More than a million mourners said farewell to the pontif in the 33 hours of public viewing that preceded interment. The unprece dented turnout was a measure of the public affection for the peas ant's son whose reign lasted scarcely . four and one-half years. Another sign of the warmth felt for Pope John and of the achievements of his career as priest and pope were the calls being made already for sainthood for the pontiff. "Papa Santo" the holy pope many voices cried out during the long pilgrimage past his cata falque in the basilica. Several Italian newspapers quoted an un named Vatican prelate as having said: "In the early centuries of the church, the people would al ready have proclaimed him a' saint," In this century, there is no canonization by acclamation. It it a long and complicated proc ess. But many of the world's half billion. Catholics already fern cer tain they or their children will be praying to the late pontiff as a saint. On June 19. the College of Car dinals, the Pope's aides and ad visers during his lifetime, begin their secret conclave to elect his successor. The actual balloting starts June 20. A two-thirds ma jority is required.

The 1963 legislature granted the commission the power of eminent domain. The dam is the property of the Sheep Ridge Ditch Co., an irriga tion project. The company has au thorized the fishway, Ayers said, but land owners have refused to grant an easement to reach the dam except at a price he con siders excessive.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1963 More Northwest To Close Down PORTLAND, Ore. (I'Pl) Some 19.000 workers are expected to be idled because of strikes or shutdowns in the lumber industry from Northern California to Wash ington by tonight. Vice president Lowry Wyatt of Weyerhaeuser Co., said Thursday all operations of his firm and those of International Paper, Crown Zellerbarh and Rayonier at which members of the Inter national Woodworkers of America or the lumber and sawmill work ers union are employed would be closed after the last shift today. The closure is in retaliation for a strike by the two unions against St. Regis Paper Co., and U. S. Plywood Corp., two other mem bers of the Northwest big six lumber products firms. The strike was called after negotiations over a new contract were broken off. There were indications that talks might be resumed soon. In a statement announcing the shut down Wednesday, the big six pledged to continue negotiations whenever the unions requested. Harvey Nelson, regional presi dent of the 1WA, said his union is willing to return to the bar gaining table "anytime the com panies are willing to make a rea sonable offer." Reedsport Plant Is Being Closed No change has taken place In the circumstances or plans in the Reedsport - Gardiner forest prod ucts industry strike and shutdown, according to a report from Reeds port correspondent Dawn Pescau after a check of various informa tion sources this murning. The International Paper Co. con tinued wrapping up processes for the Friday night closure of all production departments, Mrs. Pe seau said. U.S. Plywood Corp. construction and production operations remain ed at a standstill behind picket lines. The pickets Had been re moved from the dike entrances to the plant when company orders were announced on signs posted at the gates that these entrances were to be used by employes of the contractors only. Problem Not Solved Still unsnarled was the issue of whether or not the U.S. Ply wood Corps lay-up or sheathing plant would remain closed by the strike. Most of the 50-man con struction job is being handled for the company by craft union em ployes with two sub-contractors handling the electrical installations and boiler house construction. The Marshfield Electric Co. and the Balden Contracting Co. are the two sub-contractors. General Manager Jim Bagley of the Reedsport operations of U.S. Plywood pointed out that the halt ing of construction on the plywood lay-up plant will delay still long er the start of operations of the entire plant when the strike is ended. The veneer plant, he said, will necessarily be held back pend ing the completion of the plant for the finished plywood product. Work is continuing on Interna tional Paper Co.'s Gardiner pulp and paper plant construction, it is on a site separato from the ply wood and sawmill operations and is being done by separate contrac tors. The closure of the plant is taking place at the termination of the various day shifts. The start ing and ending of the shifts have been staggered to prevent snarl ing of traffic, Mrs. Peseau said Macmillan, JFK To Confer Again ABOARD USS.

The IWA had modified its original 40-cents demand to 35 cents. The LSW originally asked 60 cents. Nelson charged the companies have refused to mako a fair wage offer and have given no Log Haulers Won't Cross Picket Lines The Douglas County Log Truck ers Association's executive board has voted unanimously to respect all picket lines of Uie International Woodworkers of America and Lum ber and Sawmill Workers unions in the current industry strike.
