M j March 2MP) The number of pickets patrolling the army's $9,000,000 ordnance depot project at Fort Wingate in- f creased , to approximately fifty Thursday, while representatives of the government, contractors and labor conferred at length on demands for union recognition. There was no disturbance. 1 Peace officers policed the area; at quitting time to assure departing . workers were not molested. ' FORT GEORGE C. MEADE, Md., March 20-;P)-Army officials Thursday were investigating what they called "prolonged and skill ful - sabotaging" of construction work at this army camp. ; Camp officials disclosed ; that uprights - in camp barracks had been sawed through so that they would collapse under heavy loads, spokes had been driven into elec tric cables , in an apparent effort to cause short circuits and start lires, and cement pillars had been weakened. ; Army officers in charge of con struction said the sabotage was the work of men who knew their business,- and not the work of disgruntled laborers. A military guard has been thrown around the barracks. SEATTLE, March 2b-(JP-A labor dispute between the AFL's Lumber and Sawmill Workers' union and the Weyerhaeuser Tim ber company, which has led to a 10-day shutdown of barracks and hangar construction work at the army's big Snohomish county air base, headed Thursday night to ward the new U. S. mediation board. E. S. Jackson, federal concili ator, said after a conference be tween union and company repre sentatives that he had recom mended to the Secretary of Labor that the Weyerhaeuser dispute be given speedy . consideration by the board which was named yester day. The dispute has kept the Sno Qualmie Falls mill shut down since last October 28. Its reper cussions hit the air base when AFL carpenters refused to handle lumber from the Weyerhaeuser mills at Everett after the sawmill union had branded it as "hot." As a result of today's develop ments, Harry Lundeberg, presi dent of, the Sailors' union f the Pacificjwho flew here from San Francisco, said he would order immediate release of the Weyerhaeuser- steamer Heffron. It has been tied up here for 12 weeks because of a picket line placed by the sawmill union. The sawmill union has demand ed a union shop, a 5-cent hourly wage increase and a week's vaca tion with pay, the terms to which other operators agreed in settle ment of a widespread two-state lumber "strike last December. Theft Suspect Held for Jury Lyman Robert DeHut, Wood burn, waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the Mar ion county grand jury Thursday on a charge of possession of an automobile belonging to the Salem Automobile company when he appeared in Salem justice court.

Ogden, Ger 'Vais, and Fred Stoval, Salem. i With the exception of DeHut, however, all were released on motion of the district attorney on grounds of insufficient evidence. The " vcar, which was driven away from the automobile com pany's lot while an attendant was .verifying a - check which after wards proved to be a forgery, was recovered in Canby with all six persons inside as passengers.

Smith, professor of geology at the University of Oregon, Eugene, told the Salem chapter of the Geo logical Society of the Oregon Country at Willamette university Thursday night. This valley, he said, is dupli cated gealogically and climatically by only two others in the world, the Po in Italy and the Grand Vale in Chile.

He had suffered a recur rence of dizzy spells suffered as a result of being hit by a pitched ball last summer. "Once a flood gets started down the valley, all hell can't stop it," the professor said, in explaining why a majority of the Willamette project dams are to be located in Lane county. Dr. Smith did not take sides on the question of whether or not these dams would ruin the salmon runs, but insisted that most ser ious study should be given toward protection of valley lands from destruction by high water.
