Struct Poultry Firm Says Chickens Unfed Two Salem businesses remained strike-bound Thursday as AFL eroployer disputes Idled two Oregon .industries. Spoilage; threatened 2,000 dressed chickens at the Salem branch of the Northwest Poultry & Dairy Products company as 30 members of the Egg and Poultry union remained off the job for the second day. O. F. Ryals, company manager, said an additional 1,500 live chick ens at the firm were threatened with starvation because there is no help to feed them. He said the fowl have been fed only once since pick ets took up positions Wednesday noon, and that four daily feedings are necessary to keep them in good condition. The 2,000 dressed chickens, Ry als said, are still in excellent con dition in storage Coolers, but will spoil if the strike continues for more than a few days. "No Season for Spoilage' Herbert . Barker, secretary of the Salem Central Labor and Trades council and secretary of the Butcher's union, an affiliate of the poultry union, said he could see no reason for any spoilage at the plant. "We have left a union worker at the plant J to feed the poultry and maintain refrigeration equip ment," Barker said. "In a strike of this kind it is always union policy to take care of perishable stock and prevent spoilage."!; - Ryals, however said the union employe still on the job had not received Instructions to feed the poultry and was confining his la bors to the refrigeration machin ery. Preventing Deliveries He said pickets were preventing deliveries of poultry and feed ex cept in the cases of a few farmers and non-union merchants who are making their own- pickups at the plant. The Union won't let our merchandise go out the door," Ry al charged. "That's not taking care of our perishables.'' Other company;; plants, includ ing those at Albany and Portland, are also shut down by the wage dispute. Meanwhile the three - day - old teamster - warehouse men's strike continued to stop operations at Pa cific Fruit & Produce plants in Salem, Portland, Albany, Corval lii and three other cities. In Salem pickets continued to patrol the warehouse, stopping all deliveries except those to mer chants picking up. merchandise in their own trucks. Both disputes were still being negotiated in Portland Thursday evening. Air Force to Start Airlift Training WASHINGTON,!

U. S. Delegate Warren R. Austin told the United Nations assembly's political committee that his gov ernment wants no monpoly on a to mic force. Then as October presi dent of the security council he set 3 p.m. Monday as the hour for the start of debate on the fateful issue of Berlin where the western pow ers charge the soviet union with threatening the peace of the world. Austin said Russia had blocked global control of the atomic bomb by refusing to sacrifice any of her sovereignty to permit international inspection and control of sources of atomic energy. He noted the soviet union vetoed a majority-accepted control plan in the council. "Fear has supplanted hone" he said, "because the soviet union has insisted on placing its sovereignty athwart security for all." Austin said the United States is willing to submit to international control and inspection because the Americans "want peace for the world, for themselves and for their children."
