Employes ratified a settlement providing for wage increases or reduced working hours. The strike, which had been on for 52 days, officially ended at 12:01 a.m., Monday, local time. EHEJ PCD CD W. M. Tugman, editor of the Eugene Register-Guard has just ; completed a shuttle trip across the j United States. He not only "shut- ! tied" east and west but nortn and south. And as he traveled he dipped his bucket into Ameri cana. What hi. came up with he set down in travel letters to his paper. His was indeed a journey of exploration, not so much into the surface features of America, the street canyons of the cities, the rivers and the mountains, but into Viiiman varieties which DeODle the continent. He studied America thrmio-h the Characters tnat ne met: the "librul" employe in the TV A nffire at Knoxville (and the nipped individualist editor who ! va; hostile to TVA), the old edi tor now retired to Martha's Vine yard who had fired him as cub reporter, professors at Harvard, a Negro woman and the high school student whom he picked up while driving along the high way in Georgia, the anti-Truman Texan in the club car of the Sun set limited, the bum taking a sun bath in Union Square, San Fran cisco. He summed up his impressions in these paragraphs with which he ended his Americana Epistles: America is the sum of millions of loyalties and some of them can ! be misguided or mispiacea, dux the essential loyalties run very deep. Again and again we have been reminded of Whitman's lines: "A GREAT CITY is that which has the greatest men and women ... if it be but a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the world." The power of America is not in Washington. D. C. It springs out of the soil in every corner of the land. It attaches to the most unlikely and difficult places. It is a thing inseparable from freedom and dignity in man. Out of the soil! Tugman has given his readers a fresh version of "Ballad for Americans."

About five additional workers will go back on duty, probably today, he said.) The agreement which resulted in the strike ending was completed by company and union officials Friday.

Boatner Says KOJE ISLAND (JP) - Tough Communist leaders in this big stockade are forging a crudely equipped army to beat back any attempt by United Nations forces to impose control over 80,000 North Korean and Chinese pris oners of war. That is the virtually unanimous conclusion of the American and South Korean soldiers who have been watching the surly, rebel lious prisoners for months. A careful survey of the prison island's 17 occupied compounds supports that ominous conclusion. Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner Monday said the Reds probably could have won control of the island a week or two ago "if they had wanted." The Reds, still holding uncon tested control , inside their com pounds, were frusy Monday ham mering out knives and spears. Johnny Says Silent 'I Do Sings 6Cryy for Admirer By HENRIETTA LEITH NEW YORK (jP)-Johnny Ray, the crooner who cries more than he croons, was inaudible for several minutes Sunday at his own wedding. Ray and Marilyn Morrison, the daughter of a California night club owner, were married in a quiet ceremony in a private suite at the Hotel Warwick in mid-Manhattan. Mayor and Mrs. Vincent Impel litteri were among the 40-odd guests. Uninvited guests were a fluctu ating crowd of bobbysoxers. They hung around the hotel lobby and the sidewalk outside for more than two hours to get a glimpse of the man who made weeping in public fashionable through his records. Just before the ceremony Ray said he was "paralyzed," Afterwards he said he felt much better and couldn't get over "how nice that 'Mr. and Mrs.' sounds." But during the ceremony Ray lost his famous voice almost com pletely. Even in the small room, none could hear him say "I do." The ceremony was performed by Special Sessions JudRe Herman Barshay, who ended the proceed ings with: "I sentence each of you to a life of health, contentment and happiness." Then Ray allowed a representa tive from the bobbysoxers to come up-Jeans-clad Rene MagTisso, 14-year-old head of a Ray fan club in Brooklyn, listened in awe as the weeping crooner reeled off one of her favorite songs, "Cry." To top things off, he kissed her and gave her a sip of champagne. 1 The teen-ager wandered back. i dazed, to her companions. j The singer and his bride hur ried off to their reception. Parents 'Dazed' Almost as dazed as the lucky bobbysoxer were Ray's parents, 1 Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ray of Rose- burg, Ore. The singer's father, a millwright for 30 years, recently retired. "Johnny did that." he explained. He added that they would soon move onto a big new farm Johnny had bought them at Salem, Ore. He thought the wedding and re ception, and meeting people like Milton Berle, were "terrific." Motherly-looking Mrs. Ray said she wasn't too surprised she had always thought Johnny would amount to something, ever since he started playing the piano at the age of two. "But we never expected quite this," she said. "As the New York ers say it's fabulous."

It said Queen PIiTaKfith TT ic onvinm tr havp her husband pilot her on as many trips as possible, but that there is opposition in some court circles to having him do this. The Duke will take his flying training in the Navy, where he holds a commission, The People said. They have some guns seized from guards. Piles of stones are stacked ready for use. And they have stocks of gasoline intended for cooking but useful for making the dreaded firebombs or "Molotov cocktails" which are a favorite weapon of partisans. Boatner said the condition was serious before the arrival of battle-tested American troops. The new commander of the stormy prisoner of war camps said the situation had changed. He said Army authorities now control the prisoners outside the compound. But Boatner admitted that Communist prisoner leaders still held sway inside Koje's 17 barbed wire enclosures. Boatner's remarks were made in a talk to British and Canadian troops who landed on Koje Sun day to bolster the security garrison.

There is an ominous finality about the signing of the peace con tract with West Germany.

I Pair Attempt to Cross Atlantic On Rubber Raft MONTE CARLO, Monaco f. Two men set out Sunday to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a tiny rub ber life raft which carries not an ounce of food. Their purpose is to prove that shipwreck victims or downed airmen can live on the food and water of the sea. Dr. Alain Bombard of France is head of the tiny expedition. With him is Jack Palmer, a na tive of Chiswick, Eng., but now a naturalized citizen of Panama. The raft, 16 feet long and seven feet wide and named "L'Hereti que" (The Heretic), was towed out into the Medierranean before dawn and cast adrift 10 miles from shore. Equipment aboard Includes a sail, two pairs of oars, a radio transmitter, two cameras, 3,000 yards of film and a harpoon. The two men expect to live on fish and whatever sea plant life they can collect. For water, they will use a mixture of the liquid squeezed from harpooned fish and sea water. They expect to make their first landfall at Gibraltar in three to four weeks and then drift on across the Atlantic to the West In dies.

Stalin's hid den legions already must be gath ering their forces for the grand assault. The big question will be this: How far will the Russians dare to push? Here are some things we can look for: GERMANY: The Russians ap parently are ready to take the wraps off their thinkly masked East German army, threatening West Germany with another Ko rea. It is likely to be only a threat. A Korea-like attack in Germany would mean all-out war, and the Russian do not a withdrawal. The Oder-Niesse Line is hard bv. But the propa- We can be fairlv surei howeve of lncreased harassment in West Beriin ' Vie can expect the Communists to hlt hard on the "national front campaign in Germany, appealing to German dreams, German na- I tionalism, German pride, German I fears and German weaknesses. We can expect a concerted as sault of the Adenauer government. We can expect an attempt to lure the strong West German social ists into an alliance of opportunity against the Adenauer coalition. FRANCE: Look for the political strike to be worked to a fare-thee-well. Dress rehearsals al ready have been under way. In the Communist-controlled Gener al Confederation of Labor (OGT), the strongest of France's three major labor confederations, the hard Communist core could rally perhaps 20 per cent of the OGT members to do the Kremlin's bid ding. It would be enough to create chaotic conditions. Cells of sabo teurs and strike agitators are be ing schooled for action. ITALY: Strikes, mass demon strations, sabotage and a strong offensive on the political front are in the offing. The divide-and-con-quer technique is being polished up. The Communists will be play ing heavily on Italy's economic troubles, blaming the United States and the defense buildup for unemployment. Lots of Communists Italy has more card-carrying Communist Party members than any other Western country. Many of these are Communists only be cause of their economic troubles. The hard core of the party is still small and tightly knit. But the Communists have a trump in their control of the biggest labor group. So far as Europe is concerned, the Russians seem likely to con fine themselves to using their front groups in the Western countries. They cannot be expected to take the West German peace contract, with all its implications, lying down. 1 It seems a good guess that they will push just so far perhaps to the edge of the precipice, but not over it.

Adlal E. Stevenson said Sunday "it would be presumptuous, arrogant and conceited to say now what I would do in event of a draft" for the Democratic nomination for U. S. President.' Objections by France Erased By Negotiators BONN, Germany UP) - A pe contract giving West Germany -nough freedom to enter an armed alliance with the West was com pleted here Sunday. Last-ninut French objections were overcome after long hours of negotiation. The contract is to be sigsed Monday by the Big Three foreign ministers and Chancellor Kocrad Adenauer in a ceremony starting at 10 a. m. (1 a. m., PST.) But on the very day the historic document was completed, the Rus sians made their third demand in three months for a four-power conference to frame a peace treaty for a united and completely "sov ereign" Germany. It was Moscow's newest movt in the strueele for Oermanv parently another baited bid to keep me uermans out of the Western camp. The West German pact a par tial peace treaty for only part of the former enemy Reich will net be published until after the sign ing ceremony. To Create Army It will end the occupation, grant the federal republic near sover eignty and, combined with the sa nation treaty to create a million man European army with 400,000 Germans in it, bind the 48 million Germans west of the Iron Curtain to Free Europe. The latter treaty is slated fr signature in Paris Tuesdaj-. Neither pact is effective until ratified and both face long and spiritual parliamentary battles, es pecially in Bonn and Paris, whera " strong political groups art hostile to the projects. In two days of meetings here, America's Dean Acheson, Britairr'a Anthony Eden, France's Robert Schuman and the 76-year-ki German Chancellor ironed out thm last few points blocking comple tion of the pact, which had oeen in negotiation a year. Demands Settled which for a time threatened to which for a time threatened tot block the signing were virtually settled Sunday. The negotiators agreed on the wording of a British-American guarantee to pre vent Germany breaking out f the European army and becttore again a menace to her nfiphhnn Allied officials were confident it would quite French fears. But while the way apparently has been cleared for Schumaa to sign Monday it was still an open question whether the guarantee would satisfy the French suffici ently to enable the two pacts to be ratified.
