Newspaper Page TextPage Two. TIE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE. OREGON Culinary Crews Threaten Strike (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) or $2.40 a day and are working 44 hours a week and furnish their, own uniforms. They are demand ing $3 a day or $15 for a five-day week, on a 40-hour week basis.! Restaurant owners say there is now no deduction for meals. A spokesman for the restaurant owners said Thursday that the; waitresses have asked for an in crease of 25 to 28 per cent. While they might be willing to meet this ' demand, the proposed five-day! week is the "sticker," he said. It . was pointed out that costs of oper ation have increased 10 per cent the past few months and if the Increase asked for is granted it is quite probable that the prices of meals would have to be hiked. One or two of the owners even went so far as to say they would be compelled to close their res taurants. The spokesman said, however, that they hoped that the dispute could be settled before a strike is actually called. rpTii i mil' i ,jiiey'Byv---1 SJfc -7 .

France's role in the impending conflict was further highlighted by the unexpected arrival in Vichy of Governor Pierre Boisson of French West Africa, the "de fender of Dakar" against an abor tive attempt by Gen, Charles de Gaulle's free French" forces to seize that African coast town last September. Boisson joined Generalissimo Maxime Weygand, commander of France's North African armies, in conferences regarding steadily de teriorating relations between France and her old ally, Britain. Diplomatic circles in Vichy, meanwhile, declared that Hitler was planning a Europe-Africa "League of Nations," with France acting as a peace-making link with the Americas. There was no confirmation of such a move elsewhere, however, ana it appeared to be just an other in a series of peace "trial balloons" set afloat by presum ably axis-inspired sources. Hitlers high command report ed German night raiders bombed the English industrial city of Bir mingham and the naval dockyards and arsenal at Chatham in "es pecially successful" attacks, set ting spectacular fires in both cities. London had its 24th con secutive bomb-free night. RAF warplanes struck at the nazi-held port of Boulogne, France, and bombed the harbor at Zeebrugge, Belgium. The London radi6 broadcast a Stockholm report that German planes flew over Swedish terri tory, the island of Gotland, and were driven off by Swedish anti aircraft fire. On the N6rth African front, axis reports said German and Italian artillery batteries were heavily shelling the defenses of the siege-bound British garrison at Tobruk, Libya. In Ethiopia, the fascist high command said, two Italian col umns routed British troops in the Galla Sidamo region, while other Italian forces inflicted heavy losses on a British Nigerian (na tive) regiment in another sector.

City Manager Plan Urged By Cuthbert Emphasizing the need for city manager form of government, Fred Cuthbert, associate professor of landscape architecture at the University of Oregbn, spoke to members of the Eugene Realty board Thursday on the problems which confront Eugene following its emergence from a decade of what he termed "civic hiberna tion." Eugene is a home city, with "industrial ambitions and a bad case of growing pains," Mr. Cuth bert stated. Among some of the drawbacks with which it must cope, are the parking problem, which demands expert planning and. spending of money; its lack of modern public buildings, its lack of city parks to provide rec reation and to attract strangers. The present park budget does not meet the minimum standards fdr a town of 5000, Mr. Cuthbert Said. The only public building Eugene can be proud of is the new postoffice, which, however Is in the wrong place for the development of a civic center. Mr. Cuthbert discussed the im portance of the town as a demo cratic form of government in the early days Of this country as con trasted with the present indif ference of the people and their inability to cope with the highly Complex problems of city govern ment. Eugene needs expert man agement, as could be obtained through the use of the city man ager plan, in which the council could appoint a manager who would act as chief executive. With this, there should be more active participation by the citi zens in the affairs of their local government. Preceding the talk, C. P. Till man, chairman for housing for the army cantonment program of the chamber of commerce, discussed the objects of his committee. He asked the board to prepare a di rectory of its members, and asked that the realtors appoint one of their members to serve on his committee. Robert W. Prescott, board president, announced a special meeting Monday at 7:30 p. m. at the Eugene hotel to dis cuss the proposal. ing for a "kick-off" breakfast at the Osburn hotel prior to open ing a whirlwind drive to raise the Lane county quota of $4000 as its share of the' nationwide goal of $10,765,000. Short talks by Lane county unit leaders, including Chairman Wil helm, John Gallagher and Mrs. Lillian Eldridge, head of the newly organized woman's unit, were followed by inspirational messages from James A. Rodman, Major Clarence Ford of the Sal vation Army and Father Franci6 P. Leipzig. A flying squadron of 50 work ers under the leadership of Gal laeher and Gordon Orput imme diately began a canvas of the downtown business district. A "soeelal eifts" committee com posed of prominent business men also started solicitation of larger Eugene business concerns. Needs Told A first hand picture of the pressing need for adequate recre ational facilities for the nation's defense forces was given work ers at Thursday morning's break fast by Richard Smith, Eugene youth who has been in camp with the National Guard. He told of the lack of "things to do" in com munities adjacent to training centers and praised the U.S.O. program as a much needed solu tion of the Droblem. . Headauarters for the Lane county U.S.O. have been set up at the Eugene chamber ot com merce office in the Eugene hotel, where contributions may be mailed or delivered. The University of Oregon re oorted that its seoarate campaign had met "excellent response" among faculty and staff mem bers. President Donald M. F.rb took charge of the campaign. W. L. Van Loan is heading a similar canvass in the Eugene public schools. Plans for the women's U.S.O. committee to supplement the downtown canvassing group's work were completed Thursday mornin? at a meeting of more than 20 representatives of Eu Eene civic groups. Assisting Mrs. Eldridge. chairman of the group, will be Mrs. A. F. Holmer as sec retary and Mrs. Marvin T. War lick, treasurer. lines have been carried on for the past six months and other train ing will be given as required. Softball leagues will be organ ized for both boys and girls and a semi-weekly schedule of games will be arranged between the dif ferent centers. A tennis tourna ment is also being planned and hikes, picnics and outings will be enjoyed. Every two weeks, a parents' or community night will be held with "campfire" programs and a party. More than 1200 children par ticipated in the program last year and the enrollment is expected to exceed that figure this year, ac cording to Mr. Fisher. Axis Delivers First Attack In Suez Drive (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Denny Shute Leads In National Open With 69 FORT WORTH, Tex., June 5 C) Colonial Club's par 70 was proving an extremely tough cookie for the country's best amateur and pro golfers today.

Bracketed at 71 were LawsOn Little, Dick Metz, Jug McSpaden, and Gene Kunes.

Gibraltar or ! western end, freedom of the canal is more than ever necessary for preservation of the British Middle East foothold, or if necessary, for the exit of the British fleet. Alexandria lies on the Egyptian shore, just west of the fanning es tuary of the Nile, about 130 miles west of Port Said and the canal. I (Only today Die Wehrmacht, ai publication of the German high' command, pointed out that the airline distance for German bomb ers headed for Alexandria had been reduced, by the capture of Crete, to about 500 miles.) It was pointed out in London that attacks, on Alexandria would have the double effect of hitting a British base and Egyptian morale. Alexandria is Egypt's second larg est city, with a population of near ly 700,000 to Cairo's 1.300,000. The ink was hardly dry on Lon don's afternoon press editorials begging for a stiffening of Middle East defenses when news of the bombing reached here. The Evening Standard spoke of the "urgency" of the situation while The Evening News, under a heading, "Action Stations" the traditional naval order for battle said that loss of Crete was "grim ly serious."
