"Wn suddenly and The TWO SECTIONS Last Major Hitler Relic Due for Fall BERLIN U Berlin's last major relic of Adoll Hitler, the gutted ruin of the massive Relch schancellery he built for himself in the late 1930', Is going to be torn and blasted down. The build ing department In the Russian sector of the city made the an nouncement. The Russians have already rip ped out the building's Italian and Bavarian marbles and rich wood work.

Strike Slows Construction On New Plant Construction on the huge power plant of the sawmill part of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's mill at Springfield slowed down to a near halt Wednesday morning as nearly 70 members of the AFL Boilermakers union walked off the Job in a strike for higher wages. The United Press in Portland said the bollermakers were ask ing a 25-cent-an-hour raise plus an additional $1 a day living al lowance when away from home, also extra ear mileage. -27 Walkout! The vast Weyerhaeuser opera tion, which when completed ear ly in 1949 will cut 300,000 board feet per day and turn out fiber material for box use, is the lat est to be struck by the boiler makers. More than 27 contractors (all on the West Coast) have been the target of walkouts, and 18 of them have signed new contracts. The dispute at the Springfield plant la not with the Weyer haeuser company, but with the United Engineering Corp. of Phil adelphia which holds the contract for the power plant. Elmer Wil liams, the union's business agent in Portland, said that the strike was called against the contracting firm when negotiations bogged down. Weyerhaeuser Btory Jon Titcomb, manager of the Springfield plant, charged Wed nesday there was a question as to the legality of the walkout. He said that the international head quarters of the AFL union had signed an agreement with United Engineering, saying that any con tract signed prior to Sept 15 would hold until Jan. 1, 1949, with no change in rate until then. Business agents for the various trade locals met in a special ses sion Wednesday morning to dis cuss the picket line, and most de cided to call a special meeting of their locals Wednesday night. Meetlnc Called Ray Mclnnls announced a meet ing for the General Laborers Lo cal 85, and urged that all mem bers turn out for a decision on what he termed a "vital issue" to them. No comment could be gained from the bollermakers them selves. Most of the workers are from out of the Eugene area.
