Strike Scene Changes Little No changes in the local lumber strike scene were reported Fri day. But a package settlement was announced at Willamina, and a similar agreement was made for a number of logging firms in Washington. There was a mill agreement in northern California, Meanwhile, no progress was re ported in getting the Oregon Conciliation Board under way. A third member of the board must still be decided upon. The governor announced earlier this week that he has ordered the board to investigate the facts in the regional strike, now ending its eighth week. A. F. Hartung, president of the IWA-CIO, announced that some 210 workers in 11 plants in or near Willamina (near McMinn ville) will go back to work follow ing a settlement calling for the full 12 14 cents an hour increase demanded by the union. About 350 loggers, in 51 logging outfits near Port Angeles, Wash., also have settled at the same rate increase, he said. The Associated Lumber and Box Co. of Dorris, Calif., accord ing to the United Press, has reached an agreement with its 155 AFL men to return at no in crease. The union local is the same one which represents the 1,300 employes of the Long-Bell Co. plant at Weed who also are going back at no increase. The union has- not approved either move.' Three Bandits Get $137,000; Suspects Held Speeding Violation Leads to Arrest CAMP SPRINGS, Md. (VP) Three stickup men cot $137,000 at a branch bank at Andrews Air Force Base Fri day but the FBI reported one was caught and two suspects were picked up. Donald K. Brown, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Baltimore, said five persons in the bank had identified a Negro as one of the holdup men. He had been arrested for speed ing by a detective who did not know about the bank robbery. , Two other men believed to have been with him were stopped at a road block set by Maryland state police at the junction of U. S. 50 and U. S. 301 between Annapolis and Washington. TAKEN TO AIR BASE They were returned to the Air Force base to be viewed by wit nesses of the robbery. Detective Sgt. Charles L. Perry go of the Prince Georges County police arrested three Negro men soon after the bank was robbed. He had chased them at 80 miles an hour in a sedan with New York license tags and a special air base identification plate. He said the driver offered him a $20 bribe, saying he was "in a hurry." Perrygo look all three lo the Prince Georges County police sta tion, but the other two men fled when the driver was taken inside for booking on the speeding charge. The bandits entered the branch bank located 10 miles southeast of the capitol in adjacent Wash ington just a little after the bank opened at 9 a.m. They quickly herded the four employes, two of them women, into the vault and locked them in after picking up the money. NO BURGLAR ALARM The employes were Herbert D. Pinckney, manager Milton Sill- ner, Mrs. Margaret Sweider and Mrs. Bernadine Westcamp. None of them was injured. The bank wvas not equipped with a burglar alarm and has no armed guard on duty during banking hours. The employes freed themselves by means of a release installed inside the vault for that purpose. Police Clash With Strikers FRANKFURT, Germany lFI Bitter clashes between police and striking Bavarian metal workers continued Friday the fifth day of the walkout affecting 220,000 employes. Other Bavarian centers report ed peaceful picketing, but in Mu nich brawls broke out when hun dreds of police tried to protect nonstrikers. Many persons were injured. At the big Siemens electrical plant, 300 club-wielding police tangled with 1,000 pickets who vainly tried to prevent 5,000 non strikers from going on the job The strikers became enraged when eight pickets were arrested and charged police three times. Company officials said the number of strikers was dwindling. Employers, who had been claim ing that 50 per cent of the work ers were on the job, Friday said 65 per cent were back. j-"rJ f'', CHINA. GOA-a"-j,'EiAvt' Colombo ' VMUtl MUi (AP Wirephoto) SOUGHT FOR INDIA Arrow locates Portuguese Indian territory of Goa, target of scheduled "liber ation march" Sunday by Goan National Congress supporters seeking merger with India. Portuguese of ficials in the enclave say they will resist invaders. Daman and Nager Aveli, underlined, also are Portu gueses enclaves. Nehru Okays Goa Invasion NEW DELHI, India Wt Prime Minister Nehru gave the green light Friday for a "liberation march" into the Portuguese In dian territory of Goa next Sun day provided the marchers are Goans, not Indians, and provided the demonstrators maintain tra ditional Indian non-violence Addressing a meeting of the all-Indian newspaper editors con ference, Nehru said he thought his army could occupy the dis puted territory in "a trice," but added, "However, we do not want to use the army and will not. The premier added there could bo "only one ultimate fate for Goa merger with India." Portugal so far has refused to even discuss cession of her three pockets of territory on India's west coast. They total 1,538 square miles and Goa is the largest. The two disputing na lions agreed earlier this week to ask six other governments to make an on-the-spot investigation of the Goan situation. Leaders of the Goan national Congress, headquartered in Bom bay, have ordered their pro-In dian supporters to march un armed into Goa Sunday in sup port of their demands for mer ger of the territory with India. The Portuguese, contending al most all of the 500,000 Goans prefer to remain under their control, say they will resist the invasion by all means possible. Goa has about 1,000 policemen and less than 4,000 Portuguese troops. The Year's Only Friday the 13th Minus Mishaps It's Friday the 13th, the day for things unfortunate. But at prcsstime knock on wood not even a minor catas trophe could be found. 11 thundered and rained to begin the day. But, surprising ly, no one seemed too unhappy about it. The farmers didn't mind what little rain came, and the sponsors of the Emer ald Empire Roundup, begin ning Friday, liked the precipi tation it settled the dust. This is the only chance in 1954 for the superstitious to exercise their knowledge of accident antidotes. The next Friday the 13th comes in May. Bill to Ban Red Party Approved By JOHN CHADWICK of The Associated press WASHINGTON !PI Unanimous Senate passage of a bill to outlaw the Communist party confronted GOP House leaders Friday with, the politically trick question of what to oo wiin it in me iace oi auiiuiiisuauuu upyuMiiuu. The Senate's action, taken at a session Thursday that had many a head spinning, gave an ironic twist to the ad ministration's efforts to drive some anti-Communist meas ures through Congress in the closing days of the session. With time running out tor many ot the proposals urged by Atty. Gen. Brownell, the Senate unexpectedly whipped tnrouen sometnine ne noi $450 Buys Million-Dollar Masterpiece NEW YORK Wl A Chicago art collector paid $450 for painting which, an expert now declares, is worth more than one million dollars. The picture is a Leonardo da Vinci "Madonna and Child," says Dr. Maurice H. Goldblatt, direc tor of the art galleries of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. Dr. Hanns R. Teichert, Chi cago decorator who has a collec tion of more than 100 renais sance and primitive works, brought the painting here about four months ago and asked Dr. Goldblatt's opinion of it. Painted in oil on wood 25 by 20'A inches, it was in possession of a New York antique dealer who said it was done by an unknown artist. Dr. Goldblatt, who has been honored by the French govern ment and the Louvre in Paris for earlier studies of Leonardo's works, said an amateur had over- painted parts of the face and neck to make them narrower. and also had ovcrpaintcd the upper left eyelid and eye to en large the opening between the lids and make more of the eye ball visible. , He suggested the overpainting be removed by a restorer. The work was done here and the re sult, Dr. Goldblatt says, was electrifying." A genuine Leonardo is such a valuable piece of property that even a million dollar estimate doesn't mean much. It's impos sible to tell how much one might bring, if any were for sale. Dr. Teichert plans to keep this one. C. M. McCullough Dies While at Work Coriyss M. McCullough, Rl. 4, Box 33A, died at about 8:30 a.m. Friday apparently from a heart attack while at work on property near his home, according to Lane County Coroner Fred Buell. Bucll said McCullough had just started to work on his logging operation when ho slumped over and fell. Two witnesses, John Dunbar and Ray Smith of Rt. 4, called an ambulance. The victim's age was not immediately known. Bucll said an autopsy probably will be performed to determine Ihe actual cause of death. Poole Larsen Funeral Home is handling arrangements. Strike-Bound Economy Mystifies Business Holds Steady By JAMES G. WELCH of the Register-Guard Where do the dollars come from? Most of the biggest plants in the Northwest's major industry arc shut down but money is flowing just about as before. Bank debits for the month ot July were released Thursday by the Federal Reserve System and they show only a one per cent slump in the seven western states, and no slump at all in many of the major lumbering towns. Eugene, as a matter of fact, had $2 million more in debit vol ume in July than in June. The strike started June 21 at most mills. r SLIGHT INCREASE For Oregon, the only three debit listings (total amount of business transacted by check) show Eugene at $70 million for July, compared to $68 million in cent fall from the previous July, from $85 million lo $76 million. I .One manager said business is, up some $2,000 for July over ihe improving, that his best sales are same month last year. And indi is increasing or holding steady compared to pro-strike levels. SAVINGS UP Savings and bonds are not fill ing the gap left by the absence of the big mills' payrolls, because savings arc up and no unusual amount of bonds has been cashed. Consumer credit payments on washing machines, cars, etc. is holding steady, with no appreci able increase in late payments.

Bankers and businessmen point out that any judgment of the pres ent economic well-being of the area must lake into consideration three things: (1) that Lane Coun ty hit something of a low spot this past winter, with bank debits and retail sales slumping, (2) that business in other regions is on the way up, and (3) that August normally is a slow, in-between period when people have com pleted their summer buying and haven't begun winter shopping. and when they're busy vacation ing. BIG MYSTERY II results in Eugene's bank deb its being two per cent below the same month a year ago, and two per cent abovo tho previous month, Some local authorities consider only hadn't asked for but had consistently opposed. Democratic senators, led by Sen. Humphrey of Minnesota, came up with an anti-Communist measure that proved to have an irresistable appeal to lawmakers in this election year. Sen. Cooper (R-Ky) told his colleagues just before the vote what every other senator knew that there were "political impli cations in this atmosphere." TOPSY TURVY DAY The Senate started off iU topsy-turvy day with a bill by Sen. Butler (R-Md) aimed at wiping out Communist-dominated labor unions and wound up by tacking it, in modified form, on to Humphrey's bill as an amend ment. Humphrey had succeeded in substituting his bill for But ler's. Tho result was a combination measure that would outlaw the Communist parly and also would strip Communist-dominated labor unions of the right to be certified as bargaining agents by the Na tional Labor Relations Board. It passed 85 0, leaving the next move up to House members who have been pushing bills of their own aimed at outlawing the party. Rep. Harrison A. Williams Jr.' (D-NJ) promptly announced he would introduce a companion to the Humphrey bill Monday. He said in a statement the Senate bill "is a tremendous stride for ward in tho fight against the in ternational conspiracy of com munism." BOLT FROM THE BLUE Butler's bill aimed at Commu nist-infiltrated unions had admin istration backing, although it was not exactly what Brownell had asked. It also had strong opposi tion from senators who contended it was an ill-drawn measure that could be used to destroy legiti mate labor unions. It survived a first test when the Senate rejected, 57-31 a pro posal to sidetrack it in favor of creating a commission to study the problem of communism in labor unions and to report back next year. Then Humphrey, a strong op ponent of the Butler bill, offered as a substitute a measure to out law the Communist party. No hearings had been held on it. There had been no formal dis cussion of it. It was dropped into the debate like a bolt from the blue. Butler said Humphrey's real purpose was to kill off his bill. Humphrey countered that the way to meet the Communist menace was head on. 'STRIKE AT THE TRUNK' "Why saw off the branches?" he asked. "Let's strike at the trunk." In the ensuing fireworks, Sen. Ferguson (It-Mich), chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Commit tee, and some other Republicans also spoke out against the substi tute. But Sen. Knowland of Califor nia, the Republican leader, an nounced he would vote for Hum phrey's proposal if the original Butler hill became part of it and he argued strongly for it. Republicans found themselves in a position where they either had to vote for outlawing the Communist party or explain why they had rejected a bill that at least sounded more anti-Communist than anything they had proposed. The upshot was that, after some revisions in both the Hum- STRIKE EFFECTS (Continued on Page 6 A) RED PARTY BAN (Conttriiicd on Page 6-A) Junction City Youth Breaks Neck in Dive A 19-year-pkl Junction City youth, Hallio Noland, Thursday evening broke his neck while div ing in one of the roadside pools south of Junction City.
