VW 8A , EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday. Mir. , 1M Labor Unrest Mounts; DeGaulle Stands Firm PARIS lB French electrical ilnd gas workers went on a two hour strike Friday while a week-old walkout still paralyzed the nation's coal mines. Growing labor unrest moved swiftly toward a major crisis be tween the President Charles de Gaulle's government and Com munist, Socialist and Catholic unions. Beyond immediate demands for wages, shorter working hours and other benefits was the issue of the right to strike. Workers in the nationalized electrical and gas industry walked out to protest the gov ernment's drafting of the na tion's 200,000 striking coal mm ers. Metal workers in eastern France and the upper Loire Valley scheduled a one-way walkout Tuesday, charging that the draft order abridged the right to strike. The Catholic Labor Union in the Moselle region of eastern Vatican Meeting Stirs Speculation By GERALD MILLER ' Of the Auoclated Preu VATICAN CITY The meeting between Premier Khruslv fbev's son-in-law and Pooe John XXIII sparked speculation Fri- day that the Soviet Union and the Roman Catholic Church may be on the threshold ol a major DrcaK-inrougn 10 irienaner relations. Signs of a change between the Kremlin and the Vatican have been evident for months, i ' The 18-minute private audience which Pope John granted Alexei Adzhubei Thursday was the first face to face meeting in I history or a Koman uainouc May Mindszenty Leave U.S. Legation VATICAN CITY OJPD Re ports circulated here Friday that Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, primate of Hungary, may soon leave the U. S. legation in Buda pest, where he fled for asylum in 1956. " A spokesman or the Austrian Embassy to the Holy Sec said that Franziskus Cardinal Koe nig, archbishop of Vienna, will be going to Budapest and "he is likely to meet Cardinal Minds zenty." Newspaper Speculation '. The statement on Cardinal Kocnig's trip followed news paper speculation that the arch bishop was going to Hungary in an effort to persuade the pri mate to leave the nation. Mindszenty has been in the legation since Russian tanks crushed the abortive Hungarian revolt. According to Vatican sources In the past, the 71-year-old Hungarian primate has not wanted nor asked to leave his country the only circumstances under which the Communist government would permit him to leave the U. S. legation. Embarrassing to U. S. - But his presence there has 1ieen embarrassing to the United States whose normal policy is to refuse political asylum in embassies or legations. For some time the Vatican also took the stand that it did not want Mindszenty to leave Hungary. ' According to Vatican sources, the Vatican now would be will ing to have Mindszenty released and out of the country although I he Holy See prefers that he be released and remain in the na tion whose Catholic Church he heads. ruler and a leading figure from the Soviet Union. Besides his family connection with Premier Khrushchev, Adz hubei, 39, is chief editor of Iz vestia, the Soviet government newspaper. The initiative for the meeting came from the Soviet side. Adz hubei and Khrushchev's daugh ter, Rada, are touring Italy. Vat ican officials said the couple asked to see the Pope. Appar ently Pope John welcomed the opportunity. There was no suggestion that communism is coming to terms with the church. Rather, Khrush chev appears ready to try for co-existence with Catholicism. A major overture came from the Soviets last October. The Russian Orthodox Church ac cepted the Vatican's invitation to send observers to the Vatican Ecumenical Council. Last month Moscow released a Ukrainian Catholic archbishop held in pris on (or IB years. Pope John's meeting with Adzhubei coincided with reports that some kind of diplomatic or consular tic might be in the making between the Vatican and Moscow. Prior to his meet ing with Pope John, Adzhubei said he thought a Vatican con sulale in the Soviet Union would be a good idea.

Dyer, 35, who now is city manager of the Coos County town of Empire. He will succeed Fred J. Young, who has resigned. France called for a nationwide general strike in both private and nationalized industries. By defying the draft order to return to the pita, the miners made themselves liable to fines or jail sentences. The govern ment has made no move to en force the draft, and the miners stood fast in defiance of it. But official sources indicated the government may order the ar rest of the strike leaders as a first step. Trains Halted The. electricity and gas strike caused lights to blink out, halt ed elevators, lowered gas pres sure and stopped the vast Paris subway system. It also halted commuter trains into Paris. But since it came after the rush hour, most commu'ers got to work. The 110,000 electricity and gas workers also seek pay boosts to bring them into line with workers in private industry. The reason the government is de termined to break the miners' strike is because it fears wage hikes for the miners will bring new demands from workers in other nationalized industries. Premier Georges Pompidou planned a radio-television ad dress to the nation tonight on the coal strike. He is expected to announce the government's next moves. Supplies Dwindle The coal strike, which began last Friday, was the first major clash between the government and France's organized labor bloc in De Gaulle's i'n years in office. Coal supplies dwindled but pressure for coal from home owners tapered off with a sharp rise in temperatures. Two factories in the Marseille area closed when coal reserves ran out. Other factories report ed they were on emergency reserves. The gas and electricity and railroad industries were not threatened immediately. The gas industry reported a 30-day sup ply. A spokesman for the rail roads said only 25 per cent of the nation's trains depend on coal for fuel. : turkey yt? r X&jzi'o ' J syriaX I v tV . f JORDAN SAUDI ' l7yZ- ARABIA 0 Coup (AP Wirephoto) Pro-Nasser Army officers Friday launched a revolution in Syria, marking the third military coup in that country in 18 months. Rebels held radio stations in Damascus and Aleppo, both under lined, and broadcast their communiques. U.A.R. Welcomes Uprising in Syria Anti-Gaming Raids Staged WASHINGTON (UPD Inter nal Revenue Service acents snooped down on gambling op erations in 52 cities Thursday night, arresting 131 persons who failed to produce federal gambling stamps. The agents, striking simultan eously at 149 bookmaking and numbers parlors, seized 11 auto mobiles, 37 slot and pinbalt ma chines, and confiscated $25,000 in cash. Raids were conducted in cities in 19 states New York, Ten nessee, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Kansas. Missouri. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Michigan, Il linois, South Dakota, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, Texas, Utah, and California. An IRS spokesman said it was part of the agency's "systematic, periodic raids." The last one came in December. CAIRO iin The United Arab Republic Friday welcomed the Syrian coup but reserved a blan ket blessing for the new military rulers. The U.A.R. quickly promised to protect the Syrian rebels from outside interference. And the Montana OKs Amendment To Compact HELENA, Mont. W ' Gov. Tim Babcock has signed an amendment to the Columbia River Compact under which a unanimous vote of member states would be required for al location of power. Each member state would re tain the right to seek power al location from any dam located wholly or partly within its boundaries. The other major slates covered by the proposed compact are Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The other member states will be asked to ratify the amend ment. Montana ratified the compact in 1961. as did Idaho. A mil ratuying it was ap proved by the Washington House last week and will be given a hearing Sunday by the Senate State Government Committee at OJympia. The Oregon Senate's State and Federal Affairs Committee is de ferring action until it sees what Washington docs. Voice of Arabs radio emotional ly extended "greetings to you, people of Syria, for your blessed uprising, which brings Syria back to the path of Arab unity." However, there was no reflec tion here of the delirious street scenes in Baghdad. In fact, Cairo streets reflected the quiet of this Moslem sabbath, and offi cial sources were similarly plac id. It was evident that while the Syrian coup was no surprise to Cairo, it may raise more ques tions than it answers. The outcome could be a genu ine move toward Arab unity. It could equally result in some alignment of Syria and Iraq in the northern "fertile crescent," which Egypt has historically op posed. Of particular interest here is the involvement of Syria's Ba' ath Socialist Parly with the new military regime. Although President Gamal Ab- del Nasser warmly welcomed the March 8 revolt in Iraq with its heavy Ba'athist involvement, Syria is a different problem. The emergence of Ba'alhisls in Syria would pose to Nasser the question of how to reconcile his nationalistic one-party Arab Socialism with the equally na tionalistic but less authoritarian Ba'athists. From the beginning of the Syrian union with Egypt in 195R, Nasser had differences with the Ba'athists. The parly was finally sub merged in Nasser's one-party state and, perhaps as a result, Ba'alhisls were hardly pro-Nasser when the Syrian-Egyptian breakup took place in 1961, U.S. Warns: ! A-Test Stand Has Limits GENEVA (UPD American sources Friday cautioned diplo mats at the 17-nation disarma ment conference against read ing too much flexibility into the U.S. position on a nuclear test ban treaty. ' I The conference scheduled an other session Friday morning,' but no progress was expected in breaking the East-West dead lock on the nuclear issue. The An.erican source said U.S. flexibility on a nuclear treaty is conditional on Soviet acceptance of certain basic prin ciples of negotiation. They said reports the United States may be planning some further compromise to force the Russians' hand were exagger ated. The conference has been stalled on the question of on site inspections needed for po licing a test ban. The West has insisted on seven, but the Rus sians will permit only three and refuse to negotiate the matter. ! Some reports that the United Slates may ease its position j have been slirrcd by the an-j nouncement that a new Anglo- j American draft treaty is being j prepared for presentation here next month. j The treaty is said lo' place pri- j mary reliance for policing a ban j on monitoring devices outside the Soviet Union. The eight neutral nations at ; the conference have been work-' ing on a compromise plan which they hope Moscow and the West I will accept as a basis for reach- j ing agreement. The plan is re-: ported to call for five annual : on-site inspections. . FOR OUR dm Stop! BIG SAVINGS '82 CHRYSLER Newport 2 door hardtop with power brakes and steering.
