Ryan, president of the Inter national Longshoremen's associa tion AFL, hinted today that the 60,000 members of his union would strike from Portland, Me., to Hampton Roads, Va., Sept. 30. unless they won demands for new wage Increases. Ryan said the union's 120-man negotiating committee voted unanimously to reject a counter wage proposal made by the New York Shipping .association, em ployer representatives. The union had asked for a 22-cent-an-haiir Increase but the employers asked Unit they take a 13-cent-an-hour wage cut. Ryan was asked whether - lie was ready to strike to .back up the unions original demands. "Wo are ready to stop work on the doth of September, lie said. "Thnt's how ready we are." Tho longshoremen's contract expires on that dale. "We nolo the employers' state ment of yesterday regarding con ditions In the Industry," Ryan said. "They talk about the four wage increases they have given us, but they forget that we had to go on strike and to arbitrate two or those four times to get what we. got." Ryan said it was "an InsMlt for shipowners to "expect us to take that kind of proposition considering tho loyalty, tho coop eration and the production we navo given tno industry." , fused to be named suid the cancellation "should be nuto ntatic." He added that the rec ommendation was butted on a combination of many reasons, and that il has no relation to the current warrant out for Iho ar rest of democratic party treasurer Mike Itactcco for harboring Wal ler V, Uergen, u fugitive from Los Angeles. Sheriff Elliott, police officers have charged, was present when Hergen was allegedly with De cleco.

'"nicy have done o, not be cause Mr. Klliott run for office as a democrat within a few hours after leaving ihc republican par ty, but because he was chosen by the ieople to replace a republican politician who had turned the sheriff's office Into a burdensome political machine.

"Therefore, the democrats who sign this stnteincnl have recom mended lo Walter J. Pearson that Mr. Elliott's bond be cancelled."

Robeson Concert Trouble Feared Peekskill, N.Y., Sept. 2 UPi Excitement spread through this community today as veterans and left-wingers squared off lor Sun day's Paul Robeson concert. Tension was heightened by a statement by the negro baritone that there would be plenty of po lice on hand' but "even if there aren't, our women and children will be protected." Police and local radio stations received many telephone calls threatening both the veterans and the concert planners. Fourteen posts of four veter ans organizations planned a "miles long" parade near the old Hollow Brook golf course, where the outspokenly left-wing singer was scheduled to perform. The site is one mile from the scene of the rioting between 500 veterans and Robeson fans which prevented a Robeson concert last Saturday night.

First place winner in the division for civic organizations was the Prineville chamber of commerce, with a float featur ing a cowgirl on a life-size wooden horse, and baton twirlers anil a irirl rlnincr an pvhiliitinn State Forest Fire Danger Held Acute Portland, Sept. 2 iUi Acting slate forester George Spaur to day said forest fire danger in five Oregon forest districts was "critical." Spaur said the Coos, Douglas, southwest, northwest and east ern Oregon districts were placed on the top critical list while all of Oregon's parched forests, baked bone-dry by 94 rainless days, were as explosive as pitchy kindling wood. He said an accumulation of combustible material on the ground and the prolonged drouth had created hazards and expos ure of unequalled danger." A sparK on the loose, started from a campflre or cigarette could cause disaster. An east wind anytime this fall, coupled with mans carelessness, couia take hundreds of human lives. could destroy payrolls and for est wealth to cripple our state for generations." Spaur said. Greatest Since 1939 Frank Hamilton, forest super visor for southwest Oregon, re ported there had been no general rain in that area since late May and that it was bone drv "from the floor of the valleys to the top of the mountains. . . In eastern Oregon the fire haz ard exceeds that of any year since 1939. according to district supervisor L. C. Moorehead. Keith Young, district forester in Coos county, reported no rain since the middle of May. "People down here are praying the east winds won't blow." Young said. "They remember the loss of life and property when the Bandbn fire started Septem ber 26, 1936. after Just such a long dry period. We're more than worried, and I believe our citi zens are trying to help." So far this year the Coos dis trict has had 66 fires, all man caused with 1,214 acres of tim ber destroyed. Young said. Spaur said Douglas and- Coos counties together contain the largest continuous block of vir gin timber in the United States. He said it was Oregon's "timber breadbasket." He said it was doubtful that the area ever could recover from a conflagration such as the Tillamook bum which in three fires destroyed thousands of acres of timber valued at millions of dollars in northwestern Oregon.

Central Oregon Restaurants Given Department Ratings Restaurants in Jefferson, Des chutes, and Crook counties which in 1948 had their eating utensils tested for bacteria counts, were rated seventh, eighth, and thir teenth, respectively, among the 36 counties of the state on the basis of the tests, according to a statement released jointly today by Dr. Elizabeth Bishop and Al bert VV. Westfall, of the Trl County health department. Pur pose of the test was to determine cleanliness of the utensils. Multnomah county, with the largest number of restaurants, was rated 21. .Westfall, who is sanitarian for the three central Oregon counties, said that only about 50 per cent of the eating establishments In the state were covered In the 1948 tests, and the remainder were covered in tests which were con ducted In July of this year. Re sults of the latter will not be available until next year. Many Satisfactory Of the tests made in eight res taurants In Jefferson county this past year, 61 per cent showed up as satisfactory. Westfall explain ed that the tests which were made Air, Steamer Lines Severed; Crisis Looms Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Sept. 2 dP. Yugoslavia announced to night that It has cut two more ties with Russia by liquidating the air and steamship lines it operat ed Jointly with the Soviets. The announcement came as the Comlnform Journal wasf promising "total support" to Yugoslav communists opposing Marshal Tito. The report of a soviet-backed fifth column in Yu goslavia stirred up government fears that Russia might try to "liberate" the country. ' An official government an nouncement reported the liquida tion of the Yugoslav-soviet Dan ube Navigation company '(YUSPAD) and thb Yugoslav soviet Aviation company (YUSTA). It said the liquidation was ar ranged at Yugoslavia's request in negotiations with tiie soviet un- - ion. Fifth Column Formed Bucharest dispatches disclosed'.. - that the cominform, through Its 'in official journal, reported that a 1 fifth column communist party ' was being organized throughout Yugoslavia against the nto re gime. Diplomatic sources said after . reading the cominform announce ment that it could be the opening gun in a campaign to "free the oppressed people of Yugoslavia.", Official Yugoslav quarters ad mitted only last night that they were worried about the possibil ity of some such move by Kussta. f-But they said they did not believe it was likely now. . . They emphasized the possibili ty that . some 'uprising ' might be staged to give the Russian -1; troops massed along Yugoslavia's northern border a pretext to move in. Tito Returns Tito himself was reported to have returned to Belgrade from a vacation hideaway to deal wltn such a possibility. Only this week authoritative sources re ported that 50,000 soviet troops, 500 tanks and many planes had been assembled in the Romanian and Hungarian border areas fac ing Yugoslavia. , The Cominform Journal, pub- ' lished In Bucharest, also report ed that a cominform radio was bombarding Yugoslavia with "the truth," and "every communist" in Yugoslavia listened to lt. Responsible quarters' here de nied that numerous Yugoslavs were listening to the new station, which has been jamming the Bel grade radio for the last few weeks. On the contrary, they said, "only a few" tuned In. CASE DISMISSED Las Vegas, Nev., Sept. 2 IB "Sure I was drunk," Earl Co tanch told the judge. "And I'll tell you why." "I was sitting next to a man in a restaurant when all of a sud den he pulled a gun and blew his brains out. I saw the whole thing. Do you blame me for getting drunk?" "No, I don't," Municipal judge Walter Richards replied yester day. "Case dismissed." on the eating establishments cups, glasses, spoons and forks, allowed for a maximum bacteria count of 100. Any count above that was considered unsatisfac tory. Similar tests made in 28 restau rants in Deschutes county proved 60 per cent satisfactory, and of the tests made in nine Crook county establishments, 42 per cent were satisfactory. The tests revealed that some restaurant utensils had bacteria counts ranging from as little as three to as high as 15,000. Methods Important The major factor in keeping the count low, according to West fall, Is the use of the proper meth od of washing. He explained that two methods are considered satis factory. One Is the "hot water", method, which calls for the wash ing of the utensil in soap and wa ter, and then the rinsing of it In water heated to 170 degrees Fah renheit. The other method, "chemical," which is preferred over the hot water system, requir es a three compartment unit, Ono unit contains soap and water for washing the utensil.
