Truck Strike
Cuts Shipping
To a Trickle
LOS ANGELES (UP)-A strike
against three major longhaul
trucking firms erupted today into
a general industry lockout through
out the West which cut shipments
to a mere trickle.
Effects of the strike, precipita
ted by a wage dispute between
AFL Teamsters and employers,
were felt immediately. More than
10,000 workers went off the job
yesterday and the lockout was ex
pected to bring the total to 100,000.
Employers said trucking would
be curtailed as far east as Chi
cago, St. Louis and Kansas City.
Traffic from Texas to the West al
ready was affected. Produce ship
ments destined for Los Angeles'
sprawling Produce Mart failed to
arrive today.
An employers' committee met to
mop plans for transportation of
vital materials such as essential
drugs, foodstuffs and defense ma
terials. Employers said their op
erations were now ' almost at a
standstill."
"The strike against these three
companies is a strike against the
whole industry," said Wade Sher
rard, managing director of the
California Trucking Association.
"We can't stand by and let the
union pick off one or two com
panies at a time."
The employer association de
cided to order all members in the
11 Western states to halt opera
tions in retaliation to the strike.
Frank Brewster, of Seattle,
president of the Western Confer
ence of Teamsters, said "If they
want to lock our people out, it's
up to them. We have no plans at
present to strike any other car
riers." 100,000 Affected
The strike was expected to af
fect 100,000 workers operating In
ell Western states from Canada
to Mexico and from the Rocky
Mountains to the. Coast. Four-
fifths of the areas long-haul goods
move by truck.
Brewster said a strike vote by
the union s 25,000 members was
"almost unanimous" after wage
negotiations broke down last
week.
The "three firms which were
dated Freightways, Pacific Motor
Transport, and Pacific Intermoun-
tain Express. The companies han
dle nearly one third of the freight
west of the Rockies.
In .Oregon, the state's 40 car
riers, which employ 3500 drivers,
shut down in sympathy after the
walkout. The work stoppage will
halt 95 per cent of Oregon's long,
haul trucking.
Eight cities in Montana were
affected and more than 600 driv
ers and dockmen were idled.
Picket Lines
The teamsters set up picket
lines at terminals of the three
firms in Los Angeles, Portland,
Ore., El Paso, Tex., Phoenix
Ariz., Seattle, Wash., San Francis
co, and elsewhere.
Both the union and the trucking
firms agreed to deliver all goods
in transit at the time the strike
was called.
The strike was expected to hit
farmers growing perishable fruits
and vegetables particularly hard
Operations of the two truck lines
with headquarters in Bend were
completely halted around midnight
last night, and today both plants
were closed.
Affected lqcally by the strike
against three freight lines in 11
wesiern states are the Consolidat
ed Fiightways, representing one
of the ti'ree firms which have been
struck by the AFL Teamsters, and

cargo that was en route to Bend
from Chi' ago when the strike was
called w.ll be delivered under an
arrangrment between the AFL
Teamsters and the management,
Hugh K. Cole, local Teamster rep
resentative said.
In Bend and other northwest
points, it was believed that the
"pinch of the strike would not be
felt until about the first of the
coming week.

Several Stormy Issues
Mark Budget Meeting
By JACK LINO
Bulletin Staff Writer
Appointive members were out
voted repeatedly by city commis
sion last night as he budget com
mittee approved estimates of 10
departments of next year's budget
in its second meeting. There were
several stormy see saw discus
sions.
Four of the seven appointive
committee members snowed up
while five commissioners attended
the meeting. The two groups voted
differently en bloc on three contro
versial issues. With Walt Hanson,
an appointive member, holding thi
chair, the commissioners had tlieir
way on three 5-3 votes.
Budget estimates of six depart
ments including the recreation de
partment budget remain to be
studied and approved at the next
committee meeting scheduled for
Wednesday, May 2o. The approved
figures include the five per cent
pay hike for city and police de
partment employes and a merited
salary Increase for the library
staff.
The committee bogged down for
an hour-long discussion as soon as
it started with the first and con
troversial item: the airport budg
et. Appointive members were firm
that any further investment In the
deficit-running and "almost hope
less" airport was uncalled for.
"The airport is benefiting but a
handful of plane owners In the
community,'' one member said.
'We should stop maintaining the
airport at $200 a month to the city
especially when funds are as tight
as they are.
Jet Flight
Due in Skies
On Saturday
A flight af jet planes from the
U.S. Air Force base in Portland
will flash over Bend at 2.-05 Sat
urday afternoon at a height of 5,-
000 feet, to inagurate the lacal do-
servance of Armed Forces day,
Directly following the double
pass of the planes over Bend,
Mayor Hans SlagsVold will speak
briefly from an improvised plat
form in the Oregon National Guard
armory.
The local observance will be
confined to the . armory, where
there will be special displays, in
booths prepared by the armed
forces and veterans' groups. Dis
plays will include an artillery unit
from Redmond. Bend CO. I men
will be present to assist.
No civic parade is . planned
committees in charge said.
Similar observances will be held
in Prineville, Redmond and Bend.
Prineville will open Its program
with a gun salute, to be fired from
Viewpoint park, overlooking the
city from the west.
Armed Forces day has been pro
claimed by President Eisenhower,
and replaces the former Individual
observances by the . various
branches of the service.
In Bend, Armed Forces day will
mark the launching of a campaign
for volunteers to man the Eastern
Oregon filter center that will be
activated here on July 14.
Decision Delayed
By Subcommittee
WASHINGTON (UP)-A Senate
Interior . Subcommittee delayed a
decision today on a bill to auth
orize a 350 million dollar govern
ment dam in Hells Canyon on the
Snake River at the Idaho-Oregon
border. . .
Chairman Clinton P. Anderson
(D-NM) said the bill was port
poned to give subcommittee mem
bers a chance to study documents
submitted in previous public hear

Chancellor-Elect Visits
A prediction that students going
from Central Oregon college to
campusses at Corvallis and Eu
gene "will surprise a lot of peo
ple" was made in Bend Friday by
Dr. John R. Richards, chancellor
elect of the state system of higher
education.
Dr. Richards, who takes over
state's top educational post on
July 1. spent Thursday afternoon
and this morning making an in
formal inspection of Central Ore
gon college. He was accompanied
or his trip by Travis Cross, assis
tant to the chancellor.
Dr. Richards' prediction was
based, he said, on his observations
of the college, its students and its
program.
"Generally we find that people
attending afternoon -and evenuv

tenance worthwhile when so much
money has already been invested
n it and the only way is to keep
it up so that it may be sold at
a reasonable price, one commis
sioner stated. A 5-3 vote in favor
if the $2,265.02 airport budget end
ed the discussion.
The meeting bogged down the
second time when the non-departmental
budget was at issue. The
$900 item for league and conven-
Ion expenses was finally slashed
down to $500 with appointive mem
ers and commissioners favoring
the cut and City Manager Walter
Thompson defending the original
figure.
The committee avoided a vote
on the non-departmental estimates
which included the touchy and
most controversial issue of city
advertising via the chamber of
commerce. Appointive members
were strongly against Thompson's
recommendation for a cut of $500
from the $2,000 originally budgeted
as subsidy to the chamber for city
promotional advertisement.
The move to postpone a deci
sion on the total non-departmental
estimate was an attempt to pacify
the appointive members and to
find other possible cuts in the
budget to leave the advertising fig
ure intact.
Another Controversy
However, a third controversy de
veloped when the committee
reached the Item of employing an
additional worker for services of
parking meters. Appointive mem
bers urged for a part-time em
ploye whereas the commissioners
backed Thompson's recommenda
tion that a full-time man was ac
tually a money-making proposi
tion. The new employe, Thompson
said, would repair meters which
would brine in more revenue.
Another 5-3 vote was recorded
approving the new addition, which
Police Chief John Truett also supported.-
A provision was"aMt that
the new employe be m police uni
form and serve as police officer
in emergency situations.
The entire police department
budget was passed by a third 5-3
vote. Appointive members object
ed to the approval on grounds tnat
more time should be given to the
study of the need of a meter

At the beginning of the meeting,
Miss Eleanor F. Brown appealed
to the committee for a salary In
crease for her library staff. She
compared the pay scales of her
staff and other , library workers.
Miss Brown won her case in sal
ary but suffered a cut of $400 in
other Items. The library budget
was set at $15,005.
City Manager Thompson made a
list of recommendations of cuts be
fore any discussion got underway.
The cuts amounted to $4,715. He
also recommended that $258,853.24
taxes be levied Instead of $256,-
715.20 to have enough funds to
cover the salary increases. ,

PORTLAND (UP) One of the

The State Board of Health announced-
it had received assur

cine would be distributed as rap
idly as additional lots are approved
by the National Institutes of

The foundation said "there Is ev
ery reason to believe that suffi
cient vaccine will be available" be
fore the end o! next month.
Dr. Erickson said .most Oregon
counties planned to begin .inocu
