FUN IN A FORT ON THE DESCHUTES This is a scene at Bryna Productions fort on the upper Deschutes earlier this week as
square dancers, all from Central Oregon, worked under the lens of Hollywood movie makers. Out of place in the setting, but not
within range of the camera lens was the big white bus at the left. The stockade, part of which is visible here, is a replica of a
western fort of frohtier days. Calling for the square dancers was George Churchill, Bend. (Bend Bulletin Photo)
Approval Given
County Budget
By Committee
By JACK I ASH
Bulletin Staff Writer
The Deschutes cpunty budget
committee last night approved a
$933,804.79 budget for 1955-56 which
included the controversial $4,010.00
fund for the Redmond branch of
the county library system.
The actual amount of taxes to
be levied for the new budget is
$:!71,726.04, which is precisely six
per cent over last year's levy and
the maximum amount of increase
, without an election. This is the
lith consecutive year the county
budget has remained within the
six ikt cent increase.
The budget will be advertised
and given a public hearing, lenta
tively June 30. before it becomes
final.
Redmond Only
The original county budget esti
mates gave the Redmond library
only $2,160.00, but the city of Ked
mond set aside $4,010.00 for the
library and asked the county to
match the amount. The budget
committee, in granting the
crease, stipulated that the $4,-
010.00 is earmarked for the Red'
mnnd branch only.
There were some doubts among
budget committee members as to
the technical administration of li
brary funds by the library board
which might employ the funds as
it sees fit. The stipulation was
made to clarify the uses of the
funds specifically allocated for the
Redmond branch.
Miss Eleanor F. Brown, county
librarian, has stated that she
would not favor any increase for:
the Redmond branch without 'an
overall revision of the county li
brary budget. She is out of town
ami not available for comment on
the county budget committee's de

Faint Hope Held
In Rail Strike
LONDON (UP) Britain's strik
ing railway firemen and engineers
today accepted a labor-drafted ne
gotiating formula giving the first
faint hopes for ending their dis
astrous 10-day walkout.
The five-point peace formula was
drafted yesterday, by the Trades
Union Congress, the eight million
member parent labor organization
roughly comparable to the Ameri
can CIO-AFL.
The striking Associated Society
of Locomotive Engineers and Fire
men announced today that it has
entered talks based on the TUC
plan. "- "
The proposed compromise would
reopen wage negotiations with the
British Transport Commission
"while the strike is still on."
Prime Minister Anthony Eden's
government and the Transport
Commission which operates the na
tionalized railways, so far have re
fused to negotiate until the more
than 70,000 striking engineers and
firemen return to work.
The strike snarling Britain's rail
ways and docks today hit thou
sands of American tourists with
ocean liner tie-ups. The mighty
queens of the Cunard line were in
danger of becoming involved.

Ike Warns
Against Any
Miracle Cures
By MKKKIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
WEST POINT, N.Y. tUP
President Eisenhower today
warned the world against "fatuous
expectations" that the Big Four
'summit" meeting will produce
miraculous cures for warlike ten
sions between the West and the
Russians.
Speaking at the graduation of
469 men of the U.S. Military Aca
demy, the Chief Executive dealt
briefly, but pointedly with his
forthcoming meeting with the state
heads of Britain, France and the
Soviet Union.
Details of the meeting have not
been decided, but American diplo
mats forecast a meeting at "the
summit" in Switzerland in mid
July. The American government
was awaiting a Russian reply to
the suggestion of a meeting at
Geneva.
Mr. Eisenhower said the Big
Four meeting might result "in long
series of conferences." He did not
specify the level. But he warned
the public not to expect too much
from the conference next month.
He said that while this country
had reason fur confidence, there
remained a need for caution and
wisdom in international affairs
'the wisdom and the caution that
wisdom enforces at the confer
ence table itself, In the halls of
government, In every place of
business and in every home . . . "
Dr Fliies "Caution"
Then the President proceeded to
define his use of the word "cau-!
tion" as applied to world affairs
today:
"By caution, Imean: A prudent
guard against fatuous expectations
that wrodl, sick with ignorance,
mutual fears and hutes, can be
miraculously cured by a single
meeting."
To the contrary, he said a Big1
Four meeting called for "a stem
determl nation that we shall not be
reckless and witless, relaxing our
position merely because a persist
ent foe may assume a smiling face
and a soft voice.
Belli nd this statement appeared
to be several recent developments:
1. The friendly attitude of the
Russian leadership in recent talks
with the Yugoslavs.
2. The minor furore caused by
a recent assertion by Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon that the
future hopes for a peaceful world
might well depend on the upcom
ing Big Four meeting with little
chance of another "summit" par
ley should the meeting flop.
Mr. Eisenhower, openly mindful
of public examination of motives
for a Big Four conference, called
for "a calm awareness that
strength at home, strength in allies
strength in moral position, arm us
in impregnable fashion to meet
every wile and strategem that may
be used against us."
Speaks on Field House
The President, speaking in the
huge academy field house and ap
pearing before the nationwide pub
lic on his first color telecast,
pledged himself to the exploration
of "every decent avenue toward a
lasting and just peace, No matter
how many and bitter our disap
pointments."

Faced by Twin
Strike Threat
By KEY W. BKUNR
United lres Staff Correspondent
DETROIT (UP) The CIO
United Auto Workers and the CIO
Electrical Workers pressed a twin
strike threat today to try to force
General Motors into extending the
new guaranteed pay plan to 385,-
000 GM workers by midnight.
General Motors' contracts cover
ing 350.000 auto workers and 35,000
electrical workers run out at mid
night. The two unions threatened
strike action unless settlements
were reached.
Some GM workers, impatient for
settlement, walked off their
jobs last night and this morning.
About 3500 workers at the Chev
rolet Power-Glide plant In Cleve
land staged what they culled a
"pre-contract settlement" strike.
They passed out handbills which
said "we're unauthorized but im
patient." The walkout in Cleveland
started on the midnight shift when
70 workers left their jobs.

CIO President Walter Reuther
was expected to enter the talks
with GM in an effort to make the
Ford settlement reached Monday,
or something similar but better, a
model for the auto industry.
The union's contract with Gener
al Motors expires at midnight to
night but the union has set no
strike deadline, indicating the talks
may be extended to give negotia
tors more time to hammer out an
agreement.
The talks were scheduled to be
recessed In time to allow union
representatives to meet with the
UAW's 300 -member GM council
later today.
The council meeting, the third
since talks started with, GM early
in April, was designed to work out
strategy changes necessitated by
the Ford settlement and to report
on the progress of the talks.
John Livingston, director of the
UAW's General Motors Depart
ment, sounded the keynote for the
GM talks after the union obtained
a new contract calling for a guar
anteed wage from Ford.
"GM Can Afford It"
I don't see any reason why we
can't do better than they did at
Ford," he said. "General Motors
certainly can afford it."
The union switched its attenttn
to GM immediately after reaching
the Ford agreement.
Ford's approval of the new con
tract was its most dramatic move
in the lubor relations field since the
company, startled the Industrial
world with a $5-a-day wage In the
days of the tin lizzy.
Settlement of the contract dis
pute with Ford automatically sig
naled the end of a strike which
hit 37 of the company's 57 plants.
Reuther sent telegrams to the
strikers telling them to get back
to . work in plunts .across . the
country.
Sporadic wulkouts wliieh contin
ued after the settlement in some
parts of the nation were expected
to end after details of the new
company-union net dement had a
chnnce to circulate.
The hold-over strikes were at
Kansas City, where some 3,000
union members remained oft the
job, and at the huge Rouge plant
in suburban Dearborn where aev
era! hundred tool and die makers
refused to return to work.
Both Ford and the union ugreed
(hat their now three-year contract,
which contains a "guaranteed semi.
annual wage," might usher In a
new era of labor relations for
workingmen across the land, espe
cially if the union Is successful in
attempts to win similar settle
ments from GM and other auto
producers.
Reuther estimated the "pack
age"' value of the new contract at
20 cents an hour per worker.

semi-annual wage," it contained
