Waves Cast-up
2 Fishermen
Cobi Bay, Or., Sept. 24
Two fishermen, swallowed by
the sea but later cait onto shore
, north of here, recovered today
ilrom a boat wreck that claimed
the livai of two othen.
Both were exhausted, almost
incoherent, from the battering.
Yet one of them, Leo West,
'Medford. struggled to hii feet
and aomehow walked ten mllei
trying to get aid for th other
yesterday.
There were three cast up by
the waves, survivors of the fish-
Jing boat Ida M. the fourth,
Theodora Howe, Central Point,
Ore., presumably was lost at
sea.
Howe's brother, Ilgie, and
"Goby Laricks, also of Central
' Point, were dashed onto the
beach with West, who then
struggled to his feet and set out
lor help.
He reached the coast guard
station here, and, though dazed,
got rescuers started to the scene.
There they found Elgie Howe
had expired only minutes be
1 fore they arrived. Laricks had
disappeared. He turned up later
In a Coos Bay hotel, but was in
an exhausted sleep and could
not tell how he got there.
Friends believed he had hitch
hiked. The four set out in the Ida
M, owned by Frank Sprouse,
" Salem, three days ago. High
waves kept them from entering
harbor Wednesday night, and
they cruised offshore.
The coast guard believed the
engine conked out yesterday
morning, and the waves batter
ed the Ida M aground. The
boat was wrecked completely,
the crew swept away.

Maritime Strike
Deadlocked
San Francisco, Sept. 24
The Pacific coast maritime tie
up entered its third week today
with talk of renewing negotia
tions between employers and
one of th five striking unions.
The independent Marine Fire
men's union proposed in a let
ter to employer associations that
negotiations b resumed.
A spokesman for the shipping
industry replied that the fire
men's union had been "invited
to come in and negotiate as
soon as they can assure us they
can negotiate with the intention
of signing a contract."
But he added: "It. would be
no agreement at all if a contract
(with the firemen) were condi
tioned upon our agreement with
unions in control of communist
party line labor leaders."
President V. J. Malone of the
firemen pointed out that offic
ers of his union had filed non
communist affidavits under the
Taft-Hartley act.
He warned shipowners in the
letter that his union was pre
pared for a nine-month strike.

Files Protest
Karl Steiwer, member of the
courthouse building commission
from Jefferson, is not agreeable
to changing th position of the
new courthouse so it faces north,
the same as the state capitol, in
stead of to the west as now and
he wishes to "keep the back
door where it is now, looking at
the postoffice building." So he
expresses himself in a letter to
County Clerk Harlan Judd.
Steiwer is the first of the
members of the commission to
answer an inquiry as to their
preference as to the change,
Letters were sent to all of them
on suggestion of Pietro Bellus
chi, architect for the structure,
who said that a change of facing
north would allow them to put
big windows in the courtroom
on the north, considered the
most agreeable light. Belluschi
said also that the sit ia mor

"In addition to a new court
house they want to turn it to
the right, maybe to show the
court in a more favorable light,"
says Steiwer in his response.
"Better the lady holding the
scales should turn right rather
than left, but unless there are
good reasons I would prefer to
keep the back door where it is
now, looking at the post office
building. Of necessity there will
b many radical changes in the

Buenos Aires, Sept. 24 VPt
Th government said 12 persons,
Including three priests, were ar
rested today in an alleged plot
hatched by an American citi
zen to assassinate President Juan
D. Peron and his wife, Eva.
A police communique identi
fied John Griffith, former cul

In Montevideo, the newspaper

to foment a bank strike. He once
