Picketing Halted
By Injunction
F. D. Van Sweringen, execu
tive secretary of the Salem
Building Trades council, said to
day that no strike order had
been used to induce employes of
other firms to refuse to handle
cement of the Vallev Concrete
company at Independence.
He said further that the union
had not interfered with con
struction of the Willamette river
bridge at Independence, a bridge
job near Monmouth, and a school
building at Dallas.
Van Sweringen said that a
picket line was thrown around ,
and that certain union opera
tors had voluntarily refused to
buy concrete from the company.
In Portland an injunction or
dering Salem area AFL unions
to stop interfering with a ce
ment firm at Independence was
sought by the NLRB.
NLRB Attorney Joseph Mach-
man said the Valley Concrete
company, has been the target
of union activity. He said AFL
Teamsters demanded recogni
tion by employes but had never
been certified as the agent for
the workers. He said strikes
and unfair lists were used to
induce employes of other firms
to refuse to handle the firm's
cement.
The unfair labor charge before
the NLRB was filed by the As
sociation of Cement Manufactur
ers, of which the Independence
company is a member. Federal
Judge Claude McColloch gave
the unions until November 22
to answer the NLRB injunction
petition.
Defendants, in addition to the
Trade and Labor council, are
the Building and Construction
Trades council of Salem and
AFL unions for teamsters, ce
ment workers and carpenters.
Van Sweringen said he had
been informed the Independence
bridge job was to halt this win
ter because of delay in receipt
of steel. He criticized Pat Blair,
a representative of an associa
tion of operators, and said that
if any other person had repre
sented them he didn't think the
trouble would have occurred.

Tito to Battle
(Continued from Page 1)
Socialism, Tito said, "is a real
ity in the Soviet Union we
know that. But we also know
that today the leadership of the
U.S.S.R. do not have the right
point of view on the further de
velopment of socialism in other
countries of the world."
Moscow's Literary Gazette
yesterday linked Tito's name
with opera star Milanov. It was
the bitterest personal attack to
date by the Russians on Tito.
Mme. Milanov, as she is
known to the American musical
public, is the wife of Maj. Gen.
Ljubomir Ilich, director of a
project to build a new city of
Belgrade where the Danube and
Sava rivers meet. They were
married in 1947 at the Yugo
slav embassy in Washington,
DC.

The president, a strong advo

repeatedly that when the time

But that is a long way offjeurrent strength is about 516,
he emphasized.
He said he determines when
there is a national emergency un
less congress declares one by re
solution.
The president said he does not
know whether he has power to
seize either industry.
He said he still hopes media
tion will succeed and collective
bargaining will work.
Ross said Mr. Truman author
ized him to say the president has
not discussed the strike situa
tion individually with any mem
ber of the cabinet.
The president may have men
tioned it at a cabinet meeting,
Ross said.
No Deadline Set
A cabinet officer told report
ers yesterday that the president
had decided to step in if the
strikes were not settled by this
week-end. He asked not to be
publicly identified by name.
Ross said the president has
kept abreast of the progress of
conciliation efforts through John
R. Steelman, his assistant, who
has been in touch with them
through Cyrus C h i n g, federal
mediation director.
The strikes are still in the
hands of the mediation service,
Ross emphasized.
Ross dictated this statement
to reporters:
White House Statement
"Any attribution to the presi
dent of any plan to intervene
the coal and steel strikes or to
fix a deadline on the effort to
reach a settlement through me
diation is entirely without war
rant. "This office has told you ev
ery day, in reply to questions,
the literal and exact truth of the
situation.
Obviously this office cannot
foreclose the possibility of ap
propriate action by the president
on any matter before him at any
time.
He 'may do anything that is
within his power to do. But it is
literally true that the strikes are
in the hands of the mediation
service at this time and the pre
sident is keeping hands off.
He is certainly not putting
out statements, directly or indi
rectly, that he is going to in
tervene. Incidentally, T am authoriz
ed by the president to say that
he has not discussed the present
strike situation with any mem
ber of the cabinet."

An army reduction already

ouster of Dcnfcld. He said no

mony "worth a pinch of salt"
from officers of the armed serv
ices if Denfeld is to get the axe.
Denfeld criticized high mili
tary policies as a witness at the
house group's hearings on dif
ferences among the armed serv
ices.
Rumors have circulated since
that he would be ousted from
the navy's top post and that
Vice Admiral Forrest T. Sher

Both the Washington post and
the Washington Evening Star

Sherman has been called to the

Sherman is now commander

He said the navy had kept
the dissenting officers from tes

hearings on the armed services'
row.
Denfeld and several other na
vy officers charged before the

that present Pentagon policies
are wrecking navy morale and

Widespread Manhunt on for
8 Dangerous Escaped Cons
Wilmington. Del., Oct. 27 &) A widespread manhunt was on
today for eight convicts who escaped from the New Castle county
prison with guns and ammunition taken from the jail arsenal.
The eight led by a 20-year-old life term prisoner made a dar
ing break through the prison's front gate last night after locking
up Ouard Captain Harry Har
rington and using another guard
as a shield.
A burst of machine gun fire
from a prison tower failed to
stop them.
Five of the escapees were re
ported to have boarded a Penn
svlvania railrn.iH frieht train ,
.... n -...iXU
uuuna tor neaaing, fa. two
otners lorced J. L. Eluotton, a
stationary store clerk, to drive
two blocks in his own car and
then shoved him out before
driving off.
The car was recovered sever
al hours later, abandoned in
Kennett Square, Pa.
State police established road
blocks throughout the Wilming
ton area and alerted authorities
of adjoining states to be on the
lookout for the men, described
as "dangerous."
Harrington's version of the
escape gave these details:
Shortly before 7 p. m. the pri
soners were taken back to their
cell blocks from the exercise
yard.
Danny Norris, 20-year-old life
termer convicted of slaying Wil
mington Detective Thomas Co-
naty on Christmas, 1947, asked
Harrington for an aspirin. The
convicts then jumped Harrington
and Guard Harry Beck.
The two guards were marched
to a cell and locked in. During
the scuffle, Beck sustained slight
head injuries when he was struck
with a window sash weight.
Leaving his companions hid
den behind a staircase, Norris
went to the door leading to the
main portion of the prison
building. He asked Guard Char
les Lynch to let him through to
get some papers from the print
ing shop where Norris worked.
As Lynch opened the door, he
was seized and marched past the
office of Warden Elwood H. Wil
son to the prison arsenal. There,
the convicts used Lynch's keys
to open the arsenal door and
took a quantity of guns and am
munition. Handcuffing Lynch, the men
marched in single file prison
fashion toward the gate house
with Lynch at the head of the
line, a pistol in his back.
One of the convicts pressed
the button controlling the elec
trically-operated gate and the
parade moved out into the open.
Sergeants Return
After 18 Years Away
Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Sergeant
after an absence of 32 years
have returned to Salem from the
San Francisco bay area to make
their permanent home here and
are situated at the Royal Court
apartments.
Mr. Sergeant was widely
known as a banker in Oregon
serving five years as state super
intendent of banks after he had
been three years vice president
of the old United States Nation
al bank when the late J. P. Rog
ers was president.
He removed to San Francis
co to become v ice president of
the federal reserve bank there
in charge of examinations and
held that post for 21 years be

years were spent at various

Acute Shortage
(Continued from Page 1
The shortage has just begun to
hit at the Fnstpr nlant in the. Inc.
. j '
nays.
The Far.iers Cooperative
Warehouse, second largest ship
per at Dallas, has been "behind
tne eight-ball all season," ac-
cording to M. M. Gilles. "We are
about 15 cars behind and can't
promise delivery to anyone," he
said.
Crisis "Pretty Sad"
In Salem the Western Paper
Converting company reports the ;
crisis as "pretty sad" and "very
serious." Orders for cars can't '
be filled in less than five days '
or a week, and adding to the
trouble is a shortage of trucks. ,
The company needs an average
of four cars a week. It thinks
the SP isn't buying enough '
equipment to keep up with the
need.
The canning industry isn't in
as serious a condition as lum- ,
ber and some other shippers.
Kelley, Farquhar company, '
which is doing a lot of shipping,
manages to get them all out by '
"watching ahead and putting up
a fight." It uses 10 or 12 cars
a week. Overall, it reports "a -
pretty good service from both ;
roads."
Hunt Food Products, Inc., re
ports the situation not critical '
now, but says there was a criti
cal period during the packing 1
season. The shortage is mainly
in box cars, not refrigerators, .
but there is trouble getting re
frigerator cars that are big ;
enough.
Southern Pacific freight men
locally say they don't know just
what causes the shortage. Grain
moving east and the cars not
coming back is one surmise. One
SP man says there is always a
shortage in fall, but this year it
seems to be worse than before.
That s the way the Friesen
Lumber & Supply company, 450
Wallace road, describes the car
situation.
We've been here 20 years."
the manager continued, "and it'i '
the worst it has ever been in
that time."
Worst in 20 Years
This company has 15 or 18 ,
carloads of finished material .
waiting for shipment, and no
cars. The main product is stock
for the furniture trade, with a
market all over the United
States. The company needs about
12 cars a week.
The Capitol Lumber company.
2860 Cherry avenue, describe!
the situation as "rough."
"We are usually fortunate be. "
cause we are on both the South
ern Pacific and the Oregon Elcc
trie. The OE seems to supply '
cars more readily ordinarily '
than the SP, but both are bad
now. We use from seven to 20 -,
cars a week, but are getting on
ly four or five now."
The mill turns out from 50,-
000 to 60,000 feet a day, or,
with the planer, about 150,000
feet. It believes there is some
thing wrong with the SP's car
exchange agreement with the
other roads.
Shy Since August
W. E. Hoffman, sales manag
er for the Teague Lumber com
pany, 355 North Liberty, says
"we have been plagued since
August 1 with a shortage not
only of box cars, but of open
cars. We expected relief by Oc
tober 1, but today the situation
seems as acute as at any time in
the last two months. We should
be shipping out over 3,000,000
feet a month, but that Is very
definitely curtailed. I have on
my desk an order that has been
waiting for a car since Septem
ber 12 Mills and wholesalers ire
terribly hurt by the situation."
W. F. Bush of Seattle, of the
Bush Bros. Lumber company,
which has an establishment nt
837 North Liberty, says the f.a
lem plnat is carrying a 30 or
35-car back order from Sep
tember that hasn't been fill
ed because of the car shortaije.
Wants Pressure Brought
Bush reports a "general feel
ing that pressure should be
brought on the Southern Pacif
ic to bring up its car inventory.
1 don't think the SP is unfair in
its distribution. It is just a plain
lack of cars."
He is inclined to think that
some mills are using car short
age as an alibi to avoid filling
small orders, and giving pref
erence to more Important ones.
