Chrysler Strike
Looms Tonight
Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 24
A nationwide strike tomorrow
by Chrysler corporation's 80,000
employes appeared inevitable
today.
The company rejected as "un
acceptable" yesterday the CIO
United Auto Workers "rock bot
tom" demand of a 10-cent hour
ly wage increase.
Union and company negotia
tors entered around-the-clock
negotiations at 9 a.m. (CST) to
day, exactly 24 hours before the
strike deadline in the 25 plants
of the world's third-ranking au
tomobile manufacturer.
President Walter P. Reuther
of the UAW said that the union's
demand of a 10-cent wage boost
was its "rock bottom" offer.
"Either Chrysler takes it or
we strike tomorrow," he said.
The union made its unexpect
ed proposal in a dramatic policy
change yesterday. It said the
plan would include six cents for
$100 monthly pensions and four
cents for welfare insurance, or
some other mutually agreeable
combination, or a flat 10-cent
wage hike.
Robert W. Conder, Chrysler
industrial relations director,
said the UAW proposal was "un
acceptable." He said that a def
inite cents-per-hour amount for
pensions was not necessary.
Labeling of Milk
Grades Urged
Eugene, Jan. 24 W) The Ore
gon Dairymen's association con
vention will vote today on a
proposal for statewide labeling
of butter content on all grade A
milk.
The dairy products promotion
committee resolution was aimed
at clarifying what Chairman
John I. Gale of Canby said was
a situation for which the dairy
men were being blamed. He said
some Oregon markets are get
ting 3.2 percent butterfat milk,
but the premium price is based
on 3.5 percent milk.
Gale said the distributors were
pocketing the extra profit and
that the dairymen and the con
sumers were suffering. He add
ed it was involved in the prob
lem of public relations with con
sumers. A new public relations com
mittee was to present other pro
posals to the 56th annual con
vention today after the opening
address of President Arthur Ire
land of Forest Grove. He was
expected to attack the lifting of
federal excise taxes on butter
substitutes, cattle disease con
trol and public relations prob
lems of the dairymen.
Herd improvement and dis
ease control are among the other
committees to submit reports to
day. Senator Wayne L. Morse (R
Ore) will be the principal speak
er at the banquet tonight.
Robinson Willing
To Drop Candidacy
Fred E. Robinson, who is a
candidate against United States
Senator Wayne Morse announc
ed Tuesday that if a "true re
publican" better known in the
state than he is, enters the race,
he would withdraw and support
such a candidate.
Robinson, who stopped brief
ly in Salem on his way to his
home in Mcdford, made it clear,
however, that he would remain
in the race until the end provid
ing no such candidate appears
and if some other "new dealer"
enters the race.
"My only purpose of entering
this race is to see that a good re
publican is nominated and elect
ed," Robinson said.

SANDS OF

W ilMfl -
Pacific Power
Deal Probed
Washington, Jan. 24 W
Counsel for the Pacific Power
and Light Co. of Portland, Ore.,
won the right today to cross-examine
a spokesman from Wall
Street firms seeking SEC per
mission to purchase control of
the utility.
An examiner for the securi
ties and exchange commission
ruled that J. A. Laing, counsel
for the Oregon company, could
cross-examine Donald Lissis of
Baer Stearnes, New York,
spokesman for a group of un
derwriters for the 500,000-share
deaL B. J. Van Ingen & Co.,
Inc., heads the syndicate.
Laing contended that plan of
purchase contemplated dismem
berment of the Pacific company.
Joseph L. Schriber, counsel for
the American Power and Light
Co., of which Pacific is a sub
sidiary, contended Laing should
not be permitted to cross exam
ine the witness. The SEC has
ordered American to divest it
self of Pacific, which opposes the
sale to the New York group.
Lissis testified the group of
underwriters has not present
plan to dispose of the Pacific,
property. I
He said that if public utility
districts sought to purchase any
part of the Pacific property he
did not see any reason for op
posing such a sale, but declared
the underwriting group has no
intention of selling any stock im
mediately. "I would be happy to sell the
stock to the public at a reason
able profit," he testified.

ners is Ralph Cake, republican

tonly and
maliciously"

2 High Schools
Top County's
Salem and Silverton high
schools have been rated Marion
county's two top high schools, as
far as adequate size and equip
ment is concerned, by Mrs. Ag
nes Booth, county school super
intendent.
All other high schools in the
county, Mrs. Booth said, require
new buildings or expansions of
their present buildings in order
to be rated fully adequate to
handle the number of students
now enrolled.
Mrs. Booth said the major
problem in most of the county's
high schools is their incapacity
to handle the steady increase in
number of students, created by
the population rise in the coun
ty. Several schools have already
started construction of new buil
dings. Aumsville and Turner
have united school districts and
the new building, situated out
side the limits of either town, is
nearing completion. Other build
ing programs are under way at
Stayton and North Marion
(Woodburn-Hubbard).
St. Paul, Detroit and Jeffer
son are working on projects
which may result in the con
struction of new high school
buildings.

I was revealed today.
The find was reported to a
house appropriations subcommit
tee by Interior Secretary Oscar
L. Chapman at a recent hearing.
His testimony was released to
day. The matter came up during a
private discussion of the nation's
prospective oil supplies. Chap
man said there have been some
snotiminnr disenvpriM but nothing
"to keep pace with the demands
of oil consumers."
Asked about foreign supplies,
he said:
"There is a Canadian develop
ment of oil that you will hear
more about a little later on that
is very important.

Sausage Poisoned
For Dogs Found
Irvin Ward, Marion county
dog license enforcement officer,
reiterated his warnings to Keiz
er area parents today to be alert
ed to the danger of a crank dog
poisoner.
His new warning came after a
small skinless wiener, loaded
with poison, was found in front
of a church at 840 Churchdale
avenue by Rev. Lee Wiens.
Ward quoted the pastor as be
ing afraid some children might
have innocently picked up the
meat and fallen victim to the
crank whose fiendish operations
have killed a half dozen pets.
The poisoned wiener was
found shortly before children
were due to arrive for Sunday
school, Ward said.

More Access
Roads Needed
Washington, Jan. 24 Wj The
bureau of land management
asked the house subcommittee
on interior department appropri
ations for $1,200,000 to build
access roads in the Oregon and
California revested railroad
grant lands in the year starting
July 1.
The request was contained in
the testimony of Marion Claw-
son, director of the bureau,
which was made public today.
Clawson said that by build
ing access roads the government
would be able to get better of
fers for the timber on the lands
because smaller companies
would be able to bid for it.
Clawson said there is much
over-mature timber on the O
and C lands but lack of roads
makes it impossible to sell it on
a sustained yield basis. He said
building the roads would in
crease the value of the timber
by at least the cost of the roads

Indonesian Rai
Due to Mutiny
Jakarta (Batavia), V. S. L,
Jan. 24 UP A top Indonesian
military chief today blamed a
sudden guerrilla raid into the
city of Bandoeng on a "mutiny"
of native soldiers in the Dutch
army.
About 600 armed fighters
from the so-called private army
of an outlawed former Dutch
army captain seized key points
in the big west Java city yester
day morning, but withdrew later
in the day after blooay light
ing. A Dutch army spokesman said
a Dutch general at Bandoeng.
120 miles southeast of Jakarta,
had persuaded the guerrilla
raiders to withdraw to avoid fur
ther bloodshed. Sixty Indone
sian army soldiers, including
three high ranking officers, were
reported killed in the fighting
as guerrillas took over most of
the city.
The Dutch army spokesman
conceded that 300 Indonesian
soldiers enrolled i nthe Dutch
soldiers enrolled in the Dutch

upang, acting chief of staff of
the U. S. I. army, that the raid
ers were "mainly from the Dutch
army " I
It was evident the flareup in-,
volving the Dutch army at Ban-!
doeng seriously blasted the.
bridge of friendship carefully
built between the two countries;
in independence negotiations.
An official U. S. I. communi-l
que today said the situation in
West Java was still "troubled
and confusing."

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt planned
to fly today to Ann Arbor, Mich.,
after a United Nations speech
and interviews by Portland's
leading newspapermen.
Snow made the exact hour of
