A unique expedition, mission aries, children and salty sea men, will sail for the dark con tinent aboard the vessel, a con verted warship.

Tacoma Paper Again Struck Tacoma W) The Tacoma News Tribune, preparing to re sume publication after a 14-week AFL pressmen s strike, was struck again Sunday by some 70 CIO American Newspaper Guildsmen. The Guild struck, Howard Clifford, unit chairman, said, not over wages but over "man agement's refusal to bargain with the Guild for departments the union had represented in the past." The Guild strike vote was taken Saturday and pickets were posted around the Tribune build ing Sunday. The Guild strike came hard on the heels of an end to the pressmen's strike, which had left this city of 143,000 without a daily newspaper since April 12. The pressmen voted Friday night to accept management's offer of a 12 'i cent hourly wage increase, to $3 an hour. The pressmen stated, however, they would return to work only when contract differences between the Tribune and five other unions, the Guild and AFL Teamsters. Stereotypers, Typographical and Mailers, were settled. The typographical workers voted Sunday to reject manage ment's latest offer in their con tract renewal negotiations but failed to take strike action. Clifford said the Guild's dis pute was over the Tribune's re fusal to recognize the Guild as bargaining agent for inside cir culation and display advertising personnel, who had been covered by previous Guild contracts. George F. Russell, Tribune business manager, maintained there were not enough Guild members in the two departments for the Guild to continue repre senting them. He said no further negotiating sessions have been scheduled. In the Himalaya Mountains birds exist on dead grasses blown among the rocks and lichens growing on stone. . Ci,,,. UM.-r.

Counties Seek Half of O&C Portland W) A Congressional subcommittee Saturday was told that Oregon counties are entitled to at least half the revenue from Oregon and California revested) lands. The Association of O li C Counties told the committee that the counties are making large outlays to maintain roads which trucks, hauling O&C logs, are using. The counties now are supposed to receive 75 per cent of the in come. But some congressmen have objected and part of the funds have been held back in recent years. Rep.
