In the Salem area, a home with a present cost of $27.70 for gas, would realize a monthly reduction of about $5.24, or approximately 19 per cent. Next in line to share the resi dential cuts will be those on com bination service who use gas for cooking and have one or more of these appliances in addition, auto matic water heater, refrigerator, or space heater in the kitchen. On this schedule, Phone Firm Sale Hearing WOODBURN A public hearing on the proposed sale of the G. F. Wright Telephone Co. of Woodburn to Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. has been set for Monday, March 20, starting at 10:. Ill a.m. at the Woodburn city hall. Also to be considered is a pro posed increase for Wright sub- scibcrs to those of the Pacific Telephone nnd Telegraph Co. for suburban customers. The hearing was called by the public utilities commissioner, Charles II. Hcltzel, following an application for the sale. The P. T. & T. Co. also requested authority to build additional lines in order to furnish telephone scr- i PITTSBURGH Plant Guard Gust Luffey, left, checks five returning employes through the gates of the East Pittsburgh works of Westinghouse Electric Corp. this morning as the men, unidentified returned to their jobs for the first time since the beginning of a strike last Oct. 17.

On such a , ""' wie upinuMiiiaieiy m pie hill the reduction will he about 35 sent siibscibcrs of the Wright Co, cciits, or a little above 5.R per j and lo' furnish service to approxi- ccnt. The ratio of cuts will rise as consumption rises. The minimum monthly charge will remain at $3.:i0, if the rale schedule filed is approved by the commissioner. The minimum charge covers the first nine therms. Succeeding blocks drop off rapidly.. The next 51 therns will be priced at 16 cents, and all additional will be at 11 cents Present rales arc 20.5 cents on 25 therms, after the minimum of '$:U0 for the first nine, then 15.3 cents on the remainder. Company officials said the heating customer may dd all of the other gas np pliances on I lie sumo seneuuic getting additional gas for 211 per cent less than the company's best previous rate for industry. IFor the home user wiiose only cn.i appliance is an automatic wa ler heater or a refrigerator or for one who has both, but not gas cooking or heating, the rates in the proposed schedule will be un changed with the $1.80 minimum per month for six therms and 19.5 cents for each additional therm. The company explained rates in this category were believed to be already in line with the pattern worked out for the start of natural gas usage. New proposed schedule for mul tiple family dwellings such as apartments and motels, and com mercial firms have been designed with a view of promoting multiple uses of the piped fuel, the com pany's statement said. Primary rales for apartments nnd motels served through a single meter will be reduced slightly, and the secondary rate, which would apply mostly to heating, will be cut sharply from 15.3 per therm at present lo 11 cents. The 142 customers in this cate gory, who depend solely on gas for heating, will receive rate slashes averaging more than 14 per cent in the Willamette Valley, bascl on present bills. Inasmuch as virtually no indus tries in the valley use gas, com pany officials said that after natur al gas is piped into the valley malely 150 prospective customers in the Woodburn-llubbard area. Wright purchased the linos and equipment fur the area in which he operates from the Pacific Tele phone ti Telegraph Co. in 1926. Officer Hears Labor Dispute A hearing officer of the National Labor Relations commission was hearing evidence Wednesday on a controversy between the Valley Motor company and the Auto Me chanics union. Representatives of the company have petitioned for recognition of a company union while the me chanics arc endeavoring to have its union declared the bargaining agency. The hearing is being held in Room 321 State Capitol. PITTSBURGH W Lunch buck ets swinging jauntily, the ad vance guard of Westinghouse Elec tric Corp. workmen came back to their jobs Wednesday after 156 days of striking Talking with reporters at the plant gates, the men were all but unanimous in saying "glad to be back. That came from a picket cap tain who said he "wore out two pairs of shoes on the line" and a welder who said this had to be the last week of the strike for him, even if it mean giving up 15 years Westinghouse seniority. Only a few men were recalled Wednesday at the East Pittsburgh works, biggest Westinghouso plant with a normal payroll of some 10, 000. Their jobs will be getting the Westinghouse (Continued from Page 1) field, Mass., Mctuchcn, Bloom field, Belleville and Trenton, N.J., Fairmont, W.Va.: Elmira, N. Y.; and Mansfield and Columbus, Ohio. v The bulk elf the 44,000 strikers represented by 1UE are expect ed to be on the job again in plant ready for production of heavy electrical equipment. The company said that may require several weeks, although full opera tions will come much more quick ly than that at some other plants in the Westinghouse system. The 44,000 members of the AFL-CIO International Union of Electrical Workers have missed many paydays. Among them were those in Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's weeks. "Now maybe I can buy some Easter candy for the kids," said Albert Morris of Buffalo when he heard last night that the union had ended its 15G-day strike. Morris' comment just about summed up the way the 1UE rank and file felt. There was no danc ing the streets. But pickets hap pily tore up their shanties and set a few of them afire. Some IUE members gathered at their union halls. A few visited taverns afterward. But most stayed home and made plans to settle their debts and have a hap py Easter. In Pittsburgh, Joe Laird, finan cial secretary for Local 001, voiced the reaction of mos, union offi cials when he said: "It's wonderful news. ....

He called an afternoon news con ference, where he was expected to repeat his determination lo keep iigming through the California, Florida, Pennsylvania and Illinois primaries. n Washington, however, politi cal observers said Stevenson will have to pull a political miracle to get the nomination now that he has failed in Minnesota.

The strike, started in mid-Octo ber, delayed by nearly half a year introduction of the 1950 line of Westinghouse products. For that reason, the company now expects to step up output "considerably beyond prcstrikc levels at all con sumer product plants." A strike of nearly 10,000 West inghouse workers represented by another union, the independent United Electrical Workers !UE. will continue pending a separate settlement. But an early agree ment was expected, based on the IUE terms. James B. Carey, IUK president, claimed the winter-long strike was a "superb and historic struggle" that he said won the workers gains they wouldn't have obtained otherwise. Westinghouse Vice President Robert 1) .Blasier said the company had won what it started out to get a five-year contract and lee way to shift pay and work sys tems to meet changing conditions in the fast-growing electrical in dustry. Blasier avoided argument or which side won or lost. He said it was "now vital that bitterness and recrimination be forgotten" and that everybody pitch in to "maintain our position as a 'lead er in the electrical manufacturing industry." A basic issue in the strike was company insistence on a right to shift pay and production methods to maintain efficiency. This right the company won But the IUE obtained safeguards aimed at preventing individual employes from losing pay or work opportunity. Mil nam (Continued trom Page 1) Folk' ants have lost a primary or two, then reversed the field and gone to capture the nomination. Thomas E. Dewey did it for the GOP in 1948. " To underscore the obvious, Ke- fauver's political star glows far moit brightly. Republicans have more reason than ever to worry about that farm vote, which helped elect President Truman and the Democrats in 1948 and President Eisenhower in 1952. Stevenson outbid the GOP for farm , support. But Kefauver out bid Stevenson by holding out to the small farmer, at least, hopes ol 100 per cent of parity price sup ports for his basic products. Ste venson offered no more than 90 per cent. The personal element was in volved too in Kefauver's trcmen dous and not entirely unexpected showing in small towns and farm ing regions. It probably had an effect, perhaps to a lesser degree, ill cities. There might be a lesson in it for Stevenson, Both candidates campaigned hard. But for the most part Stevenson whisked in, made his speech in the beautifully worded, precise, sharp-witted style that is all his own, then whisked out. He didn't find much time for handshaking and mingling. The lanky senator chatted away in easy-going, relaxed, down-to-earth fashion. He mingled. He pumped every hand within easy reach and stretched for those that Grand Jury Gets Birthday Bandits Two young men charged with robbing 12 women at a birthday party at Marion recently were bound over to the Marion County grand jury Tuesday after a hear ing in District Court. LuVerne Francis Truitt, 4115 Fit bcrt street, and Earl Eldon Lane, 633 Ferry street, are specifically charged with the robbery of Mrs. Glen Gentry, who lost over $40 when the shotgun-brandishing pair entered the Earl Huber home. The two collected the money the wo men had and fled with it and the birthday presents that were to be distributed at the party. They were arrested the follow ing day by state police and sher iff's officers.
