our citizens of tomorrow is
noble service to our way of life
the mayor stated.
'America s youth will guard
our heritage of freedom and
defend and preserve the demo
cratic way of life which has
made the United States the land
of opportunity and hope for all
mankind," Mayor Flynn s proc
lamation continued. "We, as
Americans, should support a
program to deliberately counter
act all subversive propaganda by
rallying America s youth to pay
tribute to the free institutions
which have made this nation
powerful, progressive and
happy.
Both Norris and Mayor Flynn
pointed to the connotation which
Communists throughout the
world have placed on May day.
The day is used by "subversives
for noisy demonstrations for
Communism's philosphy of regi
mentation, dictatorship and the
destruction of human rights,"
they said. They stated that the
American people must inspire
and encourage American youth
to continue and increase our
liberties.
Awards will also be given to
winners in a Most Valuable Stu
dent contest. They are Roy Rog
ers, Medford, first; Neil Richard
son, Crater, second; Sue Harris,
Medford, third, and Shirley Edi
son, Crater, fourth.
Music for the program will
be provided by the Medford high
school orchestra. Parents of stu
dents and the public are invited
to attend.

No Clock Change; Earlier
Work IKIouir Recommended!
Businesses, Mayor
Approve 'Summer
Working Hour' Plan
Residents Asked
For Cooperation
Clocks will stay the same in
Medford, but most working
hours will begin earlier, it was
generally agreed by representa
tive businessmen and the city
administration today.
Mayor Diamond L. Flynn, sup- j
ported Dy a committee repre
senting most business interests,
recommended that "Summer
Working Hours" be generally
adopted throughout the city and
county.
Under this plan, clocks will
remain on Pacific standard time,
and stores and businesses will
open one hour earlier in the
morning and will close one hour
earlier in the evening.
Plan Now Working
It is the plan which most re
tail stores in the city are now
following, and at this morning's
meeting, businessmen, utility
Salem (U.R) Lester Wll
sox, assistant superintendent
public instruction for Oregon,
said Wednesday his office was
advising school districts
throughout the state to remain
on standard time.
"However," he said, "we
are pointing out that school
boards have the authority to
fix time for opening and clos
ing of the schools.
spokesmen, radio station repre
sentatives, labor leaders and oth
ers voted to support the mayor
in his recommendation of the
'Summer Working Hours."
After the meeting, Mayor
Flynn said he is asking the resi
dents to cooperate in the plan,
which he feels is the best possi
ble compromise between the
business necessity of conforming
to daylight saving time areas,
the desire of the majority of res
idents to leave the clocks alone,
and conformity with state law.
Majority Vote Cited
He reminded those attending
the meeting this morning that a
majority of county residents two
years ago voted against daylight
saving time, and stated the city
feels an obligation to the rest of
the county to observe that deci
sion. However, business require
ments, involving coordination
with markets for businessmen
and timing of radio network
broadcasts, makes it desirable
that working hours conform, he
said. He added that he feels the
city should assume leadership in
the matter.
The mayor will broadcast a
statement regarding his recom
mendation over radio stations
KYJC (1230 kc) and KMED
(1400 kc) at 5:15 p.m. today.
City employees will begin ob
serving earlier working hours
tomorrow, although the open
hours of the city hall will stay
unchanged, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They
had Voted about 80 per cent in
favor of the change. City coun
cilmen last night indicated they
had no objection to the changed
working hours, and City Super
intendent Robert A. Duff said
today that the new "Summer
Working Hours" will be observ
ed by city employees beginning
tomorrow.
Hopes No Mora Confusion
The mayor concluded by say
ing he hopes his recommenda
tions will be followed, and that
with the clocks staying the same,
the confusion will be eliminated.
Among those which have indi
cated they will, or probably will
observe "Summer Working
Hours" will be virtually all

chain stores, lumber retail mcr

ent, will not change their hours.

Self-Designated Bank
Make Full Confession
Topeka, Kan. An unidentified man who says
he robbed the Hoyt, Kan., State Bank four years
ago wants to "get right with God" and will make
a public confession at a Topeka church Sunday.
A sheriff with a wire recorder will be in the
congregation. The mystery man faces almost cer
tain arrest and prosecution.
Authorities Won't Stop Confession
But the minister, through whom the self-designated
bank robber has arrange to "make full
restitution," said Wednesday the expected pres
ence of Jackson Lounty bhentf truest white
and County Attorney Donald Sands of Holton,
Kan., in the church Sunday will make no dif
ference. The public confession will go off as
planned.
The youthful bank robber apparently already
has begun monetary restitution of his share of
nearly $1,000 which three men scooped up at
the Hoyt bank May 17, 1948.
Flights Resumed
Over Russia Zone
Following Incident
Berlin (U.R) The Western
resumed flights over the Soviet
zone of Germany between Berlin
and the west Wednesday despite
a Soviet fighter plane attack on
an Air France airliner.
Air France. Pan American
Airways, British European Air
ways and the Allied armies flew
all . regularljv scheduled -trips
along the three prescribed air
corridors over the Soviet zone.
The commercial flights were
suspended temporarily Tuesday
after two Soviet MIG jet fighters
riddled a Berlin - bound Air
France DC-4 with bullets and
shell fragments, wounding two
German passengers seriously and
a crew member slightly.
Each side blamed the other
for the attack, which Western
officials said occurred some 75
miles southwest of Berlin in the
four power - approved Berlin-
Frankfurt air corridor.

eral other towns on DST, the
telephone time signal will have
to go along. The equipment will
not broadcast both times. He
pointed out, however, that if the
situation is thoroughly under

one hour from the time given by
the signal will give the correct
time here.)
Portland (U.R) Thousands
of Portlanders went to work an
hour earlier than usual Wednes
day as the city went on day
light time at 2:01 a.m. despite
the declaration of Gov. Douglas
McKay that Oregon as a whole
will remain on standard time.
Thousands of Portlanders who
went to work on fast time had
to wait impatiently for buses
because the traction company
still was observing standard
time. .
The Portland City Council
Tuesday approved a proclama
tion establishing fast time and
other Oregon and Southwestern
Washington cities began steps
to keep in swing with the Ore
gon metropolis.
Opponents Consult
But no sooner had the council
approved the proclamation than
opponents of fast time started
consulting their attorneys.
Elmer McClure, master of the
Oregon State Grange, called a
meeting of the executive com
mittee to determine what action
the Grange will take. He said
he had asked the lawyers of the
farmers' group to determine
whether the action of the city
has the force of law or is merely
an expression of opinion.

The Red Blanket strike was
settled at a negotiation meeting
yesterday afternoon, after a pro
posed contract had been re
worded to the satisfaction of
both company and union.
ISO Still Out
About 150 employes of Med
ford corporation remained on
strike here, however, and pickets
still were on duty at the ap
proaches to the Medford plant.
The CIO striking workers are
woods and railroad employees.
AFL employees at the sawmill
reported for work as usual, ac
cording to B. L. Nutting, Medco

SOME BACK TCTWORK
Portland, Ore. (U.R) A union
approved back-to-work move

was reported Wednesday as a
strike of 40,000 CIO woodwork
ers went Into Its second day in
five Pacific Northwest states.
The walkout affected more
than 700 operations, union offic
ials said, although the huge
Weyerhaeuser Timber Com
pany's 8.000 employes who sign
ed an agreement with the union
earlier, were out on strike.
Starts Tuesday
The strike started Tuesday
when negotiations broke down
over the union's demand for an
increased employer contribution
to a health and welfare program.
The union .sked for nine cents
an hour contribution instead ol
seven and one-half cents.
Although about 700 opera
tions were shut down by the
strike, picketing was not exten
sive. The walkout did not tie up
the Northwest's lumber indus
try because many mill and log
ging operations have employes
who belong to other unions.

Most of Nation's
Production Halted
By Strike Order
Automobiles Stoned;
Workers Jostled
Washington flJ.R) The
Housa Armed Services Com
mittee Wednesday scheduled
"Immediate" hearings on a bill
to let the federal courts enjoin
the steel strike and, if neces
sary, operate the mills indef
initely under a receivership.
Pittsburgh (OR) Angry CIO
United Steelworkers walked out
across the nation Wednesday,
cutting off 95 per cent of the
country's steel production.
Violence was reported in the
Pittsburgh area as union pickets
closed the plans following CIO
President Philip Murray's "cease
work order.
Automobiles Stoned
Automobiles leaving plants in
the mill -studded Monongahela
river valley were stoned. Work
ers on foot were jostled. The
union sent sound trucks into the
streets to help police restore
order.
At U. S. Steel's Clalrton plant,
500 men gathered at the gates to
hurl epithets and stones. Several
cars were damaged. A union sec
tion leader, accused of failing to
spread the walkout order, had to
be rescued from the mob by
plant police.
Supervisor Held Out
At Duqucsne, Pa., even top
ranking supervisors were denied
entrance to the U.S. Steel plant
there. At McKeesport, pickets
blocked the entrance of the Na
tional Tube Co., refusing to per
mit cars to drive through. The
machines finally edged through
the crowd with the men pound
ing on their sides with their fists.
However, industry officials
said the process of closing the
mills was proceeding in an or
derly fashion. The union fol
lowed its custom of permitting
some men to aid In the cooling
and banking of furnaces to pre
vent damage.
Confusion Results
An exception was at Steuben
ville, O., plant of Wheeling Steel
Corp. "Confusion" resulting from
the suddenness of the walkout
order interfered with the shut
down procedure. Officials said
they . had not ' determined- the
"extent of the damage," to coke
ovens, open hearths and blast
furnaces.
The walkout, which followed
a Federal Court order holding
the government's seizure of. the
mills unconstitutional, will cost
the nation 300,000 ingot tons of
steel a day.
Washington (U.R) The gov
ernment said Wednesday It
would take legal action against
striking steelworkers who do
not return to work if the courts
would reinstate federal posses
sion of the steel Industry.
Attorney General Holes Bald
ridge made the statement as the
government argued before the
U. S. Court of Appeals for an
order to keep steel mills in gov
ernment possession until the
Supreme Court can rule on the
legality of President Truman'a
seizure.
Federal Judge David A. Pine
signed an order formally re
turning the strike-idled mills to
private ownership. He refused
the government's request to hold
up his order.
