British Newspaper Strike in 6th Day; Vorkers Warned London (U.R) The giant presses along London s newspa per row" were idled by the strike of mechanical and electrical em ployees for the sixth straight day today. Publishers warned 15,000 non-striking production workers of layoffs if the tieup continued. A spokesman for the Newspa per Proprietors' association said negotiations' between manage ment and the strikers still are deadlocked. Some 700 electri cians and maintenance workers walked out Friday, halting publi cation of morning, afternoon and Sunday newspapers. Two-Week Notices The spokesman said produc tion employees will be lopped off the payroll April 15 under two-week layoff notices if the newspapers are not back on the street by then. "We don't plan to issue notices to editorial and advertising men," he said. "They are not af fected by the dispute at present. Both the strikers and the Newspaper Proprietors' associa tion held separate meetings last night. Strike Committee Chair man George Tilbury announced the strikers "will be prepared to negotiate through any chan nel but we are not making the first move." Neither was the Publishers Association which had offered to submit the wage demands to ar bitration and to accept the find ings. The strikers rejected that offer.

March 30, 195S Morse Asks Investigation of BPA-Idaho Power Contract Washington U.P.) Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) asked to day for an investigation of a 20 year power exchange contract signed recently between the Bonneville Power administration in the Pacific Northwest and the Idaho Power company. He said it's possible the com pany could make a "financial killing at the expense of the taxpayers" under the contract. BPA is the government agency distributing power from Grand Coulee and other federal dams in the area. Morse's request was made in a letter to James E. Murray (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interior committee. The letter said in part: 300 To Take Part In Spring Concert A total of 300 Medford senior high school music students will combine their talents Friday evening for the school's annual Spring concert, according to I. A. Mirick, supervisor of instru mental music. Included on the program will be a 90-piece symphonic band, a 60-voice choir, a 60-piece sym phony orchestra, a 70-voice girls chorus, and a 24-voice male chorus. The program, scheduled to start at 8 p.m., will be held in the high school ''auditorium. There will be no reserved seats and tickets may be purchased at the high school office, from any music student, or at the door.

READY MEDFORD (OREGON) "The contract reportedly pro vides for the delivery of surplus power between BPA and the company and leaves to each par ty the determination of what amounts of power are to be de livered. In the nature of the case BPA would be delivering sum mer dump power at dump power rates, Morse said. "A careful examination would seem indicated into the question of the rates at which the com pany would resell the power and at what profit. If the Idaho Power company resells the dump power at firm power rates, it would be making a financial killing at the expense of the tax payers." Morse also said in the letter there is "fear that this deal is an attempt to fence off the east ern Oregon area from public power and a move to appropri ate, in advance for the Idaho Power company, the enormous benefits that could be anticipat ed from the low cost power of a federal Hells Canyon dam." oASHLANDo UNCENSORED!
