Milk Deliveries in Portland Resume as Armistice Declared Portland (U.R) Milk trucks were rolling here again today as the result of an armistice in the milk strike that halted deliv eries in the metropolitan area for three days. Markets reported large stocks of milk on hand and milkmen worked overtime delivering to milk-hungry homes. Meeting Gets Results A meeting of teamsters and dairy producers Saturday night called by Mayor Fred L. Peter son resulted in a decision to de liver milk while strike issues were threshed out by a fact find ing board. The still unresolved strike arose when union members de manded a voice in their working schedules and management ob jected that this was their right. The issue was complicated by the drivers' demand for lockout pay. Fact Finding Group The mayor said he would ap point two members to serve on the fact-finding committee with him, one approved by the driver's union and one by the' distrib utors. Three candidates have already been submitted by both sides. V The board would not negotiate, but would file its report within 60 days. The mayor said he i thought the findings of the com- mittee would be followed how- Monday, June 1,1131 held to determine the facts sur lounding the death of Symonds, United Press manager for South east Asia, May 13 after he was stoned and beaten by a rioting mob. Ask Full Inquiry The United Press retained counsei and asked for a full and fair inquiry into the facts of Sy monds' murder in the interests of protecting American foreign correspondents everywhere. The inquiry continues tomor row. Malayan taxicab driver Abdul Bin Ali, who drove Symonds to ihe" scene of the riot, described the initial assault on him. Ali told how he ran to the police for help. mentaltost-andm2tdFVee-c- TAO The police were at a road block approximately 300 yards from where Symonds was first attacked and approximately 200 yards from where he was final ly overwhelmed near a street light. The taxicab driver said he asked police at the road block twice to go to the. aid of Sy monds but got "no reply" from them. Crown counsel Harry Best Livingston in his opening state ment earlier said the pblice at the road block had orders to stay there and their only job was to report to headquarters. The taxicab driver also said when the police car left its origi nal road block position it drove down the street past Symonds. He said he rode down as far as Symonds on the running board and urged police to stop and help Symonds. He said they only halt ed for a second and told him to get off, then they continued on. The taxicab driver estimated it was "25 to 30 mihutes" be tween the time he first spoke to the police and the time two Chi nese in a van took Symonds to a hospital. California Sugar Plant Closed by 1,200-Man Strike Crockett, Calif. (U.R) The huge plant of the California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining Cor poration was closed today as the tesult of a strike called by 1200 members of the AFL Sugar Re finery Workers Union. The strike began Saturday at 8 a.m. when the company refused to meet union demands for a year-round operation, joint trust eeship of a company sponsored pension plan, inclusion of Easter Sunday as an eighth paid holiday and a S1000 company life insur ance policy for each member. Negotiations broke up Satur day at 5:30 a.m. in what a union official said was a "perfect dead lock." Actually, Saturday - marked the beginning of the plant's nor mal four - day shutdown. Hence, the real effects of the strike will not be felt until Wednesday, Nevertheless, the company be gan cleaning pipes and tanks last Wednesday in1 anticipation of the strike. Liquid sugar would sour and corrode the pipes and tanks if allowed to remain in them. It was the first strike in the union's 20-year history.- Four hundred longshoremen at C&H agreed not to cross the picket lines. Kooser Family Moving To Texas Mr. and Mrs. Eugene K.

When You Billy Graham Has 'Greatest Opening' In Paris Crusade Paris (U.R) American evan gelist Billy Graham seemed on his way toward capturing Paris, the city of sophisticated sin. The preacher from North Carolina began his continental crusade Sunday night before 9, 000 persons, 623 of whom made "decisions for Christ." Greatest Opening This caused one of his aides to term it the "greatest opening victory" Graham's preaching mission has ever had. Cliff Barrows said that al though there had been more "de cisions" at Wembley Stadium in London, the Paris opening was relatively more impressive be cause of the size of the audience and the language barrier. Graham spoke in English to the crowd gathered in the 20,-000-seat Palais Des Sports. His rapid-fire phrases were trans lated immediately into French by Franco-American Baptist min ister Jacques Blocher. Lost Little in Translation The fiery evangelist gesticu lated emphatically and often raised his Bible high for added effect. His message apparently lost little in the translation. Graham's first campaign will last throrigh this week. Posters all over the city have made his name familiar to Parisians, and interest has mounted. His aides had been worried about his reception in largely Roman Catholic France. But apparently- their fears had little foundation. Income of Americans Reaches NewRecord Washington (U.R) Personal income of Americans rose to a ne record rate of $295,600, 000f,000 a year in April contin uing an upward trend that tatt ed last November. - .
