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,

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.
