Feder al Conciliator John Fenton said he hoped today's negotiation be tween AFL Teamsters and rep resentatives of long-haul truck ing firms in 11 Western states would be the "grand finale" in the 21-day-old strike. Fenton, who has indicated a settlement in the crippling strike is "in sight" said last night after a marathon negotia ting session of nearly 14 hours that "a few issues remain to be settled " Fenton would not predict a settlement time, however, re peating only his previous state ment that "most basic issues, in the dispute had been settled Neither union nor trucking of ficials would comment on cur rent negotiations. The teamsters called the strike against three trucking industry firms here May 19, , prompting an industry-wide shutdown in California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, New Mex ico, West Texas, Nevada, Col rado and Wyoming. The union asked for an im mediate 10-cent hourly pay in crease with increases of eight cents more in each of the next two years. Negotiations began last Thurs day, lasting at least 12 hours a day. Fenton said "both sides are making an honest and sincere effort to end the dispute as quickly as possible."

He said the Democrats could whip anybody the Republicans put up next year, but added the GOP is "in a touchy campaign to get the gentlemen from Gettysburg to run again." "They want him, of course, because they say he is more popular than the Republican party," Clement said. "Well, who isn't?" Douglas Plans Passenger Jet Santa Monica, Calif. (U.R) Douglas Aircraft Co., has dis closed plans to build America's first passenger jet transport plane which will have a top speed in excess 'of 550 miles an hour and will carry from 80 to 125 passengers. Company President Donald W Douglas announced last night his firm has decided to build the ship, which wiH be able to fly from Los Angeles to New York in less than five hours and from New York to Paris in less than seven hours. The jet transport, to be known as the DC8, will be ready for its initial test flight by December, 1957, with airlines deliveries to begin in 1959. It will be nearly 200 miles an hour faster than the firm's DC7 "Seven Seas propeller-driven plane which is scheduled for delivery to eight leading airlines in 1956. The jet transport is being de signed so that it will be able to operate from existing major air terminals despite its size and speed. The DC8 will have a wing span of 134.6 feet, a length of 140.6 feet and will stand 40.2 feet high. Gross weight of the overwater version will be 257, 000 pounds.

CENTRAL Democrats Claim Major Victory To Scuttle Plans Washington (U.R) Demo crats in Congress claimed a major victory today in their fight to scuttle President Eisen hower's Dixon-Yates power plan. They conceded they still have a "long row to hoe," but said a House Appropriation Subcom mittee decision to withhold Dixon-Yates fundi sought by the President is a big step in the right direction. The subcommittee, at a closed meeting yesterday, rejected Mr. Eisenhower's request for $6,500, 000 to build transmission lines across the Mississippi river. The lines would carry power from the proposed Dixon-Yates plant at West Memphis, Ark., to the Ten nessee Valley Authority system. The subcommittee recom mended instead that TVA get the same sum of money to start work on a proposed $90,000,000 steam plant of its own at Fulton, Tenn. , The President devised Dixon Yates as part of a plan to meet growing needs, in the TVA area without further congressional ap propriations. It calls for. a private utility combine to build a West Mem phis plant and pipe its power to TVA to replace TVA power used by the Atomic Energy Commis sion. Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) said . the subcommittee vote struck the Dixon-Yates plan in a vital spot. "Without the transmission line, the President will have a contract on his hands for Dixon Yates to deliver 600,000 kilo watts of electricity to the middle of the Mississippi river with no takers," Gore said. Dixon-Yates does not have a franchise to cross the Tennesee line. TVA cannot build a line to the middle of the river to take the power without a congression al appropriation. This we intend to deny." Reps. Clifford Davis and Joe L. ' Evins, Tennessee Democrats, said the subcommittee vote, if sustained by the full Appropria tions Committee and by the House and Senate, means an end to Dixon-Yates. Financial Aspects Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission continued hearings on the private financial aspects of the project. Richard W. Cook, deputy gen eral manager of the AEC, was called as today's first witness. An SEC examiner, James G. Ewell, is hearing arguments on the Dixon-Yates plan to borrow up to $120,000,000 from two in surance companies and 24 banks to pay most of the costs of con structing the West Memphis plant. Edgar H. Dixon, president of Mississippi . Valley Generating Co. (the Dixon-Yates company) and of Middle South Uitilities Inc. (one of its two parent com panies), testified yesterday that the terms of the proposed bor rowing, negotiated last year, are better than could be arranged today, in view of tha recent up ward trend of interest rates. Confers With Cfiou Tokyo (U.R) Indonesian Premier Ali Sastroamidjojo said today he discussed with Com munist Chinese Premier Chou En-lai his country's offer to help arrange negotiations between Red China and the United State. Radio Peiping heard here said Sastroamidjojo discussed the possibilities of easing tension in the Formosa Straits when he visited Chou in Peiping last week. The premier arrived by plane at Djakarta, Indonesia Tuesday. MORE DAYS T Invert at Jackson County Federal ' and Eera Dividends an Your Investment.
