Oil issues mounted quickly.
So did metals and chemicals.
Other departments followed in

Then the inevitable profit-tak

but the market ruled higher
through the day.

Angeles. San Francisco and
Seattle.
Mickelsen said the Central

Grandview Air Force Base, Mis
sun, under the command of
Col. Donald J. Bailey. That com
mand will coordinate defenses
ranging from Carswell Air Force

Alcoholic Anonymous Open
International Convention
St. Louis (U.R) -More than
5000 members of Alcoholics Ano
nymous, dedicated to staying
sober and helping others get that
way, today began the A.A's first
international convention in five
years.
The three-day meeting comme
morates the 20th anniversary of
the organization, which tries to
put alcoholics on the water
wagon by bringing them togeth
er with others who have already
licked the bottle.
The convention business ses
sions will be devoted to work
shop sessions and to reviewing
the growth of the fellowship
from two members in 1935 to
more than 150,000 recovered al
coholics today.
Bill W. Steps Down
The-climax will come at the
final meeting Sunday when Bill
W., the A.A.'s surviving co-foun
der, will ask permission to step
down from leadership.
Bill's full name is masked in
keeping with A.A.'s traditions of
anonymity.
The A. A. came into being after
Bill W.', a New York broker, had
miraculously achieved sobrie
ty" on his own.
Bill W. discovered that his yen
for heavy , drinking vanished
when he worked with other prob
lem drinkers. But, when a prom
ising business venture fell
through, he was tempted to hit
the bottle again.
Safe In Companionship
Seeking another alcoholic to
talk with, the. broker ran into

Mine, Mill Smelter
Workers Go on Strike
Denver (U.R) Mine, Mill
and Shelter Workers in non
ferrous metals industries span
ning the United States began
their biggest walkout since 1951
today after union contracts ex
pired at midnight. t
The strike, engineered by the
International Mine. Mill and
Smelter Workers Union Ind.,
was centered mainly in the
West, particularly in, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah and Mon
tana. But installations in 16
states from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, involving an estimated
60,000 union workers were in
volved. Hopes for Settlement
Rod 'Holmgren, a mine-mill
official, estimated that there
were from 40,000 to .50,000
workers off the job. However,
he said the union had "genuine
hope of some kind of settlement
sometime during the day."
At Perth Amboy, N. J.. 1800
employees of the American
Smelting & Refining Co., went
on strike at 6 a.m., and other
walkouts followed in rapid-fire
order.
In Contra Costa County, Calif.
750 workers struck the Selby
plant and the federated metals
division of American Smelting
& Refining.
Approximately 2500 were
idled at the Santa Ritamine
and the Hurley mill and smelter
in New Mexico after negotia
tions with the Kennecott Copper
Corp., bogged down.
Strike -in Arizona
At Hayden, Ariz., 180 workers
, Dr. Bob sobered up and stayed
dry as a result of his meeting
with Bill W. Then, to insure their
own sobriety, the two men start
ed to work with other alcoholics
in the Akron area.
The movement has spread
across the country since then and
has become one of the surest re
fuge for the person who can't
stop drinking by himself. -
Members are pledrd to turn
out at any hour to help someone
who feels the , old urge for a
drink coming on. Their guiding
rule is that there can be no such
thing as "just one" drink for
them, since once an alcoholic
starts drinking he can't stop.

Go Into Recess

gotiations between the AFL Sea
farers International Union and
the Pacific Martimine Associa
tion were in recess today while
shipowners studied the union's
wage proposals.
The union is seeking a master
contract for 6000 unlicensed sea
men aboard West Coast ships. It
offered two proposals yesterday
at the first meeting between the
two sides.
One proposal would increase
the monthly base pay from $302
to $450,, but would eliminate
penalty pay. The other was for a
straight across-the - board in
crease ranging upward from $35
a month.
The union also proposed that,
wages for cooks and stewards
be brought up to the level of
sailors and engine room' work
ers. -
Shipowners asked for a recess
until Wednesday to decide which
approach they favor the new
one without penalty time or the
traditional approach.
The union told J. Paul St
Sure, president of the maritime
association, that it would spell
out its new aproach in detail jf

Mosquitoes Plague
Portland Region
Portland (U.R) Mayor Fred
Peterson of Portland, today ap
pealed to Clark County, Wash.,
officials to join a mutual ' de
fense pact with counties in the
Portland metropolitan area
against "countless thousands" of
mosquito invaders.
Mayor Peterson said the
Aedes . floodwater mosquitoes
were, reared in Clark County,
across the Columbia river from
the' Portland area.
John H. Huber, insect abate
ment supervisor here, said Clark
county had 15,000 acres of ex
cellent breeding grounds for the
Aedes. He estimated it would
cost between $5000 and $8000 to
spray the area to destroy mos
quito larvae before they can
mature.
Mayor Peterson said that
while "some of the mosquitos
stay home and sting people in
Vancouver, a good portion of
them migrate to Portland."
