j 1 Medford &,TRIBUNE United Pre -Full Leased Wire United Pre Full Leased Wire SECTION TWO MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1955 Page's 1-12 M&M Strike Claimed Violation of T-H Act Portland (U.R) The president of the M and M Woodworking Company has charged here that a strike against five of the firm's plants was "unlawful and in direct violation of the Taft Hartley act." Clay Brown, in a public state ment of the company's position, said there had been no warning of a strike and that M and M did not even know that a strike vote was contemplated or that a walkout had been authorized. Claude A. McCuIley, secretary of the striking local 2531 of the AFL Plywood and Veneer Workers Union, refused to com ment on Brown's charges. Brown asserted that the Taft Hartley law restricted both the union's right to strike and the company's right to lock out its workers. .

(International) Britain Believes Hydrogen Bomb Defense Largely Military Matter Editor's note: American Civil De fense preparations are in a state of disagreement and considerable confu sion. There is argument over whether evacuation oT cities is feasible. The following dispatch recounts how Bri tain has approached the problem. By GENE PATTERSON United Press Correspondent London (U.R) Britain has de cided that in this -"drogen age the gigantic task of "Civil De fense" against nuclear attack on its cities no longer is a civil but a military problem. Sir Anthony Eden's govern ment has ordered full" speed ahead on a brand new project for creation of 48 battalions o 600 men apiece, specially train ed to move into the destruction, death and chaos of a city hit by the H-bomb. It is a radical change for this nation which learned its blitz lessons first hand coping with the early 1940s, there were tens of thousands of civilian wardens patrolling blacked out streets, fire-watching on roo" . man ning ambulances and first aid stations. But British experts decided that kind of amateur organiza tion, no matter how heroic or sacrificing, could not cope by itself with nuclear assault. New Mobile Defense Corps Instead the backbone of Civil Defense will be this new mobile defense corps. Here's how it will operate: The MDC battalions are to be carefully dispersed around Bri tain, well clear of likely nuclear targets. A hydrogen bomb de stroys a city. Local Civil Defense workers die with the rest of the population. That's when the signal sounds for the MDC to move in its train ed rescue battalions. The men are equipped with gumboots, rubber 'gloves, geiger counters, respirators. They will mount fire trucks and ambulances as their vehicles of war. It will be an entirely separate branch of the army, wearing spe-cially-badged berets. The troops will carry light weapons in case they should have to fight air borne enemy troops and to com bat blind panic and looting. But their prime mission is to serve as firemen and ambulance rescuers. The corps will be drawn from Britain's r"- who serve two years and then join a perman ent reserve. They will get first a basic military training and then go through a r rous course in atomic survival. The fs-t train ing center alreacV ?; out men near the famous race course at Epsom. Britain is not ignoring the' job that a Civil Defense c-aniza'.ljn can do. There are 330,000 regis tered CD volunteers, most of them holdovers from World War II. The idea is that they will act as a supplementary force to the elite corps of disciplined and trained MDC soldiers. This Oregon-sized nation has gone through none of the drills on mock evacuations similar to last month's American test when President Eisenhower and other government officials left the cap ital. , Few of the old air raid shelters here are marked. Sirens are rusty. People don't know an all clear from a four alarm fire any more. This is partly a result of a Eagle Point Council OKs Police Car; Vafer Rates Down Eagle Point The Eagle Point cify council Tuesday night au thorized the police department to purchase a 1955-model car to be used for official police and city business, according to Min nie Hinsori, city recorder. The car will . be purchased from the Dick Knight company at Medford. The present car will be sold. Water rates for private homes and businesses were lowered to the same as in Medford. To Sell Old Truck It was decided that the old fire truck would be dismantled and the parts sold. The decision was made after it was shown that the upkeep on the truck out weighed its value to the com munity. At a special meeting held re cently, the council approved the city's 1955-56 budget. The budget totals $32,371, with $8, 077.50 to be raised through taxes. Estimated income for the city is $24,293.50. Costs of the new fire truck, financed by bonds, amounted to $13,000, and the cost of the West Main st. improvements came to $1,800. These are reported to be the only outstanding debts in curred by the city during 1954-55. 'Blackboard Jungle' Film Ruling Slated for Tesf Atlanta (U.R) A federal judge's ruling has permitted an Atlanta theater to show "Blackboard Jungle" until the constitutionality of a city cen sorship ordinance can be tested in court. Judge Boyd Sloan Tuesday overruled Mrs. Christine Smith Gilliam, who as censor issued a ban on the movie about juvenile delinquency last March 26.' He said "there is serious doubt as to the constitutionality of the city ordinance. ' Sloan granted a temporary -Injunction permitting Loew's, Inc., to show the film. fatalistic' approach to atomic at tack. Britain is so small and so close to the European continent that it has neither time for evac uation nor any place to hide. That is why the realistic Brit ish have approached the prob lem on the grounds of sending in expertly trained troops. SPECIALS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 8-9 Can It, Freeze H Eat,lt, Fresh!
