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. .
Eagle Point School
Bonds Being Printed
Eagle Point Bonds for the
construction of two new school
buildings in Eagle Point have

architect, . is working on the
plans for the building. It ?s
hoped that bids can be called
for by. the end of the month,
Hale said.
The buildings, a multi-purpose
elementary school building and
a vocational agricultural build
ing for the high school, were
approved by school district No. 9
at an election held in May. The
amount needed to be raised is
$150,000.

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.
