Wednesday, Oeiober 28, 19SI MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEX Radical Mew Air Force Planes Said Certain To Independent Union Takes Up Strike On Westinghouse Pittsburgh U.B) Some 11. 000 members of the independent United Electrical Workers union joined CIO International union of Electrical Workers in a strike against the Westinghouse -Electric Corp. today, jumping to 55, 000 the number of employees on strike in a nation-wide walkout The UE members walked out Gat l0 plants at midnight after union officials accused the com pany of demanding a "five-year blackout on collective bargain ing." Company spokesman said union members began picketing plants here and at Derry, Pa., at the strike deadline. Already Off Job ' When the company-wide strike call came, about 7,600 UE mem bers already were off the job at South Philadelphia and Jersey City, N.J., plants. They had walked out Oct. 14 in protest jt against an alleged company plan to cut wages, reclassify jobs and demand incentive work at day work rates. James J. Matles, UE director of organization who issued the strike call Tuesday said West- Oinghouse had refused "to move from its demand for a five-year blackout on collective bargain ing with a three per cent wage increase." 8 ; The move came 10 days after the CIO union pulled its 44,000 Tooth Decay Reduction Seen Portland (U.R) Dr. Har old M. Erickson, state health of ficer,' predicted yesterday that Oregon communities which have adopted fluoridation pro grams will reduce tooth decay in children 65 to 70 per cent. Dr. Erickson told the 30th an nual League of Oregon Cities convention here that surveys in four Oregon cities Geafhart, Seaside, Astoria and Warrenton backed up his figures. The doctor said "we couldn't come to this conclusion on this limited basis, but the pattern follows almost identically the pattern of larger cities with longer experience." He said three years of fluori dation in the Clatsop county towns had brought the tooth decay level in children down close to that of Aurora, 111., a city with natural water fluori dation. members out of 30 company Dlants also as a result of a wage dispute. Both unions had reject ed a company offer of a five-year contract which graduated an nual pay increases totaling 23 V2 cents an hour. . The unions have demanded one-year contracts with a 15 cent hourly pay boost. A com pany time-study program also had been a subject of the negotiations. CHAIN & HOUR HARDWARE !

One day soon you may see a flame spouting jet craft zoom straight up from the ground and dart away at supersonic speed. It may be shaped like a disc or a triangle. But it won't be a flying saucer one of those weird, objects that have been reported dancing across the skies for the past eight years. The Air Force said in an ex haustive report Tuesday night that flying saucers are the bunk. The number that cannot be log ically explained is approaching the vanishing point, the service said in making public a study of 5,000 saucer sightings since mid-1947. Illusion of Saucers . At the same time the Air Force took some of the wraps from aircraft that "will be a new phenomenon in our skies and under certain conditions could give the illusion of the so-called flying saucer." Apprehensive about public re action, Air Secretary Donald A. Quarles said the new planes will not be "supra-natural or myster ious." They will be manned, if manned at all, by "normal" earthmen. They will obey nat ural lows. The public will be informed about them , within se curity limits. . Two of the new planes are the Ryan vertical take-off and land ing jet and the disc-shaped jet built by Avro of Canada.: The Ryan plane, having delta or tri angular wing, is due to fly at any ,time:f rom Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The Avro. plane, long ' dubbed a flying saucer, is under development and no flight time is known. No Runways Used Quarles emphasized that other countries also can develop such planes, distinguished chiefly by their ability to rise and land without runways. " As for those mysterious sauc ers, the Air Force said in a 316 page scientific study that "no evidence" of the existence of such -things was found. .Investi gating methods are so eood now. it said that only three per cent of this, year's sightings' are unex plained., ' 'V '; .- Quarles . said that no objects like those popularly'called sauc ers have flown over 'this coun try.' None of the so-called saucers "were in fact aircraft' of foreign origin." He was Sure the un known three per cent were con ventional phenomena or ( illus-' ions. ' i;.'v V ' ' No Price Boost For Steel Industry Seen During 1955 New York (U.R) Roger M. Blough, chairman of U. S. Steel Corp., says 1955 will see record breaking production in the steel industry, but no general price increase. - . Blough made his forecast Tues day after announcing ."Big Steel's" record third quarter earnings. Company directors pre viously had increased the firm's common stock, dividend. Blough said 1955 production would break ;all previous rec ords in the' Industry's history. He foresaw no general price boost in the near future although the price of certain specific prod ucts might go up. Financing Need Seen However, Blough said "a vital need"' "for expanded production facilities might 'require fiancing through higher prices unless the government resumes sufficient depreciation allowances. Federal authorities recently curtailed the program of rapid depreciation for new steel producing instal lations. : ' Blough said the 1955 output for the nation's steel mills would run 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons -above the previous record of 111,600,000 tons set in 1953. He anticipated no . letup in steel demand (now a record) at least through the first quarter of 1956. He would make no com ment beyond that point., The dividend was boosted by 15 cents to 65 cents a share. That will bring dividends for 1955 to $2.15 a share on common.
