Wednesday, November 30, 1953' MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE evporf Group Argues For Decision Reversal On Yaqoirta Project When Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was about to fly to Canada for a little relief from the case of state, his plane was delayed for a time. Then Mrs. Dulles accompanied by her black poodle arrived at the airport in a private Emousine. Mrs. D. hur ried to the waiting aircraft carrying a mysterious looking leather box shaped like a violin case. It contained Dulles' hunt ing gun. Dulles hopes to bag a few ducks at his retreat at Duck Island on Lake Ontario. Washington U.R) A dele gation from the Newport, Ore., area argued yesterday for a re versal of Army Engineers' de cisions against building a "deep draft" channel at Yaquina Har bor on the Oregon coast. They told the Army Rivers and Harbors Board that division and district engineers had rec ommended unfavorably on the project because of insufficient information on the traffic it would attract. Additional Tons Retired Lt. Gen. Lewis Pick, former chief of engineers and now vice-president of the board of Georgia Pacific Plywood Co., said facts had been gathered to show the new channel would carry an additional 840,000 tons of cargo a year, at savings of $1,103,000 to shippers. Maj. Gen. Charles G. Holle, Army board chairman, said fur ther consideration would be giv en to the earlier unfavorable re ports, probably at a further meeting here. Pick said a subsidiary of Georgia Pacific is building a new plywood plant at Toledo, Ore., on Yaquina Bay, and also ex pects in two or three years to start shipments of Alaskan pulp for "blending" with pulp from a Toledo plant. He also argued that the port is the closest one to "the great agricultural area" of Oregon's Willamette valley. Added Shipments John W. Hill, Port of Toledo attorney, and other Toledo and Newport witnesses, said a deep- SP&S Engineers Take Slrike Vote Chicago flJ.R) Locomotive engineers on the Spokane, Port land and Seattle Railroad have voted to strike, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers said in an announcement received here yesterday. Grand Chief Engineer Guy L. Brown said no date for a walkout has been set, but that the en gineers' patience was "running thin." Talks with the railroad on working conditions began Aug. 29, he said, and the 225 engineers threaten to walk out if no agree ment is reached "in the very near future." The railroad, a subsidiary of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads, operates be tween Portland and Spokane, and to Eugene and Bend, Ore. er channel would make possible added shipments of poles and pilings, wood chips, chemicals and oil products, as" well as lum ber. The present channel has a 26 foot depth over the ocean bar, and 20 feet inside the bay. Dis trict Engineers considered sev eral alternate depths but discard ed eacti as not being justified economically. They did recom mend extension of the turning basin. Timber Not Considered A statement submitted for Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), said the district decision failed to take into account the increase being allowed in timber cuts in national forests and Interior De partment forest lands. The project was called "the key to unlocking vast develop ment" in a statement submitted by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, (D-Ore.). In separate action, the board confirmed unfavorable reports on a proposed improvement of Chetco Cove breakwater and dredging of the harbor to a 30 foot depth. The report said the improvement "is not justified at this time." OPEN EVERY Wednesday Night Until Christmas! BUSH Home Furnishings Pae- Hwy.

(U.R) CIO United Auto Workers at the Per fect Circle Corp. foundry voted by a narrow margin yesterday to end their bloody four-month strike which brought National Guard troops and tanks to this city twice in seven weeks. The vote was 86 to 72. It came on a secret ballot. There was no indication im mediately when the strikers would go back to their jobs. Emil Mazey, UAW interna tional secretary, told newsmen after the meeting, which was called to ratify a two-year -agreement reached in Chicago Mon day, that the union would "do all we can to put-the community back together again." He referred to violence and; bloodshed which occurred since the strike started last July 25 and brought a declaration of martial law after an Oct. 5 gun battle between strikers and non- strikers who kept the foundry operating during the walkout.
