The operation and mainten

been considered. Stainless steel
plates have been attached to all
corners throughout the building.
Plastic and asphalt tile covers
each floor, with coved terraza
marble at the base of all walls.

boilers which are capable of
producing 50,000 pounds of
steam pressure per hour, there
is a third boiler which acts as a
standby. An emergency power
unit also is available in case of
complete electric failure. It will
afford power for the lighting
system, boilers and elevators.

include a 31-bed psychiatric
ward; a one-story laundry wing
to serve the needs of the medical
school campus; a contagious di
sease unit; administrative and

Action Postponed on
Newport Dock Petition
Portland U.R) Federal
Judge Gus Solomon has post
'poned action on a National Labor
Relations Board pition for a
restraining order against threat
ened picketing by the teamster's
union on the Newport docks.
Judge Solomon based the decis
ion on the grounds that a simi
lar petition is pending in the
state courts of Lincoln county.
Two Newport companies had
filed unfair labor practices
charges with the NLRB against
the teamsters for picketing and
the longshoremen for refusing
to work behind the picket lines.
The NLRB asked the court to
restrain any picketing pending
an investigation.
Circuit Judge Fred McHenry
granted a temporary order
against the pickets which was
attacked by the unions on the
grounds of jurisdiction. Judge
McHenry has the case under advisement.
