Conviction of Cahill Affirmed By Stale Court Salem U.R The Oregon Supreme Court today affirmed the conviction of Otto W. Cahill of Delake following arguments on rehearing. Cahill was charged with con version of public funds while acting as secretary of the Taft-Nelscott-Delake water district. Trial was held in Polk county on a change of venue with Cir cuit Judge William W. Wells of Pendleton presiding. Cahill was sentenced to not more than one year in the penitentiary and fined $1,500. The high court's original opin ion in the case was handed down Jan. 25, 1956 and held that the trial court's judgment of con viction should be affirmed. It said Cahill was guilty of mak ing personal use of the $750 en trusted to him and concluded that he was guilty of conversion. In an opinion by Justice-William C. Perry, the court reversed a judgment for $9,394 recovered by Tony Senger against the Vancouver-Portland Bus company for injuries sustained in an auto mobile collision on June 26, 1952. Senger contended that a city ordinance providing for one-way traffic does not prohibit other than one-way traffic and that since there was no stop sign fac ing him he was not negligent in failing to stop. The court held, however, that he was proceeding in the wrong direction down N. W. Couch st. a one-way street and failed to stop at the intersection of 10th ave. where the accident occurred.

'Big Three1 Steel Companies Expected To Offer Own Proposals New York U.R The "Big Three" steel companies are ex pected to present their counter proposals to the United Steel workers contract demands today in a move that could mean "war or peace" in the basic steel in dustry. , The companies offer the de tails of which probably will not be revealed will determine just how far apart the two sides are on basic contract issues. The union has presented the industry with 22 demands that the experts said from the biggest package since the Steelworkers signed their first contract with the steel industry in 1937. The union is asking for a big wage hike, a form of guaranteed annual wage, premium pay for weekends and a full union shop. The union's total package would cost 60 cents an hour if met in full, the experts calculated. Steelworkers now average about $2.47 an hour. The belief here is that a new agreement will be reached calling for a package increase approaching 20 cents an hour. The "Big Three" steel com panies U.S. Bethlehem and Re public will submit their coun ter proposals to the union when negotiations resume late today. The bargaining sessions, which began in Pittsburgh May 28, were recessed Tuesday to give management time to put the finishing touches on its of fer, which is expected to in clude a wage increase and a lay off pay plan better than the 26 weeks of supplemental unem ployment benefits which the auto workers got last year. Industry sources said hopes for an early settlement of the contract talks hinge ' on how close the companies' offer comes to the union's demands. "If the companies and the union are miles apart on key contract issues," a top industry spokesman said, "there could be real trouble this, year. If they are close, then an early settle ment is a distinct possibility." . The union's powerful 170-man wage and policy committee will meet here Friday to act on the counter offer from the "Big Three." A new contract between the union and the three biggest pro ducers is expected to set the pat tern for the rest of the steel in dustry and possibly the 11th round of postwar wage hikes throughout the economy. The present contracts between 650,000 USW members and 172 steel companies expire at mid night on June 30. The nation is faced with a costly strike if a new agreement is not signed by that time. Top officials of 11 major steel companies, including the "Big Three," are in New York to act in an advisory capacity on the contract talks.
