SIX MEPrORP (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuwdsy, August 28, 1938 Uneasy Calm Reigns in Lumber Workers' Dispute at Feather Falls Sawmill Operation Oroville, Calif. (U.R) An uneasy calm reigned here today In the labor dispute at the Feath er River Pine Mills at nearby Feather Falls as armed guards carried workmen to their jobs. No open flareups of violence have occurred since last week when the home of a Sacramento trucking executive was dyna mited in what he termed a re prisal for sending a truck through the picket lines at the mill. A truck driver was beaten the same day, while several days earlier a railroad trestle owned by the company was burned. Non-Union Workmen The Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union failed to come to terms with the mill management in June 1954, but the mill, owned by Georgia-Pacific, con , tinued to operate with non-union workmen. Relations between workmen and union personnel had been strained for the period lince negotiations ended. The picket Jine around the mill had been reduced from 12 to four today and a sound truck which had hurled taunts at workers was removed from the icene. But men on both sides continued to carry weapons. Shotgun Loaned When William W. Gamble, plant superintendent, was asked if he was encouraging workers to carry guns, he replied: "Well, one of the men asked me last night if he could borrow my automatic shotgun and I gave it to him." Undersheriff Roy E. Parker, supervising the squad of depu ties at the mill, said he had not been searching the men for weapons. "Everybody in this mountain country owns a gun, and if they don't keep a shell in the cham ber we can't stop them from carrying them." Luther Sizemore, internation al representative for the Broth erhood of Carpenters and Join ers, parent union of the striking sawmill workers, has pledged the union to a policy of non-violence, unless provoked. Asks 'Advertising Pickets' Sizemore asked that he be permitted to send "advertising pickets" to the Georgia-Pacific plants "to advertise there is a strike here." "If they (union workers) want to stop at the picket lines, they may do so. We hope they do," he said. Sizemore said he expected a reply this week from Maurice A. Hitchinson of the Indianapolis. Ind., international president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, parent organization of the saw mill workers union. Sizemore was sent here to bring the two-year strike to a head. Georgia-Pacific Vice Pres ident R. E. Floweree claimed there was "no strike at Feather Falls. The employees of the mill rejected the union in 1954 and prefer no union," he said. British Columnist Scorns Police Protection for Marilyn Monroe London (U.R) A British columnist expressed indignation today that a platoon of British police was detailed to London Airport Sunday so that Marilyn Monroe could "enjoy a quiet seeking session" with her hus band. The actress' husband, play wright Arthur Miller, took off for the United States 'after a hectic session in which he twice climbed into the wrong airplane. This followed his private fare- Plane Hits Homes Leaving Four Dead f Sanford, Fla. U.R) Four persons, including a 3-year-old girl, were killed Monday when Navy attack bomber trying to make a crash landing smashed Into two houses and exploded. Three of the victims were the crewmen of the twin-engine "Savage" bomber. The other was Marilyn Sue Lowe, who was watching from her front porch when the plane roared in trail ing smoke. The pilot apparently tried to turn and avoid the houses, but hit a tree and veered into them. One house was destroyed and the other was badly burned by gasoline spewed over a wide rea. The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lowe, and their other child, 4-year-old David, suffered econd-degree burns and severe hock. They were found on the lawn of their burning residence, pparently blown there by the force of the blast. The Navy dead were identi fied as Lt. Comdr. O. D. Hall, 84, survived by his parents in Kansas City, Mo., and his wife in Sanford: Lt. (jg) G. M. O Hara, 28, New York city, sur vived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin A.

"I wonder if we'll get a re peat of Sunday night's fantastic nonsense when Arthur Miller comes back from America," col umnist Simon Ward said in the Daily Sketch today. "Cops on motorbikes, cops in jeeps. Cops in a big-booted ring around the Monroe limousine. All so that Arthur's ever-loving Marilyn could enjoy a quiet necking session in the back of the car safe from the eyes of vulgar peasants," he wrote. "Eight or 18, they might just as well have been doing their proper job of keeping law and order at the airport, because the peasants barely outnumbered the police." i Western Railroads Eye Freight Rate Hike Chicago U.R) Plans to seek a freight rate increase have been discussed by traffic executives of western railroads forming the Western Traffic association. A spokesman said returns from freight operations during the first half of 1956 were "very disappointing." He added that net operating income of Class I carriers in the western district was $186,736,305, down from the $202,582,626 in the same pe riod of 1955. The spokesman said the com parison was despite a "slightly higher level of operating reve nues." The traffic executives, the spokesman said, decided to seek an increase in rates necessary to maintain a "healthy financial condition" on the lines involved. Sentence Upheld For Bomber of Plane Manila U.R) The Philippine Supreme court upheld today the death sentence of a man who planted a time bomb in an air liner to kill the husband of the woman he loved. Thirteen per sons died in the crash. A court sentenced Crispin Verzo and two accomplices to die for destruction of property and multiple murder, but the Supreme court reduced the sen tences of the two accomplices to 17 years on the ground that they did not know their acts would bring death. Verzo was accused of blowing up the plane in May, 1949, be cause he was in love with Mrs. Fructuosa Suzara and her hus band was aboard the aircraft.
