Dock Strike Talks Bog Down; Session Scheduled Monday 200 Ships Tied Up Along East Coast New York (U.R) Federal mediators failed Saturday to win a settlement of the S20-million-a-day dock strike that has tied up nearly 200 ships from Maine to Texas. A union spokesman said labor and management were "farther apart than ever be fore." A new mediation session was scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday. The negotiations boirrjed down after government officials ex pressed the hope the two-day-old walkout could be settled with a Taft-Hartley injunction. 'Disturbed' U.S. Maritime administration officials in Washington were "disturbed" by the strike of 60,000 dock workers, which came on top of the world ship ping crisis caused by the Suez Canal closing and threatened to spread to west coast and Ha waiian ports. The New York board of trade appealed to President Eisen hower Friday to declare a na tional emergency and invoke the Taft-Hartley law. A labor department source said Saturday the shutdown is "being watched closely" but that mediators will be given a full opportunity to settle the dispute before court action is sought. The strike hit major ports from Portland. Me., to Browns ville, Tex., Friday. Two Florida ports were shut early yesterday. It marked the first time every Texas Port on the Gulf of Mex ico had been closed by a strike and brought charges from south ern shippers that union officials in New York were interfering with bargaining on a local level. The key issue in the strike was a union demand fur a blank et contract covering all ports on the east coast -and the Gulf, of Mexico. Contracts heretofore have been negotiated on a local and reg ional basis. The strike idled at least 50 ships in New York, The nation's largest port, and 40 in New Orleans, the second largest. In Phildclphia, 25 ships, including some carrying army cargo, were tied up in the Delware river. British. French Under House Arrest Cairo (U.R) Egypt an nounced Saturday it has placed all British and French residents in "restricted residence" pre sumably meaning house arrest to protect them from mobs in flamed by Anglo-French "atroc ities." "Egyptian authorities have decided to put all Anglo-French nationals in Egypt under restric ted residence as a measure for their own personal safety, in view of the reaction of the Egyptian people to atrocities committed during the aggression against Port Said," said Col. Ab del K. Hatem, the government's official spokesman. "Such acts as bombing from the sea and air and deliberate mass killing of innocent civil ians left a very unpleasant feel ing among the entire Egyptian population. At the same time, the health ministry announced it has pro tested to the international Red Cross and the World Health Or ganization the Anglo-French re fusal to admit an 18-car hospital train to Port Said. British and French authorit ies in the occupied city allowed four cars of the hospital train to enter the city, but insisted that Egyptian nurses accom panying the train must be left behind. Meanwhile, Democratic house members, a branch in which their party has outright numer ical control, agreed to the elec tion of Rep. Pat Dooley of Port land to be speaker of the House. Dooley won in a vote with Robert Kalmsen of St. Helens, who is rumored to be heading for the upper chamber when Columbia and Clatsop counties name a successor to governor elect Robert Holmes. Both parties agreed in caucus to hold firm in their attempts to organize the Senate in the 1957 legislature. Sen. Pearson appointed a com mittee of Phil Brady cf Port land, Hairy Eoivin of Klamath Mis Young Hungarians Deported to Labor Camps by Russians Workers Continue Paralyzing Strikes Vienna UR) R u s si a n troops Saturday rounded up more young Hungarians lor de portation to slave labor camps. The Soviet action spurred Budapest workers to pledge con tinuation of their paralyzing general strike despite thinly veiled Communist threats to starve them into submission. Simultaneously, it was an nounced that the Communist regime of Soviet-sponsored Hun garian premier Janos Kadar has agreed to let the International Red Cross control distribution of western relief for the shattered country, including $20,000,000 in U. S. aid. Became Major Issue United Press Staff Corres pondent Russell Jones reported trom Budapest that spokesmen for more tnan 100,000 workers there said the deportations now have become a major issue in the rebellion. Another spokesman fur 48.000 workers at the iron and steel plant on Csepel Island, south of Budapest, told Jones "We will go on striking until all our de mands are met." In addition to an end to the deportations, their demands in clude the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Hungary and the return of ousted former Premier Imre Nagy to replace Kadar. Sons, Brothers Arrested Some of the workers told Jones uicy. had sons or brothers arrested and deported by Rus sians. One woman said Russian soldiers entered all homes in her neighborhood early yesterday, rounded up all young men and dragged them off to captivity. The Hungarian Communists' decision to permit Red Cross dis tribution of all western relief supplies was announced to a news conference here by Roger Gallopin, executive director of the Red Cross in Geneva. Gallopin said the Red-run gov ernment of Kadar had accepted President Eisenhower's offer of $20,000,000 in aid provided it is distributed through Red Cross channels. Attendance Planned At Aviation Hearing Members of the Jackson County Chamber of Comerce aviation committee will repre sent the chamber, city of Med ford, Jackson county court and Josephine County Chamber of Commerce at a civil aeronautics board hearing, tentatively sched uled March 5. Purpose of the hearing is to determine certification of local service routes from Klamath Falls to Boise and Klamath Falls to Reno and Boise. The routes, if certified, will allow air ser vice to connecting points east of the Rogue valley for the first time. The aviation committee, und er chairmanship of John Ham acher, is filing with the civil aeronautics board a petition for leave to intervene in the case and present exhibits favoring service along the proposed routes. Members of the committee working on the case are J. P Tobin. Ed Gordon, K. W. Cook, Carl E. Wimberly Jr., Ed Le Shane, L. M. Chamberlain, Dick Alley and James Dunlevy.' -. Falls, and Monroe Sweetland of Milwaukie to meet with Repub licans in an attempt to get in touch with Sen. Gill himself to discuss the situation. Delay in reaching a compro mise solution and in getting the Senate organized could hold up the scheduled inauguration on Jan. 14 of governor-elect Holmes. The state constitution provides that a new governor takes office as soon as the speaker of the House has informed "both hous es" of the election results. The question resolves to one of whether the Senate can prop erly be called a "house" before it is organized.
