November 20. 1958 West's Longshoremen End Sympathy Strike With No I LA Thanks New York (U.R) West Coast longshoremen returned to work today with no thanks from the striking International Longshore men's Association for a 24-hour demonstration which shut down the nation's entire waterfront. Representatives of the ILA whose strike still held a stran gled shipping from Portland, Me., to Brownsville, Tex., were to resume negotiations with the New York Shipping Association this afternoon under federal me diation. Talks proceeded under pres sure from the White House that they settle their differences and put the nation back in the ship ping business. More than 200 ships lay idle on the East and Gulf coasts. Al most no merchant shipping was moving. Only tankers, handled by another union, and military vessels and their cargoes were unaffected. No Turkey Stuffing New York grade sources esti mated the strike was costing the nation S20 million a day. That business loss could be fig ured at S60 million to date since the strike began Friday morn ing. One immediate loser was the Thanksgiving turkey stuffing. Two and one-half million pounds of chestnuts are aboard ships in New York Harbor and have no chance of reaching market HORNBROOK Youth Attends By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook Bil Holland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Holland, of Camp Lowe, was one of the students selected to represent Yreka High school at the annual YMCA Youth conference held at Anderson, Calif. Saturday Nov. 17. Selection of the students was made by the teachers of the var ious schools participating. The theme of the conference this year was "will your anchor hold?" The panel of each school has its own topic, Yreka's being "my school's reputation." The panel of experts was com posed of Dr. Rachel Sandrock, M.D., the Rev. Emory Nester, Mrs. Grace Hansen, and educat or Robert A. Teckler. The noon dinner speaker was Dr. Glen Moran. a psychiatrist. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) A seven-vear-old actress won television's Cinderella role of the year the title part for "Eloise" by being an Eloise herself. Evelyn Rud ie, a native who lives right on Hollywood b 1 v d., was awarded the role after hun- Aline Mosbr dreds of mop pets were screened by CBS. Kay Thompson, a nightclub star who wrote the book about the precoc ious Eloise, spent a day with Evelyn and decided she was a Eloise-ish as any little girl could be. "I'm glad I won because I'm going to be an actress when I grow up and have a big house with a swimming pool and a lit tle house on the beach," said Evelyn. Break for Lunch The new star and I had lunch during a recess from rehearsals of "Eloise," to be unveiled on CBS' "Playhouse 90" Thursday night. Evelyn is no beginner. A friend took her to see director Henry Koster and he launched her in show business with a bit in "Daddy Long Legs." She has appeared in othere films and on TV. She is one of the country's youngest ice figure skaters. Miss Thompson's hilarious book relates the adventures of a little girl who lives in New York's Plaza hotel. But the story also had pathos because her divorcee mother seldom was around. The hotel was the child's only home and the hotel workers her only friends. TV Version Different The TV version, however, has been changed to destroy that point. The TV Eloise merely will be hiding at the hotel while her parents carry on a front paged divorce battle. There's even a scene in which Monty Wooley and Louis Jourdan save Eloise from being photographed by newspaper cameramen, a fate worse than death in TV stories. "The director gives me a rose every day if I'm good," an nounced Evelyn while she bounced on the restaurant seat. "But I played a trick on him. I gave him coffee mixed with water and told him it was a Coke!" Then Evelyn, and only child, lapsed into a fantasy world and whispered, "I have twin pretend brothers and a pretend sister and we play games together." t before Thurcday. Imported Christmas merchandise also is held up. ILA President Capt. William V. Bradley sent a sharply word ed telegram Monday to Harry Bridges, head of the rival West Coast International Longshore men's Union, telling him to keep out of the ILA's business. "Our organization resents the interference of you and your officers with our negotiations," Bradley said. He further blasted the ILWU Monday night and said it was attempting to profit by the ILA's strike. Another union official said a separate telegram had been ad dressed to West Coast longshore men, not to union officials, thanking them for their sym pathy. He said there was no inconsistency in the two tele grams. The West Coast dockers split from the ILA, then an AFL affiliate, in the 1930s after a bloody waterfront war led by Bridges. They joined the CIO. The ILWU was later expelled from the CIO for Communist leanings. The ILA, since ex pelled from the AFL for cor ruption, has pointedly shunned the ILWU for its Communist taint. Little progress was made in negotiations Monda; despite a White House plea to restore the vital flow of shipping.

A number of northern Cali fornians took advantage of Sat urday's nice weather to do some shopping in Medford. Among those seen were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Graves, Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Cavin and daughter, Janet, all of Hilts, Frank Ward and his grand-daughter, Mrs. Donna De voe, and Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Walsh and daughter, Sharee. From conversations overheard in Medford Saturday, the sun shine and nice weather were a treat, after having been closed in so long by fog. Change in Bootlegging Method Brings Arrest Chicago (U.R) Herman' David, 64, will have two years in prison to reflect on the folly of chang ing a successful bootlegging style. He was sentenced Monday following seizure by AlcoTiol Tax Unit agents who found him driving a car loaded with 51 gallons of alcohol. During prohibition David won the nickname "Motorcycle Mike" by hauling moonshine on a motorcycle and easily out distancing any pursuing law officers. "If he had been on his motor cycle, they never would have caught him," commented one official. vhen you're mixin' vitt Shasta you re mean Hilt tie best! WHISXEY SOUR f$HASTA I WITS, tflf Horn Tooting, Mexico City IU.PJ If you own a 1934 Ford with a loud horn, you're much better off in this town than driving a 1956 luxury car. Many an unwary tourist who has found himself swept along in the stream of somewhat un ruly traffic here has wished he were caught in a herd of stam peding buffalo instead. The Federal District's traffic department has sworn to tame the city's wild drivers especial ly bus and taxi jockeys at all costs. It has just, installed an ele gant new traffic light system de signed to keep cars moving at a slow and steady pace. But so far, efforts to synchro nize the lights remind one of the first attempts to synchronize machine-gun-fire through air plane propellers. The lights are only one phase of the official war against the individualistic drivers. Traffic cops are parked on virtually every busy corner ready to nab the man who bears down on his horn and drives in the direc tion he is looking, which is gen erally straight ahead. Not long ago, the traffic de partment announced that horn blowers would be fined 100 pesos (S8) except in cases of emergency. Horn Too Loud The first man hauled into court for honking apparently was unimpressed by his sum mons. As he pulled up in front of the court building, he blasted his horn for an attendant to come and watch his car while he went in to pay the fine. "We have stiff regulations," said traffic boss Antonio Gomez Velazco, "but not enough men to enforce them. For every vio lator we haul in, there are 100 running loose." A concentrated drive one night netted more than 150 tipsy drivers, 30 of them behind the Union Pacific Bridge Construction Starts Weiser, Ida. (U.R! Morrison Knudson Company officials said today that construction was un der way on a new Union Pacific railroad bridge across the Snake river near Huntington.
