Indochina (U.R) Sai gon's waterfront was half para lyzed today by a strike of 3.000 pilots, dockworkers and other port workers demanding higher year end bonuses. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Washington U.R) Pulitzer Prize winning novelist MacKin lay Kantor said Monday night phony historical novels are dop ing the minds of Americans. Kantor, awarded the Pulitzer prize for his Civil War novel "Andersonville," bemoaned in a lecture at the Library of ton gress the use of pseudohistory as the background for "sex nov els." He said he and others who started writing historical fiction in the 1930s "opened up sudden ly a new miracle mile whereon the unscrupulous could set up shop." "The anachronisms of Holly wood are a byword," he said. "But they can be matched page for scene by lurid chronicles which have in part sustained the lending libraries and doped the minds of the populace for at least two decades." "People who had been flood ing the market with sex novels about flappers wjio were lured to madhouses found that they could write the same sex novels about the American historical scene. They had only to dress their flappers in crinolines." Motion To Suppress Use of Tapes Filed Portland (U.R) A motion to suppress use of certain tapes and wire recordings as evidence was filed yestreday by District Attorney William Langley in connection with the case in which he and two others were indicted for conspiracy to set up gambling. The indictment was dismissed last week but the court ordered the case resubmitted to the grand jury. Others named with Langley were Joseph P. Mc Laughlin and Thomas Maloney of Seattle. Langley said no evidence should be considered by the grand jury other than such as might be given at a trial. He claimed the tapes were inad-missable. Woman, 79r May Inherit Estate San Francisco U.R) A 79-year-old woman learned Mon day night she may be the sole beneficiary of an S185.000 estate left by an Idaho man 23 years ago. Mrs. Florence Harrison, widow of a shipyard worker, took the news of her good fortune calmly. "All my life, I've had a feel ing that some day I'd come into some real money," she said. "And now that it's happened, everyone in my family is going crazy everyone but me." The estate which Mrs. Morri son may inherit was left in 1934 by Philip P. Weber, a KeJIogg, Ida., banker and Mrs. Harrison's uncle. She is his only known blood relative. Administrators of the estate recently found Mrs. Beatrice Holt, a niece of Mrs. Harrison's now living in Salt Lake City. She presumably told of Mrs. Harrison's relationship to Weber and said she had a son in Ely, Nev. The son, Peter Weber Harri son, was found in Sparks. He re layed news of the inheritance to his mother here. "I'm nearly 80 years old," Mrs. Harrison said, "but I still can do quite a bit with money like that. However, I imagine most of it will go to my family." Mooney falls in northern Ari zona's Havasu canyon are high er than those of the famous Niagara.

U.R) Two bombs were set off Monday night in this race-conscious city, blasting out the side of a Greek Orthodox church. But early today police could not determine whether racial tensions had anything to do with the two bombings. There were no injuries and total damage was light. i The bombings took place with- j in 10 minutes of each other be- j ginning about 10:30 p.m. A third explosion was heard 45 minutes j later but police were unable to ; fix the location. j Assistant Fire Chief Austin ' Manuel said damages to the St. I Michaels Greek Orthodox church ' would total about $1,500. One side of the brick building was blown inward by the blast. Win dows in the chapel were shat tered. Members of the church said they could think of no reason why the church was bombed. A meeting in an adjacent parish house had just broken up when the bomb went off. The second blast was at the Slash Transfer and Storage Co. A bomb was planted under a trailer-truck and blew the floor , of the trailer loose. Indictment Sought For 'Mad Bomber' New York '.U.R) An Indict ment charging attempted mur der was being sought today against "mad bomber" George Metesky whose homemade pipe bombs injured 15 persons before his capture last week. Thirty five persons, including eight injured by bombs which the mild mannered Metsky said he planted, were scheduled to appear before a Grand Jury hearing evidence in the case. Although Metsky was booked on lesser charges, it was learned that the district attorney's office was seeking an indictment on the rarely invoked attempted murder charge. Conviction on this charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years. Non-Agricultural Employment Higher Salem (U.R) Non-agricultural employment in the Portland-Vancouver area increased 2.500 last month while in down state Oregon 8.100. fewer jobs were recorded, the State Unem ployment Compensation Com mission reported today. Commission reports indicated that 257,900 persons were work ing during December in Clacka mas, Multnomah and Washing ton counties in Oregon and Clark county in Washington. This compares with 255,400 the previous month and 249,500 a year ago. Claims recorded in employ ment offices in the area showed several thousand persons have become unemployed in recent weeks. Year-end count for the three Oregon counties was around 16,500 actively looking for work. Gains of more than 5,000 in trade and governmental jobs during the holidays were partly offset by losses of 1,100 in con struction, 600 in lumbering, 300 in food processing and a few hundred in other manufacturing and service groups.
