Union Plumbers Threaten Stoppage In Oregon Shops Corvallis U.PJ A work stoppage in union plumbing and iteam fitting shops in six west ern Oregon towns was threaten ed today as a result of a dead lock in negotiations between em ployers and union representa tives. E. L. Forsyth, chairman of Jhe employers' negotiation com mittee, said yesterday that em ployers have decided .to reject a demand of a package raise of about 60 cents an hour and accept the union's "ultimatum" to stopowork after its contract expires at 4:30 p.m. today. Would Be Lockout However, D. W. Burroughs, business representative of the lo cal, said if there was no work by plumbers it would be due to a lockout by the management. He said the matter of wages had not entered the negotiations and the union had never demanded the full package be accepted. He denied the union sent an ultima tum. . The stoppage would involve 100 plumbers in seven shops at Salem, Albany, Lebanon, Corval lis, Toledo and Newport. The union is asking a boost of 35 cents an hour in pay, 10 cents an hour for health and welfare, two weeks paid vaca tion and six paid holidays a year, Forsyth said. Burroughs said the employers had submitted 18 demands which he said will tend to weak en union security. Old Tax Law Adds To Nebraska Revenue Lincoln, Neb.

(International Soundphoto) Pope Said Worried Over Threat of War; Health Called Good Vatican City U.R) On the eve of his 81st birthday, Pope Pius XII is reported to be in ex cellent physical health but "suf fering deeply" from the con stant threat of war. This Saturday, March 2, is a double anniversary for the Pope. It is both is birthday and the 18th anniversary for the Pope as spiritual leader of the world's 450 million Roman Catholics. While he appears to be in the best health of any winter since World War II, high Vatican sources say he is basically un happy over the state of the world. The sources say he is still suffering deeply" over the events in Hungary and the Mid dle East and the constant men ace of war. "In the face of these grave evils," one high source said, "the Pope iinds consolation only in spiritual retirement and con stant prayer. He has often said that his intense spiritual life and his trust in God give him the power to overcome these sorrows." The night of Dec. 2, 1954,1 when Pius XII lay near death with gastritis and hernia, few of those close to him expected him to reach te age of 79. I Will To Liv. But expert diagnosis and treatment by Prof. Antonio Gas- barrini and other specialists and the Pope's own strong will i to live helped him pull through. Since that fateful night Vatican sources say, his health has never looked back. He had : been plagued with winter ill-; nesses intermittently since 1946. j For two winters now there have ; been none. j Last summer there were re ports of occasional sore throats and at times a mild return of the ' hiccups, which affected the Pope throughout the 1954 crisis. But ! the mildness of the ailments was indicated by the fact that the j watchful specialist made no ex tra visits to the Pope. The Pope exhibits his fitness when he strides firmly up and down the steps leading to the papal throne in St. Peter's Basili ca. In one month last summer he made 26 speeches, all of which he prepared himself. In October and November, he issued three encyclical letters on the Hun garian and Middle Eastern situ ations and broadcast a najor ap peal to the world for unity and peace. On the eve of his 82nd year, the Pope starts his day at 6:30 a.m. after mass in his private chapel, he confers with his aides and receives visitors in audience. In the afternoon he strolls in the Vatican gardens, along a cov ered passageway when it is rain ing, all the while studying docu ments of the church and Vatican state. It is after midnight when he lays aside his work to pray be fore going to sleep in his fourth floor apartment, high above St. Peters Square. Oregon Birthday Celebration Profit Declared Possible Salem XU.PJ The Legislature was told last night that the 1959 celebration of Oregon's 100th birthday as a state could come up with a profit of S2,500,000. Anthony Brandenthaler of Baker, chairman of the Oregon Centennial Commission, said his group is asking the Legislature for SI million to fix up the Pa c i f i c - International Exposition Building in Portland as a center for the combination birthday celebration and a regional trade fair. Tourist Money Seen Brandenthaler said a centen nial tied to a trade fair could draw up to S144 million in tour ist money, and and come up with a handsome profit. He said he had hoped that Portland's Exposition-Recreation center would be finished, in time but that this seemed doubtful at present. Sen. Alfred Corbett, Portland Democrat, said he understood the PI was a private agency and wondered if it could be taken over by a public agency if pub lic money were to be spent. Brandenthaler said he believed "something could be worked out so that money won't go into private enterprise." Mrs. MacNaughton Again Education Board Member Salem U.R Reappointment of Cheryl S. MacNaughton to the State Board of Higher Edu cation for a new six-year term was announced yesterday by Gov. Robert D. Holmes. Mrs. MacNaughton, Portland, was first named to the board in 1946 by Gov.
