Company Struck
Roseburg HP Roseburg
Lumber company, one of the
largest independent lumber com
panies in the Northwest, was
struck late Monday by Lumber
and Sawmill Workers Union,
local 2949.
Union Business Agent Hank
Weber said the action involves
a demand for a five-cent an hour
wage boost.
About 1000 workers are af
fected by the walkout.
Weber said negotiations Mon
day afternoon failed to produce
an agreement. Pickets went on
the line at 5:55 p.m., and no
further talks were scheduled.
Weber said the reason for the
wage demand was in accord
ance with an increase in the cost
of living, and because, he said,
there has been a wage increase
this year in all other fields "ex
cept lumber."
"The lumber market is not as
depressed as the owners claim
it is," he said.

Air Force Plans To
Investigate
Of Steeves'
Washington (IP) The Air
Force says it is conducting a
routine investigation into the
ordeal of Lt. David A. Steeves,
who stumbled back to civiliza
tion in July after 54 days in the
California wilderness.
But it said Monday it has no
reason to disbelieve his story.
Forced To Crawl
Steeves, who parachuted to
safety, said he spent 54 days
alone in the High Sierra, living
on fish, reptiles and a deer. He
was forced to crawl through the
wilderness because of an in
jured leg, he said.
The Air Force said the inves
tigation is being conducted to
locate the plane and "to check
carefully and see what caused
the crash."
It said Steeves also is being
questioned at length "to deter
mine his reactions and evaluate
them with regard to survival
training." But the Air Force em
phasized it "has no reason to
believe the story is false until
completion of the investigation
which may take a long time."
Steeves, on his return, said
thoughts of his wife and child
helped carry him through the
long ordeal. But his pretty,
