Warplanes Over Red-Claimed Territory Aired Artillery Blasts Quemoys Again Taipeh, Formosa (UPD The Communists blasted the Que moys with artillery again to day and charged the United States with a "deliberate war provocation" in flying war planes over Red-claimed terri tory. They also were reported building up their . MIG jet fighter strength by moving planes into a sixth new air field on the mainland coast opposite Formosa. Storm Stirs Seas These developments came as the winds of an approach ing storm stirred up rough seas in the Formosa Strait and kept any further U.S.-es-corted Nationalist convoys from reaching the Quemoys. However, NBC correspon dent Cecil Brown told United Press International that U.S. military officials in Formosa had recommended to Wash ington that U.S. 7th fleet war ships accompany Nationalist vessels to the Quemoy beach es instead of stopping at the three-mile limit. Brown said he got his information from an "unimpeachable source," and added that a decision probably from President Eisenhower-is expected within the next 24 to 48 hours. Within Range of Guns Any such plan would mean that American ships . would sail to within easy range of Red shore batteries that face the Quemoys from the main land. In Washington, a top mili tary official, who is in close touch with operations in the Formosa Strait, said he knew of "no change" in present U.S. policy of convoying Na tionalist ships to the three- mile limit while seeking to avoid any clash with the Chi nese Communists.

Three Employer Groups Settle Portland -(UPD- Two big lum ber unions and three major employer groups late yester day reached a settlement af fecting some 75.000 workers in the Douglas fir belt of the lumber industry. The agreement calls for a IVz cent hourly wage increase.' Union officials said it prob ably would end a current strike against several mills in Oregon and Washington by the AfLi-uio Lumber and Saw mill Workers Union. Separate Negotiations The agreement was reached in separate negotiations bv the LSWU and the AFL-CIO In ternational Woodworkers of America. The employer groups are the Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Commit tee, the Willamette Valley Op erators and the Plywood Op erators associations. The 7V cent hourlv wapp hike is subject to ratification by 50,000 members of the LSWU and 25,000 members of the IWA. The IWA had . voluntarily gone without negotiating for a wage increase last spring be cause of the depressed lumber market but announced re cently it would seek a 25-cent hourly hike because of im proved market conditions. The LSWU, whiqh struck several mills starting last week, originally sought a 31 cent hourly package wage hike. Three Yet Unsettled The 7V-cent hourly In crease would bring base pay in the industry to about $2 an hour. If union members ratify the agreements, it would - leave only Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Georgia-Pacific and Willamette Valley Lumber Company unsettled amone the big firms which negotiate in- aependentiy.

Only Formal Resignation Still To Be Arranged No Resignation, Hagerty Declares Washington (UPD An ad ministration figure said today that in his opinion Sherman Adams for practical purposes was through as President Ei senhower's chief assistant and that only a formal resigna tion remained to be arranged. Adams was represented by some of his prominent admin istration and Republican party colleagues as having come to the conclusion that his politi cal effectiveness was serious ly impaired by his relations with Bernard Goldfine, par ticularly as reflected in the dramatic Democratic victory in the Maine elections. In Newport, R. I., White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty declared that Adams had submitted no res ignition "in any shape, form or manner." On Fishing Trip" Adams . was somewhere in Canada on a fishing trip. He left no forwarding address with the White House. One administration figure said he did not believe Adams would return to work at the White House-at least not longer than to clean up his desk. I think the question of a resignation is over and done with," he said. "I don't think he's coming back." One Republican figure who . has had an inside picture of the Adams, controversy, told United Press International: "I haven't been told any. thing formal, but my some what educated intuition is that this thing-Adams leaving -has been all set. It was just matter of time. They (the White House) tried to work out the situation after the Gold- fine, hearings, but just could not.' Adams can't make any talks, he can't give the Demo crats hell without somebody yelling "corruption" r i g h t back at him. "Then came the Maine elec tions and in my opinion, that made up his mind." Hagerty issued the denial in commenting on a story in the Laconia, N. H., Citizen that it had learned from a re liable Washington source that Adams had resigned. Hagerty said the only part of the story that was "truth ful" was that Adams was on a Canadian fishing trip. New Radio Tower . How Up for KDOV Erection of a new 405-foot antenna tower for radio sta tion KDOV began this morn ing, according to Vern Lud wig, secretary - treasurer of Medford Broadcasters, Inc. Ludwig said that the tower should be up by this week end. Original transmitting an tenna of Medford's newest radio station crashed to the ground on Aug. 29 when a crop sprayer airplane struck a guy wire. The station has been operating since that time with an antenna wire strung between two power poles at the transmitter site a mile south of Medford. Sections for a complete new tower arrived here Saturday from Oklahoma City, Okla. A plane piloted by William E. Rosenbalm of Medford Air service, struck the antenna wire in the early morning ac cident. The plane reportedly was undamaged in the mishap.
