Reuthtr immediately an nounced he would switch from talks at General Mo tors Corp. to Ford in order to make every effort to avoid the strike. Ford Vice President John Bugas also announced he would attend the talks but warned that Ford would not sign a contract it did not con sider sound just to avoid a ttrike. "ThU decision by Reuther does not alter our desire, and will not deminish our efforts, to reach a settlement that is sound and fair to all parties Grange Hews Shady Cot Grange) The Shady Cove Grange met Saturday evening in the Shady Cove school music room with Master Ed Houston in the master's station.

We will reach a contract agree ment on this basis and only on this basis whether it comes before or after the deadline." Work for Settlement "We are prepared to spend at the Ford bargaining table all the time that may be ne cessary to achieve a just set tlement without the necessity of strike action if at all pos sible," Reuther said.

Lumber Pay Hike Receives Approval Portland-(UPD-Earl Hartley, executive secretary of Western Council of the AFL-CIO Lum ber and Sawmill Workers Union, said today the union's executive board had approved a 7Vi-cent hourly wage boost offer from the big lumber op erators in the Douglas fir re gion. Hartley said the union would recommend to some 20 striking locals that they ac cept the offer and return to work. Most of the strikers probably will be back on the job by Monday if they ap prove the agreement reached by negotiators, Hartley said. union won its supplemental unemployment benefits plan, selection of Ford as a target paid off in contract agree ments before the strike dead line. In both cases, the union turned on GM and Chrysler later to get even better con tract terms. Because it settled before a strike in 1953 and 1955, Ford still has not been hit by a nationwide strike during its long history as an auto pro ducer. Ford was the most suscep tible of the auto companies because it waited longer to start production of 1959 mod els and now is just in the process of changing over its plants for new model produc tion. New Models Out Chrysler already is produc ing 1959 Plymouths. GM be gins production of new Chev rolets next Monday. Wildcat strikes during the past s6v eral weeks have slowed down all of the companies but GM and Chrysler would have quite an edge on Ford if pro duction was halted by a na tionwide strike and the other two major producers contin ued to turn out new cards. Ford also was susceptible because it needed a comeback badly this year. Although all the auto companies had a bad year with 1958 models, Ford suffered more than GM. Bugas said his company ex pected to be a strike target all the time and prepared for it. The fact that Ford employ ed only about 100,000 while GM Vas employing 350,000 during the late stages of 1958 model production added to Cordon Elected to Bankers Position Ron Cordon, of the Rogue Valley State bank in Med ford, was elected president of the Southern Oregon Bankers association at a meeting in Grants Pass this week. Les Coleman, of the First National bank, Grants Pass, was named vice president, and Que Jameson, of the United States National bank in Ash land, was elected secretary. Marshall Dana, former edi tor of the editorial page of the Oregon Journal, spoke on the natural resources of Oregon. Dana is now assistant to the president of the United States National bank of Portland. the attractiveness of Ford as a strike target. This means fewer men would be Out of work if a strike was called at Ford and the union's S40 million strike fund would last more than twice as long. Truckers Oppose Rail Rale Cut San Francisco -(ITD North ern California truck opera tors stated their case Wednes day against lumber rate cuts proposed by the Southern Pa cific Railroad. Larry Ross, a Red Bluff lumber trucker, testified at a hearing of the interstate Com merce Commission that the proposed rate reduction would cut his income by about 20 per cent. C. R. Nickerson, represent ing truckers and shipping men, testified that SP's pro posed reduction of rates to about the 1948 level was counter to the trend of trans portation costs. The Southern Pacific i s seeking permission to cut lumber freight rates between Southern Oregon and South ern California and Arizona. The cut would benefit Southern Oregon lumbermen by equalizing their transpor tation costs with Northern California for markets in the southwest. New York Youth Can't Be Executed New.York-lUPD-Even should the confession of 8-year-old Melvin Nimer Jr. that he killed his parents be fully cor roborated, he could never be executed for the crime. New York state law stipu lates that no one under 15 may be indicted and tried for a crime punishable by death or life imprisonment. A 15-year-old may plead guilty to manslaughter in the first or second degree or the court may direct dismissal and or der that the juvenile courts try the child. Stanley Pluzdak, 17, was the youngest person ever ex ecuted in the state. He was 16 when he shot to death a Buffalo policeman in 1934. He was electrocuted in 1935. Earliest fragments of Scot tish minstrel songs date back to the 13th century." Portrayal of Freud Story On U.S. Stee! Hour Show Said Full of Inaccuracies dm By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York - (CPD - This is going to be a- big season for mustaches on TV. Steve Allen O unveiled one Sunday ana 3 fcnn will chnw his on Oct. 9 m a "Play -house 9 0." And Wednes day night, Farley Grang er came epuip- William Ewald ped with both mustache and beard in his portrayal of young Sigmund Freud on CBS-TV's "U.S. Steel Hour" drama, "The Wound Within." The drama roughly tele scoped the years from 1886 when Freud read his paper, "On Male Hysteria," to 1892 when Freud racked up a neat medical score with a young lady named Elizabeth Von R. who was suffering from what I believe is called a hysteri cal conversion sympton a paralysis of the legs caused by a psychic wound. Inaccuracies in Script I shall skip over the inac curacies in the script-Freud's treatment of Elizabeth through hypnosis, for example when actually hers was the first significant case in which Freud departed from hypno sis; the depiction of Freud's wife as a near-shrew when actually their marriage was quite happy; the pretended meeting of Freud with his col league, Dr. Josef Breuer, af ter his marriag when actually Freud and Breuer were good friends many years before Freud's marriage. It's a dram atist's business to do what he chooses with his material if it helps him turn out a suc cessful and meaningful ve hicle. However, I'm not sure "The Wound Within" was success-' ful or meaningful. For one thing, it was constructed epi sodically - Freud seemed to spend the hour jumping from couch to couch. For another thing, there was a lack of dramatic conflict - there were indications of conflicts with his wife and the local, medi cal society, but these just pil dled out. Hollywoodish Treatment But mostly, my objection to the whole piece was its Holly woodish treatment of the Freud story. I submit there is something terribly hack neyed about a great human POLICE BUILDING 'BURNS Manila-ttJPD-Damage caused by a fire Wednesday in the Philippine Constabulary head quarters was estimated today at close to $1 million.

Bloody Fighting Plague Algeria Algiers -UPD- A fresh out burst Of bloody fighting plagued Algeria again today and heightened tension be tween Moslems and French settlers. French military headquar ters here reported 113 rebel troops were killed or captured in a two day battle in eastern Algeria. . Round-Up Opens ; At Pendleton Pendleton-(UPD-The 47th an nual Pendleton roundup opened with colorful cere mony Wednesday afternoon and ended the day's activities with a wild horse race that saw 25 cowboys sprawled in the dust. Only two events were com pleted in the first go-round, the calf roping event led by Junior Vaughn of New Mex ico in 14.5 seconds, and the bulldogging contest. In the latter, Gene Mills, Portland, leads with 6 second flat. The wild horse race, includ ed for the first time in 20 years, captured the opening crowd's enthusiasm when 27 cowboys tried to catch, saddle and ride a group of wild horses around the arena. The horses, in number, won the event. Two men finished on top of the chosen horse flesh, out of nine teams of three men each. The spectacle was more excit ing due to the number of ama teurs allowed to compete. Wednesday night's festivi ties included the first showing of the Happy Canyon pageant, depicting the coming of the white man to the West.
