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

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

day against lumber rate cuts
proposed by the Southern Pa

Larry Ross, a Red Bluff

proposed rate reduction
would cut his income by
about 20 per cent.
C. R. Nickerson, represent

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.

Portrayal of Freud Story
On U.S. Stee! Hour Show
Said Full of Inaccuracies

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

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.
