World's Merchant Paying Suez Canal United Nations. N.Y.-IUPD-The world's merchant marine next (Monday begins paying the cost of clearing the Suez Canal, blocked by Egypt when . it was threatened by the advancing forces of Israel, Britain and France in the fall of 1956. All shipping passing through the strategic waterway will pay a 3 per cent surcharge on normal tolls from that date. United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, who negotiated the arrangement with President Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab Repub lic government, hopes the costs will be paid off within three years. ' The canal was cleared in the spring of 1957 in a classic salvage operation organized and supervised by Lt. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler, a re tired U.S. Army engineer. Wheeler spent $8,376,042.87 in clearing 42 obstructions, including blockships laden with explosives and cement, from the canal between Dec. 31, 1956 and April 10, 1957. Under H a m m a r s kjold's guidance the U.N. raised $11, 227,453.22 in loans from 11 countries to finance the his toric operation. The surplus lias been refunded proportion- Douglas II.

The source said Ford was preparing the offer only as an opening gambit to start the talks moving. I Ford and the union began intensive, top-level talks on a new contract Thursday after the UAW named it as the tar get of a strike which will begin next Wednesday if an agreement isn't reached by then. A strike at Ford could halt production of 1959 model cars by all the "big three" com panies, who have been oper ating without union contracts since the end of May when the old contracts expired. There was a possibility Gen eral Motors and Chrysler might shut down their opera tions if Ford were struck. The companies hoped to prevent the UAW from using its famed "whipsaw" tech nique on them this year, and considering a strike against lade rem? eyed Russets, tops for Bi)c Marine To Segon Clearing Costs Yugoslav resources as well. The Ralph M. Parsons com pany of the United States sur veyed the damaged work shops necessary for the ca nal's operation and the Inter national Telegraph and Tele phone company and the Inter national General Electric company surveyed the needs for the waterway's telecom munications system and navi gational lighting. The trickiest jobs in the operation were the raising of the cement - laden blockship Akka and the salvage of the Egyptian frigate Abukir and the tug Edgar Bonnet. The one as a strike against all could be an answer. The "whipsaw" technique, a method of getting an agree ment from one company and then using it as a lever to get a better contract from another company, was used in con tract talks in 1953 and 1955 with Ford as the primary target in both cases. Involves One Point The source said the Ford offer would involve only one of the four major points UAW President Walter P. Reuther outlined as his objectives in contract talks with the auto companies this year. These points included an 11-cent hourly pay hike, pen sion improvements with a cost-of-living adjustment to protect retired workers from inflation, extension of the sup plemental u n e m p 1 o yment benefits plan from 26 to 52 weeks, and company - paid moving expenses for workers where jobs are shifted to new plants in other parts of the nation.

That delayed completion of the salvage almost two months. Only One Casually A U.N. crew of 479" men, including 45 divers, complet ed the project by dredging the canal to a depth for 33 foot draft ships and turned it over to the Cairo government for maintenance. The job was finished without fatalities, sx cept for one workman who drowned while off-duty. . The canal is doing more business than' ever now and is being enlarged to take big ger ships. The canal carries an average of 48 ships daily, three more than the pre-na-tionalization daily average. On Sept. 1, the canal, was opened to ships of 35-foot draft, as it was prior to the Suez crisis and the ensuing blockage. The canal will be open soon to ships of 36-foot draft. Three American firms are carrying out the widening and deepening operations, which will open it to super tankers drawing 37 feet with in two years.

Furniture Industry To For Bigger Share of By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial -Editor New York(DPD-If yours is a typical family, you prob ably spent more on liquor and j cigarettes in 1956 than you did for furni ture. And 195 6 was a good year for al most every thing else. As a matter of recorded fact, industry notes that in 1956, 83 per cent of the nation's fam ilies bought no furniture at all. In other words only 17 families in a hundred - or one in six - bought furniture in that year. With this information down on paper, the Home Furnish ings Council of America plans to crusade for a bigger share in the nation' spending pow er. The council, according to Nathan Ancel, treasurer, is planning far ahead. It is seek ing a steady build up of ad ditional business. The 1963 goal is set for $7,080,000,000, an increase of 66 per cent over the $4,278,000,000 of re tail sales for furniture in 1956. By 1968, the council looks for its business to mount to $9,900,000,000 which . would be 131 per cent higher than 1956. And that, it notes, would be only 3.3 per cent of the nation's projected discretion ary spending dollars. 10-Year Loss Ancel noted that the furni ture industry has lost 7.7 per cent of its share of consum ers' discretionary buying in the past 10 years. He found that spending for furniture per family fell to a mere $62 in 1956, a year in which the per -family spend ing on liquor was $190 and on tobacco, $115. Ancel, who is president of Baumritter Corp., a New York furniture man ufacturer, outlined the coun cil's plans to recoup the in dustry's lost business. The council plans to attack the situation from all angles. First, it plans to make peo ple conscious of the import ance of the home creation of a desire for a well-furnished home. This will be done in various ways with emphasis on creative advertising. Ancel holds that the furni ture industry must overcome the "fear" of furnishing. Many women have a fear of making a mistake in furnish ing and hence they do noth ing. Youth Groups The industry plans to work with youth groups, especially teenagers to prepare them for SP's Rate Cut Proposal Protested San Francisco- (UPD -Southern Pacific Railroad's pro posed lumber rate cuts drew protests Thursday during a hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The railroad is seeking per mission to cut lumber freight rates between Southern Ore gon and Southern California Arizona markets. The cut would benefit Southern Ore gon lumbermen by equalizing their transportation costs with Northern California for mar kets in the Southwest. Northern California truck ers, with water shippers, ap peared before the ICC this week to protest that the re duced rates would hurt their chances of competition with the railroads. Truck operator Al Blasi of Healdsburg told the commis sion Thursday that lumber rate cuts would reduce his gross revenues from lumber by 10 per cent. Slayfon Man Gets 60 Days in Jail Salem -(UPD- Daniel George Cole, 60, Stayton, was sen tenced to 60 days in jail and fined $250 in District Court Thursday. He was convicted on a charge of assault and battery on his 88-year-old father, Eu fene, whom police found liv ing in squalor in a trailer house within an electric fence enclosure behind his son's home.
