Construction Work
Hampered
By United Press Inttrnational
Strikes crippled construc
tion in parts of Oregon and
Washington today.
Union Pile Drivers in Port-
land failed to reach agreement
with employers to end a walk
out which started last week.
A shutdown of sand and grav
el companies in the mid-Willamette
valley was agreed on
by employers after a strike
against a Corvallis firm start
ed Monday afternoon.
An estimated $15 million
worth of construction was
idled in the Portland area by
the Pile Drivers walkout.
Albany Plants OperaU
Teamsters Union pickets ap
peared Monday at the Corval
lis Sand and Gravel company
and employers, meeting in
Salem Monday night, decided
to shutdown as a result. The
employers are members of

ation which is composed of
16 to 20 firms.
Sand and gravel plants at
Albany were still reported
operating.
No other construction was
immediately affected in Cor

How About Squirm of Worms,
Or m "Bundle of Beetles?"
We have many convenient
words whereby we group to-
gether collectively La r g e
groups of animals. We convey
. our meaning to others by the
use of these collective nouns;
Indicating we mean a consid-
. 1. 1 i : . Mn4U
ing.
We all know exactly what
is meant when someone says,
"A whole herd of cattle." Ele
phants, whales, buffalo, deer,
and many other animals also
come in "herds." We speak
of a "flock of sheep," as well
as of ducks, or various other
birds; even chickens. A group
of fish is a "school"; a col
lection of snakes is called a
"den," and the same collective
noun would indicate the
"home" of a fox, or a bear,
as well as several other crea
tures.
We call a mother pig, dog
and a few other animals who
are with their offspring a
"brood" or a "Utter." We say
the dog, or the wolf, or the
killer whale, travel or hunt,
in a "pack." A "bevy of part
ridges;" a "covey of quail"

by Strikes
Pile Drivers Union mem
bers and employers, repre
sented by Associated General
Contractors, met in Portland
Monday with a federal medi
ator but no agreement was
reached. The union members
have voted to reject a 53-cent
hourly package wage boost
spread over three years. This
was accepted by all segments
of the Carpenters Union ex
cept for Pile Drivers locals at
Astoria and Portland.
An employer statement said
it was planned to file a dam
age suit against the union.
Employers contend that the
contract accepted by other
locals applies also to the Port
land local.
Employers and the union
have been negotiating since
the first of the year with
Teamster local 324 with hoad
quarters at Salem. The union
seeks a wage increase of 25
cents an hour, three-week va
cations instead of two for em
ployees with 15 or more years
seniority, and other benefits.
Work at the SAGE plant at
Camp Adair could be affected
by a general tieup.
Road Work Threatened
The strike in Washington
threatened highway, freeway
and heavy construction" work
in western Washington as well
as the Yakima, Ellensburg
and Wenatchee areas in east
ern Washington.
The principal issue in dis
pute was the hiring hall pro
cedure. This also is the main
issue in the Pile -Drivers

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watlcins
just means a number of the
birds, all together. A large,
number of bees is a "swarm,'
while an equal, or lesser num
ber of ants is called a "col
ony." A group of ducks is a
"flock," but if the creatures
we are grouping together hap
pens to be a number of geese,
we call them a gaggle.
Cats Elude Us
But we fall flat on our col
lective faces when we "attempt
to describe a number of cats;
there seems to be no satisfac
tory way to gather a group of
these animals under one sim
ple name; about the best we
can do is say. "a whole bunch
of cats." Seems that cats do
not gather in groups. How
ever the lion, with one excep
tion, the largest of the entire
feline family, lives in com
pany with others of his, or
her kind, and in such cases is
called a "pride of lions."
Sometimes we try, with ri
diculous results, to coin words
and phrases to describe some
of the animals we observe;
there are "swarms of mosqui
toes," but no one would ever
call them a "flock," or a
"bevy." Some say a "swarm
of bees" when they are hang
ing in a tree, should be called
"drip of bees,'' and' someone
else, equally facetious, report
ed he had seen a "herd of tur
tles." We readily recognize what
is implied when someone re
ports "an army of ants," but
seldom do we hear of a "show
er of snakes," or a "storm of
scorpions." There should be
room, and perhaps a partial
need, for such a collective
noun, or phrase, representing
some of the creatures so far
neglected.
There is no sensible reason
why we shouldn't indicate a
"crowd" of the right kind, of
bugs as a "bundle of beetles,"
or a "squirm of worms." It
would seem as reasonable as
a few we already have, and
use occasionally, such as a
"pride of lions," a "gaggle of
geese," and the one you so
seldom hear, "a smother of
spiders"

Trudy S-After a marriage
of nearly 19 years I recently
discovered that my husband
has been involved with anoth
er woman. '
This woman is 29, more
than 15 years younger than
my husband. She is a divorcee
and a very unbalanced per
son. She has been involved
with several men in the past
few years, but none of these
affairs have lasted as long as
the one with my husband. I
am sure she cannot make a
happy marriage with anyone.
In addition, there are our
two daughters. They are 16
and 13, the very ages when
they are likely to be most
hurt by the breakup of our
home. I have pleaded with
my husband to consider them,
but nothing seems to have any
effect on him. I don't intend
to divorce him, but he is al
ready living apart from us.

would give to the agencies

of conservation of natural re

The things that have hap

should it bother anyone else?

The Council: Jrudy gives
some oddly . - rational argu
ments for a woman who has
been betrayed. She is con
cerned about the unlikelihood
of her husband's finding hap
piness with the other wom
an. She is concerned about
the welfare of her daughters.
The latter is, of course,
understandable. Yet this is
one occasion in which an
emotionally involved woman
might speak for herself first.
Trudy says nothing of her
own feelings. Possibly she is
too deeply hurt to plead in
her own behalf. Or, possibly,
she has been emotionally dis
interested in her husband for
so long that she really feels
very little concern on this
score.
In either case, it is evident
that things were amiss with
this marriage before "the oth
er woman" entered the scene.
Extramarital romance doesn't
just accidentally come to any
one. It must be sought, con
sciously or otherwise.
If' Trudy were willing to
recognize that she may have
been at fault to some degree
in the failure of the marriage
and if she were to admit to
herself and her husband that
she would like to have him
back because she cares for
him enough to try to forgive,
to understand, to make
changes, she might find that
her hand has been strength
ened. It is true that Trudy will
find itdifficult to display love
and humility when her hus
band has displayed coldness
and arrogance, but if she sin
cerely wants to revive her
marriage, she will be willing
to use some emotional shock
power instead of opposing
duty vand dry reasoning to the
glamour of her husband's illi
cit romance.

621 East Jackson, Medford Ph. SP 2-2990
Reid has been nominated as
ambassador to Israel; Dillon
as undersecretary of state.
Reid went on the witness
stand near the close of a
stormy session in which Dem
ocratic' senators even levelled
fire at their own chairman,
Sen. J. W. Fulbright (Ark.).
Judgment Questioned .-' -
Unexpected criticism to Dil
lon broke out when Sen. Rus
sell B. Long (D-La.) denounc
ed what he called Dillon's
"absolutely foolhardy" admin
istration of the foreign aid
program as undersecretary
for ecdnomic affairs.
Threatening to vote against
Dillon, Long told the official
"from some of the things you
have represented to, us" in
previous testimony "I ques
tion your judgment." ,
Reid faces lengthy question
ing about his qualifications
under the committee's new
policy of rigidly screening all
non-career diplomats.
Fulbright was chastised by
Senators Wayne Morse (D-
Ore.) and Long when he sug
gested that questions about
government secrecy might
better wait until later when
Dillon is to appear in a closed
session.
Dillon's nomination had
been expected to sail through
the Committee without oppo
sition and Long's critical
blasts came as a surprise.
First 'Test Case'
The 34-year-old Reid, for
mer president and editor of
the New York Herald-Tribune,
was regarded as the first "test
case" of the committee's new
policy of rigidly screening
non-career diplomats.
' There were no indications
that his appointment would
be rejected. But several Dem
ocratic senators made it clear
that the State Department
Land Reid himself would have
to make a strong case for the
nomination.
Dillon, on the other hand,
appeared certain of winning
quick approval. Like Reid,
Dillon is in the "non-career"
class but he has been con
firmed twice previously for
government posts and mem
bers are familiar with his
work.
Reid's case took on added
significance because of the re
cent furor over Senate ap
proval of Clare Boothe Luce
as ambassador to Brazil and
her resignation three days lat
er. He was. nominated before
the Luce row boiled up.
Should Justify Nomination
Fulbright, advocate of few
er "political" appointments
and . more career diplomats,
had made it clear he was not
gunning for Reid but felt the
New Yorker should be requir
ed to justify his nomination.
Morse, whose opposition re
sulted in Mrs. Luce's resigna
tion, said he had an open
mind on Reid. Morse said:
"I'll just wait to see the facts
as they develop."
