Four-Day Vork Yeek Scheduled By Two Firms ' - .Portland-CPO-The Long-Bell Division of International Pa per Company has announc ed four-day work weeks in their plywood plants in Ore gon would go into effect right away. . . Affected would be the Coos Bay and Roseburg plants of Evans and the Vaughan and Gardiner factories of Inter national Paper. Shrinking orders and lower prices were major factors" in the decisions in . the 20 per cent cutback. ' Evans' president E. S. Evans Jr. said the four-day work week was ordered throughout the firm's Pacific coast oper-1 ation. Output Catches Up The plywood industry re cently was on an overtime ba sis to meet buying demands. Industry sources indicated output now has caught up with the demand. The recent demand was at tributed to a boxcar shortage which failed to develop and to low warehouse inventories at the ' start of the spring season. Plywood sheathing has dropped about $6 to $8 from its $112 to $114 peak level on s-inch - CD . grade. Sanded panels still were at their $85 price on Vi-inch AD index 'grde. About one-twelfth of all farm land in the United States grows cotton as a crop and one-fifth of the nation's farm en plant and harvest cotton as a major money crop. Back Stairs: Ike and the Senators By HYKKDND LAHR UPI Cs-ssondtnt Washington -flTIU Now that the Washington Senators are fielding an exciting if not championship baseball team. President E i s hewer may make nore ise of his gold plated season pass. v He has visited Griffith Sta dium to watch the ball-play-- ing Senators only 11 times since he moved into the White House six years ago last January.-On six of those occas ions, he went to perform the ceremonial function of throw ing out the first ball at the opening game of the season. Wants 'Fighting Chance' During a news conference last year, the President made no secret of the fact that he thought Washington should have "a little better ball club than the perennial tail-enders in the American League. He admitted that be was not a paying customer but said that he would be attend ing "a good number" of night eames if the team "had a fighting chance, on the aver age, of getting into the first division." , Eisenhower stunned many baseball - minded politicians his first year in office by an nouncing that he was going to Georgia for a golfing holw day instead ol exercising his prerogative to throw out the first ball to open the major league season. They were sure he was offending those mil lions of baseball fans who follow what the sport writers call our national pastime. On Hand fox Pitch Rain forced a postponement of that 1953 game, however. and the President found him self in Washington - to de liver a speech - when the I (0)UJJ Port of Entry : Proven 42.$ MPO in Actual TttU Imported From Paris By Chrysler DICK KNIGHT CO.

He was in the stands too, for each of the next five opening games but was in Georgia again this year when the opening game was played. He made it to the ball park for the first time this year on May 29 when the Senators were indeed fighting to get into the first division. By de feating the Boston. Red Sox that day, Washington' moved into fourth place. Two days and three games later,' they were in a virtual tie for last last place. Despite that fast tumble, Washington appears to have a livelier team than it has had in years, and Eisenhower is expected to visit the ball park more often. CENTRAL POINT Pony Express To Stop By.
