Teamsters Boycott
Being Extended
To Medford Area
A Teamsters union boycott
on Tillamook cheese is being
extended o the Medford area,
according to Robert v Shaw,
secretary-treasurer of Local
962 here.
Shaw said a survey is being
conducted today on local sales
outlets for the cheese. Grocers
and others who do not take
the cheese off their shelves
will be subject to picketing
starting "probably tomorrow,"
Shaw said.
"We don't anticipate any
trouble," Shaw commented.
"I don't imagine they'll keep
the cheese when they find out
what we intend to do."
Local people would be em
ployed as pickets if necessary,
Shaw said.
In Connection With Strike
The- boycott, reportedly be
ing extended to 11 western
states, is in connection with a
strike, now in its sixth week,
against the Tillamook Cream
ery association. Pickets ap
peared in the Portland area
yesterday, where a survey re
vealed many supermarkets
were , removing ,,. the cheese
from their shelves.
"We are going to do the
same thing they're ' doing in
Portland," Shaw said.
The Teamster action is not
intended to halt the grocery
business or stop deliveries, ac
cording to a union spokesman
in Portland. The boycott, it is
understood, is considered part
of an "advertising" campaign.
Scale Model of
UO Building OK'd
' Portland-flJPD-First steps to
ward construction of an un
usual "bridgetype" science
building at the University of
Oregon were -authorized by
the State Board of Higher
Education here Monday.
The board's building com
mittee authorized the archi
tects to spend -about $9,000 to
build a small-scale model of
the proposed building and
conduct stress tests at Oregon
State college.
It was estimated that the
tests-would permit reduction
in the amount of structural
steel used in the building and
result in a saving of up to
$50,000. '
A 'spokesman for the archi
tects, Lawrence, Tucker and
Wallman, said this type of
construction was developed
in Europe and the building
at the University of Oregon
would be the first of its kind
built in the U. S. - '
127-Year-Old History
Found in Area Garage
A 127-year-old book be
lieved to be worth at least
$500 was discovered recently
in a garage in this area.
The discoverer of the book
was Mrs. Virginia Card, pro
prietress of the Terminal
Book and Gift shop in Jack
sonville, who, as agent for
the book's owner, is currently
negotiating with the New
berry Library in Chicago for
its sale.
Black Hawk War
Entitled "A History of the
Black Hawk War, by an Old
Resident of the Military
Tract," the book bears on its
title page the words "Fort
Armstrong: 1832."
The book is printed in a
strange arrangement of letters
and symbols, unreadable ex

Card believes that it was dic

Offered $250 for Book
Two weeks ago, Mrs. Card
was offered $250 for the book
from a southern California
museum but she was told that
a mid-Western museum might
be more interested in it. She
wrote to Chicago and got a
prompt answer from the New
berry Museum, asking her to
ship the book insured for "at
least $500," for examination.
Mrs. Card is an amateur his

Owner of the horse which
died in the Canyonville state

Because of the hay truck

left Jacksonville, the group
expects to have to buy hay in

Wagon Train Greeted
An enthusiastic greeting
was given the wagon train
members last night when the
train encamped, at Cottage
Grove. More than 200 persons
attired in sunbonnets and
Centennial-type frocks for the
women and western riding
outfits for the men met the
train. . Wagonmaster Philip
Krouse, Applegate, received
the key to. the city, a large
cardboard replica, from the
Cottage Grove mayor as the
Cottage Grove German band
played.
The Cottage Grove Saddle
club raced its horses through
several competitive events for
the spectators yesterday. Miss
Garner estimated approxi
mately 50 horses participated.
The wagon train crew seems
to be generally recovering
from the wave of upset stom
achs reported at Friday's en
campment. A ' doctor diag
nosed it as light influenza,
she said. However, the young
est wagon-train member, Gary
Stewart, 3-year-old son of Mr.

mother Sunday because of the
flu.' Vic Stewart and other
members of the Stewart fam

to Corvallis.
As rain pelted down on the
encampment last night the
boys crawled under the wag

members of the train spread
large plastic sheets over them.
However, none of the mem

arrests by Communist-directed
police in Kerala State to
day and staged huge new pro

bringing to nearly 1,000 the
total number seized since
members of India's . ruling

campaign in the state last
Friday.
10 Persons Killed
Up to today, 10 persons had
been shot and killed and more
than 50 injured by Kerala's

Local members of the Con

ring up violence and giving
police an excuse to shoot anti
Red demonstrators.
In spite of the threat of
more killings, men, women
and teenagers formed pro
cessions throughout the state
again today, waving flags and
shouting "down with Commu
nism." Others picketed gov
ernment offices and state-operated
schools.
Official Rushes to Scene
The situation has become
so critical that Sadiq Ali, sec
retary of Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru's Congress
Party, rushed to Trivandrum,
Kerala's capital, to investi

with authority to order local
Congress Party leaders to call
off the demonstrations if he
discovered they were respon

City Investigates
Elements of Pool
The City of Medford is in
vestigating whether elements
of an old University of Oregon
swimming pool might be suit
able for use at the proposed
West Jackson st. pool, accord
ing to City Manager Robert
A. Duff.
Bids for demolishing the
old pool are reportedly being
called Friday by 'the univer
sity. The successful bidder is
to salvage filters and other
water treatment facilities.
Duff said today he has
asked Loren Thompson, con
sulting engineer for the West
Jackson project, to check
whether any of these facilities
could be used here.
The city's plans for develop
ing the pool site are hobbled
by a strict budget. The pur
chase of second-hand equip
ment, if practical, might lead
to savings permitting use of
more funds on other elements
of the project.
Sheriff's Office
To Get Teletype
A new teletype machine
will be installed in the Jack
son county sheriff's office
about July 1, according to
Sheriff Joe Walsh.
It will be one of the eight
machines which will be added
to the law enforcement tele
type network, according to
Director - Verne Hill, motor
vehicles department. Also
added to the network will be
one machine in the Milton
Freewater police department
and six in state police offices.
All connections are scheduled
for July 1.
The sheriffs office present
ly is sharing the expenses and
operation of a machine at the
Medford city police depart
ment. However, the heavy
traffic for the local sheriff's
office requires a separate ma
chine, Walsh explained.
With the added equipment
there will be 52 stations tied
to the master station in Salem,
it was reported.

talks today,f two
weeks before its strike dead

The agreement to resume

Copper Threat Looms
Meanwhile, the possibility

Not 'Too Proud'
It had appeared that the un

talks would result in a dead
lock. Then Monday night Mc
Donald announced in Wash

"too proud" to continue indus
try-wide talks and would
have its four-man bargaining
team on hand here today to
meet with steel negotiators.
The steel union head made
the announcement after meet

asked to see McDonald, said
"we had some very interest

Hail Collectors
Volunteer in Area
Approximately 23 hailstone
collectors have volunteered
their services for the Rogue
valley hail research program,
according to Judson Parsons,
local director.
Parsons said he has all the
hail collectors he needs. They
are distributed throughout the
valley so the hailstonescan be
gathered over a wide area.
Approximately 175 hail re
cording stations have also
been established throughout
the valley. Sheets of alumi
num foil have been wrapped
around pads of stylafoam and
mounted on pear boxes so the
pattern and density of the
hailstones can be recorded as
they hit the ground.
Some of the equipment was
stolen but is now replaced,
Parsons said. He requested
that all persons seeing the
boxes in orchards near public
thorougfares leave them alone
since each station is vital to
the hail research program.

Not Just Diplomats
Elaborating on the "slip
ups," Cross said they appar
ently, were not confined to
the diplomatic set. He said
one member of the Oregon

Cross said visiting diplo

the state when they were ar

self could not always be on

He said he believed some
of the "tensions" in the trade
