resigned as a monitor of the
Teamsters Union, has predict
ed that teamsters boss James
K. Hoffa and at least six of
his aides will be out of power
by October.
Godfrey P. Schmidt told

National Retail Hardware as
sociation convention here
Thursday that Hoffa and his
aides would either be sus
pended or ousted from the
union.
He said the labor leader
would be suspended on
charges' of misconduct and
would be made by the court
appointed board of three mon
itors. '
Last February, Schmidt
made a similar prediction. He
said legal maneuverings have
delayed the ouster of Hoffa

Schmidt supported testi
mony by New York attorney

ate Rackets Committee that
attempts were made to re
place Schmidt with- Crum as
a monitor so that Crum would
vote for Hoffa's proposals.

these approaches, and agreed
to try to draw them out in
detail to get evidence,"

I m pleased to report that
Satan and I got along fine.
It was with considerable mis
giving that I threw one leg
over the back of Satan and
'rode into the sunset.
- The last time I had been
astride a horse was when I
was pitched off on my head at
the tender age of 10 by Old
Ned, who long since has gone
to horse heaven.
In fact, I was pretty "comae
ci, eomme ca" about the whole
business of going to a dude
ranch on an Oregon State Mo
tor Assn. motorlog this spring,
but when I mentioned the pos
sibility to my family,-1 was
bowled over by the enthusastie
response.
Seeoodary Reads Used
So it was we drove the white
Ford from Portland to Pendle
ton after work one day and
began following the secondary
roads on a still hunt fof the
Bar-M Ranch, well up the Um
atilla River in the Blue Moun
tains. After a couple of false starts
and wrong turns w made it,
well after chow had gone down
for other visitors at the ranch.
But late though it was, Howard
Baker, headman of the spread,
welcomed us with hot coffee
and food and a real hearty
western "howdy."
Mostly, at a dude ranch such
as the Bar-M,-there are horses.

The Bar-M boasts not only
the eold waters of the Uma
tilla River in which fish
abound, but right alongside
that stream is a swimming
pool fed by Bingham .Hot
Springs which keep the water
at 72 degrees.
One branch of the Umatilla
has been dammed to form a
lake for boating; swings, ta
ble tennis, games (including
one called Ring-a-Pole invented
by our host, Howard Baker),
dancing, hiking, volley ball
and studying the history of the
area are some of the more
popular activities.
Then, of course, there is eating.
Three times a day we sat
down to about as big a table
of food as served to lumber
jacks. The kitchen crew,
h e a d e d by Bonnie (Mrs.
Howard) Baker, is accustomed
to big appetites whetted by all
the outdoor activity. Take
breakfast, for example: Stewed
prunes are a starter followed
by oatmeal mush', omelet, ba
con, sweet rolls and all the
milk, chocolate or coffee 'you
want to drink. The other meals
are in the same manner, with
steaks a fixture once a day.
The principal building at the
Bar-M is called Stage Coach
Inn because way back in Civil
War days it was built for that
purpose.

The lower floor will stable the

Can Comes For Riders
It doesn't take long after,

Floyd "Slim" Stong, led the
riders, good and bad, on our
weekend on the ranch.
The morning ride went up the
side of a hill where the view
of the valley floor where lies
the Bar-M is superb. This was
taken at a walk while the
greenhorns got used to the sad

the better horsemen who want
to gallop, and this was over
the trails in the valley along
the Umatilla River.
