Hoffa Dealings
Washington - (UPD - David
Probstein, who was produced
by the FBI Wednesday a few
hours before he would have
heen loffallv dead, was expect
ed to testify before a federal

ings with Teamster president
James R. Hoffa.
Probstein, an Indianapolis

Attv. Gen. Robert F. Ken
nedy announced that the FBI
found him after a "wine ana
oainstaking search." He said
Probstein was cooperating
with the investigation Into the
State Cab Co. in Indianapolis,
which he ran with funds pro
vided through Hoffa.
In Custody of Marshals
Probstein appeared outside
the grand Jury room in cus
tody of U.S. deputy marshals
Wednesday. At midnight Wed
nesday night, he would have
been legally presumed dead

Portland - IUPH - Wage talks
between an employer group
and another large lumber
union ended in a deadlock
here Wednesday.
The negotiations between
the Timber Operators Council
and the Lumber and Sawmill
Workers Union broke off with
neither side budging from its
previous position.
The union wants a wage
increase of 30 cents an hour
and employers maintain that
the industry cannot afford
any increase.
Identical Demands
A meeting Tuesday be
tween TOC representatives
and negotiators for the Inter
national Woodworkers of
America broke off in the
same manner. The unions are
making identical wage de
mands for both have strike
authorizations from their
members.
Karl Glos, executive vice
president of TOC, said any
further meetings are up to the
unions.
Between 55,000 and 60,000
members of the two unions
are working under a two-year
contract, but they had the op
tion of reopening wage talks
June 1,
Peniiong Upped
Employers at Wednesday s
meeting pointed out that a
5-cent hourly hike in pension
payments went into effect
June 1. They said pension
costs added in the last two
years are now costing the
lumber and wood products in-
dustry approximately $2.5
million a year.
Glos said when the indus
try granted the pension in
creases last year, it expected
to be out of an economic
slump. Instead, he said, the
market is worse and political
and civic leaders are attempt
ing to help the industry.
Plight Recognized
Representatives of both big
unions say they recognize tne
plight of the lumber industry,
but point to wage increases
granted in other industries.
Threats ot a strike have been
soft-pcrinlled.
The TOC says the average
hourly pay in the industry is
now $2.57 an hour, compared
to $2.17 an hour In British
Columbia. Canadian lumber
has been underselling North
west lumber in t h e eastern
markets. The IWA, however,
estimates the average Douglas
Fir Belt wage Is $2.18.
The Timber Operators
Council represents 191 lumber
and wood products producers
in northern California, Ore
gon, Washington and south
ern Alaska.
The IWA was scheduled to
start wage negotiations with
one of the large independent
companies, Simpson Timber
Co., here today.
