Contractors To Ask Other Groups To Do Iron Work By United Press International Members of the Willamette Gentral Contractors Associa tion in mid-Willamette Valley will continue work on their construction projects without members of the striking Iron Workers union, executive sec retary Pat Blair announced Monday. Blair said in Salem the con tractors would ask carpenters and building laborers to tie the steel. Such action would leave it up to the Iron Work ers to decide if they wanted to picket all the projects, and then leave the carpenters and laborers with a decision on whether or not to cross the picket lines. Blair said work on some projects in the Salem-AIbany-Corvallis area has been going on under those conditions without any picketing by iron workers, but some other jobs had been jhut down, either hecausu of pickets or lack of workers to do the iron work. He said the Willamette As sociation has no intention of signing a contract with the Iron Workers. He said most large iron jobs involving members of the association are sub-contracted to big steel firms, anyhow. S10 Million Involved Members of the association are involved in construction projects worth about S10 mil iion. In Portland, Associated General Contractors issued a statement saying the real reason the union refused to allow the dispute to be arbi trated is that its demands will not stand up under public scrutiny. The employers previously had proposed the dispute be handed to the Joint Appeals Board for arbitration, but the union rejected the idea, saying the board could not take juris diction where there was a work stoppage. Canad'iM Doctor At least one inquiry from a Saskatchewan doctor has hern received by a Rogue Val ley physician regarding the possibility of practicing in the area. The Utter was received about a month ago. prior to the start of the health pro gram in Saskatchewan where physicians are now striking. Although no inquiries have born received by other doc tors so far as is known, the letter received contained in quiries for himself and his as sociates. Officers of the Jackson County Medical Society have not received any inquiries, and noted that doctors would encounter "licensing p r o b lems" if moving outside of Canada. NEWS!

Ironworkers Picket !Two Sfofe Projects Salem - 'I'Fl' - Ironworker pickets appeared today at jllillcrest School for Girls and 'at Fairview Home, shutting down work on four projects a! the two state institutions. BRIEFS AlOONft THI OlOtl Scenic Oregon (Oegon State with fossil Boundary ! The petitions, presented by Medford Lawyer Frank Van Dyke, requested straightening of the boundaries between the two districts by transfer ring properties south of Bar nett rd., not including the Rogue Valley Manor, and within the Medford city lim its, plus a small area west of Barneburg hill. This is one of several at tempts made in the last two years to transfer the Barnett rd. area to the Medford dis trict. Acts In Two Capacities Under state law, the rural ' school board now acts as both boundary board and school district reorganization com mittee. The petitions were re ceived by the reorganization committee. After signatures are check ed, the petitions must be sub mitted to the state board of education. If the petitions are approv ed, a public hearing is set. j Then the rural board, acting as a reorganization commit tee, may accept or deny the petitions. However, voters in either Medford or Phoenix school district may remonstrate over the board's decision if peti tions of remonstrance are sign ed by 10 per cent of the legal voters in either district, or at least by 50 people. Election Called Following such a remon strance, an election would be called in both districts. If a majority of the voters in each district approve the proposed transfer, it becomes effective the July 1 following the elec tion. Acting as a boundary board last night, the rural" school board denied the transfer of property from Butte Falls to Eagle Point school district. The properly i nvolves 40 acres on the Butte Falls high way leased to Eva McCor mick. Nine Butte Falls people pro tested the proposal, not want ing to lose the property valu ation and the three McCor miek children involved. Pe titions of protest signed hy 100 Butte Falls residents also were presented.

Sask.-CTP-A wave of fear spread today through this vast province where hun dreds of doctors were on strike in protest against Sas katchewan's new socialized medicine law. i Doctors were available for emergency cases only and ail ing citizens were traveling ! miles from their homes to i seek medical attention. I Some of Saskatchewan's I one million residents blame ! the striking doctors for the ' crisis which has deprived ; them of normal medical serv ice. Others contend the fault : lies with the socialist govcrn i mcnt of Premier Woodrow j Lloyd. I But everyone agrees that j something must quickly be done to end the bitter dispute. If unresolved over a prolong I cd period of time, many cit . izens would find themselves i at the mercy of disease and injury. Seeks Compromise Solution A faint hope lor a break through emerged Monday night when Lloyd suggested that an "impartial" public body be selected to examine the possibility of a compro mise solution. There was no immediate reply in Lloyd's proposal from the doctors who earlier said that a complete scrapping of the medicare plan was an indispensable condition for the resumption of normal medical service. The battle between Lloyd and the province's 900 doc tors, which has been raging in government and medical circles for severai months, be gan touching the daily lives of Saskatchewans two days ago, when the premier's con troversial plan became law.

The green-and-white flag of A 1 Kf r i a was u n f u r I cd from nearly every building in the country as excited Algerians ushered in the new nation. Algeria Moslem girls wore green skirts and white blouses to celebrate their independ ence. Young Moslem men wore green berets and white shirts, and cycled through the streets crying "Yahia FLN" and "long live Moslem Al geria." The people verted over whelmingly for independence in a referendum held Sunday. Formal Proclamation President Charles de Gaulle accepted that result and issued a formal proclamation in Paris today saying that "France recognizes solemnly the inde pendence of Algeria." French High Commissioner Christian Fouchet gave Pro visional Executive President Abderrahmane Fares the text, of De Gaulle's proclamation in a ceremonial transfer of sov ereignty at the Rocher Noir administrative headquart e r s near Algiers. Shortly afterwards, the French government an nounced the appointment of Jean-Marcel Jcanneney, 51, as France's first "ambassador and high representative"' to in dependent Algeria. He re places Fouchet as France's chief representative here. Violence Continues But, even as the formalities of independence went ahead, there were some ominous clouds on the horizon. Bitter end terrorists of the Secret Army Organization set off three plastic bombs in Oran, causing little damage and slightly injuring only one per son. There were reports of a struggle for power within the Algerian nationalist govern me nt itself, with the forces of Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda arrayed against those of Vice Premier Mohammed Ben Bella, one of the "fath ers" of the 7' j-year-long struggle that ended in inde pendence. Ben Bella wants thorough going Socialist reforms and an Algeria with no ties at all to IV.neo and i-lncor nlinnmnnl with the Communist bloc. I Hen Khedda is a pro-Western leader who prefers con tinued close working arrange ments with France as the new country makes its way.

I 350-Ac re Being Mopped Up Near Rogue River About 100 men are mopping up a 350-acre grass and brush fire southeast of Rogue River today. The fire apparently began about 2 p.m. Monday one quarter of a mile from Rogue River along a county road. Cause of ihe fire was not immediately determined. Rogue River Rural Fire de partment chief Douglas Buck les said his department was called to the scene, but the blaze was too far out of con trol for the department's four trucks and 10 men to contain. A moderate wind blew the fire in a northeasterly direc tion up a small ridge between Wards creek and the Rogue river. A 70-man crew fighting the blaze last night kept it from cresting the ridge. 'Hie fire was contained shortly before 8 o'clock this morning, Curtis Nesheim. dis trict warden of the Oregon stale department of forestry said. Garage Said Destroyed A garage near the county road was reported destroyed, hut no other buildings were in danger.
