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.

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

100 Butte Falls residents also
were presented.

Solution Hinted
As Fear Grips
Saskafchewan
, Regina. 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.

De Gaulle Issues
Proclamation To
End Long Rule
Clouds of Unrest
Hang Over Nation
Algiers -ITU- Algeria be
came an independent nation
today amid scenes of wild joy
and ended 132 years of French
rule.
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

Hen Khedda is a pro-Western
leader who prefers con
tinued close working arrange

country makes its way.

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.
Two crews specially trained
in fire fighting techniques
were brought to the scene of
ihe fire at the request of
Nesheim. The 2(l-ma.. cr"w
