Demonstrations
Algiers -1W- Violent gun
fire today shattered Algerian
independence celebrations in
the port city of Oran, once the
stronghold of the terrorist Eu
ropean Secret Army organization.
First reports, believed to be
conservative, said seven or
eight persons were killed and
an undetermined number of
others wounded. But Moslem
nationalist sources put the
number of dead at at least 30.
The reason for the shooting
was not clear hours after the
firing had ceased, but it ap
parently followed an exhub-
erant overflow of Moslems in
to the European quarters of
the city.
The Nationalist army this
afternoon clamped a curfew
on Oran and ordtred all citi
zens to remain indoors. Their
action was taken in agree
ment with French authorities.
Joy in Algiers
In Algiers, where public
demonstrations of joy at the
granting of independence and
the return of the provisional
government built up into a
wild frenzy that seemed to
be getting out of hand, the
government ordered an end
to the demonstrations tonight.
On the political front, the
forces of Premier Benyoussef
Ben Khedda and those of dis
sident Vice Premier Moham
med Ben Bella vied for pow
er. But responsible leaders
expressed confidence the cris
is could be ended without
civil wi-r or bloodshed.

Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas Vella, owner of the

resuming full operations.
Vella said three more men
would return tomorrow, and
the remaining employees

Secondary Boycott
Charges Filed
P'ortland-IUPII-A federal me
diator said today a tentative
meeting has been scheduled
Monday between striking
Iron Workers and contractors
in an attempt to settle the dis
pute which has crippled con
struction in many areas of
Oregon and southwest Wash
ington. Mediator George Walker
said this morning the meeting
had not firmed up but that it
was hoped to have one either
here or in Seattle. Iron
Workers also are on strike in
the Seattle area and in East
ern Washington and Northern
Idaho.
Picketing concentrated to
day in the Willamette valley.
Picketing Successful
John J. O'Halloran, busi
ness agent and secretary of
Iron Workers Local 29, said
all jobs in the Willamette
General Contractors area
were being picketed "with
practically 100 per cent sue
cess.
The strike started late in
May when negotiations for a
three - year contract broke
down.
O'Halloran said We are
ready to meet, either here or
in Seattle."
The strike has affected
some S6 million worth of
work in the Corvallis area
and at state institutions in
the Salem area, in addition to
work shut down earlier in
cluding the Hilton hotel and
Standard plaza in Portland.
The union recently reject
ed an employer proposal to
submit the dispute to the Na
tional Joint Board of Ap
peals. In Salem, contractor spokes
man Pat Blair said that work
was continuing at the Corval
lis High school project, but
most other work was halted
where pickets were up in the
valley. Blair said it was hop
ed work would resume at
Corvallis today on the Blue
Lake Packers' plant job, the
laying of wire mesh by mem
bers of the Laborers' union.
Blair announced the filing
of a secondary b o y c ot t
charge against the Carpen
ters' Union, Salem Local No.
1065. The charge, filed with
the National Labor Relations
Board in Portland, says the
union illegally threatened and
coerced its members in avoid

vada's LU Gov. Rex Bell, one
time western movie idol and

Clara Bow, died of a heart at
tack Wednesday night shortly
after greeting supporter ot
his gubernatorial bid at
Fourth of July picnic.
Only hours before, the col
orful, 58-year-old campaigner
who brought his filmland flair
for western attire into his
everyday life, had spoken at
a Republican Independence
Day rally to boost his candi
dacy for governor.
As he would have wanted
it, and in the tradition of the
cowboys he portrayed so many
times on the screen, he died
with his boots on.
The friendly, hand-shaking
politician was a familiar
sight in most every Nevada
city-alwaya attired in color
ful western garb, a white ten
gallon hat and tand-tooled
leather boots. And he headed
numerous parades with his fa
miliar while horse.
Bell's death threw the 1962
GOP gubernatorial election
holies into turmoil. Republi
cans had high hopes that Bell
could wrest the state house
from incumbent Democrat
Gov. Grant Sawyer.
The silver-haired politician
collapsed at the home of Mia
Katie Jenkins shortly before
dinner.
Survivors include his wid
ow and two sons. Rex An
