Settlement Believed Near
in Iron Worker Negotiations
Wasliinslon-aiPD-Amid pre
dictions a settlement may be
close, talks between contrac
tors and iron workers con
tinued until the early morn
ing hours today and then re
sumed at 10 a.m.
Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.)
said she was advised by the
Labor Department that a set
tlement could come today.
Mrs. Green said a member
of the department who sat in
on the talks told her the
talks already have settled "all
the issues except one-wages."
The sessions were held be
hind closed doors. But observ
ers saw a hopeful sign in the
fact the talks were continuing
late into the night and resum
ing again in less than eight
hours.
The sessions arc aimed at
ending an iron workers strike
that started in the northwest
nearly two months ago. The
record Oregon construction
dispute has stalled many proj
ects. Construction also has
slowed to a crawl in the Scat
tie and Spokane regions.
The talks here started Wed
nesday and ran until about
5:30 a.m., (EDT) Thursday.
They resumed again Thurs
day morning, continued until
2:30 a.m. today, and started
again at 10 a.m.
Special mediator John Dun
lop, presiding over the talks,
impoied a news blackout. The
two sides were scheduled to
have started tackling the ma
jor stumbling block to an
agreement - wage and henefit
increases.

sharply criticized plans for the
development of the proposed
new Medford high school and
warned members of the school j

The attack was made dur

authorize the city manager to
acquire appraisals and nego

the high school site on Rob

The proposal to allow the
city manager to obtain ap

property was finally passed
unanimously after an attempt
by Robinson to amend it fail
ed by a 5 to 2 vote
Robinson called the coordin
ated plan "unrealistic" and
said a group was already
formed to fight the proposal.
School Board Chairman
Keith Hockcrsmith said he
was puzzled by Robinson's
statements and that he had
understood the council was
solidly in favor of the school
park program.
"It was a member of your
administration, City Planner
Ned Langford, who first came
to us to suggest the coopera

correct, that the council and

disagree with the whole plan.
He said the taxpayers would

Fiscal Year
Budget Deficit
$6.3 Billion
Washington ilTl1 The
federal government clos
ed out iti fiscal year
June 30 with a budget
deficit of S6.3 billion, a
bit smaller than the ad
ministration had esti
mated. The government an
nounced Thursday that
spending for fiscal 1962
totaled S87.7 billion. Tax
revenues were $81.4 bil
lion.
The deficit was the
10th in 16 fiscal years
since World War II. For
mer Presidents Harry S.
Truman and Dwighl D.
Eisenhower each had
three of the six surplus
years.
The 56.3 billion defi
cit for last year was
about $700 million, or 10
per cent leu than the ad
ministration t advance
estimate.
Council Postpones
Action on Revised
Fire Code in City
Action on a proposal to
adopt a revised Medford fire
code was postponed until at
least the middle of August
after a Medford attorney told
the city council last night he
felt parts of the proposed code
moved into "new territory."
Edward Branchfield, repre
senting a group of downtown
businessmen, said the revised
code needed more study and
clarification before adoption.
The attorney's remarks
came after Councilman Stan
Stark had proposed adoption
of the code after deletion of
the section on sprinkler sys
tems, which he conceded was
"controversial."
Branchfield reminded the
council that the court had en
joined the city from enforc
ing the sprinkler system sec
tions in the present code,
which provides the systems be
installed in basements ot cer
tain sized buildings.
Sections Vaguely Stated
Further, he said, there are
sections in the revised code,
particularly the one dealing
with explosives, which are
vaguely stated or which move
into unprecedented areas of
fire prevention.
Brancficld suggested that if
the code were adopted, prop
erty owners would need a
period of time to familiarize
themselves with it and effect
compliance. Without such
grace period, he said, it would
be possible some businesses
might be forced to close.
At the suggestion of Coun
cilman Donald Hansen,
Branchfield agreed to meet
with the city administration
in the near future to discuss
problem areas in the revised
code.
City Manager Robert Duff
today, however, expressed
confidence in the revised f're
code as it now stands.
"The city has strengthened
certain sections of the code,"
he said, "and we profited
from the court's decision in
the suit over enforcement of
the sprinkler system provi
sions." The old code stipulated that
buildings with a basement of
3,500 square feet must have
a sprinkler system. The re
vised code has reduced the
square footage to 2.500 feet.
Duff said.

Troops Break Up
Mobs of Youths
Lima, Pcru-H'PH- Peru's la
! bor unions rallied the coun
try's workers today for a gen
eral strike to protest the mili
tary seizure of the govern
ment. I Two days after their coup
d'etat, the armed forces lead
ers appeared in solid control
j despite the strike threats, stu-
dent demonstrations and hem-
j ispheric opposition to their
i takeover.
Thursday night armed
troops and police broke up
mobs of screaming youths de
fying the ruling military jun
ta. The recurity forces shot
over the heads of the youths
who surged through Lima s
downtown streets crying
"Freedom, freedom."
Sugar Workers Strike
The General Labor Confed
eration called on the nation's
workers to comply with an
agreement reached a few
weeks ago to strike in the
event of a coup.
Textile workers and stu
dents at the University of San
Marcos announced they will
join 12.000 sugar workers in
the north who went on strike
Thursday. A telephone strike
has been in progress for sev
eral days.
The sugar area in the north
has a strong following for Vic
tor Raul Haya de la Torre,
leader of the American Popu
lar Revolutionary Alliance,
whose feud with the armed
forces was an underlying
cause of the coup.
Observers did not' regard
the strikes and demonstra
tions so far as any serious
threat to the four-man ruling
junta which overthrew Presi
dent Manuel Prado in a blood
less coup Wednesday.
Mariano Ignacio Prado, a
relative of the ousted Presi
dent, was released Thursday
night by the junta after two
days of detention. He said he
was held with Manuel Prado
aboard the navy ship Callao.
Mariano Prado said the
former president was In "per
fect health," and would be
freed "very soon, probably

Harassment Seen in
Berlin Corridors
B e r I I n IIIPII The Soviet
Union today appeared to have
opened a new campaign of
harassment against Allied air
traffic in the Berlin corri
dors. Soviet jet fighters have
buzzed Western Allied trans
ports at least twice this week
the first such action since
March when the Russians
ended a two-month attempt to
restrict the airlanes between
West Germany and West
Berlin.
Both buzzings occurred
Tuesday. The U.S. mission
said it had protested both to
the Russian representative at
Berlin's four-power air safety
center.
One Russian jet made a
pass at a U.S. Federal Avia
tion Agency transport flying
to Berlin to lest radar and
navigational aids. The pass
was said to have been clearly
deliberate.
Another flew dangerously
close to a commercial trans
port just after it took off on
a flight to West Germany, an
American spokesman said.
Western officials were not
.sure the second buzz was de
liberate but they said the
Russian plane had no right to
be at the same altitude and
place at the same time as a
Western craft.
