Authorization of
Area Project May
Come This Session
Speaking at the Jackson
Josephine counties Demo
cratic picnic Sunday, Sen.
Wayne Ft. Morse (D-Ore) said
he hoped to get authorization
of the Rogue basin project
before Congress adjourns.
"I have some hope of get
ting some emergency funds
for it this session.'' Morse
added.
"I have a tremendous re
spect for the citizen-statesmanship
of those local people
who have been pushing this
project," he told the 350 peo
ple attending the picnic in
the new Valley of the Rogue
State park near Rogue River.
Merlin Project Bill
The bill for the Merlin
project is being redrafted to j
add recreation facilities, I
Morse said. "This should be j
back in my hands in a few
days, butihere is no chance
of getting action on this bill
during the current session."
Morse, and Sens. Warren G.
Magnuson (D-Wash), and
Frank Church (D-Idaho) were
scheduled to meet with Presi
dent John F. Kennedy this
afternoon1 to discuss the Paci
fic Northwest lumber prob
lem, Morse reported.
Morse admitted the admin
istration has made a "series
of serious mistakes on the
lumber problem, but this is
because the president has not
been fully informed."
Morse blamed the U.S. for
est service, the department of
agriculture, department of
commerce, the state depart
ment and the maritime board.
He noted that the Canadian
government is subsidizing its
lumber industry both direct
ly and indirectly. The amount
of Canadian lumber shipped
to eastern markets has in
creased from 30 to 90 per
cent, he added.

Favored by Board
State Group Meeting
In Ashland Today
Ashland Preliminary
plans for one new building
and addition to another at
Southern Oregon college
were approved by the Oregon
stale board of higher educa
tion meeting here this morn
ing.

. .... i
building.
. . , . :j h, I
architect Robert J. Kceney
will be built west of the pres
ent Brilt Student center and
north of the library. It will
have a total area of 37,486
square feet, and a total esti
mated cost of $825,000. llns
includes some land acquisi
tions funds, and actual build
ing costs would be $678,071,
or about $18.11 per square
fool.
Expansion of the building
was discussed. It is planned to
construct the thre e-story
building with sufficient
strength to allow possible vor
tical expansion.
Proposes Conditioning
Board Member John Merri
ficld proposed air condition
ing for all future buildings in
the state system of higher
education. Dual plans will be
drawn for the new classroom
building, one including air
conditioning and the other ex
cluding it.
A preliminary scheme for
addition and expansion of the
present physical education
plant at the college was first
approved June 12 when pre
sented by Architects Payne
and Struble.
Additions will include two
multipurpose rooms, a swim
ming pool, classrooms, of
fices, and shower and dress
ing facilities. The only major
change in the original plans
made was deletion of a hand
ball court.
When completed, the 40.-213-square-foot
addition will
accommodate, needs of 1,000
women. Estimated cost of the
project is $606,410. .
Because of a request by
Gov. Mark Hatfield, provision
of fallout shelter facilities in
college buildings was dis
cussed. No decision was
reached on the matter.
The building committee of
the state board this afternoon
considered a proposal to pur
chase the old Ashland Gen
eral hospital, adjacent to the
college on Siskiyou blvd.

Northwest Iron
Workers Report
To Oregon Jobs
Neither Side
Lauds Settlement
By United Press International
,
Northwest Iron workers,
promised a hard-won 71 cents
wage and benefit increase
over three years, reported
back to work today to end a
record construction strike in
Oregon.
The end of the dispute came
in Washington, D.C. Saturday
on the 55th day of the strike
in Oregon and southwest
Washington. Members of Iron
workers locals at Seattle and
Spokane, out for a similar
length of time, also reported
back to work in Washington
and northern Idaho.
Four Days of Talks
The settlement followed
four days of near-marthon ne
gotiations with federal medi
ators and Labor Department
officers.
Neither side hailed it.
John J. O'Halloran, busi
ness agent for the Portland
Iron Workers local, comment
ed, "We're justifiably disap
pointed that we weren't able
to do more to remove the
inequities."
"And Secretary of Labor
Arthur Goldberg made that
clear," O'Halloran said. "He
told the employers that there
were still inequities and he
expected them to take steps to
remove them in the next three
years. He said he realized that
it couldn't be done at one ses.
sion now."
Crews of Peter Kiewil Sons
company returned to work
this morning on the construc
tion of Interstate 5 freeway
following settlement of the
iron workers strike.
Although a full new crew
was not at work on the Med
ford overhead viaduct this
morning, T. R. Hart, job su
perintendent, staled that un
ion members were represent
ed among the workers. The
crew is in the process of fin
ishing forms to pour the third
sequence of concrete over the
viaduct.
Also returning to work was
the 30-man crew on the Sev
en Oaks-Jackson st. segment
of the freeway.
