Regional Edition MEDFORDlaifc 18 Pages MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1962 No. 123 "A national task force," Meany said, would oe named to gain the 35-hour week through collective bargain ing. But he said the executive council would not "put pres sure on individual affiliates." Asked if the committee had established a deadline for getting the 35-hour week into operation, Meany said, "We will go just us fast as we can possibly go." Meany said he based his opinion on a winter recession on "economic indicators." He said the unemployment rate had exceeded 5 per cent for 57 consecutive months. That, he said, was the main reason for the committee's action. Asked if he saw any change in President Kennedy's alti tude toward a shorter work week, Meany said: "Mr. Ken nedy is trying to be President of the United States for all persons in the United States. He is not trying to woo busi ness and he is not trying to woo us. We've been wooed before." 1 Calls for Tax Cut The council also recom mended a tax cut calling for a $100 tax "forgiveness" for every taxpayer. This would mean withholdings from pay checks would be $10 less each month for 10 months. July estimates indicated 5.3 per cent of the U.S. labor force remained jobless at the start of this month. This was a reduction from the June fig ure but most of the amount represented teen - agers who found jobs. Pressure for militant action against James Hoffa's Team sters, expelled from the AFL CIO five years ago, will come from the -Communications Workers of America and the Seafarers International Union.

Beirne, CWA president, will demand that the AFL-CIO establish a rival Teamsters' union to raid the Hoffa organization.

(UPI) Lumber Industry Help Object of Three Meetings Seattle IDPIt Northwest lumbermen were to start a se-1 ries of meetings in three cities today in an effort to win tar iff and shipping changes. A delegation was to meet here today and in Portland Tuesday with staff members of the U.S. Tariff commission to present evidence support ing proposed tariffs on Cana dian lumber. Robert Dwycr, co-chairman of the Lumberman's Econom ic Survival committee, said the commission was sending an economist, an accountant and a forest specialist to meet with the lumbermen.

Part of Statement Steps toward trimming lum ber imports from Canada were part of President Ken nedy's lumber statement a few weeks ago. Dwycr said another lumber delegation was to meet in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to seek backing for shipping changes. Northwest lumbermen want amendments to the Jones act to permit them to send lum ber to the East coast on less expensive foreign ships. Dwycr said senators and congressmen from the south have expressed fear that this would flood their markets with Western lumber. He said the Northwest lum bermen would try to convince the southerners their purpose Is to attain a more competi tive position with Canada. Railroads Ask Order Be Dropped Chicago - IUPH - The nation's railroads today asked a fed eral court to wipe out a re straining order which pre vents them from starting an economy drive that eventual ly would eliminate 63,000 jobs. Judge Elmer J. Schnacken berg of the U.S. Court of Ap peals gave union attorneys until noon Tuesday to an swer the railroad's petition. Schnaekenburg said he will rule Wednesday as to wheth er he wants a hearing or will rule on briefs.

The AFL-CIO said the proposed work rules against feather bedding would be "almost In human from the point of view of the employees." Schwensen Heads For Term in Prison Portland - IfPIi - Richard B.

Soblen's attorneys said they would fight "tooth and nail" an order by the home office that the psychiatrist be de ported, despite Israel's El Al Airline's refusal to fly him to New York. They said they would carry the fight to the high court Tuesday. Seeks Second Writ The British government ad mitted Soblen, now in his 44th day on English soil, would not be deported "for a few days at least." Soblen, 61, now seeks his second writ of habeas corpus from the high court. He was granted the first writ in chal lenging the validity of his de tention here, but was turned down in a plea to be sent to the country of his choice. He Jumped $100,000 bail in New York last June 25 and fled to Israel to avoid begin- ning his prison term for war time spying. Israel deported Soblen, but he wounded him self on a New York-bound El Al flight and had lo be re moved for hospitalization here July 1. Orders Refused El Al has refused three orders by the British govern' mcnt to resume Soblen's self' Interrupted flight to the Unit ed States. This resulted in the latest order that Soblen 'be deported "on a plane leaving the United Kingdom. The Israeli foreign ministry said in Tel Aviv Sunday night that if El Al had obeyed the order to fly Soblen to the United States it would have been "in contradiction" to Is raeli law. The ministry said in a state ment that when Soblen was expelled from Israef the coun try s part in the case was terminated."

Bloodmobile Medford Today, Tuesday Some 70 persons have made appointments for the visit to Medford today and Tuesday of the Red Cross Bloodmobile. Mrs. J. W. Burba, county blood program chairman, re minded residents today that drop-ins will be welcome both days. The bloodmobile will be at the Red Cross chapter house, 60 Hawthorne ave., today from 2 to 6 o'clock and Tues day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The quota is for 350 pints for which 400 donors are needed. Mrs. Burba explained that persons between the ages of No Indication Given of Early Return to Earth Both Report Feeling Well Moscow - (WD - One of two Soviet cosmonauts orbiting the globe at almost 18.000 miles an hour tonight com pleted a journey of a million miles, a distance equal to two round trips to the moon. There was no sign that either space ship was about to re turn to earth any time soon. Radio Moscow announced that Maj. Adrian Nikolayev, 32, had completed 37 orbits in the spaceship Vostok III by 8 a.m. (PST). The radio also announced that Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich, 31, in the space ship Vostok IV had completed 21 orbits by the same hour. The announcement said both cosmonauts were con tinuing to carry out their sci entific and technical assign ments in space, including oper ating their space ships by manual control. Good Appetites Both cosmonauts reported they ate dinner with a good appetite tonight and that they felt well. They said the equip ment in both their ships was functioning normally. Both men reported they felt fine as they continued to loop around the globe about once every 88 minutes. In 35 or bits, Nikolayev had journeyed more than 875,000 miles, and in 19 orbits Popovich fmore than 475,000 miles. Radio Moscow scheduled further live television trans missions from space today, in dicating that they may be up for al least another night. Earlier interceptions out side the Soviet Union of mes sages to the space ships had Indicated an nninent landing of at least one of them. Landing Time In Doubt Soviet leaders, from Pre mier N i k i t a Khrushchev down, kept the world guessing as to Just how long Nikoleyev and Popovich would be kept aloft in their twin rides through space. .In a message to the two cosmonauts after Nikolayev had rounded out two full days in orbit and Popovich one full day, Khrushchev told them by radio he wished them "a suc cessful fulfillment of the planned flight program and a happy landing." Observers noted Khrush chev's care In making no ref erence to what the "planned flight program" was or when the landing would come. Japanese and Swedish sta tions and space observatories intercepted Russian language messages indicating one of the spaceships was preparing to land. But as the day wore on, Vostok III, launched Satur day morning and Vostok IV,. blasted up besido it Sunday morning, were flying almost in formation on what looked like a marathon expedition. A Soviet astronautlcal ex pert said the two spaceships are pioneering the way for the establishment of "space sta tions" which would act as de parture points for future voyages farther out into the cosmos. Lookouts Being Manned by District Southwest district office of the state forestry department placed five fire lookouts back on duty today. They had been brought down during last week's wet weather. . Only Tallowbox lookout in the Applcgate area was kept manned during the rainy spell. Rogue River National for est's 13 lookouts were all back In service as of Sunday after being down for various pe riods. The 25-man special fire suppression crew stationed at Star Ranger station has re turned from Its assignment on the Toiyabe National forest In Nevada. To Be. in 21 and 50 may donate blood while persons 18 and 21 must have guardians consent before they may donate. Persons may donate a pint of blood every two months, Mrs. Burba said, but not more than five pints . a year. The Bloodmobile will go from Medford to Grants Pass where lt will be at the Elks club from 1 to 7 p.m. on Wed nesday, Aug. 15. Appointments may be made for the Medford visit by tele phoning 773-3813, the Red Cross office. i 'J 1
