at this Portland suburb's small
airport Sunday instead of at
the Portland International
Airport 10 miles away.
Dr. Richard Gorrell, Maquo

trip to Portland, looked out
the window as the DC8 set
down with some shock at what
he thought was Portland's
"small, shoddy" airport.
Landed by Mistake
Then the intercom announc
ed, "Ladies and gentlemen, we
have inadvertently landed at
the Troutdale field by mis
take." United Air Lines said the
pilot, coming in for a visual
landing, made "a mistaken
identity in airports."
The big jet, which usually
used an 8.000 to 10.000-foot
runway, braked hard but oth
erwise landed without trouble
on the 4,660-foot runway here
about 4:18 a.m.
No one on the Chicago-to-
Portland flight was hurt. The
surprised passengers were fer
ried by bus to Portland where
58 continued to Seattle.
The jet, Troutdale airport's
most impressive visitor in a

planes that usually use the
field. A tractor was brought

George Meahy, AFL-CIO
! president, told a news con
ference he personally feels
the nation is headed toward
a winter recession and the
shorter work week would
ease the blow.
Meany said the drive for
the 35-hour week, opposed by
the Kennedy administration,
would be carried out on two
fronts - in the legislative
chambers and at the bargain
ing table.
Biggest Obstacle
Meany said he would head
a special committee to get
Congress to slash five hours
off the present 40-hour week.
He said he expected Congress
would provide the 35 -hour
week's biggest obstacle.

"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

A CWA union trial board
last week convicted 21 CWA
leaders of conspiring to with
draw 18,000 members and af
filiate them with the Team
sters. Joseph A. Beirne, CWA
president, will demand that
the AFL-CIO establish a rival
Teamsters' union to raid the

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.
The lumber industry was to
be represented In Portland bf
Mel Prawitz and Jim Whitney
of Georgia-Pacific Corp. and
the Coos Bay Lumber Co.
Other lumbermen were in
vited.
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 economy drive would
be the railroads' answer to
alleged featherbedding prac
tices among the workers. The
AFL-CIO said the proposed
work rules against feather
bedding would be "almost In
human from the point of
view of the employees."

Soblen Lawyers
To Request Writ
01 Habeas Corpus
Attorneys Fight
Deportation Order
London - tUPD - Dr. Robert
Soblen's lawyers said today
they will ask Britain's high
court for another writ of ha
beas corpus aimed at keep
ing the convicted Soviet spy
from being sent back to the
United States and life in
prison.
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."

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.
