' Union negotiators met past midnight at Galvaston, Tex., before announcing that "in the interest of the country and of organized labor" the Gulf Coast strike was ended The ILA Friday ordered all of its 75.000 members to re turn to work despite the fact that negotiations continued at Gulf Coast points. Local un ions from North Carolina to Texas had refused. The Galveston agreement came after Assistant Labor Secretary James Reynolds urged the local union to come to terms because President Kennedy was "pretty fed up." The agreement called for a 39-cent wage increase and a study of the gang-size dispute No Sympathy In State for Morgan, Says GOP Leader Salem - (UPt - "Howard Morgan Is likely to find lit tle sympathy in either party in Oregon," Rep. F. F. Mont gomery of Eugene said Fri day. Montgomery , Republican minority leader in the House, was commenting on Morgan's announcement that he does not wish another term on the Federal Power commission when his current term expires in June. A former chairman of the Oregon Democratic party, Morgan said he was leaving the federal agency because he felt it was favoring private over public power. Whole Hog Montgomery called Mor gan's attitude a "whole hog" stand on utility Issues. He said public and private power are working successful ly together In Oregon, while "federal monopoly can only damage the causes of Oregon utilities." "If he can't get along with the Kennedy administration his disruptive Influence Is un likely to be welcomed by either party In Oregon," Mont gomery said. Montgomery also criticized Morgan for saying "ordinary men" on federal regulatory agencies yield too quickly to pressures. Montgomery said Morgan's definition of the ordinary man woum oe most interest ing." ' which had held up ncgotla tions for two days. Doesn't Like Saltlamant Ralph Massey, president of the West Gulf district of the ILA, said his committee "did not particularly like the set tlement" but that "in the in terest of the country and of organized labor and at the insistence ot Son. wayne Morse and Secretary of Labor Willard Wlrtz, we ended the dock strikoi" Texas dock workers may be back on the job today. In other labor develop ments: As many as 22,000 long shoremen Saturday were call ed back to work in the port of New York to handle cargo aboard 263 ships believed to be the greatest number of ships riding at anchor in the bay and tied up at piers since World War II convoy days. Longshoremen at Miami, Fla., and Mobile, Ala., con tinued to hold out against the ILA back-to-work order. A management negotiator at Mi ami said talks were "at a standstill." A 161-day, violence-scarred strike against the Shell Oil Co.'s Roxanna, 111., refinery by 2,100 members of 13 unions came to a tentative end. M. u. Harmon, president of the oil workers council, said it was honed normal operations could be resumed Wednesday. Shell apparently won its bat tle to keep workers accused of violence from returning to work. Issues Restraining Order A federal judge, at , me request of President Kenne dy, issued a temporary re straining order Friday stalling a threatened strike by ma chinists at the Boeing Air craft Co. in Seattle, Wash. The strike, set for 12:01 a.m. Saturday, would have idled about 40,000 workers across the nation and halted Boe ing's defense and space work. Kennedy called for the in junction "to remove a peril to the national safety." Mayor Robert Wagner entered negotiations in the 40-day New York newspaper strike Saturday and said he is "'always an optimist. The dispute has idled 20,000 news paper employees and closed nine metropolitan papers. The 1 1-day transit strike affecting one million Phila delphia commuters remained In effect Saturday after man agement rejected a tentative contract agreement Friday.

During debate on the pay Foreign Shipping Won't Hurt NW, Spokesman Says Washington - (UPD - A spokesman for Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger (D-Ore.) stated he did not think government approval of a Georgia firm's request to use foreign ships from shipping lumber to Puerto Rico would hurt the lumber Industry in the Northwest. He made the statement when asked for comment on a protest earlier by an of ft cial of the American Mari time association against per mission given to an East Coast lumber company to use fore ign vessels for shipments to Puerto Rico. The charge came from Ed ward N. Altman, executive vice president of the Mari time association. It opposed the Commerce department's action in granting Warsaw Lumber and Trading Co., Sa vannah, Ga., authority to use foreign flag ships. Sen. Neuberger, who was In Cambridge, Mass. Friday to address the Harvard Medical School. Introduced an amend ment last year to the Jones Act to permit the use of. fore ign ships for lumber ship ments to Puerto Rico. The measure was designed to aid the ailing lumber in dustry in the Northwest, which has been forced out of the Puerto Rican market in recent years. The senator's aide, Lloyd Tupling, said that he did not think Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges' action in granting Warsaw Lumber per mission to use foreign ships would "make a significant dif ference" to the West Coast lumber industry. Tuppling said West Coast firms receiving similar per mission already have sold 2.25 million feet of lumber in Puerto Rico. The first foreign vessel to transport West Coast lumber to Puerto Rico is scheduled to leave Coos Bay, Ore., on Feb. 6, he said. Two other shipments will follow.

Some repre sentatives feared a precedent was set which could seriously delay action on budget bills if each Item in a bill was voted upon separately. The pay bill goes to the Senate this week. Fifty-six House and Senate members sponsored six bills aimed at preventing sex crimes. The 42 house and 14 senate sponsors hoped for quick passage of the meas ures. Legislators said they had received an unusually large volume of mail on the need to halt the series of bizarre sex crimes which have shocked Oregon. Barton and Senate Presi dent Ben Musa (D-The Dalles) got a violent reaction from some legislators when they said basic school support should be cut if tax measures adopted by the legislature were referred to the voters and rejected. Barton denied he was is suing a threat. "I am only talking about the political and economic facts of life." Rep. Joe Rogers (R-Inde-pendence) termed Barton's view "preposterous," and Rep. John Mosser (R-Beaver-ton) called the idea "political blackmail" and "political sui cide." A joint Senate-House ses sion was held Tuesday to hear a report from the constitu tional revision commission. The concensus of legislators seemed to be that a new con stitution for Oregon would have trouble winning legis lative approval this session. William Walsh of Coos Bay, president of the Board of Education, made a dramatic plea to the education subcom mittee of the Ways and Means committee and warned against cuts in the higher edu cation budget. "I know what you are up against," Walsh told subcom mittee members, "when we are through we want you to know what we are up against." Virtually hidden ' among House bills Introduced Friday morning was a request by the State Board of Education to let the board set the salary of the state superintendent of public instruction. His pres ent $13,000 annual salary is set by law, while the chancel lor of higher education re ceives $25,000 plus a house. This has rankled public in struction superintendent Leon P. Minear. Tax Bills Introduced Bills to eliminate the death sentence, and to prevent parole of persons convicted of first degree murder and sen tenced to life in prison, were introduced in the house. Rep. Victor Atiyeh (R-Bca-verton) introduced the net re ceipts and cigarette tax bills urged by Gov. Mark Hatfield. The income tax measure would raise $31 million, and the cigarette tax $18 million additional revenue to finance Hatfield's $405.3 million gen eral fund budget. At a press conference Mon day, Hatfield said a further $1.1 million cut in state serv ices would be necessary to keep the state from operating in the red between now and June 30. Hatfield admitted revenues were running below estimates. Sen. Walter Pearson sub mitted a controversial work- Page 2A Medford Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1963 men's compensation bill In the Senate Tuesday. It would let private insurance firms into the field and would com pletely revamp Oregon's workmen's compensation pro cedures. The bill is expected to be bitterly opposed by or ganized labor. A lobbyists' registration bill proposed by Sen. Edward Fadeley (D-Eugenc) met Im mediate disapproval of tha House and Senate leaders. Both Barton and Mussa said no such legislation was need ed. National banks advised the Senate Tax committee Mon day they were willing to com promise a tax feud with tha state involving about $1 mil lion a year. Rep.
