West Gulf Coast dock worK'

International Longshoremen's
association (ILA) b a c k - to-
work order Saturday as a
string of strikes across the
nation began to break up.
' 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

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.

affecting one million Phila
delphia commuters remained
In effect Saturday after man
agement rejected a tentative
contract agreement Friday.
The pact had been ratified by
8,600 transit employees.
Negotiations in tne nine-

curity. No progress was re

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.

bill House Speaker Clarence
Barton (D-Coquille) allowed
separate votes on the salary
and expenses. 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.

the Senate Tuesday. It would
let private insurance firms
into the field and would com
pletely revamp Oregon's

cedures. The bill is expected
to be bitterly opposed by or

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

day they were willing to com
promise a tax feud with tha
