TWO HERALD AND MEWS MACHINISTS TO AGAIN I (Continued from Page One) wired tlia governor Informing him of the local situation and a reply was received here last night granting assistance if needed. The machinists have been un able to enter the plajit since last Friday when a strengthened CIO picket line gave indications of stern resistance at the gate. At that time Sheriff Low pointed out to the machinists the futility of himself and one deputy attempting to open the road arid the AFL men turned back without going farther than the hill near tne airnaven snhool. The 'mac hiri 1st s passed through the line on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, al though near-violence threatened Thursday before the sheriff manaeed to open the road. Meanwhile, some steps were In progress toward settlement of the dispute in some of . the strike-bound operations. No meeting had been held as yet between CIO unionists and offi cials at Weyerhaeuser, where the trouble started. Both sides have suggested meeting dates, and R. R. Macartney, Weyer haeuser manager, said that- he is waiting for the union to meet with him. Some other meetings have been held. Local CIO officials said this morning that a meeting would be held Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. in which a general vote would be taken concerning a baek-to-work movement at the Big Lakes Box company and the Uhiloquin jjumDer company. . Favorable Meeting , A favorable meeting between union leaders and management of the- Chiloquin Lumber com pany ,was held yesterday and a satisfactory agreement was also reached with the Big Lakes Box company in a confab with OlU heads held Sunday afternoon. If the general vote is favor able, workers will return to the job as soon as possible, accord ing to Vernon Chase, 1WA-CIO head here.. Logging : operations of both plants have . been down almost since thcTaeginning of the strike but milling s activities never ceased' at Big Lakes as the pro duction and maintenance men are affiliated with the Amer ican Federation t of Labor. CIO men at Chilopjun mill did not strike. . ' No satisfactory agreement has been reached "with the Pelican Bay Lumber company and no meetings have been held with the Ewauna Box Company, Kes terson Lumber corporation, or the Weyerhaeuser limber com pany. v- The Weyerhaeuser situation received particular attention as a focal point in the strike. CIO officials said last week they had accepted the WCLC proposal for work resumption and negotiation of differences. Their telegrams and letters were printed in full. Here are the Weyerhaeuser re plies, to, the WCLC and to the union:. r Here are the Weyerhaeuser company's telegrams and letters to the WCLC and the union as a result of last week's WCLC tele gram proposing work resump tion: t Mr. John D. Galey, West Coast Lumber Com inission. :, Portland, Ore. i Re your telegram Septem ber 12 concerning IWA-CIO. Only part of our employes are members of the union and il legal strike of union called without notice, not based on any clause of former collective bargaining agreements but is demand for union shop made 5 days after the strike. Our agreement with IWA-CIO ter minated because of union's violation of many clauses and general irresponsibility. Our AFOFL machinists have de termined strike is illegal and have returned to work through illegal picket line.

Gclger, President 1WA Local 6-12 CIO P. O, Box 1227 Klamath Falls, Ore. Dear Sir: This will acknowledge your letter of September 13th which was addressed to our company and several other companies. We enclose a copy of the telegram which we sent to the West Coast Lumber Commis sion in response to Mr. Galey's telegram of September 12. We did not receive a telegram from him dated September 13. This telegram of our company expresses our company's posi tion fully. We note that you suggest a meeting on Friday the 15th. Since the 15th is Saturday, we do not know what you intend. The undersigned will be avail able, however, to meet with you at our plant on Saturday morning if you desire such a meeting. Very truly yours, Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. Klamath Falls Branch. Meetings were not held, either Friday or Saturday. The com pany said that it got no answer to the above letter. Ballots Coming In In the meantime, last ballots on a proposed strike which would affect 37,000 lumber workers in northwest : fir and pine were arriving at headquar ters of the CIO International Woodworkers of America in Portland today. Today is the deadline for lo cal unions to postmark their ballots. The CIO said the last vote would reach Portland with in two days, and that all ballots would be opened after that time. The strike vote is being taken by the union in support of their demands for wage increases. A three-man government con ciliation, commission met with lumber workers and operators in Portland today in an attempt to solve the strike threatening the northwest lumber industry. Notices of the industry-wide conference were sent to more than 300 operators in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana and to northwestern, Willamette valley, and Klamath basin dis trict councils. AFL and CIO demands for wage increases were to be dis cussed. EYED BY RUSSIANS (Continued from Page One) foothold on the Mediterranean. "I- will not conceal the soviet interest in Eritrea," the. Italian colony bordering Ethiopia, Mol otov said.' ' Hints At Compromise ' - But at the same time he hint ed at a willingness to compro mise on Yugoslavia's '-claims against Italy by declaring that territory Italian .; inr. character should remain Italian.' . The dapper foreign .commis sar also declined to be specific on Moscow's views on the Ital ian-Yugoslav boundary, saying only that the question was "un der discussion." Hev declared, however, that he believed those territories belonging to Croats and Slovenes should' be turned over to Yugoslavia. Formal Claims Earlier, the Yugoslavs -made formal claims to Venetia Giulia before the foreign ministers of the five leading allied nations. Molotov made a long state ment supporting the govern ments established in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary which the United States and Britain have refused to recognize. His statement made it evi dent that the soviet union in tends to stand firm in support of those governments, which he termed democratic. "We soviet people think there are countries in which the ques tion of changing governments is not only ripe but urgent." he said. "We do not think this ap plies to Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary." Dodges Query There was everv indication that Molotov was referring to the government of Greece, al though when asked to name the legimes he believed should be changed, he said: 111 have to think about it."

L (Continued from Page One) incendiarism In their press, he eased restrictions on the ground, ed air service radiating from Tokyo. His headquarters announced that service could be resumed, provided no more than four transport planes were in the air at one time. The order was sub ject to cancellation when it ceases to further allied interests. The occupation of this defeat ed country proceeded quietly, with no further elaboration of MacArthur's statement of yes terday that 200,000 regular army troops probably would be suffi cient to rule Japan within six months, allowing "complete de mobilization" of Pacific draftees. Previous lowest estimates for the occupation force had been 400,000. Surprising Estimate Dispatches from Washington described the state department as "sumriscd and "concerned at MacArthur's estimate, which drew favorable comment from some members of congress. One Washington official said it was feared that MacArthur's statement might spread the im pression abroad that the United States was planning to with draw "at an early date," leaving Japan largely in charge of her own affairs. Jap Violation! Although no incidents were reported in Japan, unungking disDatches of the Chinese cen tral-news agency charged last night that Japanese forces in China had violated surrender terms in a number of instances by destroying arms, ammuni tion, railroad equipment and ridges. "We should occupy the Japa- nese islands for about 20 years," asserted General Wainwright, returned hero of Corregidor, in a radio interview in Washing- ton. "And in those 20 years we should deprive the Japanese of any industry or business that could make it possible for them to beat their piowsnares into swords." (Japanese captors, he said, "de liberately practised ail tne forms of cruelty they knew or heard about" on allied prison ers regardless of rank). f acme txoaus Already, however, the exodus from the Pacific is under way, with some high-ranking officers joining enlisted men aboard home-bound, transport planes or ships. Lt. lien. James uoonuie, com manding general of the eighth air force in the Ryukyus, reach ed the United States last night. Admiral Halsey is scheduled to leave for home Thursday, witn remaining units of his third fleet in Japanese waters assigned to the fifth fleet under Adm. Ray mond A. Spruance. Vice Adm. Frank Jack Fletcher, in com mand of naval forces controlling northern Japan, also will leave soon, returning to nis worm fa cific headquarters in the Aleu tians. Health May Force Stalin To Give Up Power PARIS, Sept. 18 (IP) The Paris-Presse said in a copyright article today that Generalissimo Stalin was likely to relinquish his presidency of the council of peoples commissars-: (premier ship) this winter and retire from all political activity because of ill health. The. newspaper described Stalin as suffering from a liver ailment in conjunction with fa tigue. This, it said, was "the ex planation of Stalin's delay in arriving for the Potsdam con ference with President Truman and Winston Churchill. : Yves Delbars, writer ' of the story and known in Paris as a specialist on Russian affairs, said the ailment developed to a serious point as far back as 1942 at the most critical mo ment of the battle for Stalin grad. DEATH SENTENCE : .PARIS, Sept. 18 (IP) Jean Herold-Paquis, chief news com mentator for the Paris radio dur ing the German occupation, was under sentence of death for treason .today after a one-day trial. NTERNATIONA LAW V 0 LATE D DAILY CHARGES EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Pago One) Europe, , Pegged money or no pegged money, the old law of supply and demand Is gutting In its work, Complaints uro be ing bitterly voiced that even a darned good wntclt, costing us much maybe in Switzerland as $40, will bring no more in (he present market than $200 or at most $300. Tills wicrd Russitm watch market is a leading topic of con versation, and a favorite rib when anybody mentions that lie has been in Ucrliu is to pull back his sleeve to see if he still wears a watch. QBVIOUSLY, there must be a reason back of this reckless buying of watches by Russian soldiers. It stories told by C.ls who claim to'have talked with these men from Russia in the strange pidgin of English and German that passes for an Inter national language here arc true, the reason is interesting not alone to casual observers but to social theorists as well. The Russians, according to these stories, know they are gut ting what we call taken for a ride but figure they're coming out in the long run on the right side of the ledger. "Sure" (one of them told a GI In response to questioning) "we know we're getting gypped on the price, but when we get a watch back to Russia it's TWO COWS." (He said it in mixed German and English, both rudimentary, but that's what it added up to.) Remember that the Russians (according to the best informa tion obtainable) can't take their money home with them. But if they can take a WATCH home and trade It there for TWO COWS they're getting some place. If it is true that these theoretically satisfied and happv communists have figured out this rather smart game to bent the racket that Is Involved in not letting them take their money home with them (if that also is true), one has to admit that they arc not quite the sim ple .children of nature they have been painted. It takes a certain amount of brain power to figure out a scheme like that. And you'll ALSO have to ad mit (no matter how pinkish you may be in your social thinking) that if these Russians arc able and WILLING to carry through a complicated program of ex change like that which goes to the very, roots of the capitalistic urges from which springs the system of private oropertv they are not unlike the rest of us who want something we can look at with pride and say: "This is MINE." Your true believer In the socialist theory is theoreti cally content to say: "This is OURS." ALSO, if these Russians here In Germany are scheming so hard to get hold of PRIVATE property how long is the com munist system going to endure unchanged? . .. ' ., INJURED IN FALL ' MEDFORD, Sept. 18 (IP) Louis Kobel, Roseburg, a South ern Pacific brakeman, was se verely cut on the back and arms yesterday when he fell beneath a freight car at a sawmill yard siding.

Russell was the first to bring before the senate complaints about the arrangements under which Japan surrendered. Several of his colleagues have vuiced similar dissatisfaction privately since the peaco terms were signed. Under those terms lllrohlto remains on his throne but takes orders from Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. No promise was made thatjie would not bo tried for war "crimes. The Japanese peo ple are to decide what form of government they want. Call for Trial Some senators who previously had called for lllrohlto's trial as a war criminal said they had not changed their minds. They add ed they had not renewed these demands publicly becnuso of the delicacy of occupation opera tions. This factor caused Rus sell to delay his speech a week. The Georgian said that by treating the emperor "with great deference" the allies aro falling to impress the Japanese people with the fact that they havo lost the war. This treatment, he added, Is laying the groundwork for the establishment of a myth that the Japanese were not defeated, Jap anese leaders already are trying to create tho impression he said, that "the emperor has done the allies a great favor by stopping the war." Besen Prisoners Emaciated, Says British Doctor LUENEBERG, Germany, Sept. 18 (IP) A British army doctor who inspected the Belsen con centration camp the day It was liberated told a British military court today he found most of its living inmates emaciated and diseased and without sanitation facilities. The doctor, Brigadier Glyn Hughes, testified as the first wit ness at the trial of Joseph Kra mer, "The Beast of Nelson," and 44 other SSS men and women charged with conspiracy to com mit mass murder. Hughes for merly was chief medical offices of the British second army, Punishments Made, Jap Says TOKYO, Sept. 18 (IP) Pre mier Higashi-Kunl declared to day that the Japanese army and navy already had meted out some punishment for prison camp cruelties, but he had no details. In a mass two-hour Interview with the allied press, he assert ed the details would be made available t5 correspondents as soon as he could obtain them. Hagashi-Kuni denied he gave the order to execute the Doo little fliers after the first Amer ican aerial strike against Tokyo in 1942. - Junior Livestock Sale Proceeds Reach New High (Continued from Pago One) Hill? 4Bc, $4411.20, Cal-Oro Tav urn; 1st, light Annus.
