B;C; Logger Strike Perils Newspapers, Hits Fishing VICTORIA, B. C, May 17 (IP) A logger's strike which took 37.000 workers off the Job In Britiih Columbia yesterday threatened to clow milli pro ducing newsprint for many large United Statei newspapers with in a month and curtail fishing operations. Spokesmen at the Powell River Paper company In Van couver would say only that the strike "ultimately" would affect production, but other sources said the pulp mills had about three weeks' supply of logs on hand. The province produces about 1000 tons of newsprint dally. Idleness for 10,000 in the fish ing industry was in prospect un less orders for 3,300,000 boxes could be filled. Labor leaders said the strike was the opening gun in a general drive for wage increases and predicted that 80, 000 would be out of work in a week or 10 days. The International Woodwork ers of America (CIO) originally demanded a wage boost of 25 cents an hour and went on strike when their offer to cut that to IB cents was refused. Operators had offered 12a cents. Ciie length of the work week and other considerations also were in dispute. An effort to compel medi ation under wartime labor laws was made by Chief Justice Gor don Sloan of the British Colum bia supreme court, who recom mended such action to the labor ministry in Ottawa. Historians Get Trail Name Row PORTLAND, May 17 (IF) The state highway commission opened bids on eight projects to day and referred a controversy over the name of a pioneer route to tne uregon Historical society. Low bids received included: Klamath county construction of two concrete bridges on The Dalles-California highway near Chiloquin. Angelo A. Doveri, jviamain tans, S4a,au.3u. The commission referred a protest of the Klamath Histor ical society against the marking of an old southern Oregon emi grant route as "Applegate Trail" to an Oregon Historical society committee lor study. The Klam ath group contends there is no historical basis for the "Apple- gate designation, while Jos ephine and Jackson county groups favor It. Little Action At City Polls .(Continued from Page One) heat of pamphlets, advertising and radio talks yesterday, neither candidate expects anything but a light vote. By mid-morning only 18 vot ers 16 republicans and two democrats had presented them selves at the First Presbyterian church, polling place of precinct 6, and only 17, including 16 re publicans and one democrat, had voted in the courthouse base ment, polls for precinct 8. At the noon hour precinct 4 reported 27 republicans and 16 democrats and precinct 27 had 11 republicans and 4 democrats. Other polling places reported about the same volume of busi ness and generally republicans are out-voting democrats. There are no contested democratic can didacies locally and only one republican party race. The polls will be open until 8 p. m. and after closing time re turns will be broadcast over KFLW as toon as received. UN Postpones Albanian Plea (Continued from Page One) the Albanian application was the only one awaiting action, said the United States would do everything in its power to see that every applicant was given the fullest consideration. Albania is sponsored by Yu goslavia, not a member of the security council, and is spon sored by Russia and Poland. Britain has opposed the Alban ian application but the British delegate did not speak on the point today. Eleanor Calls Off Journey To Russia NEW YORK, May 17 VP) Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt won't go to Russia this summer, she said last night. Instead she plans to spend most of the time at her Hyde Park home working on the second volume of her autobiography. (Continued from Paga One) are thinking TOO MUCH in ma terial terms and too little in terms of the SPIRIT such things as right and justice and human decency? Might we not be better off, in the long run, if we applied more frequently in our everyday trans actions with each other the sound principle of the Golden Rule? W7ATCH India in the news. ' Something BIG is possibly in the making there. A BRITISH commission, com Dosed of three cabinet mem bers, is apparently offering IN DEPENDENCE to India on a sil ver platter. They seem to MEAN BUSINESS. This British cabinet mission is proposing for India a federal union, somewhat on the pattern of our federal government, but with this difference: In between the federal congress for the whole country (such as our con gress in Washington) and the provincial bodies (such as our state legislatures) there is to be a REGIONAL legislature (as if Oregon. Washington and Cali fornia should join in a legislative body representing all three states.) The idea back of this regional innovation is to provide protec tion for the Moslems, who are in the minority in India, against the Hindus, who are strongly in the majority. IF all of this should come to pass if independence should be dumped in India's lap it would represent a magnificent gamble -on the part of Britain's present (labor) government.

Last Sunday they tackled Mt. Scott, but found rt tough going. They left their car at Pot Hole camp and climbed eight miles before Mrs. Gruberman decided that the trio back would be enough for her. Gruberman managed to reach timberline, but the climb had taken so lone he was forced to turn back there. The trip was made difficult by alternate patches of snow and bare ground, necessitating con stant putting on and taking off of skis.

O'Connor Plant To Be Rebuilt (Continued from Page One) or It might be two, before he could get material and labor to put his plant back in operation but it was his intention to re build. All stock, now on range in California, will be fattened there and shipped elsewhere for finishing, probably in the Sue ramento valley. Origin of the blase, which ap parently started in a feeding shod across from the tallow plant operated by Johnson Pack ing company at about 1:45 p. m was still undetermined. O'Con nor said. It was discovered first by James Young, Johnson em ploye, who said yesterday that when he first noticed the fire it had progressed almost 100 feet. Young said he and another Johnson worker, Vernon Rentle, a utility man employed at the tallow plant, grabbed a hose and tried to put out the fire but to no avail. They then called for help but a brisk wind blowing to the south fanned the flames and they spread into the huge sheds which covered hundreds of tons of hay. Cattle On Rang The warehouse where the fire started was not occupied. O'Con nor said the shed was used to feed lambs for finishing and last winter he fed over 6000, winter before last, 11.000. Connecting to this shed is another in which O'Connor fed 500 cattle last win ter. They are now on range. Lost in the flames were 30 head of hogs and one steer which was awaiting slaughter. Some 400 tons of hay in two separate sheds, and one big pile of straw used for bedding and estimated at 100 tons, were also burned. The hay came from O'Connor's Spring Lake ranch and this year's crop will have to be han dled in some way. the owner said, and would probably ne cessitate building at least one ED a Continuous Daily Doors Open 12:30 p. m.

One of (he sheds which burned was mure than 500 feet long by 100 feet wide, it was metal covered and the sheets buckled and twisted as the terrific heat reached the roofs. In addition to the stock, hay and buildings, O'Connor said this morning that there was a portable elevator operated by a Ford car. which went up In 1 hnnes, along with other ele vators, a quantity of sulphur, oats, wuguns, big stock scales and a large assortment of farm equipment. Two Buildings Two buildings on the 120-acre plant were saved from the flumes which were carried nwav from the structures by the wind. These Included the big feed mill of tile and sheet metul con struction, and the grinder shed where the hay is conveyed Into the hammermill. O'Connor suid he first saw the smoke from his plant when lie was aoout n miles south at Lower Klamath lake where he has a crew shearing sheep. He was en route from Maxwell north and thought he would check on the shearing before coming on to Klamath Falls. O'Connor said that his original thought was that the smoke came from his home place at Spring Lake and he hurried to the plant to investigate. The plant, in O'Connor's absence. Is operated by his two sons, Dan and Jackie, and bv his daughter and her husband. Mary and Neal Hurley. Insurance adjustors were expected here Sunday to adjust the loss. , Another loser in the fire was A. H. Bussman of Murphey's Seed store, who had 52 tons of oat and grass hay in storage space rented from O'Connor. Bussman said he was partially covered by insurance. Some three weeks ago, Bussman ad vised, he bought 17 carloads, or about 340 tons, of hay from O'Connor and this was shipped to the Union stockyards at San Francisco. C. E. Johnson of Johnson Packing company was fortunate in saving the contents of his tal low plant, close by the big feed mill. The tallow plant is in a fireproof structure and only ex terior damage was done al though late yesterday afternoon Johnson said he thought the en tire plant would be ruined. It housed some $10,000 in hides and $5000 to $6000 in tallow. It is thought that Hooper brothers, who had some pota toes in bin storage, suffered some loss but this has not been ascertained. Loss would prob ably bo from smoke and water. Within 15 minutes of the time the Southern Pacific received a leporl on t lie fire, a fire train made up of three water curs, was disputched to tho feed plant on the old Midland road. Using the O'Connor siding, the train crew of 12 men worked for three hours. The men kept the firo from doing additional duiu ago and put out flumes which spread to the other shin of the tracks when sparks were blown that way. Each of the three cars curried 13,1)0(1 gallons of water, all of which was used. About 300 feet of hose went Into play, O'Connor today expressed ex treme appreciation to the state police, county (ire department, the Southern Pnciflc, (ileal Northern, Johnson and O'Con nor employes and others who gave aid during the fire. The plant stood on the site of the old Shaw-Bertram mill which was later operated bv Long-Bell and then sold to Wey erhaeuser Timber company with O'Connor acquiring the 120 acres during the latter transac tion. In the .late summer of 1943, a similar fire swept the area but did no dumage to O'Connor holdings although It burned a number of old mil) buildings. MSaAI.D NCWS. Kl.m.la hill. Oca.
