March 13 m The president of the AFL-Buildlng Service Employes union, local 262. resigned today because he believes that organized labor's strike action to keep up with the cost of living is "impractical and Impossible." Sam S. Nance, president of the local for nearly four years, said in his letter of resignation that he could not subscribe to the union's policies. "The only way." he added, "that organised labor can contribute toward saving this nation from utter ruin Is to Join with the majori ty of people to do away with ex orbitant profits and bring down liv ing costs within reach of the ordi nary peoples." Two other officers William B Morganson. business agent and secretary-treasurer, and J. W. Gil lispie. chairman of the board of trustees announced thev also would resign, effective in 30 days. They gave no reason. sia and virtually all other major na tion. The Soviet version of the Vienna shooting, Keyes added in his report to Uie army, was "a complete dis tortion of Uie facts." He said a Rus sian protest, submitted to him by a Colonel Ivanov, gave this account: "Three drunk American soldiers' tried to disarm the guard at Uie Grand hotel Soviet headquarters in Vienna and one of them struck Uie Russian with a bottle in the fight that followed. The Soviet sentry then shot the American in the arm, Ivanov said. "First aid was rendered to the wounded on the spot," continued the Russian report, "and he was turned over to the American element."

The question Is whether It should approve $5,300,000,000 or 4,000,000, 000 for the flrat year of aid to Euro pean countries holding out again! communism. The foreign relation commlttet recommended the larger figure. Sen ator Taft (R-Ohlo) proposed the smaller one. Crisl Seen The tension was both because thli Issue was In doubt and because of Secretary cf State Marshall' declar ation that a "great crisis" is gripping tne worm. While leaders agreed Uie amount was the big question, there was tlU argument agsln.it the whole idea. Senator Kern (R-Mo.) took the floor to say he will vote against It because he believe It will weaken ; this country and won't atop com munism in Europe. Instead of providing Uie aid fund. Kern said the United States should: 1. "Stop meddling In the inter nal governmental affair of Europe, Asia and Africa. 2. "Drive the communist and fellow travelers from all employ ment under the government of the United State. 3. "Spend a much as needed t build a naUonal defense so strong; that neither Russia nor any other aggressor nation will dare attack us." Over the house, which Is plan ning its own version of aid legisla tion, republican members of the foreign affairs committee said they had about completed half the Job of drafting a bill. Their plan is to include aid for Europe and for China in one measure. Senate leaders set April 10 as the tentative date by which they hop final congressional action can be reached on ail foreign aid measures. Literal Minded Answer To Ad BLUEFIELD. W.

New Pope And Talbot M ill In Oakridge To Start Long Range Operations On April Fifth OAKRIDGE. Ore., March 12 This revitalised city will become an Important factor in Northwest lum ber industry on April 5 when the Pope and Talbot, Inc., new saw mill here is to be formally opened and will commence operations ex pected to extend over generations. Announcement to that effect was r-.ade today by George A. Pope Jr., president, and Hillman Luedde nuuin, vice president and Northwest manager for Pope and Talbot, Inc. What this transition In a space of two years from a railroad village In the Cascade foothills to a busy lum ber center has meant to Oakridge can be appreciated by those who aided In Uie transformation. The city, Uien with a population ot around 650, had to prepare for to day's 3500 residents with housing, town planning and zoning, roads, water and sewage expansion, fire and police protection. City officials found in the help extended by Pope and Talbot the answer to many of the pressing problems, particularly housing, it Is stated today. This sawmill adds to the widely known Pope and Talbot holding, Including the sawmill at Port Gamble, Puget Sound, founded In 1853, the SL Helen's sawmill and wood preservative treating plants on the Columbia river, below Port land, established in 1909, steamship lines serving Atlantic, Caribbean and South American ports, logging eamps In Oregon and Washington ai.d terminals and offices in most American ports, with foreign affili ates. Pope and Talbot, Inc., actively guided by the third generation of Uie indomitable pioneers who found ed the business In 1849 on San Francisco buy, has contributed greatly to Uie Industrial growth of tht Pacific coast, both in lumbering and shipping for nearly a century. The million dollar project, de scribed by Mr. Lueddemann as the foundation unit of a major logging and milling installation designed fn indefinite expansion, haa a cut ting capacity of 300,000 board feet in an eight-hour day. The latest scientific discoveries In the extrac tion of valuable by-products from wood are to be fully utilized here, officials state. Intensive studies have been undertaken along those lines, chemical research keeping; step with the larger activities at Oakridge. Holdings of the company on the upper reaches of the Willamette river, some 38 miles southeaat of Eugene, consist of a 32,000-aere traet containing an estimated bil lion feet of lumber. This Is one of the largest remaining Douglas fir forest in the area. An outstanding feature at Oak ridge will ne the harvesting of loga on the modern sustained yield basis, cutting only ripe timber and fostering and protecting new growth so that reforestation always keeps pace with lumber production. Br avoiding Uie wanton cutting of tt'ees and consequent spoliation of the forest, an output Is assured for generations ahead, in complete con foimlty with Pope and Talbot vision for the future in any activity with which they have been associated.
