Councllmen Individually chorused their favor of daylight time but were divided In their opinion as to obtaining It, Darrcll Miller and Don Kcnyon were for obeying the wishes of Klamath Falls citizens and to "H" with tho rest of tho state. Murk Smith blamed the mer chants of the state for not acting sooner and lotting the governor know their wants. Wendell Smith nnd Matt Flnnl gan were more cautious, going along with the legal opinion of the City Attorney. And Perkins Is convinced any action tho city of Portland takes to try and defeat the law In stato courts will be defeated.

Poikhis opined. Ho wnsn't sure, nor was anyone else at the con tused session By RKLMAN MORIN BOSTON tt In spite of cold, cloudy weather, a record-amashing vole appeared to be building up Tuesday In the Massachusetts pri mary, an election that could put Oen. Elsenhower on almost even terms with Sen. Taft In the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Elsenhower Is favored lo win a majority ol the U OOP convention delegalea seals at slake, and to top Talt in the popular vote. Boston election olflclals said the early voting was "very heavy". In some precincts, they reported, more bsllou were cast during Uie Ural hour than during tlie enure day In Uie l primary. ' ANXIOUS - tn the town of Franklin, where polls do not open until 19:30 p. m. lest) more Uisn 60 people appeared at the town hall, ready to vole. They were told they would have to wall. Tuft's campaign managers here, on the eve o the election, expres sed optimism but did not estimate the number ol delegates he would win. In Younsslown. O.. a Taft leader predicted the senator would have enough delegates by June 3 to win the OOP nomination on the first ballot at Uie Chicago convention. He already has 305, the manager said. v Taft and Paul Waller, his mana ger In Northern Ohio, told a news conference the senotor would have 650 pledged delegates by June 3, tne aaie oi uie uuai state pri mary. ' JS DKLEGATF.S Massachusetts has 38 Republi can convention delegates. Two each alreudy have been alloted to Tu!l and Elsenhower, and six will go to the convention unlnstructcd. Tlie remaining 28 will be elect- Tuesday. Bolh condldates have . ' , ... .... .... . lull slates in Uie 14 districts. Some of Elsenhower's, backers have claimed he would win all 38, but others place the figure at 30 to 34. If their forecasts are accurote. Elsenhower will draw almost even with Taft In the box-score of dele gates won up to this point In na tlonnl campaigning. An Associated Press tabulation, based on known alignments ol dele gates, put Taft's total at 365 and Eisenhower's at xj. Tans-mana gers, however, claim more than 300. TAFT EFFORT Taft campaigned personally in a three-day swing through Massa chusetts last week. On Uie ballot, the names of his delegate-candi dates arc designated as "pledged" nr "tavorab e" to mm, Elsenhower's are not, since he did not give formal consent to hav ing his name entered 'In this pri mary when the filing was done.

Surrounding cities were expected lo ioiiow sun. Vancouver. WashY Oregon City. Forest Grove and other communities In the area In dicated earlier Uiey would allow I'oriiancrs lead. Hie action came exactly a week aller Oov. Douglas McKay of Ore gon had announced he would not put daylight time Into effect for the slate, as he did last year. Pro tests, mostly Irom radio and retail trade sources, were Immediate. There was some speculation over legality of Portland's action In de fiance of the governor's decision lo keen the stall on standsrd time. The council sought to dodge that, at least momentarily, by not pars ing an ordinance on the Issue. In stead the council Issued an unani mous proclamation for daylight time. The eflect of this was ex pected to be the same as an ordinance. It could not be determined at would follow Portland's action. Although on standard time, several have moved up work shifts to con form with daylight time. In com munities where this practice Is not general, some private Indus tries and stores have moved open ing and closing times up an hour. Oregon radio stations changed to daylight time Sunday, when BcctlJc. -California and much of .UM east did.

Flood Battled In Salt Lake SALT LAKE CITY LP Flood waters continued to - rage down Utah's mountain canyons Tuesday as thousands of workers battled the state's worst flood crises hi history. The flood waters knocked out a railroad bridge, ripped out a dam, drove families from their homes. blocked highway traffic and con tinued to spread over farmlands. At Nephi. an 11-year-old boy tumbled Into the Big Hollow Creek, and was swept downstream. The youngster, Kirk Sanders, was rescued unharmed, however. First reports were' that he drowned In the murky waters. Streets in Salt Lake City were sandbagged Into emergency canals to carry off tlie overflow from several canyons to the east In the Wasatch Mountains. The Jordan River, carrying the west side Salt Lake City runoff Into the Great Salt Lake, spilled over Its banks near the Salt Lake, County fairgrounds early Tuesday. "This Is the most dangerous flood situation the city has ever faced." said City Engineer Roy W. McLeese. "It's anybody's rucss whether we can continue to con trol It." ; Wearv flood workers received one assist early Tuesday. Temper atures dropped In Northern Utah and a cool wind roced in Irom the north.

Dr. Phil Reams of Long iieacn, Hundreds Of Klamath Men Idled PORTLAND Ml Logging halted In most of the Pacific Northwest Tuesday as more than 40,000 CIO woodworkers began a strike against some 100 employers. The midnight strike deadline had been set by workers of Northern Idaho and Western Montana to back up their demands for Im proved contracts. The walkout began minutes be fore last-hour negotiations with the Willamette Valley Operators As sociation collapsed. Two years ago the Willamette Valley operators settled with the union only a few hours before the strike deadline. That kept workers on the job and other employers settled along aunt lar lines. NO BETTER' But Willamette Valley operators Monday night "made no better offer." A.F. Hartung, International president of the union, said. That was the third turndown the union has had on Its contract de mands. The Lumbermen's Industrial Re lations Committee, an employer group representing a large part of tne industry, earlier onerea to the union a 7 'A cent hourly In crease, three additional paid holi days making a total of six and a 2-cent hourly increase in night differentials. But the companies balked at the added demand they pay the cost of a health and welfare program which would amount to about 9 'A cents a work hour. Then Monday afternoon the union met with Plywood Mill oper ators. Hartung said the employers' only offer was to continue the old contract. It provided for a 7 14-cent welfare program financed by de ductions from the workers' pay- cnecEs. ine union rejectee wis proposal. WEYERHAEUSER That left the union on strike against the entire Industry with the exception of Weyerhaeuser op erations. Weyerhaeuser settled ear lier this spring by continuing to finance the welfare program, granting the three holidays, pay ing the t '.i-cent hourly increase and the increased night differen tial. Unless settled soon, the strike Is expected to affect the operation ot racmc nortnwest Lumber mills, many of them with AFL crews. Meantime the AFL Monday opened its negotiations tor new contracts. At a meeting wltn the Committee union negotiators asked for a 30-cent hourly increase. After the demand was presented the meeting was .recessed subject to call by either ' the unten-or em ployers. The LTRC represented Columbia River and Oregon Coastal em ployers at the Monday talks. No strike deadline has been set by the AFL union.
