We should vole no on the proposal to Incrcasn tho mayor's salary from $170 to $600 a month; 3, We should voto no on the Idea, of reducing Ihe Park Board to nil advlHory body, transferring most of Us authority to the city Council. Last evonlng'H edition of the weekly Herald and Newa-KFLW public cqivice forinn drew a flood ot telephoned questions and com ments.

However, In terse exchanges with Marshall nnd Matthews, Ncslln challenged their stand that the Park Board should retain Its pre sent sinttis. Embers of an old municipal fire were stirred at one point bv Mar shall. Asked by Ncslln for some specific reasons why he didn't want t no -board 'a authority voted over to the City Council, Marshall said a big reason was because the Park Board didn't want to "get caught kowd Steps into Oil Struck Klamath Mill Refuses Union Offer !

The bureau of Reclamation plans would divert part of the Trinity's flow eastward Into the Sacramento, whose waters now Irrigate Ca.l fornla'a Central Valleys. Bureau plana also would divert part of the Klamath's flow. Water users In both areas are protesting losing any of the water. State Sen.

Taf t and Ike Race Tightens By The Associated Press The Taft-Eisenhcwer fight for Republican presidential - nominat ing delegates, tightened up a little by results in Rhode Island and Wyoming, swings Tuesday to West Virginia The weather was fair there and a half-million ballots were expect ed in a primary. Features, besides hot nomination races for governor and congress, were: 1. Election of 16-vote Republican and ?0-vote Democratic delega tions to the Chicago national con ventions In July. 3. A GOP popularity contest be tween Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio I and former Gov. Harold Stassen .of Minnesota, spiced by a move ment lor write-in votes which can not count legally iar Oen. Dwight Elsenhower. CONFIDENCE Taft backeis. .with Ihe solid sup port of the state orpunization were confident of' capturing all 16 Re publican delegates. Eisenhower forces said they would consider it a victoiy to elect even one Eisen hower delegate. In the preferential poll, Taft looked like a shoo-in over Stassen. Eisenhower people are asking vot ers to write "Ike" across the names of Stassen and Taft even though such write-ins won't be counted. Their avowed purpose: To cut down the Taft r-ooularlty vote. There was no Democratic prefer ence vote. Candidates for the 30 vote delegation, except for one supporter of Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, kept silent as to which nominee-candidate they favored. Officii, 11 v. delegations of both parties will be unlnstructed.

Strike Truman Said Ready To Invoke T-H WASHINGTON OP) The Wage Stabilization Board (WSB) stepped into the two weeks old oil strike Tuesday by ordering a series of Informal board discussions on what to do. The WSB, which had called in representatives of more than a score of oil companies and a coali tion of striking unionists, held a live-minute lormal session. WSB Chairman Nathan L. Fein- singer read a statement saying the ooara would "explore ways and means of expediting settlements of the remaining disputes In the national Interest" and would check into scattered agreements already reached In the field. He said the board is of the "unanimous opinion that disputes siiu unresolved can be settled through collective bargaining." REFUSAL The unions have refused to call off the strike, which has affected about one-third of the nation's oil production, but agreed to attend Tuesday WSB meeting. When Feinsinger finished his statement, J. J. McKenna, who represents a number of independent unions, said he didn't like the way the board was going about the situ ation and threatened to leave, say ing be would be at his hotel "it anybody wants me." "Our men are not going back to wort until we get a settlement, McKenna said. "That's for sure. However, McKenna stayed at the WSB offices after O. A. Knight, president of the CIO Oil Workers and leader of the union coalition. urged him: "don't pull away from us now. . study ' .... ... Feinsinger said the board, in its study ot ways to settle remaining Disputes, would also spend the rest of the day, and perhaps Wednes day, exploring the status of col lective bargaining negotiations now in progress in the unsettled dis putes. About 90.000 oil workers In re fineries and pipelines are on strike. President Truman was reliably reported waiting on the outcome of the meeting before deciding wheth er io in voce uie l-ti act s national emergency provisions. These include an 80-day court in junction against continuing a walk out. The strike against pipelines, dis tribution plants and 70 or more re fineries has curtailed military and civilian jiyuig in uus country ana aoroaa. Motorists gasoline supplies have become scarce in some areas. AIRLINES Commercial airlines reported they were being forced to cancel as much as one-third of their schedu led flights. At Quonset Point, R. I., the Navy reported a one-third reduction in air operations. H. E. Fairweather, district su pervisor of the Interstate Com merce Commission in Indiana polis, said truck lines would be In serious trouble by Wednesday or Thursday if the strike continues. Locust May Bring Famine ROME Wl Giant locust swarms are threatening the entire food supply of agricultural countries from Africa to Asia in the worst plague for the future. This was reported today by the U. N. Food and Agricultural Or ganisation (FAOl, which gave this picture: Tens of millions of desert locusts have swept from their East Afri can breeding place with dramatic rapidity since the start of the year. Vast areas of French Somali land, Eritrea. The Sudan. Aden, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Ku wait, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan are in fested. Present swarms are now breed ing and "a new generation of young locusts soon will be on hand threatening the cotton and grain of the Nile delta on one side and the rice fields of India on the other." FAO estimated that between 500 and 600 million hectares (1.1 to 1.3 billion acres) of Iran, running from the border of Iraq to that ot Pakistan, are Infested with desert locust eggs. That means a new plague for the future. So far the Iranian government has been able to clean up only one-tenth or this area. Both the United States and the U.S.S.R. have sent In aircraft and experts to help fight the menace a rare example of postwar cooperation between the two rival powers.

This might mean a delay of some time. Occasionally, to speed action on a particularly Important ease, the court an nounces a ruling and hands down the formal opinion some weeks later. By KARL BAUMAN WASHINGTON W) Main argth ments In the steel seizure case wound up before the Supreme Court Tuesday with the adminis tration contending "we are at war" and seizure of the steel mills was the only way President Truman could assure their continued oper ation. Solicitor General Philip B. Perl- man, in likening tne present inter national situation to war, said the nation's very existence is threat ened. Scornfully, he contended that In dustry's claimed fears of "irre parable damage" from govern' ment operation of the mills are "a lot of fantastic hobgoblins." John W. Davis retorted for the steel companies: "our property is taken away, our bargaining power is by-passed." He said that was real injury. BRIEF ' Davis used but 10 minutes to re ply to an overtime argument from Perlman. Each bad been allotted two and one half hours. Davis left 43 minutes unused. Davis asked the Justices to up hold the decision by U. 8. Dis trict Judge David A. Pine that seizure of the mills was illegal. "We look to the Judiciary to hold the balance between the powers ot the constitutional functionaries," he said. After Perlman and Davis fin ished the main arguments, the court turned to side Issues. The first of these was a plea by Arthur Golaberg. general counsel tor the CIO 8teelworkers, that the court hand down Its decision at the earliest possible date. After that, the court was to near from three of the major railroad nrothernooas on wnat oeanng lis steel decision might have on the railroad seizure. It was the second and final day of oral arguments, before the high tribunal on the momentous ques tion of presidential powers under the Constitution. ' ' ; DECISION, 3 V.V.'VV'T ' ' When the court may hand down a decision ' Is highly uncertain. There is no time limit on how long the court may take. " - The administration contends that Truman had not only the right but the duty to tale over tne mills, as he did on April 8, to maintain steal production for the good of the na tion. " Davis maintains Truman had no authority under the Constitution or any law to seize ine mills. He called Secretary: of Com merce Sawyer, nominal operator of the mills under government pos session, a "mere trespasser." When court reconvened at 11:03 a.m. (EST), Perlman had only 17 minutes left of the two and one- half hours allotted him tor argu ment. But the Justices let him run over time so they could fire questions at him. Much of Ferlman's time m his first appearance Monday was tak en up with replies to peppering questions. .- The queries irom tne Dencn oc- gan again when Perlman. aiter saying industry fears of damage were "fantastic," declared there was no intention to Interfere with management. Chief Justice Vinson asked whe ther this procedure (of non-interference) could be changed. Perlman replied that "lianxiy it is proposed to change working con ditions," meaning wages prlnv arily and called this "the only tangible basis for their fears." But. Perlman insisted, any dam ages the company could prove re sulted from this would have to be paid for by the government.
