Timber Peace Effort Fails PORTLAND l The Lumber men's Industrial Relations Com mittee representing employers of some 14,000 striking CIO Wood workers and union negotiators lalled to reach agreement Friday on a new contract. A. E. Hnrtung. union president, said the 175 employers wanted to split the negqtiation sessions into two divisions. One group was to include em ployers who have no dispute with the union on local issues. The other would . negotiate its local Issues along with regional dispute over wages and other contract benefits. LOCAL ISSUES Walter Durham Jr., manager ot the LIRC. said the union negotiat ing committee hnd failed to take into consideration local strike Issues. Hnrtung snld the union took the position that negotiations shoulri all be carried on at a regional level with local Issues being settled in later discussions. Hnrtung said the union rejected nn offer to sign the same agree ment reached earlier with the Long Bell Lumber Co. of Lonevlew. Wash, and the Willamette Valley upcrntors of Oregon. It provided for a 7 'A cent hourly wage Increase, three additional p.ild holidays, a 2-cent Increase in night differential and an Improved vacation urogram. nr.ir.nis Employes will continue to finance Uie hcnlth and welfare program by payroll deductions. Seven and a half cents will be deducted for ench hour of straight time nnd compensated holiday and vacation time, and li !a cents for each hour of overtime. No further meetings were sched uled between the union and the LIRC, but federal mediators sought to arrange negotiating meetings with . other employer groups. Telephone 1111 Crop Eisenhower flflay Get All 18 Of Oregon's GOP Delegates Britton Cets Big Majority Most of the local elections Fri day went according to the script. but there was one upset of some proportions in the making. However, the most surprising feature of the primary was the way In which James Murray (Red' Britton shellacked three opponents for the Democratic nomination lor Sheriff. Britton his held the office of Sheriff .. by appointment since March, and is seeking a term of hiu own. He was opposed by Frank Steele, city street superin tendent. Wally Moss, one-time Mer rill officer and regular sporting events referee, and M. O. (Tex) Bonham, Weyerhaeuter Camp 4 woodsman who didn't make a campaign and whose name ap parently was on the ballot lust to split up the vote. Fifty-seven ol Klamath county's 77 precincts reporting complete but unofficial tallies this morning gave Britton 3445 Democratic votes to 163 for Bonham, 461 for Moss and 575 for Steele. Britton carried every precinct reporting. OPPOSITION He will be onriosed bv Demitv Dale Mnltoon in the November general election. Mattoon was un opposed and drew 3414 votes from the 57 precincts. Counting was very slow this elec tion, complicated by the myriads of party convention delegate candi dates. It may not be completed today. The official canvass of votes is to start Monday at the County Clerk's office. The local upset was in the Democratic nomination for County Assessor. The 67 precincts of 77 put Tom Hess ahead with 1701 votes, trailed by Otis Metsker with 1514 and Gene Loomis 1167. Hess is a deoutv In the As sessor's office under Metsker. The vote so far is not complete enough to make certain he gets tne Demo nomination, but the win ner wiU meet Arthur (Major) Dickson in the general election. Dickson apparently won the OOP nomination from Austin Hayden, getting 2393 votes to 1866 In the 07 precincts. One other phase of the local voting went slightly askew when Sam Coon of Baker bested Giles l . French of Moro for the Repub lican nomination to Congress from Uie Oregon 2nd 'District. However.- Coon led the veteran French all over the district. The local count in 67 precincts was 221S for, Coon, 148S for French, and 785 for Lt. Ernest Hinkle or The Dalies. The Democratic nomination to Congress apparently has been won by John Q. Jones of La Grande. He led Ben Musa of The Dalles 1202 to 1620 in Klamath County. GOWEN AHEAD Commissioner Ed Gowen ap parently has won Republican re nomlnatlon to that Job. lead ing Troy Cook 2594 to 1852. He will fnce Marius Petersen in Novem ber. Petersen apparently was best ing Mike Williams of Fort Klam ath for the Demo nomination 2165 to 1772 through 57 precincts. Dr. George H. Adler. who has been Coroner here more years than he cares to remember, had little trouble winning the Demo cratic renomlnation. He was lead ire Jim Kaler better than two to one. Keith O'Halr was unopposed on the Republican ticket. Klamath County went big for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and Sen.

"v-r, : City Swim Pool Wins By their vote Friday, Klamath Falls people declined to raise the Mayor's salary from $175 a month to 1500. refused to disturb the pres ent authority of the Park Board and refused to abolish the office of City Treasurer. But they did agree to tax them selves for a swimming pool, to sup port the community JLOunge ana to make some needed repairs on the city sewage disposal plants, and okayed a system whereby canal dates for city elective Jobs can put themselves on the ballot by filing fee instead of by circulating peti tions. The proposal to raise the Mayor's salary was swamped. It lost in ev ery precinct. The proposal to clip tne wings oi the Farx Board, to transfer its authority and duties to the Immediate supervision ol the city council, also was voted down in every precuict. TOTALS With 27 of 32 city precincts re. porting complete tallies, the count on the various measures was: Mayor's salary raise yes 875, no Swimming pool levy, a mill and a naif for seven years, to raise approximately $150,000 yes 2990, no 1767.

They survived, but only because a rescue . party reached them Fri day in tne rugged Ban Jacinto Mountains where they became trap ped. , They had been- all alone on the ledge, without even a linup to cheer them, lor 18 long hours. The air men nuted into desolate ueep can yon Wednesday on a survival test. The airmen built fires and mo torists miles away on the Palms-to-Pines highway saw the flames and reported to the Riverside Coun ty Sheriff that they believed a plane had crashed in flames. Jim Maynard. Palm Springs In dian and police officer, headed the rescue party, composed of sheriff's, workers. The tired, hungry and thirsty air men were hauled back to their base late Friday. An Air Force spokesman said such survival tests are routine training for airmen to teach them how to keep alive when they para chute Into nigged country.

Elsenhower and Ben. Estes Kefauver turned the Oregon presi dential election Into a shattering rout Saturday. Republicans chanted a massive "I Like Ike" In returns from halt of the state's precincts In Friday's primary that gave him a 61,000 vote lead over second placa Gov. Earl Warren of California. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio was not a candidate. i There were gathering signs aa the slow-count results filtered in that Elsenhower would sweep all 10 uur national vonvention aeie- , gates. His runaway total In pre ferential balloting sewed up 10 for sure. Partial returns In contests with eight unlnstructed delegate candidates, widely dubbed as pro Taft. favored a rival Eisenhower slate... .. ; ;,., NO DOUBT , ' It was never a Question that Kefauver would pack away the 12 Democratic delegates. He had only to outdraw two entries who urged voters not to support their unwill ing candidacies. But Kefauver's 3 to 1 plurality bespoke his popular ity with Oregon Democrats. Elsenhower throughout maintain ed a 2 to 1 edge over his combined opponents. Of these. Warren and Harold E. Stassen alone cam- nniened. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur didn't want to be on the ballot. Neither did Sen. Wayne L. Morse of Oregon, who Is supporting Elsen hower. There was no major orrve for a Taft write-in. Here's the vote from 1.214 oi tne state's 2.269 precincts: Republican Eisenhower, w.vau; Warren. 15.964: MacArthur. 7,910; Morse. 3.394; Tart iwnte-inj Stassen 2,748.
