Picketing began at midnight, : when the company's one-year con-i tract with the AFL International Assn. of Machinists expired. The union represents about 3,000 employes, but the company said about 3,000 others not on hourly wage scale also were affected. E. K. Foster, vice president and general manager of the firm, said Bendix had offered a three-year contract including G-cent increases at the start of each year, a seventh paid holiday and improved vaca tion plan for employes of 10 to 15 years service and other benefits. John Mays, president of IAM Local 156, refused to say what the union's wage demands were but said "seniority and better all around working conditions" were the major blocks to agreement. The company said the average hourly rate was $1.80.

WASHINGTON in America' farm production was coaxed to new heights during the war years. Today it bestrides the delicate field of foreign affairs like Frank enstein's monster. Butter, cheese, cotton, rice, wheat these are unmentionables In polite conversation with certain of America's allies. And for very grave reasons. Dumping the huge U.S. surplus in rice and cotton on the world market, for example, could drive Asia and the Near and Middle East into the Communist camp. Burma is the chief rice supplier In Southeast Asia. If the United States started shipping rice into that area, the Burmese would be outraced. perhaps driven Into trade and tight liaison with rice-hungry Red China. The lives and fortunes spent to keep the Reds out of the area would be lost and possibly all of non-Communist Asia as well. With cotton. It's principally Egypt, although Mexico and Bra 7.11 are concerned too. The Egyp tians are the world's champion growers of fine long-staple cotton. Pastor Honored At Reception LAKEVIEW Tnc Rev. David St. George, new vicar of St. Luke Episcopal Church, and Mrs. Si George were honored at a rccep. i Hon held on the lawn of the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. w. HaiDison, Sunday, from 4 to 6 p.m. More than 125 guests attended. Mrs. Robert Welch was chair man of refreshments, assisted by Mrs. Neal Elliott, Mrs. Jack Had ford and Mrs. Barney Nunley. At the punchbowl were Mrs. Ray Harlnn, Mrs. O. E. A. Schuler and Mrs. Cleve Snider. Table decorations were arranged by Mrs. Hugh Mercer and Mrs James Arment who also provided music. ' The former resident pastor. Dr. N. H. Trasitt Jr.. and Mrs. Tragitt Mr. and Mrs. Orvillc Boyd and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McVeagh. all of Alturas, were among the guests. MUTINEERS KHARTOUM, Sudan iPl Mu tineers In the Southern Sudanese army who agreed last week to end their revolt were reported in hid ing Wednesday. A government spokesman here said "there is no news yet about the surrender." Government troops reoccupied To rit on the far Upper Nile Tuesday and said the bulk of the rebels had disappeared. It Is practically the only thing they export. Dumping the U.8. cotton surplus into Egypt'a markets would play havoc with Egypt's economy. Egypt is a key to Arab-Israeli peace and to continued cold shouldering of Communist at tempts to muscle in on the Middle East. The milk-producing Scandina vian countries might be alienated If American dairy surpluses showed up cheap on the world market. The grain-growing Cana dians never cease to fret that America's billion-bushel wheat surplus might be dumped. How can this five-bllllon-dollar of U.S. surpluses be- lamed before it tramples Its owner s hard-won foreign friendships? The Eisenhower administration Is reviewing the whole monumen lal question at this time. The warm wave flowing from this summer's Geneva summit conference might melt through the East-West trade barriers and thereby bring a solution, t short run at least. Hardly a week goes by that some member of Congress doesn't propose selling wheat to Russia or dropping It by the bagloads on Red China. Meanwhile, the government chips away with the tools it hrs and plans hopefully for the long haul. Its chief tool for disposing of farm surpluses abroad Is Public Law 480. This permits their' sale, barter or giveaway to "friendly countries." Russia and Red China are specifically barred. The law would have to be changed to bring them in. As of last June 30 a total of 21 agreements Involving nearly 470 million dollars In goods had been VISITOR CAIRO, Egypt OPi President Elsenhower's rov ng ambassador, Eric Johnston, arrived here Wednesday to talk over the Amer. ican-backed Plan for regional de velopment of the Jordan River waters.

OPEN LABOR DAY SEPT. 5th signed with 17 foreign governments under this legislation. To avoid dumping, the amounts are limited and controlled. A major provision Is that sales may be made for foreign currency. This money never reaches the United States, however. It is sim ply plowed back Into economic development of the country, gift of Uncle Sam. or used to pay off U.S. bills, such as for troop camps In Japan. A Hoover Commission task force took a swipe at a companion law in a report made publio this month. II complained: "The earmarking of dollar aid for surplus agricultural commodi ties leads to the appearance if not th rpalitv nf nrpssnrp nil reriniput nnnnlrlpR tn tttltp Amerirnn sur- i plus commodities. "This is hard to distinguish from dumping. In Its effect on world prices, world trading rela tions, and the distribution of agri cultural production worldwide." But officials who administer the lev defend it as a way out of the shortage of dollars abroad. They see the long range solution lu ultimately getting enough dollars in the hands of foreign buyers so they can pay the high price of U.S. farm goods. Happy Is The Day When Backache Goes Away ....
