A Nationalist olliccr and Iwn soldiers were reported killed as the Reds lohhed over 444 shells at the offshore island group at the northern end of the Formosa Strait. The Nationalists said 102 Red shells hit Matsu. 112 landed on near Peikantang Islaifd and 170 dropped ,into the sea. The barrasc reportedly de stroyed six civilian homes on the two islands. The Nationalist Defense Minis try said the Red mainland bat teries were silenced aflcr !M minutes by effective counter-fire. An hour before the fled guns opened up on Matsu, in Commu nist ships tired on Nationalist warships which sighted them west of the little island. The IJelensc Ministry said the Nationalist ships returned the fire and the Red craft fled. A few hours before the Reds had hurled 84 shells at their us ual target the Qucmoy Islands 150 miles south of Matsu. It was the first lime the Reds have shelled Matsu since April 28, 1M7, but Communist batteries hit Peikanlang with 23 shells in a 14 minute barrage last Wednesday. Nationalist circles have been predicting for several weeks that the Reds might try lo stage a new crisis in the Formosa Strait lo warn the West there could be trouble in this area unless conces sions arc made to the Soviets on Berlin and Germany. Foreign observers are inclined to make light of such fears. Rear Adni. Liu Hoh-tu, spokes man of the Defend Ministry, dc clined to say whether he thought the attack was a prelude to major cction. Matsu less than 4 square miles in area lies 9'i miles from the mainland. Peikanlang covering about 2'j square miles, is seven miles from the mainland.

Gold Exports Rise To Meet Import Needs WASHINGTON 'API Treasury oflicials say the Uniled States will not devaluate the dollar despite the increasing xflow of gold from the country. As of last Tuesday, the Treasury reported Friday, there was about 204 billion dollars worth of gold on hand. This meant that almost 200 million dollars worth moved to foreign countries in about six weeks. On Tuesday alone, the The Federal Aviation Agency and McChord Air Force Base, Wash., said they had no reports of any -planes in distress or miss ing off the Oregon coast. The Coast Guard said a Boeing 707 jet had been flying in the area olf. Cannon Beach Sunday after noon and that ils jet trail as it streaked over the horizon may have been the basis for the report. Guy A..Luttrcll of St. Helens, Ore., told the Cannon Beach Fire Department that he saw a smok ing plane crash into the sea far offshore Sunday. In the search that i followed. five military aircralt searched up to 20 miles oflshore. along wun the cutter Yacona and a number of smaller vessels. The search was tailed off late Sunday night. WASHINGTON lv-A bill to put the nation's jobless youth to work in the forests as was done in Ihe 1930s drew strong support at Sen ate Labor Subcommittee hearings last week. Among witnesses backing the bill. which would set up a youth con servation corps, were some of the 20 senators cosponsoring it and House members who introduced identical measures. Other backers included spokes men for conservation, youth, labor, veterans and other groups inter ested in developing resources of the nation, taking boys off the streets, and putting them on constructive outdoor jobs. Ihe bill, whose chief sponsor is Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey D Minn), is aimed at "providing healthful outdoor training and cm ployment for young men and to advance the conservation, develop incnt and management of national resources of timber, sou and range and of recreational areas. The nrneram. reminiscent of the old Civilian Conservation Corps of the depression era of the l!)30s would cost an estimated 375 mil lion dollars a year. Its advocates claim this cost would be small compared with its enormous bene fits. Up to 150.000 youths, between 16 and 22 would be enrolled in the YCC for work in the forests, parks and on other federal lands.

In London, the price of gold bullion in the free world reached its high est point since postwar trading be gan live years ago. The obvious implication was lhaf speculators expect the Uniled States to raise the price it will pay lor gold, another way of say ing it will devaluate the dollar. But Treasury officials here scoff at this suggestion. Devaluation would be a last resort, they indi cate, taken only in case of dire circumstances. And such circum stances are nol foreseen now, they say. But officials do show concern. Some action would have to be taken il gold keeps up its steady outllow. Last year, $2,300,000,000 worth of gold a record moved out of the country. According to law. the Ircasury must have enough gold to cover at least 25 per cent of the money supply. Last year, there was enough to cover 47 per cent. Now there is only enough (or 42 per cent. International trade accounts for the shut of gold. The United Stales has been importing large amounts ol guods and services. But there has been a big drop in exports. And it is continuing. Because ol this.

Newsmen get their information secondhand, Irom spokesmen for the lour pow crs known as briefing officers. The Western briefings are pret ty much routine. The Soviet trie! ings are something like a film test. Reporters get shot Irom ev cry angle. For some reason, Soviet and east European photographers take lar more pictures ol correspond ents than they do of the Soviet delegation's official spokesman Mikhail karlamov. Even when the Soviets produced such a diplomatic star as Deputv Foreign Minister Valerian onn at a Dress briefing their cameras switched from correspondent to correspondent. The Soviet briefings take place on the second floor of the press center. The room is huge, high ceihnged and well lighted. Flood lights play over the big audience ol journalists Ironl all over the world. Ask Karlamov a question and vou're nearly always shot. Or, just sit there and lake notes and you'll find a movie cameraman training his lens on you. One Western reporter asked one of the Soviets why they seem so preoccupied with taking pictures of newsmen. Just part of the job. was the laconic reply. ' Ship Owners, Dock Chiefs Negotiate By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Pa cific Coast longshoremen and ship owners start negotiating a new contract today and the big issue appears to be the question of man vs. machine. More and more, mechanization is moving onto the docks. More cargo is being pre-packed away from the docks in giant con tainers that go to shipside as trail er vans. The huge containers are hoisted aboard by powcrtul cranes. Even ships are being modified to handle cargo vans of up lo 40 ton capacity that rest on trailer beds and are ready for the high ways when Ihe ship docks. ror two years Harry Bridges independent International Long- horemen s and Warehousemen s Union and the employer group, Pa cific Maritime Assn., have dis cussed mechanization as it affects labor. Both sides have done research I the problem. Mechanization also is sometimes called conlain- crization, or unitization, or auto mation. The longshoremen About 17.000 strong on ihe Pacific Coast have made it clear mechanization is the big issue. The ILWU newspaper, lne Dis patcher," recently carried this ban nerlinc: "Longshoremen demand automation benefits." In a story about the ILWU con vention at Seattle in April, the pa per sain: 1 His caucus action made it clear the lorgshorcmen are going to seek Ihe job security and increased wages made possible by mechanization and are prepared to fight to prevent the kind of situa tion which has developed in oilier industries where new techniques have led to large-scale unemploy ment. The newspaper said the Inng horemen approved a mechan ization plan "which provides for an hour's straight lime pay to be placed into a lunti for the regis tered men lor every hour of pro duction that is saved by any and all improvement factors as meas ured against past performances." An employer group oflicial de clined to say what he considered .he big issue or issues this year. but said there has been considcr- aolc discussion for two years of the mechanization problem. Actually, spokesmen lor bolh the PMA and ILWU refuse to discuss issues In detail because of impend ing negotiations. However, one union official did say longshoremen feel ihere should be no. reduction in the overall work lorce despile the advances of mechanization. He said Hip union is agreeable to some shuttling of assignments. hut dockers leel they should "have a slake in savings that accrue from cheaper cargo handling." Both union and employer sirarc es say Bridges hopes lo develop profil for labor from mechaniza tion, and in turn expects that long shoremen must accept more flexi bility in assignments to fill out a day s work. A PMA representative. John D. MacEvoy, said the employers are not prepared to reveal any de mands or counter-aemanus ttiev will make when negotiations open in San rrancisco as they have not yet received the ILWU demands The union's Seattle convention called for: a wage Increase of cents per straight time hour for workers on a 6-hour basis and 22 cents lor workers on an 8-hour basis: a 2-cent per manhour in crease in employer contributions !o the joint welfare plan fund; five paid holidays annually. At present the basic dock rates are $2 63 an hour lor stevedores. IV 15 an hour lor loremen and $2.79 an hour (or clerks. The contract expires June 15. would be paid S7S a month for planting trees, fighting fires and limber diseases and insects, con structing small dams, campground and recreation facilities and other work. Humphrey told'the committee the program would "very nearly pay lor itself in ' terms of increased timber productivity alone." He' said the proposal has warm support from such people as judges of probate courts, welfare workers. secondary school educators and those who daily work with young people in trouble." They believe, he said, "that a conservation corps would go very lar in channeling young people away from the direction of delinquency." Among witnesses was John Mo han of Helena, Montana, national commander of the Veterans ol For eign Wars. He said the CCC built responsible citizens and good sol diers in the last generation. Conrad Wirth, National Park di rector, said the old CCC did good work in the parks. He recommend ed that any similar program be based on the dignity and value of conservation work, on the need for work" and not on the unem ployment factor. Sen. James E. Murray D- Monti offered the services of the Senate Interior Committee staff "in every possible way in mar shaling the facts and information needed." He is chairman of the Interior Committee. Murray said the CCC did a "tre mendous amount of effective con servation work" in Montana and elsewhere during the depression. Ihe proposed organization would have an advantage because more is known now about resource de velopment needs than in the 1930s, Murray said. Murray said the Youth Conser vation Corps could plant trees on 560,000 of the 48.000,000 acres need ing reforestation in the next 10 years. In addition, he said, 11 million acres ol forest lands need prun ing. thinning and other treatment 535 flood prevention structures and 10 stream pollution control proi ects should be built; and four mil lion acres of lorest range need revegetation or control of noxious plants.
