McDonald, a member of the striking Stcrcotypcrs Union local negotiating committee, and s; ill more accusations against him are reported. The fresh indictment is a sub- dilute for one McDonald's attor ncy had attacked. The new accusations were dis a new weekly which is the official rewspager of the Portland lnler L'nion Newspaper Committee. The Reporter printed a story (laying two newspaper union men had "disclosed to authorities they declined alleged assignments to blow up trucks at a third firm the night of the newspaper, truck dy namiting" Jan. 31. The Reporter went on to ay it had learned from an unimpeach able source that the men's state ments identified .McDonald as having assigned them to do the bombing. They said dynamite was found buried on a Clackamas County farm where they had re ported it. According to the statements the two men were unaware of a bombing plan until dynamite was put in their car and they were in structed to plant it in trucks of the Johnston Brothers, a contract hauler for the Journal and The Oregonian. They said they refused I to do it. But that night, Jan. 31, 10 trucks owned by other haulers for the newspapers were dynamited. Four men arrested later aid Mc Donald paid them $400 to do it. McDonald, 52, whose union ttarted the strike Nov. 10 against the newspapers, was arrested and deniiyj gailt. In a series of motions his at torneys have tried to get the in dictment against him dismissed on grounds that it is faulty. Glenn Geurts, deputy district attorney, had the indictment dropped in a surprise move Wed nesday but quickly presented a new similar one from the Multno mah County grand jury, which still was in session. McDonald's attorney expressed the opinion the new one also is faulty and said it probably will be attacked. per, and paperboard industry will i slight increase in l!io Is In line increase 3 8 per cent in lo. a with the pattern in recent years trade survey reported Thursday.cwf a sharp advance followed by Benjamin Slatin, economist of the American Paper and Pulp Assn., said total capacity in place at the end of the year was expected to rise to 123.290 tons a day frum 1 1B.771T Inns at the end of lil.ifr In terms of the industry's historic 310-313 days per year of operation, this would raise annual capacity to 38,6!K,000 tons from 37,289,000 tons a year earlier.

WALKER I PI f inancial Editor NEW YORK U'Pli The utility average, youngest oi me trio oi famous Dow-Jones market meas urements, now stands just about where it was when the Injure was born on Jan. 2. 1929. It started its hie at 8S.M. rose i a record high of 11161 on Sept. 21, 1929 and then slipped downward until July 8. 1932, when it set its low at 16.53. Since this average was born some 32 years after the indus trial Htui rail averages it isn t even considered by the followers of the Dow theory. That theory says a movement to be valid in the industrials must be confirmed by the railroad acragc. and vice ersa. But there's no mention of the poor orphan the utility aver age Market operators have come to regard the utility group as a de fensive set of stocks that are good to buy when the other ma jor groups are suflering from ri.i-n-ionnarv inflllpncps.
