Pt w. 1 I -""""S "What do you mean, 'It I did progress Seen In NY Printer Sirike Talks NEW YORK (UPI -Printers Union President Bertram Powers said Saturday progress was made on at least one issue in the 85-day-old strike during negotiations with publishers Friay. Powers, before going into joint session again with the publishers, said "We spent the entire day (Friday I on the automation issue. The issue was not resolved but some progress was made." : A mood of harmony reportedly prevailed in Friday's face-to-face talks, which lasted from noon to midnight with time out for meals. But there was no word on wheth er tne two sides moved any closer to agreement. The New York Post, planning lo resume publication Monday aft er breaking away from the Pub lishers Association of New York City, faced a possible advertiser's boycott. One of the city's largest adver tisers, the huge Macy's depart ment store, already has announced it would not buy space in the Post at this time. "Macy's takes no position with respect to the merits of the cur rent labor dispute," the Macy's statement declared. "We do feel, however, that to support one newspaper without advertising when the others are not available might put undue pressure on them to settle regardless of merit. We prefer not to do this." Mavor Robert F. Wagner, who Hintz Bond Pay Claimed SALEM l'P! Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Friday he had applied to a Chicago firm for payment of the late Gen. Al fred E. , Hintz's surety bond of $5,000. Thornton said the application lo the Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co. was based on an official audit that indicated Hintz directed the unauthorized sale of surplus prop erty. Thornton's action was the latest development in a military scandal revolving around Camp Withy combe that leached public notice last year. It has been estimated the slate's liability from irregularities in Ihe State Military Department could reach $40,000. Thornton said it appeared that certain other officers had know ifev permitted the unauthorized expenditure of state and federal funds. He said there was a $10,000 blanket surely bond on the other officers, but no claim would be made until the amount of the loss was a-tablished. The matter has been under in vestigation recently both by the secretary' of state s oitice and By a legislative committee. Burner Fire Damages Wall Fire apparently started by an overheated trash burrer damaged a wall between the kitchen and living room in tlie home of Don Smith. Rtc. 1. Box 926, Morning side Une. early Friday morning the Klamath County Fire Depart ment has reported. County firemen were summoned to tlie fire at 1 46 a.m. and ex tinguished the blaze before 3: 15 a.m. The fire burned in tlie wall up tlirough the ceiling but did not damaee the roof, firemen said. I Coo4i-to-CxutX dKEWSPAPEIS SELLTKE KOSJ: If V 1 looks like a child did W? it!' said negotiations are in the "last- ditch" stage, described Friday's talks as harmonious. The mayor said the publishers and printers had asked him not to offer his own settlement for mula while negotiations were still under way. Wagner said last week he would propose a third-party solution, as suggested by Presi dent Kennedy, but only when he is convinced further talks would be fruitless. The Post was one of five dailies that suspended operations in tlie city when printers went on strike against four others the Times. News, World-Telegram & Sun and Journal-American. P.

These organiza-l lions enlist Ihe aid of business and Wilderness Bill Power Fires Senatorial Fight WASHINGTON (UPD - Sen- ate Interior Committee members clashed again Friday over w hether tlie wilderness bill would give too much power lo executive agen cies. The bill, introduced by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D-N.M., and cosponsored by 21 other senators, would set aside millions of acres of forested and other lands in their natural state. Sen. Gordon Allott, R-Colo, who says he does not oppose a nation al wilderness system, charged again that the bill would turn over congressional powers to the executive branch. Anderson complained he was getting tired of "constant infer enccs" that the bill would be un constitutional. Sen'.' Lee Metcnlf, D-Mont., joined in denying the bill would result in u.icoustilutional delegation of power. But Allott said he had never said it was unconstitutional, add ing that his criticisms were based on a "basic and fundamental dif ference in philosophies of govern ocnl." The exchange came during tes timony by William C. Hammerle, a spokesman for the American Pulpwood Association, New York Hammerle said his organization was opposed lo a provision to per mit the President to designate lands to be placed into the wild erness system unless Congress op posed. He said congressional ac tion should be "positive" tV.hor than "negative." The spokesman for the pulpwood industry also called for periodic review lo prevent lands being frozen forever" inlo tlie system. Spokesmen (or the forest indus tries, which support uic concept of "Multiple use." generally said they favored a wilderness system but opposed Anderson's bill. H.R. Glascock Jr., speaking for the Western Forestry and Conser vation Association, Portland, Ore., said lands should not be placed into the system until they had lieen classified for "highest use." John R. Meyering, testifying for the Society of American Forest ers, said the organization "sup ports wholeheartedly the concept of wilderness preservation." But he added that members were sat isfied with present methods of setting up wilderness areas through administrative action. "Therefore," Meyering said, "we oppose tlie proposed wilder ness act as being unnecessary." ends PACE J-A JOIN WITH ...... , . civic organizations to provide 4-H awards and educational materials, publish the national 4-H Club mag azine, sponsor the 4-H Club Con gress, operate a 4-11 supply serv ice, and supervise the Interna tional Farm Youth Exchange pro gram and the 4-H Peace Corps.

Roberts, Mayor of McCall, Idaho, said tlie Idaho Legislature had passed a resolu lion calling for Congress lo "con sider carefully" before letting more public land in that state be classified as wilderness. Horan Calls For Quota WASHINGTON I UPD - Rep. Walt Horan, R-Wash., said Friday Ihe United States does not mind sharing its lumber market with Cnnada. "but not the extent of killing off our producers." Horan reiterated his c&'! for a (1 per cent quota on U.S. imports of softwood lumber, which are currently estimated by industry spokesmen at more than 17 per cent of consumption. Resolutions calling for quota ac tion against Canada's $280 mil lion a year softwood lumber sales in the United Slates have been introduced in both the House and Senate. Other bills introduced in I h e House last week and in the Sen ate Thursday would restrict Canadian lumber sales through other means. Horan also inserted in Ihe record an article by Rep. Jack Westland. R-Wash., on Ihe need for U.S. government action. "We who represent districts in which the American softwood lum ber industry is sick and in real (rouble are trying to help prevent the demise of that Industry." Horan said.

Hatfield made the comments in. a special message to the legisla ture. It also included a labor-management alternate to the earlier plan and revealed the governor had been working on a program lo halt work stoppages on state' projects. The governor also called for single anniversary dates to be es-' tablished for industry-wide con tracts. He warned in his message: "Today I would give the most possible emphasis to another cloud on the horizon the repetition of a shutdown of the construction industry in the summer of 1963... 1 would be remiss if I did not alert you to what may lie ahead unless wc find solutions. He also spoke of the "stark potential of another summer of idle machines, idle men, and Ihe individual and collective economic rack and ruin lhat results." The message revealed that both labor and management members of the l!Kil governor's commission which proposed a voluntary labor management relations mediation board had switched positions and ejected the idea. "I have been informed by pokesmen for both the Associated General Contractors and for the (instruction crafts that they do not support this concept... and I have even been told that there is nothing the legislature could write n this area (because of the inter- late aspects! lhat would bo heeded." Hatfield said. A bill to creale the governor's labor-management relations com mittee as suggested by the gov ernor's commission and the inter im committee is now under con sideration by the legislature. 'When I learned there was a repudiation of tlie proposal." the governor said, I prevailed upon the primary construction unions and the Associated General Con tractors to suggest workable alternative. " The alternative calls for an Oregon construction labor-man-! agement committee" made up of labor and management represen tatives.
