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."

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.

The mayor said the publishers

to offer his own settlement for

he would propose a third-party

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."

WASHINGTON I UPD - Rep.
Walt Horan, R-Wash., said Friday

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...

He also spoke of the "stark
potential of another summer of

The message revealed that both
labor and management members

board had switched positions and
ejected the idea.
"I have been informed by
pokesmen for both the Associated

alternative. "
The alternative calls for an
