Oregonians, through their demands over the years, have developed a "high service" past. The proposals endorsed by a legislative interim committee were killed. Other interim committee rec ommendations, the product of two years of study, were for the most part ignored.

(UP1I -Some 19,000 workers are expected to be idled because of strikes or shutdowns in the lumber industry from Northern California to Wash ington by tonight. Vice president Lowry Wyatt of Weyerhaeuser Co.. said Thursdav all operations of his firm and those of International Paper, Crown Zellerbach and Rayonicr at which members of the Inter national W oodworkers of America or the lumber and sawmill work ers union are employed would be closed alter the last shift today. The closure is in retaliation for a strike by the two unions against St. Regis Paper Co., and U. S. Plywood Corp.. two other mem bers of the Northwest big six lumber products firms. The strike was called after negotiations over a new contract were broken off. There were indications that talks might be resumed soon. In a statement announcing the shut down Wednesday, the big six pledged to continue negotiations j whenever the unions requested. Harvey Nelson, regional prcsi. dent of the IWA, said his union is willing to return to the bar gaining table "anytime the com panies are w illing to make a rea sonable offer." The two sides remain a long way apart on wages, and appar- ently some other issues as well. Both unions turned down a corti-1 pany offer of a 22-cent per hour wage increase over a three-year period.

Nelson charged the companies have refused to make a fair wage olfcr and have given no consideration to travel time pay for loggers. He said many loggers travel more than four hours a day in addition to their regular eight hour work schedule. "The employers also have tried to take away the privilege of a Monday through Friday work schedule which the union gained before tlie War Labor Board in 1942," Nelson contended. The companies asked that firms operating on weekend schedule be allowed to pay workers at regular instead of overtime rates for weekends. Meanwhile, work is continuity? under provisions of old contracts at 196 smaller firms represented by the timber operators council and at numerous independent companies. Wyatt, in a press con ference in Seattle, said it was un likely that any of them would join the big six in closing Nelson indicated no more strike action is contemplated by his un ion immediately. In answer to a question about furtlter Canadian inroads into American lumber markets as a result of the strike, Wyatt said, "I don't suppose they're unliappy. about this." -iKniil tliie Troops Back College Move WASHINGTON lUPIl The federal government is prepared to use troops to integrate the University of Alabama next week if necessary over the objections of Gov.
