Dock Labor Violence
By the Assoeioted Press

THE DALLES, Oreg., Sept. 90
State police patrolled the water
front of this inland Columbia
River city today to curb what the
Governor called "banditry" by
CIO longshoremen.
Union strife stemming from the
four month"; Hawaiian strike
flared yesterday when stevedores
mobbed non-union dock workers
and sent two AFL truck drivers
to a hospital. They halted the
unloading of a barge of Hawaiian
pineapples berthed here Satur-
day.
1--WE won't tolerate that in
Oregon" said Gov. Douglas Nc
Kay. Harry Bridges is not run
ming the State of Oregon"
The Governors statement came
after the Wasco County (The
Da1les) Circuit Court issued ar
order restraining the ILWU from
.picketing and any interference
on the waterfront or highways
in the area.
Situation Out Of Control.
Gov. Mckay said he had ordered
State officers to the waterfront
after local authorities declared
the situation was beyond theil
control.
ILWU Business Agent Tony
Christensen said last night that
the dock workers might not work
at the major river port.
Were not telling the boys not
to go to work tomorrow. That's
illegal under Taft-Hartley Qaw)
We've got a contract to work. But
If they think they'd rather take
drive up the new Coloumbia
River highway to see the scenery
we can't stop them" Mr.. Chris
tenson said.
Portland ILWU Local President
Robert T. Baker added. "All we
want is for them to send that
pineapple barge back where it
came from"
About 200 CIO longshore pickets
from Portland stormed the NUM-
cipal dock here late yesterday
after two trucks were loaded and
as two others pulled onto the ter
minal ramp. In a few minutes
they brushed aside city police and
deputized citizens, dragged two
drivers from the loaded trucks
and smashed windshields and
motors.
Then they ran to the piles OF
fruit cases, mauled the unloading
crew and dumped cases of the
cargo into the river.
Clarence Rosales, SO, San Jose
Calf, was in hospital with two
broken vertebrae. He told Port
land Oregonian reporter the Sar
Francisco and Portland teamstel
locals had cleared the job" He
added: "And what happened-we
go out here on the dock and ge,
our heads beat in"
The other injured driver, Ray
mond Curto, 40, also of San Jose
has broken rib and head bruises
The fruit is owned by the
Hawaiian Pineapple Co. Richarc
Botley. president of the Affiliated
Isleways, Inc, said last night
there would be no further attempt
to unload the barge until I'VE are
assured there will be no violence.

Wedding bells will ring in Paris
early this winter for an attractive
bachelor and this will be news of
great interest to Washington So
ciety. Mr.. Warren Delano Rob-
bins, jr., son of handsome and
chic Mrs. Robbins and the late
United States Minister to Canada,
is going to be married.
A former member of our diplo-
matte service, Mr.. Robbins is now
with a bank in the French capital.
His BRIDE elect, pretty 20-year-old
Miss Margaret Dudley. is going
there in late November and the
ceremony is to take place shortly
after her arrival.
The daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lyman Dudley, the bride-to-be
has lived in Buenos Aires with
her parents most of her life. Her
father has been prominent
architect in the Argentine capital
for twenty years. But he plans to
retire shortly and bring his family
back to the United States to live.
They undoubtedly will accompany
their daughter abroad.
Mrs. Robbins is definitely going
to Paris for the big event. She
now is in Wellesley, Mass. where
she went to be on hand when her
newest grandchild arrived. The
infant, an 8l2-pound girl, made
her appearance September Is and
her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
ander Cochran Forbes. have
named the baby. Felicity Irene,
for her fond grandmother. The
child is the third of the Forbes.
Sandra is now aged II and Charles
Stewart about 8 years. Mrs.

There is no definite answer to
