Some Oil Settlements
Reported, but Most
Of Plants Stay Shut
BY the Associated Press

DENVER, May 21.-Major seq
ments of the Nations oil industry
remained closed down today as an
estimated 10000 workers refused
to ratify or failed to reach back
to-work agreements.
Scattered settlements were re-
ported, mostly among small locals.
o. A. Knight, president of the Oil
Workers International Union
(CIO) estimated that only about
one-third of the 10000 refinery
and pipeline workers who walked
out April 80 have returned to
their jobs. Mr.. Knight predicted
that nearly all the strikers would
be back by the end of this week.
However, talks between the CIO
union and the Tide Water Associ-
alton in San Francisco broke off
last night with statement by
union representative Verlin Nc
Kendree that "if this is an indica-
ton of what the industry is plan
ming here. strike is inevitable
in California"
California Refineries Open.
California refineries have kept
working to supply the Korean war
effort.
The Tide Water refinery en-
ploys 1900 workers. The union
objected to a 712 per cent in
crease averaging IS cents an hour
rather than a straight 15-cent
raise.
Negotiations at the struck
Standard Oil of Indiana refinery
at Whiting. Ind.-a plant en-
ploying 1000 men-also collapsed
last night.
Other Terms Rejected.
Spokesman for the Central
States Petroleum Union 0nd.)
said a company offer Of a Is
cent hourly wage boost was ac-
ceptable. but other contract terms
were not.
Leaders Of the coalition Of %
CIO. AFL and independent
unions who called the strike
three weeks ago said last week
they would accept a Wage Stabili-
zation Board suggestion Of Is
cents an hour, plus more pay for
night work. The former scale was
81 to $2.10 an hour for day work.

REGIONAL VD
TREATMENT
CENTERS SLATED

JACKSONVILLE - Florida's
continuing battle against venereal
diseases will take a significant
new turn in June when the State
Board of Health closes down the
Rapid Treatment Center in Mel
bourne and puts several regional
treatment and control centers
into service.
Announcement that the Mel
bourne VD facility would stop
accepting patients for hospital
treatment as of June l came to-
day from DIR. Wilson T. Sowder
OF Jacksonville, State Health Of
The seven regional treatment
centers win be located in Pensa-
cola, Tallahassee, Jacksonville,
Tampa, Miami, West Palm Beach
and at Melbourne or Orlando.
Present plans call for temporary
operation at Melbourne, with a
transfer to Orlando as soon as de-
tails can be arranged.
$50 much progress has been
made in deviSing treatment meth
DDS for VenereaI diseases in re-
cent years." says DR.. Sowder,
"that it is now entirely practical
to treat such cases on an out
patient or clinic visit basis, in
stead of having to admit them to
a hospital.
ga proportionately greater
share of this work also is being
performed by private physicians,
who can use the new anti-bioticS
in the rapid treatment of syphilis
and gonorrhea.
Those unable to afford treat
ment by private physicians will
find these new treatment and
control centers conveniently 10
Gated about the state, where they
may go, receive diagnostic or
treatment service and return to
their homes within a period Of a
few hours, thus eliminating stay
in the hospital"
Each of the centers will provide
full-time diagnoStic, treatment
and interviewing services to its
surrounding area on a full-time
basis. The territory to be served
by the Miami center is as follows:
Monroe, Collier, Broward and
Dade.

HAS NEW OWNER VALLEY GROCERY

Purchase of the building equipment, stock, and adjacent property of the Valley Grocery was completed this week by Larry Bixby, formerly of Kirk's Sales and Service, who is the new owner and manager, and Everett and Jean May Yohn, former owners.
 The Yohns opened their gro- cery business in the new North Palmer store they had built about three years ago. Later they ex- banded their building to provide space for Palmer Washeteria, which was in business until re- gently. Bixby also bought out Al Saxton's lease for this space. His plans for this space are in doubt; he might rent 1t and he might en- large the present grocery.
 Bixby, who has been managing the store since April 21, is in the process Of expanding his stock. He plans to have a better variety of all items, and more of them. He will receive shipments of fresh produce twice weekly.
 A Valley resident for the past six years, Bixby has had previous grocery experience in Michigan. He and his wife and their son, Douglas, have nearly completed a spacious home on the Anchorage Highway.
 Everett and Jean May Yohn are both second generation Col onists. With Ev in the States on business and for medical treat ment, their future plans have not been announced.

As PaImer's Best" Debris Foster Wins Music Festival Cup

-- Palmer Schools band and chor- us took part in the mass band and chorus of Saturday night concert in Anchorage's High School Auditorium that marked the close of the two-day Music Festival in which students from five Alaskan cities participated.
 During the concert, Debris Foster was presented with a gold cup as the Palmer Schools best all around musician. Similar cups were presented to the chosen students from Fairbanks, Anchor age, Seward Cordova and Fort Richardson schools. The Palmer winner won first place in the bat on-tWirling senior event, and was also member of both the chorus and the band. Another Palmerite, fifth-grader Muriel Hanks, won the baton-tWirling junior event
 Determination of the winners in the solo events has not been announced, but certificates will be sent to the winners when de- cisions are reached. Representing Palmer School were trumpet so- loists Gary Krise and Jimmy Joy, trombone soloist Kermit King, and vocal soloists Lowell Krise and Annie Havemeister. A Pal mer lad, fifth-grader Charles Coe, private pupil of an Anchorage studio, was the only contestant in the violin solo event.
 No ratings were given to the individual bands and choruses that took part in the festival. However, impartial observers from Palmer-remarked that Di- rector John Zawalniki's blue and white clad Palmer band, led by the attractive Majorettes, was the classiest looking outfit in the 10- block parade of the bands in thelr march from the Anchorage High School, down Fourth Avenue, ana back to the high school. Palmer color bearers, carrying American and Territorial flags borrowed from the local Boy Scouts, head ed the parade.
 Following the concert Saturday night, the Palmer musicians were guests at a Musicians Mixer held in the Anchorage High School Cafeteria. They danced to music donated by the Aleutian Gardens until l1:30 pm, when they left for home and Palmer. According to the favorable comments, An chorage was a very good host to the visiting musicians. Direc- tors of the several bands and choruses decided to have the Music Festival a yearly event to

fad a new twist. raided the mems
dormitory area at Florida South

Released from their rooms for a
group singing in the courtyard. the

mems dormitories without any ap-
parent advance planning.
They did not enter the mems
rooms but stood under the windows
screaming: "SiSSies, sissies!"
The men responded to the dare
instantly. Some 800 of them
charged out, chased the co-eds
back to the girls dormitories, and
milled around for two hours. Sever
al attempts to get into the girls
rooms were unsuccessful.
The goods taunted the men from
the windows. A few pairs of panties
were tossed out.
A group of male students later
went to the sorority area a block
away and broke into one house.
Five were arrested by city police
inside the house.
The demonstration was broken
