US. kediators Spur
oil Plant Contracts as
Strike Is Called Off

Federal mediators, concentrat-
ing on nearly a score of disputes,
set their sights today on having
striking oil workers back on the
job by Monday.
The ways were creased when
%. A. Knight. leading a 22-union
strike coalition. said the 17-day-
old strike had been called off.
| But the problem of getting co.
900 workers back in the feflneries
and distribution centers requires
more than that. There are dozens
of individual contracts to be writ
ten, for the disputes were on a
plant and not an industry-wide
basis.
While the Wage Sterilization
Board has agreed to approve i'm
mediately any wage increase up
to Is cents, union demands for
might differentials will be treated
individually. Agreements on these
extra benefits may hold up some
settlements.
Is Settlements Stressed.
Because of the urgency of the
situation, leading to curtailment
of military and commercial flying
and sharp inroads in motor easo-
line stocks, the Federal Mediation
Service is pressing for settlements
in IS key points.
Some settlements were reported
yesterday and more are expected
today. There is reasonable hope
that shutdown refineries will be
lfunctioning again by Wednesday.
In the light of encouraging
prospects, the Petroleum Admin
listration for Defense removed
restrictions on deliveries of OIL
octane gasoline in Washington
State, Oregon, California, Alaska
and Hawaii for flights in and
between those areas. This type
of fuel is used in lighter trans
port planes.
Aviation Gas Pinched.
AVIATION gasoline still is a ma
jor problem, however, since it was
in short supply even before the
strike. The pinch is worldwide.
reaching as far as Australia and
Japan. ALLEGATIONS to the latter
country were cut 35 per cent, CIV
ing airlines $4,000 gallons for four
weeks.
Thanks to record reserves of
other types of fuel when the
strike began, experts believe there
will be no motor gasoline Short
ages this summer and that tourist
travel can resume at q normal
rate.
The avition gasoline shortage
|cought up with Trans World Air
lines, which heretofore had only
curtailed cargo flights. Effective
today, TWA has temporarily
suspended eight of its Is weekly
round-trip flights to Europe.
By grounding planes with low
est seating capacity, TWA hopes
to accommodate more passengers
on its II flights still operative.

who has just completed a two-year
assignment as commanding gen.
eral of the Military District of
Washington. today was on his way
to the Far East.

Gen. Wright to Take Post.
Gen. Herren will be succeeded
about June / as commanding gen.

being well taken care of in Wash
ington."
He pointed out that, in March
ZOO Washingtonians volunteered
their services to aid $4,000 service
personnel here. The officer paid

and social facilities, to the civil
defense authorities and to the
Metropolitan and Park Police. He
also spoke of the cooperation re-
celVeo from the press, radio ana

because large numbers have been
shipped from here to Korea.
E. K. Morris. first vice president
of the Kiwanis Club, presided at
the luncheon. The three Commits

Oregon Primary Today
Giving Eisenhower
First Test in West
BY the Associated Press

PORTLAND, Greg, May 49,
Oregon voters stepped up today to
tell their choice for president in
primary affording the first west
ern test of Gen. EisenhoWer'S pop
ularity.
Election officials predicted a rec
ord 60 per cent turnout-or bet
ter than 100000 of the 778,OOO
voters. Sunny weather was fore
cast throughout the day. Polling
hours are 9 am. to 9 pm. PDT
noon to midnight EDIT and
counting the eXtra-long ballot will
be slow job.
Gen. Eisenhower rates tops to
carry off the Republican preferen-
tial vote. AS the lone campaigner
on his party's ticket, Senator
Kefauver Of Tennessee appeared
certain to get the II Democratic
delegates.
Whether Eisenhower wins 10 or
all 18 Republican delegates de-
pends on the vote for eight un-
pledged delegates widely accepted
to favor Senator Taft of Ohio.
Senator Taft did not enter the
primary. All other delegates
signed a statement to support the
high-polling presidential candi-
date.
Some Taft followers sponsored
an appeal for write-inS for the
Ohio Senator. They have been
careful. however. not to make too
much of it. Even so, the gesture
vote looked like the closest chal-
lenge to Gov. Warren of Cali
fornia for second place.
OF the other COP entries: Ex-
Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Min
nesota waged only a brief CAM
paign. Gen. Macarthur and SEN
ator Morse of Oregon both made
it plain that they do not consider
themselves as candidates; in fact.
Senator Morse is running as an
Eisenhower delegate. William r.
Schneider, st. Louis attorney.
doesn't figure at all.
When the tallieS start rolling In
tonight. they also will show the
relative popularity of Senator
kefauver in the Far Vests first
primary-as against two promi-
nent Democrats who refused to
campaign. Supreme Court Justice
Douglas and Gov. Stevenson Of
Illinois were entered against their
wishes.
The appearance of the eight un-
pledged G. o. P. delegate -candi-
dates provided the only clash of
any consequence in the active but
otherwise even-tempered cam
paign.
Eisenhower people charged an
undercover move for Senator Taft.
The eight candidates denied it
but three signified that if elected
they would support Senator Taft.
The others have refused to COM
nit themselves.

Sufecruckers Avoid Tear Gas,
But End Up BoffIed and Broke

Frustrated safe crackers would
call this one a cryin' shame, even
after they carefully avoided the
tear gas.
With apparent knowledge of the
premises and conditions, they
spent a fruitlesS two hours last
night on a safe at the William
King & Son Coal Co., 29O1 K

They ripped off the side of the
strongbox because the front was

tools and left.
A scout car had checked the
place at 3 am. and then, as a
part of new police drive on safe
crackings, members of a special
squad checked again at $40 am.
They discovered the damage.
An official of the company said
the safe didn't have enough money
in it to pay the intruders for
their trouble even If they could
have opened it.
