Oregon contains 26 million acres of commercial timber. PITTSBURGH (AP) The U.S. Justice Department has filed suit against five area real estate associations charging them with conspiring to maintain artificially high commission rates through the multiple listing of real estate. The civil suit, filed Wednesday believed to be the first of its kind in the country alleges the defendants have, over many years, eliminated price competition in the sale of area properties. Named as defendants in the suit are the Greater Pittsburgh Board of Realtors; East Suburban Multilist Real Estate Brokers, South Hills Multilist, and Greater Pittsburgh Multilist Council.

William A. DeStefano, who filed the suit for the Justice Department, said the defendants had conspired to maintain high commission rates by: agree-upon uniform rates of commissions and fees. banks and other financial institutions which refused to pay these rates. to the uniform splitting of fees made on cooperative sales. to accept listings at rates less than those agreed upon.

(AP) T- When Gary Long, 24, of Little Rock went to court contesting a parking ticket which alleged that his car was parked four hours in a two- hour zone, it ended in a draw.

Unionists Protest Ban On Pickets NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) An estimated 20,000 union members ignored heavy rainfall and marched three miles from, a shopping mall to the Montgomery County courthouse here today to protest a court ban on picketing.

The rain, however, forced cancellation of three planned speeches outside the courthouse. Gov. Milton Shapp has declared a state of emergency for the county and the State Police have deployed 2,000 of Pennsylvania's 4,000 troopers as a precaution. Thomas Magrann, business manager of the Building and Trades Council of Philadelphia, said traffic began piling up around 4 a.m. State police report that traffic on the Pennsylvania Turnpike which is adjacent to the mall was clogged with traffic for five miles in either direction.

Parking was becoming a problem and police were trying to keep traffic moving in the area. Small parking lots in the area were jammed and the main lot surrounding the shopping mall was also filling. Union officials predicted the march would be peaceful, pointing to some 1,100 parade captains on hand to maintain order. "This is going to be a peaceful demonstration and an orderly march," Magrann said. "There'll be be no violence whatsoever." After consulting with State Police Commissioner Col.

Rocco P. Urella, Magrann said that union members who were enroute to the march could return home to aid in the flood emergency which hit several areas of the state. The protest is aimed at a court order banning picketing at a construction site in nearby King of Prussia which was struck by violence 10 days ago. Montgomery County Judge Vincent Cirillo enjoined labor demonstrations at the site of a new Sheraton Hotel under construction by the Altemose Construction Co. after equipment was damaged and random fires broke out around the incomplete hotel.

At one point there, were brief clashes and 155 union men were arrested for disturbing the peace, but all were released after paying light fines. Some observers predicted more than 30,000 building tradesmen and other unionists would join today's march, making it one of the biggest labor protests in Pennsylvania history. Municipal police forces mustered every man available to handle traffic, leaving the march itself to the state police. The FBI said agents would be on hand as "official observers," Nationar Guardsmen were expected to be standing by, and state police helicopters were to fly patrols over the area. Construction work in the Philadelphia area was expected to come to a standstill during the demonstration.

Unions outside the building trades, such as the Teamsters, the Transport Workers Union and the International Longshoremen's Association indicated some of their members would join the protest. But Edward F. Toohey, president of the Philadelphia AFL- CIO Council, insisted there was "no chance" the demonstration would shut down rail, bus and other mass transit services. The demonstrators planned to assemble in Plymouth Meeting at 6 a.m., then march three miles to the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown. The protest, as planned, would end shortly before noon.

The governor's emergency proclamation required all state licensed establishments in the area which sell alcoholic beverages to remain closed between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. today, Shapp said county and local officials had requested the action. ft tfty, Jwn 33, Sweeping Changes An Air Of Change In The House Of Medicine SAN FRANCISCO (AP) At the height of debate this week on a touchy issue before the American Medical Association, a silver-haired delegate stepped to a microphone and thundered: "If this matter is deferred, someone else is going to take the ball and run with it and we'll be left out in the cold." There's an air of change these days about the House of Medicine. The 241-member AMA House of Delegates frequently was admonished during four days of deliberations this week to change medicine or someone else would do it.

Organized medicine's most powerful body made some efforts to respond. Delegates approved sweeping changes in the control of graduate medical education, for the first time giving hospital officials and the public a say in how interns and medical specialists are trained. The delegates voted major constitutional and by-law changes which gave medical students a seat in the House of Delegates and new membership status in the AMA. After giving interns and residents (doctors training to be specialists) a seat in the powerful House last year, the Abortion Ban Bill Near Vote The Altemose firm which said it suffered $300,000 damages, in the previous protests sought the court order, which forbids picketing at all Altemose work sties. The nonunion firm pays its workers less than union wages, leading to charges by the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO, that it is undercutting construction workers unions.

Bernard Katz, the trade council's attorney, said the ban on picketing would "set the labor movement in the state back 45 years" if it was not removed. Katz said he was in the process of appealing the case to the State Supreme Court. On the hardness scale, pearls are ranked to 4 compared with 1 for talac and 10 for diamonds, according to Encyclo- paedia Britannica. HARRISBURG, Pa. Pennsylvania House of Representatives is preparing for a final vote on a bill which would ban abortions in nearly every situation, including cases in which pregnancy results from rape or incest.

The vote, scheduled for today, comes three weeks after a special commission of women appointed by Gov. Milton J. Shapp recommended abortion on demand up to the 16th week of pregnancy. On Wednesday night, however, the House tightened up the final version of its proposed abortion law by further narrowing the provision allowing a mother to seek an abortion if her life is endangered by childbirth. Under the amended proposal, a three-doctor panel would rule whether a woman who feels her life is jeopardized by pregnancy, may have an abortion.

New wording stipulated there must be "reasonable medical certainty" that pregnancy "will result in the death of the woman." In approving the new language, the House also included the requirement that any woman who seeks an abortion to save her life must have the written permission of her husband, if she is married. The latest amendment and refurbished language in the only provision of the measure permitting abortions is the work of the bill's sponsor, Rep. Martin P. Mullen of Philadelphia. During debate Tuesday night Mullen argued vociferously against allowing doctors to authorize abortions when the patient's life is endangered.

He said unless the physicians were required to prove "reasonable medical the law would "open up a Pandora's Box giving doctors more, discretion than they deserve." The strict anti-abortion measure, considered almost certain to pass today and go to the Senate, is the last chapter in the House's rejection of liberalized abortion. Gov. Milton J. Shapp, who says he personally does not favor abortions, left the matter up to his appointed study group of women. The governor, a Democrat, said since abortion is a woman's matter, he would endorse their proposals, and would recommend that the legislature follow suit.

When the abortion on demand proposal was introduced, the House turned it down by a vote of 186-14. Other compromise liberal measures were defeated by similar votes. Abortion reform in Pennsylvania began as a legal matter. The state's current law prohibits "all illegal abortions." Two county courts have declared the law unconstitutional because it is vague. delegates this week approved in principle opening membership on the AMA's powerful inner councils and committees to the young physicians.

And, after long debate, they voted to support making possession of "insignificant" amounts of marijuana only a misdemeanor, although the House condemned production, sale or use of the drug. But despite the changes, the AMA to many doctors remains a citadel of medical conservatism. The delegates, for example, readily adopted a report critical of an amendment to the Social Security Act, now before Congress, that would permit professional standards review organizations to oversee doctors' medical practices and fees. The AMA argues that only doctors should judge how doctors handle medical problems and that the review organizations would permit to participate. A movement to put the AMA on record as recognizing the public's right to participate in setting medical fees in federally financed health care programs was deferred for further study.

Likewise, the delegates skirted the touchy issue of doctors' unions. Several such groups, some calling themselves "guilds," have been, formed recently. One group said its action primarily was the result of the AMA's failure to exercise effective medical leadership. The delegates submitted to AMA policy groups for sttidy two proposals tor creation of a study commission "to determine the most effective legal way to permit collective bargaining." Warnings that outside legal opinions on the possibilities of doctors forming unions should be of relying solely on those of AMA staff ignored. And the doctors adopted a strong resolution attacking the practice by some medical insurance companies of setting "prevailing" fees that they will pay on claims.

The resolution made it "unequivocally clear" that such prevailing fees should be established only after consultation with "duly constituted representatives of organized medicine." Almost half of the nation's doctors don't belong to the AMA, and many critics say that only its outsiders tradition-bound ruling cliques are ended will the AMA become truly responsive to the needs of medicine. The House of Delegates frequently comes under attack, and several resolutions were presented which would have reformed membership to bring in other groups or change representation. But the reform measures were rejected. Likewise, resolutions seeking to require election of board of trustees members on a geographical basis were rejected, sent again to committees for further study.
