Strike WASHINGTON (AP) A union official said today there will be a nationwide railroad strike Dec. 11 unless the industry grants more than the record high wage increases recom mended by a presidential board. "If I must lead my people out on strike, it should be clearly understood that they will not go back to work until they have received a wage increase which will bring them up to compara bility with the transportation in dustry," said President C. Dennis of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline clerks. Dennis said his union, repre senting some 200,000 of the 500,000 rail workers- involved, will demand wage hikes totaling 40 per cent or more over three years, plus improved fringe benefits, compared with the 36 per cent recommended by the presidential board.

The Dec. 11 strike date he threatened is one day later than the earliest the rail unions could walk out under the Railway Labor Act. That deadline, is 12: Of a.m. Dec. 10.

Dennis said if there is a strike, he doubts that the men would go back to work even under a federal court order or a special act of Congress until they win their demands. Such methods have been used successfully in past rail strike threats. Dennis said in the event of a strike, his union would offer to continue moving rail shipments of military defense goods, coal for the generation of electricity and all passenger trains. He noted that under delaying procedures of the Railroad" Labor the wage dispute-has dragged out for nearly a year. "Railway workers are asking, after this long and difficult struggle with the' complexities of the law, why postal workers can strike, but not railway workers; why truck drivers, Annexatio oar tries were strained during the i detention.

One upshot of the opinion by Shuler, Rankin, Myers, Walsh and Ragen is that a city's at- tempt to sell general obligation bonds may be unsuccessful if the city has annexed land or been annexed itself without a vote of the people.

The firm is Oregon's authority on bonds. Prospective purchasers of bonds throughout the nation rarely fwill bkl. for them unless Shuler-Rankin has given its approval.

Maple, a resident of the Wood-burn Senior Estates for three years, entered the hospital three weeks ago for surgery on a hip and suffered a heart stoppage following surgery, He' was an All-American football player, former major league player and coach at both Oregon State College and Willamette University. Maple was born in Adrian, July 20, 1903, and was graduated from the Peoria, 111., High School. He came to Oregon State College where he was All-American in 1928 as quarterback. He then signed a baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox and wound up in 1932 as catcher for the Washington Senators under manager Walter Johnson. He was head basketball coach and assistant coach in football and brseball at Willamette Uni versity from the early 1930s to 1941.

After serving in the Army Engineers in Alaska in World War II, Maple bought a sporting goods store, which; he sold in 1950 to Bill Beard. Maple then went to Bend to operate an auto ment would step in if progress were not made soon. The strike, in its; 58th day today, has idled over 400,000 GM employes and thousands more at supplier firms. It has had a chilling effect throughout the economy. While sources say GM has not made an offer to replace the one rejected by the union shortly before the strike began Sept.

Federal and state law has been adopted changing the dates of a number of holidays so they fall on Monday, to give persons involved several three-day weekends.

Veterans Day was among them. City, state, county and federal offices all will be closed Wednesday. The post office will make only special deliveries. Banks also will be closed. The Salem School District will give students and teachers the day off.

Duncan was told, according to Rankin, that the firm is "concerned" about cases where boundary commission, Few Youths Register to Cast Ballot Young people haven't beaten a path to register to vote in Mid-Willamette Valley or coast counties.

Marion County had only 38 Monday, the opening day under instructions of the state elections department to register 18-to 20-year-old residents just in case the U.S. Supreme Court finds an act of Congress is constitutional in overriding state laws. Of Marion 's 38, 29 were registered as Democrats, seven as Republicans and two as Independents. In Yamhill County there were five, of which three were Democrats, one Republican and one Independent. Polk County reported four registered and Lincoln County four, the first being Stewart J.

He also said there might be a question of whether the property in the annexed area would be subject to a tax for repayment of the bonds. Rankin said his firm will con sider unconstitutional that part of the boundary commission law allowing annexations without a vote where home rule cities are involved until the Oregon Supreme Court rules otherwise. A test case may be headed that way. Three special districts in Lane County lost part of their land to the City of Eugene in an annexation ordered, without a vote of the people whose paro- perty was shifted, by the Lane County Boundary Commission.

The suit was filed in Lane Coun ty Circuit Court and almost regardless of the outcome will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The 1969 legislature formed three boundary commissions with the power to approve or disapprove annexation by mu nicipalities, including special districts. Besides Marion-Polk and Lane County, one also was formed in Multnomah County. DETROIT (AP) Bargainers for the United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. resumed contract talks today after a 17-hour negotiating session failed to produce a settlement of an eight-week-old strike.

The negotiators had met from 9 ajn. Monday until 2:10 a.m. today, breaking only for meals. They returned to the bargaining suite at the GM midtown Detroit headquarters later in the morning. Neither GM Vice President Farl Bramblett nor UAW President Leonard Woodcock would comment following Monday's lengthy bargaining session.

Highly placed sources had ex GM "by its own fiat changes the boundaries of a municipal corporation without giving the people a chance to express themselves." Subsequently then, the fire district and the city conducted separate elections on the annexation, and both approved. What the Portland lawyers are doing when they review a municipality's bond issue is to determine whether the proper procedures were used and that the bonds will be binding upon the issuing agency. Shuler-Ran-kin's word is law to most prospective purchasers, which are financial institutions such as banks. To what extent the Shuler-Rankin opinion might affect the bonding capability of cities isn't readily apparent. But even a small annexation might impair the ability of a city to sell its bonds.

Duane Erstgaard, Marion County Board of Commissioners legal counsel, said that, while he himself is not directly involved in boundary commission affairs, have to assume he (Rankin) is probably right." Ertsgaard i out that most general obligation bond issues are submitted to a vote of the people in the taxing district involved. He said Shuler-Rankin might be concerned over the question of who was allowed to vote in the election that is, if persons in an area annexed without a vote were allowed to a Minority Heloise 29 Markets 31 Movies 2 Obituaries 17 Sports 12, 13 Television- 16 Valley, Coast 11 However Rankin, a partner the firm, said he is aware of ttie 1969 law passed by the legislature to allow boundary commissions in three areas of the state to bring about annexations without a vote. "But, he said, '-'Just because the legislature enacts, that doesn't make it constitutional!" Already the Shuler-Rankin opinion has served to bring about an election that otherwise appeared be unnecessary.

Negotiators are working under great pressure since GM has said that if agreement is not reached today, production at the world's largest industrial corporation could not resume until Dec. 1, and that any prolongation of the strike could push the startup date into the new year.
