Humphrey, of Minnesota, withdrew with a pledge to keep fighting' for "social justice" but i an endorsement of McGovern.

Both men are determined to take the first-place award for the race to Kit-silano Beach July 23, having Monday night that more than 600 fallers voted against the contract proposals and are de termined to stay out until their demands are met. The fallers' wildcat action had forced layoffs prior to the offi cial strike by drying up the flow of logs, and so the companies are faced with the threat of con tinued disruption even if they sign a contract.
