Some Os Employers Reject Dock Pact Threaten To Prolong Eastern Dock Strike NEW YORK (UP) - Disagreements between union locals and employers in Baltimore and Norfolk, Va., threatened today to prolong indefinitely the East Coast dock strike. It appeared likely that, despite a contract agreement here Sunday, most dock activity between Maine and Virginia would remain at a standstill until the end of the week, at least. Refusal of employer grotfps in Baltimore and Norfolk to accept a “Master" coastwide settlement reached by the International Longshoremen’s Assn, and the New York Shipping Assn, stood in thei way of a back-to-work movement 'of 45,000 longshoremen. It had been expected that agreements would be reached in other East Coast ports within 24 hours after the New York settlement. But employer opposition to the New York accord soon was manifested in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk. A settlement was reached early today, however, in Philadelphia, affecting 6,000 dockworkers in that city, Wilmington, Del., Camden, N.J., and Chester, Pa. Adding to the confusion were pessimistic statements by Ihe leaders of several ILA locals in New York. The consensus was that the majority of the 25,000 dock workers in the port of New LjMOHaHMHUMQMMnuiEIKII

York would refuse to return to work until the Baltimore and Norfolk disputes were resolved and the new contract ratified. The so-called “master" agreement concerned wages, hours and the amount of employer contributions for pensions and welfare benefits. Meanwhile, hopes for an end to the tug strike, that has idled 400 ■ craft in New York Harbor, rose 1 Monday night when the employer group submitted a six year contract offer covering working conditions, which had been the key stumbling block to a settlement. Rare Brain Ailment Is Fatal To Actress Marta Toren Dies Early This Morning STOCKHOLM, Sweden (W — Swedish actress Marta Toren died early today of a rare brain ailment in Stockholm’s South Hospital. She was 31. Dr. Goesta Von Reis, who described her condition as “hopeless” when she entered the hospital Sunday in an extremely serious condition, said that there was nothing he could do. Miss Toren had been in Stockholm playing the leading part in a Swedish comedy hit. She was stricken after the Saturday evening performance. Her husband, playwright Leonardo BeVcovici, arrived here for a visit shortly before she was stricken. Miss Toren went to Hollywood 10 years ago after attending Stockholm’s Royal Dramatic School where Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo were trained. She performed in 18 movies, most of them in Hollywood. She married Bercovici in 1952 and bore him a daughter, Chris tina, that year. STEURY _ <r * nn Ytn'i»<l from Pag, One) in Decatur.

CIVIC CONCERT HERE MARCH 5

woTih ■ I‘EIK

An evening of unique musical entertainment is in store for memers of the Adams county civic music association Tuesday, March 5, at 8 pm. at the Decatur Youth and Community Center The fourth of the series of five . concerts sponsored by the associaI tion will feature the Engelkinder, . a family of nine from the Austrian . Alps. Father Engel, head of the in- . ternationally famous Engel family . of Reutte, Tyrol, said recently: "In our home it is by no means Seventh Heaven. Nine ’Engel’ (an- " gels): father, mother and seven children, four of them boys and three girls — they see to it that something is always happening ' Each has an opinion of his own, ’ but father and mother have the last word. "Mother is the first to get up in • the morning and the last to go ’to bed at night. She has the burden of ‘ all the housework ana she cares for the family without ever losing 1 her temper. She is the pacifying • influence in the family Healthy, I slender and happy, she is the obi iect of adoration of our many . friends throughout Austria and the i world. “And myself? Well, picture a > man of 53, without a single gray hair —a sign that I spend all m” time with youth and music, a good way to remain young Os course, I’m apt to lose my temper if things become too complicated or too undisciplined at rehearsals, but aU in all I have no difficulty getting the attention music deserves. Os course, I don't play poker or cards, and there is no bowling for me. Rarely do I leave the house because Father Engel lives for the family and feels best within his four walls. Everything for music and through music! “This you would feel most definitely if you could watch our oldest Engel. Hans, when he works at home. He is a seeker and thinker, very tall, never satisfied, always severe with himself and with his brothers and sisters. He is in charge of the violins and vilas, and with indefatigable tehheity he conducts our chamber music rehearsals; right now, the Mozart String Quartet and the Weber Clarinet Quintet. Sometimes, of course, the girls begin to cry when he scolds them, but when all is done Hans has praise for the fam- . ily, and praise means more re- , hearsal and eventually, perfect music-making. "Neither we nor our children know an eight-hour day or a fortyhour week! We play and sing over time, yet there is more to the Engel Family than just music. Max, our second boy and the tallest “angel”, is a good engineer — as a matter of fact, he is a jack-of-all trades, he repairs the instruments; he binds, our books; he can fix the heater in our cellar; and he is a wonderful carpenter. He is calm and well balanced, as he should be for a cellist. The cello is his main instrument but he plays 1 also the clarinet, the trumpet, the piano, and he is a specialist of all sorts of folk instruments. He is successful in whatever he tmder takes and his ihemory allows him great solo tasks, such as the mastery of a Bach solo sonata. He /do —■..i .... I . .. li —- ' . ' ■ — I! . I N...

None of the bodies has been identified and Dr. F. H.

Knigge said he believed the official list‘of 71 missing and presumed dead was complete Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. C. R. Oliver said he could not rule out any of three possible causes of the fire after questioning 20 witnesses at the Scene. More witnesses we»e questioned today.

She had received tumultuous greetings from a million Portuguese who lined the streets of Lisbon and she thanked President Francisco Higino Craveiro Lopes for what she called an "unforgetable welcome.” During the formal dinner at the Palace of Ajuda she stole several shy glances at the handsome Duke from whom she had been separated for four months.

That enthusiasm was demonstrated most romantically Monday when groups of young Sir Walter Raleighs spread their cloaks before the Queen’s coach and car. Wherever she. went the students pursued, hoping to reenact the legendary Sir Walter rite. They were thwarted by the throngs until they raced ahead to the Queen’s official residence, the Palace of Queluz. The Queen spotted the students placing their cloaks in the mudsplattered road and ordered her chauffeur to glow down. She nodded to the almost prostrate cavaliers and then burst into an unrestrained grin.
