Forshey, native of Nevada and graduate of University of Southern California, has been named pastor of the Bingham and Copperton Community Meth-odist churches, replacing Rev. William Iiams, Methodist pastor at Bingham the past year and ordained June 12 who has been assigned to Buffalo, Wyo. Rev. Forshey who arrived here last Friday, will follow the same procedure as Rev. Iiams, com-- j muting each week to Iliff School of Theology at Denver to com-Iple- te his training, i COPPER STRIKE SCHEDULED TODAY A general strike in the nation's copper industry was set for Thursday, midnight (last night). Meanwhile, federal negotiators in four states worked to avoid the strike. International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers offic-ials announced the strike author-ization in Denver. If called, it would begin with the day shift Friday and would affect IUUM-S-workers in the nonferrous mining industry in 14 states. Union leaders said they had been authorized to call the strike unless satisfactory progress is re-ported toward new contract set-tlements by Thursday midnight, when current contracts expire. Union officials said considera-tion would be given to progress of wage talks in Salt Lake City, Butte, Mont., Douglas, Ariz, and San Francisco up until Thursday midnight, before the strike de-cision is finally made. In Salt Lake City, union lead-ers met with federal negotiators and officials of Kennecott Cop-per Corp. There were no com-ments from anyone involved as to progress of the meeting. Commissioner Ralph R. Wil-liams of the federal Mediation and Conciliation Service was conducting the Utah meetings, assisted by S. Lyle Johnson, fed-eral mediator for Utah. ; Authorization to call the strike would affect IUMMSW workers in 14 states. If called, the strike could completely idle the copper industry and allied smelter and refinery operations as well as other non-ferro- mining opera-tions. The union is seeking wage hikes of 20 cents per hour. The companies in most instances are offering a 10-ce- nt per hour hike. Members of the Bingham and Magna IUMMSW locals held meetings last night, Thursday, to discuss progress of the wage talks and the possibility of a strike.

Besides Mr. Ham, other mem-bers of the committee are: Tom-my Prigmore, Earl Evans, Glenn Huebner, John Susaeta, John Osoro, Eddie Osoro and Jack Householder Sr. Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt The Layne-Bake- r fight is all set for the 18th of July, and the price of seats will be the same as for the Fullmer-Turne- r go, scaled from $3.00 up to $10.00. Layne has been in light train-ing for this fight ever since their first scrap that was won by Ba-ker. He has now started to do the heavy stuff that will bring him into the ring in top condi-tion. The first few Layne work-outs will be held in the gym in Salt Lake then he will move his headquarters out to West Jordan with Baker taking over in Salt Lake. Baker is ranked right be-hind Moore in the heavyweight division and Layne is in the 9th spot. So for Baker it will be a case of holding that position and for Layne a chance to move ;;p the ladder into the big money spot. I will try and see both boys in training and keep you posted. I have had a chance to see the Bingham entry in the Northwest League in action a few times of late and they are a great young club. In one game against Mid-- 1 vale tney were sixT:ns behind going into the 9th inning and they scored eight to win. This is about the third time this hasj happened with them so you can! see they are a bunch that never gives up. The past week they have taken Magna, Midvale and the strong Doc Johnson nine. In the Doc Johnson game Larry Stillman pitched a masterful game allow-,in- g seven hits but no two in one inning and he sent 12 of them, back via the strike out route. Besides Stillman they have Byrge, Sumnicht and Austin as pitchers and any one of them is capable of turning in a fine game. The rest of the team is composed of young Bingham kids and they play a real interesting game to watch, hustling every minute. The attendance hasn't been what it should be so just leave that TV set for one evening and I am sure you will do it a good many more times before the season is over. Hearing from the Bingham kids that are in pro ball. Marion Cowdell has a three and three record with Salem, Ore., in the Class B Northwest League and the three losses went like this 2 to 0, 2 to 0 and 4 to 3, so you see the kid is going great. Sonny Robertson is playing third base for Muskogee, Okla., and I just heard that the organi-zation considers him a great third base prospect. They are both in the Giants organization. We have another couple of boys that will bear watching. They are in Am-- ierican Legion ball at present. So if you think we haven't you 'should go out and see these kids play and play scout, real inter-esting. Utah is fast gaining a reputa-tion as a hot bed for kid baseball and before long the big leagues will be covering this state like a blanket. See you next week. o SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROGRAM AT BINGHAM Summer school has been busy this week making puzzles out of wood blocks with pictures past-ed on and shellacked.

BMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA WINS TWO NEAR FIRST HALF TITLE The local baseball nine garner-ed wins over Doc Johnsons and Midvale the past week to assure a tie for first half laurels in the Northwest loop. Last Sunday, the Bingham squad trounced their nearest ri-vals, Doc Johnsons 11 to 2, be-hind the fine hurling of Larry Stillman. Larry went all the way. allowing only seven scattered bingles, and was never in trouble as he had the Sandy crew com-pletely baffled. Little John Gara-han- a furnished most of Bing-ham's power, as he homered twice over the right field wall to drive in five runs. Against Midvale, the locals punched across the winning run in the eighth after a six run splurge by Midvale in the sev-enth, tied up the game. Lefty Hilton hurled shutout ball for six. but was relieved by Sum-nic- ht and Ken Austin. Bingham now has a record of eight wins and three losses. Doc Johnson's has won six and lost four, and a win against Magna tonight, Friday, will give Sandy a chance to tie up the standing when they meet the locals at Sandy in a game that was pre-viously rained out. Bingham would become first half champs if they could again down Sandy in the postponed skirmish. The first half could end in a tie, if Doc's takes both games. Second half play is scheduled to get underway Sunday, July 10.
