PORTLAND, Ore., (P)—There were no arrests and few leads in the explosions that ripped 10 trucks used to haul for Portland's two struck daily newspapers, police said yesterday.
"This was the work of someone experienced in handling dynamite," said Police Lt. Dean Blackwood, who defused one bomb that failed to explode.
The Sunday night blasts tore apart four trucks parked beside a warehouse here and six parked at a warehouse in nearby Oregon City. They were owned by firms which do contract hauling for the Oregonian and the Oregon Journal, struck since November 10 by the Stereotypers Union.
The Portland inter-union newspaper strike committee said it was shocked by the violence and matched the City Council's $1,000 reward for the arrest of the dynamiters.
The explosions at the Oregon Film Service warehouse here followed by minutes those at the Wymore Trucking Co. in Oregon City.
