The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine (Continued from Page 1) department of interior building which sprawls over two blocks and has 12 wings to insure outside light for every office. Justly proud of his massive limestone masterpiece, Interior Secretary Ickes invited Washington news-hawks in to view its wonders last week when he moved in, was chagrined when they evinced little interest in his oak-paneled office but focused their attention on the wonder of wonders—Ickes' private bathroom with giddy blue tile walls, a tub which they described as "not quite big enough for a swim," a bath mat embroidered with a brown donkey and the confident inscription: "We are here to stay." TROUBLE IN UTOPIA— HERSHEY, Pennsylvania—Milton Snavely Hershey, who in 34 years converted a cornfield into a candy Utopia known as Hershey, Pa., stood on the steps of his new office building with tears coursing down his cheeks last week as the violent vanguard of enraged countryfolk poured into town in automobiles and buggies to protest a sit-down strike in his candy factory and the consequent loss of their best market for milk. Proferring independence, John L. Lewis' C. I. O. two months ago enrolled most of Hershey's 2,600 employees in a United Chocolate Workers' union, got the company to sign a union agreement. But when the summer slack in the chocolate business began to set in last fortnight, the union charged that the company was violating its agreement to respect seniority, discriminating against unionists in lay-offs. Suddenly one day, about half the workers stopped the factory with a sit-down, walked out when negotiations began. When negotiations broke off last week, some 600 of them went back to resume sitting. Stung into action, neighboring countryfolk assembled in Hershey to regain their $14,000-a-day milk-market, were whipped into a fury by speakers who made good use of the C. I. O. banners which strikers had raised above the United States flag over the factory. With a roar some 3,000 farmers and non-union workers seized clubs, whips, knives, and banners labeled "Down With the C. I. O." smashed in the factory doors; pounded, pummeled and jabbed until sit-downers trotted out with arms upraised to run a walloping, stone-pelting gauntlet. Just as the fight ended, state police arrived to drive back the mob, clean up the casualties—some 50 with bruises, cuts and black eyes, one man stabbed the belly with an ice pick. At week's end the consigned a new agreement with C. I. O. group outlawing for six months, providing vote to determine whether United Chocolate Workers or the Loyal Workers club of which claim about two of all employees, shall repel the workers. Left unchanged the agreement were wage hours, Hershey's discharging disciplinary powers. STRIKE-OF-THE-WEEK— TRENTON, New Jersey—his wife sued President Pechristensen of Button Co America for divorce last charging that he had lavish small fortune on a blonde model and asking $1,000 per alimony; Christensen's 400 employees suddenly decided they could afford to pay them wages, went on strike. Christensen promptly appealed cheer the strikers, march hour in their picket line. Christensen, peering behind office curtains: "She is more reasonable and uncivil haven't any such money there isn't any such money business." BASEBALL: 1937— BOSTON — Ever since "Cap" Anson took his baseball team (including gelist Billy Sunday) to Spring, Ark., to get ready opening of the 1886 season, training has been a baseball.

Olive St. Anaheim, C ANAHEIM-GAZETTE Bok eyes, one man stabbed in belly with an ice pick. It week's end the company agreed a new agreement with the I.O. group outlawing strikes six months, providing for a tie to determine whether the United Chocolate Workers union of the Loyal Workers club, both which claim about two-thirds of all employees, shall represent workers. Left unchanged by the agreement were wages and hours, Hershey's discharge and disciplinary powers. RIKE-OF-THE-WEEK—When a wife sued President Peter C. Christensen of Button Corp. of America for divorce last week, arguing that he had lavished a total fortune on a blonde artist's ideal and asking $1,000 per week mony, Christensen's 400 employs suddenly decided that he would afford to pay them better wages, went on strike. Mrs. Christensen promptly appeared to enter the strikers, march for an air in their picket line. Said Christensen, peering behind his ice curtains: "She is most unreasonable and uncivil. I haven't any such money. We aren't any such money in this business." BASEBALL: 1937— BOSTON — Ever since famed up" Anson took his Chicago baseball team (including Evanist Billy Sunday) to Hetting, Ark., to get-ready for the opening of the 1886 season, spring training has been a baseball institute. EDWARD WINDSOR— PARIS — A nonchalant young Briton with nice eyes set in haggard sockets put up at a flattered tution. Its main purpose, however, is not to recondition players but to remind fans that a new season is about to start, revive their interest in the game. Primed by six weeks of training-camp news, baseball addicts witnessed the start of the major league's 1937 season in Boston (Bees vs. Phillies) and Washington (Senators vs. Athletics) on April 19. Meanwhile, their exhibition games ended, the 16 major-league teams are moving north from their camps in Florida, Cuba, Texas, Louisiana, Mexico and southern California, while baseball experts follow ancient tradition, predict how the teams will stand when the 1937 season ends on October 3. Baseball's spring predictions are unvariably wrong from year to year, but one certainty of the forthcoming season was last week apparent: players, managers and even umpires will get more money out of the game than ever before. Biggest yearly salary ever paid a baseballer was Babe Ruth's $80,000 in 1930 and 1931. This year's top is Lou Gehrig's $36,000; but baseball's total major-league payroll will be over $3,200,000, an all-time record, like the Yankee payroll of $332,000. Most prodigious figure likely to develop on the United States baseball scene this year is Cleveland's Robert William Feller, who last year made his major league debut at the age of 17, is now not only the youngest regular pitcher in the major league, but also the youngest in big-league history. In his first regular major-league game last year Feller struck out 15 batters, one less than the American league record established 29 years ago. By last week Feller's record for the whole spring season was 29 strikeouts and four hits in 18 innings. Anaheim Dealers Compete for Big "Birthday Cake" A 100-pound "birthday cake" is the novel trophy that the Southern Counties Gas company and its gas appliance sales force will strive for a nation-wide refrigerator selling campaign to last throughout April. May and June, according to a statement from Fred Merker, district manager of the company. Cash awards are also offered to the company and its salesmen for successful efforts in the campaign being sponsored jointly by the American Gas association Refrigeration committee and the Association of Gas Appliance and Equipment Manufacturers, Merker, stated. Commenting on the fact that 24 companies will receive giant "birthday cakes,"—for 1937 marks the tenth anniversary of gas refrigeration—Merker remarked that "the combined weight of these culinary trophies will be well over a ton. Although hundreds of other gas companies have entered this 1937 selling campaign, we are counting on success because of the amazing growth of public acceptance of gas refrigeration, not only in southern California, but throughout the country. In the past few years the demand for gas refrigerators has grown by leaps and bounds so that now such refrigerators are used in nearly a million homes in the United Staets and Canada. "The gas company's many authorized Electrolux dealers are competing in a separate selling 4,075 miles to Los Angeles in two months and two days, hitch-hiked back to New York where they exhibited memoranda of their trip: "Averaged 10 hours a day of skating and walking. Averaged 7½ miles an hour. Fifty-five skating days." Were on the road... EDWARD WINDSOR— PARIS — A nonchalant young Briton with nice eyes set in haggard sockets put up at a flattered Peris hotel some weeks ago, showed his passport, began running up right royal bills, was presently sued for "fraud" by the proprietors. But last week the strict French court ruled there had been no fraud "because Mr. Windsor never told or gave the hotel management to understand he was the former King." SHORE EXCURSION— TIENTSIN, China—Forty European and United States travelers stepped off their world-cruise ship "Reliance" at Tientsin last week, entrained to visit Peiping's famed Temple of Heaven, there found clustered around its mellow walls thousands of excited Chinese. Soon a knot of Chinese soldiers appeared, piled up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs, set them ablaze while the crowd laughed and cheered and hawkers did a roaring business with peanuts and watermelon seeds. Presently, up rolled three military trucks bearing six woebe-gone prisoners in cotton shirts, each tagged with his name for all to see. Their arms bound, the prisoners were forced to kneel in a row before a wall. Calmly their military escorts strolled over to them, drew pistols, plunked a bullet through the head of each at 15-second intervals. As each shot buried itself deep in the victim's brain a body slumped forward, inert. Only one prisoner required two bullets. Although they had joked gaily at the prospect of seeing a public execution of Chinese drug peddlers and had to be restrained by police from taking photographs, many United States tourists turned pale and sick, climbed with drawn faces into their cars, drove off. INACCESSIBLE GENERAL— INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — In answer to a letter to "Dear General," Arthur St. Clair of Indianapolis homes in the United Staets and Canada. "The gas company’s many authorized Electrolux dealers are competing in a separate selling 4,075 miles to Los Angeles in two months and two days, hitch-hiked back to New York where they exhibited memoranda of their trip: "Averaged 10 hours a day of skating and walking. Averaged 7½ miles an hour. Fifty-five skating days. Were on the road 64 days in all, but nine days were used as rest periods. Used the same pair of skates the entire trip. Used 480 steel wheels in all. Used 960 cones on both pairs of skates. Used eight rubber cushions on both pairs of skates." Skaters Skelly and Shrefuga drank only milk and water, daily ate five meals and took two baths. Their trip cost $1,400. For brakes they used canes which were four inches shorter when they arrived than when they started. On smooth level roads they went as fast as 20 m.p.h. Their highest speed: 40 m.p.h. down Torrey Pine Hill, near San Diego. FOX ANAHEIM Sun., Mon., Tues.

INACCESSIBLE GENERAL— INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — In answer to a letter to "Dear General" Arthur St. Clair of Indianapolis "to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of Feb. 15 in which you express your opposition to the President's proposal concerning the supreme court." Indiana's pro-Roosevelt Senator Sherman (Shay) Minton received from a Mrs. Theresa Krull an embarrassing reply: "I am a member of the General Arthur St. Clair Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, composed of representative Indianapolis women who have protested against the President's supreme court ideas. I have seen your reply, regrettably fallacious and addressed to 'Dear General.' I beg to inform you that the general, worthy patriot that he was, has been inaccessible to letter-writing since his death in 1818—one would suggest that both you and your secretary inform themselves both about history and the D.

Predicts Good Deep Sea Fishing Season One of the greatest seasons in the history of deep-sea angling is expected this year by Capt. J. M. Andersen, skipper of the fishing barge Olympic II. The huge pleasure fishing ship is anchored on the choice bass banks, north of Hermosa pier. The natural rock bottom of the bank is a natural feeding place for all types of bottom fish, such as halibu sculpin, bass and sandabs. During the height of the fishing season the live bait boats usually anchor over these banks as barracuda and yellowtail are also found there. Spring schedule for the Olympia II finds the first boat leaving a 7 o’clock weekdays and 6 o’clock on Sundays. Last boat in at night is at 5 o’clock.
