It’s not for more money. It’s not because of hours. It’s only for soft This ridiculous strike is an affront to every citizen of the nation. It’s not for more money. It’s not because of hours. It’s only for soft feather-bedding spots for additional unnecessary firemen to go along in diesel locomotives just for the ride. A leading liberal newspaper calls the demands of the union leaders "horse-feathers"! • The reckless leaders of the firemen's union want to force down the throats of the railroads and the public a ridiculous "make-work" proposal which has been twice ruled out by Presidential Fact Finding Boards duly appointed under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. This demand of union leaders for additional and unnecessary firemen to ride in diesel locomotives was rejected after months of hearings—by a Board appointed by President Roosevelt in 1943. It was again rejected in 1949 by a Board appointed by President Truman. Recent meetings with the National Mediation Board have brought no change in the attitude of the union dictators. Union Leaders Defy Intent of Law The union leaders helped write the Railway Labor Act. Yet in an attempt to jam through this scheme of pure "feather-bedding" by leading the members of their union out on strike and threatening paralysis to large areas of the nation, they are defying the spirit and intent of the very law which they helped to create. This strike is not for higher wages. It is a strike to force the railroads to employ many more thousands of firemen who are not needed! It would be indefensible waste. The railroads have refused to place this additional and unnecessary burden on the public. But more important than any other consideration, is the action of these few irresponsible union leaders in seeking to force a crippling strike upon the TED B. SPOHN Thieves Clip Brinks Again THOMPSONVILLE, Conn. (AP) Four gunmen wearing gas masks slugged and robbed three Brink's guards of $15,000 today in the pay room of the Bigelow-Sanford carpet factory. The guards were so badly beaten on the head and face they had to be given hospital treatment. The hold-up men were at first believed to be trapped in the plant but a minute search of all corners of the building failed to reveal trace of them. They apparently escaped in a car after tying up the guards. The money represented the payroll of 30 third shift employees of the carpet concern. The daring robbery took place about 4 a.m., EST., about an hour before the third shift was due to leave the plant. The morning shift crew was kept from entering the plant for nearly three hours while state and local police seached the building. On January 17, a band of masked gunmen held up Brinks Inc., offices in Boston and escaped with approximately $1,700,000 in cash and checks. No trace of them has been found. a constable and deputy sheriff in Eugene, Oregon. He is the father of two sons and two daughters. Earlier this week, Haskell Kelley, C. H.

Leadership Important to Recreation (Continued from Page 1) Pauley said the one most important point in the setting up of a recreation program is leadership. Other points vital to a working recreation program are: administration, finances, program, community relations and facilities. He supplemented his address with a film entitled, "Leaders for Leisure". It showed the development of a park in a city about the size of Anaheim and graphically portrayed the need of leadership in directing the use of such a facility.

STRAW AT SWANBERG MAY UNLUCKY This strike is one of the silliest strikes in history! What are these reckless union leaders trying to do? They seek to cause thousands of their members to strike, and throw hundreds of thousands of other employees on and off the railroads out of employment, with loss of pay to them and their families, plus a severe blow to industry and the citizens of the nation. What's the strike all about? If the union has its way—what happens? The present members of the union won't get one cent more pay. They will merely have been assessed for a costly and indefensible drive in an attempt to provide more dues-paying members for the union by creating "feather-bedding" jobs for additional and unnecessary firemen. This is certainly one of the silliest strikes in history! nation for their own selfish purposes. There is no other possible answer to such a demand but “No!” The railroads in making such a reply believe they have the whole-hearted support of the people in whose interest they are willing to fight this out, despite the loss and inconvenience that all will suffer. It is time to put an end to such un-American demands. SWANBERGER'S STORE FOR MEN 145 W. Center Ana Funeral Service Monday at 2 P.M. Celia H. Pickelsiner died at her home, 426 S.

Moves to Cut Gasoline Price LOS ANGELES, (A)—The government moved today to reduce gasoline prices and end voluntary oil conservation—which it contends operates to hold down the supply and keep prices up. It also wants to force major oil companies to make their products available to independents on the same basis as to other majors. "It is the hope of the government that by freeing retail and wholesale outlets of restraints, effective price competition can be restored to the industry and result in lower prices." The companies contend that conservation — by establishing production quotas at the wells—saves an important natural resource. Seven major oil companies and the conservation committee of California oil producers are named in a suit filed in federal court by Herbert A. Bergson, assistant U. S. Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice's anti-trust division.

MAY 13 UNLUCKY FOR FELTS ROME (PA)—Francis Cardinal Spellman's titular church, the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, bears axe marks made by vandals who pillaged Rome more than 1500 years ago. The marks were found on four huge Greek marble columns, buried and preserved for centuries in a third-story brick wall. The wall was carefully removed during recent restoration of the basilica's original 4th century facade revealing curious pilared archways and the remains of a terrace. Seven popes, including Pius XII, held title to the church while they were cardinals. One of Rome's oldest and most historic churches, Saints John and Paul was built about 400 A.D. directly above an ancient Roman house where John and Paul met martyrs' deaths. The house was rediscovered and excavated in 1887. Pilgrims today may visit the exact places where the saints were killed and buried.
