Chicago Newspapers Appear Despite Walkout By ITU

CHICAGO, Nov. 25. (UP)—Chicago newspapers appeared today in greatly reduced photo-engraved editions after members of the Chicago Typographical Union walked off their jobs in a dispute over employment rules. The strike made Chicago the battleground for the fight on the International Typographical Nnion's policy that it will not sign labor contracts so long as the Taft-Hartley law is on the books. The union hopes to evade the law and retain the closed shop by posting "conditions of employment" in shops across the nation. The photo-engraved editions did not require the use of mechanical typesetters. New copy is, instead, typed on a special machine, pasted onto forms, photographed, engraved and then stereotyped and printed. The compositors left their jobs at 9 p.m. last night after voting 2,330 to 61 for the walkout.

More Work at Same Pay Seen Answer To Inflation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (UP)—Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board today proposed longer hours of work, increased productivity and a moratorium on demands for increased wages. Meanwhile, Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder told Congress that the best fiscal weapon against inflation is a continuing budget surplus that can be used to reduce the national debt. Without stating opposition to a tax cut in so many words, Snyder told the house banking and currency committee: "It is imperative that during these times of great prosperity we should continue to collect adequate revenues over and above a balanced budget to provide for a systematic reduction of the debt total."

Jail For Meyers Sought Before U. S. Grand Jury

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (UP)—The government today formally opened its drive to send retired air force Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers to jail for his wartime financial maneuvers and his alleged false testimony to a senate war investigating subcommittee. U. S. District Attorney George M. Fay went before a District of Columbia federal grand jury to ask criminal indictments against Meyers for perjury and trying to induce others to commit perjury. These offenses carry maximum penalties of $2,000 fine and five years in prison on conviction.

'Poverty' Plea Is Revealed

Cincinnati, Ohio (UP)—Even Presidents of the United States sometimes find themselves financially embarrassed. A letter written by Thomas Jefferson when he was President and "very hard pushed" for funds has come to light at the University of Cincinnati, where James C. and William W. Mullally, brothers, college of business administration seniors, have given the letter to their history professor, Dr. Reginald C. McGrane. Back in high school in Evanston, Ill., the students had swapped stamps for the collection, and, then a family heirloom belonging to a friend. The one letter in its envelope addressed to a Mr. Craven Peyton, Stump Island, near Milton. The state was not indicated. The letter, dated Nov. 27, 1803 reads: "If my note for $588.14 paiable the 15th of Dec. is still in your own hands, I should be very glad if it could be either postponed awhile or paid by monthly portions as I find I shall be very hard pushed during the next month. If, however, it is gone out of your hands, I shall endeavor to make provision for it if possible. Accept my friendly salutations and best wishes." Dr. McGrane said the letter is valuable not only as a collector's item but for the insight it gives into the economic conditions of the times. "This is the time of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and American trade is being interfered with," Dr. McGrane explained. "Business is bad and everyone is feeling the effects, even the President. "It is especially interesting to note that although he is President of the United States, Jefferson does not ask for any special concessions. Of course, he says he would be glad to get a concession if he could, but he doesn't press the issue."

It Takes a Pistol To Hit Jackpot

FRESNO, Cal. (UP) — A man with a pistol walked into White Rose Cafe and told the owner he wanted his money. He said he wanted it a bit at a time. P. A. Fries, the proprietor, looked at the leveled weapon and started dishing it out just that way—a bill at a time. When he reached $64, the man said, "Stop! I'll take that." A puzzled owner and several customers watched him walk calmly—if swiftly—from the cafe with his jackpot.

3 Generations Observe Joint Anniversaries

ARLINGTON, Mass. (UP)—Three generations of the same family observed their wedding anniversaries on the same day. Mr. and Mrs. James E. Kimball held their 56th anniversary while their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. Allen Kimball, of Winchester, marked their 31st. At the same time the Allen Kimball's daughter, Ann, and her husband, Kenneth G. Larrabee of Binghamton, N. Y., celebrated their sixth anniversary.

Mayes To Blast Consolidation

(Continued From Page One) county setup and stated that taxpayers are frequently buying the same services twice. Hoffman made the words flow quickly in an effort to score as many points as possible in the allotted 12 minutes. He had a bit left to say when he finished, but he had flailed the legal instrument which would make Dade and Miami one as "confusing, ill-worded, hastily-drawn" and having no respect for "the principle of the consent of the governed." Not Proven Yet These are the main issues picked out of the flow of words which came from the four lawyers. Will the consolidation bring about an economy in government? "If it doesn't save the taxpayers money, I'll never again in my life say anything about any public matter," Gautier declared. Answered Brinson: It hasn't been proven yet that any money will be saved. Does the consolidation infringe on the autonomy of local government? Brinson: The proposal cuts against "the fundamental maxim of American government—bring the officials nearer to the people." Answered Morehead: "adjoining municipalities will not be affected in any way." Is there now a duplication in the present Dade-Miami arrangement? "You folks now receive a tax bill from the county and two days later another from the city. The county and city assessors both overlap each other. You have two police chiefs—two sets of public officials all along the line," argued Morehead. The consolidation would have "one office to accomplish one governmental function," Morehead said, with the exception of the courts, the schools and the county tax collector and assessor, which would not be altered. The Brinson-Hoffman forces held that "confusion" would result from the merger. Is the present status of Miami as a city inside Dade County a "horse and buggy" form of government. Gautier: The vast growth of Dade County makes its problems different from that of any rural county. "We have sat idly by and done nothing to keep city and county government here up to date while progress has been made in state and Federal institutions." Nothing of the sort, returned Brinson. The Gables man, who spent five years as a Washington brain-truster, looked back to the founding of the city manager system as a tremendous forward move. The de-consolidation of Dade County into three separate counties was another step in the right direction, Brinson said. Will municipalities like Coral Gables be swallowed up in the merger? "The merger jeopardizes every city in Dade County," said Hoffman. Morehead specifically mentioned Coral Gables, saying Coral Gables can continue its own "system," adding that it could come into the consolidation whenever the voters wished. The strongest point against the merger was scored by Hoffman, who, in rebuttal, attacked the voting methods proposed for the electorate to pass on the proposal. The number of votes on the merger would be limitless, he said. If the electorate turns thumbs down the first time, another vote would be held in 30 days. It would be thrown back at the people again and again until the voters were "worn down," Hoffman stated.

Pro Models Queen Contest

(Continued From Page One) to take stations around the coronation stage overhead. Water Ballet Arrival of the Queen, who will be chosen next week, will be preceded by a water ballet involving girls bearing gifts on sea shells held over their heads, accompanying two others carrying the crown and scepter. The Queen herself will enter on a royal barge drawn by half a dozen swimming slaves, and will then step to the stage to be crowned by the Orange Bowl's Spirit-of-Youth girl, Patricia Fordyce. Concluding event will be the blackout ballet number performed by girls wearing luminous bathing cups and gloves. To Use Spotlights Arrangements are being made, Dephoure announced, for the use of several high-powered spotlights to supplement the pool's illumination facilities, and for a variety of trick lighting effects. Cy Washburn's orchestra has been engaged to provide the music.

Feeding Wood to Cattle At Low Cost Proposed

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UP)—The Florida Forest Service reports good experiments are being conducted in Louisiana for low-cost feeding of cattle. Research is being made into feeding cattle wood molasses made from culled hardwoods mixed with cottonseed cake. Molasses can be made at low cost and about 25 cords of wood will produce a tank car load. The culled woods used included scrub oak, now regarded as a weed and useful only as fuel.

Late Enemies To Hear Singing "Commercials"

CLEVELAND (UP)—The conquered German and Japanese radio listeners are going to get some of their lessons in democracy by singing 'commercials." That was revealed here by Richard Pack, special events director of station WNEW in New York. He said the station is translating into German and Japanese its "little songs about big things" which extol the virtues of tolerance and democracy. The transcriptions, he said, will be made available to the War Department for broadcast over the foreign stations.

Mueller's application for a 15-foot setback instead of 25 feet for lots 2, 3, 4 and 5, block 2, section K, was denied. Mrs. W. Howard Spaulding was denied approval to front her proposed residence on Avenue San Marco instead of Lisbon St., while H. A. Orrel's plan to face his home on Pizarro St., instead of Avenue Milan was approved. The plan of J. R. Womack to construct a 2,000 square foot, three-bedroom residence on lots 4, 5 and 6, block 152, Country Club, section 4, was denied because the minimum requirement there is 2,-200 feet. A. G. Thomas received approval to place an outside bedroom door in the residence he is building in block 26, Country Club section two. The P. K. Yonge library of Florida history of the University of Florida possesses 2,500 issues of early Florida newspapers printed before the War of Southern Independence. Experiments have shown that the Sequoia of California sometimes holds its cones for 16 years before they drop and discharge their seed contents. The seed are preserved from weather and fungi by a powdery pigment which makes them waterproof and germ-proof.

Navy Vet Suicide On Last Lonely Ride To Cemetery

Tomorrow at 6 a.m. a hearse will pull out of a downtown funeral parlor headed for the railroad station. It will carry the remains of Miles Martin Nichols, 47 year-old psychiatric patient at Pratt Veterans Hospital, who was drowned in the hospital lagoon last Friday. The body will be placed in the baggage car of a train destined for St. Augustine. It will ride in the casket which will be used for burial. It will be a lonely funeral. The former sailor had no living relatives and but one friend, a Philadelphia man who will not be able to be present. Burial will be at the St. Augustine Veteran's Cemetery. Coroner O. B. Sutton had today signed a certificate of suicidal death by drowning.

Miami Fills 3 Posts Today; Daylight Time Is Also Issue

MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 25. (UP)—A bitter campaign for three Miami City Commission seats, one of which may become the mayor's chair, ends here today as some 40,000 voters are expected to make their selection from six primary runoff candidates. Miami newspapers started the furor by accusing some of the 21 candidates in last Tuesday's primary of being connected with gambling and vice factions—always a touchy topic in this city. The accused candidates countered with large ads in the same newspapers. The field was narrowed to two incumbents, two former city officials who had been fired from their jobs, and two young lawyers who are getting their first taste of politics. In some devious way, daylight saving time also became an issue in the clouded situation which faces the voters today.
