Congress Sees CIO Wage Plea Pressing Price Action

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (UP)—Republicans and Democrats in Congress agreed today that the CIO drive for a third round of wage increases pointed up the need for quick action to stabilize prices. Administration spokesmen on Capitol Hill saw the CIO campaign as additional evidence that Congress should act at once on President Truman's 10-point anti-inflation program. Congressional committees have been holding hearings on various aspects of the president's plan for the past two weeks. Republicans expressed fears that the CIO drive would touch off similar wage demands by other groups and intensify the inflationary spiral. Senator Raymond E. Baldwin, R., Conn., said it "dramatizes the urgent need for effective anti-inflation measures by the administration and Congress."

Missing Plane Believed Stolen By Convict Fleeing Hospital

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Dec. 3. (UP)—A two-place Aeronca airplane was stolen from an airport here this morning and state police expressed belief it had been taken by 24-year-old Charles McIntosh, one of five convicts who escaped from a mental hospital here. Prison hospital authorities said McIntosh, serving six years on violation of the Dyer act, stole an airplane in Indiana in 1944 while AWOL from the Army. They said that although he had no known previous flight training he successfully flew the plane and eventually abandoned it in a farmer's pasture. The five convicts were being sought by police of four states after three of them last night terrorized a farm family and headed toward Arkansas with two of the escapees dressed in women's clothing.

Movie Folk Out Of Jobs Following Contempt Citations

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 3. (UP)—All of the movie directors and writers cited for contempt of Congress were out of their jobs today. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer last night suspended Dalton Trumbo, who wrote the book "Johnny Get Your Gun", and the movie "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," and Lester Cole, author of "Objective Burma." Writer Ring Lardner, Jr., has been fired by 20th Century Fox and Producer Adrian Scott and Director Edward Dmytryk by RKO. The other five cited for contempt for refusing to tell a House committee if they were Communists were not under contract.

Slogan Contest Nets Winner $20,000 Cape Cod Bungalow

SAN JOSE, Cal., Dec. 3. (UP)—A soap company's slogan contest today netted Mrs. Fanny Haywood a $20,000 Cape Cod house with four bedrooms and $1,500 for a lot on which to build it. Mrs. Haywood's winning slogan was not revealed. She mailed her 25-word entry with a box top last month, saying at the time, "Nobody ever wins these things." She now lives in a one-room apartment with her husband, Max, a plasterer, and their two children.

Ten Percent Rate Increase Asked by American Airlines

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (UP)—American airlines today asked civil aeronautics board permission to increase its fares 10 percent, effective Dec. 12. It thus joined 10 other major domestic airlines in seeking an increase. Previously, American was the long major holdout against a fare boost. The request would raise airline fares to 5.5 cents per mile.

Doughnuts and Dollars Mix Here

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—Hanceforth, employes of the City Bank and Trust Co. will have their doughnut as well as a dollar. What's more, they'll do it in a penthouse, air-conditioned. With the doughnut will go free coffee. It's part of the new building housing the bank. The penthouse, reached by a private elevator, will be used by the bank's 250 employes. Lunch will be offered at cost. When a stenographer is through sipping her soup, she can take a swing at shuffleboard or badminton. For those more interested in quiet than activity, the bank offers a lounge and reading room. The shuffleboard and badminton are played on a sundeck landscaped as a patio garden. It is surrounded by a white picket fence. An elobssoming of out the black earth atop the roof are shrubs and vines. And if that isn't enough to mend the tattered nerves of a teller, there is lounge furniture and a liberal sprinkling of beach umbrellas for those who simply want to watch. Below is the business part of the bank, as modern in decoration as the penthouse, but down there it's all dimes and dollars. No doughnuts.

Family Quarrel Heads for Justice Court

Two sisters and one of their husbands will appear in Justice of the Peace O. B. Sutton's courtroom this afternoon to press four charges against the second sister's husband. The complainants are Mr. and Mrs. George W. Fritz of 6761 SW 13th Street and Mrs. George Donaldson of 6760 SW 13th Street. The charges against George Donaldson are breaking the peace, assault and battery, aggravated assault and shooting a gun into a house. The fracas, it was reported, began as a family quarrel involving all four of the next-door-neighbor relatives.

Typewriter Stolen From Chaplin Office

Police were today searching for a Remington Noiseless typewriter stolen from the offices of Realtor Gilbert Chaplin sometime Monday night. Miss Dorothy Kamerer, an employe, reported at the Chaplin offices at 2207 Ponce de Leon Blvd., yesterday morning and discovered the machine missing. All the doors were locked, Miss Kamerer said, but one window was unlocked but closed. The office windows were all screened. The typewriter is valued at $120.

Passion Play Readied at Oberammergau

MUNICH (UP)—Except for 87 members of the cast who still are prisoners of war, the famous Passion Play of Oberammergau is almost ready for its 1950 perform- ance, the burgermeister of the renowned little Alpine town reports. Only four of the principal players have been denazified, he said. Now the production must solve only two more big problems: accommodations for the audience and food for the cast. Refugees are housed in Oberammergau hotels, he said. The town plans to move them into new settlements, but they are yet to be built. He explained that the players for 1950 will be elected by a special committee of townspeople. Since players must begin to let their hair grow 18 months before the performance, the players presumably will be selected before next fall. The Garmisch denazification board, which handles Oberammergau's denazification cases, said it believes most of the players have been processed and only one has been sentenced to prison. He is technician Jakob Burger, sentenced to two years in a labor camp. The others all were declared followers and were fined, but not jailed.

Bacteria May Be Linked To Developing U. S. Oil

By DON JENNINGS UP Staff Correspondent HARRISBURG, Pa. (UP)—The oil industry is headed for a shot in the arm if current experiments with the "driving" powers of bacteria are successful. Technicians in the oil research laboratories of Pennsylvania are trying to determine whether it would be practical to inject bacteria into the earth and thereby force sand-bound oil deposits into the range of pumps. Results of the tests may open the door to a vast reserve of high grade Pennsylvania oil presently classified as non-recoverable. The experiments are being made in the production research laboratory of the Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil Association at Bradford, Pa., hub of the state's principal oil field. So far the application of sulphate-reducing bacteria in handmade oil-content sand has yielded enough power to "drive" oil out that in itself is considered by the industry as "encouraging." Dr. J. N. Cathcart, state geologist, said field tests would be made as soon as laboratory experiments showed conclusively that bacteria has enough power to "drive" oil from subterranean sand. "There is still a tremendous amount of oil left in Pennsylvania sands," Cathcart said, "but it will require more extensive use of 'secondary' methods or some new process such as this (bacteria) to recover these supplies." Present secondary methods, which involve "repressuring" of oil sands through the use of water and natural gas, would bring out the state's total 30 percent of Pennsylvania's estimated reserve of 3,800,000,000 barrels, according to Cathcart. Chemicals cannot be used, Cathcart said, because their reaction with water and rock would result in a neutralization. Pennsylvania ranks "far down the list" as an oil-producing state—its 50,000 wells yield about 14,000,000 barrels a year—but because of a rich lubricant content, its oil sells for almost twice that of other states.

Alabama Strike Won't Affect Local Dairy

While the United Press reported 100 employes of the Foremost Dairy in Birmingham, Alabama, out on strike today, a spokesman for the dairy firm here said the Alabama strike would not affect Miami operations. There is "no connection" between Foremost's plant here and the struck plant in Birmingham, the spokesman said. The UP report stated the employes, members of the United Mine Workers (AFL) union, had caused an estimated 30,000 school children to go without milk and cut off the supply of 1,200 families. The strikers are asking a 15 cent an hour wage increase.

Bereaved Family Starts Move For World Peace

By MILTON B. DOLLINGER UP Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND (UP)—Because Capt. John Putnam Jr., was shot down on his 62nd mission over Europe during the war, his sorrowing family has started a peace movement. It is gathering public support here with surprising speed. The peace movement, known as World Security Workers, has gained support of hundreds of persons in the city, as well as leading citizens of other parts of the country. Dr. Albert Einstein is one of the supporters, its promoters claim. The idea of world security workers, a crusade to create a mass demand for the establishment of world government, was born in the family of John B. Putnam, Cleveland attorney. After the death of John Jr., the family felt it must do something to prevent a repetition of warfare. Out of months of discussion with civic leaders, World Security Workers emerged. The organization advocates centralized world government with law and a military arm to enforce its decision upon the nations, but has no blueprint of the form such a government should take. It is meant to serve only as an instrument through which millions of people, wanting an orderly world, can make themselves heard by their government leaders, according to the founders. The Putnams believe that when the swell of sentiment becomes impelling enough, extending thru the U. S. and eventually the world, national leaders cannot resist the demand for the establishment of a world government. "If Russia, at first, does not care to come along," said Mrs. Putnam, who runs the organization's office here, "she'll find herself behind a wall of people far more impenetrable than the iron curtain. "There has always been a government for war. Now we'll have world government for peace with rules so strong that nobody can upset us again." Membership in World Security Workers is accomplished by signing a pledge to give active support to the cause of world government. There are no dues.

Television Seen Coming Big Business

NEW YORK (UP) — A new billion-dollar industry will be with us by 1960, according to Orrin E. Dunlap, Jr., in the preface to his revised edition of "The Future of Television" (Harper, $3.). But before television can reach its majority, new techniques must be developed that will enchant the human eye as radio has captivated the ear, he believes. Pointing out that television is essentially show business, Dunlap believes the standard radio programs will not do at all. For instance, speechmakers will have to cut their talks to 10 or 15 minutes or run the risk of boring the "televiewer," whose patience is reputedly shorter than that of the radio listener, he writes. "Until television can offer headline events in all classes of entertainment . . . it cannot hope to compete with the radio set, the electric stove and refrigerator as a utility in the home . . . The eye does not cherish amateurish telecasts." Dunlap's book considers the technical aspects of television as well as forthcoming visual feasts in news, sports events, cartoons and movies.

State School Supt. Colin English has reported an enrollment of a record 428,489 pupils for 1946-47.

PANTIE THIEF TURNS TO AUTOS

A "pantie burglar" struck again last night but instead of filching ladies' pants from clotheslines he had turned to stealing fender pants from automobiles. Mrs. Winston Harrison of 4400 Monserrate Street reported to police this morning that the "pants" were stolen from the rear fenders of her Packard as it was parked outside her house at 10:45 last night. Police were unable to immediately ascertain if the theft was the work of the criminal who had lately specialized in stealing pants of a different nature.

Miami Ponders Acquisition Of Clark Tract

(Continued from Page One) Charles made the proposition on the grounds that the Graves tract is non-productive and could not be of benefit to the City of Miami for at least 10 years. The Clark tract will be placed on auction on January 14 by the estate and is expected to bring approximately one million dollars. Clark, before his death last November, stated that he had refused at one time an offer from the late George E. Merrick to buy the property for $3,250,000. Miami was unsuccessful in a recent attempt to legally condemn the property. The Graves tract, for which the city of Miami paid $495,000 is estimated to be worth approximately $1.5 million dollars. Commissioner Perrine Palmer stated that he opposed sale of the Graves tract "until we see how we come out on the consolidation of the city and county.

Little Man Happy Again As Mona Lisa Comes Home

By JAMES McGLINCY UP Staff Correspondent PARIS (UP)—The little man who wouldn't tell his name was happy—Mona Lisa had come home. "For twenty years we've lived together," he said. He looked at Mona and smiled and she smiled back at him, with that queer, questioning personal smile she has. "Now she is back where she belongs in her old place in the place where I've always known her." He wore a blue uniform like all the guards at the Louvre, with a little row of service ribbons from the war. But he wasn't like the other guards, no matter what he wore. He was Mona Lisa's boy friend. Maybe Its' Music "Yes, I love her," he said. "That ironic smile. For 20 years I have watched that smile. But I never understand it. I think perhaps she is listening to music and it brings the memories and so she smiles like that." During the war the little man and Mona Lisa were separated. She was in hiding. The Louvre was closed. The little man had a fighting job to do. When the war ended, they came back. But Mona Lisa was stuck in a corner, leaning against the wall. Then finally they put her back on her throne—the spot of honor in the Italian room. The little man looked at a painting hanging on the opposite wall, a Titian portrait of Francis I, king of France. Rival on Wall "He loves her,too," he said. His eyes twinkled. "All the time they look at each other." Actually there was a historical basis for his statement, for it was Francis I who bought the Mona Lisa for France from Leonardo da Vinci toward the end of the artist's life. Francis was only one of millions of men who have fallen for the mysterious smile. The little man said he was married and had grandchildren. No, his wife wasn't jealous of the smiling lady. She didn't know how he felt. Nor did the other guards. "Nobody knows except her," he said, nodding toward the portrait of the serene lady.

Delinquent Husband Has Long Haul

GOSHEN, Ind. (UP)—If he keeps his word this time, Guy McKinstry, 47, might be free of debt by April, 1950. McKinstry was jailed for contempt of court when his divorced wife charged that he owed $633 for the support of his children. The judge let him go on condition that he keep up $5 payments every week until he is caught up.
