day commended "assembly line’’
examinations to detect many hid-
den chronic diseases. He esti-
mated some ailment or defect j
would be found in 9 out of 10
persons examined.
The doctor, A. L. Chapman,
chief of the division of chronic
disease, of the U. S. public health
service, told the National Tuber-
culosis association that the aver-
age American Is healthy, but that
many hidden diseases may be

He said such a screening pro-
gram would turn up such chronic
diseases as tuberculosis, heart
conditions, and diabetes while
they are still in the early stage
when chances of cure are good.
Dr. Chapman said that the
screening program might not de-
tect all hidden or latent diseases.
TRENTON, N. J., April 27—(U.PJ
—The state attorney general's office
prepared gambling warrants against
the Western Union Telegraph com-
pany today after a bookmaking
raid on a Western Union branch bodv
office. DOfiy
The raiders arrested the Bridge-
ton, N. J., We; tern Union office
manager and a woman clerk on
charges of gambling and bookmak-
ing.
Authorities charges that "80 per-
cent ' of the Bridgeton office's
business consisted of transmitting
racing bets.
Deputy Attorney General Nelson
Stainler accused the company of
being "responsible for a great deal
of horse-betting, especially in south
and central Jersey.” He said a
warrant against Western Union
would be drawn “within a few
days."
A spokesman for Western Union's
New York headquarters said the
company had “no knowledge of the
situation” but would make a
prompt investigation.
Check Made on Charges
Stamler led the raid on the
Bridgeton office yesterday after-
noon.
The Bridgeton office is just one
of several we'd been watching,” he
said. Wc picked that one because
gambling was most flagrant there."
Charles H. Frake, the Western
Union office manager in Bridgeton,
and his assistant, Mrs. Delilah
Pattitucci, were arrested on charges
of bookmaking. Frake was re-
leased in 85.000 bail and Mrs. Pat-
tit ucci in $2,500 bail. j out. Particularly affected were

of disease or physical defect
would be round in 900 persons of
every 1000 examined if the
screening program includes tests
for heart disease, tuberculosis,
diabetes, syphilis, anemia, high
blood pressure, obesity, and vis-
ion and hearing defects.
He emphasized that persons
found with a hidden disease
should be referred to their own
physician for diagnosis and treat-
ment.
Dr. Chapman said that multi-
ple screening programs already
have been started in Alabama,
Richmond, Boston and India-
napolis, and that several other
large cities are now making plans
for large-scale operations. He
recalled that Atlanta has just
recently started a mass-screening
program and that 80 percent of
the adult population is expected
to be examined.
Elevators Idle
In Manhattan
18,000 Operators
Staging Strike
NEW YORK, April 27—</l>-Ele-
vator operators and other service
employes—the people who make
apartment life comfortable—began
walking out today in a strike that
threatened to affect 250,000 resi-
dents of the city’s skyscraper
dwellings.
The cliff-dwellers of Park ave-
nue and many a less fashionable
street agreed life wasn’t so luxur-
ious without them.
At 8 a. m. 15.000 employes in
about 1,000 apartment buildings in
all sections of Manhattan walked
the transmission of racing bets,
Stamler said. “The other 20 percent
might have been legitimate busi-
ness."
Stamler said Frake requested
no transmission charge on a money
ordei of $10 or more but charged
$2.06 for wiring a $3 money order
to St. Louis Mo. “That’s too high,"
Stamler said. "There's a drag on
that money somewhere. That's what
were after.”
Bets Arc Placed
Stamler said the arrests were
made after officers placed bets by
telegram to St. Louis. Mo., and
East St. Louis, 111., and got back
a money-order for a winning bet.
The raiding officers seized more
than 200 money orders and mes-
sages which Stamler described as
disguised bets on races.
A charge of "illegal use of tele-
graph wires” against Frake is I
classified as a "high misdemeanor," j ices,
similar to a felony charge in other)
states. Stamler said it was the first
time the charge had been used in
New Jersey's drive against gamb-1
ling.
Stamler said the warrant he was!
drawing againat Western Union j . .
would not name officers of the Mtr 5 flay is observed through-
company because it is a New York °Ut the nation on MaV 14> but in
organization.
About 200.000 persons were af-
fected by the first phase of the
strike.
Altogether, the wage-hour dis-
pute involves 18,000 employes and
the landloards of 2,000 apartment
houses.
The union, local 32-B of the AFL
Building Service Employes union,
said all its 18,000 members shortly
would be out.
The union demands a wage in-
crease of $2.75 weekly, a cut in the
work week from 48 to 40 hours,
and a welfare plan. Present wages,
say the union, are from $45.50 to
$50.32 for a 48-hour week.
The organized landlords say they
can’t take on any added expense
while rent controls continue.

Midwest Areas
Get More Snow
Much of Country Has
Overcoat Weather
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
It was overcoat weather again
today for most of the central part
of the country.
There was more snow and more
sub-freezing weather over wide
areas of the midwest. Tempera-
tures hit below freezing early today
over sections of the Dakotas,
Minnesota. Nebraska, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and in northern Michigan and
northern Illinois. Snow fell in many
parts of the cold belt.
Chicago got some of the snow
that had been showering over the
Dakotas, Minnesota and parts of
Wisconsin. Heaviest falls were in
the southern suburbs with only a
trace ln some parts of the metro-
politan area. The mercury was at
the freezing mark.
The cold Canadian air that has
chilled the midwest most of the
week headed eastward and into
parts of the south but tempera-
tures moderated. No immediate
relief from the late April cool
wave was In prespect.

Solunar Tables
Being Published
System Devised For
Determining Hours
The first Solunar table for fish-
ermen, prepared especially for the
0 Reno Daily Tribune, appears
on the classified page in today's
issue. The author. John Alden
Knight, known as the "Wizard of
Williamsport,” has devised a sys-
tem for determining the hours of
the day when wildlife is more
active. At these hours, Knight says,
a fisherman is more likely to fill
a stringer than at other hours,
since these hours are the main
feeding times.
The lunar day is longer than
the solar day, being comprised of
24 hours and 50-odd minutes. Be-
cause of this, there are times of
each month when the four dally
Solunar periods do not quite fit
themselves into the 24-hour solar
day. When this happens, there will
be a blank space In the weekly
schedule of Solunar periods, Knight
said.
In Two Groups
The Solunar periods themselves
are divided into two groups—major
periods and minor periods. These
periods of activltiy begin at the
times shown in the weekly sched-
ules.
The major periods last for ap-
proximately two hours, while the
minor periods are of somewhat
shorter duration. However, don't
make the mistake of considering
the minor periods to be of lesser
Importance. Often the best sport of
the entire day Is confined within
these short spaces of time, Knight
contends.

Are Anticipated
Federal Mediators
Seek To Avert
Railroad Strike
BY UNITED PRESS
Labor negotiators appeared to-
day to be working out settlements
in the 93-day-old Chrysler strike
and in the telephone dispute.
Federal mediators began meetings
at Chicago ln an attempt to head
off a fireman’s strike against four
railroad networks on May 10.
Officials of the CIO United Auto
Workers and Chrysler corporation
halted a marathon 21-hour bargain-
ing session at 6:40 a. m. but plan-
ned to resume talks at 2 p. m.
Both sides Issued statements that
"some progress has been made.”
About 89,000 UAW members were
involved directly in the strike which
has idled a total of 144,000 persons.
The bargainers apparently were
near agreement on a pension-med-
ical-insurance package and were
working on non-economic issues
Settlement “In Making”
At new York, leaders of the CIO
Communications Workers of Amer-
ica said they hoped to “get some-
where on the wage question” to-
day with officials of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company.
The union, which called off a
strike by 200,000 workers scheduled
for yesterday, said a settlement “In
the making" ror 21,000 long lines
workers woull cost the company
about $5 a week per employe. It
was expected to provide a formula
for settling the entire 'phone dis-
pute.
The U. 8. mediation board began
closed meetings ln a Chicago hotel
in an attempt to reach an agree-
ment on a demand by the Brother-
hood of Locomotive and Firemen
for an additional fireman on mul-
tiple-unit diesel engines.
The brotherhood postponed a
strike set for yesterday against four
railroad systems to give the board
time to make a final attempt at
settlement. The demand for the
additional fireman was lodged
against all U. 8. railroads using
big diesel equipment but only the
New York Central, Pennsylvania,
Southern and Santa Fe lines will
be affected if the strike comes off
oh the new deadline of May 10.
To Map Strategy
The CIO Oil Workers Interna-
tional union ordered leaders to
meet May 3 In Denver to work
out strategy in its dispute with the
Texas company which yesterday re-
fused to permit 5,000 striking OWI
members to return to work in re-
fineries at Casper, Wyo., and at
Port Arthur and Port Neches. Tex.
The union claims it was "locked
out” of the plants.
Operations on the Chicago and
