Go On Strike
Across Nation

In Iowa Today
BY UNITED PRESS
American airlines maintenance
workers went on strike across the
nation today in demand for a fifth
round wage increase.
The 4.600 maintenance employes
began their walkouts in major air
centers at 7:30 a. m. Pickets ap-
peared at New York, Los Angeles
and some other points. The strik-
ers, members of the CIO Trans-
port Workers union, seek a 20-
cent hourly wage increase. The
company said the increase was
not justified, in view of the de-
clining cost of living.
The line's flight schedules were
not affected immediately.
Government officials at Wash-
ington said that the soft coal
mines must get back into Operation
to avoid further crippling of in-
dustry and disruption of school
and home life. Negotiators for the
operators and the striking United
Mine Workers gathered in Wash-
ington for a resumption of talks
on a contract.
Action May Be Forced
One official predicted that Presi-
dent Truman would be forced to
ask powers to seize the mines un-
less the contract talks, or the gov-
ernment's contempt of court case
against the striking mine union,
bring about a resumption of
mining.
A CIO United Automobile Work-
ers strike against the Chrysler cor-
poration, a major automobile pro-
ducer, dragged on without signs of
settlement. The strike has stopped
output of automobiles by Chrysler
and has Idled 135,000 men direct-
ly or Indirectly. Other automobile
producers have cut back operations
because of the coal strike, or have
warned of cuts to come.
Other Disputes Arise
In other labor disputes:
Members of the CIO Packing
House Workers at two departments
of the Rath Packing company,
Waterloo, Iowa, were Idle. A union
official said the company failed to
"bargain in good faith,” and lock-
ed employes out. Rath spokesmen
said that workers had been in-
structed to return to their jobs
while grievances were discussed
but work stopped and the depart-
ments were closed.
At New York. 18 “sit-in" strikers
at the Fuld and Company greet-
ing card manufacturers office were
ordered to show cause tomorrow
why they should not be removed
from tire company's fourth-floor
offices in New York. The strikers
have lived on coffee, tea. vitamin
pills and candy bars since Friday
to attempt collection of $8,000 in
severance pay from the company,
which is moving its headquarters
to another city.
POTTSVILLE, Pa., March 1—
tU.R)—Two anthracite miners gave
thanks for their lives today to
60 coal diggers who clawed away
60 tons of coal, timbers and
debris with their bare hands to
reach them where they were
trapped by a cave-in.
But the rescuers have another
job today. They must reach Pete
the mule who is still trapped
alive 1,000 feet inside Sharp
mountain.
Robert Schoffstall, 42. and
Frank Bosack. jr„ 23, became
trapped yesterday morning in a
mine operated by Bosack's fath-
er.
Schoffstall. a mule driver, was
taking two empty mine cars into
the horizontal tunnel of the
mine when fellow workers set off
a dynamite blast that caused the
roof to fall. Both his legs were
pinned by the coal fall. Trapped
with him was his mule.
Fellow miners began rescue
work immediately. They tried to
crawl through a small hole in
the debris which blocked the
tunnel, but the opening wasn't
wide enough.
Young Bosack, the smallest
man employed in the mine, was
called and managed to wriggle
through the 15-inch wide open-
ing.
“I was working to get Schoff-
stall free when a second fall of
dirt came,” Bosack said later.
“The dirt covered Schoffstall al-
most completely and cut off my
escape route. I went further back
and tapped on an air pipe to
let the guys outside know I was
all right.”
Word of the entombment spread
rapidly through u»c area. Ap-
proximately 60 volunteers were
or. the scene to lend their help
within a few minutes.
Union and non-union miners
worked side by side, chipping the
debris loose with small hand
tools and then scooping it out
with their hands.
“There's an unwritten law
never to let a buddy inside a
mine,” one of the workers said.
“When something like this hap-
pens, we don’t think about any-
thing but getting them out. We
forget unions, overtime pay and
strikes. Minutes count at a time
like this, you know.
Schoffstall was reached seven
hours after the cave-in. His
miner's helmet, however, was
crushed by timbers. His head
was bruised when the rescuer*
pulled him out of the helmet.

SPOKANE. Wash., March 1—OP)
—A million-dollai hotel fire was
controlled early today after a six-
hour fight by 230 firemen.
More than 250 guests and per-
manent residents of the 200-room
Ridpath hotel in the city busi-
ness district fled from the build-
ing or were carried to the streets.
The adjoining Halliday hotel—a
six-story structure with 85 rooms
—was evacuated when flames
threatened it.
A Red Cross emergency center
said it had checked in more than
250 evacuees without a report of
serious injury. Four firemen were
overcome by smoke.
Estimate of the damage was
made by a Spokane realtor and
business properties manager, Theo-
dore Gnlland.
Fire Chief James Blarney de-
scribed the central section of the
L-shaped hotel an almost total
loss.
Statement Made In
Manchester Trial
MANCHESTER, N. H„ March 1
—OP)—The defense today read into
the records a statement by a fellow
physician that Mrs. Abbic Borroto
was dead before Dr. Hermann N.
Sander ever reached her bedside.
The statement reportedly was
made by Dr. Albert Snay. who ex-
amined the cancer-ridden woman
the morning of Dec. 4 a few min-
utes before Dr, Sander is alleged
to have injected air into her veins.
Sander is on trial on a charge
of first degree murder.
Dr. Snay was quoted as saying he
carefully examined Mrs. Borroto.
found no pulse, no reflex of the
eyeball, no heart sound through a
stethoscope, and therefore:
“I concluded then that site was
dead.”
Slate Witnesses Ready
The state was to unleash its
medical big guns today in the mercy
murder trial of Dr. Sander.
Two pathologists were expected to
testify in the state's attempt to
convince a Hillsborough county all-
male jury that life still flickered
within a cancer-doomed housewife
when the 41-year-old general prac-
titioner allegedly pumped air into
her veins.
Their testimony was to follow
that of Dr. Robert E. Biron. county
medical referee. Dr. Biron is the
man who confronted the soft-
spoken Candia, N. H„ physician
with "Why did you do it?" last
Dec. 29. more than three weeks
after Mrs. Borroto's death. On
Dec. 29. Dr. Biron had learned
from the staff chief of the Hills-
borough county hospital that on
Dec. 12. eight days after the 59-
year-old woman's death. Dr. Sander
dictated onto her hospital record
the statement that he injected four
big air bubbles into Mrs. Borroto's
veins and that she died in 10
minutes.
Implication Made
The state has implied that, al-
though the two doctors were on a
wann personal acquaintance basis,
they quarreled at the Dec. 29 meet-
ing. Two hospital attaches have
testified that although Dr. Sander
appeared calm, Dr. Biron was "kind
of excited."
The two medical experts were
expected to testify that Mrs. Bor-
roto did not die of the massive
and spreading abdominal cancer
before the air was syringed into her
blood system. They were Dr. Mil-
ton Helpern, deputy chief medical
examiner for New York City, and
Dr. Ralph Miller, state pathologist,
of Dartmouth college.

Ruling Is Given
On School Law
Regular Attendance
Is Requirement
OKLAHOMA CITY. March 1-0P)
—Parents of children who do not
attend school regularly are subject
to prosecution In court after they
have been given sufficient notice,
the attorney general ruled today.
The opinion was given to Bobby
Lee Morrison, Canadian county at-
torney who complained that El
Reno now has a problem of boys
between 15 and 17 not attending
school.
The law now requires attendance
in school until the age of 18—or
until graduation from highschool.
Parents must be notified that
their child Is not in school, the
opinion pointed out. Then, if the
child has not returned to classes
within five days, prosecution can
be started.
The ruling pointed out that par-
ents or guardians must be given
every opportunity to get the child
back in class before such prosecu-
tion is begun. If the parents make
every reasonable effort but still
cannot force attendance, there
probably could not be any successful
prosecution, he added.
There is no punishment for a
child that does not attend classes.
Need of Entire
Quota Is Cited
Red Cross Campaign
Workers Organized
“Unless the (12.500 quota assigned
Canadian county is reached, the
local chapter cannot continue op-
erations,” William L. Fogg, county
chairman, told campaign workers
attending the organizational dinner
Tuesday night at the El Reno Coun-
try club.
Fogg stated that with complete
rural and urban cooperation the
1950 drive which officially opened
today could be brought to a success-
ful conclusion within two weeks.
Earl Barnes, chairman of the lo-
cal fund campaign committee, an-
nounced that complete coverage of
the business district and residential
sections has been assured by Louis
Reiter and Mrs. Guy Cubbage,
chairmen of the divisions.
Mrs. L. A. Garner, executive sec-
retary, stated that to expedite col-
lections, an office has been estab-
lished in the Clayton Campbell In-
surance agency where donations
will be received.
“Also, work sheets have been dis-
tributed tills year,” Mrs. Garner
explained, “and business firms kti
being asked to assist by securing
donations from employes before the
workers call.
She stated that block contribu-
tions last year averaged $10.
“The quota has been pared to an
Irreducible minimum.” Mrs. Gamer
stressed, “and must be met if the
Red Cross is to continue to provide
the services of many Red Feather
organizations under one administra-
tive cost.”

Scientist Admits
Giving Russia
Defense Secrets
British Researcher
Receives Maximum
Prison Sentence
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dr. Klaus Fuchs, the Jekyll-Hyde
brain of British atomic research,
pleaded guilty today to betraying
top British and American defense
secrets to Russia. He received the
maximum sentence—14 years im-
prisonment.
The German-born scientist con-
fessed his guilt in a swift trial in
London's Old Bailey criminal court.
His lawyers told reporters "an ap-
peal is being considered.”
Dates. Places Listed
Fuchs in his statement admitted
he betrayed secrets to Soviet agents
in England in 1943, in New York in
1944, in Boston in 1945, and again
in England in 1947.
Baron Goddard, the lord chief
justice who pronounced sentence,
said: "You have done irreparable
harm both to this land and to the
U. S. A., and you did it as your
statement shows—clearly for the
purpose of furthering your own
political creed.”
The 38-year-old physicist con-
fessed to a split personality, en-
abling him to serve both commu-
nism and his adopted country,
Britain.
Chiang Returns
In Taipei. Formosa. Chiang Kai-
shek became president again of
what is left of the Chinese na-
tional republic. He said he retired
a year ago to enable Vice President
Li Tsung-Jen to negotiate a peace
with the Communists.
That had not been possible.
Chiang said he was resuming the
presidency because “the gravest ca-
tastrophe has befallen the Chinese
race in the 5,000 years of its his-
tory.”
Chiang also resumed his position
as commander-in-chief and prom-
ised to Intensify the war against
Communists. As a token of this
promise nationalist bombers raided
power installations in Red Nanking.

'Big Three'
May Meet
WASHINGTON, March 1-dfV-
Secretary of 8tate Dean Acheson
said today a meeting of the for-
eign ministers of Britain, the

well be needed this spring.
He added at a news conference,
however, that no conclusions on
the possibility of such a session
have been reached.
Asked specifically whether a Big

is under consideration. Acheson
said he did not know. He evidently
had not considered such a session
himself.
Acheson also took occasion at

McCloy at Frankfurt yesterday for
free elections In all Oermany, in-

In Fund Drive
WASHINGTON, March 1—(U.R)—
President Truman opened the 1950
Red Cross drive last night by urg-
ing all Americans to respond to
“a great humanitarian appeal" to
help their distressed neighbors.
"Through your response to their
appeal," said Mr. Truman, "the
Red Cross becomes your agent to
do for your less fortunate neigh-
bors the things you would do your-
self if you could be at the scene
when calamity strikes, or when
accident occurs, or when a man in
uniform or an ex-service man
needs a helping hand.”
Mr. Truman spoke during the
last five minutes of a coast-to-
coast broadcast which opened the
campaign to collect $67,000,000 for
the agency.

Rectify Error
Question Revolves
Around ‘Land Trade’
Residents of El Reno soon will
be given the opportunity to rectify
an error made by the board of city
commissioners in 1921, it was re-
ported today by City Manager C. A.
Bentley.
That is the question which will
be put before the people for a vote
at the April 4 municipal election
if the present city council so de-
cides at its March meeting next
Monday night.
The question revolves around a
"land trade” between the city and
the General Mills but at present
actually involves only a small por-
tion of ground originally platted as
parts of Oak street and Bickford
avenue.
Procedure Recounted
In 1921, Bentley explained. Oak
street and Bickford avenue both
dead-ended against General Mills
property.
The city commissioners wished to
extend Bickford to Elm street and
made a deal with Oeneral Mills As
a result the milling firm deeded
parts of block 11 and 13, Crockett’s
addition, to the city in return for
that part of Oak between Bickford
and the firm's property and that
part of Bickford south of Oak as it
was originally platted.
To carry out their part of the
trade the commissioners passed an
ordinance vacating the dead ends of
Oak and Bickford.
The commissioners curved Bick-
ford to open on Elm street and the
milling firm used the vacated tracts.
Enlargement Planned
In recent months General Mills
officials have been planning to en-
large the plant here and discovered
the firm did not hold legal title to
the vacated portions of the two
streets, since the 1921 commissioners
had accidentally overlooked that
part of the law which makes it
mandatory to allow the people to
vote on vacating city land.
Bentley said he would urge the
council to take necessary steps to
legally vacate the two small tracts
since the city has a moral obliga-
tion to fulfill and smte expansion
of the General Mills will be of treat
value to the city.
The city manager S'ld thr coun-
cil also will be asked to vacate
Fourteenth avenue between Ash and
Watts streets. Ouly a small portion
of the avenue has been opened since
It was platted and dedicated.
Lions Told Of
Specific Duty
Attorney General
Is Heard Here
Mac Q. Williamson, state attor-
ney general, declared that civic
clubs have a duty and responsibil-
ity toward their community and
urged them to accept that responsi-
bility when he addressed members
of the El Reno Lions club during
the Tuesday luncheon meeting at
the Oxford cafe.
“A civic club is an artillci&l be-
ing,” Williamson explained, "and,
as such has a composite responsi-
bility toward the community and
not only the right, but the duty,
to discuss and study Issues of the
day, both political and non-politl-
cal in character."
The Speaker, who also discussed
the federal policy of peacetime de-
ficit spending, was introduced by
A. Francis Porta.
Announcement was made of the
joint civic dinner planned for
Tuesday, March 7, at Etta Dale
junior highschool which will re- j
place the regular noon meeting of |
the club.
Excitement Of
Chase Costs
Leopard's Life
Veterinarian Says
Drug Used in Bait
Did Not Cause Death
OKLAHOMA CITY. March 1—UP)
—The excitement of the hunt
proved too much for the leopard
which escaped from the Lincoln
park zoo. was gone 61 hours, crawled
back to his den—and then died.
That was the autopsy report to-
day of veterinarian W. O. Bower-
man on the beast which kept zoo
officials and hunters on edge for
nearly three days.
Bowerman said the leopard died
of a collapsed lung brought on by
extreme exertion and depression
following the excitement of the
chase.
The veterinarian said a drug used
in bait which the animal ate when
it returned to the zoo early yester-
day did not cause the death.
Bowerman also added that his
examination disclosed that the ani-
mal had pneumonia a year or two
ago while in the India jungle. He
discovered scar tissue.
Might Have Caused Trouble
And he added that the animal
would have required much handling
because of his ailment and, being
a mean beast, might have hurt
someone working on him.
"It is better that he died now,"
Bowerman said.
"Everything works out lor the
best,” said Julian Frazier, zoo di-
rector.
Herbert Rodgers will mount the
animal. He started work today but
said it will be two months before
the job is completed.
First the animal must be skinned,
then the hide tanned.
Prints of the animal’s paws will
be kept on file at the zoo—just to
show Oklahomans and others how
a leopard's paw prints really look.
Nneaks Back to Zoo
The leopard had sneaked back to
the zoo under cover of darkness to
eat horae meat bait which had
been treated with narcotics. A zoo
j guard found him groggy about 2
a m. yesterday.
He had been returned to a cage
by Frazier, who lassoed the drugged
fugitive.
Roy Roberts, a zoo attendant,
noticed the leopard was djrtag when
he made a routine check shortly
before dusk yesterday.
He pulled the big cat from the
Iron-bound crate-cage S- -C pumped
its legs several times. Tire leopard
died a few minutes later.
The big cat’s 60 hours of freedom
in the blackjack country north and
east of Oklahoma City touched off
the most exciting animal hunt in
recent Oklahoma history. But the
leopard eluded battle-trained ma-

Building Gains
In February
Building activities for 1950 got
away to a slow start in January
but spurted ahead in February as
the mild weather continued.
Only three permits were issued
by Miss Ethel Dowell, city clerk,
during January, for a total worth
of only 81,700, while during the
month just ended there were nine
permits Issued for a total value of
$37,750.
Three of the permits issued in
February were for new residences,
with a total value of $31,000. No
residential building permits were
issued during January or during the
first two months of 1940.
The February home permits were
issued to E. P. Botts at 1021 South
Barker avenue, Art Benge at 800
South Hadden avenue, and to the
C. F. Thompson Building company
