Apr 16—(t'P) — The strike of 1.800 carpenters here today halted Industrial and residential construction in many areas. The carpenters began a strike against the building contractors association of Indianapolis as a strike of 200 city street cleaner* threatened to spread to ash and garbage collection services and the city sanitation plant. The carpenters — represented by the Marion county carpenters district council (AFL) —requested a 30-cent wage boost that would bring their hourly pay to $1 80. Recently they rejected an awnciation offer of $1.62 an hour. C. O. Holmes, the association’s executive secretary, said the strike was chiefly on commercial projects. It did include some veterans' homes, he *ald. Fred Martin. president of Teamsters’ Union lax-al 135 (AFL), said the street cleaners' strike was called because of Mayor Robert H. Tyndall’s "consistent refusal" to meet with the union's representatives. Tyndall stated that he had no legal authority to recognize a labor union. Martin said that the ash. garbage and sanitation plant workers were expected to join the street cleaners in a "sympathy” strike today. The word "Wyoming" i» said to mean mountains and valleys alternating. Texas is rapidly gaining on Florida In grapefruit production; in tbe coming geason Florida's crop is estimated at 32 million boxes, Texas 24 million and CaliforniaArizona 8 million boxes. Arizona produced over 2.550 carloads of oranges in 1945.

Auto Workers Union Board In Meeting ♦Test Os Reuther's Strength In Offing Chicago, Apr. 16— <l’l*B The 22 man executive laiard of the CIO United Auto Worker* Union settled down to business today at Its first meeting since Walter Reuther became union president. The tneering may determine the extent to which the union v ill back Reuther's |>olicles. The new president's opponent* are I conceded a 63 percent majority j on the board. Reuther unaeatod R. J. Thoma* ; a* president at the union’* annual j convention In Atlantic City last month. Thoma* wa* present at today's meeting In Reuther’s former capacity a* vice president, but for the first time since 1938 he did not preside a* chairman. Yesterday's SOSSIOM were limited to committee meeting* and factional caucuses. At the partisan get together* Thomas, leader of the union's left wing faction. wa* out*poken in hi* determination to make a comeback attempt. He and George Addes, union sec retary treasurer, are openly opposed to many of Reuther's announced policies. In his fight to retain the presidency, Thomas had the implied endorsement of CJO president Philip Murray. He lost by 124 vote*. Reuther, at 38, has gained nationwide attention by his conduct of the General Motors strike. His opponent* have charged him with "antl-CIO policies” and "bad'' leadership during the GM strike. Reuther said he would ask the < xecutive lx>ard to work out a program to enlist the whole union membershiup in a fight to ward off Inflation and keep prices down. He charged that the Deckers' warning of an impending meat famine was a "complete phony.” He said the warning wa* "simply a part of the annual drive of the meat industry to remove price controls or lift price ceiling* on food products” o f c \A 0 BV I f vs> w sasuN k J rUieSoftly The depressing thing about a reckless driver is hl* stupidity. If you don't think that the reckless driver, for that matter the human race, is nuts, spend an hour in any traffic court. That will eon vince you. I know of a driver, or one of these reckless individuals, who, made 20 miles in 30 minutes through modern traffic congestion He had to ipaintaln an average of at least 40 mile* per hour he violated traffic regulations, just missed a boy on a bicycle, and hae several other close calls en route. if he had averaged 30 miles an hour, it would have taken him 10 minutes longer to get home • What did he do with the ten min-1 utec that he saved? No one will ever know because he could not account for it and was bragging about the speed which he had to travel to make a record in getting I home after a day's work. He's plain nut*—but how many other nutty people are driving just like this?
