UAllul Township Trustees Meet Here Today The township trustees met with Adams county schools superintendent L. L. Hann today in the court house. Details of the proceedings were not available at a late hour. DIXIE SUFFERS (Cont. From Page One) southwest haylift which yesterday dropped a new record of 259,288 pounds of hay to stranded herds in the Nevada area. From his headquarters at Omaha, Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick opene'd a coordinated attack on the snows covering the northern plains. He sent forth hundreds of caterpillars, bulldozers, scrapers, graders. rotary plows and weaseis, controlling them over a special radio network ana an elaborate aerial reconnaisance system. Labor unions pledged him all personnel needed to handle the machinery which in many cases was loaned by private firms. ENTIRE CITY (Cont. From Page Ono) damaged. Tolerico said he knew it was a mine cave-in. He rushed into his mother's room and found her on the floor screaming. With his sister and brother, they helped their mother downstairs, climbing over broken furniture and broken glass. The cave-in was the worst in Carbondale history. It occurred on the borderline separating the city from Carbondale township. The mine, employing about 100 persons, was operated by the De Angelis Coal Co., under a lease from Hudson. Residents in the sections said it was the second subsidence in the last week in this town of about 20.000 persons in northeastern Pennsylvania. State police were called in to augment local authorities and the entire section was immediately roped off. Rescue workers immediately started searching the damaged homes.

Al, DI/VAIUA) IHVIAIIA Groundhog Day On Wednesday, Will i He See Shadow? t W. C. Groundhog, of near Decatur, today was planning a coming 1 out (party for dawn Wednesday, and local nature lovers, farmers and weather prophets were getting set to watch. W. iC. (for woodchuck) will take a gander at prevailing conditions r and decide whether or not to re- ; turn to retirement. If he can pers ceive his grizzly shadow, it'll mean six more weeks of blustering win- - ter. If clouds eliminate his shadow, - the story 'goes, spring will he just > around the corner. i The weather man, who probably is just as worried as everybody • else about the prospects for spring. • today released a timorous forecast , of somewhat cloudy. The bashful I Mr. Groundhog was still girdling ' his self-confident c for tomorrow's look at the world. I _ i LANDLORD'S (Cont. From Page One) said that the group planned an annual $1 assessment on each unit of rental property owned by member landlords. He estimated that 750,000 rental units in the nation have been , withdrawn from the rental market in protest against rent controls, , about 300,000 of them by members of the 18-month-old association. “This will snowball and no one will be able to see where it will stop unless something is done,” McCormick said. "We're not interested in gouging our tenants, but we do expect a fair return for our investment.” Another campaign was started in Chicago by the National Home and Property Owners Foundation, which charged in a letter to President Truman that rent controls mean "confiscation, liquidation, loss of our property, and eventual government ownership of every-

• Leaders of unions representing railroad engineers and firemen seek to force railroads to add extra, needless men on diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste '—a “make-work” program which would mean fewer improvements and higher costs-for YOU! Railroads use modem diesel locomotives because they are one of the means of giving faster, better service to you. Two men compose the crew of a diesel. They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fireman sits and watches the track ahead. With no coal to shovel, he has practically nothing else to do. No Benefit To You Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the railroads. The extra men they propose to add to the diesel crews are not needed. There is no work for them. The union leaders are fighting among themselves about which union should furnish these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have even threatened a strike. You may not be interested in this dispute of these two unions, but you would be vitally concerned if these groups succeed in putting through this featherbedding scheme, because it would mean a slowing up of the imjvrowment program of the railroads—of w htcii tht dzuxl b tbt mboL

The electric chair, which gathered dust for nearly three years, was set up not more than 15 feet away from the cell where Watts was moved yesterday morning on the first floor of the death house. After word of the stay was received, the chair was dismantled. "I’m mighty glad to hear it, Watts said when informed he had won a last-minute postponement. He grinned and joked with Howard and a deputy warden when they laughingly threatened to take away his "last meal.” Earlier, Watts turned from light reading to his Bible after prison chaiplain Robert Hall spent sever- » — thing.” The Milwaukee Property Owners association voted last night for individual members to send out eviction notices as the Tulsa landlords did last week.

leaders or two unions think its a Tea i nor'Bed

Diesel crews are among the highest paid railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor. Their pay is high by any standard. Granting of these demands, therefore would mean that the railroads would be paying out millions in unearned wages to those m the very highest pay brackets. We'd Like To Spend This Money On You You know how much the diesel has meant to you in increased speed, comfort and convenience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But needless draiits of money, such as this present demand of the unions for needless men on i diesels, reduce the ability of the railroads to spend money on better service for you. Proud as the railroads are of the diesel it is only a small part of their improvement program. Since the War, literally i billions of dollars have been spent on un- i provement of tracks and stations, on new
