But federal conciliator Arthur C. Viat denied that company officials were balking his attempts to enter into the peace talks. Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the UAW, said the “union regrets the attitude of the Ford Motor company has delayed intervention of the federal mediation and conciliation service in strike negotiations.” However, Viat said he conferred with John S. Bugas, chief Ford negotiator, and the company “did not indicate opposition in the least on my entering into negotiations." Mazey said he hoped the company “will shortly overcome its timidity about laying its case bare” before conciliators. Negotiators tried again to settle the strike at the River Rouge and Lincoln plants which has closed all Ford assembly lines across the nation. Viat said he had no immediate plans for formal government entry Into the dispute over alleged assembly line "speed ups" at the two key plants.

Cigaref Tax Stamp Counterfeiters Held Four Men Arrested At Chicago Plant Chicago, May 18—(UP)— A gang which allegedly counterfeited St. Louis cigaret tax stamps was in custody today following a raid which came after police watched a printing shop 24 hours a day for two months. Ali but one of the four men were from Chicago. He gave his name as Joseph Costello, 40, St. Louis. The Chicago men were Fred Birssa. 46, Albert F. Darnell, 38, and Harvey Sledge, 38. Police closed in on the men in Darnell’s printing shop. They had I watched the shop continuously for two months. They said Costello was a business associate of Leo V. Brothers, operator of the Ace Cab Co., in St. Louis. Costello said he was conferring about advertising with Darnell. Birssa had been at liberty on bond in the alleged hijacking of 525,000 worth of liquor. Capt. Timothy O’Connor, chief of detectives, said that Costello told him he was vice-president and 1 manager of the Ace service stations in St. Louis. Sledge is a lithographer. O’Connor said Sledge told him that he was paid SSOO for making plates, and that he knew of nothing wrong in the job when he was asked to do j it. I

O'Connor said t-iat Darnell's shop had been watched since March, and that Costelt ft- 8 car was noticed, when It stopped there, because it bore a Missouri license. Costello, the detective chief said, told officers at first that he was having some advertisements printed here for his St. Louis business. No formal charges were lodged against the four. They were questioned by assistant state's attorney Lewis Gordon, but Darnell was the only ‘one who would talk freely. A conference on charges was to be held today. O'Connor said that 125 sheets of St. Irnuis cigaret tax stamps were found, and some photoplates of Indiana and Oklahoma cigaret tax stamps.

DOCTOR TESTIFIES (Cont.

Police talked to ■ Rutledge about 2 p. m. i When he talked to the young I doctor at about 4:30 p. m., MuenI ster said. Rutledge "realized the r full gravity of the situation, but had an artifically cheerful state of mind.” ! “This implied strongly that his ' judgment was impaired,” he said. ’ The courtroom was packed again today, but the crowd in corJ ridors outside was smaller than I yesterday when Rutledge’s honey- , blonde wife, Sydney, was on the stand. . Muenster, following Mrs. Rutledge to the stand, testified yes- ’ terday that in his opinion Rut- . ledge could not "carry on a lucid . conversation” at 4:30 p. m. Dee. 17. Rutledge never has made a formal admission of the killing. The defense contends * that Hattman pulled a knife on Rutledge and that the knife “changed hands” 1 while the doctor was acting in self-defense. Earlier, yesterday, Mrs. Rutledge testified that her husband returned from Cedar Rapids “cut. swollen and quiet bloody,” bolster- . ing the defense claim that a severe i struggle took place in the hotel room. * fc Rutledge told in intimate detail earlier this week of how Hattman allegedly ted her doublestrength bourbon drinks to weaken her resistance and then seduced her. over her protests, in the bed-. room of the Rutledge apartment. |
