Studying Reams Os Evidence On Strike 115-Day Hearing On Kohler Co. Strike CHICAGO (UP) — A National Labor Relations Board trial examiner today began studying reams of testimony compiled during a near-record 115-day hearing on the Kohler Manufacturing Co, strike. Trial examiner George A. Downing adjourned the public hearings Monday afternoon. Attorneys said about 20.000 pages of transcript were compiled during the marathon hearings, along with about 1,200 exhibits. The hearings involved charges of unfair labor practices brought by United Auto Workers Local 833 of Sheboygan, Wis., which has been on strike against the plumbingware firm since April, 5, 1954. It is the nation's longest major walkout. The union charged that 78 persons fired by Kohler during the early days of the strike were discriminated against because of their legal union activities. Attorneys for Kohler contended the employes were discharged for repeated misconduct in their strike activities. Downing returned to Washington, D.C , Monday night and said he would begin considering the case immediately. He said he would report his decision to the NLRB as soon as possible. However, attorneys for both the company and the union said it might be more than a year before a decision is Reached, and then the case probably will be taken before the U.S. Supreme Court for a final ruling. *‘This was one of the longest trials of its kind on record, exceeded only by the Mid-Continent case and the Wierton dispute,” Downing said. —- While attorneys wound up their arguments here, Kohler President Herbert V. Kohler charged at an American Mining Congress meeting in Salt Lake»City that UAW President Walter Reuther is a 'Moscow-trained Socialist.” Kohler said Reuther is trying to bring about a labor government in this country and "it would be a Socialist government.” He told newsmen later that Reuther and his brother, Victor, spent time in Moscow in the late 19305. Kohler charged his firm now is being “subjected to a nationwide boycott with the avowed purpose of wrecking the company” Woma nls Killed In Lawnmower Accident INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Mrs. Beverly Sue Heid, 16, Marion Couna lawnmower accident.

Maine Voters Drop September Election Referendum Held In Maine Monday PORTLAND. Maine (W — Maine's famous weather vane election, which sometimes pointed the wrong way, was pointed without question today' tow’ard its own oblivion in 1960. The voters of the state decided to abandon the early election in Monday's special referendum election. Maine will vote once more in September, next year. Then, in 1960, it will elect its officials along with the rest of the nation in November. This means that the unreliable old political maxim, “As Maine Goes, So Goes the Nation,” will no longer be pertinent. Principal reason for dropping the early election was that in presidential years Maine had to bear the costs of two elections—one for its congressmen, senators and state officials and one for the President. The state has voted on the second Monday in September since it broke away from Massachusetts and became a state in 1820137 years ago.

Charges Charlatanry In Insurance Field Hospital Insurance Victim Os Hucksters INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—An Indiana legislator has charged "charlatanry” in the hospitalization insurance field and called upon insurance officials to clean their own house. Sen J. Russell Townsend <RIndianapolis) told the Indiana Accident and Health Assn. Monday that the "business has become the happy hunting ground of hucksters whose business ethics have no scruples, no morals and no quarter for the unwary.” Hospitalization insurance malpractices have not been opposed aggressively by insurance agents and companies, he said. Even law enforcement agencies have not always “done their duty,” Townsend charged. "Our laws should absolutely prohibit the disgraceful schemes «of sending gangs of so-called agents to overwhelm a community into buying hospitalization insurance and then stealing away in the night leaving deceit and distress in their wake,” he said. Townsend told the group that during the course of a legislative committee’s investigation, it had come across instances where premiums were raised without explanation. Some companies had refused or stalled on settlements, he said. In other instances, it wat reported hospitals favored certain insurance companies. "Any insurance agent knows how gun-shy prospects have become as the result of the charlatans and ‘easy money’ boys who have infested the field,” he said. Agent licensing laws should be strengthened and enforced as the first step in combatting bad practices in the field, he said. Further, every company “should be subject to civil and criminal prosecution for the misdeeds of its agents,” he saia. Evansville Man Is Killed In Accident PRINCETON, Ind.

He said Mikoyan charged the United States was trying to stir up trouble in the Middle East and was dilly-dallying on disarmament. Ellender rejected both arguments. He said Mikoyan promised the Soviet Union would do nothing to stop the flow of Middle East oil to the West. Ellender said he told Mikoyan that Congress had approved a bill modifying fingerprint requirements for foreign visitors to the United States which will facilitate exchanges of students, professors, musicians and others with the Soviet Union. He said Mijcoyan indicated Ke was very pleased at the news. .'ii : ' 1 TOMORROW TOT’S DAY AT Edward’s Studio
