STRIKE THREAT PERILS TRUCE IN G. M. PLANTS
U. A. W. Official Orders Auto Workers Back to Buick And Fisher Jobs.
FLINT, Mich., April 20 (U. P).— An ultimatum from President Homer Martin of the United Automobile Workers Union restored labor peace ‘to Flint today, but new strike. threats were heard.
Settlement of a labor dispute which paralyzed production in Fisher Body Plant No. 1 and on the Buick assembly line was reached at Mr. Martin's direction. He called off a union dues-collection drive which General Motors officials said prompted them to close the Fisher plant, Buick’s assembly line was closed because of a shortage of Fisherbuilt bodies. Mqre than 5000 employees were left idle during the . two-day shutdown. Buick resumed production today and Fisher prepared to reopen tomorrow. Meanwhile U. A. W. members in Buick and Chevrolet plants cast the first ballots in a strike vote. The balloting will continue until Saturday.
Charge Contract Violation
Union officials, who approved the strike vote, charge Buick and Chevrolet managements with discrimination and failure to abide by contract seniority provisions. The Fisher plant was closed when company officials announced the production schedule was disrupted because U. A. W. pickets barred 400 workers from the factory. Mr. Martin said only 47 of Fisher's 3700 employees were turned back at the gates. Possibility of further disturbances at the Fisher plant was seen in the reaction of Henry Wilson, chairman of the Fisher local, to Mr. Martin's orders. Hé said: “Since the company has expressed such concern that their stooges report for work, we may see that they stay there. We may do our dues collecting after working hours at the gates.” 8 Other Plants Struck
: Meanwhile, strikes plagued employers at eight other Michigan industrial plants, including the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corp. at Detroit, where 200 struck over treatmeént given a union steward. Three of Bohn Aluminum Co.’s eight plants in Detroit were closed when approximately walked out. Strikes also closed Michigan Steel Casting, Detroit Moulding and Michigan Smelting companies. United Furniture Workers Union members picketed the Saginaw Furniture shop at Saginaw as it .reopened after a two-weeks shutdown. A strike at the River Basin Paper Co. plant at Monroe entered its 11th day.

4 FACTIONS WHOOP IT UPIN IL U. PROM VOTE
BLOOMINGTON, April 20 (U. P.) —Indiana University juniors teday were to choose a queen to reign at their junior prom April 29. Three of the four candidates, backed by sororities, staged a furious, last-minute campaign last night. A torchlight parade, a fire truck and a bonfire near the gymnasum was Kappa Alpha Theta’s election push for Mary Ann Kunkel, Bluffton. Then Alpha Chi Omega girls loaded into cars, parading near the gym, honking: and whooping it up to drown out the other campaign ballyhoo. They were backing Jeanerre Prinz, Louisville. Alpha Omicron Pi used a swing band te boost their tandidate, Harriet Scott, Griflith. Meanwhile, the fourth candidate, Jane Bosart, Indianapolis, remained quietly in her room. She will depend on a solid vote of the 385 independents, since there are only 595 junior men.
LIFE-TERMER FREE ON BOND FOR TRIAL
MONTICELLO, April 20 (U. P). —Wilfred A. Osbon is free under $5000 bond today for the first time since he started serving a life sentence two years ago for the murder of Kenneth Roth; 21, who died from poison. Osbon was brought here after the Indiana Supreme Court recently granted him a new trial. He was a former Indianapolis building commissioner before his conviction ‘in 1936. Mr. and Mrs. Osbon and Roth took a boat ride on a lake and upon returning, Roth died from poisoning on March 17, 1935. Mrs. Osbon, who is under a bond of $10,000, was also charged with Roth’s death, but she was not brought to trial,

Postmen were sent to investigate and learned the letter had been shoved into a mail storage box. The man then told postal officials he always carried a screwdriver so he could get his letters into the tightly closed box.

pty purses and billfolds to their victims, Mr. Cox said. They do this to avoid the danger of being caught
with evidence on them. “Identification cards usually are in the purses and we deliver them to their owners,” he said. Knowing what can and what cannot be mailed seems to be the public’s major problem. A southern Indiana farmer's wife sent a live chicken by mail to an Indianapolis relative last week, violating Postal Laws and Regulations. City offi‘cials are frequent violators when they mail dogs’ heads to the State Health Board for analysis. “If people could tell the difference between the Federal Building and the Court House, we wouldn't have so many inquiries for marriage licenses and dog tags, ” Mr. Cox said.
A Small Werld?
He explained why so many letters -land in the dead-letter office. A family moved to Indianapolis from Chicago recently and told their Chicago friends their new address would be “Indianapolis.” A few days ago clerks were puzzled by a letter addressed to “John ~—————, Corner 21st and 30th Sts., Indianapolis, Ind.” Postal clerks search through guide books to direct misaddressed mail, but often fail, he said. Postoffice officials also must collect postage on unstamped circulars dropped into mail boxes. *It isn’t hard for us to collect postage from companies and stores,” Mr. Cox said, “because there is a $300 fine for each violation.” Mr. Cox’s day always ends with a question. Typical is, mailable?” “They are,” said Mr. Cox.

The decision reversed an opinion | of the Los Angeles Superior Court in the case of Dave Rosen, Long Beach, who had been convicted and sentenced to five years in prison - for robbing the operator of a gambling game of $198. | Rosen, in appealing to the high court, contended that the lower court refused to admit evidence which showed that intent for robbery was lacking.
