£10, LEWS GIRD FOR FIGHT

Swill May Come When U. M. W. Discusses

Dues Payment.

WASHINGTON, May 26 (U. P.).— “More than 300 members of the United Mine Workers executive board and policy committee *discussed routine business today and waited for official permission to talk

ahout U. M. W.-C. I. O. trelations. The call for the special meeting

sent out by U. M. W. President John

L. Lewis listed only one point of dispute—$1,665,000 advanced to the Congress of Industrial Organizations by the U. M. W.—but ‘delegates expected a review of the entire tontroversy. Philip Murray, C. I. O. president and U. M. W, vice president, was reported ready to give up his $18,000 a year U. M. W. salary, but desirous of serving out his term without pay. He became president of the steel workers last week at a salary of $20,000 a year. The C.I1. O. job carries no pay.

Debt Claim Is Issue

Mr. Lewis blocked any effort that might have been made yesterday for discussion of ‘Mr. Murray's status, or C. I. 0.-U. M. W. relations strained since Mr. Murray rebuked Mr. Lewis for a C. I. O.-A. F. of L. peace proposal last January. The explosive question of U. M. W.-C. I. O. relations may come when the executive board and policy committee, meeting jointly, take up the debt claim and payment of U. M. W. per capita dues. The C. I. O. executive board has rejected the debt claim, contending that it was a gift, and the U. M. W. has paid no dues since February. The mine workers must decide whether to resume payments on June 15 or become delinquent and subject to suspension. Unless the dues are paid the mine workers would not be entitled to representation at the C. I. O. national convention in October.

Have you ever watched a winning team in baseball, football, or any other sport, and figured the hours of work and training back of winning? . YOU have an opportunity right now to join a winning team in this great Civilian Defense organization. But it will take some time and training for you to be on the first team. At least 3000 air raid wardens must be trained to protect the homes and business of Indianapolis and Marion county. Why not volunteer and train with this winning team?

driveway, glad for a chance to stretch their legs. I pulled up alongside the stout gentleman in.a big blue sedan. “New York,” he said, getting out of the car, “here I come. I hope.” He wiped beads of perspiration off his face and hurried into the restaurant, returning with a dou-ble-dip, vanilla ice cream cone.

“Brother,” he said to me, “if I get back to Manhattan, I'm going to trade this gas-guzzler in on a kiddie car.” The line moved slowly toward the pumps where attendants were running around in circles, making only a stab at wiping windshields. A woman in slacks turned to another woman in slacks and said she had heard that the station was running out of gas. “Oh dear! They just can’t do that,” said the other woman. The fat man and I pulled up at the pumps at the same time. “Fill ’er up, pal,” he ordered. “Eighteen gallons is 18 miles. Anybody want to buy-a ritzy automobile? The price is going down. Do I hear an offer?” Other travelers grinned. “Serves you right,” commented an elderly lady. “Nobody needs a big car like that.” ; “You're telling me?” replied the fat man. He pointed to a row of telegraph poles marching stolidly in single file over the foliaged mountain ahead. “What happened to those old electric cars?” he wailed. Then he was off in a burst of exhaust smoke. | # 8 s

Hoped Until Last

But It Was No Use AT HARRISBURG, I got my ration card at city hall which is

a converted high school building. School teachers had completed the general issuance of ration cards the day before. But there still were a good many residents who had failed to get cards in the hope the rationing would be called off at the last minute—and, of course, travelers. Two tired young women questioned applicants crowding up to the counter. You had to keep pushing in the crowd or ypu were squeezed out. At the doorway everybody tripped over a heavy cardboard sign which had fallen off the wall in the rush. It said: “Please Do Not Spit on the Floor.”

Motorists had filled up the night before. Newspapers. were full of reports that the OPA would crack down on “gas hogs,” those who had demanded X-cards (unlimited) or B-3 cards to which they were not entitled. Sure enough the OPA did. Sunday, OPA investigators stopped hundreds of cars at the Delaware river and Tacony Palmyra bridges, the outlets to New Jersey seashore resorts. Holders of A cards were let through. Motorists who held higher ration cards were turned back unless they could prove they had business at the shore. Not many could. Threats that the OPA would prosecute those who had demanded higher ration cards than they were entitled to brought thousands of worried motorists back to the ration bureaus to exchange B-3 cards and X-cards for simple, three-gallon-a-week A cards. ” s s

Business Was Good On the Night Before

“SURE WE'VE got to have rationing,” a salesman. told me. “But it’s unfair for men like me. I

get 57 gallons. That just takes care of the calls I have to make. It leaves me Bothing Yor pleasure driving. “I don't care about pleasure driving. But people who use their cars only for pleasure have their A-card purely for pleasure driving. In that sense, it's unfair, but otherwise, I guess it’s all right.” A filling station owner told me: “The night before rationing started, I sold 2000 gallons an hour. They were lined up for two blocks. I tell you I almost went crazy. “Well, it's over now. We got rationing. I'm going to try to stay in business. I'm not complaining. I know that tankers are heing sunk so we can have to throw away. But what I wagl to know is why didn’t they b a pipeline? Why didn’t th do something a year ago?” # # 8 Horse Extinct? Not in New York

IN NEW YORK CITY traffic had begun to die down. Horsedrawn carriages had blossomed out. The horse and carriage never quite became extinct there and now it’s come into its own. I saw an elderly man and woman driving serenely along Park ave. at 47th st. in a bright green carriage, drawn by a dappled gray work horse. On the back of the carriage was a sign:

GLAND ND DOCTOR

ly; Lost Fortune; Active ‘In Politics.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 26 (U. P.).—~Dr. John R. Brinkley, who made a fortune as a gland specialist, died today at a San Antonio hospital after a long illness. The 57-year-old former Milford, Kas., hospital owner suffered a heart attack Friday, Dr.. Brinkley's last years were marked by anything but the fortune which came with his radio messages to old men and his resultant flourishing business at Milford.

* In 1938, the empire he built on

goat gland operations began to crack when he lost a libel action against the American Medical asso-

ciation. Faced Bankruptcy Bankruptcy proceedings were brought against him last year and

listed assets of $300,000 with which to meet debts and claims totaling $1,600,000. Part of those assets

In the 1920s his income averaged $30,000 a week. A mail fraud charge against him alleged he had treated 16,000 persons at an average fee of $750—a total of $12,000,000: After his license was revoked by the Kansas medical board Dr. Brinkley moved to Del Rio and established a large branch at Little Rock, Ark. changing his rejuvenation technique from gland operation to intravenous injection. Over his border radio. station he drummed up business with hill-billy music and after-midnight speeches.

“No. No, a day,” he said. “You can have a B-3 card. That’s 57 gallons. Enough?” “I don’t think so,” said the young “Not for seven weeks.” “Well, if you run short, come back and we'll try to give you another card.” Two men from ga Cleveland in-
