Delegates to Keep War Pact.

—Continued adherence to the “no strike” pledge by the biggest labor union in the world was still in doubt here today as the C. I. O. United
third day. In what is believed to be the first time since he became president of the C. I. O. Philip Murray was booed as he spoke from the convention platform. The booes, outweighed by the applause, came as Mr. Murray made his first reference to the pledge, given President Roosevelt 10 days after Pearl Har-

A majority report calls for continuation of the pledge for the duration of the war, with the proviso that upon termination of hostilities with Germany, the executive boards of the auto workers and of the entire C.

Both of the pictures on Page {"1 of The- Times. are the same man—Adolf Hitler; They demonstrate the none-too-fantastic possibility that Hitler, attempting to escape allied punishment as the No. 1 war criminal, may disguise ‘himself and flee unrecognized to some other country or continent. Thé original photographs above are in the same relative tion as the two on Page 1,*which were “disguised”. by anh artist. Elimination of the mustache, of course, is the essential change. In the top picture on Page 1 he has no mustache and is wearing glasses; below, no mustache and the lock of hair combed back. If Hitler should use this means to escape vengeance, would you recognize him in a crowd?

"POLICE DELAY |
Asks Speedy Action Against " Adults i in Child Delinquency - Cases.
Speedier police action in levying charges against persons suspected of contributing .to the delinquency of minors was demanded today by Juvenile Court Judge Mark Rhoads. | Deploring the fact- that police delay in officially accusing aduits of . | contributing to delinquency often necessitates the lengthy imprison {ment of youths held as material witnesses, Judge Rhoads declared: _| “This court has time and time again tried to have a policy on the matter established by the police, but to no avail, “The way it works now,” continued Judge Rhoads, “ordinarily it is necessary to keep boys in jail in order to make them available to testify agdinst adults who induce them into crime. “It further develops that the adult is freed on bond, through technicalites is released by criminal court while the boys bear the brunt of the whole business.” ‘The judge criticized as “bad child psychology” the practice of releasing adults on bond while children are jailed as material witnesses. He pointed out that the immediate imposition of delinquency contribution charges would enable his court to

MATTOON, m, Sept. 13 (u. P.).~—Police today buried the mythical “Madman of Mattoon” in an equally mythical cemetery after branding the phantom who has terrorized this city for two weeks as a hoax. The mysterious “gardenia gas” that “paralyzed” his victims was only. carbon tetrachloride fumes from a nearby war
Police Commissioner Thomas V, ‘Wright and Capt. Harry Curtis, head ‘of the state police, called in to aid in the capture of the “phantom,” said that after checking and re-checking the stories of they were convinced he was non-existent.
MATTOON, HOWEVER, refused to let the mysterious anesthetist die so ignominous a death and the mass hysteria was turned to indignation against police officials who refused to believe the stories of the mysterious attacks. William Kidwell, state’s attorney of Coles county and a resi“Why, 60 to 75 feet across the street from that war plant are houses where the residents aren't bothered by the. fumes. The plant has been using a cleaning substance (carbon tetrachloride) on gun shells

The reports spread rapidly until a total of 35 persons claimed they had been attacked. All reported the same effects from breathing the gas. They became ill to their stomachs and were partial ly paralyzed until the effects wore
