Nearly 600 employees were idle at the Omar Baking Co.. 901 E. 16th st, today following a strike by local 188 of the Teamsters union. The strike, voted Aug. 6, was called after attempts to negotiate a wage dispute failed, according to company officials. It was reported that the strike vote* was ' put into effect after the company had offered to arbitrate. Officials -said that a wage increase already offered the salesmen-drivers who are members of the union was rejected. They said the average weekly wage now is $82. . In addition to 233 members of the

month for wages in the war period was . October, 1943, when average weekly earnings were $60.54 and the average work week 48.2 hours, The most recent figures for the whole industry are for May, 1045, when the average weekly earnings were $55.60 and the average work week 43.9 hours. There has been a further recession since V-J day. All of the foregoing figures are from the bureau of labor statistics. The C. 1.

DEATH HELD SUICIDE

RHINEBECK, N. Y., Sept. 21.— Dr. Samuel E. Appel, Duchess county medical examiner, has issued a verdict of suicide in the death yesterday of Willlam Seabrook, 61, noted author and explorer. Appel said death was caused by an overdose of sleeping tablets. Seabrook worked on several newspapers, including the New York Times, the Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta Journal, until 1924, when he devoted his time to &xploration and writing. Among his books were “Jungle Rays,” “These

e only certainty about all this is that percentage figures thake a dangerous environment for the layman who wants to form a conclusion. Increase Inevitable The important” fact in the com-= ing wage crisis. is that industry recognizes the inevitability of some wage increases to cushion the deflationary shock that pay envelopes have suffered. While all the shouting has gone on in Detroit, the Studebaker Corp. in South Bend, Ind. has negotiated a 12 per cent hourly raise (about 10 per cent of overail pay) with local officials of he C. 1. O. auto workers,

BRITAIN MAY REDUCE PURCHASES FROM U. S.

LONDON, Sept. 21 (U. P).— Morning newspapers today carried apparently officially inspired dispatches that Britain will cut her purchases from the United States at least in half during the next few months. The reduction will continue until a long-term Anglo-American financial agreement, now under negotia« tion in Washington, has been coms pleted, the dispatches said. A London Daily Herald dispatch from Washington said only food | and other vital supplies will be | shipped from the United States fo

It was some time, they said, before Dewey convinced himself that the Japanese were “foolish enough to continue this code all the way through the war.” It was learned that Marshall's letter requesting Dewey to refrain from using information on Pearl Harbor had been received Sept. 22, 1944, Brownell said that he concurred in Dewey's decision. “In my opinion,” Brownell said, “Governor Dewey acted with great | patriotism and with a degree of courage unparalleled in American public life.” Dewey said that he would be willing to testify before the congres~ sional committee investigating the Pearl: Harbor debacle. : The magazine said that the war department, apparently frightened |after Dewey’s Oklahoma City speech that the Republicans would “spring {the truth about Pearl Harbor” sent (a colonel to Dewey with a letter. |The first paragraph asked Dewey {not to read further unless he would
