THREE. At Gridley, Ill, railroad guards shot and killed two pickets who were attempting to prevent the movement of a freight train over the strikebound Toledo, Peoria & Western railroad lines. FOUR. Eighteen thousand members of District 33, United Steel Workers of America (C. I. O.) decided to join the nation-wide steel strike at 12:01 a. m. Friday, 24 hours after the expiration of the cooling off period required by Minnesota state law. ' FIVE: Federal Labor Mediator James F. Dewey said a steel strike settlement probably would lead to an agreement between General Motors Corp. and 175,000 striking C. I. O. United Auto Workers. Emergency in New York: Spurred by a critical fuel shortage, Mayor William O'Dwyer declared a state of emergency in New York City yesterday. The office of defense transportation prepared to man the strikebound tughoats with army and navy personnel and civilian recruits. Mayor O'Dwyer ordered all schools in ‘New York City closed indefinitely at the end of classes today to conserve fuel, ’ Thousands of buildings in the city already were without heat and many thousands more were faced

Someone’s trying to get you - through-a mediym.” Almost as distraught as his wife, the “victim's” husband told how he'd been awakened at night and had to use his healing powers to “overpower” the “snake and bear.” . A “white art” cure to oyerpow the “spell” involves a 7-day ritual of boiling ‘water with a penny in it and encircling the outside of the house twice, once with a milk substance and once with a fish substance.

- “ » THE MILK is supposed to attract the snake and the fish smell is intended to catch the bear. If everything clicks according to schedule, the two will get so interested in chasing the smell around the house looking for a fish or a quart of milk that they'll forget all about the work they're ‘supposed to be doing, namely “hexing.” Hence, the “black arts victim” will be “de-hexed.” : After learning how many suckers are being taken in by “black art” operations in Indianapolis, the near-participant in a “death candle hexing” wrote a ‘letter exposing one distributor of “hlack

In Illinois state police were ordered into the Gridley area to restore order after yesterday's violence. They arrested four railroad guards and took them to the county Jail in Bloomington, Ill. Three wounded pickets were taken to nearby hospitals. 3 The shooting climaxed a bitter battle between the railroad and two railroad brotherhoods over certain changes in working rules.

Advertising by retailers, dealers or wholesalers over the radio would be prohibited under the proposed amendments. Reason for the radio prohibition, commission members indicated, was the objection of many people to the introduction into homes of radio build-up for liquors. These objectors ¢ontend that newspaper and magazine advertising is less objectionable because it is less obtrusive.
