Driver Loses Life After Fu- file Rescue Attempts
 Gar Hits Railing,

CLAYTON, Alabama. Oct. 27.- Death today claimed the fifteenth victim of Montgomery Birming- ham bus crash which transformed the interior of the carrier to blazing inferno.
 w. P. Alton, driver of the third section last night on the local run between the two Alabama cities, died of burns resulting from his heroic efforts to rescue the screaming pas sengers.
 Mac Stephens, first man to reach the scene, said Alton died "a hero's death. if man ever did. He came out the front and could have got away without being hurt much. al- though his mouth was cut. Just as I came close, he ran to the safety door at the back and cooked his hands trying to get it open
 The bus struck concrete bridge railing four miles south of here. Almost instantly it burst into mass of flames, the blaze being visible for three miles or more. The fire was blamed on exploding gasoline.

SEATTLE, Oct. 27.-Nearly 4,000 men were forced into idleness today when workers refused to cross picket lines established by striking weld CTS.
 The pickets closed operations at the Pacific Car and Foundry Com pany plants in Benton and Seattle and the Lake Washington Ship yards, Inc, and the Isaacson Iron Works Foundry.
 One of the closed foundry units makes parts for Boeing planes and employs 2,000 men. The shipyards, where 1.500 were affected by the picket line, is engaged mostly on the construction of seaplane tenders. There are 450 employees at the Isaacson plant
 Todd Seattle Dry Docks Inc. and the Seattle Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation plant on Harbor Island and associated shipbuilders con- tinued to operate although picketing demonstrations diverted some men, other than welders, from going to work. F

three plants also were picketed but the company reported all employees at work except three or four.
 The welders, some 2,000 of whom walked off jobs during the past week, decided on increased picket lines last night to enforce demands to the international American Fed eration of Labor for their union. They now number members of many crafts but never have been recog- nized by the AFL as a craft in itself.
 The welders' spokesman said the men hoped the mass picketing will force a decision on the issue so defense production, already hamp- cred by the lack of welders, can be resumed at full speed.

OPPOSE WAGE
BOOSTS FOR
FIELD HANDS
EVERGLADES SUGAR PRO-
DUcERS TAKE MATTER UP
WITH AGRICULTURAL AD-
JUSTMENT BOARD

CLEWISTON, June 25.-FNS)
Everglades sugar producer laid
before the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration this week
their opposition to wage boosts
for workers in the cane fields.
r. Y. Creech, independent cane
farmer, said any increase would
put the farmer out of business.
Jay w. Moran, vice-president
and general manager of the United
States Sugar Corporation, said his
firm, by far the largest producer
in the Everglades, did not oppose
the present wage standards set by
the Secretary OF Agriculture.
But we do feel" he said, "that
the question of higher pay should
be considered in other mainland
producing areas before there is a
revision here"
He referred to the differential
between Louisiana and Florida
minimum standards enforced by
the government.
The producers appeared at a
public hearing called by the AAA
on wage and price standards
which will be applied next season
on growers who receive govern
bent benefits.
Negro field hands said they re-
ceived $1.60 day in the summer
and between So and So during the
cutting season on Corporation
plantations. In addition they told
of living in we'll built comfortable
two and three-room houses fur
nished by the Corporation, with
garden plots for those who wanted
them. Medical care and school
facilities also were provided by
the company, they testified.
Moran testified the average
daily wage paid the field hands
during the cutting season was up
15c over last year, amounting to
an average of $226, plus bonus
determined by market quotations.
Creech, independent grower,
said that the labor situation had
been rendered difficult by the es-
adjustment of a government
migratory workers camp at Belle
Glade.
"The houses the government
built" he said, make the tenant
farmers dissatisfied with the
quarters furnished by independent
producers. In the past go days
farmers have been unable to help
even at SO day with 5000 or
more men idle in the community" >

WOULD RETREAT
into TURKEY
thy Associated Press,

VHICY, June 25.-Permission
of the Turkish government may
be asked within a few days to
allow French soldiers to retreat
into Turkey from Syria. it was
revealed here today.
Reports reaching Vichy told of
Turk troop concentrations along
the Syrian border, evidently to
prevent any exodus of French
soldiers out of Syria.
Informed observers said there
is little likelihood Turkey would
grant a request that the French
be allowed to cross the border,
but that the request probably
will be made.
