Within Few Days

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 5.
(UP)-Trainloads of lettuce
moved out of the Salt River
Valley to eastern markets az
record prices today despite
five-day strike of 1000 packers
broken by return 70 work OF some OF
the strikers and recruiting Of new
labor by shippers.
Dean Stanley, spokesman for the
shippers, said he was confident they
would be able to get operations back
to normal within the next few days
All stock lying in crates in the sheds
since the Strike began was packed
and shipped.
Shipments yesterday totaled 35
cars and were expected to be more
than so carloads today. Under nor
NAL conditions, they should total
between $50 and 200 cars.
LEADERS ADAMANT
Strike leaders continued their re-
fuSal to accept compromise offer
from packers of increased overtime
pay and better working conditions
They demanded a l0-cent-per-hou
wage increase for all workers.
A prediction that no field workers
would report to cut lettuce and put
it in trucks for delivery to packing
sheds was reiterated by the strik-
ers.
Negotiations were resumed without
results between managers of 35 pack
ing sheds and union spokesmen.
Meanwhile, prices OF lettuce sky
rocketed to unprecedented levels

Raid
DetectOrS
BY w. w. CHAPLIN

Init News Service National Defense Exper,
HIGH-LOW:-0 Most people be-
= lieve that there has been a
steady rise in the altitude OF
bombers in the war skies, but this
is only partially true. There is
an almost equally noticeable move
downward. with the approach for
attack being made barely above
the waves.
The reason is simple. The beams
of the radio locators shoot straight
out from the machine and cannot
be made to follow the curve of
the earth. Therefore, il night
bombers fly low enough. they can
come close TO their targets under
the locator beams.
There Is experimentation go
ing on In the A m r C N de-
Tense program to beat this prob
lem, but all news about IL, Is re-
stricted. The solution may turn
out to be something so simple
as raising the radio-locators on
towers or placing them on cliffs
facing the direction Of probable
enemy approach. That would
give the locators a more distant
horizon and they would detect
even wave hoppers farther of.
MO HELP: The National Aero

astounding charge that some trans

flying radio men were not union
members. As most of the Atlantic
skies are a part of the American
defense zones this constitutes de-
tense sabotage as well as being
humanitarian.

even refused information as to
latitude and longitude, to tell them
where they were so they might

Dismissal of Charley Anderson,

Ohio State football squad created
Jurors today as the Buckeyes
opened heavy practice for a tri-
umph over the victorless Pitts
burg Panthers next Saturday.
In the first drastic disciplinary
action since he assumed the coach

Brown annouced dismissal of An
derson in a curt 22-Word written
statement to newspapermen late
yesterday.
The statement said:
For the benefit Of the squad
and the future Welfare of Ohio
State football, Charles Anderson
has been dismissed from the
squad"
Brown would not elaborate on
the statement but it was gener-
ally known that Brown did not
feel that Anderson was putting
out 100 per cent. in his gridiron
efforts this fall.
The dismissal came as jolt to
