Farmer Dies in
Automobile Crash

Oscar Propp, 46. farmer of the
Calipatria area. died Tuesday from
injuries suffered Friday night when
his car went out of control on the
Vail Lateral No. road six miles
north of Calipatria.
He was found beside his demolish-
&c automobile which was bottom
side up in the road. Henry Gibson,
foreman for l.. E. Sinclair, found
Propp and notified officials.
After an investigation Highway
Patrolman Walter Walsh said Propp
apparently was travelling at high
rate of speed when his car struck
rise in the road at the intersection
of the lateral road and the North
End school road. The car then
sailed through the air for 27 feet,
struck the ground, careened along
the road for 454 feet, struck a
canal bank, and sailed through the
air for another 70 feet before crash
ing down on its top, the officer
said. Propp was thrown from the
car and was found 70 feet from the
car. He died in the county hospital
in Ell Centre at 1912 a. m. Tuesday.

War Production

DETROIT, June Is. (UP)
"A strike of about 100 truck
drivers at the Dodge main
plant today crippled Chrys-
Ter corporations inter-plant
transportation system and, accord
ing to company spokesman,
threatened to paralyze all the COM
pany's war work" in the Detroit
area.
Robert w. Conder, Chrysler labor
relations director, telegraphed r.
j. Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers tCIO) and
other union officials, urging that
they order the men to return to
work Immediately"
DRIVER DISCIPLINED
Conder said the drivers struck
because the management imposed
discipline on a driver who yester-
day refused to assist in unloading
truck, which has always been a
part of his job" He said the strikers
have not submitted the grievance
to regular bargaining procedure.
A company spokesman declared
Chrysler's war production will be
halted within "a short time" unless
the inter-plant transportation sys-
tenn is established. He said all
of the firms Detroit plants depend
upon each other for their different
war jobs"
