Oddities In 7he Ne1Us

Boston, July 3 - U.P. - Eight year-old Beverly Greeley of Jam- aica Plain became so absorbed in the movie "Counter-Attack" at downtown theater yesterday that
 she wedged her left hand between two seats and police had to be call ed to help her extricate it.
 Said Beverly: "I had to hold on tight to keep from being scared"
 Portsmouth, N. H., July 3-(UP) "A chance blow by civilian workl CTS hammer today was credited for the discovery of a $5,000.00 cache of mercury and other valuables aboard the captured Nazi submarine U-234.
 Navy authorities revealed yester- day that the flasks containing mer- cury were discovered when work CTS hammer changed against one of the containers. The mercury had been hidden SO effectively in mine wells amidships that Navy search CTS had not found it. The Navy said that the mercury probably was bound for Japan to alleviate that country's shortage of alloys.
 Other minewells. which might contain plans and other informa- tion, were shipped to Washington for expert examination.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRAM AIDS
 HANDICAPPED

Minneapolis, July 3.--(UP)-The vocational rehabilitation department of Minneapolis public schools in cooperation with the state depart fnent of education announced that FOO disabled Minneapolis youths be- tween the ages of 16 and 21 have received treatment, guidance and training during the past year in arl- effort to recapture the important human resource - working useful ness.
 Disabilities ranging from ampu- taticns, heart trouble, infantile paralysis and even emotional in- stability are no longer considered handicaps to these people.
 David Desinorey is prize ex- ample of the work this year-old program has undertaken.
 Desmorey lost both legs in a railroad accident three years ago, which caused afnputation of both legs too high for use of artificial limbs.
 At present, Desmorey, having completed a period of employment training, during which the state reimbursed his employer, now is in line for a pay increase as a leather worker and delivery boy at the Minneapolis Artificial Limb co.
 He Is perched on a scooter with a platform resembling an ordinary chair seat, which is fitted with a cushion and a leather strap that goes around his body.
 He propels himself with two short hand "crutches" almost as rapidly as the average person can run and can also go up and down steps and drive a car.
 When a case is discovered, medi- cal diagnosis is given and efforts are immediately begun to restore the individual as nearly as pos- sible to normal living and working conditions.
 Tn many cases, occupational tnerapy is used in the cure.
 Students who display college abilities and interests may obtain from the state and fedaral gov- ernment, four years of college tuition to any Minnesota school.
 No case is closed until the dis ebled person is fitted with a place of employment.

Citrus Fruits
 Shortage Seen

Los Angeles, July 3-(UP)-The United States and Canada face a serious shortage of citrus fruits, the California fruit growers exchange warned today, unless the interstate commerce commission lifts embar- goes of shipment of California-Ar- izona citrus fruit.
 Exchange general manager Paul s. Armstrong said the ICC had halted all shipments of fruit for military as well sa civilian markets for two straight weeks in an at- tempt to relieve congestion in vest ern rail yards.
 California growers, who produce during the summer months all the citrus fruit consumed in the U. S. and Canade, have enough fruit to supply all markets if it can be ship ped and are setting volume records on the days shipments are allowed, Armstrong said.

25,O00 Tire Workers Idle
(By United Press)

Akron, O., headquarters of the na- tion's rubber industry, was the cen- ter of the nations strike picture to- day. More than half of the coun- try'O 50,000 striking workers were away from their jobs at the Fire stone and Goodyear tire and rubber companies in Akron.
 Despite threats of loss of draft deferments and cherished union contract provisions, approximately B3,O00 CIO United Rubber Workers remained on strike.
 With two major companies strike bound and two others - Goodrich and General Tire and Rubber - closed for repairs, Akron's rubber production was at a virtual stand still for the first time in 75 years.
 In another rubber production dis pute, the War Labor Board stepped into work stoppage of HOO work CTS at the Ohio Rubber Company, Willoughby, O.
 Other strikes were scattered over the eastern half of the country. At Allentown, Pa, some 5000 Mack Manufacturing Company employees remained out for the fifth day in support of 4,900 striking employees at the company's Plainfleld, and New Brunswick, N. J., plants.
 Representatives of 1,700 AFL machinists conferred with WLB, Army and Navy officials in an effort to resume production at the Wauke- sha Motors Company, Waukesha, Wis, while other striking machin- lsts curtailed operations at the Cameron Iron Works in Houston, Tex.
 News-hungry New Workers lined up for their newspapers again today as members of the Independent Newspaper Deliveryman's Union continued strike over proposed contract provisions.
 Of more than a dozen newspapers affected by the strike, all but two continued publication although press runs were reduced and several editions eliminated. The New York Post and the Bronx Home News suspended publication pending set- clement of the dispute.
 A protest against a VILE decision kept 800 workers away from their jobs at the Allenport, Pa, Pitts burgh Steel plant, and 2.600 Pitts burgh Plae Glass Company workers were out at Ford City, Pa.
 Transit disputes made $50 idle. Some 400 CIO workers tied up in- terurban and street car service in a 100-mile radius of Dallas, Tex, and Dixie Greyhound bus operations in Memphis, Tenn. were cut in half by c four-day-old walkout of l50 drivers.
 Work was resumed at the Texas Company's Uort Arthur, Tex, plant while an intermittent walkout con- tinued at the Northern Indiana Brass Company, Elkhart. Ind, and e7 grain weighers left their jobs at St. Paul, Minn., in perenniel sum- : rner strike for more pay.

In thinking about work after the war. don't overlook
the 100000 miles Of steel Highways which the rail-
roads have built and maintain at their own expense.
These Highways provide Jobs for more than quarter
OF million men working construction and naante-
nance Of tracks and roadwaY-jobs for more than
million other railroad workers - besides other thou
sands in mines. mills and forests where roadway
materials and supplies are produced.
More than that-the railroads pay real taxes on
these Highways" not for their own special benefit

roads spent more than four billion dollars for improve

So there's another highway program which could

than ever moved before anywhere by any
means Of transport. In 1914. the railroads hauled
nearly three times as much inter-citY freight. and
nine times as much war freight. as all other
carriers combined. That is one Of the great les
sons to come out of the war. And one of the
things to remember after the war is won Is that
America needs and must have the
kind Of transportation which only its
railroads can deliver. 4

 T/Sgt. Boucher is a veteran of four and a half years service with an AAF ground crew. He spent about two years of that time in Europe, and while he was there he met and married one of those pretty British girls you've read of in the papers.
 He's also the father of baby girl, and he'd like to see that pretty wife and baby of his-so, the best thing he could think of in or der to fulfill the hope of seeing them, was to re-enlist. That's ex- actly what he did few days ago; and he's on his way.
 T/Sgt. Boucher was so anxious to get to England that he decided to pass up a 9O-day furlough with pay, to which he was entitled under the Army's new recruiting program. He signed up for a three year enlist ment, told the recruiter that he wanted to serve in the ETO-the sooner the better and said that he's take that 90-day furlough in England with his wife and daugh- ter. That's all I want" said Boucher. Just let me sign the papers and send me on my way"
