CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. l8.-
(P)-A year ago, Forest 'Nubblns
Hoffman of Cheyenne was a bed
ridden little chap with dreams OF
a Christmas which his parents
feared he would not live to cele-
brate.
Nubbins was dying, his parepts
thought, from an incurable blad-
der ailment. But he wanted to see
Santa Claus and November -
was set as Nubbins' christmas.
In the days before, sympathe-
tic hundreds sent cards, letters,
kilograms, money and gifts, large
and small, modest and expensive.
At least four trees arrived. A TEL
low railroad worker of Nubbins'
father brought a puppy. Soldiers in
Colorado sent handmade toys by
an Army airplane. The modest
Hoffman home was taxed to find
space for them all.
The little boy had dream
Christmas November 10, complete
even to heart-to-heart chat with
Santa. Despite the toy store array
his home had become, Nubbins
preferred his old favorite, bat
tered and worn old Teddy Bear
he called Mamma"
The next day his parents bund-
led him up and drove to Denver

Normal Christmas Now

for one last effort to save his life
He clutched Mamma" during the
110-mile automobile trip.
AS soon as possible, Denver
urologist operated and removed
bladder obstruction. Nubbins raj
lied, improved, leased nurses,
talked about his pup, wore out a
music box gift and wanted to 90
home. A month to the day after
his special Christmas he was
there.
Now, a year from the Ebb Point
he was gained from 10 to 81
pounds, is "doing fine, his mother
joyfully reports, and in many
ways is Gust like any other child
He still is on a diet and has to
90 to Denver for periodic check
ups, but he's alive and has bright
prospects.
Christmas for him this year will
be normal and on December Is.
And Nubbins, four last July. is
thinking about Christmas again
His hearts desire at the moment
is a "Pieanno," an order that
gives his parents pause. For sure
he will get some of the gifts sent
last year, mother Hoffman said.
He never did see. them all.
cts wonderful to look forward
to a normal Christmas" she said.
II don't know what We'll do yet.
But we have Nubbins.''

UAW-CM WAGE WAR
NEARING CLIMAX

DETROIT, Nov. 18-P)- The
wage fight between General Motors
Corp. and the CLOS United Auto
Workers Union moved toward an
other climax tonight.
Turned down repeatedly in its de-
mand for a 30 per cent wage rate
increase, the union marshaled its
GIN rank and file leadership for
decisions and counsel on immediate
future action.
There was no basis for belief the
UAW-CIO would issue an early
strike call to its $4,000 General
Mortos employes-members even
though agreement on the wage is
sue seemed nowhere in sight.
It was safe to say, however, that
both GIN and the union waited ex-
pectantly on the outcome OF a
special two-day assembly of UAW-
CLIO representatives starting here
tomorrow. Some 200 local repre-
sentatives from coast to coast were
called.
The session was ordered for
report from UAW-C1O negotiators
headed by Vice President Walter
P. Reuther who for many weeks
have tussled vainly over the con-
ference table with officials Of the
Corporation.
It prepared to assemble as Presi-
dent R. J. Thomas asked COM
plete and orderly discipline" Of all
union members in event a strike
were ordered.
On the other hand, both General
Motors and the union said negotla-
tons would resume, perhaps this
week. They were recessed last
week after the union rejected an
other in a series of GM counter
offers-this one a ten per cent
increase combined with a proposed
Is to 4S-hour week at overtime
beyond 40 hours.
Statements from union officials
on the eve of their conference with
local representatives included re-
mark by Reuther that neither l
nor anyone else knows when a
strike will be called-if at ALL"
The unionists engaged reserva-
tons in a downtown hotel for their
session, which begins at 1 p. m.
(EST. The meeting will be behind
closed doors.
Indicative of the attention focus
ed on the meeting was the setting
up of a press room by the unions
public relations office.
Participants in the conference
will include the UAW-CIO's
strike strategy committee empow-
cred by the unions executive
board to order warkouts in the auto
industrdy's "big three"-General
Motors, Ford and Chrysler.
President Thomas, who heads
the committee, said in an article
in the current issue Of the union
newspaper that God knows the
top leadership of the TAW-CIO has
neither sought nor wanted" a
strike.
Thomas said managerial eli
. que" in General Motors sis, in eff
feet, forcing costly and terrible
strike upon US" 1t was in this
article that Thomas asked "com-
plete and orderly discipline" from
union members if a strike were
called.
Il General Motors, Chrysler and
Ford all have insisted that a wage
increase would necessarily mean
an increase in the price of auto
mobiles under present materials
costs, CPA price structures and
other conditions.
George Romney, general manag-
err Of the Automobile Manufa cturers
Association, charged in a state
ment that the UAW-CIO was a
monopoly" that sought to control
the companies of the industry and
with the aid of a partisan govern
ment run this giant auto combine. -

Pullman Lost and Found DEBT.
Goes About in Owner Search

ficult in the case Of servicemen
who have to be traced to lands
across the seas and the recover
ed articles are often delivered
to them in the front lines In Eu.
rope of the farthest reaches OF
the Pacific.
TRACED BY OLD SALES SLIP
F. r. Callahan, general man.
ager, cites the case Of q soldier
who left an electric shaver on a
train going to Minneapolis. The
only clue was q 10-year-old sales
slip by which the owner was
traced from Minneapolis to Spo-
kane and thence to France
where he was serving with the
invasion forces.
Owners Of lost articles have
been traced to the South Pacific
islands. Alaska and Iceland. The
department never gives up until
1t has exhausted every clue.
Callahan said that civilians
lose everything from eyeglasses
to snowshoes and In most cases
their losses are more spectacu-
lar than those Of service people.

FOR example," Callahan said
there was the woman who lost
u bag containing SIPS. 900 worth
Of jewels. She and her husband
were travelling from Boston to
New York. After leaving the
train. she discovered that she
had left a little green bag con-
tanning the jewels beside her
seat. She notified the Pullman
company which telephoned to
points ahead on the train s
schedule. The bag was found
by a porter at Philadelphia and
1t was sealed and returned to
New York on the next train"
500, 1000 RING LOST
Another porter found a $780,.
600 diamond ring in a wash
room aboard a train between
Atlanta and Macon, Ga. He
turned 1t in Immediately and
the owner soon claimed it. CAL
lahan said porters display ex-
emplary honesty and day after
day turn in wallets containing
from a few dollars to thousands
of dollars.
Travelling agents of the COM
pany frequently travel halfway
across the continent pursuing
an owner of lost property or
one who mistakenly exchanged
it for another parcel. Prolonged
searches, sometimes taking up
to two years, are characteristic
of the diligence with which the
company performs this unusual
service.
Pullman officials say passen-
ger losses may be minimized II
they will put Identification on
easily mislaid items such as eye
glass cases, keys, watches and
wallets and put names and adj
dresses on both inside and out
side of all luggage and parcels.

CHICAGO - W.H- q. i. Joe,

The company checks its cars

reached the highest peak in his

Cpl. 6. Worden
Cited As Hero
Wins Bronze Stor
on Germon Front

EAST DETROIT-Cpl. George
r. Worden, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Worden, of 1880 Couwlier
street, has been awarded the
Bronze Star Medal for heroism
in action Dec. 20, 1914 while
serving with the 928th Field Ar
tillery Battalion in Germany.
During the heavy fighting In
the mountainous region near b.
benthal, Germany, the position
of the U. S. troops became ex-
tremely dangerous and an i'm
mediate withdrawal from that
area was necessary. The success
of this withdrawal depended on
heavy artillery support from be-
hind the lines.
Cpl. Worden. a wireman with
an artillery liaison officer and
another soldier was to lay .
communication line to a forward
artillery observer. When his
comrade was delayed during a
reconnaissance, he began to lay
the wire unassisted. Although
an intense enemy mortar bar
rage was concentrated in this vi
cinity he brought the line for
ward and established the impor-
tant communications.
Later the severity of the en-
envy fire cut the line and Wor-
den, with little regard for his
own personal welfare, went into
the mortar infested area, found
the break and successfully re-
paired the line.
Because of his heroism while
under harassing conditions, ar
tillery fire was laid successfully
in support of United States
troops withdrawal, the citation
reads.

De|ay.5entente
in Death Case
Appeal Nay Be Asked
from Conviction

A new trial may be sough!
for Casmer Jankowski, 28-year-
old Roseville war worker, who
was convicted last week by a
Circuit Court jury in Judge AL
ton H. Noes court of negligent
homicide arising from the death
of Chester Replinski, 16, in an
auto collision at Nine Mile and
Hoover roads, Warren Town
ship, Oct. "a.
Counsel for Jankowski on
Saturday appeared before Judge
Noe at the time set for sentenc-
ing Jankowski and successfully
made a motion for a weeks de-
day. No explanation for the de.
lay was made in court, and since
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Fred
Van Fleteren interposed no OBJ
lection to the delay, it was
granted.
Later, a defense counsel said
they sought time to study the
record of the trial to determine
whether or not they could find
sufficient basis for a new trial
motion.
Three other warrants are also
on file in the case against Jan
kowski, although he was tried
specifically on the one case.
What action will be taken on
these warrants has not been in
dictated.
Defense counsel said they
will make their plans known in
court Saturday.
