Strike Slated 10 Halt
Delivery Of New York
Papers at Midnight
BY the Associated Press.

| Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Leaders
Of the Newspaper and Mail Deliver
ers' Union, armed by an overwhelm-
ing strike mandate from its rank
and file, moved today to halt distri-
button at midnight of II metropoli-
tan daily newspapers with COM
bined Sunday circulation of more
than 100000.
The unaffiliated unions decision
to cease distribution was announced
after the members voted last night,
l,64S to Al, to strike.
Hope for possible settlement was
dimmed when representatives of the
union failed to appear at a meeting
celled this morning by the Publish
ers' Association.
IF the strike occurs, the papers
plan to print Monday morning and
afternoon editions, but will make no
effort to distribute them," the as
ISOLATION said In a statement,
adding:
Copies will be available to the
public at the plants of the individual
papers. This was the procedure fol-
lowed by the publishers when the
same union struck in December,
1912"
Chief issues in the dispute are
union demands for wage increases,
vacation with pay, severance pay,
sick leave, establishment of a welfare
fund, and a specified number of
holidays with pay.
The War Labor Board, however,
in last-minute effort to avert a
strike contended that terms of the
contract were extended by the WLB
last June IA.
The 'wLB Nate yesterday tele-
graphed union officials that "a
strike will violate labor's no-strike
pledge"
Affected would be the New York
Daily News, Daily Mirror, Herald
Tribune, Journal-American, Post
Sun, Times, Wall Street Journal
World-Telegram, Brooklyn Citizen
and Long Island Star journal.
Weekday circulation involved is
more than 100000.
THE men are going out at the
termination Of the contract" DOM
mick Alvina, union official, said.
We've been after the publishers Or
three months and at the last minute
they offered us vacations and six
holidays. There's no clause in the
contract that calls for its extension"

Thorough Discussion
|0f Succession Bill
Expected in Senate
~ the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The fast pace set by the House IN
showing through legislation to make
its presiding officer next in line for
the presidency is due for Senate
showdown.
This was plain today because Of
Senate preoccupation with interna-
tional relations and q disposition to
study out the succession problem
thoroughly.
Lusty cheers for veteran Speaker
Rayburn accompanied House voice
approval late yesterday of the meas
ure to make Mr.. Rayburn the
designated successor of President
Truman. Under present law it is
the Secretary Of State, but only 10
days earlier Mr.. Truman asked Con-
gress to put the Speaker ahead.
Some Senators Oppose Idea.
Some Senate Democrats are re-
ported cool to the idea for fear a
Republican victory In the 1946 con-
gressional elections could have
Republican become House presiding
omcer with first claim to the pres
idency in event Mr.. Truman did not
serve out his term.
The ranking member of the Elec-
tions Committee, Senator Bridges.
Republican, of New Hampshire, has
, called for prompt action before
President Truman leaves for the Big
Three meeting in Germany. Sena-
tor Tydings, Democrat, Of Mary
land favors the plan but says it
should be considered carefully.
Hope for Summer Vacation.
However, the Senate Is prepared
to put everything aside during con-
sideration Of the United Nations
Charter and hopes after ratification
that members can get away for de-
layed summer vacations.
The House-approved proposal puts
the Speaker ahead of cabinet mem
bers in case the country is left with
out a President or Vice President.
Mr.. Truman asked that the Speaker
serve only until special presiden-
tial election could be held. But the
House voted against that, contend
ing such a proviso would violate the
constitutional requirement that a
President be elected for four years.

HAT MAN
A 0.Sec0ssd Closeup

TEXAN. Byer Rolnick is big-city
boy who made good in small town
and then went on to make better in
the big city.
He makes hats for big shots, espe-
cially movie stars such as Gary
Cooper, Enrol Flynn, Dennis Morgan,
Jimmy Cagney. Mayor La Guardia
also wears one of his hats. And 50 do
many New York headwaiters.
That's why Rolnick, whose home
and factory are in Garland. Texas,
can always get table in the most
crowded night club in New York, or
seats for any Broadway hit show.
Byer Rolnick made the Texas white
hat famous. It's seen in every corner
of the globe, marks Texan wherever
he goes.
Avila Camacho, President of
Mexico, makes an annual visit to
ROlnick's plant tor complete hat
wardrobe. Rolnick is right now finish
ing a hat for the Deputy Prime
Minister of Australia.
BUSY MAN. Rolnick hates to leave
his ranch home outside of Dallas, but
once he gets to New York, he's the
busiest man in the city. His tape
measure is out all day as newspaper
men, actors and men-about-town
drop in. All new acquaintance get
their heads measured at once. A week
later, a hat drops in on them. The
hats have a western swing but are
conventional. in design. Mayor La

Guardia's hat, however, is a modified
1O-gallon sombrero.
The basis for success of hats, says
Rolnick, is the instructive desire of all
men to develop comfortable slouch
in them. He has provided for this in
stinct by building self-conforming
bands inside the hats.
Rolnick came to Texas Is years
ago, a country boy from New York
City. His circle of friends is tremen-
dous. He likes nothing better than to

and politically - like its physical counter

Bitter experience has taught Missourians
that it is disastrous to permit either radi-
