Strike Vote

gan. i.
Martin ODell, president OF
Local 223, said "either a par
tial or total shutdown would re-
suit in a disastrous effect on
war production in 13 counties.
A company statement, assert
ing that all efforts at peaceful
solution of the dispute had not
been exhausted, said that a
strike cannot but aid the enc
my's morale.
Company and union have been
negotiating since last June on
renewal of a working contract.
In petitioning for the strike
vote under the War Labor Dis
putes Act the union asserted
that 80 issues remained unset
tied. The issues included CLASH
fication of jobs, occupational
descriptions, holiday pay, ex-
tension of vacation plans, vaca-
ton pay and pay schedules.
Concilators who met with
both parties in an effort to set
tie the differences finally certi-
fled the case 10 the War Labor
Board for a hearing and decis-
ion.
The petition TO hold the strike
vote was filed on Jan. /. and as
required under the Smith-Co
nally Act, the employees had to
wait 30 days, generally termed
a Cooling off, period while
further efforts at settlement
were made. No agreement was
reached and the strike vote was
taken yesterday.
THE vote does not necessarily
mean a strike. We believe that
the union and our employees
recognize that any interruption
of power will hurt their cause
and do some irreparable damage
to the community, to the record
of all civilian war workers and
TO the confidence of the men
overseas" James w. Parker,
president of the Detroit Edison
Company. said today.
"This dispute was certified to
the War Labor Board on January
% which is now responsible for
its prompt handling. We will
use every reasonable means to
avoid any service interruption"
the utility executive added.

three-year- wounds that they
could not walk when they were
cut loose from japanese bond
age.
The rescue cost the lives OF 81
Rangers and Filipinos in a guer-
rilla unit led by Maj. Robert
Lapham Of Davenport. Ia. who
fought off savage nk-led Jap
anese attack along the escape
corridor.
The raiders killed 523 Jap
anese - more than one for
every prisoner released - and
knocked out II enemy tanks.
This first mass liberation of
Allied prisoners of war in the
western Pacific was accomplish
ed by an all-night forced march
east of the American lines to
Cabu.
The Commando force, made up
of the l21 Rangers and 286 Fill
pinos in the guerrilla unit, left
American lines under protection
Of air cover and reached the
prison camp without detection.
Their swift, fierce a I t k
caught the guards completely by
surprise The Japanese struck
back violently and persistently
as the rescue column headed
back toward the Sixth Ranger
camp and freedom for the val
liant men who had been at the
mercy of Japanese guards for
nearly three years.
The heavy, disproportionate
japanese losses were inflicted in
battering down these tank-led at
tacks.
The Commando raid, ordered
on short notice when intelli-
gence reports disclosed the
whereabouts of the camp, was
such a success that General Mac
Arthur decorated every man in
the force.

Mrs. Gibbons first word OF her
husbands rescue came in a tele-

heard this morning that some
United States soldiers had been
rescued from a prison camp,

life was a civil engineer.
In July, l94l, 1t. Gibbon was
sent TO the Philippines, serving
with the 59th Coast Artillery at
Fort Mills. He is now 35 years
old.
Mrs. Gibbon said the typewrit-
ten card she received year ago
had stated her husband was at
Camp No. 2, Davao. She added
Il did not know whether he was
still at the camp, whether he had
been taken to Japan, or whether
he was on the shipload of Ameri-
can prisoners that was tor
pedoed.
Such fears are behind Mrs.
Gibbon now. She FASTENED TO

The case. formally entitled the

First and Third Army laid q
barrage on the Notifications
along a 4O-mile sector opposite
Belgium and Luxembourg. The
heaviest enemy resistance was
limited strictly to small arms
and accurate mortar screening.
Troops frankly were amazed at
the complete lack Of artillery
and, in most cases. the enemy's
reluctance to stand and fight.
"The absence of strong Ger
man reaction suggested the pos
sibility that the Germans have
jerked everything farther back"
AP Correspondent E. d. Ball re-
ported from the First Army
sector.
THIN DEFENSES
Allied planes spotted heavy
German rail movements east

Mannheim and through He'll

At Field Marshal Montgom-

thanks to the prompt action OF
Prosecutor Wilbur +. Held.
The mother, Held said, first
appealed to him Wednesday
when she found that Mrs. Cath
crime Guyley, of 238l6 Marlin
street, Van Dyke, would not re-
lease her pretty daughter, Shir-
ley Ann, unless Mrs. Maurer paid
up a board bill for the young
ster's care which had accumu-
lated since Nov. 7, 1914.
Held said that he asked War
rem township officers TO investi-
gate the case and learned that
the Guyleys were standing firm
on their determination to hold
the child. The prosecutor then
ordered Mr.. and Mrs. Guyley to
appear, with the child, in his
office this morning.
At 10 am. the Guyleys and
Shirley Ann entered Helds Of
flee and, 10 minutes later, Mrs.
Maurer, in tears, was cuddling
the child she had tried for weeks
to regain. ~
According to Held the Guy
legs agreed, about SIX months
ago, to care for Shirley Ann for
payment of SIS weekly and that
they had received such payment
until Nov. 7. The mother, who is
separated from her war worker
husband, told Held that she had
been unable to continue pay
ments and that II want my baby
back"
The Guyleys, Held said. agreed
TO return the child today and
must now rely upon civil action
against the father to recover the
sum claimed by them.

A-Under the state law OF
California a male must be u

his parents consent. The COM
manding officer in continental
United States does not have the
right to give his consent to the
marriage, as this right Is held

A-The same factors would
determine his point score as de-
termines the point score for men
that have had combat or over
seas duty. Since he would not
have points for overseas duty or
for combat decorations his point
score would thereby be lower
and would probably not be high
enough to make his eligible for

When Ike stepped out that rostrum that crowd

roared themselves past violet heiotrope and blue

And what do you think they were yelling for? Some

O'Mahoney later and said
II understand the O'Ma-

II worked better than I
dreamed. Retorted Senator
OMahoney:
The O'MshoneyS have never
taken the kings shilling. OF
course, 1 will admit that the
duke didn't offer me o shilling,
but you know what I mean"
Senator O'Mahoney said he
feels the same way as his
father.
my father" he explained.

knew an Englishmsn whom he
didn't love or British govern
ment he could tolerate"
II seems that the O'Mahoneys
originally came from an Irish
county named Cork, which is
quite an Irish locality. The sem
ator's father, the late Dennis
OMahoney, fought through our
Civil War with the 2Sth MasSa-
chusettS Volunteers, but re-
turned 10 Ireland just in time TO
horn into the Fenian uprising.
"It seems he joined the losing
side" continued the senator.
Anyway, the British tossed him
In Jail. But he didn't like 1t
there, so ne escaped, and made
his way back to the United
States"
The senator said il was Moth
ing particularly novel for an
O'Mahoney to be in "A British
jug because they were forever
doing things to irk the English.
MY cestor, Dermott
O'Mahoney, even got In bad with
Queen Elizabeth" he said. "She
had him run of his own prem
ises, the Castle Mahon."

was doing fraternizing with the
duke. considering his folks had
had so much trouble with the
royal family.
"Oh." he replied blandly. I'm
always glad to meet an exile"
by tho way" / asked the
senator, "whst does the name
'O'Mahoney' mean?"
I'm glad you asked that" he
said, because II gives me q
chance 10 work In q plug for my
state. O'Mahoney means the big
black bear Of the plains And I
