more serious cases were taken to
hospitals in nearby Aurora.
Edward Flynn, executive vice
president of the railroad, said the
automatic signal systems had been
functioning properly. The unsched-

made when trouble developed in the
undercarriage of the train, he said.

losses in sales, from the strike, at around $330,000,00
 Losses to strikers are pretty personal, and are measurable di- rectly by dividing the Strike-Won gain into the wages lost while on strike. But losses to industry the harder to pin down. The esti- mates cited, in the case of some major strikes, are of production lost-not of profits Withered away. The profits on this lost business are speculation, and are of little inter est except to the hundreds of thou sands who own corporate stock, and the tens of millions whose bank ac- counts, insurance policies and other forms of savings, are invested in cor poration securities.
 Losses Multiply
 But the losses spread out and are multiplied many-fold. And they go back to little one-horSe strikes that never get into any newspaper ex- cept the hometown journal.
 General Motors, for example, re- ports that since May 18 of this year there have never been less than 55 strikes against firms that supply ma terial and parts for G.M.C. products, and at one time there were 143.
 When material and parts stop coming in, cars GOT other major dur able products) are not made with what is available, and stored to wait for whats missing. The production line stops, and men not on strike are sent home, wageless.
 Before July 1, Cadillac was mak- ing about 300 cars a week. Then strikes cut off seat cushion springs. For three weeks production dropped to 132 cars-an average of A week. Then seat cushion springs started coming, and production went back to 300 8 week.
 The statistics will show very few workers striking in some little plant about which you never heard. But lot of Cadillac workers stopped earning, and dealers all over the country failed to get cars, and 2268

noise and entered his cell at
 10:45 P. M. Tuesday, two hours
 before he was scheduled to be
 hanged.
 Poison Rapid Killer
 Medical evidence regarding the poison was one of the few ascer- tain facts in the strange case.
 ToxicologistS reported that only a grain or two of the poison is re- quired to cause death. Potassium cyanide is one of the swiftest poi sons known. It acts upon the nerve centers and the brain and produces unconSciousness within one minute. It kills within five minutes, or less.
 Thus, there appeared no doubt that Goering had crushed the poison vial between his teeth only a moment or so before the guards attention was attracted. This was borne out by the testimony of Capt. Henry F. Gerecke, prison chaplain, who entered the cell a moment after the guard and found Goering still alive but in his death throes.
 Nothing has been revealed by Nuremberg prison officials as to what means were available, if any, on the cell block floor for revival of prisoners in event of any suicide attempt by poisoning.
 Antidotes Virtually Nil
 However a German physician was on the floor at the moment the guard heard the noise from Goer- ing's cell and entered the cell with sergeant of the prison guard.
 In any event, toXicologists report ed, there probably was nothing to do to prevent death. The only an- tidote, it was said, is methylene blue but it must be injected into the system instantly and even with the quickest possible injection the chances of saving the victim are virtually nil.
 Chemists said that if the capsule in which the cyanide was kept was airtight as presumably was the case, the chemical would keep in- definitely Thus, they reported, the quickness of the death did not pro- vide any clue as to whether the drug was fresh or old, or whether Goering acquired it recently or a long time ago.
 The type of poison vial employed by Goering was well known to AL lied authorities.
 Earlier Capsule Found Hubert Riddle, Columbus, O., for
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-18
By UNITED PRESS

How did Hermann Goering cheat the Allies by taking his own life? Who gave him the potassium cy- anide capsule?
 Where did Goering hide the cap sule?
 How did the former reichsmarsh- al gulp poison under the very eyes of security guard?
 Those questions and dozen others perplexed the world today as mystery story fans puzzled over a solution to one of the biggest in ternational mysteries of recent times.
 At Nuremberg, where a special three-man international inquiry in- to the Goering affair was under way, little light was thrown upon Goering's dramatic suicide. An of- ficial blackout was thrown over the case and correspondents were un- able to obtain more than the meag- crest information.
 Facts Picked Out
 Solid facts picked out of the cloud of speculation included:
 1-Goering obtained from an unknown source a small con- tainer made from a brass cart ridge. Inside the container was tiny glass vial containing an unknown quantity of potassium cyanide, possibly grain or two dissolved in as little as 10 drops of water.
 2-Goering managed to se- crete the capsule over an un- known period-possibly many months, possibly only few days.
 3-Who gave him the capsule was not known. Nuremberg sources appeared inclined to rule out his wife, Emmy, and his lawyer, Dr. Otto Stahmer.
 4-Medical evidence made certain that Goering swallowed the poison only minute or two before the guard watching him heard Goering make a strange

60 Strikers Picket Paper In Portland
 Maritime Union
 Protests Editorial
 Comment on Tieup

Portland, Me, Oct. 18- (UP) = Approximately 60 members of the National Maritime Union (C.I.O0 picketed the plant of the Evening Express and Morning Press Herald today in protest against editorial c omm m nt concerning seamens' strikes. However they failed to halt delivery of newspapers.
 For the first time in AZ years, the afternoon edition of the papers published by the Gannett Publish ing Company could not be delivered yesterday because members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehouse men & Helpers Union (A.F.L) re- fused to violate the picket line.
 After some 1,500 persons had crossed the line to purchase their newspapers, officials of the team Sters' union allowed their members to cross the line.
 Crux of the strike was an article written by Hanson Baldwin of the New York Times criticizing the un1onizatton Of Seamen. The Morn ing Press Herald quoted from the article editorially. Immediately union members protested and de- manded a retraction.
 Instead, the newspaper published the protest letter in its "Voice Of the People" column and wrote an- other editorial on the subject. Pick eting followed.
 This mornings edition of the Press Herald carried front page story of the picketing trouble. How ever, there was no editorial com- ment and no statement by the man. agement.
 After the Baldwin article ap- peared in the Times it's plant was picketed but later was withdrawn when the newspaper agreed to pub- 1iS6 O ,IpiOp cfo Lernnrt

oughly was not specifically revealed by prison officials but there was a suggestion that these examinations may have been cursory in recent weeks due to the fact he had been inspected many times before and had been in custody for IS months. The answer to the puzzler as to how Goering managed to take the poison without attracting the notice of guard who was under instruc- tons never to take his eyes of the prisoner seemed easier to answer.

time. Both Nuremberg experts and physicians were inclined to believe Goering must have kept the cap sule on his person, possibly secret ing it in one of the recesses of the body after the manner which drug addicts sometimes conceal small quantities of morphine or heroin.

 These are some direct costs of strikes, in few typical instances. The indirect costs fan out all over the lot. Reconversion, as whole, has been badly delayed. Prices have been forced up, first to cover higher wage scales and then by the perpetual auction in which consumers compete for inadequate supplies of goods.
