railmen proud to be members of the trade union movement.
 School of Hard Knocks
 There were no laws then to pro- tect the right of workers to organ ize. Discharge for union activity were common and blackliSts were widespread, Knight recalled.
 Tt was an uphill fight all the way. but it was an exciting time" he said. ''I feel that the young men of today who didn't go through those struggles missed something"
 When he started working with tools back in the EOS on the Wabash Railroad, he was paid 10 cents an hour. That was for work during summers while he still attended high school. Hours then were Il a day in the shops, F in the yards. One hour of that was supposed to be time off, for dinner, but the men were usually required to work part of the hour at no pay. Shortly after the turn of the cen- tury, when he joined the Brother hood, he got the "munificent" rate of 171s cents an hour on the Bur- lington. And when he left that road in 1912 to go on the staff of the union. he was earning 2372 cents-"that was the top rate in the Burlington shops"
 No Overtime Rates Even then hours were still 10 and II a day, "there was no time and half for overtime" Knight pointed out.
 "We had no such thing as sen- iority either" he reminisced. "When it came to layoffs, those who had managed to get on the good side of foremen stayed on, and others were let go."
 When he joined the Brother
 hood back in 1902, it had a bare 5000 members, and not a
 single written agreement with any railroad. It was trying to
 get enough money together to
 send one organizer into the
 field.
 AS an illustration of what unions were up against in those days, Knight told of dramatic incident in 1914, when he was sent by the Railway Employees Department to
Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-12-21

President Harry w. Fraser of the Conductors, one of the oldest of the unions on the ''Iron Horse" pre- sided and paid beautiful tribute to Knights lifetime of service to the Carmen and the whole labor movement.
 There were other glowing words of praise-from President William Green of the A. F. of L.; from "Jim" Burns, secretary-treasurer of the Railway Employees Depart ment, who had worked with Knight in the early days; from President E. E. Milliman of the Waymen and from Edward Heating, editor and manager of LABOR.
 Always Elected Unanimously
 They told many an episode about the life of this veteran union chief tain who, though he never sought an office and never asked anyone to vote for him, nonetheless held official positions in the Brotherhood during A of his 45 years of mem- berShip, and was always elected by exclamation.
 After they had finished, Knight was called upon to speak. For a few moments he was overcome with emotion, but finally was able to voice his gratitude.
 Then he went ahead to tell a thrilling story of what unionists in the old days were up againSt-a story that would have made young

help avert a threatened strike of shopmen on the New Haven. Knight was assistant president of the Carmen by then.
 stubborn As 8 Mule" A few of the employees in the Rockville shops of the New Haven had joined an outlaw organization and staged a strike. Other shop men prepared to go out, too. Knight was rushed to the scene. The roads top-notch officials didn't recognize" unions and didn't speak to union chiefs.
 Knight, a handsome youngster with a pleasing manner, decided he must see the mechanical super ] intendent. But the boss secretary refused to let him in. Knight re- fused to be sidetracked. He brushed past the secretary.
 The latter cried, "You cant do thatr' "The HI can't" Knight fired back and kept going. FaSC 1aIK1ng OeCS hcSu1CS
 AS he entered the boss office, the latter looked up from his mail and exclaimed angrily: 'Who are you? How did you get in?"
 T represent the employees in the shop" Knight said.
 Well, I won't speak to any rep resentative of labor" the boss re- torted.
 Knight kept on talking-and the net result was that he got set clement of the shopmen's griev- ances and averted a strike. Later on, when Martin Ryan, chief of the Carmen, and Arthur Wharton, the machinist, who headed the Railway Employees De- partment, were introduced to the boss, the latter said:
 "That man Knight is as stubborn as a mule! He won't listen to req son! You can't convince him un- less you give him what he wants" :" But the boss liked him so much he signed a contract with him. It was that spirit that enabled Knight to contribute so much to an organization which, though it had only 5000 employees and no agreements when he joined, today can boast of over 131, 900 members, sound treasury, and contracts with almost every railroad in the na- ton.

'Recurrent' Polio
Attacks Boy, 9
By the Assoeiotsd Press

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 10.-A case
of recurrent poliomyelitis, which DR.
Max J. Fox said was "one of the
comparatively few in medical his
tory" was reported here today.
DR.. Fox, medical director of South
View Isolation Hospital, said the
victim was a 9-year-old boy suffer
ing from buibar-type poliomyelitis
The same child, DR.. Fox said, had
spinal type polio last year and suf-
fered no residual paralysis.
"The recurrence disproves the
popular belief that one attack pro-
vides certain immunity" DR.. Fox
said. 'The patient definitely is over
the anxious period, but Of course
we can't say yet whether he will
have any after effects"
DR.. Fox said failure to acquire
immunity might possibly be Char
acteristic of exceptional people,
adding that the case posed a ques-
ton:
Gould 1t be possible" he asked
that there is different strain OF
virus present in the different sea-
sons or different epidemics that
would bring a second attack"

strained violence after the deputies
of the old political machine sur
rendered the Athens courthouse
had this to say:
Il am in no position to comment
on the proposed State convention
noW-Im too busy catching up or

Mr.. Duggan was active in support
of the nonpartisan veterans who
won control of the county by ballots
and bullets but before the war he
had been an active Republican

IL. ). Starts StockpiIe
OF Critical Materials
For Emergency Use
BY the Assoeioied Press

Undersecretary of War Royal
said yesterday the Government is
starting Immediately" to build up
a $2,100, 100000 war reserve stock
pile of the critical materials we
would need first in an emergency"
President Truman made available
a $1o0,o0o,00o down payment in
signing deficiency appropriation
last week. Mr.. Royal told a re-
porter the Treasury's Procurement
Division is expected to start letting
contracts shortly, acting as agent
for the armed services.
Mr.. Royal is the War Depart
ment member of the Army and
Navy Munitions Board He said
the board deems the stockpile, to
be made up largely of strategic ma
terials not obtainable in this coun-
try, project of highest impor-
tance."
Asbestos, chromite, manila and
sisal fibers, jewels, lead. pepper, rub
ber, tin and zinc are included in a
tentative top priority list of some
IS strategic and critical materials
to be acquired and stored mostly
in scattered Army and Navy depots.
Exactly how much of each is to be
bought was not disclosed.
A pledge that the purchases would
be orderly" and made with due
regard for civilian shortages, the
administration concern over infla-
tionary pressures and the economy
of foreign countries, came from
Richard r. Deupree, Cincinnati
industrialist, who is civilian presi-
dent of the Munitions Board.
Under the program approved by
Congress, purchases will be spread
over five years. Mr. Deupree said
that as result there should be
little, if any, disruption to our own
domestic economy"
The $100,000,OO0 was voted In the
closing hours of the recent session
as start toward a total outlay of
ST 300 100000. Already being turned
over to the stockpile are World War
II surplus materials valued at $780,
100000.

The AAF's aim is to develop planes

Col. Simon said the work of de-
signing bombs as appropriate attack
weapons for supersonic aircraft Is
expected to accelerate as knowledge
accumulates in the research labora-
tories at Aberdeen and elsewhere.
Just what shape and size will be
required to make bombs of the su-
personic era effective depends, he
said, upon the results of studies now
in progress The bombs must be
able to fall considerably faster than
the present types, have less wind re-
sistance and be more sensitive, SCI
entists believe.
1T may be that some of the fan
tastic designs seen in the comic
strips of the Buck Rogers type may

Smithson's Royal Ancestry and Great Wealth
Recalled as Institution Marks Its Centenary
No Record Is Found
Of Founders Reason
For Gift to u. S.
BY George Kennedy

James Smithson was not forgotten
yesterday in the centenary celebra-
tion of the Smithsonian Institution.
Before the ceremonies a wreath
arrived and Sergt. Wallace A.
Clubb of the building guard placed
it on Smithson's tomb just inside
the entrance to the old building.
All of the little that is known of
this Englishman, who died in Genoa
in 1929, leaving his entire fortune
to the United States "for the in
crease and diffusion of knowledge
among men," is contained in
booklet, THE First Hundred Years
of the Smithsonian Institution"
distributed yesterday, and two
previous Smithsonian publications
Research into the life OF James
Smithson has failed to show why
he left his money to the United
States. He had never been in
America and no correspondence with
Americans has been found. The
tomb containing his remains was
brought here from Genoa in 1904.
w IioU Sooiito OH dilSCob w G1lC IOtl-
temporary ear is that this man of
wealth and distinguished ancestry
was of illegitimate birth. The an
cestry is impressive. His mother,
a Mrs. Macie, was a widow at the
time of his birth in France. She
was heiress of a fortune of unde-
termined amount. She was a Hun
gerford, of the family who were
gentlemen-in- waiting in the dra-
mats personae of Shakespeare's
Henry VI sequence. She also was
a Seymour and had in her collateral
ancestry Lady Jane Grey. the queen
for nine days who died in the Tower,
and Henry Wits third queen, Jane
Seymour. The Seymours were of
the blood royal, descended from
Henry VIII.
James Smithson's father was a
self-made man, Hugh Smithson, the
son of a physician. Hugh Smithson,
by marriage and political favor, be-
came the Duke of Northumberland
and heir to the titles and lands of
the Percys, whose name he took.
His wife, Elizabeth Percy, probably
was the wealthiest heiress of her
day. Mrs. Macie was one of her
cousins.
One of this Duke of Northum-
berland's sons, and thus a half
brother of the founder of the in
stitution, was the Lord Percy whose
foray at the head of his relocated
regulars from Boston caused Paul
Revere to make the famous ride.
Mr.. Smithson resented his estate,
He once wrote
The best blood of England flows
