In the far north in the future.
In water below freezing tempera-
lures a man can live only about 10
minutes. The average man COL
lapses sooner and rescues generally
are impractical If they require more
than four minutes. It usually takes
at least this time to launch a rescue
boat and reach a man in rough seas,
Boat rescues seldom are successful,
moreover, because the rescue craft

Pilot First Casualty.
The basket arrangement with its
graphing arms can be operated
either entirely from the deck or 1t
can carry sailor to operate 1t
when 1t is manipulated directly
above the exhausted swimmer.
The problem OF combating ex-
posture Is exceptionally difficult. The
special exposure suits, with which
every member OF an air crew is
provided, are too cumbersome, the
pilots complain, to be worn under
the electrically heated flying suits.
The crucial time for the pilot so
far as temperatures are concerned.

maneuvers, is the four or five min
utes required for landing the plane.
Regardless of the altitude the tenn
perature inside a closed cockpit
seldom falls below minus. 10 degrees
fahrenheit, but it is very difficult for
landing to be made with the
cockpit closed. Once it is opened,

While the law affects only the
American zone, it will be reported

Gen. Clay, in estimating the num-

have at least 100000, but directly

who until now had escaped any
great hardships or punishment be-

his radioman-gunner, William d.
Patzwaldt, 20, Saginaw, Mich.
Ensign Keller was coming in for
a landing on the Midway when the

heat. On instructions from flight
officers aboard the carrier, he set
the plane down In the water In the
path Of the escorting destroyer,

Men Plucked From Raft.
The men climbed out OF the sink
ing plane and into an inf1atable rub

into action with its new rescue ap-
paratus. The men were plucked
from their raft by the basket, rigged
to swing out on boom. Despite
the unscheduled dunking, they were

Dairy Workers Here
Demand Higher Pay
And Shorter Hours

Unionized dairy workers today
were seeking higher pay and shorter
hours from IL major District con-
Germs, but an industry spokesman
said the demands could not be met
without increasing the retail cost
OF milk, perhaps as much as cents
a quart.
Eugene Hubbard, agent for the
Milk Drivers and Dairy Employees
Union, an affiliate of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters
(AFL), said these demands have
been presented to the dairies:
A weekly increase Of 81 in the base
pay of retail and wholesale drivers,
plus an additional 21a per cent COM
mission for retail drivers on sales
collections exceeding $3.50 a week
and per cent additional commits
sion for wholesale drivers on sales
above 81 1926 a week.
A raise of 81 cents an hour for
plant workers and reduction In
working hours for all employees from
48 to 40.
Week Sick Leave Asked.
Minimum of one week sick leave
for employees with more than q
years service.
Milk drivers, Mr.. Hubbard said,
have not had pay raise since 1912.
Retail drivers, he said, now receive
a base pay of $3.50 weekly, a guar
antee of s43.50 and per cent col
lection commission. Wholesale driy-
ers receive a base pay of $3.50, a
guarantee Of s4550 ant 2 per cent
commission.
Some plant workers, he said, are
making S37 a week and wholesale
helpers get $34.
Unable to Predict Prices.
Herman A. Schulteis, vice presi-
dent of Chestnut Farms Dairy.
speaking for the industry commit
tee which met with union repre-
sentatives yesterday, said it was
impossible to predict exactly how
much retail milk might go UP if
all the demands were met. It was
reasonable to suppose, however, he
said, that it would be forced up
several cents, and perhaps as much
as nickel quart.
Mr.. Schulteis, whose committee
is bargaining for all the companies,
said the drivers have had wage in
creases in the past four years as
result OF route consolidation and
other factors"
He said the drivers are now max
ing $40 week, with commissions,
and that fiat raises have been
granted other workers in the in
dustry.
Meet Again Before March IA.
At the conclusion of yesterdays
meeting, the representatives of

again with union leaders before
March IA The dairy union has
about 1,700 members.
The present contract between the
union and management runs to
June 6, but it was agreed to discuss
complete revision after the union
took advantage of a clause per-
mitting negotiations in the face of
rising living costs.
Besides Chestnut Farms, the dali
ries involved are Wakefield, Thomp-
son, Embassy. Alexandria, Mary
