Tean1sters, OlUners Start Negotiations

New York, Sept. 13-(UP)-FuN scale negotiations between striking A.FL. teamSters and truck owners, presided over by Mayor William ODwyer. brought hope today for an early end to the general truck ing strike, which for 13 days has jammed freight movement along the Atlantic Coast.
 Both sides appeared cheerful and optimistic before the session called for P. M. (E.D.TD. The negotia- tions were the first since the strike of 15,000 members of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Teamsters (A.FL) began Sept. l, with de- mands for 30 percent wage boost.
 The flow of food and medicine into New York City was increasing as all interference with non-strik- ing truck drivers stopped. However, more industries were forced to close their doors as badly needed raw materials were held up by the strike.
 A half-hour meeting last night between the union and employees set up the machinery for todays negotiations. There was no indica- ton of what agreement might be reached. Last week both sides re- jecteI an 1872 -cent compromise of- fered by Mayor O'Dwyer.
 Two of the three striking team sters' locals have ordered their men to resume the hauling of essential food and medicine; however, the third local, which contains the largest number of strikers, refused to move any trucks until a new contract is negotiated.
 The striking teamSters ordinarily handle all of the general trucking in New York City, moving materials from piers, freight terminals and warehouses to stores and manufac- turing plants. Most deliveries by long haul trucks are turned over to local drivers at the city limits.

 All superstitions to the contrary, however, Dr. Boring enjoys nothing better than having 13 guests at par ties, and occasionally asking for a hotel room on the 18th floor.
 He pointed to the fact that records of the National Safety Council show the accident toll on Friday the 18th, is no greater than on any other av- craze day-257 killed and 26,600 in- jured.

Asks KiessIing Case Briefs
 Wants Information
 To Decide Method
 To Try Action

Superior Court Judge Thomas E Troland will accept briefs from op- posing counsel before he decides whether the $5O,O0O support action of Mrs. Emma KieSsling of Water bury against Elmer Messing, local manufacturing executive, shall be tried by court or jury.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy counse for Mrs. Kiessling, argued at g short calendar session today thai his claim Tor a jury hearing was in order and should be upheld. At torney J. Warren Upson, lawyer for her husband, asked the court to strike the jury claim from the docket.
 A judgment by default was en- tered against Kiessling last July, after he refused to obey court order requiring him to open certain books of the American Fastener Company and the General Manu- featuring Company, of which he is an officer. The question now be- fore the court is the amount of damages to which Mrs. KieSSling is entitled, and the amount of future support.
 Upson argued that the case was one in equity and that 1t could not be properly assigned for a jury hearing. He gave citations, claim ing that under the Constitution, that type of case could not be heard by a jury in Connecticut.
 Cassidy charged that Upson was attempting to inject a constitutional issue so that the case could be taken to the U. s. Supreme Court.
 He claimed that the only ques- ton remaining in the civil action was the amount of support to which Mrs. Kiessling is entitled, and that was a question of fact and proper for decision by a jury.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 3.-Ohio
State University today had its fourth
new head football coach in IL years
after an unprecedented swap in
which the head coach and his as
sistant traded jobs.
Moved up to head coach was Paul
o. Bixler, 80, an assistant since l941.
Dropped back to assistant was
Carroll C. Widdoes, AZ, who in 1914
gave the Bucks their first perfect
regular season since 1920 and a Big
Ten championship and whose 1945
team lost only to Purdue and Michi-
gan. Widdoes also was named
coach of the year" in 1914.
The Ohio State Athletic Board,
which said it unanimously approved
the change, made public copy of
letter from Widdoes in which he
offered his resignation because IT
have come to the conclusion that I
was better satisfied as an assistant
than I have been as head coach"
Bixler Made Professor.
In addition to the unusual job
swapping, the athletic board also
approved: The elevation of Bixler to
the position Of full professor on the
faculty; the retention of Ernie God
frey as assistant coach and left to
Bixler the decision as to the re-
mainder of the coaching personnel

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 3.-Leo
CThe Lip) Durocher, retained as
Brooklyn's 1916 manager, promises
that the dizziness boys will finish
among the first eight in the Ma
tional League.
He was more optimistic in tele-
phone conversation with Dodger of :
f1cials in New York-a talk that
ended in agreement with President
Branch Hickey to pilot the Buns"
for the eighth year.
Durocher told Hickey he was
high" on the Dodgers pennant
chances, and informed another Of
ficial 1t was his No. 1 ambition to
win a pennant under Hickey. His
seven-year record is one pennant
won, second place twice, third three
times and seventh once.
With more salary promised-and
perhaps an understanding on a
bonus-Durocher went right to work
to select his regulars for the COM
ing season.
Paul Howie Schultz and Eddie
Stevens are his men for first base,
with several additional good pros
poets, he said. Eddie Stanky will
be second baseman, with Rookie
Stan Pojack coming along in good
shape. Peewee Reese will be at
short.
For the hot corner" at third
Cooky Lavagetto is Durocher's s
choice.
His mound squad he called the
best in the league. Pitchers ready
to swing 'em are Ralph Branca, Ed
Head, Hal Gregg, Lefty Vic Lom-
bardi and rookie, Joe Hatten.
