Wayne County Sheriff Robert l..
Brown reported four members OF
a family were killed and two others
wounded today in a series OF shoot
ings, and said the husband Of one
Of the victims would be charged
with first degree murder.

arrest of Oliver Hurley, As, on a
murder charge, and that blood
hounds would be used to track
him down.

verdict of murder.
Meanwhile, a second coroner's
jury was impaneled to investigate
the death of Hurley's brother.
Brown said a posse of about 40
state police, sheriff's d puties, and
civilians were searching the Ia

Will File Charges
The Southern Federation Of
Telephone workers announced il

practices against the company L
it fired employees now on strike.
The Charlotte local passed a
resolution "condeming' Governor
Cherry for preventing the office
of Governor of North Carolina tc
the purpose of a strike-breakine
agency"
The Asheville local was the first

Its president, c. o. Deas, said
the question of wages would be
left open to a national or regional
settlement. He also declared that
if the wage question had been ne
gotiated on a regional basis, the
strike would not have occurred.
The National Federation of Tele-
phone workers has stood firmly on
it's demand for national agreement
without regional differentials.
Asheville First
Asheville, with a population Of
upwards of $1,000, is the largest
city in the state with manual tele-
phones, requiring the services Of
an operator ON each call.
In Raleigh, where the union vot-
ed Sunday to return to work to-
day, one spokesman said the de-
cision did not result from Gov.
Cherry's request. He did not Ella
borate.
About 1886 members are involved
at Raleigh, about 700 at Charlotte,
and about 200 in the Greensboro

COMPROMISE

be amendable to the compromise
plan.
CnmnrnmiSe Plan

Compromise Plan
Both compromises were said to
point toward an assembly resolu-
ton which would order the poll
teal committee, 55-nation dupli-
cate Of the assembly itself. to in
vite the Jewish agency to testi-
fy. The Canadian plan would au-
thorize the committee to invite
other agencies also-including the
Arab higher committee-if it saw
fit.
The resolution now before the
committee. a nebulously wordeo
American proposal which has pro.
duced a deadlock, provides mere
ly that the Political committee
should decide whether it wants
to hear such non-governmental
organizations as the Jewish agency
during its attempt to pound out q
blueprint for UN fact-findine
commission on Palestine.
The compromise resolutions
would have the assembly order
the Political committee to hear the
Jews. although it would not rule
out the possibility Of strong efforts
by the British, the Americans ane
some other countries to restrict
the agency in its role before the
committee.
U. S. Reception
The United States and Britain
were described as receptive tc
the compromise idea if it does
not promise the Jewish agency
too strong a voice. 1t was not
known whether the Russians, lead
ers of the move to bring the agen
cy before a full-dress session,
would accept without a fight.

PHONE OFFICIAL CALLS SFTW
CHARGE RIDICULOUS

ATLANTA, Ca, May -U.H-H.
S. Dumas, president of the South
ern Bell Telephone CO., tonight
branded as ridiculous - charges
of collusion between the company
and North Carolina's Gov. Gregg
Cherry made by the Southern
Federation of Telephone workers.
Dumas, in a statement to news
men, termed the union accusa-
tions mot true" and added:
Had the union spokesman read
fully my letter to Gov. Cherry ,
he would never have made such
a ridiculous statement.
The telephone company official
declined to comment upon the
SFTW announcement that an un-
fair labor practices complaint had
been filed against Southern Bell
with the National Labor Relations
board regional office il Atlanta.
CHIEF negotiator for the SFTW
A. T. Jones charged that Cherry,
evidently interceding at the re-
quest of Dumas and Southern
Bell" was attempting to smash
strike by ordering the strikers
back to work on the company S
terms"
To Included Dumas
Meanwhile, union vice-president
H. F. Tweedy declared that the
unfair practices complaint against
the company would be "ameaded
and broadened" to include
Dumas.
Earlier, the SFTW charged that
the company had fired three en-
ployes. all women. land others"
because of their union activities.
The company has refused to re-
instate the employees - Ovens
boro, Ky, telephone operators
Dorothy Mcdaniel, Oleta June
Parker and Lucy Tickenor - the
union said in explaining why the
unfair practices charge was filed
with the NLRB.
In reporting the filing of the
charges to the union membership,
Strike Director w. E. Martin said
that mot one union member need
fear for a single moment that his
interests would be overlooked.
However, a Southern Bell
spokesman reported that the three
women were dismissed for as
saulting non-striking telephone
workers.
There was no further indication
rom Southern Bell that striking
employees would lose their jobs if
they did not return to work.
Ultimatum Served
The ultimatum to the striking
" workers was made public yester
da5 after the company disclosed
ii had offered the union wage in
creases of ST to So per week.
The union rejected both the
wage offer and the ultimatum,
stating that the strike would not
end in the South prior to 4 just
and honorable settlement.
The ultimatum to the striking
workers was contained in a letter
written to Gov. Cherry by Dumas
wherein the telephone official
promised I'VE shall give full re-
sponse to your request that we
employe replacement personnel.
It was reported that no delibera-
tions between the union and
Southern Bell were in progress to-
day, nor would spokesmen for
either side indicate when negotia-
tions would be resumed.

and with the company-and I have
had just as many contacts with
one as with the other-I have sug-
gested that if the two sides cannot
reach a settlement that the ques-
ton be referred to board Of
arbitrators to be settled there and
that meantime the citizens Of
North Carolina be given relief
from the suffering and inconven-
ience that the strike has caused.
Retroactive Feature
"Whatever decision is reached
by the arbitrators could, of course,
be retroactive to an agreed date
so that during the period Of re-
sumed service the workers would
lose none of their benefits, or the
company none of its income, and
the public would have the use of a
utility it has every right to ex-
pect.

week that Denham has cooked up
another affidavit for all signers
of the noncommunist affidavits to
sign as an additional requirement
in order to get NLRB attention.
This new requirement, which so
far NLRB officials have kept quiet,
would force all such signers to

member of their union has been
furnished a copy of the financial
statement of the union. Under
the act such statements must be

Okoy! You can take
YOUR vacation now

It's all right, tenants. You can
go on vacations, at least, without
fear of being evicted. Judge N. J..
Bonelli says SO.
In Renters Court last week,
Mrs. P. K. Korsgaard, 7345 S..
Maplewood av., asked that her
third-floor tenant, Mrs. jeremiah
Sheehy, be evicted on the grounds
that her apartment was nothing
but storage place for six rooms
of furniture.
Mrs. Sheehy, who lives in the
apartment with her son and
daughter-in-law, said she left the
apartment only for vacations.
Judge Bonelli refused the evic-
ton order, ruling that a tenant
should be allowed to take vaca-
tons without fear of eviction.
