And So To Bed

A couple of grandparents
went to visit their son and
daughter yesterday afternoon
in the southern part of the
city.
When they arrived at the
son and daughters home.
their little grandson met them
at the front door crying.
"What in the world are
you crying about?" they an
xiously asked the boy.
Between sobs he blurted
out that his mother and dad
were in the garage, and had
been for an hour and
wouldn't let him come out
there.
When the grandfather and
grandmother investigated,
they found their son and
daughter playing with the
boys Christmas present: an
electric train.

This was the first optimistic
note in the dispute between the
hospital nurses and management
since the nurses turned down a
12-point program offered by the
board of managers last Wednes-
day on the grounds that it did
not include contracts and recogni-
ton of their rights of collective

The proffered wage increases
and betterment of working con-
ditions, including more free hos
pitalization and a promise of a
44-hour work week, were looked
upon with favor by the nurses.
In their statement last night
both sides promised that there
will be other conferences between
the nurses and hospital manage
ment in the near future. Mean

Chamber of Labor that the gen.

unemployment relief, indicated
the government would renege on
points the chamber insists the

(In Moscow, the Soviet press

Reports here said that after
long negotiations, five men from
Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Com-
munist Labor Socialists and the
old line Leftist Republican party
had been picked t. join the cabi-
net of de Gasperi, Christian
Democratic leader. The unofficial
sources said an announcement OF
the cabinet changes would be
made later.

others "are secretly put out of

under which Euthanasia would

the plan, the court, on receipt of
a signed petition from the suf-

Of imposing life imprisonment or the death penalty.
This is a dangerous bill. and will not curb the num-
Der Of murders in this state The Detroit TRIBUNE is

persons who cannot afford the best legal talent for their
defense will be the largest number Of victims Of this dark

Already, because of the economic condition Negroes
constitute the largest number of inmates in Michigan prs-
And there guarantee that they will average
