Ordered 10 Sink
Mysterious Subs
z Unidentified Craft
Reported Sighted in
Territorial Waters
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Feb. 6.-The Greek
Navy Ministry today ordered its
warships to attack and sink all
unidentified submarines In
Greek territorial waters.
The order followed the reported
appearance of two strange SUBJ
marines.
One was reported between the
Peloponnesus and Crete, and an
other off the coast of Preveza, in
the Ionian Sea. Preveza is primarily
supply port for Epirus.
Troop and supply ships now are
being escorted by destroyers and
corvettes equipped with depth
charges.
Official sources said the SUBJ
marine reported seen between Pelo-
ponnesus and Crete was said to have
attempted to make contact with a
caique and approached her, but sub
merged before reaching the vessel
Clash Occurs Near Athens.
The Ministry of Public Order, said
a guerrilla band of 80 to 100 fighters
clashed with gendarmerie units OF
Pyli village on Mount Parnes, only
II miles from Athens. The noun
tain is clearly visible from Athens
The ministry said the guerrilla
unit was part of band from Mount
Parnossos which has been moving
southwark for several days.
Guerrillas repeatedly attacked the
gendarmerie station at Pyli ano
three of the Is defenders were listec
as missing after battle which con.
tinued until early this morning.
| Gendarmerie units are being
moved into the area from Athens
and other points
Report of the skirmish on Mount
Parnes is the first of band of such
size in the Athens area.
Archbishop Makes Plea.
Archbishop Damaskinos appealed
to the United Nations and thu
World Council of Churches yester.
day to do all in their power to halt
violation of women by bandits" ir
Northern Greece.
The head of the Greek church
sent the following message:
THE activities of bandits in thu
northern provinces, particularly If
Epirus, are taking a very savage
aspect. have not bothered you
with arson, nor with forcible re-
cruiting nor with wholesale execu-
lions of men and women which are
being perpetrated by bandits all ovel
this country.
Hundreds Maltreated.
To-day, however, their mania Il
directed against women. BY tn,
hundred are counted the young
women in .Epirus who have beer
maltreated, violated and taker
across the border to be used fol-
the most hideous purposes.
This dishonoring of the Greek
family is something completely con-
trary to our life. Every Christian
soul will be upset when told that
young girls, almost children, COM
NIT suicide by throwing themselves
into ravines of mountains in order
to avoid violation and abduction tc
Albania, and I believe by all means
at its disposal will disapprove these
sinister crimes. I appeal to youl
Christian feelings that you do every
thing possible to halt as soon as
possible the evil that is being done
and which heaps shame on human
dignity ITSELF

Health Officer George C. Rub
land announced today that DR..
Alvin r. Sweeney, superintend-
ent of Gallinger Hospital, docs
not elect to resign, and I will
not ask him"
DR.. Rutland made the statement
after a two-hoVr conference with
DR.. Sweeney, which was attended
by Dr. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health officer.
The Health Department chief said
he was convinced DR.. Sweeney was
not solely" responsible for condi-
tions at Gallinger, which have been
criticized. He said the department
was aware of the limitations Of the
hospital, but knew also that similar
conditions prevailed in other hos
pitfalls without provoking such Wig
orous criticism.
Il am satisfied that DR.. Sweeney
is doing all he can," DR.. Ruhlane
commented.
Camalier Report Due Soon.
He said he was determined not to
cashier DR.. Sweeney.
DR.. Rutland added Renah F.
Camalier, chairman of the Board of
Lay Visitors of the hospital, was
completing a report on conditions
at the institution which he expects
to receive soon.
Before DR.. Ruhland's announce
ment, speculation as to the posi-
bility that DR.. Sweeney's resigna-
ton would be requested had been
increased by DR.. Ruhland's receipt
yesterday of letter from Senator
Dworshak, Republican, of Idaho.
The chairman of the District Sub
committee of the Senate Appropria-
lions Committee took DR.. Sweeney
to task for the considerable ad-
verse criticism this year of Gallinger

DR.. Sweeney declared last night
he had no intention of leaving his
post voluntarily.

Southwick, deputy superintendent
should be given a crack at the job,
said Commissioner Guy Mason last
night.
He said he would inform DR.
Rutland, if the vacancy occurs, that
Mr.. Southwick is the Commission
ers' choice. But he insisted it is
up to the health officer to clean
house at Gallinger. He recalled he
had told DR.. Rutland last month te
clear away the dead wood" at the
city hospital.
Mr.. Mason said he is tired OF
hearing the Gallinger administra'
ton blame poor food, inadequate
psychiatric service and other adj
mitted deficiencies on lack of per-
sonnet. Congress has given the hos
pital money to hire more people
than are now employed there, anc

Local Union II
InstaIIs Officers
For he New Term

Local Union II, met in regular
session August 5, with better than
average attendance. Some lively
discussion was heard in the order
of business, which makes for an
interesting meeting.
The highlights of the meeting
was the installation of officers for
the ensuing six months, and ballot
ing on the referendum. Officers
elected We're Brother Charles Boso
president; Lafe Stewart, guard,
with Brothers Bill Cox, Ray Green
and Earl Pounds returned to the
posts of financial secretary, record
ing secretary and vice president
respectively.
These officers are fired with a
zeal and enthusiasm to see the local
go forward and they covet the CO.
operation of each member to make
theirs the best term of office to
date. We can do this by attending
meetings regularly and joining in
discussions freely and intelligently,
with due regard for the rights
and privileges of our fellow mem
bers.
All members of Local II, are
urged to attend our next meeting
Thursday, Aug. 10, as this will be
your last opportunity to vote on
the referendum on the salaries of
our National President and Sec
retary Treasurer. This seems to be
a highly controversial matter and
is the duty as we'll as the privilege
of each and every member to reg
lister his sentiment, regardless of
his conviction, by casting bal
lot.
With the opening of the agree
ment with the manufacturers in the
offing there are an abundance of
things to consider. Your 0. G. is
convinced that it is high time some
definite action is taken to procure
an old age pension or some means
of security for aged potters. This
is a "Must" and a good place to
keep the issue alive is in our local

dum.-O. c. II.

Urges Members To

Canonsburg, Pa.-Local Union
81 has two very important meet
ings for this month, The first falls
on Monday, August 16, with the
last session being scheduled for
August Both. We sincerely urge
every member to attend these meet
ings as very important business

Of equal Importance at both

members to vote on the referen-
dunn now before the trade concern
ing the salaries of president and

member to vote YES OH this mat
ter as our delegates were a party
to the resolution adopting the
salaries of the two officials.
After hearing their report of the
proceedings of the convention and
weighing the evidence at hand, we
feel it ill behooves any Local who
would not support the stand taken
by their chosen delegates at con-
vention. We also might add furth-
er word along this line and inform
the trade in general that Local

Scribe Retracts
Statement Made
In Last Letter

1t is with my humble apology tC
all parties concerned that this o
C. retracts a statement made ir
my last letter to the Herald, re.
garding the prices being paid foi
certain articles at the Pioneer Pot
terry Company, and the firms re-
fusal to let employees bring the
disputed articles to Local for dis
cussion on price adjustment.
Upon investigation it was learn
ed that at no time has the manage
ment refused such a request if
it was made in the proper manner
and to the proper officials. AS fur
ther evidence to this fact, the ar
ticles in dispute have since been
presented before the Local and
every effort put forth in order to
reach a satisfactory settlement.
AS to the proper scale prices be-
ing paid at the Pioneer plant, we
wish it to be clearly understood
that the firm in this respect is liv-
ing up to the agreement 100 per
cent. Vice presidents Chadwick and
Turner will corroborate this state
ment as both officials were recent
visitors at the plant and together
with the shop committee met with
officials of the firm in ironing out
several grievances of routine ma
ture.
Both officials stated relationship
between the Brotherhood and the
firm has always been of the high
est standard and at no time has
there been any indication of
break in the cordial relationship of
collective bargaining for plant en-

Rickert Retained
As President Of
Local Union 102

Ford City, Pa.-The new officers
of Local 102 are as follows: Presi-
dent, John Rickert, retained for his
third term; Joseph Logsdon, vice
president; Samuel Hindes, record
ing secretary; Donald Luse, finan-
cial secretary; Alex Chernesky, de-
fense secretary; Warren Shots,
guard; Robert Kerr, Inspector; Jo-
|seph Southworth, trustee.
The Local also elected a griev-
ance committee of five members,
Matt McDermott, William Hailes
Ralph Fair, Joseph Southworth,
and John Osborn. Owing to the
shop working three shifts, the polls
were open for twelve hours, afford
ing all an opportunity to vote.
We urge every member to aid
these officials in carrying out the
duties Of their. respective office
and in so doing will be advancing
the interests Of all. 1t is also the
wish of the new officials that all
grievances be brought to the Local
for adjustment instead of wrang-
ling on the shop over any griev-
ances that may arise.
Our delegates to the convention
made their report and the majority
feels that what took place at the
convention was for the best inter-
ests of the trade.
We were also very interested in
the proposed pension plan and hope
we will be furnished with more par
ticulars SO that we may take it up
with the manufacturers. We also
feel the report of the delegates as
to the sanitary conference to be
held each year is money and time
well spent in the interest of the
trade.
We hope the members of the N.
Bo of o. P. who have not been
living up to the obligation they
took when they joined the organi-
zation, will see the light of day and
once again join as a unit in pro-
noting the interests of all. When

any labor organization, it does not
lake long before the organization
begins to fall apart. We must not
overlook what the N. B. of 0. P.

Shop Teams Will
Play For Title
At Salem Picnic

Salem, Ohio-There has been a
change in our program for the pic
mic which should prove of interest
to all. After many requests it has
been decided that the ball game
will be played between teams rep
resenting the clay shop and decorat-
ing department. This has been the
custom in past years and the COM
mittee felt any change from this
procedure would not be in the best
interests of all. AS an added at
traction to lovers of the diamond
sport, there will be a game be-
tween the old timers. The latter
contest should prove one of the
days highlights and in all probabi-
lity will result in many aches and
pains when Sunday rolls around.
