POLICE HERE Do
NOT WANT SOPKO
ON SAFE CHARGE
Akron Detectives Remark
That "Safe Cracker" Is
Wanted Here is UnfOunded

Port Clinton police are not in
terested in John Sopko, 41-year-
old Akronite, who Detective Capt.
John Struzenski, of that city, de-
scribed as "the best safe cracker
in the country, bar none."
Sopko was arrested Tuesday
night by 20 Akron detectives,
armed with machine guns, tear
gas bombs, pistols and shotguns-
but they surprised the man while
dining and without a shot being
fired.
Struzenski said he was booked
as John Sopko on a fugitive war
rant from Cambridge, Guernsey
county. He escaped from the
county Jail there last June II,
smashing double-constructed
brick wall.
In story which appeared in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Struzenski
added that Sopko was wanted in
GAINESVILLE, Sandusky and Port
Clinton.
Local police said that the mis-
taken belief Sopko was wanted
here came from an incident last
year when he was implicated in
theft of some plumbing equipment
consigned to Carl Krepel, local
plumber, but stolen from Akron.
There are no unsolved safe
cracking "jobs" in this city, the
police added.

had difficulty reaching the dock.
There were no reports of dam
age from the strong winds, al
though small branches were brok-
en- off trees throughout the area.

FIRE MYSTERY E
 EXPLAINED; GIRL
 MAKES CONFESSION

MACOMB, H., Aug. 3l. R-More than 100 fires on the Charles Valley farm the origin of which baffled scientists and ex- perts for nearly two weeks, were set by a 13-year-old member of the family, deputy state fire marshal said yesterday.
 John Burgard, the deputy, said the girl, Wonet McNeil, told au- thorities she touched off the fires when other family members were not watching me-
 Burgard said Wonet told him she set the fires because she want ed to be sent to live with her divorced mother, Mrs. Leona Eagle, of Bloomington. Ill.
 Wonet and her brother, Arthur, Jr., g., were placed in the custody of their father, Arthur McNeil. when their parents were divorced in 1943.
 The rash of blazes attracted na- tionwide attention. They led to speculation that the flames were caused by radio-activity, gas, fly spray or roach paste.

LABOR PEACE ALONG COAST
 E UNSETTLED
Near on Hiring Hall But Are Far Apart
 on Wage Question

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 3I.--N An agreement on the thorny hir- ing hall issue appeared in sight to- day but labor peace on Pacific Coast waterfront still hung prccar- iously as the l2:0l a. m. Thurs day strike deadline neared. Waterfront employers and the CIO International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union still were far apart on the wage ques- tion. among others.
 The employers late yesterday raised their offer two cents to 10 cents an hour straight time and Is cents overtime in an effort to forestall the threatened walkout. but the union insisted on l8 cents and 27 cents.
 ILWU Statement
 An ILWU statement said the em- ployer offer did no provide for re- troactivity and did not contain the usual periodical wage reviews
 On the hiring hall issue. the ILWU said "an agreement was reached"
 The employers are considering language offered by the union which, if accepted, will remove the hiring hall as strike issue" it explained.
 But an employer spokesman in- dicated no change in the employ CTS attitude that the hiring hall be left status quo pending court determination of its legality under The Taft-Iarticy Law, This was 1 the basis of this months East Coast maritime settlement. Issues Unsettled The ILWU said pessimistically that many issues remain unsettled. and unless they are disposed of be- : tween now and the deadline. the strike will ensue.'
 The employers made one other concession. They agreed to include supercargoes in the proposed con- tract. supercargoes are men who direct the loading of cargo into the holds.
 Another Complication
 Meantime another complication arose when all West Coast unions whose contracts are in dispute re- affirmed their stand that the waterfront employers must sign with all or none.
 These unions include the ILWU, the maritime engineers, firemen. radio operators and the cooks and stewards.
 What the government will do when the 80-day Federal cooling off" injunction expires remained a question. Jess Rosenberg. special Department of Justice attorney. said he had asked Washington for instructions on lifting the injunc- tion. He indicated this might take a few days since the governments course of action lies largely in un- explored areas of the Taft Hartley Act.
