Results of a referendum on the
price questions were announced last
night at a meeting in Pythian Tenn
pie OF 450 members of the Journey
man Cosmotologists and Proprietors
international Union, of America,
Local 239 (AFLl.
BY secret mail vote, the BARRIERS
decided, 353 to 145, to continue the
present 81 figure for haircuts. The
shave price increase was voted by
429 to u, Charles .Boyello, union
secretary treasurer, announced.
The voting was precipitated BY
the action of an independent bar
Der shop in raising haircuts to $l.25
about three months ago. In the
controversy that followed, the union
felt obliged to sample the member
ships sentiment.
Although most BARRIERS believed
they were entitled to more money
for a haircut, they were apprehen-
sive about public reaction, one bar
ber said. AS to shaveS, BARRIERS were
losing money on them and felt an
increase was necessary, he said.

Harrison Parker Jailed
90 Days for Contempt
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. Is Harrison
Parker, II, self-styled chancellor Of
the Puritan Church of America, I"
was Jailed last night to begin serv-
ing .9o-day sentence for contempt
of court.
The Jail sentence has been hang
ing over Parker. promoter of vari-
Gus business enterprises, since 1945.
1t resulted from his filing an am
davit in the Circuit Court of Cook
County in which he branded all
Illinois courts as crooked
Parker forfeited $1,000 bond in
July when he failed to appear in
Circuit Court in connection with the
contempt charge. The United States
Supreme Court upheld the sentence
April 6. 1948.
He was taken into custody by
two deputy sheriffs as he left the
courthouse. Parker had appeared
before a Federal grand jury investi-
eating charges that he had de-
frauded s230,000 from entrants in
IA puzzle contest promoting his
church.
Parker also is under a sentence
of six months for contempt. That
sentence was upheld by the United
States Supreme Court In May.

ThurIn1lio,nd | Charges
Opponents Would End
Nation S Way Of Life
BY the Asseeiated Press

CONVICTION, KY, Oct. 15.-
Three presidential candidates last
night We're accused Of advocating
policies which would destroy the
American way of life.
Gov. ]. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, States Rights Democratic
Party candidate for President, said
In an address at a rally here that
his party is the only one with
enough courage to expose those
policies.
Gov. Thurmond said the political
platforms of President Truman, the
Democratic nominee. Gov. Dewey
Republican candidate, and Henry
Wallace, Progressive Party candi-
date, constitute the most vicious
assault upon constitutional govern
ment In American history"
DO not be misled by those who
would have you believe that our
campaign Is narrow, sectional
matter of interest only to the South
ern people" Gov. Thurmond said.
1T Is true that the most disas-
trous effect of the program We op-
pose would be felt in the South.
That is why the most strenuous op-
position comes from our States.
But the basic violations of the
principles Of Democracy represented
in that program would take away
rights in every State in the Union.
THE thousands of supporters we
have won in States like California.
Illinois, New York and Colorado
clearly indicate that the people
know the issue"
Gov. Thurmond returned to CO.
lumbia. S. c., today for a rest after
his tour of Virginia and Kentucky.

Five B-50s 70 Rotate
On Alaska Missions

Five bombers and q group OF
about IS fighters will comprise the
Nations air defense in Alaska this
winter. --- f" .4"
This was disclosed today In an
Air Force announcement that three
5-plane flights of new type B-5O
bom5ers would rotate on training
missions in Alaska between Novem-
Der l and March IS, thus placing
only five of the craft in the area at
any one time.
The only other COMBAT units in
the polar frontier sector Is the
fighter group regularly stationed
there. Defense plans are based on
the assumption that both fighters
and bombers could be flown there
quickly in case of an emergency. :
The B-50 is a radically changed
version Of the wartime B-29. It
has top speed of 400 miles an
hour. lotion bomb capacity and a
range Of 1900 miles. The forth
coming missions will mark the first
time they have flown in organized
units outside the country.
Meanwhile, available information
showed no fighter, bomber or troop
carrier units now are based in the
Panama Canal Zone. Air officers
said they were unable to discuss
future plans for defense of that
area. Planes previously based In
that area have been moved to the

a Midwest Meat Packers
Oppose Rail Rate Increase
By the Asseeio,ed Press

-Four meat packing companies in
the Middle West today made the
first formal objection to any quick
increase in railroad freight rates.
The protest was filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
by John Morrell g. Co, the Rath
Packing Co.. George A. HORNED &
Co., and Oscar Mayer & Co.
They asked the ICC to reject the
railroad request last Monday for
an immediate 8 per cent advance in
freight rates. The proposed increase
would be in effect while the COM
mission holds hearings on the rail-
roads plea for a 13 per cent perma-
nent raise.
The meat packers recalled that
when the rail lines were given a Is
per cent rate increase in July, the
commission had suggested voluntary
discussions between shippers and the
carriers on adjustment of rates be-
tween competitive shipping terri
tories ito restore former competitive
relations" The four companies said
they had been unable to obtain such
conferences with the railroads and
therefore opposed any emergency
rate advance "superimposed upon
improprletles already existing"
They said the matter was one re-
quiring full hearing before any
action is taken.

BALTIMORE, Oct. Is. - Noting
that persons can live after their
stomachs are removed, DR.. Frank

as a means of dealing with stomach
cancers.
DR.. Lahey, who is director of Bos-
tons Leahey Clinic, said last night
that about 81 per cent of persons
who have undergone total gastrec-
tony removal of the stmach) have
a chance of living 36 months or
more, while the remainder have a
chance of living for shorter periods
down to II months.
Without this operation, every

UPWA DENIAL-The CIO United

Roy Eldean, UPWA vice president
and head of its Federal employees
branch, declared: I'VE have no in
tention OF breaking away from the

break away into a new union. But
Mr.. Eldean said today this is not
contemplated.

LINE FORMS sON RIGHT
There's quite a~bit of scrambling
going on among various House men,
bers with Offices in the rather dilapi-
dated old House Office Building in
their efforts to get quarters in the
new building.
These members of Congress are
jockeying for the Offices of their un
fortunate colleagues who have been
defeated in primary races, as well
as for the quarters of other Repre-
sentatives who are expected to fall
by the political wayside next month.
All this has proved an extreme
headache to the House Office Build,
ing Commission. which has the final
say in the matter. 1t has announced
that it will accept no bids for Office
space until the election returns are
in and that its decision then will
be made on a basis of seniority
among applicants. But this hasn't
discouraged some Representatives
who are now engaged in lot
of behind the scenes political mani
pulations in an effort to gain space
in the new building.
STATE DEPT. COMPLAINT-A
number of State Department secre-
taries and stenographers are COM
planning about having to work nights
and on week ends, usually without
overtime pay.
These girls say they wouldn't
mind working occasional evenings
or on Saturday or Sunday, if it were
necessary.
But they contend often they must
sit around without any work to do
during the regular workday. while
