Machinists Ask 25% Pay Hike

SEATTLE, (P) - Planning to ask wage increases of approxim- ately 25 per cent, local 79 of the machiniStS union will meet Febru- ary 28 to set demands which they will make on the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, this year.
 Negotiations between the indus try and several unions, including the machinists, have been going on for the last five weeks. How ever, wage demands have yet to be formally made, pending the set ting of fishing regulations in some districts.
 The committee will make a re- port and recommendations at the meeting, I. A. Sandvigen, machin- ists business agent, said. He added:
 Since price controls went off in October, 1946, canned salmon prices have risen up to 150 per cent over 1945 ceilings. Labor's gain in this period has been 2334 per cent. This year-with the ris- ing cost of living-We intend to seek healthy wage increase"
 Unions in the industry, repre- senting 25,000 workers, received wage increases of 12R per cent

 This years negotiations between unions and the industry have been slowed down by a jurisdictional dispute between Local ', cannery workers, and the seafood workers union. The dispute is pending be- fore the national labor relations board.

BY q stoff Correspondent Of The star

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. June
26.-Calvert County citizens will
settle the issue of legalized slot
machines in a special election Mon
day.
Some 5000 voters are eligible to
ballot between 7 am. and pm. in
a referendum that will decide
whether Calvert becomes the third
Maryland County in which COIN
operated devices are legal. The
counties which now permit opera
ton are Anne Arundel and st.

A heavy turnout and a close de-
cision was predicted today by both
sides.
A bill passed at the last special
session of the legislature directed
the county commissioners to hold a
referendum. If the machines are
approved they will become legal
Immediately.
State Senator Louis L. Goldstein,
Democrat, of Calvert, introduced the
measure which provides that license

expenses of the special election. The
next $250,000 would go toward con-

Is Police Squads Pen
Armed Chicago Gang
In Suburban Quarry
By the Assoeio.ed Press

CHICAGO, June 26. - Fifteen
squads of police-aided until dark
ness fell by six planes-were closing
in tonight on a gang of gunner
who entrenched themselves in a
suburban quarry.
The gang. surprised in an attempt
to hijack a handbook in suburban
Western Springs, machine-gunned a
Western Springs police sergeant.
Police said they were about to raid
the handbook when the gang COM
posed of three or four men came out
of the front door carrying machine
guns. Shots were exchanged and
Sergt. Charles Peterson. 42. was
seriously wounded.
| Flee Into Quarry.
The gang sped away in an auto
mobile, closely followed by police
car. Reinforcements, summoned by
radio, raced to intercept the fleeing
car. Near suburban Hodgkins, the
gunmen abandoned the car and fled
on foot toward the heavily wooded
quarry.
Six planes from the Glenview Air
Station aided in the search for the
gangsters. They we're withdrawn as
spoilers, however, when darkness
came.
haywood police set up mobile
radio station to convey messages
from the planes to the squads on
the ground.
The quarry is in a large forest
preserve area. 1t covers an area
of about 2 miies and is filled with
ravines and wooded tracts.
Police Work Way In.
Police ringed the steep-walled pit
and began slowly working their way
in. The gang was believed to have
taken a strong position somewhere
in the quarry.
The right arm of 1t. Joseph Clegg,
81, a suburban La Grange policeman
was grazed when his squad car was
peppered by the fleeing hi-jackers.
The gunmens shots also blew out a
tire on the squad car.
Three mobile police spotlights
stabbed into the gloomy region when
darkness came.
sergt. Peterson, policeman for
rs years, was shot twice in the abb
domen. The gunner sprayed his
squad car with machine gun fire as

community" he wrote.
Mr.. Drake also said that use OF the
term Indulgence" is the Achilles
heel' of voluntary hospitals, adding
that it was not because the term can
be used honestly to explain the enor-
nous deficits hospitals have run up.
But because" he declared "it
has become the honored sanction
for the hospitals stupid public re-
lations policies, for its bad credit
practices, for its frequent incom-
petence and for quite a few dis
honesties. 1t is largely responsible
for the disease of deficits that is
undermining the voluntary hospi-
tai"
The Indulgence complex" he said,
must be eliminated from their pub
lie relations policy. as we'll as from
their practices, from slovenly book

would be placed in the county's gen.
eral fund.
Favoring legalization of the de-
vices are most of the county S
elected officials, a large percentage
of businessmen, and those who do
not regard the issue as moral one.
Opposition is centered largely
around a 0-nember civic asso-
citation headed by John c. Ward,
tobacco grower and president of the
Calvert County Farm Bureau. Also
working against the proposal are
Protestant church leaders and a
small group of professional men.
Both sides conducted quiet cam
paigns until yesterday, when each
made a last-minute appeal for the
voters support. Earlier, however,
the North Beach Board of Trade
offered voters at the beach precinct
free chicken dinners and bus fare
refunds as an inducement to vote
A 1,600-word statement issued by
group signing themselves prop
erty owners and taxpayers" said
that voters are not urged to vote
for licensing"
Nearly all of the playing of slot
machines is done by Washington
people," the statement said. TT is
from them the revenues will be re-
ceived, if the machines are licensed
and taxed. Very little county
money is involved"
Countering these assertions, the
Civic Association of Calvert County
issued a memorandum declaring
that I'VE do not need to sell our
decency and character for the price
Il of a hospital. We don't need the
charity of the gambling gentry. We
have provided the present hospital
by decent means, and We have
enough self respect and decency to
provide additional disqualification
without surrendering the peace and
respect of our community
A third statement, issued by DR..
H. W. Ward, director of the Calvert
Hospital, condemned financing of a
new hospital through slot machine
revenues and added that so conflict

A statement attributed TO Joe
Louis was read last night at a vet
erans' rally here saying the retiring
heavyweight champion stands
"squarely with both feet in the
corner with Paul Robson, leftist
singer who is supporting Henry A.
Wallace.
The heavyweight champ, who won
his last fight with jersey Joe Walcott
by an 18th round knockout Friday
night, did not attend the rally at
Uline Arena.
Placards advertising the rally said
he was to appear on the program
with Mr.. Robson in his capacity as
honorary national commander of
the United Negro and Allied Veter-
ans of America, which sponsored
the meeting.
The veterans organization was
cited by Attorney General Clark in
December, 1947 as "subversive or
otherwise suspect" 1t was one of 33
groups named at that time by Mr.
Clark as "adjuncts" to the Com
munist Party.
Phone From New York.
The statement read to the audi
ence was telephoned from New York
last night by Mr.. Louis, according
to Winston C. Edwards, acting ma
tional commander of the group.
The Stars efforts to reach Mr.
Louis by telephone last night were
futile.
The statement criticized Congress
and the Republican and Democratic
parties for failure to enact civil
rights legislation and said both
parties had forgotten the Negro

When Mr.. Louis announced after
his fight Friday that he was going
to retire, he added he was going to
get into politics" and would be
active in this years presidential
campaign
Mr.. Robson, who sang on the
program, told reporters he had not
talked with Mr. Louis about the
fighters political beliefs.
There is no reason he shouidnt
feel something could be done
through a third party he SAID.
Joe is very aware of the situation
today and is conscious of the fact
he has influence"
Mr.. Robson is member OF the
national committee working to elect
Mr.. Wallace and has been on
speaking tour of the South. Today
he will give a keynote address in
Richmond at a convention of the
Wallace party.

"CoIlateraI' Function Costs.
Costs of such "collateral' func-

Likewise, it added, the burden of
essential teaching functions should
not fail on the patient.
Private patients who pay fully for
their care must pay for all they get
but must not be forced to pay "a

The editorial came Just at time
when hospital officials are about to
confer with Chest budget officials on
how much they need for treating
Chest patients next year. The budg-

Even before the discussions, how
ever, hospital leaders have discussed
the wisdom of a separate fund drive

able to meet demands.

By Julia Gordon

Has the thought ever come to
you why do | cry? Or why do l
laugh?
Did you just say to yourself
its just nature, an instinct meant
for humans to express their in
ward and outwardly emotions?
That was my opinion something
/ took for granted. 1t is true
however. But psychologists have
more full and detail material con-
corning our different emotions.
To me it was just a mere happen
ing for humans but to them it is
something more than a mere hap
pening.
Crying is a means of relieving
our inner tensions. Grief, love an
ger may fill US with woe. But a
mixture of feelings starts the tears
rolling. When a burden of fear or
grief becomes to great, tears bring
relief. Crying lets go of the en-
ergies which gather inside us
when we are under emotional
strain. We weep only when a dis
tressing situation takes on some
redeeming aspect. When a sad
movie has a happy ending, we,
may choke with feeling and dab
our eyes.
Women by nature are not more
fearful than men. But crying i'm
plies an appeal for sympathy. 1t
shows weakness and dependence,
traits that we regard as feminie.
Girl babies cry NJ more than boy
babies. But sacial pressure is
brought to bear on the boy as he
grows, and he learns to stifle
grief. But crying, whatever it's
cause, is an important human pro-
cess which eases our inner emo
tons or conflicts.
Laughter results from a mix
ture of emotions. Besides a light
hearted feeling, the must be an
element which is opposite in ma.
ture. We laugh because we are
happy about something or sur.
priced, and alarmed. The isimlar.
ity between laughing and cryine
lies in this interplay of elements
In crying, the feeling anxiety may

dominate. In laughing the pleas
urable element of playness is up
permost.
