Labor Trouble Feared
AT Jamaica, Slated
To Open Thursday
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-Racing is
scheduled to return to Jamaica track
Thursday, opening the States long
est and what may be It's richest
season. Feature of the opening day
card is the $4,000 Paumonok Handi-
cap.
Possibility of labor trouble is the
only dark spot on the program.
Grooms and exercise boys, members
of Local S14, International Brother
hood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Warehousemen and Helpers, AFL,
have given notice they plan to strike
at the most effective moment"
Opening day could be that most
effective moment" There was a
strike by the same group last fall
that lasted four days. It closed
Jamaica for one day. ...
The grooms ask that all stables
sign the "code of honor" evolved
then. It has been signed by some
so stables. Approximately 80 other
owners have not.
Bernard Davis, counsel for the
union, said today that strike STRAIT
egy now was being planned. Michael
j. Kingsley, attorney for approx
mately 80 owners, said that 1--WE
maintain that horse racing is a
sport that comes under the heading
of interstate commerce. Thus the
Federal Labor Relations Board is
the only body that can bring about
permanent solution"
The code was suggested last year
by the Rev. William j. Kelley, New
York State Labor Relations Board
chairman.

augurates 194-day regular program

Turner's Arena this winter will be
put on tomorrow night. Three
8-rounders are booked as cofeatures,
with the lightweight bout between
Herbie (Biff) Jones of Washington
and Ray Kalani Lewis, Hawaii,
probably the top bout.
Other eight heaters have Kid
Alexander of Washington, feather
weight, against Bobby Polowitzer of
Hartford and Walter Roane of Rich
mond, welterweight, against Terry
Gibson of California.
Jones is back in his knockout
form. Since losing to Sonny Boy
West in Baltimore, Biff has chilled
George johnson, frankie Scalp,
Eddie White and Jimmy Parlin.
Lewis will be fighting in Wash
ington for the first time, but his
record shows him as a good oppo-
nent for the Biffer. He lost only
one bout in six last year and this
year has had one draw while win
ming four. Among his victims last
year was Petey Virgin, also one of
Jones victims.
Alexander has been doing well
since his return to boxing late last
year. About the best of his 1947
bouts was a two-round knockout
win over Lee Herald. He. lost to
Red Gaddis here in January bout,
but followed that by chilling Andy
Hayward in the sixth round of a
fight in New York. His opponent,
Polowitzer, was a busy boy last year
with 10 wins, four defeats and three
draws.
Roane, the Richmond fighter, has
fought here once this year, beat
ing Art Bethea of Washington in
eight. Terry Gibson is new.

Sheriff Gets Confession From
Woman Who Passed Tools

the tools for a potential Jail
break-were found in the Ottawa
county jail last Thursday during
a routine check-up, resulting in a
local woman being fined 500 and

discovery was the fact that the
blades had been passed in on May
Sth to Oscar Floro, who on May
5th had walked away from the
court house lawn where he was
working as trusty, only to be
recaptured by the sheriff's men six
hours later at Catawba. Floro is
being held for grand jury action
on a car theft charge.
After discovery Of the hacksaw
and blades last Thursday, Sheriff
Riedmaier picked up Mrs. Edith
Violet Floro, sister-in-law of the
prisoner, and from her secured a
confession that she had passed in
the tools and a bottle of wine about
$50 p. m. on May 8. The articles
were lowered in on a string from
the top section Of the jail windows
where the bars are wider spaced.
In her confession she stated that
Floro had asked her to get them
promising that he would not use
them unless ne got too tough" {

ing. If the sentence proved to be
l to 20 years, he would take it,
but if it turned out to be 5 to 81
years, he planned to use the tools

bought the tools in an Oak Har:

passed them into the Jail. She hac

FLOOD LIGHT FOR
STACK ORDERED
{. of c. Votes 500 For Light
At Water Works to Aid
NavigatOrs

An appropriation Of 500 to put
a foodlight on the waterworks
stack as a boon to navigators en-
tering the local harbor at night
was made by the Chamber of Com
merce at it's meeting Thursday
night, according to Carlton
Schwan, president.
Installation Of such a light on
the stack, to aid navigators in dis
tinguishing the various lights on
the lakefront, has been talked for
some time. Oddly enough, a
craft operated by Louis st. Clair,
who was confused by the lights,
hit the water works crib on the
night the appropriation was voted.
A. r. Emmett has the contract
for installing the floodlight, and it
is to be installed soon.
