TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 31.-Archie
Heron, who twice survived death
sentences, died last night in New
Jersey State Prison at the age OF SO.
THE forgotten man" of the prison,
Heron entered the institution In
1908 and for years led the life of a
hermit. His last known visitor was
his son. who came to visit him soon
after World War I. Heron refused
to see him.
He died without ever seeing q
moving picture or an airplane. Once,
when patient in the prison hospi-
tai, he heard radio. but was awed
by 1t and refused to have it near
him.
Heron was sentenced to death In
1908 for the murder Of the Rev.
S. B. D. Prickett of Metuchen.
The State said he had grudge
against the clergyman, who also was
police recorder of Metuchen. Mr..
PIickett had sent Heron to jeil on
a disorderly conduct charge.
Heron was sentenced to die In
the electric chair by Justice James
J. Bergen. The electrocution was

Z Death Sentences Dies at 80

hxed Tor the week OF September I,
1908.
An appeal delayed execution, but
after his convietiin was upheld.
Justice Bergen sentenced him to die
in January, 1909. But the late Gov.
Franklin Fort, gave him two re-
prieves, and in March, 1909, Justice
Bergen ordered an investigation of
his mental condition.
His order set forth that execution
should be delayed until the further
order of the court"
The insanity plea dragged on for
years. In 1923 Justice Bergen died.
Heron was still in State prison, and
the authorities, pointing to a law
that says the sentencing Judge shall
fix the date of execution, had no au-
thority under which to carry out the
original sentence.
Prison officials said Heron for
years was in q dazed condition. He
refused to 60 into the prison yard

NMU Votes 10 ExpeI
Left-Wing Ex-0fficers
In Conspiracy,C Case
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A men,
bership meeting of the C1O Ma
tional Maritime Union has voted
to expel from the Union three
left wing former officers after a
trial on charges of mishandling
NMU funds and conSpiring to
disrupt the union.
The three are Ferdinand c.
Smith, former national secretary;
Howard Mackenzie, former vice
president, and Paul Palazzi, former
New York Port agent.
Joseph Curran. NMU president,
who filed the charges, announced
the custer vote early today. He
said they could appeal to the un-
ions National Council in October or
at the National Convention. in Sep
tember, 1949.
Democratic Trial. Given.
Mr. Curran said the meeting
voted, 1852 to 523, for the expulsion
after the three former officers were
afforded a very democratic trial"
He said a fve-member Trial Com
mittee, which had heard the
charges, recommended to the meet
ing that the three be expelled.

munist influence in the NMU, re-
Gently led a right-wing slate to vic

Joined Mr.. Curran in filing the
charges.
Reporting on the closed member
ship meeting, Mr.. CuTan told news
men that he spoke for 30 minutes in
support of the charges after the trial
committee reported. Then. he said.
Mr.. Mckenzie and Mr.. PalazA were
allowed 80 minutes each to reply.
Mr.. Smith, a West Indian-born
Negro who is facing deportation as
an alleged alien Communist, was not
at the meeting.
None of the accused was available
for comment.
Mr.. Curran told newsmen after
the meeting that Mr.. Mckenzie and
Mr.. Palazzi had told the members
that they actually were being tried
on charges of communism and also
because they are supporters of Hen
ry A. Wallace's Progressive Party
presidential campaign.
Mr.. Curran said that because of
the limited time available, no action
was taken at the meeting on ratifi-
cation of wage contract negotiated
two weeks ago between the NMU
and large group of Atlantic and
Gulf Coast ship operators. He said
voting in the Port of New York
is running heavily in favor of rati-
f1cation.

Pacific Dock Dispute
Nears Agreement on
Hiring Hall Issue
By The Asseeiotsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 3l.-An
agreement on the hiring hall issue
appeared in sight today but a labor
peace on Pacific Coast waterfronts
still hung precariously as the 1901
am. Thursday strike daedline
neared.
Waterfront employers and the CIO
International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union still were
far apart on the wage question,
among others.
The employers late yesterday
raised their offer cents to 10
cents an hour straight time and is
cents overtime in an effort to fore
stall the threatened walkout, but
the union insisted on 18 cents and
I27 cents.
An ILWU statement said the en-
ployers offer did not provide fol
retroactivity and did not contain
"the usual periodical wage reviews
On the hiring hall issue, the
ILWU said IAN agreement in prin-
cipal was reached"
The employers are considering
language offered by the union
which, if accepted, will remove the
hiring hall as q strike ISSUE" ii
explained.
But an employer spokesman indi-
Gated no change in the employers
attitude that the hiring hall be left
status quo pending court deter
mination of its legality under the
Taft-Hartley Act. This was the
basis of this months East Coast
maritime settlement.
What the Government will dc
when the 80-day Federal cooling
off" injunction expires remained a
question. Jess Rosenberg, special
Justice Department attorney, said
he had asked Washington for In
structions on lifting the injunction.

men announced, their decision to
stop work Thursday still stands.

Airline Contests CAB
On Hawaii Line Award
by the Associated Press


Pan American Always asked the
Civil Aeronautics Board yesterday
to reconsider its decision awarding
Seattle-Fionolulu route to North
west Airlines, complaining that the
award is illegal
The claim of illegality was based
on shifts in the CAB Setup which
leave on the present five-man board
only one member who voted for the
Northwest award.
Pan American recited that the
CAB opinion of March 16, 1948,
showed approval by Harllee Branch
and Josh Lee and a dissent by Os-
wald Ryan. Mr.. Branch left the
CAB on May and by the time
President Truman approved the
findings three months later the
board had been raised to five men,
bers.
The airline argued that any
board action on the matter after
Mr.. Branch quit May l would be
illegal for lack of a majority of a
quorum.
Pan American contended further
that with foreign flag planes sup-
plying one-line service between the
Pacific Northwest and Australia
New Zealand, failure to give the run
to Pan American would place
American carriers at a disadvan-
tage. Pan American flies to the
South Pacific.
Another argument in the petition
is that Pan American, because it
already has terminal facilities in
Hawaii, can fly the route with $37
per passenger less Government sub
sidy than Northwest.
Pan American also contends, in
disagreement with board statistics,
that it can provide more one-car-
rier service over the route than
Northwest.

DuirY Industry Hos
Golden Prospect For
Future In Montdnd

Montana's dairy indstry has
only one way to COUP, and
the prospects for its future are
as golden as its butter, accord
ing to Thomas Al. McMaSter,
chief of the dairy division of
the state department. OF agri-
culture. y
One of the biggest boosts
promised the dairyman is the
huge population increase on the
west coast, offering a ready
market for Montana dairy pro-
ducts. The same population in
crease has proved a boon to
| Montana stockmen.
At present, however, McMaster
said, Montana dairymen can not
take advantage of the hungry
west coast market because milk
production in this state is at
a low ebb. Most of the milk
produced in the state now is
being sold as fluid milk-drink-
in milk, that is-aS the price
for it is better than for milk
sold for butter and cheese.
In 1884 there were about l90,-
600 dairy cows in the state.
Three years ago there were
$4,000. A couple of years ago
there were $4,000. Now there
are about 10000. They are bet
ter cowS-the culls have gone
into hamburger-but they can't
produce the milk Of 10000
cows.
Why so few cows? Well, a lot
of former dairy men have been
lured into the farming or stock
raising business. It's been faster
money with less work. The
manpower situation has been
bad on the. diaries. It's early
rising, long-hour work, and the
cows have to be MIXED every
day in the year.
Butter production is down
about SO per cent in Montana,
but the state still makes almost
enough for its own needs. The
export has been cut down.
Cheese production is way off.
Usually butter and cheese are
made in the spring when there
is more fluid milk available
than needed. Now it's all needed
as fluid milk.
Dairy cows cost an average
of $3.50 now, as against $180 a
year ago, and it takes about
three years to get going in the
dairy business, so it isn't the
right deal for the suitcase spec
ulator. But it has a golden out
look for the real dairyman.
