Curtis Secures
Prison Release

The youngest of two brothers,
William w. Curtis, %, formerly
of Caldwell, who was sentenced
to 25 years in the federal peni-
tentiary in 1899 for his part in
robbing the Lower Salem bank
was released from the Lewis
burg federal penitentiary last
Thursday.
The two brothers, William and
Lawrence, were sentenced ten
years ago in the district federal
court, Columbus, after having
been picked up by the u. S. mar
shall following holdups at the
Senecaville and Lower Salem
national banks. The release from
prison was based on Curtis ap-
plication for a writ of habeas
corpus.
Federal Judge Albert L. Wat
son ruled that Curtis had been
denied his constitutional rights at
the time of the sentence. The
Jurist pointed out that while he
refused counsel, the petitioner
did not competently and intelli-
gently waive his right to have
the assistant of counsel for his
defense"
Although defendant may
plead guilty it is common prac-
tice for the county or state to
appoint legal counsel for the de-
fense even if he does decline such
counsel. Curtis was sentenced to
serve the Is year term when 18
years of age.

Mayor Secresi
Appoints Oliver
Village Marshal
Public Affairs Board
Discusses Purchase Of
Two 500 III. p. Diesels

Jack Oliver, Playground street,
was sworn in as marshall of the
village of Caldwell, Monday eve
ming. The appointment was made
by Mayor Sam Secrest who exer-
cised the powers of his office and
made a temporary appointment,
thereby giving the village police
protection after the office had
been vacant for one week.
1t is expected that the village
council will approve the appoint
ment at their next regular meet
ing to be held August 2. Should
this step be taken Mr.. Oliver
will officially become village
marshal and street commissioner.
Last Tuesday evening the
council created the vacancy when
they rejected the temporary ap-
pointment of William Parry who
has been serving in that capacity
for some time. No mention of
salary increase for the new mar
shall was made at the last coun-
ell meeting, but it is expected
that an increase in the marshal's
pay check will be forthcoming.
Under the present wage scale the
marshal received $25 per month
as such and doubled as street
commissioner for an additional
$55.
Board of Public Affairs Meets
The meeting of the council,
board of public affairs and En-
gineer Paul Elwell, Cleveland,
tentatively scheduled for July IL
was cancelled. Members of the
board of affairs did meet with
Mr.. Elwell, however, and laid
plans to present a system for re-
firing the revenue bonds to the
council for approval at their
August meeting.
The meeting of the council
with the board and engineer was
called off when other commit
ments prevented three council
members from attending the
meeting.
To Purchase Equipment
A member of the board of af-
fairs indicated Tuesday evening
that plans for the purchase of
two new 500 hp. diesel-gas en-
gines are being rushed to COM
pletion. The only other action
necessary by the council to au-
thorize the expenditure of the
proposed $125,000 is their ap-
proval of the system set up for
retirement of the revenue bonds
which must be sold to finance the
deal. Under the present retire.
ment setup, the first bond would
not become due until 1851. This
would permit the board of affairs
to accumulate a surplus fund to
be used in retis ing the bonds and
making necessary repairs to the
plant.

Congress May Yet Pass Alaska Military Bill
By Charles D. Watkins)

WASHINGTON, lPD-Hope that Congress may yet approve at least the Sl3OOOO,OOO Alaske section of a pending military construction program was expressed Saturday by Senator Magnuson D.-WashD and Delegate Bartlett of Alaska.
 The bill, authorizing S613,800,- 900 in projects for the army, navy and airforce, is on the Senate cal endar.
 A similar bill has been apprOv- ed by the House armed services committee but chairman VinSon O.-GaD of that committee has said it will not go before the House at the present session.
 MagnuSon told a reporter Sat urday that chairman Tydings O. MdD of the Senate armed services committee and majority leader Lu- cas D.-IlD. have promised to try to get the bill before the Senate this session.
 Magnuson said Senators Salton- stall R-MassD and Russell O. GaD have told him thtat if the full bill cannot be approved they favor passing the Alaska section separ- ately. SaltonstaH represents the Senate armed services committee and Russell the Senate appropria tionS committee in handling the measure.
 Bartlett said he based his hopes on belief that Vinson probably will withdraw his opposition to the measure.

Steel, Coal And Hawaii Still Out On Strike
By The Associated Press


 One hundred two thousand of John L. Lewis coal miners went back to work today, but 100000 remained on strike as did 513,OOO CIO-steel workers.
 There was optimism voiced that settlement of the l56-day strike of 2,0OO CIO lOngshoremen at Ha- Waii may come soon. Tension re- faxed in Detroit's auto industry as CIO auto workers planned to ap- ply the Ford settlement pattern to Chrysler and other manufacturers.
 Meanwhile, as the AFL cOnven- ton began at St. Paul, Minn., the federatiOn's officers recommended shortening of industry's work day and work week as an immediate economic goal.
 The United Mine Workers sent back to their jobs today by the terSe hint from union headquar- terS that their idleness lis not now vital to the pending wage negOtia- tions" were 8O,00O anthracite Cha-d coatD diggers in Pennsylvania and 22,OOO soft coal miners west of the Mississippi.
 The UNIV battle cry of recent years, No Contract, No Work. apparently was discarded for g limited application of No Pension No Work"
 Contracts applying to all UNIV miners expired during the sum mer, and pension and other vel fare fund payments have been Sus- pended becaus southern coal ope"- ators have stopped paying royai- ties of 20 cents a ton of coal mined to the fund under a no contract, nc royalties policy.
 In the steel strike which hit 5f basic steel plants and 50 iron orc mines Saturday, there were rumor: of new government intervention The White House has indicated that President Truman is standing on his decision of last week that he will take no direct action, how ever. Most lively development would be new efforts by chief government mediator Cyrus Ching to get bargaining sessions under way again.
 The union leaders are adamant in demanding company-paid pen sions and insurance. the compan- ies say they won't agree to a plan that eliminates employee pay ments entirely.
 In the Hawaiian dock strike, employer and union representa- lives held a secret session Sunday, before which Dwight Steele, pres ident of the Hawaii Employers Council, said there is a good chance for settlement" Another meeting was held today.
