SteeIworkers Accept
Timken Contract
By the Asseeiofed Press

CANTON, Ohio, July 16.-The
CIO United Steelworkers local at
the Timken Roller Bearing plant
here today accepted a company
proposal for Q one-year contract
with wage adjustments for 2,867
workers in the firms five Ohio
plants.
7. w. Abel, union; district d.
rector and chief bargainer, said
it probably means there will be
no strike at Timken's five plants
for at least 80 days. At the end
of that period, the proposal allows
new discussions on wages, pen
sions and insurance.
He said the other units are
expected to go along with the
Canton local. Timken employs
about $4,000 workers.
The vote was at a mass union
meeting. Mr.. Abel said about
1000 attended, with only seven
dissenting.
The locals negotiating commit
tee had recommended the pro-
posal be accepted.
The union had asked a 15-
cent hourly pay hike and a $50
monthly retirement pension. The

Alabama Grand Jury
Rec1esses as Member
Is Linked 10 KIan
by the Assoeiated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 16.-
The grand jury investigation OF
hooded mobs was recessed for six
weeks today without additional in
dictments.
One member of the jury. Alex
ander Brewis of Gardendale. Ala,
was identified by Judge George
Lewis Bales as a former member
of the Ku Klux Klan.
Judge Bales did not act, how
ever, on a request by the jury fore
man that all its members quail
fications to serve be checked.
The Judge said tests of Qualifi-
cation were made" when the jury
was organized Monday and no fur
ther test was necessary. He added
that Mr.. Brewis would be excused
from cases involving the Klan, but
will continue to serve on other
cases.
Review in Contempt Case Refused.
That would leave only Is
Jurors, since another member had
been excused permanently because
of a court conviction several years
ago. A jury quorum is II.
The jury this week heard from
William Hugh Morris. director Of
the Federated Ku Klux Klan.
Morris, now In jail on contempt
of court citation for refusing to
produce Klan records for the
previous grand jury, repeated that
refusal.
The State Supreme Court yes
terday refused, by a AZ vote, to
review Morris contempt case.
Hugh Locke. attorney for the Khan
leader. said he would continue
legal efforts to free Morris.
Trials May Begin in September.
The grand jury which preceded
this one returned A indictments
against II men in its investigation
Of masked mob violence. Sixteen
have been arrested on charges
varying from first-degree burg
larry to fiogging while masked, boy
cotting, intimidation of q witness
and neglect Of duty.
Trials of those indicted prob
ably will begin at the fall term of
court, which begins in September
Solicitor Emmett Perry said his
inquiry into the wave of f1oggings,
cross burnings and threats by
masked mobs would continue.
He pointed out that the grand
jury's recess may be ended at any
time sufncient new evidence is un-
covered.
Mr.. Brewis told newsmen he did
not}"want to talk about" his Klan
status. He refused to reply to the
direct question, Are you now a
member of the Ku Klux Klan?"

produces his notes by friction.
However, the hotter the day, the
louder the notes and he never utters
a sound until the temperature is
above II.
The grasshopper, is also day
performer. He cannot leap until
the temperature reaches 80 degrees
and it must be Al before he can fly.
When the temperature is as low as
81 he remains quiet, but let 1t soar
and so does he physically and
musically.
Some of the insect chorus hum
or buzz. The chirpers are more
methodical and clear. 1t is a good
game for the outdoors. Scores can
be kept comparing the chirper's
registering of the heat with a ther-
mOmeter.
Evening star., 1949-09-10
Insect Thermometers.

If you wish to know how hot it Is,
consult one of the members of the
insect chorus. You can learn to
clock the chirps and know with
almost exact certainty the tempera-
ture of the air.
One of the best-known chirpers
is the snowy tree cricket, often
called the temperature cricket be-
cause it is a steady singer on sum-
mer evenings. This chirper is as
well known for his thoughtful habit
of providing his lady love with a
sweet. He raises his wings high so
that she can creep up behind him
and "pick his pockets" His chirp
is often mistaken for that of the
tiny tree frog, who is a hot-night
singer.
To obtain the temperature you
count the chirps made in IA seconds
and add a. Or count Is seconds
and add 40 according to DR.. Frank
Lutz's carefully worked-out for
mula.
The large shiny black field cricket
though a chirper of note is likely
to go absent-minded on you and
miss a chirp or two. However, to
remedy this defect, count the chirps
made in seven seconds, double the
number and add 49,
Western crickets give us the tenn
perature all summer through the
night as long as the temperature
remains above SIS degrees. If you
have been tossing about unable to
sleep because of the heat and his
chirping, his sudden silence means
the air is cooler.
From observance this cricket uses
the same broadcasting station every
evening. You can set up a thermo-
graph Ga continuously recording
thermometeD about "a inches from
where the sound comes and get an
accurate recording of the chirps.
Another heat wave announcer is
