Miss Gaffin. a sociology major
from Schenectady, N. Y. regained
her composure soon after arriving
at Emergency Hospital and was
able to describe the tragic end OF
the school picnic to reporters.
I'VE had just finished eating,
she said. When the lightning got
bad, I told the others I was afraid
l had two friends struck by light
ming once, and ever since that
have been frightened of it.
Just as I finished saying I wa:
afraid, was hit. I can't describe
it sort of jumped right off the
bench. It was an awful shock.
felt awfully shaky for an houl
afterward. A short time after
was hit, I got a terrific pain ir
the top of my head"
Terrific Bolt of Lightning"
Miss Gaffin. who said her friend!
told her everything would be al
right" when she complained o.
her fear of lightning, said she was
given oxygen after the arrival Of
the first ambulance.
Miss Fisher was in semi-con-
scious condition for some time
after her arrival at the hospital
She was unable to talk of her ex.
perience. She was standing some
distance from the bench.
Miss Constance Lowell, 10, {
student in the school of music
from Charlotte, N. c., said she wa.
sitting next to Miss Gafin.
The first thing I knew a ter.
rifle bolt of lightning seemed tt
pass between us and I was sitting
on the ground" she said. Il don't
know whether I felt a shock, o.
a bump, or what just felt it
that's all.
II remember just before the
| lightning struck, Miss Gaffin was
remarking about how frightened
she was Of lightning, and how she
wanted to get some safe place.
After / was struck, I walked by
myself to a clear place"
David M. Hall, 81, a senior al
Howard, said that when the storm
started, he and some friends got
in car and drove to Fifteenth anC
U streets NV. to tell the three
buses to come for the students
When they got there, they founc
the buses already had left. They
came back, and found the bolt hac
struck.
THE buses arrived about ter
minutes after the accident" HI

Mr.. Hall said the crowd wa.
orderly, and no panic started aftel
the bolt struck. Some students

others stood in the open.

Plan 10 Use Chemicals
In Dairy SteriIi1ing
Stirs Up Controversy
By MoIeolm Lomborns, Jr.

A bitter fight was shaping up
yesterday over the District Health
Departments proposal to permit
dairy farmers in nearby States
to use chemical as we'll as the
present costly steam sterilization
methods Of cleaning dairy equip
ment.
The proposal. which is to be
aired at a District building hear
ing Thursday. appears TO have
thrown q bombShell in the midst
of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association. which
provides about 80 per cent Of the
city'S milk.
To qualify for a Health De-
partment permit, association
members are required to buy and
install boilers for Steaming their
eouipment--a requirement which
only two other cities in the coun-
try have. according to q District
official.
Would Reduce Cost.
One authority In the dairy buSi-
ness here pointed out last night
that permitting producers to use
chemicals such as chlorine would
reduce the cost of producing milk
for Washington consumers,
Under the present regulation
the consumer is paying the eX-
penSe of steam sterilization" he
declared.
Proponents OF chemical sterili-
Zation-and they include sources
other than in the Health Depart
ment-also cite the fact that
Washington'S water supply is
purified with chlorine and that
diaries. hotels and restaurants
here use chemical sterilization un-
der Health Department auspices.
Proposal Called Surprise.
An Official of the producer asso-
citation said last night the depart
ment proposal had come as "a
complete surprise" He also said
that relaxation Of the present
rigid regulations would certainly
put our producers at tremendous
disadvantage"
There is no necessity for
changing the regulations. There
is sufficient milk now being pro-
duced in this milkshed to supply
Washington II months Of the
year" the official declared.
| He claimed that chemical
sterilization can be done care
leSsly. but there is no chance OF
any slipup in steam sterilization"
! The official disclosed that pro-
duction of milk in the area is
running 10000 gallons a day in
excess of Washington's needs. He
said this was due in a great part
to importation of milk by a group
of four local dairies from areas
outside Health Department juriS-
diction.
/ The importation of, milk from
other than this milkshed is to be
banned June 80.

formation to the (1o49) negotia-
tions under consideration"
The board did say that the
union would have been entitled tc
the 1916 payroll for 1947 contract
disclose the relevancy of such in
negotiations, and the 1947 pay
roll for the 194s negotiations
Thus it laid down a policy that q
union is entitled to payroll names
and figures for a year back, as
well as currently.
In saying that the union should
have received the current 194s
and the 1948 payroll information
the board noted that the expired
contract did not include wage
schedules. It said:
Sc. the negotiations brought
directly into issue the wages be-
ing paid under the 1948 contract
anda disclosure of such wages by
the respondent Company was
necessary to enable the union tc
bargain intelligently.
Rate Is Factor in Studies.
Most certainly the going rate
Is q factor to, be considered by q
union in determining whether OF
not to press or eliminate it's de-
mands for a general wage in
crease. Likewise, current wages
are directly related to the demand
for a minimum.
Without such information
there Is no basis for determining
to what extent. if any, the mini
mum wage would affect any en-
ployes in the (bargaining) unit. -
Further, the information re-
quested for 1948 would enable the
union to ascertain If any wage
inequitieS existed among en-
ployes in the unit and to frame
its contract demands so as to
eliminate any possible discrep-
ancies."
The ruling was made for the
f1ve-man board by a three-mem-
Der panel composed of Chairman
Paul Herzog, James J. Reynolds,
tr., and Abe Murdock. They
agreed on every phase Of the case
except one. Mr.. Murdock wanted
the 1946 and 1947 payroll data
also made available to the union,
but the other two members
thought otherwise.
An interesting Sidelight of the
case was that while it was pend
ing, the company and the union
reached an agreement and the
union applied to have the case
Withdrawn.
The NLRB refused, saying
there was no evidence the COM
pany had given the union the
payroll figures it had requested

being always on balance in the
shift.
Came to Arizona in 1910
Before Arizona became a state
back in 1910, the wide open spaces,
the magic climate, the desert in
bloom between the solitude of the
mountains brought a majestic con-
tentment to the heart of Steam
boat where he remained in the
Valley of the Sun, until his death,
amidst these mountains, helping
the youth of all races, for forty
years to be clean and strong with
dignity and grace of sportsman
ship.
At Madison Square Garden
For many years Steamboat work
ed in many capacities at the Gar
den here in Phoenix, as trainer,
matchmaker, caretaker, doorkeep-
er, etc. He saw his dream for box
ing come true when such fine men
as Joe Louis John Henry Lewis,
Ezra Charles and others, who
reached the top, stop over to pay
their respects to him. Steamboat
realized the good influence these
men have had on the whole world
of sports.
Money Could Not Buy
At his death he leaves no money,
! no fine cars, no real estate. He
possessed no great amount of these
things, yet he paid his way as he
went and never asked relief. The
street car motormen would have to
stop and pause little longer for
him to get on but they didn't mind,
they knew him.
At the Rice Hotel, where he lived
the management speaks lovingly
of the table where he liked to eat,
and of the place in the lobby where
he took his short restful nap after
midday. And down by the rail-
road track mother Mary Lee, says
there will never be another as good
as he. She said Steamboat, lived
there for more years than she can
remember. The boys in the pool
hall and on the streets and in the
parks say he was really fine man
really amazing
And so it be, he achieved some
thing more than money could buy,
by his contribution to the up and
coming youths of the land.
No wonder he went face up and
forward and gracefully even to the
very end to his maker in the great
beyond.
| He leaves no relatives.
