The freighter returned here

The Jessen was forced to tie

Railroad Conductors
Delay Strike Action
Until After October |
BY The Assoeietsd Press

A threatened strike OF railway
conductors, called for September
10. has been averted until after
October l at least,
After three days of confer
ences with the National Media
ton Board and railroad officials.
the union late yesterday agreed
to cancel the September 10 strike
call and to POSTPONE negotiations
on its demand for new wage
scales until after october /.
All Contracts Expire.
That is the date on which a
moratorium against contract de-
mands by all of the rail unions
expires. Some of the other big
railway workers unions are eX-
pected to present new demands
then and there may be series
of strike threats this fall.
The conductors, who claim
$4,000 members. had contended
their wage demands were left
over from previous negotiations
and were not banned by the
moratorium. which in the case of
some workers has been in effect
for nearly three years.
The conductors want a new
pay scale graduated to the rela-
tive size of locomotives. The
engineers and firemen already
have such a system. which gives
them higher pay while working
on trains with more powerful To-
comotives.
Use Three Methods.
Mediation Board officials now
have three methods of trying to
settle the conductors dispute
with railroad operators.
One is through mediation. or
trying to persuade the parties
to reach an agreement on their
own. Another is arbitration, or

assigning a neutral party to
make binding decision. The
third is to ask President Eisen-
hover to appoint an emergency
board.
The Railway Labor Act pro-
videS that an emergency board
will consider arguments from
both sides and then recommend
a settlement. Neither side would
be compelled to accept the rec~
commended settlement, but a
strike would be prohibited for 80
days thereafter.

Sunday, we motored up to see

Montebello and feast our eyes
on brooks and rainbows ready
for stocking, meanwhile chatting
with Willie Seaman, who is in

quite a sight to see these husky
trout, many Of them scaling bet

that eventually they will find
themselves in one of Virginia's

It is well worth the trip up
there and the trout will make
the palms of any anglers hands
itch to feel one at the end OF
rod and line.
A telephone call from Capt.
Otis Bridges advises us that
some nice rockfish are now being
taken over in the mouth of the
Miles River, which is Eastern
Bay water. A few are caught
cumming but most are taken
trolling early in the morning.
Capt. Bridges telephone number

an anglers skill any one could
wish for. All of us met with fair
success but kept few fish. Per-
sonally we caught nine but re-
leased six of them, keeping none
under 10 inches. The others did
likewise. We feel the fun and
relaxation we had were sufficient
without feasting too heartily off
brookies.
We cooked our evening meal
of steaks and trimmings outside
the park and met a sight that
did our hearts good. An ex-
serviceman with his wife and five
children had opened the season
that day too. The mother and
father had taken the children
out of school for the occasion
and also brought the dog along.
All of them were camping out
over night. intending to fish the

nice trout and were cooking
them over the evening campfire

ing until sundown. It was a

he's being considered for the e
mile, and Coach Frank Sevigne
says he probably won't make up
his mind about Cappy's events
until just before the meets.
The only collegiate mile faster
than Cappy's 4:07.8 this spring is
an unofficial 4:06.7 by Yves San
tee of Kansas, and that was with
running start in a relay race.
Capozzoli'S time is better than
both the IC-4A record of 4:10.3
by Wade of Yale in 1850 and the
NCAA record of 4:08.3 by Lou
zamperini of Southern California
in 1888. It is close to the Amer
ican collegiate mark of 4:06.7
set by Glenn Cunningham of
Kansas in 1884.
Although Cappy hasn't bet
tered the big 2-mile records yet,
Coach Sevigne thinks he can do
it if he concentrates on that dis
tance in the championship meets.
The IC-4A record is 9:O9.2 by
Horace Ashenfelter of Penn State
in 1949, the NCAA is 9:01.9 by
Don McEwen of Michigan in
1850 and the American collegiate
is 1888 by Don Lash of Indiana

Third Bowler Takes
Title Lead as Two

By Rod Thomas

Frank Guethler and Ray Wat
son met head-on last night in
what promised to be showdown
for the championship of the Dis
trict Major Bowling League,
title many times accompanied
by the areas No. duckpin rank
ing.
But today, at the top of the
all-Star league. with only week
left of the season. stands Rocco
Nocero.
While GuethIer, the country's
foremost southpaw duckpinner,
and Watson seemingly tried to
out-fumble each other, Nocero
shot a set of 420. Guethler and
Nocero. are members of the
champion Glebe team. Watson
rolls with the runner-up Little
Taverns.
With an average of 1925,
Nocero holds only a three-pin
edge over Watson, and Guethler,
who led the field through sew
eral weeks Of the stretch, is
fourth.
MiciOttO Now Big Threat.
In third place is another who
smashed his way squarely into
the title picture last night. Bob
Miciotto of the National Bo-
hemians rolled 422, his second
consecutive big set. to land only
six sticks behind Nocero. Gueth-
Ter is 26 short of the leader.
Thus, perhaps the hottest
scramble in the history of the
all-star league will be in order
when the title goes up for grabs
next Tuesday night.
Even if he doesn't capture the
crown, NOcero has vindicated the
Judgment of the Glebe captain,
Bill Stalcup, and proved the sur
prise of the league.
When Stalcup assembled his
lineup to start the season, Nocero
was his low-average choice. The
league places 615-average limit
on its teams. The choice of
Nocero gave the Globes their
limit. His average was 122. In
such instances a team captain
tries to pick bowler who will
improve. Nocero exceeded Stall
cups highest hopes and one of
the results was a lop-sided cham
pionShip triumph. With the
team title clinched a while back,
the Globes had the satisfaction
last night of beating their closest
rivals, the Little Taverns, 2-1.
