Rover Wants Addicts to Know
They Can Get Free Treatment

to United Community Services
for transmission to the family
agencies. to the medical societies,
psychiatric groups, mental hy-
giene groups, the Public Assis-
lance Division of the Depart
ment Of Public Welfare and to
the bar associations.
One Of the reasons the addict
law has been used SO sparingly,
according to police and prosecu-
tors, is that addictS who do not
want to volunteer or treatment
disappear before they can go
through the civil processing. Mr..
Rover said a working arrange
ment was set up at the confer
ence whereby the police or Fed
eral Bureau of Narcotic agents
who locate the addicts win as
sist the United States marshal
in finding them when they are
summoned into court.
Under this procedure, Mr..
Rover said. Assistant United
States Attorney Kitty Frank, who
has been assigned to the addict
cases, will notify the police or
the Federal narcotics agents
when summons are issued. He
said the police or the agents who
know where the addicts hang out
will then accompany deputy mar

treatment without a criminal
record under the Districts new
addict law. and United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover wants
their families to realize this.
Mr.. Rover, after a conference
late yesterday on the operation
of the addict law, said he will
attempt to reach the families OF
addicts through organized groups
of doctors, lawyers and psychia-
triStS.
Mr.. Rover, disturbed by the
little use made of the addict law
since 1t went into operation in
May. held the conference yester-
day with all the officials who
have something to do with max
ing the law work. He said he was
convinced, after the session, that
if parents realized their loved
ones could get free treatment
without noteriety or a criminal
record. more of them would vol

It was decided to send letters
emphasizing the rehabilatative

Official Vote Check
In Baltimore Sends

BY the As,oeioied Pres,

BALTIMORE. Nov. 'o.-The
official canvass Of returns from
last Tuesdays election appears
to have upset two Democratic
victories in Baltimore's 4th Leg
islative district and put two more
Negroes in the General Assem-
bly,.
Republican Harry A. Cole, Ne
gro assistant attorney general,
apparently unseated State SEN
ator Bernard s. Melnicove, DEM
ocrat, of Baltimore. and Emory
Cole, also a Negro Republican,
was reported to have been elect
ed to the House of Delegates.
Upset Narrow Lead.
Unofficial returns previously
showed Mr.. Melnicove the win
ner of the Senate race by 1872
votes and Milton H. F. Saul the
winner Of the sixth spot on the
House of Delegates list.
The Baltimore Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors was expected to
post the official results today
after it counts absentee service
mems ballots and completes a
check of the voting machine fig
ures. It was believed that there
were not enough absentee bal
lots to change the results of the
official machine canvass.

Election of the two additional
4th district candidates would
give the Republicans Is seats in
the House of Delegates and
eight in the State Senate.
Associates of the two candi-
dates said Mr.. Cole picked up
1872 votes in the canvass, more
than enough to wipe out Mr..
Melnicove's unofficial margin.
Mr.. Coles election would make
him the first member of his

Official Post
BY REX THOMAS

PHENIX CITY, Ala. (R A
young physician rode into office
here yesterday in a City Commits
sion election hailed by anti-vice
crusaders as a roaring protest
from the people against racketeer
rule in Phenix City.
DR.. Clyde M. Knowles Jr., who
had the support of the racket
busting Russell Betterment Assn,
was elected to the three-man Com
mission with majority of al
most 2 to l over the combined vote
of four opponents.
Armed National Guard troops
stood watch at each voting place
throughout the day and escorted
election officials to City Hall where
the ballot boxes were turned in aft
er the polls closed.
Gov. Gordon Persons ordered the
guardsmen to police the voting
places to prevent a recurrence of
past elections which repeatedly
brought complaints of wholesale
ballot frauds.
Complete but unofficial returns
gave DR.. Knowles 1900 votes
against a total of 1850 for the
other candidates.
Runnerup was Judge John Free
man of the Russell County Inferi-
or Court, who polled GAL votes.
Grover F. Harden was third with
153, followed by Tom Corley with
123 and w. H. Marlowe with 80.
The winner succeeds veteran
Commissioner A. L. Gullatt, who
declined to seek reelection after
% years in office. The other two
commissioners, Mayor Elmer
Reese and DR.. Seth Floyd, weren't
up for election this year.
DR.. Knowles is chief of staff at
the city-owned Cobb Memorial Hos
pital.

Truck Go. Head
Shuts Down In
Labor Dispute

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. P-John B.
(Jack) Cole, president of the
American Trucking Assn, today
kept the major freight line he built
from one truck back in 1888 shut
down because of a stubborn labor
dispute.
Cole and the AFL Transfers
Union are deadlocked over his pro-
posal that his drivers agree 10
elimination of pay they now re-
ceive during breakdowns and lay
overs.
Cole said his company is in fl
nancial difficulties and this action
would help the line get back on
its feet. The proposal was turned
down by the union.
''Non-productive pay" said
Cole, accounts for between 20 and
Is per cent of the Jack Cole Co. s
$500, 600 monthly payroll.
The union drivers offered to lend
the company 20 per cent of their
pay for the next six months. Cole
rejected the offer because 1--WE
didn't need to borrow money, we
needed to make it."
"As far as Pm concerned Pm
not going to operate unless l can
make money" the company presi-
dent declared.
He said drivers were being paid
off as fast as they presented their
trip orders and other claims.
M. r. Sherman, business agent
of Transfers Local 612, had said
yesterday that about so per cent
of the drivers hadn't received their
pay. He said some of them were
looking for jobs with other firms.
Cole halted operations of his line
Thursday.
The Jack Cole Co., which its
president said crossed about six
million dollars year, began oper-
atoms in 1888 with one truck, and
with a small garage for headquar-
tiers. It was incorporated the next
year.
The line has about 400 drivers
and 500 pieces of equipment. Cole
operates in 20 states and has term
inals in New York, Philadelphia,
Akron, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincin-
natl, Indianapolis and Chicago.

Top Cast Seen
In "Stalag II"
AT The Monroe

"Stalag IT," the powerful COM
edy melodrama concerning Amer
lean prisoners-of-war in Germany
during World War II, was cheered
and h0nored as a Broadway stage
play for three solid seasons. Now
Billy Wilder, one of Hollywood
most abe and versatile film crafts
men, has made this wonderful hit
into a motion picture. Retaining
its original title and starring AGA
deny Award winner william Hol-
den, Don Taylor and Otto Premin-
ger with a featured cast that con-
tains many of the stage actors who
contributed so greatly to the plays
startling success, "Stalag II" is
due to open Thursday at the Mon
roe Theatre.
AS released through Paramount
Pictures, with Billy Wilder hand
ling both the production and direc-
torial reins as well as collaborat-
ing with Edwin Blum on the screen
play, "Stalag II" is the tensely
dramatic, yet hilarious story of a
group of airmen interned in a Ger
man prison camp. 1t concerns the
men of barracks four" and their
efforts to learn the identity of the
1nformer amongst them who they
know is reporting all of their plans
to Preminger, the notorious camp
commandant. Prime suspect is Hol-
den, cynical sharp-tounged G. l.,
who spends most of his time bar
gaining and bartering with the
Krauts.
Surrounding this basic plot are
the hilarious antics of the men as
they improvise simple pleasures to
while away their endless hours. The
ingenious methods they use to
break the monotony of the days as
well as the excitement engendered
in their attempts to harass their
captorS repeatedly makes for a
boisterous, roiSterous and suspen-
seful two hours of film entertain
ment. All of the raucus doings OF
the captives, however, are under
lined by the tenseness of the sit
uation involving the identity OF
the traitorous informer who is
living as one of them.

bailed out successfully.
"You can be sure there was
plenty of praying going on" said
the Rev. Lertis r. Elicit of Lawn
dale, Calf, Church of Christ, who
Is an Air Force reserve colonel.
This was an occasion when,
doubly. we were practicing what
we preach namely, prayer" said
the Rev. Neville e. Carlson of
Fillmore, Calf.
1.-The Lord was with us in many
ways, even to the fact that the
fire in one engine was on the right
side of the plane and the door
through which we jumped was on
the left" said the Rev. Bertil Won
Norman of the West Hollywood
Presbyterian Church.
The group of Civil Air Patrol
chaplains from Southern California
left Burbank at 1903 pm. (PDT)
in the CAS-, bound for a regional
CAP chaplains' conference at Sac
ramento scheduled for last night
and today.
The plane crew included the
pilot, Capt. Thomas E. Wilson,
North Highland, Calf; 1t. Earl
w. Meredith Jr., Sacramento, and
Sgt. Lloyd Plew, Globe, Ariz., all
stationed at McClelland ALB,
Sacramento.
The chaplains and crew were
wearing back parachutes and had
been briefed before take-off but
none of the ministers had ever
jumped before.
Minutes after the departure,
smoke began trailing from the
GAG. Vibration was felt in the ship,
then the right engine caught fire.
AS 1t. Meredith and Sgt. Plew
carried the pilots instructions to
the chaplains to bail out at about
5000 feet, the right engine fell
away. Mr.. Won Norman, a CAP
major, was credited by his col
leagues with calm heroism as he
helped the chaplains adjust their
'chutes and shepherded them out
the door. He was the last chap
lain to bail out. The crew followed,
with Capt. Wilson the last to jump
when the ship was probably no
more than 1000 feet up just west
of the Los Angeles Police Rehabili-
tation Farm for Alcoholics at
nearby Saugus.
The plane crashed and burned
on the farm, only IS feet from
where the nearest inmates were
working.
A half dozen of the chaplains
suffered cuts or bruises, wrenched
legs or shoulders but none was
seriously hurt.
