ball ace of South Mountain High
School, died Monday during prac-
tice session at the school gym
naSium.
A physician, called by school
officials when the young athlete
collapsed, said he used a resuscita-
tor for 80 minutes but was unable
to revive the youth.
DAWSON, a sophomore at South
Mountain, was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert B. Dawson, 3518 Z.
Wood st.
Investigating sheriff's deputies
said the boys death apparently
was from natural causes. The body
was taken to the county mortuary
for examination by County Medi-
cal Examiner.
FORREST D,arsey, assistant
principal, said Dawson collapsed
about 2:3O pm. during a basket
ball practice session in the gym.
Coach Leon Blevins said he called
the school nurse, Miss Frances Ro-
mano, when Dawson failed to re-
spond. She in turn called DR.. J. w.
Jones.
BLEVINS told officers the Daw-
son boy tainted while the basket
ball team stood near the edge OF
the court as Blevins explained an
out-of-bounds play. Before that,
Blevins said, the entire team had
been participating in warming-up
exercises.
Dawson was termed an above
average student by the assistant
principal and outstanding as a bas-
ketball player by Blevins.
A varsity basketball player last
season, Dawson was among the
teams leading scorers.
Surviving, in addition to his
parents, are four brothers, Rob-
ert Jr., Ray, Roscoe, and. Edward,
and four sisters, Emma, Cargo,
Geraldine and Eloise.

resentment. though he asked
rather sorrowfully: why don't
you answer all the questions?"
I replied that would answer
questions about myself but would
not talk about any other pilot.
He laughed and said: "You don't
have to worry about duplicating
other pilots. We know the
names Of all the other pilots.
We know the commanders. We
know your call signs. In fact we

"It is merely to help you to
show us that you are sincere and

no use trying to lie to us, be-
cause, as said, we can check

I now realized that they were

New Interpreters Arrives.
Next day a new interpreter ar
rived. He was a tall, rather
good -looking fellow in his mid
die SOS who spoke very good
English. I later learned he had
lived In the United States for
several years. His first words
were:
Il am pleased to see you and I
am instructed by my superiors
to tell you that they are happy
with your change of attitude"
Unlike his predecessor, this
fellow was dressed in q military
uniform. His tactics were q lit
tie different. For one thing, he
had somehow managed to get
some information about me.
"How did you leave your Silver
Fox Squadron in North Luffen-
ham?" Il had been with this
RCAF wing in England when I
was placed on exchange with
the United States Air Force
I didn't answer, He indicated
that he knew much more about
me but said that 1t was my duty
to tell him things rather than
for him to tell me. I told him
that I had already made q state

demanded and there wasn't any

OTTAWA.-On the 14th day
after I was shot down over North
Korea, the interpreter came into
the room where ! was being held
in solitary confinement by the
Chinese Communists. He sat
down and began to chat in his
usual manner.
He explained that there were
many different ways of treating
prisoners. that each case was
considered on its merits. My re-
fusal to give them information,
he said, was not favorable to my
self. nor to my family at home
In Canada. Unless changed

deal more harshly with me, he
added. -

The slide, 200-foot long and

Deliveries Resumed
As Long Store Strike
Ends al Pittsburgh
BY the Assoeiossd Press

PITTSBURGH. Mar. 17.-De-
partment store delivery trucks
began rolling today-signalling
the end of a nearly 16-month
long strike at five downtown
stores.
The last remaining pickets
were removed from the stores
yesterday by three small unions.
That cleared the way for the
return to work Of AFL teamsters
and other AFL workers who
walked out at the start of the
strike in November, 1853. !,
The three unions--AFL Office
workers, retail clerks and restau-
rant workers-agreed to lift their
picket lines and negotiate their
differences with management
after their fellow unionists go
back to work. ~.
Until yesterday a small group
of teamsterS had refused to cross
the picket lines set up by the
three unions. The stores said
deliveries would resume at all
five stores affected by the strike
or none.
The five stores - Gimbels.
Kaufmanns, Frank & Seder,
Rosenbaum's and Horne's-con-
tinued to operate as usual dur
ing the strike.
The teamsters and the II
other ALL unions involved in
the walkout were all seeking
improved wages and working
conditions.
Two teamsters' d m a n d S
snagged negotiations for a full
year. The Transfers wanted to
hold on to provisions of their
old contract which gave them
power to say when truck helpers
were needed on delivery trucks

In a settlement reached last
November, the teamsters gave
in on both points. They got
q total Of e1a cents more an
hour. starting when the other
unions returned to work. The
teamsters refused to go back
before other disputes were
settled.
Once the transfers came to
terms with the. stores other
unions began falling into line.
The picketing by the clerks.
Office workers and restaurant
workers was the last barrier.
