Strikers Defy
Seizure Order

ST. LOUIS. Oct. u (R.-
Striking AFL bus and streetcar
operators today loudly and over
whelmingly shouted against
pleas by their leaders for an
end to their day-old transit
walkout here.
The vote was by voice, not
ballots.
Union leaders had urged the
men to return to their jobs and
abide by a State law under
which the utility was seized yes
terday. eight hours after the
strike began, on orders Of Gov.
Phil M. Donnelly.
Reporters, permitted to attend
the meeting at one stage. said
only four members stood up
when leaders asked who wanted
to go back to work. The four
were loudly booed.
The union leaders had noti-
fed Gov. Donnelly last night
that they would urge members
to return to their jobs, but under
protest. They said then they
didn't know what the reaction
of the operators would be.
Next Step Uncertain
Under the, King Thompson
Act, giving the Governor power
to seize and operate the utility,
it is clear that any union men,
Der refusing to return could lose
his seniority with the conipapy,
The Governors agent daniel
c. Rogers, the State Mediation
Board chairman. has authority
to hire anyone he wishes to help
run the utility.
The law also provides for a
$4,000 daily penalty against a
union which remains on strike
after State seizure and 81, 900
penalties against union officials
taking part in such a walkout.
Strike Came Suddenly
Thousands started to work
yesterday morning, unaware the
strike was on. The strike was
voted Monday night, operations
of the st. Louis Public Service
Co. came to a halt about mid
night and the Governor later
issued the seizure order In tele-
grams to the utility and the
union.
The union involved Is Local
788. AL Amalgamated Associa-
ton Of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees.
The union members Monday
night rejected an offer to grant
10 l2-cent hourly pay increase in
three installments, 3 cents Of it
to be retroactive to March /,
when the old contract expired.
The union had asked . 26-cent
hourly boost.

Senator Butler, Republican. of
Maryland. is suggesting some
place in Maryland as the new
home for the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.
Contrary to reports, he says
the field is wide open as to the
new location for the hush-hush
agency. He made this declara-
ton after comforting yesterday
with Col. u K. White, deputy
director of the CHA.
Meanwhile, Represe NATIVE
Landlord, Democrat, of Mary
land today said he.was surveying
sites CHA could build on in his
5th district in nearby Maryland.
He said the survey would be fin
ished by Monday. when he will
submit a report to CHA.
Reports have indicated that
location in Southwest Washing
ton or in nearby Virginia was
being considered.
After talking with Col. White,

With the exception Of cancer.
DR.. Kotin said he and his re-

health of test animals. This
contradicts the opinions of some
scientists that smog damages the
respiratory system.
There were no consistent
biological changes In animals
subjected to up to 10 times the
maximum known concentration

the animals with impaired re-
spiratory systems showed no Ill

and then returned to nearby
tavern, where he had been drink

Emmitt said a businessman
had paid him SIS to get rid of
the rubbish but had cautioned
\ him against burning it.
Mr.. Fertile said he would rec
ommend that Emmitt, who lived
at the hotel, be charged with
involuntary Nansluaghter. After
an inquest earlier yesterday,

TO. I Lung Cancer Cause
Is Smog, Study Indicates

PASADENA. April 20 R.-
Smog is the greatest single cause
Of lung cancer. says top re-
search scientist in the field of air
pollution and its relation to pub
lie health.
Atmospheric pollution holds
the answer to lung cancer more
than any other single agent, :"
DR.. Paul Kotin. University of
Southern California patnologist,
told the third national air pol
luton symposium yesterday.
His connecting smog with
lung cancer climaxes more than
four years of experiments with
thousands of animals under a
United States Public Health
Service grant. DR.. Kotin, 80,
and his research team conducted
the experiments at the use
Medical School and the Los
Angeles County General Hos
pital.
Cites Accumulative Effect
The scientist said the study
showed that smog has a pro-
longed accumulative effects" as
a tumor inducer.
I'VE have no concept Of the
dosage of smog required" he
added. But feel that the
amount encountered during an
ordinary siege in many cities
may be too much"
His experiments have all been
with animals subjected to arti.
ficially created smog.
The pollutant which is the ir-
ritant causing the cancer, he ex-
planned. is at least one type of
hydrocarbon in the oxidized
state. Hydrocarbons are found
in auto exhausts. industrial
emissions and in gasoline va
porS.
New Tests Planned
His conclusions will be the
basis for new experiments aimed
at detecting which hydrocarbon
is guilty. and what chemical
state it is in when it does the
damage. he said.

With ruin already at hand.
Blick scraped together $4,000 to
bet on a race horse he had rea-
son to feel would win at heavy
odds. Mrs. Blick accompanied
him to Laurel.
When Blick approached the
$50 window, two men were just
ahead of him. One was Cy
Cummings, / president Of the
track. and the other Walter
johnson. the immortal pitcher.
They were talking in low
tones. "sBlick said. "but ! heard
Cummings mention the name of
their horse and say, Walter. we
just can't lose
IT got to thinking that Cy
should know what he was talk
ing about and suddenly I de-
cided to switch to their horse.
II went back to Evelyn. but
didn't say anything about the
switch"
Blick's original choice won the
race.
my wife turned to me excit-
edly," Blick said, land threw her
arms around my neck and kept
saying, oh, Daddy. Daddy,
you've won at least $4,000!
Just think what it means"
Blick grinned.
Before this" he went on, Il
thought l had hit bottom in
misery. But now l really knew
what misery was. Not just be-
cause I lost the bet, but because
of my wife. I told her the truth,
and she was dead game, just as
she's always been"
George Marshall, like many
other Washingtonians, admired
Blick as a promoter and liked
him as personality.
The Redskins president summed
UP lot when he said yesterday:

CrozyIegs Hirsch Says CGnch
Is Toughest Part of Movie Job

ton after his football days were
over always has been to be a
sportscaster. He's made that,
both on television and radio, but
never in his life, he says, had he
ever considered movies.
Hall Bartlett called me and
told me he wanted to do a movie
on me-" Hirsch said. Il laughed
at him. But we got together,
got the money up and I still
laughed. I was laughing until
we started shooting"
Hirsch stopped laughing when
the returns started coming in.
"Crazylegs-All American" was
a startling success. The ex-foot-
ball star from Wausau, Wis, now
has a five-year contract.
Hirsch lives with his wife and
5-year -old son in what he calls
a modest home in a modest
neighborhood in Van Nuys, Calf.
His parents are still back in
Wausau, where his father is
rounding out 40 years as an iron
worker.
Their sons movie exploits fail
to excite the Hirsches, however.
when 'Crazylegs' came to
Wasau," Elroy said. "all they said
was, Sure nice to see you in the
movies, son. Things don't excite
them much"
Hirsch, who played his college
football at Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, said his biggest thrill in II
years of playing football came in
his very last game last season
when Los Angeles fans presented
him with a car and the young
sters mobbed him, tearing of his
clothes.
But maybe Crazylegs hasn't
seen anything yet. Bartlett. who
releases his films through War;

Hirsch in a series of Westerns.
