denied that white persons were

that Young Washington is NOV

reasons high real estate ex-
penses, the lack of adequate
housing, the desire to obtain
the vote-not because of any
racial fears"
When questioned about pro-
gress in school desegration, Mrs.
Butcher remarked, 'More than

schools are integrated now. The
process is proceeding smoothly
and we'll, as it should in a de-

Police Interrupt
Station Seufhe
At Windermere

A noisy argument and scuffle in
the Windermere Rapid Transit ter
minal early Sunday morning ended
when East Cleveland police appre-
hended two men responsible for
the disturbance and turned them
over to Cleveland authorities.
John Hunter, "a, and John
Wheeler, so, both of Cleveland,
embroiled in a heated controversy
and cheek-biting episode in the
station here, had started their dis
agreement aboard an eastbound
bus, over the whereabouts of sum
of money belonging to Wheeler,
according to police.
Taken to the East Cleveland sta
ton, Wheeler accused Hunter of
stealing $38 from his wallet while
he was sleeping on the bus. Hunter
at first denied, then later admitted
taking the money, stating he only
did so for purpose Of safekeeping.
Further questioning led to an ad-
mission by Hunter that he had no
intention of returning the sum,
police said.
In the meantime, Hunter, who
is on parole from Mansfield Re-
formatory for burglary and lar
ceny, received a bite on the cheek
from Wheeler, as part-payment for
his thoughtfulness. Wheeler has
his $38 back in his wallet, and both
men at last report, are enforced
guests of the city of Cleveland.

Rec Department
Adds New Small
Fry Equipment

Catering to the recreational
needs of the pre-school set, several
new prize pieces of small fry play
ground equipment are ready for
use in Forest Hills Park.
The new play area is located
approximately midway between
the lake, the number four baseball
diamond, and the picnic section
west of the boat house.
Ordered and installed as a fol-
low-up of a proposal made at a
recent East Cleveland Commission
meeting, it is intended for small
children only.
The four pieces selected by the
City Recreation Department in
clude regular swings, kindergart-
en- swings, a hobby horse swing
set, a medium-sized slide, and a
climb-a-round.
The Service Department will
now open the pedestrian gate on
Lee rd., just south of the entrance
to the parking lot near Brewster.
This will permit children from the
Forest Hill development to enter
the park without going through
the parking lot.
Superior Hill section already
has a complete and well-equipped
play spot near Eddington I'd.

for $4,000, is the largest single
suggestion award ever made in
the country.
Rogers suggested new method
of rolling and processing strip
steel used in automotive bearings.
This brought him a reward in
excess of $4,000. Previously he
was presented with a check for
$1,168 for a suggestion on new
rolling equipment being supple
mented by modified parts from
obsolete machinery.
The two awards together added
$10,299 to his earnings"
The Cleveland Graphite plan
calls for the employee to receive
25 percent of the first years saw
ings resulting from his suggestion.
Rogers has been employed by
Graphite for some 20 years.

Preview of the city's new limb
clipper shows the operator, How
ard Eller, at left, feeding branches
into the machine, assisted by Ed
Lewis, mechanic, at the right, and
Jim Farinacci, another service di-
vision employee.
East Cleveland's new limb chip
per, an on-the-spot disposal for
discarded tree branches and the
like, goes on the road and into &C.
ton Immediately.
Designed to ease the job of dis
posing old Christmas trees, as well
as limbs, the machine grinds the
branches at the point of collection
and forces the clippings into the
rear end of the attached truck.
Limbs up to a maximum diameter
of four inches can be fed into the
machine.
Clippings then can be hauled di-
rectly to Forest Hill Park to be
used as mulch. Tree trunks, too
large for disposal consumption,
will be deposited in the park
ravine.
Heretofore, repeated truck trips
to the dump for burning were re-
quired to dispose of trees and
limbs, pointed out William B.
Boise, administrative assistant to
City Manager Charles A. Carran.
He also cited the enormous annual
Christmas tree collection alone as
a major economic saving.
The machine, put through its
PAGES in a demonstration test on
Friday, will be operated by the city
service department, under the di-
rection of Joseph Henry, service
superintendent.
1t was purchased by the city at a
cost of $3,089.

Newer owners, not permitted a
license under the new ordinance
freezing issuance of further per-
mits on residential streets, are
limited to two roomers.
This discrimination will be allie
waited by the re-zoning, with the
ego signal" for double family oc-
cupancy, it was pointed out. Con-
version may also be limited by the
cost, which is in the neighborhood
of $4,000, it was stated.
Mr.. Apthorp also emphasized
that there is nothing mandatory
in the new ordinance, that each
owner may follow his own dictates
in the matter of converting, that
it is essentially a question of
neighborhood improvement.
Four Wadena owners who were
present at the hearing expressed
approval of the change. One resi-
dent, representing a Wadena room
ing house owner, expressed dis
approval. In answer to his objec-
tion, it was explained that there
is a definite distinction between
utility Suites" and two-family
homes, that the latter is the sole
provision contained in the new
ruling.
Each request for conversion must
confirm to regulations of the build
ing code, Mr.. Apthorp stated, add
ing that such requests will be con-
sidered separately and on indivi-
dual merit.
Additional items on the agenda
okayed by the commission included
the city budget for 1857 and a C-2
carry-out license for a business
establishment at Beersford and
Euclid ave-, with emphasis placed
on the fact that this is for the
sale of packaged beverages only.
Further legislation enacted Dy
the commissioners is as follows:
Approval of the Keener Co. coal
bid at 1885 a ton, with a small
quantity of Pocahontas at $500
ton Tor limited and specific use,
as the lowest bid for comparable
coal.
Approval Of the international
Salt Co. bid at $13.40 a ton by rail,
$14.70 per ton by truck, repre-
senting an increase of 70 cents a
ton over last year.
"Aye" vote for erection Of four
way stop signs at the intersec-
tions of Brewster rd. and Mt. Ver-
non blvd. and at Henley and New
berry rds. in the Forest Hill de-
Certification of two bond issues
for improvements of city hall
buildings and parks and play
grounds to the board of elections
to be placed on the November bal
lots.
Endorsement Of payment Of
$241.41 as East Cleveland's share
of the expert consulting service for
gas company negotiations, as pro-
rated over the northern Ohio area
involved.
P.S. on the Wadena ave. hearing:
One of the high spots was the
introduction, made to the gathered
spectators, of one of the streets
oldest and most distinguished citi-
zens. Ninety-years-young, Mr.. Carl
was presented to the
audience by his son, Grant, city
finance director.

Wadena Rezoned.
Commission Okehs
Two-Fami|y Units

Official stamp Of approval was
placed on the re-zoning of Wadena
ave. at last weeks meeting of the
East Cleveland City Commission.
Thus the way is cleared for
conversion of single-family dwell
ings to two-family residences by
property owners desiring to do so.
A poll of the Wadena owners,
conducted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals, which had recommended
the change, reveals that of the AZ
families listed, 27 were in favor
of conversion, IL opposed and 3
could not be contacted.
The city reiterated it's stand on
the proposal, as made at previous
discussions, that its sole interest
lay in the betterment of the neigh
borhood.
An opinion that two family
houses, over a long-range period,
appear to be preferable to room
ing houses was expressed by City
Finance Director Grand Apthorp
during the hearing, when he en-
phasized that the Wadena change
does not create a so-called "sland,"
inasmuch as adjacent streets, in
cluding Brightwood are already
converted.
Also emphasized was the fact
that all property owners will not
convert. Several Of the older resi-
dences, licensed as rooming houses,
no doubt would continue in their
present status.

-Four Firemen
Are Injured In
Paint Can Blaze

Four firemen were injured and
burned last Thursday afternoon,
when fire from spontaneous COM
bustion from paint cans spread
swiftly to bottled gasoline in a
garage at 1907 Lakefront ave.
The blaze, which started about
1:30 p. M, streaked instantaneous
ly from the burning containers of
paint to the opposite side of the
garage, where glass jars of gaso-
line were stored. Firemen were in
jured by the flash fire when the
jars exploded. Flame demolished
the garage.
Casualties of the fire were Lieut..
Burt Skeel, first degree burns on
the face; Firemen Michael Felice
and Theodore Martaus, both Sec
ond degree burns on the neck, and
Fireman James Mccarthy, broken
finger. None, however, required
disqualification and, after treat
ment for their injuries, are now
back on duty.
Tenants on the Lakefront ave.
property are Robert Liddy and
Henry Wills. Owner is Gertrude
Voss of Eddy rd.
Fire Chief Fred w. Lange, in
commenting on the incident, eau
toned against careless and dan
gerous storage of inflammables in
direct violation of state laws. No
glass containers, he warned, are al
lowed for storage of gasoline or
any other forms Of petroleum COM
bustibles.
