tics: 80 per cent Of all Is and
10 year old girls are married;
4S.l per cent Of all first brides

2. The median age Of mar
rage for Women In the United

In Detroit

DETROIT, Sept. 6 (AP).-
Striking newspaper pressmen
voted at a meeting presided
over by international union
officers last night to end a walk
out which led to a three-day
shutdown Of Detroit's three
major dailieS.

sentative Anthony Deandrade
announced the vote as unani-
nous.
None of the three papers,
the morning Detroit Free Press
and the afternoon Detroit News
and Detroit Times, published
today. However all arranged to
publish regular Sunday edi-
tons.
Freshmen walked of the job
at the Free Press Wednesday,
causing the paper to miss all its
Thursday editions. The News
and Times suspended publica-
ton Thursday. Spokesman for
the papers said they have an
understanding that q strike
against one is a strike against
all.
Union Spokesman said the
walkout was in protest of Free
Press firing Of a union steward.
The steward was reported dis
missed when he counter
manded a foreman's order fix
ing lunch periods. Mr.. Dean
drade said the union had agreed
to submit the firing to arbi-
tration.
The union decision to re-
turn to work followed closely
the filing of a 81 million dam
age suit against Local Is by
the Free Press.
Charging Local IS with con-
tract violation, the suit in
United States District Court
also sought damages of $150.000
a day as long as the strike
lasted. The Free Press filed
the suit yesterday.

The District Health Depart

a controversial stand on wash
basis in delicatessens and res
taurants.
Peter Frank, owner of a new
delicatessen, Franks Carry-Out
Shop, at 17l2 Fourteenth street

from the Board Of Appeals and

Dr.. Sheppard
Loses Again

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept. 6
(AP)-Another gate has swung
shut on DR.. Samuel H. Shop
pard in his fight for freedom
from Ohio Penitentiary. He is
serving a life term for the 1854
Staying of his wife Marilyn.
Chief Justice Carl v. Wey-
gandt of the Ohio Supreme
Court denied the 36-year-old
Cleveland osteopath a writ of
habeaS corpus yesterday. If
granted, the writ would have re-
quired Warden Ralph w. Avis
to show why DR.. Sheppard
should remain in custody.
DR.. Sheppard's attorneys say
they'll carry the fight to other
courts, but what action they'll
take hasn't been made clear.
They previously indicated they
would carry the fight into U. s.
District Court if Judge Wey-
gandt turned them down.
Judge Weygandt held an in
formal hearing on the applica-
ton Tuesday. In his statement
disallowing the application yes
terday. he said DR.. Sheppard
was convicted in a trial court
having jurisdiction over both
person and subject matter. and
the Judgment of that conviction
was reviewed and affirmed.
DR.. Sheppard, convicted of
second-degree murder, has
claimed all along that bushy-
haired intruder fatally bludg-
eoned his pregnant wife Mari
Ign before dawn of July 4, 1854.
He said the intruder knocked
him out in fleeing DR.. Shop
