Lost by Damn

DETROIT, Mar. % (AP).-

Judge Theodore Levin today
denied a request to delay the
annual stockholders meeting
of ChrySler Corp, now set for
April 10.

Attorney Sol. A. Damn, who
had sought the poStponement,
had utterly failed to carry the
burden Of proof required Of
him"
The judge also turned down
an amended complaint which
Mr.. Damn filed last night.
The amended complaint dealt
with what Mr.. Damn called
Chrysler's disenfranchisement

Mr.. Damn had announced he
was bowing out as leader Of
what he called a stockholders
fight for their rights.
Mr.. Damn. a persistent critic
OF Chrysler management for
more than two years, said dur
ing yesterdays hearing that he
was resigning as leader Of dis
Sident stockholders.
He said he no longer in
tended Ito be q leader Of any
diSSident stockholders group.
I want someone else to bear
the burden Of this tremendous
responsibility"

If you are a young worker,

explore in advance the oppor-
tunities for your employment.
Half Of Hawaii's civilian popu-
lation is under "a years Of age,
and she could have q major
joblesS problem all on her own
in coming years if she doesn't
do more to train her young, un-
skilled men and women.
Some Opportunities
There are opportunities In
the service industries-for in
stance, for clerks in retail
stores, restaurants, tourist
agencies. A secretary or typist
or industrial nurse or electrical
worker might find splendid OPP
portunities. Most salaries are
comparable to those in main
land cities and wages are rising
faster in Hawaii now than in
other states. But the job situa-
ton is a checker-board; you
must, investigate first with ut
most care.
If your are q small business
man. migrate only If you have
know-how and connections as
well as a cash nestegg. You
might make out superbly well
if you have a program for i'm
porting raw materials and fin
ishing them in Hawaii or if
you connect with a mainland
firm wanting to develop and
distribute in the Hawaiin mar
ket. But If you're just an aver
age small businessman plan
ming to start again in Hawaii,
be warned of the heavy risks.
Mr.. Shoemaker's comment
was blunt: Statehood already
has caused q great migration.
Those thinking of migrating
now should look not just once
but twice and then look again. "
And this is so despite the fact
that Hawaii is in a cycle Of
strong growth.

$4,000 Due
To See CIV
And Citadel
BY DICK SLAY
Star Staff Writer

CHARLESTON. S. c., Sept.
23-Dick Drummond, George
Washington's potentially-great
left halfback, might encounter
his equal as a ball carrier to-
night as CIV and The Citadel
open their Southern Confer
ence football schedules at
johnson Hagood Stadium.
Despite competition from the
Duke-South Carolina game in
Columbia tonight, about $4,000
fans are expected to be present
at the 22.50e-capacity, CITY,
owned stadium. Many will be
attracted by a possible duel
between Drummond and the
Cadets Farley Eastburn.
(The game will be broadcast
in Washington by Station VOL,
starting at 8:45, Is minutes
before kickoff.
Fans of The Citadel believe
Eastburn is the best halfback
in the Southern Conference,
although last week he had
little chance to prove it during
400 defeat at Memphis State.
They point to last year, when
the 180-pound senior gained
500 yards for an average of
5.4 a carry, led the team in
scoring with 38 points and
made second-te all-confer-
ence.
"a threat every time the
Cadets come out of the huddle."
according to his publicity, East
burn is rated a fine broken
field runner. powerful inside
runner and tough on defense.
Citadel scouts came home
from the Florida State game
with reports just as glowing on
Drummond. GW's 196-pound
junior who played his first
game after transferring from
Iowa. Dicks 88 yards gained in
II attempts. plus the 82-yard
kickoff return and one pass
reception for II yards were
sufficient proof of the raves.
The weather has been perfect
all week here since an overcast
Monday, and tonight'S temper
atures were expected to range
between SIS and so degrees.
The forecasterS also rated
the game a pick 'em" contest,
although some observers lean
toward the Colonials as slight
favorites.
CIV came out of the 1877
loss to Florida State slightly
the worse for wear physically.
but buoyed-up by an overall
promising performance.
The Citadel'S drubbing at
Memphis should have been a
serious blow to morale, but
Coach Eddie league said he
was pleased the way the team
reported Monday and buckled
