Mediation board chairman Francis A, O'Neill | Jr., said the longest previous strike was one that ran over 80 days in 1922, It was lost by the unions. The violence-ridden L&N strike started March 14 and crippled all transportation over a 14 .- state Southern area, It has had wide- spread economic effects particu- larly in the coal industry. Both the L&N and the unions had agreed some time ago to ar- bitration, but had differed on how to do it, The unions had insisted that the strike continue while the case was being-arbitrated and not end until the arbitrators’ findings were in- * trict. The school census is g barom- eter for the local board of edu- cation in its finance program- ing for the schools in the years ahead, Forty-one women, many veterans of years and years of school census taking, have been recruited by Paul Allison, director of child ac- eounting and census for the Pon- tiac district. / Allison predicts that at least 2,500 children will be added to the 30,000 plus now on the school census rolls of Pontiac. To make certain, that the child who is deaf and hard of hearing, blind and partially seeing and crippled is provided for in the educational planning, separate sheets will be tabulated by the census takers for these children. Making this tabulation is part of every school district's re- sponsibility.

Find Driver Guilty on Homicide Charge Vincenzo DiDomizio, 60, of 16295 Tracey, Detroit, was found guilty of negligent homicide yesterday by an Oakland County Circuit Court safe. The medical panel met at the National Institutes of Health, Beth- esda, Md., after a number of states reported post-inoculation polio cases. On member of the group was Dr. Jonas Sal kof Pittsburgh, developer of the vaccine. * Ld . The Health Service said in a statement that it would evaluate the panel's recommendations and other information, then announce its finding, It added: “Pending the Sunday announce- ment, the surgeon general recom- mended that states and municipali- ties postpone their vaccination programs. Scheele had announced yester- day that the government was hold- | ing up clearance of new batches | of the vaccine until it could be| certain that “every conceivable safeguard’’ was being used. He told newsmen the inspection of new vaccine supplies would be resumed right away if present safety measures were judged ade- quate. He said there would be a few days’ delay if more exhaustive test methods were needed. Scheele stressed there was ‘no cause for alarm” in the holdup of inspections—a step that prevents new batches from being shipped by manufacturers.

Early today, however, California announced the program would re- main suspended until the Health Service makes its finding. The Kansas State Board of Health also had decided to go ahead with its vaccination pro- gram. What effect today’s announce- ment would have on the plans of Kansas and other states was not known immediately. It was be- lieved that few states had planned weekend inoculations. | Shain Class to Celebrat 35th Anniversary Tuesday James Episcopal Church, will provide plano music. class is sponsored by the American clas is sponsored by the American Association of University Women.

Ten Years Ago V-E Day Ended War in Europe As long as rceord’S are kgpt May 8, 1945, will remain among the most mo- mentous days in all human history. Just ten years ago tomorrow the col- Japse of Hitler Germany’s armed forces became complete. This sealed Allied European victory in the bloodiest of all wars. It also helped clear the way for the final defeat of Japan which surren- dered three months and one week later, on August 14. * * * On May 8 the Allies’ surrender terms were ratified in Berlin by Adm. Doenirz, head of what was left of the Nazi government. These terms had been signed the day before at Gen. EISENHOWER’S headquarters in a school house in Reims by Gen. Jopt as chief of staff of what was left of the German armies. Six days before what was left of Berlin had fallen to the Allies. Seven days before ApoLF HITLER had committed sui- cide and 10 days Lefore Musso.in1 had been shot by anti-fascist Italians. * * * V-E Day came a little more than five and two-thirds years after HITLER had precipitated World War II by invading Poland. Final Allied victory came three years and five months after the United States was plunged into the war by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. -Because of Russia's aggressive expan- sionism, the peace won ten years ago _ has beer marked by dangerous tensions in many parts of the world and armed strife in‘ Korea and Indochina. _ * ®t But thanks to the wisdom of the Allied leaders the free world today is better equipped for anti- Communism defense than ever before. Thanks also to that wis- dom of President Eisenhower, who fed our forces to victory in Europe, feels able to say that peace hopes now are brightening. Passage of Trade Bill Major Victory for Ike President EISENHOWER has won his most important victory so far in the 84th Congress. It came when the Senate approved without crippling amendments and sent to conference his House passed Recipro- cal Trade Bill. The final vote was 73 to 13 after eight protectionist amendments had been ‘rejected. Michigan's Sens. POTTER and ‘MCNAMARA were among those supporting the President. * * * There are few differences in the House and Senate versions of the measure to be considered by conferees. Both include the key provisions sought by Mr. EIsEen- HOWER. Besides assuring hi mthe first tariff cutting powers granted a President in 10 years, the measure extends the trade act until June 30, 1958. It also gives him power to reduce tariffs.up to five per cent in each of the next three years. * * * Only one Senate amendment is ex- pected to run into trouble in conference and it is the only one adopted without the Administration’s approval. It would broaden grounds under which an indus- try could seek relief from import compe- tition through the Tariff Commission under the escape clause. This is not too serious because the President could override the commission’s recommenda- tions. x * * The importance of the Senate's action stems from the fact that the trade act is’a key feature. of the Eisenhower program. Enact- “ment makes sense for ‘a creditor nation ‘such as ‘the ‘ United States. It will strengthen our allie. fie-snme time ii will bolster the free world’s anti-Com munist defenses. Police Urging Return to 2 Plates for Cars Southeastern Michigan’s Police Chiefs have revived agitation for a return to the two plate system of automobile li- censes. In their latest resolution they point out again the help licenses fore and aft would be to them. Not only would it facilitate their general work of combatting crime, but. would be especially useful in tracing stolen cars. * * * Police officials here are 100 per cent behind this resolution. Speaking for himself and Chief Strratey, Pontiac’s Chief of Detectives CLARK WHEATON gives it all out endorsement. So do Oakland County’s Sheriff Irons and Undersheriff McQUERN. The Press is mindful of the fact that two licenses would increase State costs. Return to the two plate system which was abandoned during the war to save steel, would increase these costs from $500,000 to $995,000 a year. Manufactured in the State Prison of Southern Michigan, the plates now cost 13 cents each. , If reflectorized for better night visibility, as advocated by Secre- tary of State Hare, they would cost 19 cents each. * * * However, we still agree with police officials that proper law enforcement demands the additional help that two licenses would afford. It also strikes us that the matter of economy could be taken care of by adoption of a system of permanent plates with annual renewal tabs like those used in 1943. _ The Pevolen Business GOP Split on PAC Can‘t Decide if Fight With Union Is Paying Off By JACK I. GREEN LANSING—It would be nice if some seer could tell Michigan Republicans whether their running attack on the CIO Political Action Committee (PAC) is paying dividends. Opinion among Republicans, from top to bottom, apparently is sharply divided wheth- er the’party is winning friends or making enemies. The Republicans, of course. have been hollering about the state CIO and its presi- dent, August Scholle, about Walter Reuther and his minions for the past six years. That is one reason why it is so diffi- cult for them to put over their current onslaught. Starting with the spring election cam- paign, the Republican high command sharp- ened its attack, or at least shifted the focus. It began hitting at one phase of union operation—the fact that the CIO PAC do- nates substantial sums of money to the Democrats from dues and assessments levied upon its members. The point of the Repub- lican attack is that many working in a shop with a GIO contract must join the union and pay the assessments to hold a job. The Republicans say this is enforced po- litical activity, practically compulsory mem- bership in the Democratic party and is unjust to those who don’t subscribe to Demo- cratic party principals. The unionists, or at least their spokes- men, say that labor has been losing in legislative halls what it gains at the bar- gaihing table. Therefore, that it must go into political activity to preserve and ex- tend its economic gains. Long ago, the Michigan CIO leadership de- cided to stick to the Democratic party as the best vehicle for that activity. In fact, it said officially it would never support another Republican. The labor union position is the dues and political assessments are voted by a majority of its membership—something on one has successfully challenged yet, As in all matters, there undoubtedly is a minority which objects and a larger group which fist doesn’t vote at all. But that is the way laws are passed, public officials elected and most organizations operate. It’s democracy, says the union. Some Republicans think that they have little or no chance of winning a big labor vote again. They note that union members are deluged with Democratic propaganda in union papers and radio programs, which never mention Repub- licans except to smear them. These fig- ure their chance is to awaken the majority of non-union people te vote Republican. Other Republicans think that if there is a real difference between an anti-PAC at- tack and an anti-union attack, it is too subtle a difference to be sold successuflly. Others think that the Grand Old Party is cutting its throat politically, that it is driv- ing working people solidly into the Demo- cratic: column and disgusting non-union liberals to the point they will reject Re- publicans. The last election did not provide the answer. Some Republicans think they would have lost ail offices if it hadn’t been for their anti-PAC campaign. Others think that if if they had let sleeping dogs lie they might ‘have'won all posts.

AM PREI9 Bond That Can’t Be Severed West Germany Recovers Only 10 Years After Defeat years ago Germany lay prostrate in defeat—its armies smashed. its cities destroyed, its industries wrecked, its people starving and desperate. In 10 years West Germany has surged back up to the front rank of the world's gteat economic powers.) By JOSEPH W. GRIGG BONN, (UP)—West Germany, as it prepares to rearm, has become the new industrial giant of western Europe—just 10 years aft¢r the most crushing defeat ever suffered by a major nation. Her industries are booming, her bombed cities are rising new and glistening from their ruins, her factories are working at full capa- city and she is challenging the vic- tors of 1945 in the world’s export markets. Ten years ago this correspondent toured the length and breadth of a Germany that lay prostrate in de- feat, The Germany he saw then was a harrowing sight. _ Every major city and most of the smaller ones were night- marish tangles of ruins—ruins in which millions of people bur- rowed for a shelter of some sort because they had nowhere else to go, There were no banks, no tele- phones, no postal services func- tioning. Nine-tenths of the stores were closed and there was little for sale in those that remained open. Water, electricity and gas services were being only slowly and painfully restored. Millions of refugees thronged the highways, heading for the homes that probably no longer existed or fleeing from. the Russians as the new occupation zone borders were fixed. Millions more trekked hungri- ly out of the starving cities each morning to grub and ransack in the neighboring countryside for potatoes or turnips. But the West Germany of 10 years later is a resurgent nation, on the verge of receiving its sov- ereignty as an honored and equal member of the western’ alliance against Communist aggression. The ruins of its bombed-out cities have long since been cleared away ‘and new buildings of steel and concrete have risen. More than 500.000 new homes were built last year and the Bonn government hopes to push that to 600,000 in 1955. More than $3,000,000,000 of United States Marshall Plan aid has been pumped into its incredible recov- ery, But the currency reform of 1948, which gave the country money in which it could put its faith after three despairing years of ‘‘cigarette’’ economy, played its part. So, also, did the hard work of 50,000,000 West Germans, de- termined to pull’ themselves up from disaster by their bootstraps. Here are some facts and Smiles A Pity A_ well-known woman was famous for her charity to those less fortunate than herself. She coulan't bear to know of the dis- tress of others without doing some- thing to relieve it. She returned to her table in a night club re- cently and informed her husband that she had just given $200 to the woman in charge of the ladies’ cloak-room. “What's the matter with you?” asked her husband, angrily. “What's the idea of spending money like that?” The woman's eyes began to dim with tears, ‘The poor thing,” she explained, “told me she had no television set.” Not Matured — Two parrots escaped from their aS one of himself to be a this man to red and the After an walked in with firmly in his hand, “Tt wouldn't ‘take that one from his perch—he wasn't ripe,” ‘the figures that show how this na- tion that suffered ruin 10 years ago already is outstripping its competitors and surging for- ward in an almost unparallelled economic boom, West Germany's industrial pro- duction, according to figures issued here, fast as that of Great Britain, France, Belgium or the Nether- lands. Production of transport equip- ment in West, Germany in 1954 spurted 28 per cent compared with 12 per cent in Britain, for example. In other metal-using trade Ger- many gained 12 per cent compared with Britain’s six and in chemi- cals 16 per cent as compared with Britain’s 12. West Germany in 1954 remained western Europe's No. 1 coal pro- ducer with an output of 128,000,000 tons compared with 124,500,000 in 1953. Raw steel output in 1954 went up to 16,000,000 tons and automo- bile production spurted 36 per cent over 1953 for a total of 670,000 units. Steel output may reach 20,- 000,000 tons this year.

In spite of the fact that sentimental Americans turn out for church services in large crowds, and in spite of the vast number of ser- mons preached and anthems sung about mother-love, religious lead- ‘ers dread both the superficiality and the commercialization to which the day is liable. To offset the dangers and to give real depth to Mother's Day, the National Council of Churches has renamed it Festival of the Chris- tian Home and has built up a solid background for it through last week's National Family Week studies and through May Fellow- ship Day, the Friday preceding Mother's Day. Last Friday, Protestant women led up to Mother's Day by prayer and by discussion of “The Respon- sible Christian Family.” At breakfasts, luncheons, and teas in hundreds of American communities they discussed the question of par- ents’ Christian attitudes in the home and the effect of these at- titudes on the children. The Archangel Michael has had a habit of appearing on earth from time to time for many centuries. Sunday, May 8, is kept, in the Roman and some other churches, in commemoration of the time when he appeared in 492 to a rich Italian cattleman to tell him where he wanted a church built in his honor, One of the least-known visits of Michael to earth is also one of the most interesting. In the English county of Cornwall there is a town called Helston, and it is said that the name comes from Hell-stone or stone of hell, . The legend is that there once was in the yard of a tavern in this a huge block of granite which fears times had been the stone that blocked off the entrance to hell, The story tells that Satan one night picked up the stone at hell's -gate and started off with it on some nefarious errand known Expectant Mother's Unusual Cravings Have Absolutely No Effect on Baby Marlene’s case shows the vast aid which a modern newspaper can render toward relieving nervous tension in the average home. If you know of any er- pectant mothers, then send them this case record. A wife should cherish no secret wor- ries or unscientific notions dur- ing her pregnancy. By DR. GEORGE W. CRANE Case 0-324: Marlene K., aged 22, is expecting her first baby. “Dr. Crane,.my husband and I are naturally very happy about it '' she said. ~ “But I have a lot of secret worries that I haven't admitted to him for they may be foolish and I am afraid he will laugh at me. “For example, I have been very hungry for strawberries the past month. And I once heard my grandmother say that if an expectant mother had such a hunger and it wasn’t satisfied, she’d mark her baby with a big red birthmark shaped like the thing she craved. “Well, I haven't been able to get fresh strawberries, so I wonder if my baby will have a red birth- mark?" This clinical column in practical psychology is supposed to help allay unnecessary fears. It thus is your newspaper's attempt to help produce happy homes instead of neurotic, divorced or jittery family life. Marlene’s typical fears are a classical instance in point. And I can eigwies g eng-moe that terror by saying that fears are medically unfounded. A wife’s ideas or unusual hung- ers do not produce birthmarks, though many people in past gen- erations thought they did. The developing baby is insulated against its mother’s thoughts. This is accomplished through the fact that the baby’s brain and “XT We GROAN TH CLUS pene neee cee peices own heart and its own blood supply. The baby's heart beats about 140 to 150 times per min- ute whereas the mother’s may run 75 to 80. And they do not have. the same blood supply. The mother’s blood does not flow in the baby’s veins and vice versa. For the red blood corpuscles are far too large to slip between the cells that line the blood vessels. However, germs are so much smaller than blood corpuscles that they can slip through where the cells are figuratively mortared together. The blood vessels are lined with cells that may be compared to the bricks in a brick wall. The contact of one cell with its néigh- bors is like the mortar line be- tween bricks. And bacteria, as well as a virus, can slide through these ‘‘mortar”’ points though blood corpuscles are too large to do so. Thus, a mother who catches measles during pregnancy may infect. her unborn baby with measles. A syphilitic mother -may do likewise for her baby unless she is being medically treated to prevent that dilemma. And the tiny antibodies in the mother’s blood, which give us our. resistance to disease, may like- wise slip through to the baby, which explains why infants are usually immune at. birth to the diseases which the mother had in childhood. Before its birth, a baby is al- ) moet “s oe from its mother as it is after birth while nursing at her breast! If you expectant mothers will keep in regular contact with your doctor's office, you need have little medical ‘dread of ae The iy a firstborn, so don’t expect your baby within 30 minutes after the uterus starts contracting. And don’t forego dates with your husband or allow yourself to become a medical ‘‘specimen” in his eyes, for this kills his romantic ardor toward you. For further advice, send for my booklet, ‘Facts About Pregnancy” enclosing a stamped return en- velope, plus a dime. It will allay many other needless fears and make pregnancy a more understandable scientific marvel.

Naturally, a tremendous fight en- sued, and Satan, when he saw he had the worst of it, fled leaving the stone. The big rock has long since been broken up into building stones and been used for local construction, but the people still turn out on this day and rejoice together over the Archangel's great victory. * * s Ask any American who were the first Christians to settle on this continent and it is likely that he will tell you it was the Mayflower Puritans who landed at Plymouth in 1620. And he would be wrong by 14 years. On Friday, May: 13, in 1607 the first permanent Christian colony in North America was established in Jamestown, Virginia, with the Rev. Robert Hunt shepherding the flock, and the construction was immedi- ately begun on a church building, of which ruins are still shown to tourists today. Even this was not the first contact the American continent had with Anglican (Episcopal) Chris- tianity. As far back as 1578, when Sir Francis Drake put in at what is now San’ Francisco Bay, a Church of England chaplain had read Anglican services on Ameri- can soil, But the first serious develop- ment of a Christian community in North America began at James- town, when Parson Hunt and his congregation settled down and started the first American town. One of the preachers who came later was a man named Whitaker. He baptized the Indian princess Pocahontas, whose name is for- ever romantically linked in Amer- ica legend with the doughty Cap- tain Smith. Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)
