Can't "Miss" Evidence, Hover Tells Police Unit C.

Watson Hover, county prosecuting attorney, told members of the Hamilton County Police Association, last night, that his office "can never have too much evidence in any criminal case." Speaking at the monthly meeting of the group at the St. Bernard fire house on "What the Prosecutor's Office Needs In the Way of Evidence," Hover urged police to press for all possible leads, get all the basic facts and "pick up all evidence and clues in sight." Hover pointed out that Hamilton County has 10 judges and added that "each judge differs to some extent in evidence allowed in a case." He said that police and the prosecutor's office do not know until the day of thhe trial what will be admitted as evidence. "For that reason alone," he said, "nobody knowns for certain what evidence to stress." He said that persons on juries KNOTHOLERS "SWAP" REDS Three young Cincinnati Red fans stage a picture-swapping Anticipating the largest baseball opening-day crowd in history, city officials yesterday announced plans to facilitate vehicular and pedestrian traffic Tuesday at Crosley Field.

Virtually every spare bus in an eight-county area will be used chartered and regular service Crosley corto Field, the Chief said.

Parking lots immediately adjacent to the ballpark and much of the curb space within short walking distance will be used for bus parking. The parking of area immediately at the rear the field, between York and Findlay Streets, will be reserved entirely for press, ballplayers and chartered buses, No left turns will be allowed from Dalton Street into Findlay Street. The accompanying map shows the routes of regular transit lines which go near the ballpark and boarding places downtown. The areas in black, east of the field, are new parking lots added this year by the city. Lt.

Col. Guy C. York, who will command traffic police squads at the park, had this advice for motorists: Park If possible on the side of the ball field from which you approach it and leave the park on the same side. This will avoid crossover traffic and congestion. Pay nobody on the streets to "watch your car." Self-styled "car watchers" can provide no immunity against being, tagged or being towed addition, they are breaking the law.

Watch out for temporary noparking signs as well as the regularly installed ones. Finally, Colonel York asked for cheerful compliance and a smile for the officers who have the "tough assignments" at heavily congested points.

It Won't Seem Like EASTER a New Plan May Solve Problem Of Cleaning Acid Out Of River MEDIATOR In Pay Dispute, Lis Which Threatens Strike On Cincinnati's Three Daily Newspapers Federal Mediator Samuel M. Spencer today will undertake to resolve a wage dispute which threatens a strike of approximately 600 union printers against Cincinnati's three daily newspapers. The mediator has arranged a meeting of negotiators for the newspapers and Local 3, International Typographical Union, for 2 p.

m. today in his office in the Federal Building. Since before expiration of the union's contract with the publishers last Decentber 31, Spencer, assigned to the case earlier, has been "standing by" as the publishers and printers negotiated. The ITU has given Local 3 permission to take a strike vote Sunday unless publishers make a wage offer acceptable to the local's officers and scale committee. But, the order specified, "No strike vote shall be taken if officers and scale committee present a.

recommendation of acceptance." Thus the international left to discretion of the local's officers and scale, committee the "acceptability" of a new offer, if the publishers made one. A spokesman for the publishers said the newspapers were "standing pat" on their offer of $8 in hourly wage inerases over a period of two years. They proposed an hourly boost of $4.50 the first year, $3.50 the second. The printers, however, rejected this proposal last Sunday by a vote of 431-1. The offer was $1 more a week on the second year more than made in the publisher's first proposal.

The printers have been holding out for $12 a week in increases over a two-year period. Meanwhile, the local went ahead with its plans to meet at 3 p. m. Sunday at the Hotel Sinton to take a strike vote under conditions set forth by the international. By Jim Schottelkotte Enquirer Reporter A new process developed in Niles, Ohio, has given hope to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission that the water pollution problem caused by acid discharges from steel mills may be licked.

Meanwhile, a new attack is going forward on another and more baffling acid problemthat of control of acid drain. age from active and abandoned coal mines. Edward J. Cleary, Cincinnatibased executive secretary of the commission, said yesterday that the eight-state group had been given an optimistic report on a $500,000 experimental unit for treating acid pickling liquor at Niles. The installation is financed jointly by the BlawKnox Pittsburgh, and seven major steel firms.

It has been estimated that 600 million gallons of corrosive pickle liquor are discharged annually into Ohio streams. No practical way has been found of reclaiming sulphuric acid and iron oxide from the pickle liquor before it is dumped into the river. At the same time, Cleary revealed that "an important practical experiment" was being tried on a new mine on the Monongahela River to eliminate sulphuric, acid water caused with coal. by the The "experiment" consisted basically, Cleary said, of providing an elaborate system of drains and pumps to move water out as fast as it got into the mine. Cleary said at least 2.5 million tons of sulphuric acid a year were dumped into Ohio Valley streams from new and abandoned mines.

Cleary said a solution was important because seven states in the Ohio basin produced approximately three-fourths of all the coal mined in the United States. He said the last report of the commission showed that approximately 67 per cent of the 1438 industries discharging ef- $500 Won By Waitress At "Parade Of Stars" Mrs. R. R.
