Father Emmett, back in 1941, conceived the idea of a nonprofit, nonsectarian and inter-racial hospital for Phoenix and spearheaded the movement which made that original idea a reality. The institution last week celebrated the second anniversary of its opening. During last year the institution rared for 5,938 patients, representing 49,703 patient-days of hospitalization service and in addition, handled 6.843 emergency cases.

S. Steel corporation's settlement with Con gress of Industrial Organizations steelworkers. James F. Dewey, special federal mediator, after meeting 9'i hours yesterday, reported "considerable progress" had been made toward a General Motors settlement and that "management and the union will prepare in new language one or two sections of the contract still in dispute." C.

General Motors president, and top leaders of the ClO-United Auto Workers were expected to be present as negotiations reopening today first Sunday meeting since discussions began last August.

Phoenix "stands in his enduring 'debt. It is an immeasur ably finer community because this intensely human figure came to Phoenix with his dreams back in 1934.

Personality Reflected Who is this man whose personality has been so strongly and favorably reflected upon this community? He is, formally, the Rev. Emmett McLoughlin, O.F.M., the good padre of the slums, champion and friend of the needy and unfortunate and, in fact of all men, ir- respective of race, creed or ligious denomination. Informally, is known to thousands as; Father Emmett. If there ever was a living prototype of the kindly, gentle, but forceful "Father O'Maliey" of the famed and gripping motion picture "Going My Way," it is Phoenix' own Father Emmett. The long road leading to the attainment of his dreams often has been rough and difficult to ravel.

Sponsored by the Maricopa County Roads Advisory Committee, the meeting was called to bring together representatives of these different overnmenial agencies to obtain information from all sources as to what might be expected in obtaining relief in the "eneral traffic congestion problem existing around Phoenix, roughly from the Peoria-Glendale area to Mesa, and as far south as Chandler. Second point discussed by members of the group was the probability of developing and improv-ingthe Bush Highway to make recreational facilities of the Mo-gollon Rim country easily accessible to residents of the southern part of the state and to furnish a route for marketing lumber and cattle products. Truck Route In Future The proposed through truck route and passenger car freeway which would traverse the Metropolitan Phoenix area, designed to cope with traffic congestion problems in this district, is a 20-year project that would cost more than 510,000.000. Roy J.

Heyne. city manager, pointed out. Although surveying and planning the proposed routs have been initiated, the project apparently had become stalemated, and representatives of various chambers of commerce throughout the county which make up the advisory committee made an effort yesterday to determine what is holding up the project. Al B. Spector, chairman of the committee, presided at the meeting.

G. L. McLane. district engineer for the Public Roads Administration, explained the situation from the federal government point view: "In the last federal aid act an act of 1944 funds were made available for the improvement of traffic into and through or around cities. The allocation is made on a population basis, and Arizona gets a relatively small portion of it compared with eastern states where there are so many cities of larger size." Only Phoenix and Tucson are of sufficient size to receive any of these funds.

srrvipp hnra rnwrort Ihn war Owner Learns $1,000 Lesson A PHOENIX businessman, seemingly unacquainted with the severity of the housing shortage, sold his home recently. He sold because he felt he was brim; offered more than he could afford to refuse. Then he set out to rent another home for his family. Days of searching brought only disappointment, and the profit he would pocket from the saie of his own home began to look more and more insignificant. Finally, in desperation, he sought out the new owner of his home, to whom he still hadn't surrendered possession.

He was desperate, he said, as he explained his plight a wife and four children and no place into which he could move them. The new owner sympathized, but explained he felt he had paid a fair price and still had obtained a bargain which he could turn for a profit. The. businessman agreed. His search for a new home had convinced him.

The new owner admitted he didn't want to be "hard" on the seller. Suppose, he suggested, the businessman pay him $1,000, and they'd call off the deal. The businessman paid, charged off his $1,000 mistake to experience, and continued living in his own home. Children Love Animals! of course they do.

In 193S he was appointed Phoenix district manager, thus shouldering with Mr. Remneas the responsibility of increasing the service during a time when supplies were short and labor scarce. Over the state the company, during the war, was able to increase the number of subscribers from 60,000 to 80,000.

Only recently Mr. Remneas announced plans for the expenditure of approximately $5,000,000 in expansion and improvements during the next three or four years. The new Arizona manager, long has been known over the state for his active interest in university alumni affairs, being an ardent supporter of its football teams. Sharing that interest is his devotion to Boy Scout work. He is an active officer of Roosevelt Council Boy Scouts of America.

Through his long residence in the state he is thoroughly familiar with its sectional needs and will take up his new responsibilities with a state-wide view point, it was said. Mr. Remneas. in his move to Denver, will replace Paul A. Holland, who will retire soon after nearly 43 years of service with the company.

Russians Linked In Espionage By JOHN E. BIRD OTTAWA, Feb. 16 (UP) A cabinet minister identified Soviet Russia today as the country to which an international espionage ring reported "secret and confidential information of the Canadian government." The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, acting in strict secrecy, rounded up 12 present and former government employees and held them incommunicado in the police barracks at Roekcliffe. a suburb of Ottawa. Tne government intended lo have the full details of their widespread espionage before making definite charges.

C. D. Howe, reconstruction minister, denied that the atomic energy secret w-as involved. Authoritative sources suggested radar was the most likely objective of the ring, especially as it has been developed for Arctic flying and for defense against possible air attack from the Arctic. Former Fliers Held Among prisoners were believed to be several former Royal Canadian Air Force ferry command employees.

Reports that 22 persons had been arrested were described as "nonsense" by a high government official who said the number was 12. "What nation is involved?" a cabinet minister was asked. "Obviously it is Soviet Russia," he replied, adding that he was not to be identified by name. His disclosure was accepted bv high sources as in accordance with tecognized diplomatic practices in such cases to free other diplomatic missions here from suspicion. Government sources tied in Russia through an agent named Shim-ishenko.

who. they said, operated both here and in the United States. A failure in liaison between Cana-oian security agents and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation was blamed for the recent return of Shimishenko to Russia from the United States. Canadian police, it was said, had exnected the FBI to arrest Shimishenko "at an opportune time" and forestall his return. U.

S. Comment Lacking (In Washington, state department and FBI officials refused to comment but reliable sources said there has been close co-operation between Ihe U. S. and Canada on intelligence matters, especially as thev relate to hemispheric security.) Canada has taken a leading role in the development of radar he-cause of the burden of defending its vast unprotected northern territories, reaching to and beyond the Arctic Circle. Onlv yesterdav a Canadian Army unit, with American observers, pushed off into the frozen North from Fort Churchill in "operation muskox," one of the primary purposes of which is to; tee.t radar's use in defensive flying.

district director of the OPA that the dairymen, "have i-esented no facts or figures to 'rove their point." "Our application contained the est and latest information on filk production costs from the bureau of agricultural economics," Mr. Dysart said. "When our application was presented I was told we would be called in to go over it in a day or two. I was not called in. "Ten days after the application was filed.

I was asked to get additional information, such as income tax reports. I have no way of compelling people to expose their tax statements, but some of these have been furnished. "As for Mr. Penrod's solicitude for infants and school children, this critical shortage existed at the time the application was made. The schools then were short up to 40 per cent of the amount of milk needed to supply their lunch programs.

Evidence to that effect was submitted. Price Policy Blamed "It was further pointed out that this shortage was brought about by failure of OPA to make an adjustment to the price ceiling that would have encouraged increased production so that an ample sup-olv would be available in this district." The milk which the cows gave yesterdav they being completely indifferent as to the strike was delivered to the distributors with the signed statements of the dairymen that it was produced as Grade milk. This automatically prevented the plants from processing it and marking it Grade A. Borden sent its milk to its Tempe eondensory; Central Avenue Dairy and Websters reported they were turning the product into cheese and butter and had been able to keep' pace with the greatly increased supply of Grade through the first day. Actual hardship in many cases will appear by tomorrow, it was believed unless some way to end the strike is agreed to.

There are many individuals to whom milk is a necessity, it was pointed out. No provision for handling any individual cases by providing them with Grade A milk has been set up. Fortunately the city has a largp supply of canned milk in the warehouses of local wholesalers. The problem presented there was one of distributing it to the grocery stores, tomorrow morning. Chicagoans Set Taxicab March CHICAGO, Feh.

16 (UP) Six hundred war veterans will stage a taxicab "march" on Washington Monday to seek presidential aid in a dispute which is keeping them from operating taxis legally in Chicago. They will leave Chicago in a caravan of 300 taxicabs. Scores of the veterans have been arrested in recent months here for operating their cars without licenses. They couldn't obtain licenses because the number is limited. The majority of the quota of licenses is held "by two large concerns.

He is inclined to give for all the communitv achieve ments which he has spearheaded those citizens who rallied to support as he strove toward his humanitarian objectives. Undoubtedly, they do individually and collectively deserve the credit he likes to give them, but those who have watched his work over the years point out that without Father Emmett at the helm, many community movements that have taken concrete form in the years since his coming, probably would have lacked the necessary impetus to attain realization, for he has been the driving force behind them.
