The case cair.e to the attention of Chief of Police R. Emmett Flynn yesterday afternoon when the State's Attorney's office referred the matter to him.

A warrant for Hager's arrest was obtained later from said he had $74 in his pocket one morning last week when he left home to do painting work at Beall High School, Frostburg, The weather was poor so he returned to Cumberland and stopped at the Eagles Home. Blank, authorities added, said he lost about $60 a slot machine there and left with the intention of pawning his watch. Police were told that $30 of the money belonged to a neighbor. Authorities said Blank went to the Cumberland Loan Company on North Mechanic Street and picked up a $70 pocketwatch from the counter while the clerk was busy. After he left the pawn shop, police stated, the clerk noticed that die watch missing and telephoned another' loan company on Baltimore Street.

Soon after Blank man, to continue its fact finding program. The committee presented-12 questions to the board, Cook said, and isted them and the answers as follows: 1. How much was originally appropriated for the Beall High School athletic field? A. There is no specific fur.d, but there has been set aside $75,000 for all maintenance of all schools in the county. To date, $11,214.98 remains that fund.

New Contract Accepted By Paper Union Agreement Between UFA and Westvaco To Curtail Differences A new labor agreement. between the United Faperworkers of America, CIO, and "West Virginia, Pulp and Paper Company has been ratified.by the local union membership at.the company's Covington, Luke, and Williamsburg, plants, it was announced jointly today by the union and the company. At meetings held in Luke Monday, and in Covington and Wffliamsburg yesterday, the members voted overwhelmingly to accept the terms of the new contract. Both company and union offilcals described the new agreement as one which should eliminate many of the differences which have been experienced in the past. The new agreement is effective as of August 20 and runs for a peroid of at least one year.

When it is considered that more than 100,000 cubic yards of earth have been moved on. the job, and a contractor charges from $l'to $1.25 per cubic yard, Kopp said the school board has made a remarkable saving by using its own equipment and own labor. There is only $11,214.98 remaining in the $75,000 maintenance fund, since some monies were expended on repairs to other school buildings in the county. Part of this money should be -kept for possible emergency repairs, board members declared, and all of it cannot be-spent on the Frostburg project. It was made clear by Kopp and members of the board that the- County Commissioners have never been special appropriations of money for football fields or stadiums.

Kopp said, "We have never attempted to place the County Commissioners in embarrassing where they flnd.it necessary to refuse any appropriation to-the school board which might be considered by some people as not entirely essential." 4. What are the plans of the School Board to complete the Beall athletic A. Kopp explained that the Forestry Department will provide shrubbery for field.and school and said it all. depends on.what is meant by completed field. 5.

Will the school board give consideration to a.recommendation by this committee that the remaining -work required to complete the field and install bleachers be awarded -a capable contractor who has' the necessary equipment to complete the project by September? A. There was no specific reply. 6. If the board maintains it has no funds, why didn't the board include the project in its annual budget to the county commissioners? A. The board has enough funds to finish the'playing field.

Police quoted Perdew, who was arrested by Bedford city and Pennsylvania State Police at 1:30 p.

Perdew said that after he bought the wine he returned to a previously arranged meeting place where he found Willison and they began to drink the wine. A quarrel and fight resulted, police quoted Perdew as saying, adding that the-victim allegedly drew a knife on Perdew, who claims he then struck Willison with the quart bottle in self defense.

Also reported absent from home is Ray Earl-Smith, IS, of 132 Mary Street. At the time of his 'disappearance Sunday night, he was attired in a blue suit. Police were told he is five feet, six inches tall, weighs 120 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. No trace has been found of Dorothy Stevens, 15, Rnute 2, who left home Saturday ana was wearing a green skirt, yeEow sweater and red jac ket.

A major purpose in making such adjustments at this time was to eliminate as far as possible the need for special adjustments during the contract year. The provision for union shop at Luke and Williamsburg was granted by the NLRB elections at' these two plants which- resulted in an overwhelming vote in favor of this 'type of union security. Tjnder the provision agreed upon all new employes win be required to join and maintain membership In the union and employes who axe now members of the union must remain members and pay their-dues. Present employes who are not will not be required to join. A similar arrangement could not be granted at Covington because of existing state This was one of two "union security" clauses long sought by the UFA which was incorporated in the new agreement.

The second was a dues checkoff system in which the authorization card is automatically renewed from to year, but with an opportunity for an employe to revoke the authorization during 20-day period near the end of each contract within the first 20 days following the time either the union or the company files a 20-day notice that it desires to conclude the contract. If an em- ploye revokes his checkoff during this" period, however, it does not end his obligation to pay union dues. It merely permits him to pay personally rather than by payroll de-' duction. Major Seniority Change A major change was mace in the seniority clause to increase the protection of employes with more than five years of mill seniority in case of layoff, permitting them to be reassigned throughout the mill In connection with the clause the company confirmed in writing its "general practice in giving preference to former empkyes laid off through no fault of their own, as jobs for which they, are properly qualified may open-up. Other.

changes in seniority provisions were made to eliminate various points of dispute that had developed during the past few years. Both company and union spokesmen said believed that with, these changes -the seniority system in the three mills would work more smoothly-in the future. Included in the new contract the clause agreeing to ban strikes and lockouts which appeared in the agreement just concluded. In the event of any unauthorized strike or concerted stoppage of work, the union agrees to disavow it at once and direct the employes concerned to return to work. The union' also agrees to cooperate with company to promote good will, assure a full day's work, combat absenteeism and other practices which curtail production, and to help the company improve its safety program.

It was noted in the contract that a previous between the company and union for an offer of a pension plan had been carried out by the company's recent offer to hourly paid employes in its six union spokesmen continued to object to certain administrative features of the plan, they indicated that they are now content -to encourage elijibile employes to join the plan. They indicated, however, that they intended to push for "improvements" in the future. Company spokesmen urged all eligible employes who have not yet joined the pension plan to sign up at once. "September I is the close-out day for past service under the plan," a company representative said. "We think the plan is one of the best day.
