Faulkner and Thomas R. Van Auker and Lt. Elmer A. Irish, were designated as the city's "vice squad working under orders of the chief. At that time.

Lieutenant Ford, who had been confidential investigator for the chief, was transferred to the Detective Bureau. Since that time Ford has been operating as special investigator.

Health, Welfare Help Granted, with Limit Of 5c an Hour Teamsters Union, Local 118 (AFL), last night was awarded a 3 cent an hour increase, retroac tive to Apr. 26, and an employer-paid health and welfare program under a decision by Martin Q.

Moll, arbiter in the wage dispute with the Rochester Truckmen's and Warehousemen's Association. The award, affecting 295 union members employed by 19 trucking firms here, resulted from agreement between the association and the union on arbitration to end the strike called Apr. 15. Moll is president of Christopher Press 35 Scio St. In his decision, the arbiter re stricted cost of the health and wel fare program to not more than 5 cents an hour to the employer.

Trusteeship Set Up In his directive, accompany the decision, the health and welfare fund is to be administered by a trusteeship as follows: One trustee appointed by Local 118, another appointed by the association, and a third mutually acceptable to both. "This trusteeship," said Moll, "is to study the proposals of the most reliable insurance companies and to incorporate in the final adopted program the features outlined in the attached chart but with this limitation: under no circumstances is the amount paid by the employer to exceed 5 cents per hour per employe. "If the health aid welfare pro gram, comprehensive as it is, is going to cost more tnan tnat amount, including the administrative costs, the balance must either be paid by the employe members of Local 118 or some change of reduction in benefits must be made to bring the costs down to the amount provided in the trustees' fund. If the latter method of reducing costs is decided upon, the trustees are hereby authorized to decide what phase of the program is to be reduced. However, they may not eliminate entirely any one phase of the program." Welfare Provisions I The health and welfare program provides for $1,000 life insurance policy, double indemnity in case of accidental death or dismemberment, a $25 weekly sickness and accident benefit, a $10 daily hospital benefit, a $5 maximum for hospital charges and a maximum of $225 surgical fee to employes.

The last three benefits also apply to dependents of the employes. Declaring the 3 oent an hour wage increase "is not excessive in view of the increase in the cost of living since April, 1948, the arbiter said he gave "weighty consideration of necessity" to the fact that five-sixths of the companies which negotiate with Local 118 have al ready signed agreements similar to the settlemetn decision. He pointed out that of 118 companies which have contracts with Local 118, a total of 99 have signed contracts agreeing to the "economic features consistent with this decision." The arbiter added: "These companies are divided into eight groups, and seven of these groups, by signing with Local 118, have, in fact, es tablished the pattern of agreement which your arbitrator cannot fail to recognize." Social Agencies Aide To Address 2 Sessions Dr. Rex Johnson, secretary of recreation for the Council of Social Agencies and authority on community use of films, will epeak on the subject in meetings of two national organizations this month.

animals, her chances are reasonably bright. On the subject of Miss Collins, this item is interesting. Next week her painting of the stallion Attention, now owned by William Halis. the "Golden Greek," of New Orleans, will be auctioned off by Dan Parker, famous sports writer for the New York Daily Mirror, every bid for which will be paid into the Damon Runyon Memorial Cancer Fund. Attention is shown in Miss Collins' picture with Jockey Johnny Longdon, who has won more races than any other rider living or dead, in the saddle.

The horse was purchased by Mr. Halis from Mayor Corning of Albany for $65,000. This sum is said to be the largest ever paid for a horse while the animal was still in training. Sometime after the purchase of won a number of notable races, the horse was retired to stud at Mr. Halis' New Jersey farm.

ATE one afternoon 10 or 12 days ago I encountered Daniel G. (Gerry) Kennedy, a member of the firm of Nixon, Hargrave, Middleton Devans, hurrying to the Rochester Airport. He, was flying to New York to see the opening of the musical comedy, "The Happiest Years" featuring the gifted Miss Peggy Wood, one of the authors of which, William Roerick, was a roommate of Mr. Kennedy's at Hamilton College. Mr.

Kennedy had bought a "piece" of the show for $200, and he wanted to see how his money was going. He came back that night on a train. It didn't seem to be going well. In a week the show closed. "It was just one of those things," Mr.

Kennedy said of his first venture into show business. Henry W. Hays, crack insurance salesman, of Yarmouth did better with a Broadway venture. He bought into "Death of a Salesman," Arthur Miller's enormously successful drama, the author of which has Just received the Pulitzer Prize. Speaking of the Pulitzer Prize: A few years back, when James Gould Cozzens published his novel, "The Just and the Unjust, the head of this department wrote that it was the best American novel he had read for that particular year, and timidly suggested that it was worthy of the Pulitzer Prize.

Later I learned that it had been considered for this honor, but the prize went to another author. A great admirer of Mr. Cozzens, I wrote late in March: "The best war novel I have read is "Guard of Honor," by James Gould Cozzens. A fine, beautifully written tale, with people moving through it who are as real as real can be Mr. Cozzens is one of the really distinguished younger novelists in America." Monday, "Guard of Honor" was named as the Pulitzer Prize novel.

Broadhurst Theater in New York the other night, entered the lobby of The Chatham, a fashionable little hotel at 48th St. and Vanderbilt Ave.

The lobby is small, not much larger than a saltbox. At the clerk's desk stood a gray haired I man whose resplendent Navy uniform was adorned with five gold stars. His eyes were intently fixed on the front page of eveninsr newspaper that he held In his hands. Across the small lobby, near the rrwr of the elevator, stood a handsome woman in evening dress, who now spoke in the direction of the admiral. he aaid CVme on, darling.

Th admiral never looked up from the newspaper. Th elevator man. hi hand tentatively on the starter, waited. The handsome lady spoke a trace of impatience in her lifting voice. "Come, darling, the elevator's waiting.

Again no answer from the admiral, hut he did speak to the desk clerk. He said. could give you a nickel and buy this paper and take it up to the room and read it. I'm not going to do so. I'm just glancing at the headlines." 'Darling." said the lady again, "darling, it's getting very late, I'm very tired, the elevator is waiting and I want to go upstairs and go to bed.

Won't you PLEASE come?" The admiral deliberately replaced the paper on the stack on the clerk's desk, slowly moved across the lobby, followed the handsome lady into the elevator and the door closed out this little scene of husbandly dalliance and wifely provocation.

"Married men." Mr. Ferguson remarked, in relating this incident, "are very much the same, I guess, no matter what their position. They just are, and wives apparently can't do much to change them." 1'IIOUOH SHK MAKES a rigid practice never to bet on a horse. Miss Ann Collins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

C. J. Collins of Lyons, will be ahead a sum of money well into four figures if any one of the four specified horses entered in today's Kentucky Derby crosses under the wire first. The four horses in Miss Collins' "pool" are the two entries cf Fred W. Hooper, Olympia (the favorite at the time this is written) and Ocean Drive, and two representatii-es of John Hay fjock) Whitney's Greentree Stables.

Capot and Wine List. If no member of this quartet takes the big purse and receives the traditional horseshoe. Miss Collins will be disappointed, but not a penny out of pocket. Young in years, in the past few years Miss Collins has become one of the most distinguished painters of race horses in the country. She has painted a number of the great stake horses on commissions from their owners, and her price per picture runs into many, many hundreds of dollars.

After the Hooper and Whitney horses had been nominated for today's Derby, the respective owners made an arrangement with Miss Collins that if one of their horses won the race she automatically would have a commission to paint the winner. Miss Collins will not be at Louisville today, but in New York where she has other business. But her prayers and hopes will be that a Hooper or Whitney animal gets there, first.
