She wasn't walking and she wasn't carrying her baby strapped to her back, She was driving car, and the bucket, complete with papoose, was fastened the back. of the car seat According to David Eddards a member of the Cherokee tribe, this method of carrying papooses In automobiles is highly, popular with tm-to-date Indians, Maybe this is just another one of the1 many things we could learn from bur Indian brothers and sis-" ters. Why not a papoose basket for palefaces' autos, too? The Indians proved that perpendicular babies are Just as healthy as horizontal onesaway back when Oakland was a wilderness and buffaloes were on the hoof instead of the 5-cent piece. FEATHER IN THEIR CAP I have been told that there are about; 2000 Indians in the Bay region and that most of them came here "to do shipyard work. It's a far war whoop from birch bark canoes to steel ships, but the Indians made the riffle without overmuch trouble.

Wonder what Oakland's Indians think of this brave new world of day after yesterday? Our current housing headaches would make old Sitting Bull stand up for a better look and sit right down again. From Sitting Bull's point of view and that of his forefathers there wasn't any housing problem that couldn't be solved with a stretch of open prairie and a few tepees. What would Sitting Bull have thought of Oakland's dollar haircuts? It's a safe set that he or his immediate forebears removed the hair from more than one" head and aa ana cent never chareed the owner a We live in another era, alas! we have to pay a barber a dollar to scalp us. Our squaws put on the war paint. And we must have a roof between us and the stars.

Oakland's lediaashsv -made gome of our headaches their -aches-But they haver -been wiser "in many ways. They have plucked the raisins from the bun of civilization and left the rest alone. This is a lesson we too must learn if we ari to survive. Does a papoose say "goo" As other kids do? Toot, toot: "Peter went out on a Sunday toot," says 6ur Berkeley operative.

Machinist 1304, faces trial for refusal to produce the union's membership records in the Bethlehem Alameda, shipyard picket dispute, was in the forefront of strike news today. The strike front at the company Jobless Because of Strike, He Ends Life William L. Jones. 43, of 1417 Oat' Street, was found dead from a gun wound in the head by his wife, Ann, returning home at 8:30 o'clock last night. Mrs! Jones told Police Inspectors W.

W. Vernon and R. L. Montgomery that her husband had been despondent because he had not worked since October, due to the machinists' strike. A .22 caliber target pistol was found near the body.

An au-topsy is to be made by the coroner's office shipyard' was relatively quiet this morning although the largest crowd of sympathizers, numbering from 500 to 600, were standing beside the official picket line of 15 men when about 100 persons went to work. Three wjndshielda were broken by rocks hurled by strike who was summoned as a witness at Alameda County Superior Curt hearings of the. picket' controversy was found in contempt by Judge Barnes O. Quimi. TO VOTE OS WAGES Meanwhile, it was reported that striking members of San Francisco.

A.F.L. Machinists Lodge 68 will vote tomorrow new wage proposal, reportedly embodying an 18 per cent increase, offered jointly yesterday by the California Metal Trades Association and the San Francisco Employers Council. Members of the union, on strike since October 29 in support of a de-. mand for a 30 per cent wage boost, represents 100 San Francisco and Peninsula "uptown" machine shops. Any agreement would not affect members employed in shipyards, it was said.

Through an agreement of attorneys for both Dillon was not placed in custody and the case was continued until Thursday to allow J. H. Sapiro and Myron Harris, the union attorneys, time to prepare the papers that will take- the issue to the District Court of Appeals through habeas carpus proceedings. This move will nonake the en tire proceedings to the higher court only the matter of Dillon's contempt and the membership records will be presented to the Appellate Court TAKES SUDDEN TURN i This sudden turn in the case came yesterday afternoon after attorneys! had argued for three days over the legality of the unions membership records into court. Dillon originally was a defendant in the contenipt proceedings, but he was dismissed on the motion of Robert Burns and James company attorneys, so that, they could place him on the stand without placing him in' danger of incriminating himself.

-That: touched off the debate on technicalities. Burns and Agee argued that Dillon would be required by law to produce the records in court, tx-t Sapiro and Harris held that this would violate the union's rights, as the union is a defendant and might be -incriminated by the records. Yesterday afternoon Judge Quinn rtiled that, on the basis -of previous decisions, Dillon would. be required corpus. Burns, and Agee agreed to this Judge Quinn ruled ill not be taken into ietni i th mpsntimp as the the mean me as the purpose of this more is merely to "test a legal proposition.

Two Boys Arrested In Kidnaping Case BErKELEY. Jan. 22. Identified iby their victim, two minor boys ad hills, and forced him out pf his automobile. They droi off in the car, which was later abandoned and recovered.

Police say boys, one of which comes from a prominent Berkeley family, were motivated by revenge. Tentative Schedule Of Fees Attacked by Fliers as Too High Oakland's Port Commissioners today had delayed action on the pro posed adoption of a schedule of charges for use of facilities at the Municipal Airport. A. number of fliers had complained the tentative rates were "too high." Instead of enacting a new ordinance with increased rates, the commissioners ordered the present schedule to remain in effect until March 1, and directed Port Manager A. H.

-Abel to 'provide additional data on storage and landing fees. Commissioner Clifford D. Allen told the "commercial and private operators that the board was interested in charging only such rates as are consistent with sound operation of the airport. "As far as the commissioners are concerned," said Allen, "we would like to give the airport facilities to you free, but we have a certain fixed overhead which must be met. It is not the desire of the commission to establish rates just to see how much money it can NEXT TO NEW "Oakland would have the next highest fee to LaGuardia Field, New York, were these rates adopted.

protested Howard Waldorf, who emphasized that he was speaking as an individual and not as a rep- iresentative 61 the Chamber or uom fmerce of whose aviation division he is director. He pointed out that such ah in crease "would defeat volume fly ing," because it would have to be transmitted into flying rates. -Pretest that 4he-proposed gehefj tile-was tantamount- to a 250 per cent increase was made by R. P. Bowman of Alameda, commercial operator.

"We have been out here for nine months and we haven't taken in a dime," said Bowman in appealing to the commission to "go slow." Don M. Follett, executive 'secretary to City Manager Charles R. Sehwatienberg, also expressed ibe- lief that the proposed Oakland Air port rates are "higher than San Francisco, San Jose and other Call' fornia cities." LOW RATES DESIRED "The League of California Mu nicipalities is most anxious to en- courage mass flvinff and desires rates as low as possible," said Fol-' lett. J. W.

Thompson of Berkeley, aircraft dealer, declared that "jt would cost $34 a month just to keep a light plane at Oakland Ariport under these rates "The schedule sets up 3 cents a square foot as the storage charge, but actually it will cost more than that," said Thompson. He cited the proposed formula for fixing the fee. It says: "The rate for storage of planes shall be determined by the area of the rectangle, obtained by the product of the overall wing span and the overall length from the nose to the tip of multiplied" by the rate herein named: Hangar storage, 3 cents per month, and outside itor age, 1 cent per month." COMMITTEE NAMED At suggestion of Claire V. Good' win, who presided, tne delegation named a committee to represent it the next time the subject is dis cussed by the commission. On the committee are Waldorf, West Mor- eau, commercial operator, and a representative to be chosen by the Airplane Owners' and Pilots' Association.

Waldorf, in citing increased avia tion costs, said that the Navy has directed that all planes be equipped with two-way radio reception, which will cost $150. Solo flying mstrjjc- tion cost $5 per hour before the war. It has now been raised to $8. while dual flying has increased from $7 to $11, he said. Under the proposed rates, the storage of a Taylorcraft would be $23.78 monthly, a Piper a Cul ver Cadet $14.58,.

and a Voyager $25.50. It was on Commissioner J. Hassler's motion that the -board voted to keep the present rates in effect until a further study could be made. Commissioner Allen declared that regardless ot what rates are adopted uc Howard Settle, chairman of the board of directors of the Hayward Army Airfield, painted an optimistic picture of private flying in coming months. He said there a're 30.000 private planes in the United States today and that 40,000 more are contemplated.

Oakland should, have 175 planes? in proportion to population. By the end of the year this "should be boosted to 440, according to the predicted per capita ownership. Mother Admits Baby Put in Garbage Can VALLEJO. Jan. 22.
