WUKESHA DAILY FREEMAN XXVI--NO. 134 SUPPORTER OF WAUKESHA PROGRESS FOR NEARLY A CENTURY WAUKESHA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1947 New Contracts Being Drawn in 'Phone Dispute "WASHINGTON, (U.R)-- Government typists went to work this afternoon on a proposed contract which might end the nationwide telephone strike before it is much older. The tentative agreement affect specifically only the strike of 20,000 long- distance employes of the American Telephone Telegraph co. But if the unions and A.T.T. subsidiaries, including the 19-company Bell system, agreed to accept it as a model for contracts with their employes, there appeared every reason to suppose the three- day-old strike would be over.

Approval first would to be forthcoming- from the 49-member policy committee of the National Federation of Telephone Workers, which is conducting the strike.

Quiet Crowds Pass Body of Henry Ford in Detroit DETROIT, (U.R)-- Henry Ford's friends paid their final, silent respects today as the frail automotive genius' body lay in state. More than 500 of them--many in coveralls--waited quietly in the damp and cold outside the Greenfield village recreation hall in suburban Dearborn until the doors opened to them at 8 a.m.

Until 10 p.m., the body will lie in view of the thousands who in other times caught only fleeting glimpses of the "world-renowned giant of mass production industry. Humble folk about 100 em- ployes of Ford's beloved Greenfield village museum showplace were the first to say goodbye. They gazed briefly upon the calm, natural face that was known to millions, bowed their heads and moved-on. Many shed tears. Some moved their lips silently.

Mine Work Stoppage Called Political Act An assertion that at least 95 percent of the 13,000 coal mines in this country are safe for workers today, and the fact that no company or group of companies control more than three percent of the industry, highlighted a talk given the Lioiis club this afternoon. The speaker was E. A.

Edwards, a native of Chicago and a representative of the Bituminous Coal institute. Edwards contended the closing of the soft coal mines was purely a political move and that i the Ceii- tralia disaster was, as far as can be ascertained, a result of the miners' carelessness. He stated that in 1945, 391,000 miners produced 620 million tons of coal, a 60 percent production increase over the proceeding year, and that it was made with a 20 percent employment decrease. Edwards said 60c from every dollar profit goes to the miners, as compared wRh 16c in the average industry- Edwards told how the explorers, Pere Marquette and Joliet, first discovered coal in what is now Illinois, in 1673, and how the first record of using coal was made by Greek historians in 300 B. C.

He said coal is the basis for over 300products, including plastics, cosmetics, and perfumes. on business trends in the east from Robert Sullivan, who returned recently from a trip to New York. R. F. Lewis, superintendent of Waukesiha schools, will be toastmaster.

This dealer, who has coal reconsigned to him direct from the mines, also commented that while the more recent work stoppage was being felt at the moment, he was still feeling the effects of last year's strike.

A two- ton roller is 1 being 'used to iron the winter's bumps out of the ground in anticipation of heavy Russia Opposes Border Change MOSCOW, OJ.R)-- Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov tonight rejected Secretary of State George C. Marshall's demand for a commission to study a possible revision of the German-Polish border and insisted that the Big Four stand on the Potsdam agreement. Molotov took the view that the Potsdam agreement settled the frontier question once and for all.

Britain supported Marshall's proposal and the French indicated they would support it, giving the ministers another three to one spli on one of the vital issues befor them. Marshall spared no words in branding as "false" the Soviet in terpretation of the Potsdam agree ment on the Polish frontier ques tion. "Molotov in talking of the 'final ity of -the agreement," Marshal said, "spoke in complete contradic tion with the meaning of the Eng lish language as understood by President Truman and myself." Molotov said he did not dispute the English text of the Potsdam agreement but apparently it was a question of interpretation. The Soviets, he said, interpreted it as having settled the Polish-German frontier. Claim U.

Hearing on Bus Line Petition Is Set for April 22 Wisconsin i service commission today ordered a hearing on proposed new bus routes between Milwaukee arfd Waukesha, following announcement, yesterday of the sale of the interurban railway line between the two cities. A hearing is scheduled in the Milwaukee courthouse April 22 on the Transport company's petition to 13 additional bus trips be- 'tween Milwaukee and Waukesha. Opposing the petition is Cardinal Lines, a Janesville firm which is seeking a franchise for operating commuter buses along Highway 09 bet-ween the two cities. Asks 13 Added Trips The Transport which now op erates two regular bus trips along- the route, asked the commission two weeks ago to authorize a new time schedule providing for 13 additional trips. The service is operated by Wisconsin Motor Bus Lines a subsidiary of the Transport, co Closely tied with the bus franchise scramble is the sale of the electric interurban line to Northland Greyhound Lines, by Kenosha Motor Coach Lines, Inc.

The Kenosha firm purchased the line from the Transport co. in December. Announcement of the sale was made by W. J. McKay, Northland Greyhound president, at a public service commission hearing on the Cardinal Lines petition to operate buses between Milwaukee and Waukesha.

Greyhound representatives have appeared at recent meetings to oppose the'Cardinal petition. When the hearing convened in Waukesha last month, a Greyhound representative said his firm had contracted to buy the Highway 59 bus franchise and equipment from Wisconsin Motor Bus Lines. Part of the negotiation, apparently, was purchase of the electric line. Fears Bus Competition. According to Henry P.

Bruner, Kenosha Lines president, the interurban line was sold for exact amount paid to the Transport co. four months ago. Bruner said his company decided to sell because it feared unendurable competition from Cardinal Lines, which will operate buses every half hour if the public service commission grants a franchise. Officials of the firm said the interurban already operates at a slight loss, and further cuts into its patronage would be disastrous. The interurban line will continue to operate under Kenosha Lines un- Mrs.

Sealtite to Face $73,350 Action A $73,350 suit for breach of contract was filed in circuit court today against the Sealtite Insulation Manufacturing corp. of Waukesha by Frank M.

a Des Moines, salesman. Cook charged the Waukesha firm broke its contract with him on paying commissions and filling orders he had taken. He said he was hired as general sales manager for the midwest covering Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota, and that he worked for two years before his dismissal last November. Besides refusing to pay the agreed commissions, according to Cook, Sealtite had failed to ship promptly the orders taken by their sales mant.ger and had failed to give the priorities it had promised. The suit charged Sealtite had "falsely and fraudulently" represented itself as having two cupolas in operation for the production of rocjc wool, with a minimum capacity of 6,000 tons of rock wool a year.

Cook said he had been promised this production, but Sealtite failed to fill his orders. Periodically, Sealtite paid Cook $1,667 in commissions over the two year period, but he refused to cash the checks because they were not full payment, he said. A summons in connection -with suit was, served on Miles Firnhaber, vice-president and general man- -agrer of "the insulation "firm located at 115 Madison st. No date has been set for the trial before Judge Edward Industrial Clutch Co. Official Talks to Club Optimists this afternoon heard the story of a specialized local industry concerned only with solving- ndividual engineering problems.

John Pfeffer, of the Waukesha Industrial Clutch gave the group a brief summary of the history and development of this firm. Pfeffer stated the company, which was started in 1929, a year of great financial insecurity, has expanded by handling only special- zed jobs 1 and now occupies its wn plant on the east side. He said industrial Clutch has 50 patents developed during engineering projects, and between 15 and 20 patents pending. The company depends upon its reputation to attract mechanical problems, Pfeffer claimed. He said that since 1931 only special clutches have been produced and the company solved one of its earlier problems by developing the first successful punch press clutch.

Pfeffer described the smallest clutch made by the company, a three-pound clutch made during the war to operate the air compression unit of the B-29 and the largest job, a 750 pound clutch.

In addition, Harold Parrott, road secretary for the Dodgers who ghost-writes a column for Durocher in the Brooklyn Eagle, was fined $500 for violating a "silence" order which Chandler had issued. The action was taken on charges filed by Presdinet Larry MacPhail of the Yankees, charging President Branch Rickey of the Dodgers, Durocher and Parrott with" conduct detrimental to the game.

It climaxed a spring-long feud between two clubs, during which MacPhail and Rickey periodically blasted each other in the newspapers and which Durocher joined through his daily column in' the Eagle. Came to Climax hi March The feud came to a climax early in March when Rickey was -quoted in Havana," the Dodgers as charging MacPhail with having two gamblers as guests in his box at an exhibition game there between the two clubs. MacPhail denied the charge and after consulting with William Harridge, president of the American league, filed the charges with Chandler. Two hearings were held Flor- ida at which' all the principals testified. Rickey denied the Havana charges attributed to him.

The fight started last fall when Dressen, who had served as a coach, under Durocher, signed with the Yankees, violating, according to Rickey, a verbal agreement that Dressen had made to stay with Brooklyn two more years unless given an opportunity to manage a major league club. Dressen denied there had been any such agreement. Five Days before Opener Chandler's action came only five days before the opening- of the season and it was his most drastic ruling since he took over the office from" the late 'K. M.

Chandler said Durocher was suspended for "not measuring up to the standards expected' or required of managers." The commissioner said he suspended Dressen for 30 days, effective 'April 15 the day the Yankees open their season because he was convinced the coach had agreed with Rickey to remain with Brooklyn and "for other, action detrimental to baseball.

Vote in Senate 19 to 11 Defeats Outside Training MADISON, (U.R)--After a long heated debate the state senate today killed a bill that would allow public schools to give pupils time off to attend religious classes. The vote was 19 to 11. The measure, sponsored by a legislative committee that has been studying juvenile delinquency for more than a year, would have given local school boards authority to dismiss classes for three hours each week so that pupils could get religious instruction outside of the schools.

(The Waukesha Ministers association recently went on record in favor of the measure which would provide three hours a wreck for religious instruction. In replying March 19 to a statement by an officer of We, The People, concerning alleged "obstruction" on the of local ministers to religious instruction in -the public schools, ministers asked public support of the legislative committee proposal.) Would Crowd Program Sen. Robert Robinson, Beloit, chairman of the senate education a.nd public welfare committee, and Sen. Fred Risser, Madison, member of the committee, led the fight againsrt the bill. The committee, earlier recommended killing the measure.

Robinson said that a three-hour- per-week suspension of classes would "take 10 percent of the public schools' time." This, he said, would "hamper what the schools are trying to accomplish" since school curricula already are crowded. Risser charged that the bill promote "sectarianism" among students. "You can't have students forming into separate groups to go to church without creating bad feeling," he declared. In defending the bill, Sen. Ru- dolpli Chalbach, La Crosse, head of the juvenile delinquency committee, declared that the "youth of this land are not getting- enough (Turn to Page No.
