Akins' 38 of 508 North First St The women were lifeless when the initial investigators Patrolmen Leo Ladd and Walter Elliott reached the car parked in an old rock quarry near Third Avenue North and Morgan Park i The discovery was made am Officers estimated that the women had been dead about nine Or 10 hours Homicide Detective John (Pick) Robinson said the four "apparently had been drinking and presumably had turned on the heater and fallen asleep "The ignition of the car was turned on but the car's motor had stepped "It was a gasoline-type heater We are unable to say whether the fumes had come from the car motor or the heater The fumes covid have come from the motor through the floor board before the motor stopped running "It has been established definitely however that the tragedy was caused by monoxide fumes whatever the source The coroner's physician Dr Core said the deaths were due to monoxide and tests at General Hospital showed the men had been rendered unconscious by monoxide fumes" Walter Williams a spokesman for the distributor of a leading manufacturer of automobile heaters said: "From a gasoline heater there can be no carbon monoxide gas injected into the interior of a car as the fumes go out through the intake manifold of the motor The car's motor has to be functioning for the heater to operate and the running of the motor would draw the fumes out "The operation which creates carbon monoxide gas Is all within a sealed chamber and each heater carried the underwriter's laboratory label The heater was in no way responsible for the deaths It is my very firm conviction that the fumes came from the motor" William Norris father of one of the men who almost lost his life was quoted as "doubting" that carbon monoxide caused the deaths He said the right windows of the car could not be closed because of wiring to hold the door shut Robinson agreed that the two windows were "slightly open" but MRS SALLIE AKINS the detective reiterated he had no doubt

International Vice-President Roy Scheurich Scheurich head of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Union for six Southeastern states has spearheaded most of the local union's earlier negotiations with the company Sloan said Scheurich will be asked to try to get Jacobs to make an offer which would lead to settling the strike The Nashville agent said the vote of confidence was registered at a Tuesday night meeting of the striking members of Local 405 Special Meeting He said a special meeting of the local's 1200 membership had been set for 7:30 pm Thursday at the Nashville Labor Temple to discuss the situation and make plans for funds should the strike not be settled The strike for wage hikes and other benefits has been-under way since Sept 18 Jacobs spokesmen announced their striking employes have been replaced and that the group "just doesn't have jobs here any more" None of the approximately100 new employes will be fired to make room for any striker on his old job they said though their applications may be considered to fill vacancies- Sloan voiced doubt that "anything like 100 men are working at these jobs at the plant" and added that "only six" strikers have returned to their jobs 1 Scheurich is expected to arrive here by Friday Sloan has offered a $50 reward for apprehension of the person who fired a shotgun into his home at 508 South Fourth St Away From Home He

another $250 for those guilty of firing shotguns into plant officials' homes Oct 31 vice-I LJ CLYDE HARRIS A xJ A A 101111 A144411111441 IAA Demolition for the $10000000 Capitol Hill redevelopment
