May 13 A 13-year-old New York boy, who ran away from home pardon, went AWOL and came to Washington to see a reaj live general, put on a fine military show today. Proudly erect, with a i if le (woodenl over his shoulder, John Arzoomian paraded in full field equipment including hayonel, dagger, canteen, mess kit, knapsack and GI uniform. But to John's sorrow, the only spectators were cops and cameramen.

Young Arzoomian, who hopes to he a general himself some day, had planned to camp out on die Pentagon lawn and learn Ihe trade at first hand from the scads of generals on duty here in the nation's capital. John almost made it. He got to Washington, all right, but the enemy must have picked him up on ladar or something.

May 13 Sen. Robert A. Taft grabbed a head start tonight in West Virginia's primary returns, which showed him leading in presidential poularity votes and his candidates ahead in all four contests for GOP national convention delegates-at-large seats. With 33 of the state's 2,822 precincts counted, Taft men were outrunning the at-large candidates supporting Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower by margins of eight and nine to five. In the popularity section of the voting, Senator Taft was running away from Harold E.

The action made Cincinnati the first Ohio city to obtain approval for a slum clearance and urban redevelopment project, Raymond M. Foley, HHFA Administration, announced. The project to be redeveloped ll lnown as Laurel No. 3 and is bounded by the proposed Millcrerk Expressway, Liberty Street, Linn Street and Lincoln Park Drive, HHFA said that it is part of the huge deteriorated basin area, is predominantly residential and Is occupied almost entirely by Negro families. TO BE REDEVELOPED will be redeveloped chiefly with multi-family dwellings built by private enterprise.

Smaller portions of the area will go to extension of a school playground, to enlargement of St. Mary Hospital grounds and facilities and to provision of a commercial center for the new residences. Total cost of the project Is estimated at $4,335,222. The net cost is estimated at $3,710,425. The net cost is the difference between the amount that the land costs the city and the amount it will bring when cleared.

To this loss, the Federal govern-mcnt is authorized to contribute as much as two thirds. The capital Intensive Campaign Planned By Officials In Growing Pedestrian Accident Problem "Hobgoblins," Says Truman Lawyer Ruling Delay Hinted By Justice (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) WASHINGTON, May 13-The Supreme Court was told today by the steel companies that government seizure of their mills could lead to losses of as high as $300 million. An administration lawyer called such fears "a lot of fantastic hobgoblins." Today's arguments wound up the iebate on what may be one of the historic constitutional questions: What right does a President have to seine private property? The only hint given on how long it may take to reach a decision come from Justice Robert A. Jackson. He said from the bench: "This isn't something that can be decided in the light of one day's discussion." Therefore, Justice Jackson said, he would oppose handing down any decision until the opinion has been written.

Occasionally, in an important case, the Court announces its ruling and then hands down its formal opinion later. Justice Jackson said he would oppose such a procedure here. "CAN'T FIGURE DAMAGES" Most of the arguments today were devoted to (1) damages, and (2) whether President Truman should have used the Taft-Hartley Act instead of seizing the mills. John W. Davis, 79-year-old former Democratic presidential can didate, who spoke for the corn panies, said there was no way to figure how much the companies might be hurt.

But he said Charles Sawyer, Secretary of Commerce, who took over the mills, has "three, four, five times" talked of raising the wages of the CIO steelworkers. "What injury do you call irreparable?" he was asked. Damages could hit "100 million. 500 million, 300 million dollars," he replied. PERLMAN QUIZZED AGAIN Not a single question was asked Mr.

Davis today by the justices and only two were asked yesterday. By contrast, Philip B. Perl-man, Acting Attorney General, was questioned constantly again today. For example when he remarked that, in effect, this country is at war and hence has to have an uninterrupted supply of steel, Justice Jackson cut in to ask: "Hasn't the President specifically disclaimed that? Hasn't ho said it was a police action?" Mr. Perlman said that might be true, but it still didn't detract from the fact that there is an urgent need for steel.

Mr. Perlman insisted the steel companies have not been hurt, but that if they do have claims for damages, they can go to the Court of Claims for relief. "How would you determine that?" Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson asked. "What would be the measure of damage?" Mr.

Perlman said that If the claims were filed, the court could determine how much damage was done. BV PHILLIP M. SWATEK An immediate attack on' Ihe pedestrian problem plaguing Cincinnati was authorized yesterday by the City Manager's Traffic Coordinating Committee. While the committee was In session, Mayor Carl W. Rich issued a statement declaring that traffic deaths during the last 10 daya have created a state of emergency in the city.

The Mayor disclosed that the toll last week end was the worst in 10 years and appealed to Cin-cinnatians to co-operate in restorj ing safety to the streets. Plana for combating the persistently high number of pedestrian accidents and deaths in Cincinnati call for an intense, educational effort to last at least six months. At the end of the. educational period, pedestrians are to be cited for violations. Part of the educational program will begin this morning.

violations was then discussed by committee members. Police Chief Stanley Schrotel agreed that a more stringent pedestrian program was necessary, but asked if existing leglslatioon dealing with pedestrians could be enforced. Ralph Cors, Assistant. City Prosecutor, sa.d that "generally the existing ordinances are adequate." Several technical points were raised. One dealt with whether pedestrians would be allowed to pay fines in "cafeteria court" (the Traffic Bureau instead of appearing in court, (Mayor's Statement, Page 11) The committee also reviewed the unique intersection control now In use in Denver where, at regular intervals, traffic lights stop all traffic and pedestrians use the entire intersection any way they please.

Mr. Howie explained that the system is good only where large street and sidewalk storage capacities exist. In his opinion, the plan could not successfuly be adopted in Cincinnati. He added that the oneway-street grid, with its signal-controlled midblock crossing, already planned for Cincinnati, is much more feasible. Police officers will help distriuh-ute to stores small signs warning against jaywalking.

The program is being sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati Safety Council, Cincinnati Retail Merchants Association and police. Committee members, In de-elding to meet the pedestrian accident threat aggressively, first had to determine what sort ol plan they would adopt. George Howie, City Traffic Engineer, explained that there are two basic programs: The "Detroit Plan" educates the pedestrian to the Idea that he has no rights, that he must look out for himself. To compensate, Detroit pedestrians legally are free to walk as they choose so long as they do not cause accidents. The other plan, under which pedestrians have very definite rights and responsibilities was, adopted by the committee.

Cincinnati pedestrians will be educated to know his rights as defined by the law. He also will learn his responsibilities and that he Is breaking the law when he Jaywalks or crosses the street against a red light. Whether it is practical or ad-visiAle lo cite pedestrians for 4,739 to 960 in 91 of 2,822 precincts. West Virginians appeared to have piled up a near-record vote during the day but the 7:30 m. deadline caught long lines of voters waiting vainly in Charleston to cast their ballots.

A long ballot, with hundreds of candidates running for national, state and local offices, slowed up the voting. The outepme of most races, including those for delegate seats to the national convention, probably will be in doubt for hours. TAFT LEADS, 2-1 The first precinct to report from the Second District in the state's Eastern Panhandle section gave Taft candidates almost a two-to-onelead for two delegate seats over candidates pledged to General Eisenhower. The Eastern Panhandle is where the General was expected to show his greatest strength. In the popular vote, Senator Taft led Mr.

Stassen 188 to 36. Scattered ahowerg across tho state failed to halt heavy voting In some Jleavier-than-tisual voting was reported In Charleston, Huntington, Weirton, Wheeling, Bluefleld and other sections of the coal-rich state. The record vote of 575,000 was cast in the 1940 primary and some believed today's vote might reach 500,000, despite the bad weather. Senator Taft had the backing of the state's strong GOP organization. His supporters were confident they would capture all 16 delegate posts and also give him a sweeping victory in popularity votes over Mr.

Stassen. They were the only presidential candidates whose names were on the ballot. West Virginia law makes no provision for write-in votes. Eisenhower supporters hoped to split the GOP delegation. They claimed the election of two delegates would represent a victory for the General.

Taft people disputed the claim. Got $125,000 On Bad Checks, Salesman Says A free talking ex-convict, who said he was wanted in 40 states for passing $125,000 worth of bad checks, was arrested in his Kemper Lane Hotel apartment last night by Vice Squad detectives who found three loaded revolvers on him and two other automatics hidden in a cunboard. Police were checking his record Snake Drapes Itself Around Pilot's Neck As Plane Takes Off And Battle Is On Deadly Is Loser Reptile By CLARENCE B. RANDALL (CopyrliM, 1952, Nw York HernU Tribune, Inc.) In trying to think his way through the problems of the day, the businessman might just as well tackle the tough ones first and make up his mind what he thinks about labor unions. They are here to stay, and If he doesn't like them as they are he might as well face the fact that they knew what they wanted and got a lot of things clone while lie was still content to be profane and nay he would have no truck with them, and they are still ahead of him In knowing; what they want and getting things done.

This will go on until he makes up his mind as to what is good and what is bad about tnem, and accepts the good and resists the bad with might and main. I have seen it all from the beginning. I went through that bloody period of organizing by violence, with its mass assaults on gates, its goon commandos that ranged from town to town breaking heads and destroying property, and I have stood in a governor's office pleading for troops to protect the lives of innocent people. "NO GESTURE OF PROTEST" Never to this day have I been able to forgive those rational figures in the labor movement who whipped up the fury of those mobs Rnd let those brutal deeds be done without a single gesture of protest. After that I (ought, the battle of the lawyers, and spent my days in a welter of injunctions and appeals.

And my sleeve would be heavy with service stripes If there were one for every mediation conference in which I have participated or every fact-finding board before which I have testified. So it is hard for me to be objective, hut I try to be just that, for I know that bias never settled anything. The ideal attitude, for example, of an employer toward the union question can be stated quite simply, I think. The choice of whether to join or not to join a union should lie strictly with the individual worker. It is a matter to be determined within the confines of his own conscience.

If he feels powerless as an individual in ihe face nt the economic power possessed by his company, it is altogether underslandahle that he will want to associate himself with other like-minded men for mutual protection by joining a union. If that is his free choice the employer should accept it with complete Integrity. Such is the law, and it is also good industrial morals. That is the peaceful scene as commonly imagined by those well-meaning people who call every manufacture'. reactionary, but unhappily it isn't usually that simple.

A good employer knows his men; they talk to him privately and he feels that they speak the truth. When they 1 ell him that they distrust the union organizers, that they believe them to be both dishonest and unpatriotic, but that they are sure they will have two feet of cold gas pipe laid across their ears if they don't sign up, the management, man goes hot with anger because he feels deep sympathy for the dilemma of his men. HARD TO BE OBJECTIVE I have heard labor leaders publicly defend such violence on the ground that their cause advances social justice and that no individual has the right to stand In the way, I have heard them say publicly that they would refuse to obey a court injunction that forbade violence. And, since I consider respect for law and order and the rights of minorities to be fundamental In this land of the free, I repeat that I find it hard to be objective. The modern statutes have assauged this somewhat, and the secret ballot under public auspices gets at the truth of what the employee really wants.

I have no sympathy for the employer who ignores that truth. If his men really want a union, he has but one honest course, to accept the verdict and enter into the new relationship with a sincere determination to make it work. But the well-meaning intellectual will be far off the mark if he thinks that the new laws have brought full democracy to the Internal administration of labor unions. Kellcct. for example, upon the lack of turnover in the men who hold the top offices in the nationwide unions.

There is no security like it in the world, and no parallel for It in any other situations where men are chosen by popular ballot. The same names have been before us for a generation. Reflect also upon their lush expense accounts, their Cadillacs, their vacations in Florida, and their year-round suites in the best Florida hotels. LITTLE GRASS ROOTS THINKING Hvcn in the locals there is very little genuine grass roots thinking. A union in a large plant that might have 10,000 members seldom has 400 at a meeting, and the inner circle runs the show.

The thoughtful workc? who doesn't want to strike stays away from the meeting, for it isn't healthy to be labeled a management stooge. What are the manifestations of union power? First, the easting of all American lite Into a pattern, the settling down of a deadly sameness over Institutions and people everywhere with resultant lessening of the worth of the Individual and resistance to variation; the "we know better than you what is good for you" approach to the problems of Individual Americans, precisely as thouh we were on our way toward the dictatorship of the proletariat which we may be, for all I know. Industry-wide bargaining is one of the whips by which we are marched toward this strangely un-American pattern type of existence in industry. We goose-step to the music of Pittsburgh. FIRST ONE SETS PATTERN If one steel company, having in mind only its own rircumstanccs and needs, arrives fairiy at a bargain with its workers, forthwith it is decreed that this shall be the pattern, and that 600 other companies, large and small, located in widely separated geographical areas, and having heaven knows what circumstances and what needs shall sign on the dotted line.

Try as they may, they will not be permitted to ieopen the discussion, even i hough the contract may destroy the company. They will be told by the so-called international representative of the union that he has no authority to grant concessions, this at the same time that the members of the local are being told that the management is not bargaining in good iaith. To be quite fair I must admit that this Is not truo of all labor leaders; from time to time one encounters at the local and district levels in union organizations representatives who display an independence that is most heartening, and that gives one hope that perhaps eventually better relationships will prevail. I have seen man stand up to his international officers courageously, and at the risk of his job defend the position of the employer because he believed It to be right. And 1 have seen the same man stand up to his boss and tell him off too, when he believed him to be wrong.

That aort of conduct will advance labor peace. Occasionally we have been given a long shove down this path toward the supreme pattern of nationwide sameness by management itself. Not only during the war did some industrial leaders openly advocate industrywide bargaining, but then and now many more have accepted it with a smirk of complacency.

Work on the project cannot begin until the Ohio Supreme Court Miles on constitutionality of the Ohio Redevelopment Act of 199, A suit for this purpose has been Instituted by the city and is expected to be before the court within several weeks.

Times Cable JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, May 13 A fantastic encounter between a plane pilot and his radio operator and a four-foot Green mamba, the most deadly African snake, at the crucial moment of takeoff from Dar Es Salaam, East Africa, recently was described at Durban today by Alan Hannaford-Rice, the radio operator. The aircraft, with passengers aboard, had just gained flying speed when Hannaford-Rice was horrified to see the mamba drape itself around the neck of the pilot, Capt "Tug" Wilson, He and Wilson managed to dislodge the snake, which flung forward and coiled itself around the top of the control column, from where it let fly at Hannaford-Rice. its fangs striking the double fold of his tunic collar. They struck at the snake again, flipping it onto the instrument ancl, from where it fell to the floor and vanished. Fearing it would strike at thei legs, the airmen returned to the airport.

Ralph Janney, Rent Director, Dies Suddenly At Desk In Office Of Housing Expediter Collides With Fighter; Six Are Saved 1.0S ANGELES, May 13 (AP) One man was killed and seven others were feared dead today as an Air Force B-29 and a Marine fighter plane collided during a maneuver over the Pacific Ocean near Santa Catalina Island. Six men parachuted to safety and were picked up from the water. At least a dozen planes and several dozen boats both naval and civilian pressed the search for possible survivors.

The two planes smashed together at about 15,000 feet, reports indicated, the fighter ripping a wing off the bomber, which immediately burst into llamos and plummeted into the Pacific. Both planes were part of a joint Air Force-Marine exercise, with the fighters believed to be making intercept passes at a bomber formation when the accident occurred. An unidentified airman said it was a miracle that any men escaped from the spinning, smoking bomber. Possibility that any of the seven missing men would be found alive dimmed, as only seven parachutes were seen on the water immediately after the crash. Five survivors and the body of one Air Force man were picked up by the Navy's heavy cruiser Toledo.

A Coast Guard PBM plane picked up a sixth Air Force survivor and flew him to the San Diego naval hospital. The survivors included: First Lt. Emmett E. Muterspaw, SO, radar bombardier, 204 S. Main Middletwon, Ohio; Tggt.

Luce, with a warrant signed by his wife, Geneva, who told officers he had threatened to kill her. Detective Chief George T. Pearcy said Nowland told him that he had never passed a bad check for less than $100 and had never passed one in Cincinnati. He said he purchased the guns-two .25 caliber automatics, a .38 caliber automatic, a German .32 automatic and a .45 automatic at a recent antique gun show held at the Hotel Alms. He said he intended to resell them at a profit.

His wife said he had stolen four of them at the show. Nowland, who said he had been in Cincinnati for two weeks, told detectives he was a chemist and salesman for a leather cleaning oil and had sold $20,000 worth here. He said he was a graduate of the University of Michigan and that he speaks nine languages. From 1937 to 1950, he said, he served concurrent terms in penitentiaries in New York and Michi-. gan for passing worthless checks.

When arrested, he was wearing a diamond studded wrist watch, valued at $500. He gave the watch to Detective Chief Pearcy and asked the chief to return the watch to a Cleveland jeweler from whom he bought it on credit. Nowland said that last November he purchased a lifetime membership in the Moose for $210, and since that time he had passed $25,000 worth of bad checks Moose lodges throughout the country. to allocate scarce essential materials through June SO, 1953.
