The ma- jority of the gains were small frac- tions, but there were many back- | ward areas in the list. Railroads, oils and motion pic- ture issues found the greatest de- mand and some of the best price increases. | Steels and some motors were laggard as were farm implements ; and radio-television stocks. Among advancing issues were | Santa Fe, Pennsylvania Railroad, | Gulf Oil, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., U. S.

One of the dead women was be- lieved to be the wife of the man} sought, John Christie, 55. Identity of the other two bodies was un- known. The condition of the corpses was such that police were unable to jdetermine immediately how the women died. Tenants of the building, occu- Pied*by a mixed lot of white and Negro families, told police neither Christie nor his wife had been seen for a month A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “It is thought Christie may | be able to assist us in our in-! quiries.”” The bizarre triple death was dis- .. 47; covered yesterday by Beresford ‘ 1.

Chamber Se By NORMAN WALKER ASHINGTON — The U. S. Chamber*of Commerce today op- TODAY'S Posed pompalety arbitration of @ational emergency labor disputes. A day earlier, such arbitration of STOCK MARKET, disputes big enough to threaten na- tional safety had been proposed by| NEW YORK «® — The stock | a top AFL union leader. i market raced ahead today in early Powell C. Groner, president of | dealings at such a fast pace that the Kansas City transit system | and spokesman jor the Chamber, | told the Senate Labor Committee | that invoking compuisory arbitra- tion is inconsistent with collective bargaining. Under compulsory ar- bitration, a dispute is referred to a third party or poard, whose deci-| sion is binding on the disputants. The House: Labor Committee re- ceived testimony yesterday from Al J. Hayes, president of the | AFL's International Association of Machinists, recommending com- pulsory arbitration as a method of | settling big strikes threatening the | nation’s health or safety. Under the present Taft-Hartley law such srikes can be held up, by 80-day cour injuncions, bu} here is no mehod of seling he basic employer-union dispues in- volved. The committee is consid- ering proposals for changes in he law. Groner said in his prepared} statement: “Voluntary arbitration proced- | ures assure both parties the free- dom to enter arbitration or not, as they choose. These are a valuable aid to normal collective bargain- ing, and the agreement to arbi- trate is itself the result of: bar- gaining. “Compulsory arbitration, wheth- er in national emergency situa- tions or elsewhere, must be recog- nized and opposed as the end of true collective bargaining.” Groner said antitrust laws should apply to labor jeaders and unions exercising what he called “‘monop- olistic powers.” But he cautioned that: the Chamber does not con- sider all large unions or multi-em- ployer bargaining reations as wrong or needing curbs. The Chamber’s witness also asked that the union shop arrange- ment be outlawed. This allows a union to negotiate a provision with an employer requiring that work- ers become union members once they are hired. Woodruff Randolph, president of the AFL's International Typo- graphical Union, on the other hand, asked the House committee yesterday to remove the present ben on the closed shop. Such an sarge ement permits an employer to hiré’only union members. Randolph said all such types of “union security” should be left to negotiations of employers and unions, ° Hiway Patrol To ° ° Buy Radio Units TALLAHASSEE (#—The State Highway Patrol was authorized to buy 200 radio units for its patrol cars from the Motorola Co., for $83,000. The bid was the second highest of three received. The Cabinet Board of Public Safety said tests had shown Motorola out-performs Radio Corporation of America sets which were offered for $71,550, A third bid, from General Electric, came to $96,000. The Patrol now} has RCA sets. Secretary of State R. A. Gray said the patrol three years “lost time and money because it made the mistake of taking the} low bid instead of the best bid.” TEMPERATURES AT 7:30 A.M., EST Atlanta ... Augusta Billings .

Last year he brought a stalk containing some 113 bananas, grown in the yard of his home, to The Citizen office, and yesterday he showed up with the above record-breaking specimen—a two and a half pound Jamaican Apple, also grown in his yard. The cultivation of tropical fruit has long been a hobby of Lewis’ and this specimen tops them all. Jamaican Apples of this size are extremely rare although there are quite a few such trees in Key West. Lewis planted the trees only about five years ago and this is their second crop of fruit. Although they sell for 30 cents per pound on the market, Lewis prefers to eat his and give them to his friends. The fruit is delicious—but its exact taste is said to be “beyond description.” Suffice it to say that the white-pulpy fruit has a sweet taste, similar to that of the sugar apple which abounds here. In addition to his Jamaican Apple and banana trees, Lewis cultivates sugar apple, lime, sour-sop and mangoe trees. He is a retired city employee and now is associated with the Florida National Bank.—Citizen Staff Photo. CIRCUS ZEBRA DIES (Continued from Page One) ing before the veterinarian ad- ministered a quieting drug. She said the lady rider seemed sympathetic but that at first cir- cus trainers were determined that the horse go on with the act. Mrs. Henning told them to put grease or salve on the places where the skin had been rubbed off to keep flies from the open wounds. “TI did see that the horses had alfalfa to eat and that others had clover hay, but the elephants had nothing,” she said. She also ob- jected to tiny children being al- lowed to run right pp to the ele. phants. The keeper ‘answered her by saying, ‘“‘What can we do? We have no fence and we can’t stop kids from getting so close all the time.” When she called attention to the untrimmed, unshod feet of the horses, the excuse given was that no blacksmith could be located.
