dicts NEED MORE SPACE Census figures highlight coming school problems in the United States They reveal that 11057283 infants were born in the 1941 44 period against a total of 8548763 births registered in the 1933 36 per iod This is an increase of 2508520 or 29 per cent The need for school space resulting from this record war birth rate will first be felt in 1947 when children of the 1933 36 period begin to leave elementary grades and the bumper 1941 44 crop starts knocking at school doors Wartime population shifts census figures reveal will intensify the pressure on schools in many re

53 per cent Remaining Charges Growing Out Of Strike At Ken Rad Plant Dismissed On motion of City Prosecutor Wil liam Wigginton all remaining prosecutions growing out of the re cent Ken Rad strike were dismissed in police court Saturday by Judge John Wood The action was tak en at the request of Mayor red Weir who said he had made such a committment during a conference last month with union representa tives following which the union which went out on strike October 9 voted to end its walkout Seven cases were dismissed Saturday Pre viously fifty six charges of breach of peace against

Prosecuting Attorney Owensboro Kentucky Dear Mr Wigginton: As mayor of the city of Owens boro I desire to relate to you on occurrence in regard to the recent strike at the Ken Rad in our city including my efforts and acts which were more or less successful in bringing that unfortunate occur rence to an end As you know the strike had been in progress for approximately seven weeks: the situation in Owensboro had become most critical there was very apparent imminent danger of bloodshed and those of us who had for days been trying to bring about an agreement between the union and the company involved had spent many sleepless nights in our en deavors As you know the strike ended on Thanksgiving morning The imme diate cause of the ending of the strike was an agreement which I made with the secretary of the Ken tucky ederation of Labor Mr Ed Wyler I readily and frankly admit NOW! Is the time to sell your car while prices are still HIG We will pay the highest cash price for any make or model To replace outmoded school buildings like this one i 1 iff SO I' Hill Mil XL I to you that I overstepped my au thority in making the promises that I made However they were made in the utmost good faith and with the welfare of our whole community in mind I realized that in order for the promises which I made to be ful filled it will be necessary for me to have the cooperation of ether offi cials of the city of Owensboro in cluding yourself and bespeaking of you that cooperation I would now request that you enter a mo tion in the Owensboro Police Court to dismiss all prosecutions which are now pending in that court and which grew out of that strike The reason I make this request is that I promised that all these prose cutions would be dismissed in con sideration of the ending of the strike The union has carried out its part and the workers are back at work I make this request of you in my official capacity as Mayor of the City of Owensboro as all of the acts spoken of above and promises which I made were made in that same capacity Very truly yours RED WEIR Mayor

move to end the strike Mr Steele attended riday's Con ference at the request of Mayor Weir who called it together Mr Wilson told the officials In the conference that as city attorney he had no hesitancy in recommend ing the dismissal of all prosecutions growing out of the strike He said he believed the mayor acted in the interest of the entire community when he sought to end the strike and prevent further disorder and bloodshed Mr Wilson prefaced his remarks with the statement that he believes that Owensboro's word had been giv en since the mayor acting in an of ficial capacity had made the com mitment and that he believed that it would be regarded by labor as a breach of faith on the part of the city if the prosecutions were not dis missed I MORTUARY Dr Thomas Morrison Dr Thomas
