California Legislature
Acts 'Against Sex Cases
SACRAMENTO; Calif.,. P -The
state legislature ' has decid
ed to invoke stricter penalties
including the death sentence
against sex criminals.
The Senate gave unopposed ap
proval to a series of bills aimed
at psychopaths who prey on wo
men and children. The assembly
already has passed similar or
identical measures.
Under these bills the death of
a child under 14 as a result of a
sex offense could be defined as
first degree murder. As such it
could be punishable by death
in the gas chamber. Prosecutors
would not be required to prove
premiditation as a necessary
factor in the first degree mur
der. These measures also would re
quire registration of sex crimi
nals, send second-offense moles
ters of children to prison for five
years and double the present 1U
years sentence for crimes again

American Ships Warned
To Stay Out Of Shanghai
WASHINGTON UP) The Sta
department has formally warned
all American ships that the block
aded Chinese Communist port of
Shanghai is a danger zone which
American vessels should avoid.
The action appeared to be a
new government move to dis
courage the Isbrandtsen Steam
ship company from sending iU
ships into Shanghai. They are the
only U.S. vessels now operating
in that area and In recent weeks
two of them have been shelled
by Chinese Nationalist gunboats.
The action also follows the ap
parent failure of efforts by Sec
retary of State Acheson to obtain
assurances from the Nationalist
government that there would be
no further attacks on American
ships.
The Nationalists were reported
here to have indicated they will
not permit the next American
vessel which tries to run their
blockade of Shanghai to get away
unmolested.

taxied to complete the landing, it
suddenly ground looped and
crashed into the entrance of the

Santa Harold Nelson of Grand
Marais stepped from the badly

Employers Must
Deal With Union
On Meals' Prices
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-P
The National Labor Relations
board ruled 4-1 Saturday that the
operators of a sawmill deep in
the woods had to bargain with
his workers' union on prices of
meals charged at the company
dining rooms.
The board refused, however, to
order the timber firm to pay
back to the workers meal price
increases the company put into
effect without consulting the un
ion. The case Involved the Weyer
haeuser Timber compapy's saw
mill and logging camps near Kla
math Falls, Ore., and the Inter
national Woodworkers of Amer
ica local 6-12.
The board found that the saw
mill and logging camps are so
far away from town that some
workers are required to live and
eat at company facilities. ,
The four-man majority . said
this meant the prices charged to
workers for meals served by the
company are part of their con
ditions of employment and the
employer is obliged to bargain
with the union on any meal price
changes.
Board member J. ' Copeland
Gray dissented, saving the ma
jority ruling was "an unwarrent-1
ed extension of the bargaining !
obligations placed on the em-1
pioyers under me (Federal Labor
Relations) act."
The majority said that prices
of company-served meals at iso
lated sawmill and logging camps
has been a matter for a "sub
stantial amount of collective
bargaining" in the industry in
the past.
