2 Men Injured
As Workers,
Pickets Clash
Labor Picture
Remains Bleak
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
For the second day. violence
and injuries were reported Thurs
diy at the strike bound Sperry
Gyroscope plant at Lake Success,
N.Y.
And there appeared little prog
ress toward immediate settlement
of any o the nation's major
strikes.
CIO Electrical Workers re
sumed mass picketing at the
Sperry plant and two men were
reported injured. Several autos
were damaged as non-striking
workers tried to enter the plant.
A proposal by Southern gover
nors to immediately end the 39
day Louisville & Nashville Rail
road strike was rejected by non
operating unions. A union official
said the walkout would continue
until any arbitration is com
pleted. ARBITRATION VIEWS
The railroad had said it was
willing to submit to arbitration
"if the strike is immediately
terminated," but that the issues
to be arbitrated "should be rea
sonably limited." The union said
it was willing to submit the dis
pute over a health and welfare
plan to binding arbitration.
Meanwhile, a group of South
ern governors planned to meet in
Atlanta Saturday with represen
tatives of the Southern Bell Tele
phone Co. and the striking CIO
Communication Workers of Amer
- ica in an attempt to end the 39
day telephone strike. The union
demands arbitration on fringe
points and higher wages. The
company says that a no-strike
clause is the bar to a new con
tract. " PREVIOUS MEETING
Governors of six Southern
states and representatives of six
others had met in Nashville
earlier this week to discuss the
L&N and telephone walkouts.
Both strikes, marked by violence,
have cut deeply into the economy
over wide areas of the South and
Southeast. Unemployment mount
ed in many areas because of the
rail strike which has forced the
shutdown of some related indus
tries. No headway was reported In

coal miner Phillip Yazdzik wear
ily pushed back after eating his
31st order of fried chicken Wed
nesday and claimed a world record.
A two-fisted eater who disdains
knives and forks because "they
slow me down," the 42-year-old,
200-pound Yazdzik chomped
steadily from 9:30 a.m. to 2:50
p.m. to reduce 15 ',4 ten-ounce
chickens to a huge pile of bones.
He had said he could finish 40
servings, but declared himself
satisfied at 31. He figures his
record will stand, along with the
one he' claimed at Chicago Tues
day when he devoured 77 ham
burgers. '
Yazdzik, an Olyphant, Pa., coal
miner and delivery man, said
he'd like to get some exercise,
then dig into a few orders of
spaghetti and meat balls for dinner.
He passed up his customary
breakfast of 14 hot dogs and sev
eral quarts of milk as well as his
three dozen eggs for lunch to
concentrate on his chicken eat
ing. He put away 16 fourtcen-
ounce glasses of pop between
chicken bites.
Yazdzik, father of seven chil
dren, has a $130 a week food
bill for the family. In between
cooking meals, his wife works as
a cleaning woman to help with
the budget.
He got Wednesday's chicken
free, along with $150 and $100
expense money from the North
west Drive-In Restaurant where
he performed his feat.
London Newspapers Resume
Operation, Hail End of Strike
By HAL COOPER

LONDON ( A columnist in the
Daily Sketch started off Thurs
day: "when I was so rudely in
terrupted . . ."
The News Chronicle stoutly de
nied that it is dead.
A Daily Express cartooon show
ed a gentleman in a bowler hat
crawling around with a news
paper in his mouth while his wife
explained to a neighbor: "He has
to teach Rover all over again
how to fetch our paper."
YANKEE JIVE"
And the Daily Telegraph gave
thanks that Britons now can stop
trying to dig such Yankee jive as
"Redwings rip Leafs as Cana-
diens blank Bruins."
The great London newspaper
strike was over.
After 26 days in a muzzle, the
nationally distributed dailies,
most of them in expanded edi
tions, set out to tell their 15 mil
lion readers what they had
missed.
Such chit-chat, for instance, as
the retirement of Sir Winston
Churchill and that a general elec
tion is coming up May 26.
Emulating its New York coun
terpart after Gotham's big strike,
the Times carried a 12-page sup
plement which summarized the
lost news day by day.
BACKLOG OF BIRTHS
On the front page where they
always appear were four solid
columns of birth, death and mar
riage announcements. It was the
first installment of a huge backlog.
The Telegraph published an 8-
page supplement highlighting the
lost 26 days and most other news
papers hit the high spots in
smalltr condensations.
The papers reappeared with
such headlines as "Here we are
again!" "Read all about it!" and
"Good morning all!"
The tabloid Daily Mirror, whose
readers like pictures of pretty
girls, had to make a choice from

an accumulation of nearly four
weeks. And what was it? What
else but Marilyn Monroe on that
elephant?
COSTLY STRIKE
The Daily Express said the
strike had cost the papers 4 mil
lion pounds ($11,200,000).
The Telegraph remarked that
attempts had been made to fill
the news vacuum by flying in
newspapers from the continent
and New York. It implied strong
ly that the language barried kept
this from being entirely success
ful, especially the language bar
rier between English and Ameri
can sports pages.
'5 Giants hrs, Heam clobbers
Phils 8-3."
Frankly friends, they had trou
ble with that.
The newspapers took a serious
view of the Communist-led strike
and called for a government guar
antee against any repetition.
BOSSED BY REDS
The presses were stopped March
26 by a walkout of 700 electricians
and maintenance men seeking
higher wages.
They belong to the Amalga
mated Electrical Trades Union,
which is bossed by Communists,
and the Amalgamated Engineer
ing Union, which has strong Red
influence in its London branches.
They demanded a raise of $8.19
a week and finally settled for
$1.40 for day workers and $1.68
for night men plus a promise of
industry-wide negotiations later.
With the increase, wages will be
$31.08 for day work and $36.33
for night work. The average
weekly industrial wage in Brit
ain is a bit more than $28.
Prosecution Winds Up Case
At Portland Murder Trial
PORTLAND Wi The defense
began building its case Thursday
against the state's contention that
Wayne and Sherry Fong killed 16-year-old
Diane Hank last year
because she knew too much about
them.
The state closed its case against
the Fongs Wednesday after pre
senting medical testimony on the
girl's death. The state said Fong
was mixed up in narcotics and
gambling in Portland, and Miss
Hank had learned too much about
it.
The present director and the
former director of the Slate
Crime Laboratory indicated a
combination of alcohol and bar
bital killed the girl.
Dr. Joseph A. Beeman, the
former director, said he was con
vinced barbiturate poisoning did
it, possibly speeded up by combi
nation with alcoholic drinks.
Dr. Homer Harris, the present
director, said that could have
been the cause.
The Foncs have insisted thev
know nothing of the girl's death.
They said she was a friend who
stayed at their home the night of
Jan. 6, 1954, and last was seen
when she left for school Jan. 7.
The girl's bodv was found beside
a rnarl in fimtthwactorn Wachincf. I
ton late in February, 1954.
A defense motion for a directed
verdict of acquittal was denied by
Circuit Judge Alfred Dobson.
