awaiting the return of Harry
Bridges.
The CIO longshore boss had

cisco by air this morning.
Leaders of his striking Inter

Cyrus S. Ching, director of the
U. S. conciliation service.

any peace try here fails. The
last negotiation effort here col
lapsed Friday.
An employer spokesman said

the companies' decision would
not be made until after Bridges

Suicide Note
Reveals Crime
Ecorse, Mich., Aug. 24 U.R)
The suicide note left by an ec
centric uncle who strangled his
"favorite" niece after taking
"indecent liberties" disclosed to
day that he believed sex per
verts like himself should be put
to death.
A two-day search for nine-year-old
Barbara Jeane Aberle
ended last night when her nude
body, with her own blue jumper
tightened around her neck, was
found in a log-covered grave.
The searchers were directed to
the lonely spot by a crude Inco
herent note discovered in the
shirt pocket of the body of the
uncle, Arthur Mayer, 30, found
several hours before in a wood
ed area four miles away.
In despair over what he had
done, the ne'er-do-well odd-jobs
man wrote the note, telling
where the girl's body was bur
led. Then he killed himself by
firing a .22 caliber rifle bullet
Into his brain.
"I don't know what came over
me to take indecent liberties
with her," Mayer wrote In a
cheap notebook. "When she said
she would tell what I did to her
I knew I had to lake her life,
"Then I knew I must take iny
own life, so will do so," the note
continued. "There ought to be
capital punishment in Michigan
for people like me."
Mayer warned mothers whose
daughters "become sex-conscious
at a young age."

Prune Selling
Not Monopoly
Washington, Aug. 24 ) A
complaint charging the North
west Dried Fruit association,
Portland, Ore., and its members
with consniring to create a mono
ooly in the sale of prunes has
been dismissed by the federal
trade commission.
Commissioner William A.
Ayres, in an opinion in which
the full commission concurred,
said the complaint had involved
a contract clause designed to
protect sellers against delivery
obligations. This hinged on whe
ther the crop was unusually
damaged by weather conditions.
Ayres ruling noted the asso
ciation comprised virtually all
the prune industry in Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho. The
members produce what amounts
to the nation's entire output of
Italian-type prunes. The case
Involved the crop year of 1941
42. The opinion concluded:
"There Is little to Indicaie
(hat It -would be in the public
interest to Institute further pro
ceedings at this time to chal
lenge the legality of the agree
ment by which the respondents
adopted the uniform future
sales contracts in 1919.
The Oregon Prune Exchange,

ers Packing Corp, Vancouver,

case.

Vigilantes Say
Cohen Is Front
Los Angeles, Aug. 24 (IP)
Mickey (The Mouse) Cohen will
have more than the cops to con
tend with soon.
A new vigilantes committee
yesterday charged:
Mickey Cohen is merely a
'Mickey Mouse' front man for
the real vice overlords. We are
determined to find out who these
vice lords are and name them
publicly."
Then it announced It would
immediately open an Investiga
tion bureau to sift information
from private citizens on crime
and vice conditions in Los An
geles, and turn the facts over
to slate and federal authorities.
The vigilantes, organized re
cently by a veterans group, called
a mass meeting for tonight and
Invited local, state and federal
law enforcement officers to at
tend. Cohen, who has been willing
enough in the past to talk with
newsmen, yesterday declined to
talk wilh District Attorney Wil
liam Simpson. Simpson had said
he wanted to ask the little gam
bler about reports that Cohen
had paid $20,000 for a copy of
the transcript which police( us

of conversations in his home;
Rebuffed, Simpson said he Is
interested in seeing if police
officers who operated the lis
tening post "can provide enough
sworn testimony to make a case
against Cohen." These officers
currently are being questioned
by Simpson.

Washington, Aug. 24 m -An
effort to force a house-passed
bill liberalizing the displaced
persons act out of the senate ju
diciary committee was initiated
today by top senate leaders of
both parties.
Democratic Leader Lucas of
Illinois, Senator Taft of Ohio,
chairman of the senate republi
can policy committee, and oth
ers introduced a resolution to
discharge the committee from
further consideration of the
measure.
The resolution, if approved by
a majority of the senate, would
have the effect of taking the
legislation away from the judi
ciary committee and putting it
before the senate,
Lucas said the bill passed by
the house would permit the entry
of "many more persons with
Catholic and Jewish back
grounds. It also would increase
the number of displaced persons
who could be admitted to this
country from 208,000 In two
years to 339,000 in three years.
