TUMAN
5 SOLDIERS AND
CWIUANJAZED
Under FBI Probe, Pleads
Guilty To Child Theft To
Fool Marine.
San Diego, July 1 (U.R) FBI
agents today were investigating
the story of 23-year-old Mrs. Hel
en Kreger, who pleaded guilty to
child stealing this week, that she
had married five servicemen and
one civilian, and had sought a
divorce from only one, local FBI
Chief Harold Nathan revealed.
Mrs. Kreger said she "did not
know why" she had married so
many men, but claimed that she
had receiyed only one govern
ment allowance check from the
servicemen and had returned it
to the government, Nathan said.
Mrs. Kreger, of Vancouver,
Wash., where she said she had
applied for divorce from one
husband in April, 1943, pleaded
guilty in superior court here
Thursday to charges of child
steading and asked for proba
tion, a nearing was set for July 7.
At that time the much-married
young woman told the court
she had abducted a two-year-old
child from a downtown store to
represent to her Marine husband,
just back from 27 months in the
south Pacific as their own.
Their own child, she said, died
at birth and she did not have
the heart to tell her husband.
The FBI's investigation is to de
termine whether allowance
checks had been received in vio
lation of the servicemen's de
pendency act. Nathan said.

STILL IN DOUBT
Bismarck, N. D., July 1 (U.R)
The contest for Republican nom
ination for the U. S. senate re
mained in doubt tonight although
Sen. Gerald P. Nye, pre-war iso
lationist, held an 844-vote lead
over Lynn U. Stambaugh, for
mer national commander of the
American Legion.
The doubt existed because be
tween 10,000 and 12.000 absen
tee ballots were mailed to North
Dakotans in the armed services.
The deadline for return of the
service ballots Is July 17.
Stambaugh has indicated he
will ask for a recount should
Nye's final lead be less than 1500
votes.
Returns from all but 32 rural
pyecincts of the total of 2251
gave Nye 38,699 and Stambaugh
37,855.

Police today reported the arrest
of two youths, ages 17 and 14,
i who admitted they were the van

damage.
Neither of the boys had a pre
vious record with police or juve
nile authorities. They gave no
reasons for their act.

Telephone Service
Tuned to War Time
Says P.T.T. Chief
"Tuned as it is to the spirit
of the service," President Pow
ley of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company emphasizes,
in his statement accompanying
dividend checks mailed Saturday
to common shareholders, "that
the telephone organization, re
alizing not only the profound
importance, but also the full
significance of the European In-
vasion, has been performing with
its characteristic earnestness, ef
ficiency and courtesy which ac
cord with the finest traditions of
the service."
President Powley's statement
continued:
"Realizing not only the pro
found importance, but also the
full significance of the European
Invasion, our organization, tuned
as it is to the spirit of service, has
Deen performing with its charac
teristic earnestness and effort in
these emergency days with that
esprit de corps, efficiency and
courtesy which accord with the'
finest traditions of the service.
"All telephone services direct
ly essential to the war effort arc
being Installed without delay. Al
though the telephone demand for
new services is somewhat less
than a year ago, our backlog of
unfilled applications which can
not be cared for immediately be-
cause of lack of facilities con
tinues to increase.
Faced with a shortage of facill
ties and a record high volume of
long distance traffic, we appro-
ciate deeply the fine cooperation
of the public in aiding us to keep
the lines open for urgent war
calls of and for the calls of serv
ice men and women which are
usually rjade between 7 p. m
and 10 p. m., about the only per
iod of the day in which they
have an opportunity to make
their calls.
WAGE INCREASE
Grants Pass, July 1 A de
cision rendered by the West
Coast Lumber Commission of
the National War Labor Board
on June 24, brings to a close a
case involving the Grants Pass
A. F. of L. Lumber and Sawmill
Workers union and the Swede
Basin Lumber Co., according to
J. G. Wolf and R. R. Murray,
Medford, union representatives.
The case, involving wages,
paid vacations and other condi
tions of employment, was certi
fied to the lumber commission in
July, 1943, by the U. S. depart
ment of labor, when the union
and the company were unable to
reach a mutually satisfactory
settlement.
The commission ordered that
unless union or company files a
petition for review, or it is other
wise directed by the national
board within 15 days, the Swede
Basin Co. shall put into effect
for its Grants Pass operations:
A basic minimum wage of 90
cents per hour; a wage increase
of 10 cents per hour to all em
ployes in the bargaining unit in
Job classifications above common
labor; retroactive date for jvage
Increases, June 27, 1943; union
and company are directed t - ne
gotiate further concerning other
rates; the company shall grant
a paid vacation on one week for
the year 1943.
In a meeting held here last
Wednesday between union and
company officials, it was agreed
that neither party will file a
petition for review of the. com
mission's decision, and that the
union will now submit to the
company its suggestions for
further rate changes, in line with
the procedure outlined in the
order. Also, negotiations on the
union's request for extensive
changes in the existing work'ng
agreement will be resumtJ
shortly, according to Wolf.

IN STORE HOLDUP
Stockton, July 1 (U.R) Con
vinced that the daylight bandit
who held up two employees of
the Green Frog food stores this
afternoon and took $11,500 was
the same man who just a month
ago robbed employees of the
same firm of $5,500, Stockton
police were investigating the i
possibility tonight that the thief
has a confederate employed by
the grocery concern.
Because of the perfect timing
connected with both holdups as
well as the fact that each has
met with such lucrative success,
police stated that they were
conducting a thorough investi
gation of the possibility that
someone working for the stores
is involved.

YOUR COUNTRY
To all you who are serving in the armed forces of our country; your
country needs you back home as soon as your present job is finished to
help construct
$100,000,000,000
worth of public works, reforestation; restoration of soil fertility; flood
control; power development; irrigation and drainage projects and de
velopment of inland waterways; slum clearance; building of national
highways.
But first of all and above all else the development of "Garden
Cities" and acres in the country for home sites and one-family farm
units that you yourselves can own and build homes on. One-family
homes that can be handed down to succeeding generations which each
generation may add to and improve, tear down and build up, a never com
pleted job which will occupy more of each family's time in each gener
ation. Not .temporary homes, but homes surrounded by trees and flow
ers where children may be born and raised to manhood and woman
hood with a true understanding of family stability and love of home
a place for children to return to and pattern new homes after.
10,000,000 Workers Needed for the Job
The Republican platform declares, "there will be jobs for all work
ers"; the Democratic platform will declare, "There will be jobs for all
workers."
This means that plans for public works will be blue-printed and
ready for contracts by the time demobilization is under way. It means
that jobs in public works will be provided for 10,000,000 workers if
necessary
THIS IS AMERICA Your Country
Finish the job you are on and come home to this other job
$1.00 per hour minimum base wage
And the budget balanced for the account.
