Camp White Army ammuni
tion which may be found in the

areas, or in other areas near
this post, should be left strictly
alone, Camp White headquar
ters warned today.
This warning was issued to
save persons who may find un
explodcd ammunition from pos
sible death or serious injury,
Capt. Raymond R. Althouse,
Post ordnance officer explained.
All types of ammunition are
extremely dangerous, and even
the slightest touch may explode
what appears to be a dormant
shell, the officer explained.
Persons, upon finding a shell,
should not make any effort to
move the ammunition, but mark
Its place, and report its loca
tion. This should be done by call
ing the Post Provost Marshall,
Medford, 5221, extension 2104.
Persons calling should leave
their names and addresses, and
the location of the shell. They
also should inform military au
thorities where they may be
reached to assist in locating the
dud, if it is needed.
Ranchers now using the Post
ranges for grazing cattle are to
be commended for their co-operation
with Post authorities,
Capt. Althouse said. They reg
ularly report any unexpended
ammunition they may find.

WLB RECOMMENDS
DENIAL OF ICE
T
Washington, Aug. 5 (U.R)
Three panels of the War Labor;
Board tonight recommended de-,
nial of union demands for gen
eral wage increases above the,
"big four" meat packing com-!
panics. 1
The panels said, however, that
should there be any revision of!
the Little Steel Formula as a re-
suit of other cases pending be-;
fore the WLB, the employes of i
Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
Cudahy Packing Co., and Wilson
& Co., Inc., should "manifestly
obtain the benefits of any such
change in policy."
The panels pointed out that in
February, 1943, the WLB had
decided that employes of the.
b e four Dacking companies noa
exhausted the amount of in
creases allowable under the 15
per cent limitation of the Little
Steel Formula.
A wage increase from $46.50
to $50 a week retroactive to
Feb. 4, 1944 was recommended
fnr the 58 emnloves in Swift
and Armour plants in San Fran
cisco represented by me sausage
M.iknrs Union (AFL). The in
crease makes the wage tnerej
conform to that paid other mem
bers of .the union in ine oau
Francisco area but the panel
ruled that the boost should not'
form the basis for future claims I
by sausage makers in other j
plants or parts of the country, i
The United Packinghouse;
Workers nf American (CIO) had
demanded a general 10 cents'
m hmir wasp increase for 120,-1
000 employes in 21 Armour, 16 ,
