viously handed down against the
customary practice of "trip

Henry Grunewald,
Woman Companion
Overcome by Gas
Jersey City, N.J. (U.R Hen
ry (The Dutchman) Grunewald,
the Washington mystery man,
and a woman companion were
found half-clothed and overcome
by gas fumes on a couch in a
three room Jersey City apart
ment today.
Grunewald was taken to Jer
sey City medical center on an
ambulance stretcher, but later
was reported in "satisfactory"
condition.
Woman Identified
The woman, described as at
tractive, was identified by police
as Ann Anderson, 46, Catons
ville, Md., who moved into the
apartment early yesterday from
a nearby hotel.. She was revived
in the apartment and taken to
the hospital for observation.
Police said two burners on a
gas stove were turned on, but a
window was open, which prob
ably saved their lives.
Identified Through Papers
runewald was identified al
t immediately through pa
pers in his pocket.
"The Dutchman," who was
fined $1,000 and handed a sus
pended sentence last June 4 for
contempt of the Senate growing
out of an investigation into tax
fix cases, was understood to own
a summer home in Spring Lake,
N.J.
Police broke into the walkup
apartment after another tenant
smelled gas and summoned the
superintendent.
Police refused to comment on
the case pending an investiga
tion.
Mailing Changes
For Periodicals
To Bring Saving
Washington (U.R) The
Post Office Department believes
that steps it has taken to cut red
tape in mailing magazines and
newspapers will save time and
money for both the department
and publishers.
The department has just made
public changes in mailing regu
lations which it put into effect
in the last few weeks.
It said "substantial savings"
will result from elimination of
hand weighing of publications at
the time of mailing. Under the
new system, the publisher de
termines the weight of one copy
and multiplies it by the number
being mailed.
Another change permits pub
lishers to deliver their publica
tions directly to the post office
or railway station and pay post
age later. They formerly were re
quired to present copies at the
postoffice where they have a
second class permit before tak
ing them to the office or station
where they actually are mailed-
California Man Faces
Aufo Bailee Charge
Gerald Arthur Nolan,, 22, Los
Angeles, has been bound over to
the grand jury on a charge of
larceny by bailee involving an
automobile owned by A. F. Wil
liams, according to Deputy Dist
rict Attorney James McGood
win. Bail has been set in district
court at $1,500 by Judge Rawles
Moore. The car is alleged to have
been taken in July, 1952. In a
preliminary hearing, Williams
stated that he loaned the car to
Nolan "for 20 minutes" and did
not see it again for two weeks,
until it was recovered from a
California parking lot where
parking charges of $20 had built
up. i
Nolan was returned here to
face the charge from California.
He was extradited to Oregon aft
er serving a 10-month California
sentence for statutory rape, in
volving a 15-year-old Medford
girl.
THEFT REPORTED
The OK Rubber Welders show
on Billings hill, just north of
Ashland, was entered sometime
Wednesday evening, state police
were informed yesterday. A
check showed that a set of new
tires was stolen. - . .
effect Sept. 1, baa now been de
ferred until next March 1. This
move will assure continuation
of trip leasing for the entire
1953 harvest season when short
ages of trucks and freight cars
frequently plague growers of
perishable commodities, partic
ularly fruit, which must reach
the market with minimum of
delay.
Northwest fruit growers had
warned Congress early in the
past session that the ban on trip
leasing if allowed to go into
effect would impose an imme
diate hardship upon their trans
portation facilities.
Consequently, the House re
sponded by passing a bill to pre
vent the ICC from following its
planned course of action. But the
bill got bogged down in the
Senate before Congress adjourn
ed. A Senate committee, on ad
journment even, urged the ICC
to postpone its order until the
full Senate has time early next
year to settle the fate of the trip
lease bill with full debate. The
ICC obliged last Friday with a
postponement until March 1.
m m m
The trip lease practice arises
from the fact that trucks carry
ing agricultural and fish com
modities are exempted from ICC
safety and rate regulations un
like commercial haulers of manu
factured products. Farmers and
fishermen, therefore, have taken
up the practice of hauling their
produce to market and picking
up a load of another type for the
return haul, thereby cutting his
trucking costs.
To make this return haul, they
lease their truck for a single
trip (hence the term trip leasing)
and because of the exempt status
which they enjoy, they make
the haul at whatever rate they
and the shipper agree upon.
The ICC contends this con
tributes to unsafe trucking, since
the farmers vehicle is not sub
ject to safety inspections. Farm
groups contend it is necessary
to assure adequate transporta
tion, tbat it benefits the con
sumer by cutting overhead on
produce shipments.
The railroads, who must com
pete with this trucking, are
against trip leasing.
The v Eisenhower administra
tion has taken no firm position
on this practice, suffering from
a split between two departments.
The Department of Agriculture
has come out for continuation of
the trip lease, while the Com
merce Department has regis
tered opposition. The ICC de
ferral of the effective date of
its order postpones the day of
decision.
A combination of circum
stances has conspired to render
me trip lease situation uncer
tain at best. It began with the
death of Sen. Charles Tobey,
(R-N.H.), who had been chair
man of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. He was
succeeded by Sen. John Bricker,
(R-Ohio), a friend of the rail
roads who was a member of the
sub-committee which considered
action on the trip lease bill but
put it to rest in a pigeonhole
where no action could be taken
to kill the ICC order.
Getting wind of this develop
ment, Sen. George Aiken, (R-Vt.),
chairman of the Senate Agri
culture Committee and a friend
of the farmer, rushed through
his committee a resolution call
ing on the ICC to give the farm
er a reprieve until next year
when a final decision by the
full Senate could be obtained.

Donald. The princess seems determ
ined there shall be no more
gossip about her and divorced
Capt. Peter Townsend or specu
lation about her personal affairs.
Farmers Reminded
Of Regulations
On Child Labor
Salem (U.R) The uncertainty
of fall school openings because
of unseasonable crop harvesting
brought a reminder from Labor
Commissioner W. E. Kimsey to
day of child labor regulations
as they affect Oregon farmers.
Kimsey said that under fed
eral child labor law it is illegal
for any farmer to employ a child
under the age of 16, other than
his own children, during school
hours. When schools are not in
session there is no restriction on
the employment of minors in ag
riculture except in those cases
where minors are to be em
ployed on processing machines
such as portable or stationary
hop picking machines, prune
dryers and the like. Work per
mits obtained from the Labor
Department are necessary for
these jobs and to work on them
a minor must be at least 16.
Farmers are responsible for
every under-age child working
on their farms, Kimsey said.
He added that any doubt about
a child's true age can be cleared
by applying for a work permit
from the Labor Department A
farmer found to be wilfully em
ploying a minor illegally is sub
ject to a fine up to $10,000.
