Strike Threatened
At Firm Making
Polio Vaccine
Detroit UR Parke, Davis
Co. and union officials met to
day in an effort to head off a
threatened strike which would
cut off a major supply of Salk

The talks were broken off last
week when an official of Local
176 of the CIO Oil, Chemical and
Atomic "Workers union charged
the company with refusing to
bargain in good faith.
Vaccine on Order
The National foundation of In
fantile Paralysis ordered 60 per
cent of the 18,000,000 cubic cen
timeters of the vaccine -needed
for its "no charge" program this
year from Parke, Davis and Eli,
Lilly & Co., of Indianapolis, Ind.,
the firrns major producers among
six firms licensed to manufac
ture the vaccine.
The union, which represents
2,000 Parke, Davis production
workers, has filed a 60-day no
tice of contract termination but
has set no date for a strike vote.
It seeks a 10-15 cent hourly pay
increase and reclassification of
jobs.
Company officials said pro
duction of the vaccine and other
pharmaceuticals is proceeding
without interruption but a strike
would cut off the production.
Proposal Discussed
Representatives of both sides
met with federal and state media
tors to discuss a company pro
posal which the union has term
ed "unfair."
Harold K. Daniels, director of
personnel relations for. the firm,
called the company offer, which
included an improved pension
plan and a three-and-a-half to
four-and-a-half cent hourly wage
increse, "the most liberal pro
posal we've ever been able to
offer our employees."
Representatives of both the
company and the union said they
would seek a peaceful settlement
of the issue in order to avoid any
interruption of the vaccine production.

Churchill impatient to return
to the political wars, ended his

Minister Anthony Eden in the
impending British elections.
The 80-year-old statesman

bareheaded before the graves
and then laid a laurel wreath on
one of the tombs in the bright
sunshine.

ing his vacation. They were a

Actress Susan Hay ward Fails
In Suicide Attempt; To Recover
Hollywood (U.P.) Actress
Susan Hayward attempted sui
cide early today by gulping
sleeping pills and was taken un
conscious to Cedar of Lebanon
Hospital where attendants said
she would recover.
Detectives were summoned to
the star's house after a frantic
telephone call from the actress'
mother, Mrs. Ellen Marrenner.
They found Miss Hayward, 35,
sprawled on her living room
floor. A movie script, "I'll Cry
Tomorrow," based on the life of
singer Lillian Roth, was found
by her side.
Detective G. W. Wilkerson
said, "If she hadn't gotten treat

been a goner. She was really out
when we got to her."

"there was no melodrama here;
Investigating officers s a i d
there was "no indication of do
mestic strife" despite reports of
friends that Miss Hayward and
her ex-husband, actor Jess Bar
ker, recently quarreled over cus
tody arrangements of their twin
sons. The couple was divorced
last year.
Friends said the two met last
Sunday in an attempt to iron out
differences over the children.
Barker reportedly "blew up" at
the session. Miss Hayward was
quoted as saying, "We are two
diametrically opposed people. In
the past when we have been
alone, violence has resulted."
Detective Charles Glazer said
he got Mrs. Marrenner's call at
2:30 a.m. (PST).
She said she had received a
call from her daughter, telling
her she was taking her life.
Glazer said Mrs. Marrenner
said "My daughter is Susan Hay
ward and I'm afraid she is going
to commit suicide. She called me
and told me 'Don't worry

Detectives Kenneth Browndell
and Wilkerson sped to Miss Hay-
ward's Coldwater Canyon home.
When no' one answered, they
broke in a patio door and found
the actress in the living room,
She was taken to North Holly
wood Receiving Hospital and
then transferred to ; Cedars of
Lebanon. A doctor said her heart
and pulse "are good" and that
she would "sleep off" the effects
soon.
Attendants said Miss Hayward
regained consciousness shortly
before 7 a.m. "and is resting com
fortably." Police said they found the ac
tress curled on the floor, dressed
in a . quilted white house coat
and powder blue pajamas decor
ated with red hearts. In the bath
room were two empty bottles,
one a prescription for a sedative
and the other labeled "bellade
nal." Her twin boys were asleep up
stairs, as were three servants.
She married the 35-year-old
Barker in 1944, and separated
from him several times before
the marriage finally ended.
Miss Hayward was born as
Edith Marrenner, daughter of a
wire chief with the Brooklyn
Transit Company.
She first came to Hollywood
to try out for the part of Scarlet
O'Hara, for which she was a seri
ous contender until the role was
Scientists May End
Disposal Problems
Los Angeles (U.R) Some day
we may see many of our pres
ent refuse disposal problems eo
down the drain, according to n
man who has made a study of
such problems.
Albert Bush, of the engineer
ing department of the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles,
points out that garbage grinders
have made considerable inroads
into the garbage disposal prob
lem. "With further developments in
the use of water transport we
may be able to get rid of other
household rubbish in a similar
way," he added.
"Disposal of all refuse at the
household level would aDpear to
be the best solution to both air
pollution and economic aspects
of the problem, if such methods
can be developed."
His studies have indicated that
present municipal incinerators
apparently don't solve air pollu
tion problems, "while collection
is expensive and merely trans
fers the problem to another loca
tion." "
