Mayor, Other City Officers Indicted In Detroit Suburb Detroit (U.R) The end of an era has been reached in subur ban Ecorse with the Indictment of the city's mayor and 29 other persons by a one-man grand jury probing graft and corruption. Ecorse, a brawling, rough-and-tumble type of town during the prohibition era, wore the placid face of respectability in recent years but underneath it remained the same old wild-and-wooly place. The mask was lifted Friday when circuit Judge Theodore R. Bohn, the grand juror, issued mass indictments against Mayor William W. Voisine, 13 other city officials and 16 other per sons. Indictments Charge The indictments charged con spiracy to violate the state gam bling laws, extorting and accept ing bribes from gamblers and such other operations as dope peddling and bookie operations dL Beck's Wfc Strike Against Mill At Feather River Is Reported Near End Feather Falls, Calif. (U.R) The bitter strike against Feather River Pine Mills here was re ported nearing an end Saturday after more than two years of bitter disagreement between un ion and management. Representatives of the Broth erhood of Carpenters Union and the Georgia - Pacific Plywood Corp. were said to be drawing up a new contract which would sat isfy both sides. The mill had been operating without a con tract and with non-union work ers throughout the strike. Observers believed the con tract was a clear-cut victory for the union. Meanwhile, violence in this mountain lumber town continued in the absence of official agree ment. Sheriff Larry Gillick said a union official was beaten by a mill worker with an ax handle. According to an unconfirmed report, some company equipment was sabotaged back in the hills and the culprits were beaten by workers there. Union Official Struck The sheriff said James Gon zales of Sutter Creek, an official of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union, was struck sev eral times about the arms as he protected his head from the ax handle blows. Wielder of the ax handle was reported to be Jess Peden, a Feather Falls lumber worker. Peden claimed he blacked out and did not remember striking Gonzales. The violence started five weeks ago with the burning of a railroad bridge over the south fork of Feather River canyon. The next day picket activity Ermine, prized for centuries as royal raiment, is actually the winter coat of weasels, which turn from brown in summer to pure white in snow season, ex cept for jet-black ends of their tails. which allegedly netted the prin cipals thousands of dollars a month. Among the city officials in dicted besides Voisine were the purchasing agent, city control ler, personnel director, two councilmen, three police inspect ors and all four members of the police and fire commission. Other indictments were filed against a newspaper publisher, two businessmen and two gam blers. The Ecorse crackdown was the second major move made by Bohn since he began his investi gation into suburban Detroit politics two months ago.

DANDEE bread smoother-than-sillc white bread-is just one of 32 varieties of 'TffcuUitf "pxeii delivered to your grocer's fresh from Beck's ovens every day I 7ea DANDEE was stepped up. Then came beatings of work ers, threats to their families, the bombing of a trucking execu tive's Sacramento home and the dynamiting of a lumber truck in an apparent attempt to blast it into the canyon. No persons have been hurt seriously, and the union denied any connection with the violence. Manager Replaced Under the reported terms of the settlement, the company agreed to replace William W. Gamble, general manager of the mill and the Feather River Rail way Co. which is also owned by Georgia-Pacific. His succes sor was expected to be Frank Wilson, chief engineer for the mill. The company also agreed sign a union contract which. In effect, would be a continuation of the contract the company terminated when the strike start ed in June, 1954. These two points were con sidered the major demands of the union. Union spokesmen said the new contract would require all the company's 30 employees to join the union within 30 days. Com pany spokesmen disagreed, say ing only new workers would have to join. -LOCATIONS O -HOUR SERVICE! 702 West Main 844 South Riverside Fastest Cleaning a Latest Type Equipment a Free Ford Tickets Convenient Drive-Up Windows DRIVE-IN CLEANERS l N. 6KAPI PH.
