SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Union io Reject Transit Firm Offer Pittsburgh (IP! Union ne gotiators in the longest mass transit strike in Pittsburgh his tory, said today they will "rec commend rejection" of a com pany offer for a 26-cents hourly v.age increase in a three year contract. The strickers, now in the 46th day of their walkout, vote on the offer Friday. Gilbert Tietel. business agent for the 2.200 striking employees of the Pittsburgh Railway com pany, said the contract proposal offered too little over too long a period of time-. "The proposal made by man agement would give us less for three years than is adequate for two years," he said. C. D. Palmer, president of the street car and bus company, said the new rate would put Pitts burgh "ahead of every transit operation in the United States." The base rate of the em ployees, prior to the strike, was $2.14 per hour, including a 4 cents cost of living increase. The transit union has asked for a 36-cents per hour increase and additional fringe benefits. Under Palmer's proposal, the strikers would get an immediate 12-cents per hour increase and subsequent increases that would bring the average in the third year to S2.40. The strike began Nov. 14 when the union rejected a com pany offer for a two-year con tract containing 16-cents per hour wage boost. Thursday, November 28, 1957 -jr fktfrivt. CAR AT AIRPORT.

By DICK HUMPHREY United Press Correspondent Salem OP! The State Police Criminal Identification Bureau should be faster and more effi cient when a major overhaul now being undertaken goes into effect next July 1. Expansion of the identifica tion bureau to make it the 'first true central crime reporting agency in the state is being undertaken despite failure of the recent special legislative session to pass House bill 470 of the regular session over the gover nor's veto. It passed the Senate but was killed in the House. Gov. Robert D. Holmes favors expansion of the bureau, but vetoed the bill on grounds its mandatory provisions might bring about the indiscriminate fingerprinting of juveniles and persons accused of crimes which involve not too high a degree of negligence. However, Sen. Carl Francis, Dayton, got the bill re-passed in the Senate during the special session on the strength of an opinion by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton that police now have the authority to fing erprint anyone involved in a crime, including juveniles.. Francis said the bill would make no change in the statutes governing fingerprinting as the governor had suggested in his veto message. 24-Hour Day Set However that may be, the cur rent expansion is proceeding on a voluntary basis. . George A. Kanz, who has headed the bureau since 1941, said this is what will happen July 1: The bureau will go on a 24- the "M.O." file is of great aid in hour, seven-day-a-week basis Local police agencies will vol unteer daily crime reports from their areas of felonies and mis demeanors involving sex. The crime reports, including fingerprints, will be key punched for rapid processing through business machines. An important feature of the crime reports will be informa tion as to the modus operandi or method of operation of criminals who tend to get into ruts. Here Newspaper Toured By Howard Pupils Howard school seventh grade pupils recently toured the Mail Tribune. They visited the advertising, news, circulation departments in addition to the back shop.

Kanz noted that getting such information onto file cards is quite a job. For instance there are 172 different ways listed that robbers operate and the same problem is faced in describing burglars and other types of criminals. 530.000 Prints On Hand But when- standard crime re porting forms are developed for use throughout the state and the material put on punch cards, po lice hope they can tlo a better job of solving crime and even prevent some of it. Also police will be able' to detect crime trends in different areas of the state and improve crime statistics. The bureau already has some 530,000 fingerprints and about 230,000 pictures. They include not only persons arrested in Ore gon, but in other western states as well. Kanz said that the support of local sheriffs and police depart ments has been excellent and that he has heard no objections to expansion of the bureau. Some citizens are touchy about being fingerprinted and photographed and there have been cases in which individuals sued to get their fingerprints back. There doubtless are some genu ine legal questions involved, but several judges have . held that fingerprinting is not too great an invasion of privacy, but mere ly a routine identification meth od. The courts seem to have taken the line that the honest man has nothing to fear. 1W SWEATER Was a Perfect Fit ... Until she sent it to one off the "Old 'Fashioned Cfleaners.
