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.

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

tracing crime to individuals.
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.
