The Week in California
Labor Disputes Continue;
Mitchell Promises Ruling
By United Pru International
The first days of summer,
like (lie last days of spring,
were clouded by continuing
labor disputes.
In Washington, Labor Sec
retary James P. Mitchell
promised fruit and vegetable
growers a quick ruling on
whether the federal-state em
ployment service can refer
workers to farms being pick
eted by the AKricultural
Workers Organizing commit
ter, AFL-CIO.
In San Francisco, federal
mediator Arthur Viat told
newsmen he was optimistic
that a settlement could be
reached in the strike that tied
up some 60 northern Cali
fornia canneries while mucli
FBI Captures One of 10
'Niosf Wanted' Criminals
Ray, Minn. - (LTD - A well
spoken burglar who had turn
ed his "smooth line" into a
hideaway job in the far north
woods was captured by FBI
agents Saturday, only two
days after he was placed on
the FBI's 10 most wanted list.
The FBI in Minneapolis
said a newspaper photograph
led to the capture of Richard
Peter Wagner, 42, a lifetime
criminal and an escapee from
the federal correctional insti
tution at Sandstone, Minn.
Wagner, working as a hunt
ing and fishing guide at the
Chippewa lodge in this resort
area about eight miles from
the Canadian border, offered
no resistance when seven
FBI agents accosted him.
The agents, representing
themselves as a fishing party,
came to the lodge after Min
neapolis attorney Philip Lush
reported he recognized Wag
ner from a photograph in a
newspaper.
Lush, vacationing at the
lodge with his family, said he
saw the picture Friday night.
Sources said Wagner, who
admittedly carried a i wed
off shotgun during a series of
burglaries, agreed to take the
agents on a fishing trip and
left his lodgings with a rod
and reel.
One agent who said he had
nrrested Wagner on another
occasion asked: "Do you re
member me?"
"Yes," Wagner said and sur
rendered. He was taken into
custody and transported to
Dultith, Minn., to face ar
raignment before a U.S. com
missioner. Lodge owner Bob Brice
said Wagner had worked for
him since May 13 under the
alias, "Alexander J. Ilejna,"
first as a cook and then as a
guide.
Brice said Wagner "had a
nice personality, was clean
cut. but had a smooth line
that inclined to stretch the
truth."
The FBI, in placing the
burglar on the 10 most want
ed list, described his as a con
firmed thief who is said to be
incapable of telling the truth"
and said he "displayed an ut
ter disregard for lawful au
thority." Wagner, a native of Ash
land county, Wis., walked
away from a work detail at
the Sandstone institution last
Pee. 17, just two months be
lore his 1 1-year term was up.
He had been confined for
carrying firearms and trans
porting a stolen car across
state lines.
Wagner, a part-time trom
lione player who was said to
be interested mainly ill hunt
ing and trapping, card games
and women, once boasted he
had committed M5 burglaries
in IS states in tour mouths.
The FBI said Wagner had

of the aprieot crop was ripen

the "overall problems imme
diate study and report on the
results of that study as quick
ly as possible."
He made the statement fol
lowing a two-hour conference
with representatives of the
California Farmers Emer
gency Food committee.
The 10 - man committee,
headed by John Zuekerman,
appealed to Mitchell to re
verse a ruling by Irving Fer
lu.ss, director of the California
Department of Employment.
Perluss held that the growers
were involved in a "labor dis
pute" which would bar re
cruitment of workers and
Mexican nationals from gov-
committed crimes in states
from coast to coast and had
spent most of his adult life in
prisons, including Alcatraz.
He had been arrested in Mis
souri, Minneapolis, Fargo,
N.D., California, Kansas and
Michigan.
Following his escape from
Sandstone, Wagner traveled
to New York, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Duluth, the
FBI said.

Los Angeles-ltlPD-The wid

his seat, holds a dim view of
President Eisenhower's world
trios.
In a nress conference Fri
day, Maurine Neuberger said
the President's trips impress
ed her as "window dressing'
and "just a sop to make peo
ple think something was be
ing done."
"A lot of negotiations could
be better handled through
the United Nations than
through the Summit," she ad
ded. Mrs. Neuberger said she
was a longtime admirer of
former Illinois Gov. Adlai
Stevenson, but did not rule
out a liking for Sen. John F
Kennedy (D-Mass).
Mrs. Neuberger, who said
she plans to attend the Dem

here next month, although not
as a delegate, was here for a

Later in the week, Perluss
said that all the communica
tions he had received from
the labor department had sup
ported his ruling on the ex
istence of a labor dispute.
Perluss said that if Mitchell
revised the federal regulations
dealing with disputes, the
slate would quickly comply.
In the cannery strike, ne
gotiations were scheduled at
week's end between the Cali
fornia Processors and Grow
ers Inc., Oakland, represent
ing cannery operators, and
Teamsters Union officials.
There were reports that the
union and the canners were
nearing agreement on wage
demands.
Gov. Edmund G. Brown
said he was "ready, willing
and able" to sit in with the
union and cannery represen
tatives to help with a quick
settlement of the strike. He
urged negotiators to "make a
supreme effort to take care of
these thousands of small
farmers who are being hurt
by this."
Leans Toward Jack
These were other news de
velopments in the state:
Kennedy: Gov. Edmund G.
Brown conceded that he is
leaning toward Sen. John F.
Kennedy as the Democratic
party's presidential nominee.
Commenting on press reports
that he is inclined toward the
Massachusetts senator, Brown
told a news conference that
"I wouldn't want to broaden
that statement." Then, the
governor added, "I have great
admiration for the way in
which Kennedy went into all
those primary election states
and discussed the issues frank
ly." Cheryl: A Los Angeles juve
nile court referee ordered the
return of Cheryl Crane, Lana
Turner's 16-year-old daugh
ter, to a school for wayward
girls from which she has
twice escaped. The ruling
went into immediate effect as
Cheryl was taken straight
from the hearing in Sanla
Monica to the El Retiro Mini
mum Security School for
Girls.

court refused lo disqualify
Los Angeles Superior Judge
Leroy Dawson from the sec
ond murder trial of Carole
Tregoff, accused as the ac
complice of her lover, Dr. R.
Bernard Finch, in the killing
of his wife. The joint trial
was now expected to get un
derway shortly. It was post
poned twice before because of
efforts to disqualify the judge.

field Saturday accepted with
enthusiasm Washington Gov.
Albert Rosellini's plan for a
Mexico to Alaska coastal high
way as an implied promise to
make available matching
funds from Washington for
the proposed Columbia river

Friday, Rosellini called for
a meeting of spokesmen from
four western states plus Mex

ish Columbia to map plans for
an international coast high
way from Juneau, Alaska, to
Baja, Calif.
Hatfield, in accepting the

They were designed to pave
the way for formal cease-fire j

To prevent any interference
while the talks were under
