O'clock Special ' f 7 wr.) 4Hvl ffis May Ask Another Pay Raise WASHINGTON Ufi John L. Lewis waa reliably reported today to be demanding s (l.M-a-day pay boost for hard coal miners the same amount the government part ly vetoed lor soil coal miner.. Lewis' .tr.tegy in doing this, the report said, was to give the government'. Wage Stabilization Board a chance to reverse Its decision on the soft coal pay ralic. Several week, ado Lewi, neito- tlated the ll 80 dally Increase with the bliuminou. (soft coal) indus try. However, last Saturday the WSB ruled that an Increase of only II. 60 could be paid. This brought on an Industry-wide walkout of the approximately jou.ouu son coal diggers. TAKE LESS It had been expected that Lewis would be willing to take lesa than I1.90 by way of a dally wage In crease In anthracite (hard coal). That Industry, employing about 03,000 miner. In Western Pennsyl. vanla, had obliged Lewla some time ago by agreeing to an Inter im arrangement boosting from 30 lo M cent, a ton the production royalty paid by mine owner. Into the union's welfare fund. Lewi, got only a 10-cent royalty ooosi lor uie son coal miners' wel fare fund. There la every reason to believe the WSB will not change Its mind on me i wj limit, having once maae It up. If it disallowed ll.M Increase lor anthracite work ers. however, they would be al- mosi certain to walkout.

Community Chest Campaign Gets Funds For 24 Groups By WALLACE MYERS So we have too many fund drives for various community service agencies 7 ... TOUtee' one big reason , and the' solution to the problem: - Th' local 'hd sutes agencies participating In the chest are sup posed to receive operating funds from the chest. Before an agency la accepted by the chest, that Grammer Found Guilty BALTIMORE Wl George Ed ward Orammer was convicted Thursday of first degree murder in the slaying of his wife, an al most perfect crime that looked like an automobile accident The verdict carries a sentence of death by hanging or life imprison ment for the 36-year-old New York office manager, accused of killing his wife so he could marry a pretty 28-year-old Canadian secretary who worked at United Nations head quarters. Circuit Judge Herman M. Moser, who heard the case and decided on the verdict without Jury at Gram mer'a request, did not fix the exact sentence Immediately. Grammer may plead? to Balti more's circuit court Judges for a new trial or ask the court of ap peals at Annapolis to find some thing wrong in tne nine-aay uiai and overrule the verdict. An appeal is almost automatic in Maryland in capital punishment cases. r Ifry lr4 ' . X v f"' P- T ! U. , . . '. J 4 COUNTY JAIL ISCAPEIS Robert Krai, 19, (leftl and John H.

"Thirty families huddled In our house," said Leavitt, ol Worcest er, Mass. "We took in as many as we could. The wind kept getting stronger and stronger. It blew away trees, rooftops and shacks. "At about 6 p.m. Tuesday winds got pretty bad. Things started fly ing all around us big things like narts of house, and whole trees. "After three hours uie winds died down completely. But In a few minutes they rose again to a fur ious pitch. I knew we were In the dead center of the typhoon." Leavltt said it was a weird feel ing in the darkness as the winds shrieked and howled. Communications lines were down. Telephone poles littered the roads. A large concrete bridge was down at one end. There were tens of thousands ol homeless In Legaspl Thursday night. Police said there were no offi cial figures available on casualties. Reports were scanty from outly ing areas, most of which still were cut off.

Take last year, for Instance. The chest, with a goal of 873.870, netted only a fraction under 10 per cent, or 851.616.
