U S Mediators May Act to Head Off Ship Union Strike
U S mediators in Washington consider appointing a fact finding board to avert a walkout by deck officers threatening Atlantic and Gulf shipping at midnight. The AFL Masters Mates and Pilots Union seeks turnover in hiring, while oil tankers, coal carriers, and port vessels escape the dispute. If deadlock persists, a Presidential board could settle, or Taft Hartley actions may seek a court injunction. Lewis faces swift White House pressure on coal talks amid broader labor tension.

Blanket Over Body Linked to Missing Man
The mutilated body of 6 year old Linda Joyce Glacoft was found wrapped in a bright Indian blanket in a rubbish heap near La Cienega Boulevard. Police say the blanket came from the home of Fred Stroble, a 67 year old baker missing since last night amid a murder suspicion. Evidence at the scene included an axe head nearby and a knife in an incinerator. Investigators say Stroble had been sought since May 11 on a child molestation matter, with a bench warrant issued. The brutal case sparked an all night neighborhood search and drew police from the Crescent Heights area. The suspect is a known sex offender previously questioned in a prior case.
