WSB Plan Rejected By Oil Men
Denver AP. AFL CIO and independent oil unions refuse to end a week-old strike, signaling possible referral to President Truman as Wage Stabilization Board in Washington plans another meeting. Oil workers argue for continued action citing a long dispute since 1951 and limited WSB progress. A CIO settlement near Indianapolis offered 18 cents hourly rise. Tide Water Oil dispute in San Francisco stalled after a 15 cent proposal. Knight warns intensifying strikes if California talks fail.

Ex-Detective Chief Named In New York Shake Down Scandals
NEW YORK The boss bookie Harry Gross testified that former top city official William Whalen, once on his payroll, received a dinner and an expensive watch after becoming an inspector. Gross said five policemen on trial for lying about ties to him face retirement soon, potentially affecting punishments. He recalled Moran pressing for a $15,000 political contribution during Mayor O'Dwyer's 1949 campaign and described an arrangement with Inspector William P. O'Brien for protection in the graft era. O'Brien denied knowing Gross, while O'Dwyer, now ambassador to Mexico, offered no comment.
