I UNCOLLECTED TAXES AT NEW LOW I The Cjallup Poll Congressional Action On Strike Wave Requested By Voters In National Poll Three In Every Four Be | Jieve Government Should Step Into Disputes by GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 16.—A large majority of the American people think the time has come for fortress to take action on the strike situation. The country is not anti-union and never has been in recent years. But it shows signs of increasing im patience with labor - management disputes that lead to work stop pages which tie up essential public services or paralyze whole cities. The average American, polls have found, resented strikes in war time; evidence today shows that he resents them almost as much in peacetime reconversion. And the mood of the country, as judged by comments made to the 220 interviewers for the Institute who conducted the survey through out the nation, is not for a hands off policy on the part of the gov ernment "in the present crisis. The general attitude of the peo ple is shows in the following sur vey: "Do you think that Congress should or should not do any thing about the strike situa tion?” The vote: Should ______74% Should not ___14 No opinion ____12 THOSE WHO favor some kind of action were asked, “what should congress do?” Their replies show that while some are for action favorable to unions, such as a general wage rise, nevertheless the dominant "eight of opinion is on the side of action to control or regulate or ganized labor. This sentiment found reflection in one branch of congress last week when the house passed the Case bill to regulate labor management disputes. The 74 per cent who favor ac tion of some kind divide into groups in tho fnllmiTi'nrf • O * **,*'*’-'• ... 48'; favor action involving some sort of discipline of labor unions. 59c favor a general policy of granting union demands for higher wages. 8 ' think the government should define its labor policy and then enforce it. 12' offer miscellaneous sug gestions or have no opin-' ion. 74% THE PEOPLE who want discipli nary action have varied ideas as 0 now far that discipline should go. substantial number would take uy labor’s strike weapon entire ' a. ma^ng all strikes illegal. . i,other important group wants ■'s diastic action—legislation, for hn!^P e’ t0 set UP fact - finding aois or cooling-off periods such mc'ided81Clent Truman bas recom stHtClS ,',vouid do little about nat.

V. i : Long-Distance Sleuthing Locates Missing Boy Here Telephone Call To Formei Girl Friend Gives Travel er’s Clue To 16-Year-Old An innocent telephone call to a former girl friend, long-distance sleuthing and the alertness of Miss Joyce Dunham' Wilmington Trav elers’ Aid society worker, is re sponsible for a 16-year-old youth being returned to his home in Hav erford, Pa. The youth, according to records of the society, left the school he was attending in Pottstown, Pa., about 10 days ago. According to his father, a textile manufacturer, the boy would have been graduated in June of this year. The father said his son had com piled an excellent school record during the past four years, but apparently had “lost interest” in everything; nearly everything, any way, about a month ago. When the boy was reported ab sent from school, the famliy noti fied an aunt living in Asheville, and a volunteer TAS worker. The boy had visited two years ago. At that time he had become interested in an Asheville girl. A casual conversation between the aunt and the mother of the girl a few days after Jack’s disappear ance revealed the boy had called his Asheville sweetheart, but had failed to reveal where he was staying. The mother said she thought “central” had mentioned the word Wilmington when she answered the telephone, but she was not posi LX V V- . Lillian F. Smathers. executive secretary of the Asheville TAS, thought of Wilmington, Del., due to its proximity to Haverford. A check through long distance rec ords failed to reveal such a call having been placed from the Dela ware city. The Asheville TAS then contacted the Wilmington society and ex plained the situation to Miss Dun ham, on duty at the time. Miss Dunham called local re cruiting offices after having been informed the boy had once talked of wanting to join the maritime service. Failing to find trace of him through those sources she contacted several local hotels. The register of the Hotel Wil mington revealed a registration from Pottstown, but the name was not the same as that of the miss ing boy. The TAS worker did not call the room 4 of the Pottstown guest, but did call the parents of the missing boy. She gave the room number to.the father and told him his son.might be registered. She could give no assurance it would be the missing sort, however. Within 30 minutes the parent called Miss Dunham and told her he had just completed .a telephone conversation with his son the registrant. Jack returned to Haverford and another TAS service-completed record was placed into the files. favor compulsory abitration of la bor disputes—a step which unicV leaders have long opposed. Rightly or wrongly, the public seems to place more blame on or ganized labor than on management for the present strike situation. The number in the poll advocating action to curb management was small — evidence which suggests that unions face a more serious public relations problem than man agement in the reconversion peri od. F Wilmington Camellias Delivered In Illinois After Overnight Flight Take it from Mrs. Gordon Doran, 105 Columbia avenue, Forest Hills, the wonders of this Air age are never ceasing. Wit ness: Friday noon Mrs. Doran cut a dozen camellias from her gar den, wrapped their stems in moist cotton, packaged them firmly in a cardboard box and mailed the carton special de livery airmail from the Wil mington postoffice at 1 p. m. destination: A suburb of Chica go, III. Yesterday morning—18 and 1-2 hours later—Mrs. Doran re ceived a telephone call from the recipient of the flowers, Mrs. Paul Nanzig of Wilette, 111. The flowers had arrived there safe ly and just as fresh as the hour they had been cut. “Imagine,” Mrs. Nanzig, the sister of J. H. Niggel, New Hanover county election board member, said, "camellias here and it’s snowing!” LOS ANGEES MAN BEATEN TO DEATH LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16.—(IP)— The nude body of William H. Bon sall, 40, prominent attorney and politician, was found in a pool of blood in the driveway of his luxuri ous home last night after a neighbor heard sounds of a terrific fight and shouts for police. Inside the house, police found evidences of a bloody struggle that led from the expensively furnished living room where a fire still burn ed on the hearth and a radio play ed, to the dining room, kitchen and den, where furniture was smashed and blood-smeared. They also discovered a note which read: “Bill, I am going out to din ner. Will see you later.” In the den, the telephone was splotched with blood, as if the vic tim had tried to summon aid; a piece of a metal desk calendar lay near a window, and the window it self, though which the attorney ap I parently had jumped to escape his assailant, was smeared with blood. Outside near the body, police found a long piece of pipe. Bon sall’s face had been beaten beyond recognition, but Det. Lt. Roy Vaughn said identification was es tablihsed positively by fingerprints and otherwise. The attorney’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William N. Bonsall, who lived with him, were located by police in Carmel, where they went ten days ago for a visit. They told police they could shed no fight on the slaying.
