PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FrITDAY,-APRIL 5, 1946 Striking DSR Operators Spurn Arbitration Recommendation; Vote Tie-Up Continuance representative said following today's mass meeting. City officials and DSR represen- tatives said they were at a loss as to what new steps might be taken to halt the paralyzing walkout which began at 4 a.m. Monday. Officials Bound By Edict They are apparently bound, they explained, by Mayor Jeffries' edict that there will be no negotiations HANDICAPS: Prof. Allen Comments on Forest Fires iIuman carelessness, b a d f ir e weather and particularly high wind have been outguessed on occasion but most great forest fires present this combination of handicaps to the fire protection agencies fighting them, Prof. Shirley W. Allen of the School ofForestry and Conservation said yes- terday, commenting on the series of forest fires which swept Michigan's lower peninsula last week. "It is likely traditional human carelessness is at the bottom of many of the separate fires reported in the two major disaster areas," Prof. Allen continued. "We have not yet per- fected an organization or equipment nor are we properly financed to take care of conflagration conditions which occur in highly inflammable cover, high wind and abnormally dry seasons." Recreational values throughout the region scorched by the fire will have to be discounted for many years in addition to the loss of physical prop- erties, he said. This will, of course, have a "profound effect" on local economy. The forest fires in northern Michi- gan have wiped out from ten to forty years of timber growth in the area, Prof. Willett F. Ramsdell of the for- estry school commented. while the trolley and bus operators remain on strike. The union had asked an 18 cent hourly wage increase to top the cur- rent average wage of $1.07 to $1.17 hourly. The city went as high as 15 cents, but this offer was with- drawn after the strike began. An International Union officer said today's mass meeting had resulted in the union's "flatly" rejecting an ar- bitration recommendation. Decision Is Unanimows Jack Storey, president of division 26, said the membership voted "unan- imously" to remain on strike until our demands are met." The international union, whose officers opposed the walkout, has continued to recommend arbitration of the issues, according to James Mc- Ginnity, International AFL represen- tative. Conservation Officials Asses Fire Damage MI, Mich., April 4-(-P)--Conser- vation officials trudged acros black- ened and burned sections of the Hur- on National Forest today in a first- hand effort to assess damage done by wind-fanned fires which' ate their way through the timberland Tuesday and Wednesday. Separate checks of the Yurned-over acreage were being made by H. R. Sayre, chief of the State Conserva- tion Department field staff, and Paul Newcomb, of the U.S. Forest Service. The Conservation Department set the or-iginal estimate of burned acre- age at 50,000 but Newcomb indicated this figure may be excessive. A complete assessment is expected before the end of the week, he said. Rains snuffed out the last embers of the great blaze which ravaged the Huron forest area after volunteer fire fighters sought for hours to check the conflagration. Wage Increase, Job Reduction Voted by House Salary Appropriations To Remain Stationary WASHINGTON, April 4-(IP)-The House today voted a $400 a year wage increase for federal employes, but specified that the increases be ab- sorbed by an accompanying reduction in employees by the affected agen- cies. Passage was by a roll call vote of 337 to 27. Rep. Dirksen (Rep., Ill.), who in- troduced the proposal, told the House that the only way the increased sal- aries could be granted without caus- ing inflation was by slashing the number of government workers. Dirksen estimated that on a basis of an average $2,000 annual salary, the government agencies affected would have to discharge approximate- ly 200,00 workers between now and July 1, when the wage boost would become effective. The amendment would bring about the reduction in employees by stipu- lating that salary appropriations for all government departments, except the Veterans Administration, be the same for 'the 1947 fiscal year as in 1946. The House action, following two days of heated debate, virtually tore apart a committee bill which would have granted civil service workers an 18.5 per cent across-the-board boost, including those receiving $10,000 a year or more. The bill now goes to the Senate, which has voted to grant employees an increase of 11 per cent. The final bill will have to be worked out be- tween representatives of both Houses. Morris Hal.. .

When razing started on the hall, examination of the building showed it remarkable that the first floor had held up so long, considering the con- dition of the beams in the basement. The band, which practiced in the large first floor auditorium, had given hard wear to the building which had been built for a private residence. Among the interesting tales related to the hall is that of Sidney Tremble. Tremble had the dubious honor of being the only person to broadcast from Morris Hall in a pair of pa- jamas. Several years ago, when Zeta Psi occupied the mansion to the south of Morris Hall, Tremble was sched- uled to appear in a 9 a.m. dramatic program.,Inr~ order to appear on time, he ran from he fraternity dormitory. through deep snow, into the studio- in a pair of pajamas. In the days of carbon microphones when hisses (not of the audience va- riety) were common annoyances in broadcasts, Samuel Sylvan Simon now a Hollywood producer, an- .nounced a musical program for Sid- ney Straight and Sibley Sedgewick soloists, accompanied by Grace Schneider. (They all sold sea shells by the sea, shore.) Among the Morris Hall boys whc made good are Steve Filipiak and Bo Ufer, who are announcers for WPAG; Ted Grace and Donn Chown, nowe with WJR; Wayne Nelson of CBS; Ward Call of WGN, Chicago; Jacl Gelder, who manages the Wheeling W. Va. stion; and Peter Arner o WPAT, Paterson, N. J.

H Finch, volcanologist, contended to- day that, had seismographs in the Hawaiian Islands been mannec around the clock, the territory coulc have been forewarned of the tidal wave which cost possibly 157 dead and property damages now estimatec as high as 50,000,000.
