‘"Kind Gentleman”
'1 Relieves Boy Of
• Money, Baggage
' WASHINGTON, (A>)—Ten days
ago Robert Hauptmann, 18, of
> Skagway, Alaska, left home to see
the nation’s Capital—a gift from
his father for being among the top
10 in high school.
Today, Robert wound up at
Washington’s park police head
quarters without money or lug
gage. All he had was a tale of woe.
It started when he arrived here
Friday afternoon and was eating
at a bus terminal and wondering
where to start his sightseeing.
So, he told police, he thought it
mighty kind of a man, about 20,
who joined him, to offer to take
him on a personally conducted
tour in a private car. They soon
were joined by two other men.
Robert got a tour all right . . .
the Capitol, White House, Lincoln
and Jefferson Memorials, John L.
Lewis’ home with Mount Vernon
next on the list.
But Robert never got to George
Washington’s estate.
Instead, he said he got a rough
housing and was relieved by his
hosts of about $344 and his lug
gage.
Red-haired, six-foot-two Robert
got in one parting shot—he tossed
a brick and hit one of his “guides”
in the head.
He told park police “Dad will
wire me some more money.”
“Dad” is Theodore Hauptmann,
a lumber camp foreman at Skag
way.

Who Wants To Be
Chief Of Police
EVARTS, Ky. {/?)—Mayor Elihu
Bailey announced Saturday that
the city council has hired a new
police chief, its fifths in a little
more than three months.
“Combs is his last name,”
Mayor Bailey said, “I never got
his first name. He is from Jackson,
Ky. If he’s not a good man he
won’t stay. Maybe he won’t stay,
even if he is good.”
The new police chief succeeds
George Sellers, who announced
his resignation Friday. Sellers re-j
signed while in jail at nearby Har
lan on a charge of drunkenness.
Mayor Bailey said his brother,
Abe Bailey, will serve as acting
police chief until Sellers’ succes
| sor arrives.
“Abe is just staying until the
new man gets here,” the mayor
! said. “He sure wants it known he
i is just temporary.” One of the pre
' vious four police chiefs was shot
and killed.
Sellers, who took the job Oct.
13, said he resigned, however, be- j
cause a man he arrested here had \
1 been releasd from jail without
posting bond.
The three previous chiefs were
Albert Smith, who resigned, Aug.
2; E. J. Baumgardner, who served
from Aug. 9 until he was shot to
j death Sept. 14; and H. T. Collier,
j who served from Sept. 27 to Oct.
11. Collier was quoted by the
mayor as saying he resigned be
cause he didn’t want to get shot.
No, lie wasn’t drunk. He was
just carrying the manhole cover
back to camp to play it on the
phonograph in the day room.

The tieup extends from San Fran- j

Negotiators today began draft
ing tentative contract language
covering points already settled.
Negotiations on other issues will
resume at 1:30 p.m. today.
Under the formula by which
peace talks were resumed last
week, they are limited to a 10-day
period which expires next week
end. If a settlement of the 75-day
old strike has not been reached by
that time, unions must submit the
employers’ latest fcffer to a vote of
their members.
Two issues which began the
strike last Sept. 2—wages and con
trol of the union’s hiring hall by
which men are assigned to jobs—
remain to be settled. Both sides
1 agreed “in principle,” however, on
hiring procedure “equalizing work
opportunities,” and wages were
not expected to prove a fatal
stumbling block.
As the strike began, longshore
men and employers were only 5
cents apart. The union wanted a
15-cent raise to $1.82 an hour, and
employers offered 10 cents.
Still to be settled, too, is a jur
j isdictional matter: whether the
