3,429 Mile Trip
SEATTLE. (iP)—On a bicycle
rig built for five, Mr. and Mrs. K.
Parker. Winterhaven, Fla., and
their three small children rested
Tuesday after a six-months, 3.429
mile trip across the country. They
left Winterhaven November 13.
Parker said that while on a war
job in Alaska he passed through
here and wanted to return to the
northwest. To his objections that
“if it weren’t for the kids, we
could go on bicycles,” his pert
wife replied: “Heck, we can do it
with the kids.”
He bought two bicycles and at
tached them side by side with a
rigid frame of iron bars. A sup
porting canvas bewteen held seats
for Dick, 8; Vonnell, 2; and
Dwight, 1. They shipped their ex
tra clothes and baggage about 200
miles ahead of them, and averaged
45 to 50 miles a day.
In Texas, an automobile wreck
ed their rig when it was parked
and in Los Angeles their second
set of bicycles wore out and they
bought two more.

Ford Foremen
Go On Strike
DETROIT, (/P) — An estimated I
3,800 foremen began a strike at i
the Ford Motor Co. at 10:00 a.m.
today.
Initial reports indicated the
strike affected only Detroit plants.
A spokesman for the union pre-1
dieted that the walkout would halt j
auto production at Ford “within |
10 days.”
The chief issues at dispute were!
listed as raiding of ranks of the'
unionized foremen at Ford, failure:
to equalize the wage structure,
recognition, shift differentials and'
overtime pay, and what he labeled
“arbitrary actions of the com-1
pany.”
