Show Sunday, June 15, 1947 SUNDAY HERALD Montana Cities Continue Feud In New Blast Weirton Steel Boss Proves Popularity; Elected Mayor 'By NEA Service WEIRTON, W. Vs., June 14 ,i(NEA) After working under ..him for 11 years in a steel mill, ,.Weirton workers have ' chosen ""their boss to run their brand new city, too. ' Thirteen years of almost continual con-tinual NLRB proceedings against the Weirton Steel Co. may have 'led outsiders to imagine that the boss wasn't high on the pop- I ularity list. ' But, when tne village ana lis 'suburbs were incorporated this ' spring as a city, and it came time to elect a mayor, the voters '.decided almost five to one on Thomas E. Millsop, who in 24 years worked his way from dime-an-hour open hearth helper to president of the company., ' Weirton is inhabited largely by men who work for the steel company, com-pany, and their families. Millsop j has been the big boss for 11 .. years. Out of the past 159 s months, the company has spent 141 months fighting unfair practices prac-tices charges before the NLRB. Weirton is a Democratic community, com-munity, Millsop is a Republican. 'Though the election was non-c non-c partisan. Constable Steve Bar--ione, his opponent, is a Demo-; Demo-; .crat. " But Millsop won 5053 to 1138. He carried 22 of the 23 precincts, "and split the other II to 11. In :: his . own" precinct, which houses far more steelworkers than ex-' ex-' ecutives, he won 368 to 4. STARTED AT 14 Millsop went into the steel mills at the age of 14. Until World War I came along, he played semi-pro ball on the side. Then he enlisted in the Marines, coming out a flying captain. 2- After the war he drifted around a.;, the steel-selling business until he came to Weirton as a salesman in 1,1927. - Nine years later, at the age of 37, he became president. He was described then as the youngest - man to head a major steel com-.lpany com-.lpany in modern industrial history. Weirton is not popular with all .organized labor. The CIO steel-f steel-f workers do not care much for f him. For 10 years they have tried hard, and vainly, to organ- ize the mills. They haven't sue-t sue-t ceeded yet.

I The secret, labor experts say, is that Weirton and Millsop tire smart. $ "'They keep a jump ahead of the CIO all the time on wages and working conditions, one pro-CIO observer told NEA Service. - "Certainly the CIO -didn't care about having Millsop become "mayor. They felt that he had been put into the race so that the company could keep control Over the community under its new city government. But the fact that the CIO kept out of the race, and made no effort to help Barrone, would indicate that they felt Millsop stood too well with his employees to be beaten."

Millsop: Ills $1 pay as mayor "will be tty ehardest dollar I ever earned." ton pays the highest basic wage in the industry, and gets on well with its employees, because Millsop Mill-sop has never forgotten the lessons les-sons he learned when he worked ten hours on the day shift 14 hours on the night on the open hearth. The union contract provides that any grievance can be arbitrated arbi-trated if Millsop hasn't settled it satisfactorily within 24 hours. So far there have been no cases for arbitration. Management - worker cooperation coopera-tion enabled the cpmpany to achieve a brilliant performance record during the war. It broke every existing record for open hearth production. It rolled brass to close tolerances that other steel companies said were impossible. impos-sible. It made a contribution, still secret, to the atom bomb. Mayor Millsop's first job will be to formulate a tax schedule that President Millsop of the steel company must pay. He has announced that he will accept $1 as pay for his four-year four-year term as mayor. And he intends in-tends to frame that bill. "I haven't any doubt," he says, "that it will be the hardest dollar dol-lar I ever earned."

The Doctor Says New Remedy Solves Blood Clot Problem By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, MJD, Written for NEA Service In hardening o the arteries and infections of the veins, the tend ency for the blood to clot in the diseased vessels can result in serious complications. Circulation may bo blocked or a portion of the clot will break loose, sweep into the blood stream, and lodge in a small vessel. Dr. Edgar V. Allen reports in the Journal of the American Medical Association on the use of dicumarol in these cases. It is a remedy which makes clotting of blood more difficult. When given to 1886 patients following operations, it save the lives of 73 and prevented an additional 211 from having a blood clot swept into their lungs. If blood did not clot, any injury in-jury to a vessel would be followed by a fatal hemorrhage. For many years the efiorts of physicians have been devoted to helping per sons whose blood did not clot properly. More recently, the equally important effort to keep the blood from clotting too easily as resulted in the discovery of remedies for this purpose, notably heparin and dicumarol. Before a patient is given dicu marol, a special blood test Is made to. determine the blood clotting rate. The blood must be checked from time to time to prevent It from becoming oo fluid. Clot Preventive-After Preventive-After an operation has been done and the t'.eeding vessels tied, there is no further tendency toward hemorrhage. Dicumarol as a clot preventive may be started start-ed on the second or third day or it can be given when signs of difficulty dif-ficulty in the arteries or veins develops. The patient continues to take the drug until he has tieen up and around for a week or so and is past the critical period. Science will find many uses for slow clot rei die- as clots tend to form in tlie circulation when- ever there is stagnation. Already they are being used for patients who have had stoppage of t',e arteries in the heart or legs. Question: We provide our employees em-ployees with ice water in the summer time. From past experience, experi-ence, when one becomes overheated over-heated and drinks ice water, he gets cramps. What 'ill prevent this? Answer: Best method of preventing pre-venting cramps trom overheating is to take salt and water. Primitive Man Had Housing Problems By HARM AN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. June14 (U.R) Man. four-thousand years ago and NO place to live. Man, two-thousand years ago lived in a hole in the ground. Man, today well, you know about man today. But when you hear about the long ago, maybe you won't feel so bad. Dr. Paul S. Martin, chief curator cur-ator of the Chicago Natural History His-tory museum's department .of anthropology, an-thropology, has been going into the housing problem of primitive man. And man A. D. 1947 has little lit-tle to gripe about. Exhaustive research has been carried out in southern Arizona at a place that has been dubbed SU village. Dr. Martin has been there several times and today was on his way back for another look around. He says that the Pueblo and Hohokam Indians had a tough row to hoe, indeed. When primitive man first became be-came smart enough to notice he had no roof over his head, he did something about it. But not much. He dug himself a hole in the ground, about six feet ddep and 12 feet square. Apparently the men folks all worked together and all that digging tired them out. Dr. Martin said he and his crews found evidence that several families fam-ilies lived in each of these base ment apartments. Household furnishings in the days back yonder left a lot to be desired, although they doubt- No other home convenience conve-nience will give you more help and pleasure, at such low cost.

Police, hospital and coroner's report listed list-ed the death as a suicide from an overdose of sleeping tablets. The churchman arrived here recently from his Chicago home to recover from ill health. COUNCILMEN FIGHT SHANGHAI (U.R) A proposal to ban ballroom dancing raised such angry discussion in the Shanghai city council today that two city councilmen hurled inkwells, pens and teacups at each other fori five minutes. The council dodged the issue by agreeing to prohibit the opening of new cabarets. less served the purpose. So far as Martin has been able to learn everybody sat and slept on the floor. No inner-spring mattresses. They apparently ate off the floor, too, for he finds no evidence of tables, drop-leaf or otherwise. They did, however, bake pottery pot-tery out of the clay and it probably prob-ably served all sorts of purposes. The Indians did have a jump on modern man- in one respect. They invented the deep-freeze, or rather a facsimile. In their basement apartments they dug another hole and covered cov-ered it over with huge sun-resistant rocks. Inside they stored berries, ber-ries, seeds, nuts, and products of the chase. Early man was no dummy. Studio, sponsor of the show.

Brown, Brigham Young university coordinator of servicemen, told the "master M-Men's" M-Men's" group here today that atomic energy is one of the most important question marks in the future. The group is one unit of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Improve-ment association of the LDS church that is now holding its annual an-nual convention in Salt Lake City. Brown said that man's future is largely wrapped up in the question ques-tion of whether atomic energy is used for good or for evil.
