Reds Have Strong
Hold in Hawaii,
Says Rep. Pillion
WASHINGTON, LP)—A state
ment that Communist has found
“general acceptance” in Hawaii
concluded a month-long series of
hearings Wednesday by the House
Rules Committee on the Hawaii
Alaska statehood bills.
The statement was made by
Rep. Pillion (R-NY) in a second
appearance before the committee
to urge it to block House action
on the bill.
Pillion presented newspaper
clippings, pamphlets and other
documents to support his previ
ous assertions that the Interna
tional Longshoremen’s and Ware
housemen’s Union (ILWAU) in
Hawaii is Communist dominated
and that it has gained sufficient
political strength to influence
elections.
“I know of no area in the Uni
ted States where Communism has
so extensively and successfully
infiltrated as ,in Hawaii,” Pillion
said.
Chairman Smith (D-Va) said
the Rules Committee will “take a
vote on the statehood bill possi
bly next week.
Ex-Policeman Jailed
For Masterminding
Juveniles in Robbery
PASADENA, Calif., (£>—A for
mer Oxnard, Calif., and Anchor
age, Alaska, policeman was sen
tenced to prison Wednesday for
masterminding three juveniles in
the robbery of a used car dealer
last Feb. 9.
Superior Judge Kenneth C.
Newell sentenced Paul S. Rhines,
26, who pleaded guilty of first
degree robbery, to a term of five
years to life in the Chino State

Rhines helped disguise the ju
veniles with burnt cork and false
faces and instructed them to rob
used car dealer Robert Cass of
$1,250 which Rhines had just paid
him for an auto, police said.
The youngsters took $550 and
a wrist watch at gunpoint, police
said, picked up two juvenile girls
and another boy and set off on a
crime spree.
They were arrested a week
later in Bakersfield, Calif., after
stealing three cars, robbing a wo
man and kidnapping a man, sher
i iff’s deputies reported.
You should always be kind to
dumb animals—particularly those
who belong to the human species.
Strikes Continue,
North and South;
Governors to Meet
(By the Associated Press!
For the second day, violence
and injuries were reported yes-'
terday at the strike-bound Sperry
Gyroscope plant plant at Lake
Success, N.Y.
And there appeared little prog
ress toward immediate settlement
of any of the nation’s major
strikes.
CIO electrical workers resumed
mass picketing at the Sperry
plant and two men were reported
injured. Several autos were dam
aged as non-striking workers
tried to enter the plant.
A proposal by southern govern
ors to immediately end the 39
day Louisville & Nashville Rail
road strike was rejected by non
operating unions. A union official
i said the walkout would continue
until any arbitration is completed.
Meanwhile, a group of southern
governors planned to meet in At
lanta Saturday with representa
tives of the Sou’hern Bell Tele
phone Co. and the striking CIO
j Communication Workers of Am
erica in an attempt to end the
39-day telephone strike. The
union demands arbitration on
fringe points and higher wages.
The company says that a no
strike clause is the bar to a new
contract.
Governors of six southern
states and representatives of six
others had met in Nashville earl
ier this week to discuss the L & N
and telephone walkouts. Both
strikes, marked by violence, have
cut deeply into the economy over
wide areas of the South and the
Southeast. Unemployment has
mounted in many areas because
of the rail strike which has forced
the shutdown of some related
industries.
No headway was reported in
efforts to settle the CIO Textile
Workers Union strike against 24
mills in four New England states.
The strike started last Saturday
in a dispute over wages.
