We were not under supervision at all times." Attorneys for Howard and Howlard maintain that the men were common laborers and were working under the direction and direct supervision of qualified plumbers. Cross-examination of each of the workers centered around an attempt to show that the men were not qualified to be classed as plumbers or pipefitters.

At one point a worker who said he measured pipe on the job was asked if he could read of an inch on a rule." He a admitted that he could not. One witness for the workers, J. B. Sossoman of Johnson City, told the court that in his opinion, "The classification of worker could only be done by the type of work the man did." This is the position assumed by the State Labor Department and by attorneys for the workers involved. Attempting to state their position, through the same witness, attorneys for Howard and Howard asked: "If a man is to be classified, as to his trade by the work he does, how is his classification within the trade determined?" Sossoman said that it would be by his experience and his skill at the job he was doing.

This more or less is the position taken by the company that although the men were working at the plumber or pipefitters' trade, their lack of experience did not justify their drawing the salary of a qualified mechanic. Going further into another issue of the suit, which is whether the state or the employer should classify the workers, attorneys for Howard and Howard asked who classified a man within his trade. "A man more or less classifies himself," answered Sossoman, "by the way he does his for the workers contend that the fact the work done by these men passed the inspection of state inspectors and was accepted by the state indicated the work was that of skilled workers. Paul (Smoky) Phillips, assistant commissioner of Labor, is expected to testify today. His testi-1 mony is expected to be designed to refute earlier testimony by James Burns of Climate Control Co.

of Bristol, the primary litigant in the suit. Burns earlier charged that Phillips had refused to discuss the matter of classifying workers with him, Phillips has denied this outside the courtroom and is expected to do so from the witness stand today. Also scheduled to testify are the two state inspectors who worked the Greene Valley project. Attorneys for Howard and Howard indicated that they would take "at least a half a day" to produce witnesses in rebuttal to the evidence submitted by the attorneys for the workers today.

3) his government is prepared to agree to these compromise proposals: 1. Complete partnership in a research program for better detection of small nuclear underground blasts. The United States has stated it is willing, if there should be a treaty, to seek a change of U.S. legislation that would allow Soviet technicians to inspect the workings of all American devices used in the program. 2.

Unrestricted East West cooperation in a program to create harbors and blast away mountains with nuclear explosions. 3. Soviet-British-American studies on how to prevent illegal nuclear explosions in outer space, including blasts hidden behind the moon and the sun. Here Tsarapkin said he would give a final reply after Soviet experts complete their study of the American plan. 4.

The over annual budget of the proposed system to police a test ban should be fixed in advance by unanimity of the parties to a test ban treaty. The Western side agreed to meet Soviet insistence on this veto demand, provided money for inspections of suspicious earth tremors or air sampling flights by international teams remain free from any possible obstruction. Tsarapkin objected. He said unanimity must apply to all parts of the budget. School (Continued From Page 1, Col.

"You may be assured the Tennessee state officials will do all that is possible to bring about an improvement in the public schools of Carter County. I would call your attention, however, to the fact that the management and control of the public schools are largely vested to bring about improvements in public school system unless such improvements have the support of a relatively large segment of the citizens who comprise the local school system. Although many difficult problems face us in education, these may be resolved to a rather great extent at least by citizens who are interested and who have an understanding of the issues involved. "'We shall be glad to continue to work with the Carter County school system in matters which affect the education of the boys and girls of Carter County.

Murder (Continued From Page 1, Col. turned and fled. Howard said Dorothy Lee Cooley, wife of Cooley's son John by a previous marriage, went to the ranch later in the evening. Cooley, she said, was wearing bloodstained clothing when he came to the door. She left, called her husband in Los Angeles and later she and John Cooley drove back to the ranch.

Mrs. Cooley, the former Ella, Mae Evans, once sang in one of the bands for which Spade WON Cooley retired two years ago alter his all western band, which he started in 1955, declined in popularity. Cooley, known as "the king of western got his nickname "Spade" by drawing three consecutive poker hands of spades one a straight flush-in his younger days. His real name is Donald Clyde Cooley. One-quarter Cherokee Indian, Cooley had many rough years before he hit as a fiddler on television.

He once recalled he came to the West Coast on a fast freight. The years of television success brought wealth and he bought the large ranch on the desert, where the tragedy occurred. Cooley had been planning to turn the ranch, about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, into a desert resort. Cancer (Continued From Page 1, Col. 7) Those letters also made me realize that many of my correspondents were worried that they, too, might have cancer.

Since my operation was front page newssome called it the "slice heard around the world" -they thought knew the answers; which, of course, I didn't. But I acquired an education in the days and months after surgery; involuntary at first, it became an education I consciously pursued when I recovered. For years I'd been active in the fight against cancer. But now I wanted to know fundamental facts. What I found out is hopeful in the extreme.

I want to share this knowledge with the public, because it may help other face the ordeal of cancer people must and escape it, if they can. Many thousands of lives could be saved if more people knew the facts about cancer cure and prevention. To help spread these facts is the purpose of these articles. First, what did the hospital teach me? It exposed me to the miracle of modern medicine. Surgery, followed by radiation, saved me-as, I later learned, they now save 170,000 cancer patients a year.

Separately, or in combination, these are the only methods for curing cancer. Hormones and drugs are sometimes used to check a cancerous growth temporarily, or even to reduce the size of the tumor. They are immensely beneficial in extending life. But as yet they do not permanently destroy the malignancy which is. cancer.

My advice? Get a checkup -get one every year even if you have nothing wrong, and if you suspect cancer if you have one of its seven warning signals for more than two weeks see your doctor without delay. It may not be cancer at all. But if it is, the sooner it's treated, the better your chance for full recovery. Keep away from quacks, fake remedies and home remedies. Only surgery or radiation can cure you.

Second, what did my reading and interviews teach me? As of April 1, 1961, there were over million people in the United States cured of cancer-men, women, children. That's another thing I learned. Cancer can strike at any age. It often hits hardest at the young and defenseless. More children die of cancer than of any other disease; in half the cases they die of a cancer called leukemia.

The third thing I learned was that this most dreaded type of cancer is from a research point cancer is, from a research point of view, the most hopeful. A number of scientists believe that the big breakthrough in cancer control may come in leukemia. Some believe that this cancer is virus caused. Viruses have been used to produce leukemia in mice, and also to. make mice immune to leukemia.

Will we ever be able to vaccinate our children against leukemia, as we now do against polio? The experts are hopeful--but I guarded. They say: If drugs and vaccines are found which can cure or prevent any cancers, they will succeed first in leukemia, and lymphomas, The latter include Hodgkins disease, lymphosarcoma and all cancers of the lymphatic system. Patients with Lymphomas often lead normal lives for years. "The first great breakthrough in determining the cause of cancer will probably come from the research in leukemia. That's what Dr.

Wendell G. Scott, expert in clinical, radiology and an American cancer society director. says. His view is shared by number of. top men in the scientific community.

virus research in cancer for close to half a century. He says: "The virus problem and the cancer problem are one. His, hypothesis that viruses cause most, if not all cancers, is gaining support. An increasing number of scientists now believe that it will eventually be possible to produce vaccines to mobilize the body's defenses against cancer. When? Maybe in 1 year, in 10 years, in 25, Nobody knows the date.

But everybody knows that money for research can help advance the date. It cost. millions to develop the drugs and treatments are now adding precious months and years of life to children who otherwise would die swiftly from leukemia. The search for drugs goes on -to treat leukemia and the many other types of cancerfor cancer is not one disease, but actually an ugly family of related diseases. New compounds for treating the various types of cancer are being tested at the rate of 40,000 a year, The American Cancer Society currently devotes to leukemia-related research alone, almost $2 Is it worth it? Ask any father, or mother whose child is stricken with leukemia.

John Neece has asked that the county assume this annual obligation, so that the school board may use this amount as collateral to borrow $150,000 to be used to repair schools.

The committee agreed to that plan. Two other requests were referred to County Court which meets April 17. One asked for for the county agent's office per year and $475 for the Soil Conservation District. The second request was for two additional deputies for the Sheriff's Department and an increase in mileage allotments for deputies. This would cost about $11,000 per year.

Three Report Plane Crash CHATTANOOGA (M Three persons late Tuesday told police they saw light plane strike tree tops and go down in wooded area a few miles east of here near the Georgia state line. However, officials at the airport here said private plane circled the area about 45 minutes and could find no sign of wreckage. The air search was discontinued because of darkness. The Hamilton County sheriff's office and the Red Cross last night organized a search party to enter the area on foot and two ambulances were standing by near the scene. Airport authorities said no plane has been reported missing in this area.

Bristol Hospital Awaits Expansion BRISTOL The directors of Bristol Memorial Hospital had a pleasant surprise yesterday when bids on equipment for a new addition totaled some $39,000 less than had been expected. The directors will reconvene today to open construction bids for the project, which will add nearly 90 beds to the hospital, increase the number of surgery and delivery rooms, build a new kitchen and laundry, and otherwise expand the overcrowded facilities.

PIERCE HARRIS Area Will Again Hear Dr. Harris What about Dr. Pierce Harris, noon speaker for the Preaching Mission last year? Many have been asking whether he will be back for this year's services, April 16-23.

The answer is he will -but as an evening speaker this time. Dr. Harris will be on noon duty in Bristol, but will come to Johnson City Friday night, April 21, to share the platform with Dr. James D. Murch, managing editor of Christianity Today, Washington, D.

C. "When Johnson City called for me, I just couldn't say no," Dr. Harris said. The popular pastor of Atlanta's First Methodist Church has a national speaking schedule each year. It is widely believed he addresses more church assemblies than any other pastor in America.

He been fn the Atlanta pastorate 21 years, and for the past 17 years his church has not failed to enroll at least one new member each Sunday. More than 5,000 have been added over the 21 years. The ability of. Dr. Harris to enliven his messages with humor.

while never failing to make the serious point, places him high among public speakers of the nation. In his younger days he was a professional baseball player in the Georgia -Alabama, Cotton States, Southern and American leagues. He takes pride in his golf game, and has more than 80 trophies to show for it. Of the Preaching Mission, he says, "I've never seen anything quite like it in scope or appeal. It is inspiring to find four cities working so closely together for a great spiritual objective."
