Jeffers president of the Union Pacific Railroad company, effective Feb.

1 and the election of George F. Ashby to succeed him was announced following meeting of directors here today. Jeffers, who will be 70 years old Jan. 2, has been president of the Union Pacific system since Oct. 1, 1937.

He WAS the nation's rubber director in the early days of the war. An announcement of F. W. Charske. chairman of the executive committee, said the directors acceded Jeffers' request for retirement "only because of his insistence and his assurance that he would continue as a member of the board of directors and remain active in the company's affairs, lending the benent of his valuable judgment derived from his railroad experience of almost 56 years, all in Union Pacific service." Ashby, 60-year-old native of Mt.

Airy, N. has been associated with Union Pacific since and WAS named executive vice president on Dec. 1, 1944. Low Schneider Trade Winds tos, STEEL STRIKE The trade winds say that President Truman depends more upon Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace than any other member of his official family. In fact, Henry Wallace is A more "active assistant President" today than he was when vice president along with President Rosevelt.

It's open knowledge in business and financial circles that Henry Wallace is the President's one and only advisor on China. He did field work in China and Russia, back in1944, for the late FDR. And Hank Wallace is definitely the President's labor advisor. Moreover, the Department of Commerce is the live business statistics source for the White House. And Henry Wallace will loan Census Director Philip Hauser for the President's new braintrust.

And 'for services rendered' the Department of Commerce 1946-47 fiscal year appropriation will double that of this year. BETTER LIVING Apropos of labor publicity that higher wages increase worker's standard of living, don't you believe it. Increased production is the only means of increasing the standard of living. What good enlarged takehome pay whey there's scarcity of wearing apparel, homes, butter, au- Opinion to the contrary standing, the impending steel strike is The CIO-USW 1,207 contracts covering 1,003 concerns expire next October 16. But each has a clause saying the contract can be reopened on a wage-increase demand and a strike is legal if company refuses.

It's no secret that steel companies refuse the Steel Worker's demands for a $2 per day wage increase. Result: Some 700,000 workers in about 800 steel plants will go out on strike next Jan. 14-even if only to save face for USW prexy Philip Murray. Gambling Here's the latest tip being spread by commodities dope-sheet writers on why late 1946 cotton futures point higher: Supplies of the better staple will be tight in 1947 because labor in the Coton Belt will be less plentiful in the planting season than is being anticipated. And, believe it or not, it's on such wishful thinking that people gamble.

The Are burned 150 feet of telephone cable carrying 266 wires.

All telephone lines from Poughkeepsie to Highland, Milton, Clintondale and New Paltz were paralyzed until repairs were made last night. Fireman Clarence Martin, of Highland, was attended by Dr. Peter Lordi for first degree burns of the neck, which he suffered at the Are. Fireman Perkins was attended by Dr. Lordi for frozen hands.

Other fremen, whose names were not available, suffered frost bites and frozen fingers, Chief Maynard said. The fire started in the 5 and 10 cent store in Main street, operated by David Sperling, according to Chief Maynard, who said this morning the cause of the Are had not been determined. The fire spread through the store and communicated to the grocery store operated by Albert DeLucca, the electrical shop of Howard Thompson and to the dress manufacturing factory operated by Samuel Crimi, the chief said. Flames spread to the tailor shop of Herbert Gowitzer and to apartments above the families were made homeless. Families occupying the dwellings were the DeLucca family, Mr.

and Mrs. Anthony Stellavato, Mrs. Patsy Esposito and daughter, Vera; Mrs. Chiodo, her daughter, Frances, and granddaughter, Loretta, and Mr. and Mrs.

Peter Sutera, who have three children. It also was reported that Gowitzer occupied rooms near his tailor shop. Chief Maynard summoned aid from nearby communities including Esopus, Clintondale, New Paltz and Milton. Engine 6 and Fire Chief Merrick from Poughkeepsie went to the scene. Creek Water Used Several lines of hose were connected to hydrants in the area and water was pumped from the creek at the rear of the buildings that were destroyed.

State Police from the Highland outpost were at the scene and directed traffic. The Are was brought under control after four hours, and some firemen remained at the scene throught the night. Albert DeLucca, proprietor of grocery store destroyed by the flames, was ill at home at the time of the fire. He was assisted to the home of relatives nearby. Other occupants of the burned apartments were cared for by friends during the night.

Harry F. Edinger, of Kingston, district engineer of the State Health department, said that outside pumpers from, neighboring fire companies and the Highland pumper had pumped. from the water system during the fire.

That, he said, reduced the pressure in the mains, permitting some, water to. back into the mains from plumbing fixtures in the homes. "It was quite possible that water backed up in the mains from the homes and there is a possibility that water backed up in cross connections in the plumbing," Mr. Edinger said today. "As a precaution to guard the health of residents of Highland in those areas above the fire area, this office issued a boiled water order, which will be in effect the next two or.

three days. Dr. Meekins, the local health officer, broadcast from WKIP station at Poughkeepsie, cautioning all residents of Highland to boil water for the next two or three days," Mr. Edinger said. Phone Service Out The fire burned 150 feet of telephone cable carrying 266 wires and cutting local lines, 40 toll circuits and affecting 330 stations in the Highland, Milton and Poughkeepsle area, Phillips V.

Dean, manager of the New York telephone company, said. Mr. Dean said that there were no circuits operating from Poughkeepsite to Highland, New Paltz, Clintondale or Milton, and phones in those areas out of service until repairs were made. Mr. Dean said that at 2 p.

33 workmen including splicing crews, linemen' and 'maintenance men were at the scene and At 7 p. m. all special emergency cirworking to make repairs to the 1 lines. cuits had been restored and at 7:30 p. m.

the 150 feet of cable destroyed by the Are had been replaced. At 11 o'clock last night, Mr. Dean said, all lines had been restored with the exception of four from Poughkeepsie to Highland and four from this to Milton. Mr. Dean said that workmen were at the scene throughout the night and this morning other workmen replaced those crews.

He anticipated normal service in the Poisoned Bullets Fired into Prisoners Elite guard (88) surgeons fired poisoned bullets into concentration camp prisoners and carefully recorded the symptoms accompanying slow death for the victims, according to German documents disclosed today at the war crimes trial of a score of Hitler's highest leaders. Details of the notorious activities of the black-shirted Elite guard were unfolded before the International Military Tribunal by American prosecutors to support their charges that the S5 and five other once-powerful Nazi organizations should be convicted as criminal groups. The poisoned bullet experiments resulted in the deaths of three out of five prisoners selected, 88 records disclosed. The prosecution also recounted the experiments, previously reported at the Dachau war crimes trial, in which women prisoners were used to rewarm frozen men with the heat of their naked bodies. The scientists eventually reported that the experiments, conducted for the air force and navy, disclosed that the practice of rewarming with women's bodies WAS inferior to "rapid rewarming" by artificial means.

General MacArthur, Russians Disagree, Correspondent Reports SAN FRANCISCO (AP) American' Broadcasting company Correspondent Larry Tighe reported today from Tokyo that General MacArthur and the Russians had disagreed over which of the Japanese home islands Soviet forces would occupy, and that as a result Russians will not participate in the occupation at all. Furthermore, Tighe said, MacArthur reportedly told the U.S.

State department yesterday that if he were not let alone, and if Russia were allowed any further participation in occupation alfairs, he would resign. "First the Russians wanted to bring an army over here," the correspondent asserted. "MacArthur said no. He would permit them to bring one division. but they insisted that they be allowed to occupy Hokkaido, northernmost of the main islands.

MacArthur again said no, with the implication that if the Russians ever got into Hokkaido they'd never be dislodged. "MacArthur offered instead to let the Russians into southernmost Kyushu, which would, put American troops between the (Russian) homeland and the occupying force. Then the Russians said no. MacArthur's answer to that amounted to 'all right, don't send an occupation force; we don't need night. land, local health officer, last night area would be restored today.
