N.Y. Police Search for Poison
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Police conducted a house-to-house search today for two cans of deadly cyanide poison feared to have been picked up by children on a beach.
Six cans, each containing 12 discs of cyanide used to fumigate ships, were missing from a crate washed ashore at the South Beach section of Staten Island yesterday. Police said they had recovered four of the cans this morning.
They warned the discs could kill if tasted or if their fumes were inhaled.
A passerby found a wooden crate which originally held 48 cans of the
poison on the beach last night. He said the box had been opened and six cans were missing.
Police searched the beach until dark last night and resumed the search this morning. Meanwhile, other officers visited houses, Radio and television stations broadcast warnings to residents.
Police said the crate may have fallen from a ship or from a chemical plant pier and washed ashore.

Striking Municipal Workers Win Major Victory in Court
ST. LOUIS, Mo—(UPI)St. Louis citizens began their third day without any one to look after the little civic necessities of life.
Striking municipal workers won a major victory in circuit court yesterday when Judge William H. Killoren denied the city's plea for a court order to end the strike.
City attorneys said the walkout, which began Wednesday morning, endangered public health and welfare.
Killoren, however, did issue a restraining order prohibiting the strikers from picketing.
Meanwhile, rubbish gathered near a mezzanine ramp in Kiel Auditorium and auditorium manager Louis J. Gauldoni said the trash posed a serious fire hazard for the 8,000 persons at a convention there.
If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
