Ogilvie reported. 7 Henry Shearer, dean of Detroit and Michigan railroad men, died Sunday at Fort Meyers, at the age of 79. He retired 10 years ago aa vice president and general manager of the Michigan Central Division of the New York Central Railroad. DURING 45 YEARS' service with Michigan Central, the tall, slender executive he stood six feet four became a nationally recognized expert in transportation matters.

Through his efforts, transportation facilities in Detroit kept pace with expanding demands of the automobile industry. Born in Galien, March 1, 1868, Italian Riots End as Reds Call Meeting ROME (U.R) Italy's Commu nists appeared to have turned from bloody street fighting in their continuing battle against the Government to demands that the reins of Italian industry be turned over to the workers. After two days in which there had been no new reports of violence in the campaign of political riots which began Nov. 4, 7,000 del egates of the semiofficial workers' management committees assembled in the leftist stronghold of Milan. THEY demanded: Control of production and credit by the workers' management committees extra-legal organizations created just after Italy's liberation by extreme left-wing parties and the Communist-controlled partisans.

2 The power to confiscate and nationalize industries which threaten lockouts or unjustifiable firing of workers. 3 The transformation and coordination of the Institute for Industrial Reconstruction, Italian industry's most important financing agency roughly equiv alent to the United States Reconstruction Finance Corporation. 4 Official status for the workers committees and legislation to force every industry to create such organizations. All the evidence indicated that the Communist Party had abandoned the street-fighting campaign in which 20 persons were killed and hundreds of anti-Com munist political party officers i looted. Some sources said that the political violence had ended because it was clear that it would neither frighten the Government into re signing nor stampede it into a massacre of workers which could be turned to propaganda use.

(JP) A North Philadelphia butcher guarantees to sell top-grade meat, poultry and eggs "at wholesale prices only" and still stay in business. George Rookstool, 32, la going to operate his shop on a "service fee" basis. THE BUTCHER said he would sign up 300 customers, sell them meat at wholesale "that includes the best steaks at 50 cents a pound," and charge a blanket fee of $1.25 weekly a family.

If he gets 500 patrons, Rookstool said, the weekly fee will be cut to 75 cents. Rookstool said the average butcher's markup is 35 per cent, thus his plan "assures a saving of 25 per cent monthly for each customer. "The fees will pay my weekly costs of $225 and give me a reasonable salary," he said. By Sunday, 185 customers had signed up.

Light Voting Marks China's First Election NANKING (JP) Pro-Government sources declared that Chinese men and women one tenth of tfiose eligible voted in China's first national election but neutral observers doubted whether the total reached 10,000,000.

Votes were cast for 3,044 national assemblymen who on Dec. 25 will elect China's first constitutional president. THE VOTING largely was decided in advance with an arrangement by which the dominant Kuomintang, Chiang Kai Shek's party, promised to give a few assembly seats to the only parties in the field against it the minority Young China and Democratic Socialist parties. Inept handling characterized the operation of most voting places. Chinese generally are unfamiliar with voting procedure.

Observers reported numerous violations of the election laws.
