STEEL STRIKERS CLOSE TO VICTORY Strikebreakers’ Food Nearly Gone—Picket Is Wounded. Davey “Hopeful.” Ev the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 3.— Jubilant strike pickets at the crippled steel mills of the Mahoning Valley saw their "strike or starve” ultimatum ap proaching reality in the Niles plant of Republic Steel Corp. today as they strengthened their lines at Warren after the shooting of a picket. Frank Flynn, general manager of the Warren plant, said the food sup ply at the Warren plant would last for three or four days, but that if planes were unable to make deliveries at Niles "it would run pretty close there” after today. Low-hanging clouds and rain kept the planes away from the plants today. The planes have been mak ing deliveries at the Warren and Niles plants—two of five Republic plants still operating—since a few days after the strike started. Picket Shot After Parley. The planes land inside the plant inclosure at Warren and drop food to the workers, placed at 300 or 400 by Republic, in the Niles plant. Flynn said that if planes are un able to drop supplies at Niles today, ''some one will have to take food in.” Pickets have refused entrance to trucks at the Niles plant, but reports were current today that attempts to truck food supplies into the plant might be made late today. Flynn said the strip and tin mills at Niles were running full blast, with the sheet mill closed. The plant nor mally employs 1,000 men. The picket was shot at Warren only e few hours after Gov. Martin L. Davey had conferred with company officials in an attempt to bring peace to a strike front which extends into seven States and has made approxi mately 73,000 workers Idle. His injuries were not serious. Held Shot by Guards. Strike leaders said the man, Steve John. 65, was shot by company guards as strikers attempted to keep six non striking workers from running the blockade into the plant..

By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 3.—The poor man's parson who married Edward of Wind sor and Wallis Warfield, despite the frowns of Anglican bishops, apparently escaped disciplinary action today from the Church of England. No ecclesiastical measure will be taken against Rev. R. Anderson Jar dine. it was indicated by the Bishop of Fulham. The bishop governs Anglican church affairs in France, where the middle aged vicar, volunteering to give his former King a religious marriage blessing, performed the Church of England ceremony—on his own au thority, A tempest within the church, how' ever, provoked the question: ■‘Will he go to work for Windsor now?” Workaday England itself was di vided into those who wanted to for give and those who merely wanted to forget last December's abdication, and the "affair Simpson.” Many churchmen throughout the land were horrified because the vicar had defied his superiors. But in other quarters the eleventh hour disclosure that “the poor man's parson” would conduct the religious ceremony today at Chateau de Cande, in France, caused lively satisfaction. Man in Street Pleased. The man in the street was deeply stirred to hear that the democratic former monarch would, after all. be married within the church of which he once was titular head, despite his post-abdication "isolation” by both the Church of England and the British government. The services of the Rev. Mr. Jardine were volunteered "for conscience sake.” The Bishop of Fulham awaited a reply to a telegram of protest. The bishop informed the Darlington vicar that he was “officiating on behalf of the Anglican Church in France with out any right or permission to do so.” The bishop explained his protest thus: "Mr. Jardine has no ecclesi astical standing in France. Clergy who officiate on behalf of the Anglican Church in France must either hold a license to do so or have permission to do so. "Otherwise they are acting as private individuals and have not the authority of the church. Mr. Jardine has no authority in this matter to act on be half of the Anglican Church. "I shall not take any disciplinary action and I don’t think any will be taken,” the bishop said, after a con ference with the Archbishop of Canter bury. "Let me make it clear, more over, that my telegram is one of protest only. There is no legal point involved.” Mr. Jardine’s parishioners gazed curiously at his shuttered stone vicar age. Some recalled that their pastor recently had talked of leaving the parish for another appointment and wondered if this latest development meant he might become the Duke of Windsor’s private chaplain. Press Hits Narrow Minority. The London News Chronicle bit terly attacked what it styled a “nar row minority” in the church, which failed to recognize Windsor's claim to a church ceremony. The paper said it would provoke only sympathy for the duke “and anything but sympathy with leaders of organized religion in this country.” The Express pleaded for “Christian charity” for Windsor and his bride, adding, “They have already endured much and perhaps their anxieties are not at an end.” Other newspapers gave the wedding news a big display, but steered clear of the controversy revolving about the vicar. The exact attitude of the Church of England on remarriage of divorcees is obscure. It is the subject of con stant argument among the bishops themselves. But there is general ob jection to the principle. The middle-aged vicar twice before has aroused the anger of high church men. Once the Bishop of Durham accused him of “a grave breach of propriety" for preaching in a Wes leyan chapel near his own church. Once he was criticized for writing to parishioners and advocating a "trade union of clergy” to permit clergymen to discuss problems "un trammeled and unhindered by red tape and so-called ecclesiastical tradi tions.” Rev. Mr. Jardine acquired the title, “the Pood Man's Parson,” for his work in the Liverpool slums. “He's an intrepid sort of fellow," a friend commented. -• Partridges Floating at Sea.
