I Two Philadelphia Drivers Attacked City Still Stricken By Transport Tieup Philadelphia, Feb. 16 —(UP) — Two motorists, who gave rides to stranded pedestrians, were attacked by roving groups of men today in this transit-stricken city. The incidents were the first reported since 11,000 transit workers left their jobs last Friday and were joined -yesterday by 3,500 taxi drivers. Claire Reed. 33, was struck on the head by a brick thrown through an open window of his automobile by one of seven men who pulled up alongside in another car. Reed, already Mind in one eye, may lose die sight of the other, physicians at Wills eye hospital said. He had just given two sailors a ride to the navy yard when he was attacked. (Emanuel Taylor, 33, a Pennsylvania railroad employe, reported that four men in an auto forced his car to a curb in a side street and pushed him out. Taylor, who has been taking workers to their jobs during the strike, was not injured but the men broke all the windows in his car and ripped off a door. Meantime, the crowd-weary or foot-sore residents struggled through the sixth day of the transportation tie-up. Deadlocked negotiations between the Philadelphia Transportation Co. and the CIO transport workers union meant meeting train schedules. Hitch hiking, or coining into work by auto-truck pool arrangements. For those having cars, there was the inevitable central-city traffic jam. The 3,000,000 daily commuters in the metropolitan area have been without trolley, bus and subwayelevated service since last Thursday midnight. The 11.000 PTC operating and maintenance employes walked out in support of contract demands that included a 20-cent hourly wage boost. Last Monday night they shaved the wage request to 17 cents. The company offers a threecent boost and “money concessions" involving working conditions. Safety First Cited For Traffic Offense • ■Santa Monica.

- — — 6.0. P. Cool To Wage And Price Control Plans I Inflation Control Plans Are Received By Cool Reception Washington, Feb. 16. —(UP) — Republicans and some Democrats were cool today to the modified wage-price controls proposed In President Truman's new anti-infla-tion legislation. Rep. Jesse P.‘Wolcott, R., Mich., ranking GOP member of the house banking committee, said congress should sit on the administration plan for 60 days “until we see where the country is heading.” Sen. John J. Sparkman, D.. Ala., a member cf the senate banking committee, said he believes “it would be very hard to sell a program of inflation controls to the country at this time.” The administration recommendations were sent to Capitol Hill late yesterday by agriculture secretary Charles F. Brannan, coordinator ot the President's anti-inflation campaign. The legislation would authorize the government to clamp ceilings on prices which threaten to go above last December’s level. It also proposed creation of a sixman board to regulate wage increases. In addition, the administration asked for broad powers to relieve or prevent shortages ot critical materials. It sought authority to' make long-term, low-interest loans to private industry to boost production capacity, and, as a "last resort," to build and operate plants of its own. The legislation was introduced in the house by chairman Brent Spence, D.; Ky„ of the banking committee. Shortly before, one of the President's economic advisers. John D. Clark, had warned that in- ' flation still is a threat and “the | risk in delaying action is too great." i Chairman Joseph C. O'Mahoney. I D., Wyo.. of the joint congressional I economic committee said “the President wants to act in such a manner as to stimulate production, bring lower prices and to stabilize by ordinary and normal forces. 1 The question is shall we drift or shall we act." The Wyoming senator said Clark gave *V4ry persuasive arguments" that the recent price dips are only temporary. However. San. Ralph E. Flanders, R.. Vt„ a member of O’Mahoney's committee, said that if the, price declines are only temporary, “this program will not be helpful." In his opinion, he said, neither wage nor price control is necessary now. Burns Are Fatal To Indianapolis Man Indianrnolis. Feb. 16 — (UP) — Everett G. Field, 34, died yesterday of burns suffered last Friday when a welding machine exploded In an industrial plant.
