TWO: A succeeding fire ball a third of a mile in diameter and hotter than a blast furnace. THREE: A mushrooming multicolored cloud of intensely radioactive particles boiling upward to 60,000 feet or higher in a space of six minutes or less. The initial upward velocity of the cloud will be 10,000 feet a second. Driving upward from the burst will be winds of velocity estimated at 800 to 1000 miles an hour. Must Protect Eyes The Mt.

do not’ give the President the powers he has asked to avert such national catastrophies as the railroad strike and the six-weeks mine strike. One course being discussed among the coalition that ran the senate last week, and which this morning seemed to have the best chance of adoption, would be to combine the Case bill and a modified version of the Truman-requested bill in one enactment —thus diminishing chance of a vefo, Senator Barkley saw this plan coming Saturday and made plans to block it. But if the Ball-Taft combination takes the driver's seat again it would be expected to have enough votes to go in any direction it wishes. Study Lucas Plan
Another possibility is substitution

Two persons were injured critically. «+ At Tibbs ave. and Morris st, a car driven by Henry C. Crawford, 22-year-old veteran of 630 Birch ave, skidded into the rear of an Indianapolis Railways bus, then caromed into another car yesterday afternoon, Mr, Crawford was taken to Veterans hospital with a severe back injury. Mrs. Catherine Wilson, 23, of 1406 8. Harding st., who police said was one of four passengers in Mr. Crawford's car, remained in City hospital with injuries received in the crash. But five other crash victims were released from City hospital following treatment there. Head-on Collision Mrs. Amy E. Pearson of Kokomo and Miss Lillian Good of Cicero are in Long hospital with critical injuries received in the head-on collision on U. 8. 31, near Westfield, Mrs. Pearson was a passenger in a northbound car driven by her husband, Wilmer E. Pearson. Miss Good was among seven passengers riding with Harold Moran, 22, of Westfield. Others hurt were Mr. Pearson, Norma Jean Pearson, 19; Nancy Irene Pearson, 13, and Pvt. Roger W.

Most roads reported normal or near-normal service. The Pennsylvania reported that normal freight and passenger schedules were reported at 7 a. m. Sunday, 14 hours after the strike ended. Pennsylvania officials said priority had been given to the movement of coal. They said all loaded coal cars which had stood idle on mine sidings during the rail strike were en route to destinations. The road also was speeding empties to the mines for newly dug

The President's supporters say, however, that he has made a ten strike with public opinion through his aggressive assertion of authority to end the railroad stoppage—has gained more friends than he lost.

rail yards, at switching points and in warehouses. Railroad officials said . the food would be moved wherever possible to cities and localities which had felt the pinch of short rations. In the great metropolitan centers suburban traffic was restored to normal today and commuters cut off from their jobs went back to work as the greatest traffic jam in history was unsnarled. In addition to the Pennsylvania, most other roads reported normal service, although there were minor hitches on some lines. The New York Central reported normal passenger traffic and said it was “doing very well” with movement of freight.
Pledges Fight on Truman
The government returned the roads to private ownership and the office of defense transportation lifted its embargo on unessential freight and express shipments, The strike was over, but the re-| percussions lingered. Industry had suffered a devastating setback in its attempt to hit a reconversion stride.» And although the trains were running, the issues of the {strike remained unsettled, at least |from the viewpoint of the strikers. President A, F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen charged President Truman with an attempt to “crush labor” and predicted that he would be repudiated atthe next Democratic nominating convention. Mr. Whitney said his union now has $47,500,000 in its treasury, and intended to set up a political campaign fund of $2,500,000 for the fight to defeat President Truman and anti-labor congressmen. * He also pointed out the union had 220,000 voting members to help do the job.

He was asked if he would work with President John L. Lewis of the A. F. of L.

Convening at the Antlers hotel, the board’s 18 ‘members, represent|ing 30,000 workers, will duscuss the | problem of increasing hosiery yarn production. An analysis of the black market is on the agenda. Union officers fear the black market may so discredit the industry that American women will go stockingless voluntarily. The board also will consider the workers’ role in the C.I.0O.-Political Action committee campaign against
