Ha Workers Return, Lift Mail Embargo Strike Ends aot Most Points After. Truman Rebuke CHICAGO, Dec. 16 (UP)— A majority of railroad strikers returned to work today, stalled trains began rolling
and the post office lifted the
indil embargo at the peak of the Christmas’ rush. Faced with a stern rebuke by President Truman and the possibility of heavy fines against their union, members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen called off their three-day wildcat strike at most key rail centers, includ-
ing Chicago, Washington, - St. Louis and Boston. But in the south, the strike
spread to Nashville, Tenn., where; it tied up a big freight terminal,’ and continued unabated at Birmingham, Ala, and Knoxville, Tenn., where it halted shipment of raw materials to the Oak,
Ridge atomic plant. { Lifts Embargo
At Washington, Postmaster General Jesse M. Donaldson lifted the mail embargo imposed Thursday night in 15 northeastern and midwestern states. Mr. Donaldson said enough switchmen had ended their “sick leave” strike to insure the movement of mail, and ordered postmasters to begin accepting it at once. Mr. Donaldson said the huge mountains of Christmas mail al-| ready-piled dp at rail stations will haye been moved by nightfall » By ending the walkout at most “points, it was believed that the’ strikers sidestepped heavy fines for their embattled union. Government “attorneys last night asked the federal court here to! cite the union for contempt, and! a hearing was set for Monday. | Railroad - spokesmen attributed the back-to-work movement which began this morning to| President Truman's rebuke last] night in his state of emergency! address. The president said th strike was illegal and a “danger| to the security of the nation.” | With the back-to-work movement came a stepped-up drive by federal mediators at Washington to settle the 21-month wage-hour dispute which caused the strike. Trainmen, along with conduectors, engineers and firemen, want the 48-hour week shortened to 40 hours with no pay. cut, plus wage increases.
Postal Shipments Here Are Moving
Postal and Rallway Express shipments began to move here last’ night with the lifting of rail strike-imposed embargoes. The Railway ¥Fixpress embargo was dropped at 6 p. m. yesterday on all but perishable and lvestock shipments. The two categories will be subject to delay for the next two days, officials said, until the storage car situation is ironed out in the nation’s big yards. "All restriétions on mail were removed at noon yesterday in the Indianapolis Post Office. The post office will be open today to help speed Christmas mailings. Letters and packages will be accepted.

will be chosen, he said Men whose induction ‘has been postponed for educational reasons probably will not be called until the end of the school year in June, Gen, Hitchock indicated. The number of draft boards in Indiana’s 92 counties will be increased to 100 by the end of this week, the general said. At the start of the Korean crisis the state had 89 hoards. Eleven boards served two counties. After this week, every county will have at least one board. The President's proclamation

Vow Support
For Government (Continued From Page One) Strickland Motors, Lincoln-Mer-cury distributor, endorsed the price rollback despite the fact that higher prices went on his products 10 days ago. Price hikes
‘of approximately $100 went on
all 1951 models. “I think it probably will be a good thing and won’t hurt busi|ness at all,” he said. “No one likes to see prices go up and certainly no one wants inflation.” E. J. Voelker, president of Su;perior Motors, Chevrolet dealers, also said he believed the dealer organizations would approve of the government move. “If Washington really means what they say,” he declared, “dealers will be glad to:go along iwith the plan.! { He pointed out that prices for
el ithree 1951 models, now selling for
$1875, $1980 and $1585 would go back to the Dec. 1 prices of $1825, {$1925 and $1525, respectively. Doubts Any Harm John Ramp, of John Ramp, Inc, Chrysler-Plymouth dealers, pointed out that Chrysler 1951 models, including Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth would not be out until late in January. He said, however, that a proposed price increase ranging from $100 to $140 on 1951 models would not be possible with prices frozen at the Dec. 1 levels. “I think that will be all right,” he said. “I hate to see prices go up. I don’t think the price rollback will hurt business one way or the. other.” B. T. Gates Sr., of Gates Motor Co., DeSoto-Plymouth dealer, said he believed the noninflation movement sound. and agreed with others that the rollback to "Dec. 1 levels would not injure business. Quité a few other dealers were contacted but declined to be quoted until they received official notification from their nufacturers.” Nearly all of them, however, pledged support to the government ant inflation movement. s »

Economic Stabilization Agency, in which the company said it believed price and wage controls could be achieved, “at least for the time being, by voluntary agreement between the members| of an industry and the office of the ESA.” GM said the government price rollback “is patently decriminatory against General Motors and other producers and does not at-
, tack at the source of the basic
problem of inflation.” Gives its Pledge
"The GM statement mentioned)
price increases in commodities used to build cars and pledged its willingness to “do everything possible to assist in the mobilization in the defense of our country in the present emergency just as it did in the last war.” However, GM said, “the ill-con-sidered action of rolling back automobile prices to . 1 is discriminatory and: ‘be of no assistance in ad the spiraling forces of inflation.” Ernest R.

[National Guard.
The Indiana National Guard has had no combat training or maneuvers since World War II, Gen. Hitchcock declared.
He said, however, that “the
|Indiana Guard is in as good con-
dition as any in the United
States.”
One unit of the Indiana National Guard already has gone into service. An Indianapolis
ambulance company of two offi-
cers and 70 men went to Camp Campbell, Ky., in September. The Air National Guard is
practically at full strength, Gen. Hitchcock reported. A few vacancies exist, he added, but “anyone who wants to. get in had better do it in the next week or 10 days.” “After that it may be too late,” he explained. Indianapolis Naval Reserve has sent 600 men and 30 to 40 officers to active duty since the Korean War started. These came from a complement of 1400 men and 115 officers! enrolled last June. They have been called a few at a time,| and have been replaced by new enlistments.
