Rescue workers removed the crushed body of John Wood, age 33, a company employe, just before naon. Wood was trapped by fallen girders and a partition of the roof five feet inside the entrance ofjhe building. It took 45 minutes for sTrescue crew to cut the girders and free the body after the debris piled on topwas removed. Elbert Cross, age 34, Rushville, was missing and presumed buried under tons of brick and metal. Three Escape One of three employees who escaped death was Robert Ratikin. "It was a miraculous escape," Ratikin said. "A girder-fell and landed on one of the big diesel engines near where I was standing. "I crawled througTT the ruins, after the blast. I think a hSi piston caused the explosion." Ratikin's left arm was cut.

The largest K tojvn ' was Morristown '(Shelby - County),with a populatlcm of "050 persons. Most of the area was rural, including all customers on thejjtush County Rural Electric Membership Corp. The explosion wrecked a building housing a turbine in the

Southeastern Indiana Power Company's, diesel generating plant, which makes electricity for many communities in Southeastern Indiana. Persons acquainted with the plant said it was converted from ari old building seven or ..eight years ago at a cost of about $1,000,000. Dig For Bodies ; Ten State Police units sped to the scene and immediately called for laborers to volunteer to dig into the debris. A spokesman said they expected to find more bodies cr persons alive who were trapped in the debris. The blast occurred at 9:40 a.m. CDT. At Indianapolis, Mrs. Earl Carter, wife of the presiilenfof the power company, said her husband was informed by telephone that "something terrible has happened" at the Rushville plant. She said he left immediately, not knowing what it was all about. Mrs. Nancy Bicknel!

No mention was made of the working conditions provided by the new contract. The closed shop ben of the Taft-Hartley law was the core of the dispute. Pilch said that "union protection is insured by several provisions" and added that unless the union : thought the protection "sufficient and workable we would not recommend that this contract be accepted." Under the' terms of a recent New York settlement newspapers there agreed to hire only "quali

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. (UP) President Truman tcdav reached into the ranks of his old-time New Deal com

rades to pick Hoosier Judge Sherman Minton for the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Associate Jus

tice Wiley B. Kutledge. The President told his White House news conference that the high court pest will go to Minton, an Indiana Democrat who once sat next to Mr. Truman in the U. S. Senate. Minton, who has been on the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago since May, 1941, became a dark horse in the Supreme Court competition only yesterday, when some highlyplaced persons passed the word that he was "in." Until then, speculation has centered on Attorney General J. Howard McGrath, who appeared to have moved into line for the high court a month ago when Attorney General Tom C. Clark succeeded the late Frank Murphy on the Supreme Court.

dealt in part with Great Britain's hope that the United States will take on some of the expensive responsibility of supporting the "'d war in the Far East, notably Burma, ' India and Parki3tan.

Corp. and other steel companies "are deliberately seeking to force a strike upon the union and the American people." In a bitter telegram to U. S. Steel President Benjamin F. Fairless. Murray charged the steel industry with "saying to the Americ&n people, 'the public . be damned.'" "If a strike ensues on September 25, the responsibility for such strike clearly and unmistakably will rest with U. S. Steel and the other producers in the industry," Murray said.

Won't Bargain. He charged U. S. Steel with re

fusal to bargain on the basis of

the 10-cent an hour insurance and pension package proposed by President Truman's board.

"No amount of double talk can

conceal the fact of this outright refusal on your part," he said.

Murray said Fairless' state

ment of yesterday constituted a

flat rejection" of the board's

recommendations and a refusal

Mo bargain with the union on the

basis of the board's recommenda

tions."

Fairless notified the union that

his company was ready for "in

telligent bargaining," but that the

board's recommendation of insurance and pensions without employe' contribution was "unacceptable" and a "revolutionary doctrine."

Truman Hopeful. Murray reiterated his hope that

a strike of 500,000 basic steel workers, scheduled for 12:01 a.m.

Sept. 25, can be averted.

Earlier in Washington, Presi

dent Truman told a press confer-

er;ce he continued to hope for a settlement. He said it was his im

pression that all of the parties to the dispute had accepted the

beard's recommendations as a basis for negotiation. ,

Bethlehem Steel Corp. today

notified the union that it was

prepared to reopen negotiations,

but the notice contained no reference to the steel board's proposals. It was U. S. Steel's similar offer which provoked Murray's ire.

Murray said that public approv

al of the steel board's recommendations was "unsurpassed" in the history of labor negotiations.

Mr. Truman had been expected to give Murphy's seat to a Catholic, but it went to Clark, a Presbyterian. When McGrath resigned from the U. S. Senate and from his Democratic national chairmanship to become Attorney General, capital speculation wasthat Mr. Truman would handle the religious angle by giving tne next Supreme Court vacancy" to McGrath, a" Catholic. Crosses Guessers But today the President crossed up the guessers again. He said his choice was Minton, a Mason who lists his religion as Protestant, but claimed no particular church affiliation.""

"I'm profoundly grateful for the President's confidence in me," Minton said.

Reciprocal Trade Bill Hearing A Senate Fioht WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (U.R) The Senate moved toward a showdown on the administration's reciprocal trade bill today with Senate Democratic Leader Scott W. Lucas accusing Republicans of trying to foist a high protectionist tariff on the country. Passage of the bill was expected before nightfall after a critical test vote at 2 p.m. CST on

the Republican sponsored "''peril point" amendment. Informal nose-counting .on Senate leaders indicated the administration would have a margin

of 6 to 9 votes in its fight to defeat the Republican amendment. Nevertheless, Sen.TCugene Millikin, R., Colo., leader of the GOP

drive, reiterated his belief that it still has "a fighting chance." ' Attacking the amendment in the final round of debate, Lucas charged that the Republicans want "a protectionist tariff foisted on the public under the guise of reciprocal trade."
