(OnNeO FTeSS SCdII OUEECSpVhuCAV
 New York, April 1.-(UP) Two high officials of the CIO arrived today to discuss a threatened strike which may paralyze the vital trans portation arteries of the na- tion's largest city.
 The arteries are the miles of underground railroad-the subWays-and the threat came from their unionized employees marking time on a deadline for striking.
 The union officials, Alan s. Hay wood, national director Of the con- gress of industrial organization, and Lee Pressman, general counsel, came from Washington to confer with Mayor F. H. LaGuardia. They said hey were representing John l.. Lewis, CIO president, who could not devote his personal attention to the threatened strike because of a~ engagement elsewhere. Lewis is in West Virginia to address a meet ing of coal miners.
 100000 People Affected
 If they strike, 100000 persons will find their normal daily jour neying between work and home dit- ficult is not impossible. These T. GOO ,OOO operate offices and factories doing a total business in the hun dreds of millions.
 The trai'lS roared into Manhat- tan, the borough of industry and offices, this morning with the work CTS from the Boroughs of Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn, the boroughs of homes. But the trains may not be running this evening to take them back.
 A tentative deadline of 10 a. m. came and passed without any call for strike. It was reported without definite confirmation that the transport Union (CIO) was hopeful of a last minute settlement. Union headquarters gave no indication when a strike order would be giv- ep
 Mayor May Stop Mayor F. H. LaGuardia was be. lieved engaged in last minute ef- fort to head it off. He was the only official to predict that there would be no strike and it was believed he would confer with Michael J. Quill, international president of the union this morning, before the dead line. It was reported that John L. Lewis, president of the Congress of Indus trial Organizations, might fly here from Washington to participate in a conference.
 Heavy police guards were set around the power plants which sent the electricity into the third rails. Approximately 100 policemen spent the night around the unions head quarters Cat 153 w. 64th street) where Quill and his assistants worked.

Mayor Scully Is Still
 Sticking To Mulville
Only Candidate He Has For Chairman of Democratic Town Committee - Attorney Blansheld, Daniel
 T. DriscOll Are Mentioned

My only candidate for town chairman is Joseph F. Mulville.' y said Mayor Vincent A. Scully as delegates t, the Democratic town convention prepared to meet at The Eltor. tonight to elect a new town committee. MT. Mulville, who has announced not only his retirement but also ,,is intention of refusing to serve even if drafted unanimous ly, is out of the city on vacation
 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield is believed to be the most likely choice as MT. Mulville's successor. MT. Blansfield, a prominent member ot the bar, ha support among the op- posing factions within the party and would be able to exert strong pressure to alleviate present differ erces.
 Daniel T. Driscoll, gasoline deal CT, who was named to the town committee a few months ago, de- clined comment on reports that supporters were backing him for the town chairmanship. It was said that the support of MT. Mulvllle's packers would go to Attorney BlanSfield.
 Mo | to be Retained
 Most of the present town com- mittee is expected to be retained. Reorganization delegates, led by Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch, last Monday night voted down a proposal by Judge Edward Mascolo that city officials and em- ployes be barred from the town committee. Several on the city pay roll will go back on the committee.
 Among t'lose to go on the town committee as new members, accord- ing to reliable reports, are Nicholas Zappone president of the Young Democratic club; Michael Sasso, ctive in the Brooklyn section; Francis Butler, brother of Edward Butler, member of the budget di- rector's staff, and Thomas Scadden,

Fishing During
August Best In
Deep Water at Lake

The experienced fisherman
need not refrain from indulging
in his favorite sport at the lake
during the torrid August wealth
er.
Blue gills may be caught dur
ing this period among the lily
pads both with live bait and
with proper fly equipment. Don't
expect a full creel of limit
catches and do not venture out
during the heat of the day for a
good sunburn will be all that you
might reasonably expect, says
the experienced fisherman along
the lake shore.
But out in the deep water,
such as one may find off Avon
dale place, one should find some
real sport if fortunate enough to
hook a big one such as are like
ly to be lurking in deep water.
They say to solicit the advice
of the experienced "snake hunt
ers'. The lads who live along
the shore are a pretty good
bunch of fellows, and they know
where to look for the willy den
izens of the deep.

CHILDREN DIE IN
 FIRE AT DANBURY
Two Little Tots Perish as Mother Is Hanging Out
 Clothes in Yard

Danbury, Conn, March 25.-(UP) Two small children lest their lives today when an oil burner ex- ploded and destroyed their home. Adella May Roniaine, age 4 months, was burned to death in her carriage. Her sister. Jean, ?, died of suffoca- tion. Another child, George Romaine, 4, fled to safety. The children were alone in the three-room. one-story house. The mother, Mrs. Romaine, wife of WPA worker, was hanging clothes in the yard. She tried to reach the children but the flames enveloped the place so rapidly she was forced back.
 She called neighbors who also tried unsuccesfully to get into the blazing house. George was near the sitting room door when the ex- plosion occurred and ran into the yard. Jean, badly burned, was alive when firemen went into the build- ing but she died enroute to hos pital. The father is employed on tree project at Bantam.
