M'KEESPORT IN
 PECK OF TROUBLE
Penn. City of 57,OOO Is Disrupted By Strike of
 City EmplOyes

McKeesport, Pa, June 16.-UP)
 The city council considered emer- gency action today to prevent dls- ruption of essential services in this industrial city of 57,000 persons as a result of strike of 200 municip- al employees.
 The strike, called by the state, county and municipal workers (CIO) for recognition and higher wages, closed the city garage, garbage fur- mace and plumbing shop, and lm- periled maintenance of streets, sewers and water mains, It did not affect the police and fire depart ments, city hall employees and work CTS in the water filtration plant.
 The city council, in emergency session, was especially concerned by the health problem arising from interruption of garbage disposal. Mayor George H. Lyle, who had declared to the workers that you can't strike against the people" was reported to have stricken the names of striking city garage employees from the payroll.
 The city council had voted wage increases totaling $25,0oo last Fri day but refused to recognize the union.
 David Kanes, district president of the union, said there would be no interference with the water supply but a potential threat was seen in the event of a break in intended water mains which supply several defense industry plants. Electric service was not involved.
 1A The strike went into effect last fnidnight, but picket lines were not set up until today. Tickets carry ing banners paraded before city hlliIdinRs.

Germany Is Believed to Be Putting Pressure Upon
 Russia to Bend Knee
HITLER NOT ANXIOUS
 FOR REAL WAR THERE
London Experts Believe
 Russia Doesn't Want to ] Fight Nazi Machine
BY HoLGER HANSEN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Stockholm, Sweden, June 16.-UP)-Baltic dispatches reported today that the Rus sian Baltic fleet had been put in a state of alarm, that German ships had been re- called to home ports from all over the Baltic area, that women and children were evacuating Helsinki and that Finland was calling up re- ServistS.
 Most of the dispatches were un- confirmed. There were suggestions of nerve war; in which7 deflnany was putting pressure on Russia for concessions, and also of a pos- sible smoke screen, intended to cover sudden German action else- where, in the many reports of criti- cal German Russian relations, but it was evident nevertheless, that the situation was an extra ordinary one.
 It was the newspaper DagenS Nyheter which reported that it un- derstood the Russian fleet had been put in state of alarm.
 Private advices from Helsinkj contained the report that all Ger man steamships had left Finnish and other Baltic harbors.
 Reports also were circulated here that Germany had recalled all it's Baltic ports hips.
 Last Nazi Ship Gone
 Though this report also was ur,- confirmed, it was noted that the last German ship here had left three days ago and that now for the first time in year there was not single ship in yards here for repairs or inspection.
 Dagens Nyheter reported from Helsinski that women and children had started to leave the capital. It was added that for the present the evacuation seemed voluntary.
 The newspaper Aftonbladet's Hell sinki correspondent said that soma reservists were being called to the Finnish colors. He added that it would be incorrect to call this a mobilization of the Finnish army because Finland had never demo- bilized since the war with Russia.
 IL was indicated, the dispatch said, that there were no German troop concentrations in southern Finland.
 This, the dispatch said, was be- lieyed +o mean that Germany and Finland had divided their troop concentrations on a regional basia to serve fin event of an emergency. At this point in the dispatch the Aftonbladet's correspondent, tele- phoning to his newspaper here, waa cut of, presumably by a Finnish censor.

Washington, June 16.-lUP)--The United States Maritime Commission in its first action under the new ship requisition law, took possession today of six idle Danish ships tied up in American ports. Agents ot the commission went aboard the vessels in New York, Boston and Portland, Me, at 10 a. m, (EST) and posted placards, informing the crews that the ships and all their equip ment had been taken over by the American government.
 Three of the freighters were in New York, two in Boston and one in Portland, Me.
 Within the next few weeks, the commission expects to take over more Danish ships, and, as soon as sabotage damage repairs are con- pleted, some German and Italian vessels also.
 The requisitioning today was car ried out before negotiations were completed with Danish ships agents for compensation, indicating the urgent need for ships in the defense effort.
 There were 33 additional Danish bottoms in American or territorial waters, and the commission was negotiating to take over all of them as soon as possible.

All German Places Must Be Closed Up By July 10
 Are Orders

Washington, June 16.- (UP)-The United States to- day ordered the German gov ernment to close all it's con- sular establishments in the United States not later than July 10 on the grounds that their continued presence is contrary to the welfare of this country. It also ordered the closing of the German Library of Information in New York city, the German Rail- way and Tourist agency and the Trans-Ocean News Service.
 The new action represented an almost complete break in United States German diplomatic relations.
 The official note requesting the withdrawal of the consuls and the closing of the German agencies was handed to Wilhelm Tannenberg, first secretary of the German em- bassy by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles.
 Tannenberg Sailed
 Welles had summoned Hans Thomsen, charge d'affaires to his office but, being in New York, Thomsen sent Tannenberg instead. Welles announced his action at press conference a few minutes later.
 Asked whether an investigation of the activities of consular officials and others on which the decision was based, had been made, Welles, referred his questioners to the De- partment of Justice.
 He gave a similar answer when asked whether any of those men, toned had been involved in sabo- tage activities.
 Welles said that there was no present plan in mind to ask the withdrawal of the representatives of other countries. He also made it clear that diplomatic representa- tives connected with the German embassy here were not involved.
 Germany maintains "A consular offices in the United States and outlying possessions.
 They are located at: Mobile, Los San Francisco, Balboa, Pan- anna Canal Zone, Colon, Panama, Denver, Honolulu, Chicago, New Dr.

 RESTS BRUINS
(By United Press)

The Detroit Red Wings elimi- mated the New York Rangers, de- lending champions, and the Chi- cago Black Hawks busted the Montreal Canadiens last night in Stanley Cup Hockey playoffs. The Toronto Maple Leafs took 8 2-l edge in their best of seven series with the Boston Bruins with Q 7-2 victory.
 Mod Bruneteaus third period goal gave the Wings a 3-2 win over the Rangers while Gully Dahlstrom's tally in the same ses- sion tripped the Canadiens, 3-2. Detroit tailed twice in the open ing period while the Rangers scor- ed only once. Neil Colville scored for the Rangers with only nine seconds of the game remaining but Detroit goalie Johnny Mowers checked every surge thereafter.
 The Hawks held 8 two-goal lead over the Canadiens late in the sec. ond period but the losers scored twice in 2l seconds to even the count. Dahlstrom scored the clinch- CT at 3:3l of the final session.
 The Leafs went on scoring spree to trounce the Bruins, tallying three times in each of the last two periods after finding the nets for a single goal in the first period.
