CHICAGO. May 19.-The end of a
three -day-old truck drivers union
strike, seriously affecting shipment
Of food and war materials lin the
Chicago area, apparently ,yas up to
President Truman today. :
Government seizure of the truck
ing facilities was urged by operators
in an appeal to Mr.. Truman, while
the Wholesale Grccers' Association
OF Chicago appealed to the President
to halt the walkout Of $500 members
Of the Independent Chicago Truck

There was no apparent likelihood
that the union would abandon the
strike and the National War Labor
Board said it would not consider the
dispute while the strike continued,
The walkout at midnight Wednes-
day was IN protest over a WLB
wage-hour decision The WLB said
the strikers request for a review of
its decision would be acted on when
the walkout terminates.
Effects Of the strike became more
pronounced as it continued, with
most OF the city's chain stores,
which are supplied by the striking
union, the hardest hit. Depleted
stocks were reported in many stores.
Hotels. hospitals and other insti-
tutions also reported a drop in de-
liveries.
Some Government goods were
moved by SO Army trucks operated

Poles were invited for negotiations
with the Soviet authorities. The
Soviet authorities do not and will
not conduct negotiations with those
who break the law on the protection
Of the Red Army rear.
g. As far as the question of the
reorganization Of the Polish provi-
sional government itself is con-
cerned, it can only be solved on the
basis of the Crimea decisions be-
cause no deviations from these de-
cisions can be permitted.
Il. I think the Polish question can
be solved by agreement between the
Allies only If the following ele-
mentary conditions are observed:
"A. If in the reconstruction of the
Polish provisional government the
latter is recognized as the basic core
|of the future Polish government OF
national unity, similar to the case
|of YugoSlavia, where the National
Liberation Committee was recog-
nized as the main core of the united
Yugoslav government.
"B. If as a result Of the recon.
Struction a government is created ir
Poland which will pursue a policy
Of friendship with the Soviet Union
and not the policy of the Gordon
sanitaire' against the Soviet Union
&C. II the question of the recon.
struction Of the Polish government
is resolved together with the Poles
who at present have ties with the
Polish people, and not without
them. Yours respectfully, STALIN."

the District Court at the conference

sideration Of the needs of the Dis
trict Courl and the Court of Ap-

British Reveal Sinkinq
OF Big Batt!eship
BY H. J. J. SARGENT,
North American NeWspaper Alliance,

LONDON, May 1s.-It is now
possible to tell the story-though
still lacking many details-of how
the British Battleship Queen Eliza
beth, one Of the most famous vessels
Of the British fleet, was torpedoed
and sunk in the shallow water OF
Alexandria harbor in Egypt in jan
uary, 1912.
Thousands Of troops must have
seen her aground at Alexandria, heI
upper works showing above the
water, but never a word was pub
lished to confirm the story of her
loss which repeatedly was broadcast
by the Italian and German radios.
1t was on a night in January OF
1912 when an Italian midget SUBJ
marine, manned by a single officer,
crept close to the Queen Elizabeth
and attached heavy delayed-action
charge to her hull. An immense ex-
plosion followed and the ship began
to settle. Fortunately the water was
shallow and she lay upright on the
sea DOtCOm.
Severest security silence was i'm
mediately imposed. Loss of the
Queen Elizabeth represented a
diminution of gravest proportions to
the Allied naval force in the Mediter-
ranean, where that force was already
small enough. Secretly the ship was
raised with immense difficulty and
patched up in Alexandria dockyard.
With naval and air protection, she
was taken to Gibraltar and then
came the final stage of her journey
The Queen Elizabeth sailed across
the Atlantic to an American dock
yard. There she was given a
thorough overhaul and, months
later, she was back at sea.

handed a peace offer to the United

was nothing official here to support
these rumors, and the tendency

The Chinese for some time have
claimed the existence of an under
ground peace faction in Japan,
headed by former. Premier Prince
Konoye and supported secretly by
big business interests anxious to
avoid further destruction Of Japa-
nese industry.
In Human Province, Chinese troops
have been reported in hot pursuit

OF Paoching, guarding the COM
munications city of Hengyang in
Japan's vital supply corridor from
Manchuria to Indo- China.
At last reports the Chinese were
within 18 miles of Paoching on
the northwest, and 73 miles from
Hengyang, junction of the Cam
