OF Federal Personnel
BY Il e Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 1.-Two AFI
maritime unions laid plans today
for a Nationwide shipping strike
and telegraphed President Truman
that Government personnel woulc
be treated as strike breakers if they
attempted to man union vessels ir

The union stand was taken here
after 5000 members of the Seafar-
erS' International Union and the

The walkout stopped work or
more than 400 vessels on the three
coasts yesterday.
Union spokesman, making no ref

John Hawk, international vice
president of the STU, and Jack

In telegram to the President the
union leaders said the unions would
regard any attempt to utilize the

man ships under union contract as
an attempt to undermine and de-
stroy the hard-won union conditions
in the merchant marine"
The message continued:
We wish to inform you that we
will in no way cooperate with such
personnel in movements of Amer
lean vessels and that we will regard
and treat such personnel for what
they are-that is, strikebreakers.'

BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO, June Harry Eek
Ihardt, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci, said today he was convinced the
disastrous La Sale Hotel fire We'd
nesday morning started atop an ele-
vator by sparks from signalling
cable.
At the same time, he said one Of
the witnesses in his investigation
of the flash blaze told him the
Loop hotel had experienced approx
imately II fires during the past year
but that the fire department was
summoned in only four instances.
Fred Wolf, a hotel maintenance
employe who was in the subbase-
ment of the building when the fire
broke out, has quoted by Eckhardt
as saying it had been the hotels
policy to fight blazes without fire
department aid in order to avoid
possible panic among the guests.
Both Mr.. Wolf and DR.. j. R. Ritter
of Los Angeles, a hotel guest told
him, Mr.. Exkhardt said, that they
first saw the fire above the elevator
car
Mr.. Eckhardt, who conducted his
inquiry yesterday, was among those
summoned to appear today at
coroner's inquest.
Many relatives OF the 50 persons
who lost their lives in the fire were
expected to be witnesses at the in
quest. The seth victim was Miss
Opal Sweat, 10, of Tampa, Fla, who
died last night in a hospital.
The City Council was called into
special session for a complete report
on the holocaust and to mar a pro-
gram aimed against all business and
amusement houses which have been
denied licenses because of violation
OF fire or building codes.
The drive started Immediately at
ter the fire with orders issued for
closing two Loop theater. and five
night clubs. However, one of the
theaters, the Shubert was granted
two weeks grace to meet fire ordi-
nance requirements and remained
open. The Great Northern however,
was dark last night.

House Studying Move
To Combine Truman
And Case labor Bills
BY the Associated Pres,

A move to wrap up the Case labor
disputes bill and President Humans
emergency strike control measure
into one legislative package is under
study in the House.
The plan has not jelled COM
pletely, but it's hackers are discuss
ing its strategic value toward forcing
enactment of the Case bill.
That long-range legislation, bit
terly opposed by organized labor,
already has passed Congress and is
on Mr.. Truman's desk. 1t would
create q Federal mediation board,
give it power to ban work stoppages
for go days and deny job rights to
workers who struck during this
period. 1t also contains restrictions
on some union activities.
Truman Studying Bill.
Mr.. Truman told his news confer
ence yesterday that he still is study
Ing it. He previously spoke out
against any permanent labor legis-
lation during the current period of
industrial unrest.
Because of this attitude, some of
the measures sponsors in the House
privately said they are suggesting"
to key officials that if the Chief
Executive does veto the bill they
attach it as a rider on his emergency
legislation.
Attorney General Clark denied to-
day that the Justice Department has
been asked to prepare a presidential
message vetoing the Case bill.
Leaving the White House after
cabinet meeting, Mr. Clark was told
there was such a report going
around.
Calls Report "Rumor."
He dismissed this as a "rumor,"
and told reporters:
L have not been asked to prepare
such a message. I'm sure that the
President would have said something
to me if the request had gone to
the department..
The latter measure is now await
Ing House action, after passing both
chambers in varying forms. The
House voted to give the President
power to take over essential strike
bound industries and to draft work.
ers necessary to run them. The
Senate deleted the draft authority.
Mr.. Truman said yesterday he pre-
ferred the House version.
Compromise Effort Delayed.
House leaders had planned to send
the legislation to Senate and House
conferees yesterday for a compro-
mise attempt. They decided to post
pone the move until next week, how
ever, when informed their effort
would be blocked.
Any member could block the con-
ference procedure move, and this
would send the bill to the Rules
Committee, whose members are par
ticularly friendly to Case bill sup
porterS.
Should it once get the measure,
the Rules Committee would have the
power to recommend that the House
accept theeCase bill as an amend
ment. This recommendation would
be subject to House vote, and
would have to be agreed to by the
Senate before it could go to Mr..
Truman.
Meanwhile. other backstage ma
neuvering over the fate II the two
bills continued.
Supporters of tie Case measure
are circulating petition asking the
President to approve it. They re-
ported approximately $50 signatures.
Opponents have similar petition,
requesting a veto. They claim about
100 signers. In the event of veto
two-thirds of the members of the
House and Senate would be required
to override the President.

Grain Situation
Appears Gloomy

1t is apparent to all of us now that
a very short oat crop will be har-
vested in Mississippi this year, says
George L. Evans, Asst. county agent
There is a great demand for oats
now and the demand will probably
increase within the next 80 days.
All farmers who are going to plant
oats next fall should have them
bought or contracted before or at
harvesting time this spring. Unless
this is done we are not going to
have planting oats we will need
later. .toa
later, Mr.. Evans said.
The wheat average will probably
be increased any time over what
was planted last fall 1t is advisable
to farmers planting wheat to buy
their seed at the same time they
buy their oats.
There is going to be an extreme
shortage of all grains for perhaps
the next eighteen months at least.
We are going to feel it in this area
much sooner than the people an
ticipate it. Flour and meal are 60
ing to be hard to find in less than
thirty days. The "set-a-side" order
by Secretary of Agriculture, c. An
derson, will take so much of the
wheat and corn and there isn't 60
ing to be nough left to anything
like give lis what we are going to
need.
