Ellis, IS. of Hyannis, seated in a Fremont Street restaurant. The informant said the men closely resembled the prison CTS pictured in newspapers.
 The Cape Cod search for Boom- hover. Ellis and Augustine Bar barosa, 34, of Taunton, continued as bridges leading over the Canal from the Cape to the mainland were un- der heavy guard and Barnstable po- lice warned residents to keep their doors, automobiles and windows locked.
 A bloodhound was used in the search for the men who were de- scribed as dangerous criminals of the worst sort"

FuirIess PIun Not Feasible To President
Big LoboF Strikes Labeled as PoFties' Battles for Power

Washington, Jan. 24.-CUP)-- President Truman today described the nations big labor disputes as battles for power between manage ment and labor.
 He told reporters he thought there was too much power on eaca side and that the Government should assert the power of the people.
 Asked what would be done to as !. sert this power, Mir. Truman said that he personally had done as much as he could.
 He rejected the suggestion Of Benjamin r. Fairless, president ot U. s. steel Corporation, that the Chief Executive call a conference of the executives of major industries now involved in strikes.
 willing for Meeting
 Fairless made his suggestion in broadcast last night.
 The President said that he did not make his engagements over the radio or through the press.
 The President said that he had held conferences with management executives before. and that he was perfectly willing to have other meetings. But, he said, the best thing Fairless could do was send him word that he would accept the Presidents proposal for settle- nent of the steel strike.
 The President said he thought it would not be practical Co seize the steel mills at the present time. He added quickly. however, that this was not to be construed as a statement that he would not seize them eventually.
 Has Done All Possible
 Mfr. Truman talked slowly and thoroughly in a news conference aS he answered a number of questions bearing on the nations labor dis putes.
 Reporters repeatedly tried 70 draw from the Chief Executive de- tails of any plans for the Govern ment to assert the power of the people in the steel case.
 Mfr. Truman said he thought ne had done everything possible. He repeated his belief that he though; the biggest factor preventing set clement was the desire of each side to see who is most powerful.

State Idle 100000
Further Shutdowns Are Threatening
BY UNITED PRESS

With 5000 workers already idle because of strikes which threaten ed statewide shutdowns from lack of materials. the State Labor De- partment estimated today that an- other 10000 were unemployed in Connecticut because of reconversion layoffs or inability to find jobs.
 The 100000 overall figure was an- nounced by David Pinsky, research director of the Employment Secur- ity Division who predicted that a prolonged steel strike would easily double this figure. This estimate was regarded as conservative in view of a forecast of the Manufac- turers Association of Connecticut that the total would reach 200 900 within a few weeks unless the na- tion-wide walkout was adjusted speedily. The MAC figure did not include those who now were unable to work for other than strike rea- sons.
 Pinsky said that his total includ- ed 5000 laid off or otherwise idle, and approximately 10000 veterans who had not found employment.
 With the steel strike effects be- coming increasingly serious, there also was tn threat of a general shut down in the brass industry. throw ing another 30,O00 out of work. However, the CIO Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers. in recommending rejection of a 10 percent wage in- crease, proposed that it's original de- mand for 30 percent be lowered to 24 percent. The Brass workers, cen- tered mostly at Waterbury, will vote on both proposals Friday night.
 Conservation of steel stockpiles kept allied industries operating to- day. A strike of brass workers. how ever. was regarded as 6 blow which definitely would knock the props out from under all metal industries in the state.

 Becomes UnPuly

Bombay, Jan. A-(UP)-Police fired into a threatening mob of rn- dian Nationalist sympathisers in downtown Bombay today as anti British rioting flamed through the city for the second straight day, leaving at least 10 dead and hum dreds injured.
 The latest outbreak started shortly after midday when crowd of In- dian men and boys halted traffic on a main street and blocked off the street car lines with chunks of ma- sorry.
 Police patrols sent to clear away the barricades ran into a barrage of stones and debris hurled from the rooftops.
 Set Fire tO Street Car
 The police finally opened fire when the mob set fire to a street car. There was no immediate word on the number of casualties, but 1t was believed that several more would be added to the list of 10 rioters killed in yesterdays street fighting.
 Another brawl was touched off in the same area this afternoon by the appearance of a funeral procession following the body of one of the Inc dian Nationalists killed yesterday.
 The mourners forced passersby to doff their hats and join the cortege and hurled stones at spectators watching the procession from the sidelines.
 Traffic Disorganized
 The demonstrations disorganized traffic throughout downtown Bom- bay and merchants closed their shops to save them fro mlooters.
 Last nights turbulent rioting, In whic about $50 perso nswereh I which about $50 persons were in- jured, including 70 policemen, ended around midnight but even after that hour jt was dangerous for Europeans to appazt i1i the chuwpaty district.
 Whenever Q European was sighted on the streets, crowds gathered around him shouting "Jai Hind"- Victory Tndia"-swhich was the war cry of the Pro-Japanese Indian Army.

 KoFeon Uprising
 Against Russions
 Denied by Hodge

Tokyo, Jan. 2A. - (UP) = Brig Gen. Frayne Baker, public rela. tions director for Gen. Douglas MacArthur, denied today that ne or any other responsible official as Supreme Headquarters had issued a statement criticizing the TaSs News Agency.
 Baker was referring to a dispatch published in the United States yes. terday which quoted an unnamed headquarters spokesman as saying that Tass dispatch criticizing Ana- ericn occupation policy in Korea was part of a definite program % discredit Macarthur.
 MacArthur Noncommittal
 He said that Macarthur had not reacted either publicly or privately to the Tass story. He added that MacArthur felt that any reaction was a matter for It. Gen. John R. Hodge, Americn commander ia Korea, who is under MacArthur's supreme command.
 Hodge issued a statement In Seoul, Korea, yesterday in which oae denied as without gasis in fact" the Soviet news agency's story which claimed that the Am erican command has inspired re- actionary demonstrations in Korea against the Moscow foreign mini- sters' decision for Koren trustee ship.
 MacArthur declined to make a statement when invited to do eo hv the United Press.
 Disregaras Criticism
 MacArthur himself generally ia inclined to disregard criticism nf ms command. Some of his srbor- dinates, however, sieze upon any criticism of the Pacific command as an attack upon MacArtls1r $ personal stewardship.
 Numerous demonstrations bv Koreans in Tokyo have been held recently protesting against the trusteeship proposal contained ir the Moscow communiQue. There are a half dozen Soviet correspondents in Tokyo, several of whom saw Macarthur after the Moscow con- ference.
 MacArthur's only recent public statement bearing upon relations with the Russians was issued on Dec. 30. When he disclosed that he had objected to the four-power control plan for Japan before the foreign ministers met in Moscow He said he had not been consulted during the conference, but stated 1t was his full purpose to carry out the decisions.

James F Byrl1es for quick Wlth* drawal Of occupation armies from all countries except Germany ana Japan.
 Forty-seven of the si United Nae tlons voted Co adopt the resolution framed in Moscow by the Big Three foreign ministers.
 Jean Paul Boncour, a French delegate, proposed that the atomic commission meet in the unitea States.
 Issues Introduced
 Urging passage of the resolution, Byrnes Issued an indirect appeal to Britain, France and Russia to call home their occupation troops whose presence in Iran, Greece, zr- donesia and the L.evant has caused angry disputes among the United Nations.
 ByrneS' stand on occupation forces applied equally to United States policy in the Far East North China and Korea. Thus the United States went on record as desiring to withdraw such troops as soon as the surrender of all Japanese forces had been effected and a civilian trusteeship could be set up for Korea.
 There was only nominal opposi~ ton to the atomic energy resolution by the Philippine delegation, which abstained from voting.
 The resolution created a commis~ sion to study and recommend pcs- sible international control of atomic energy. Membership of the commits sion will consist of the n Security Council members plus Canada, and will take instructions from the see curity council.
 Safeguards Asked First
 Byrnes appealed for all-out ef= forts for international control ok atomic energy. denounced unilateral political action and appealed for immediate action to convert the world from an armed camp" to a peaceful world.
 Byrnes said the atomic enerav plan anticipates international coa@ trol of atomic energy. but he re- iterated indirectly the AInericnAz position that no atomic secrets wa1 be dfyulged until adequate safes guards have been devised by the UNO to prevent use of atomic ana ergy for mas destruction.

and AFL meat workers despite CTO insiStence that their wage demands be met first.
 President Truman's seizure order, which goes into effect at i2:Ol a. m. Saturday, will be issued today or tomorrow.
 Even if all the strikers returned to work Saturday it would be some time before the nations meat sup. plies would be back to normal. Butchering and processing have fallen far behind schedules and 1t might take a week or 10 days to take up the slack.
 May Swallow Disappointment
 Officials here were confident that members of the striking United Clearinghouse Workers (CIO) would. swallow their disappointment at not receiving an immediate wage hike and return to work when the Government takes over the plants. The CIO represents about two- thirds of the strikers.
 The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen (AFL) al- ready has instructed its members to resume work Saturday with the understanding that any wage iu- creases vii be retroactive to the date of their return.
 Tn Chicago, a CIO spokesman said he doubted that the UPW members would return to work without a pay raise. They are de- manding a l7 l-2 cent increase. The AFL is asking IS cents.
 Workers Want More
 we don't want to be in a posi- ton of seeming to Haunt the gov- eFnment." said Lyle Cooper. re- search director of the CIO union, But the workers want more mon- ey." His statement was backed up by strike strategy committees in New York, Chicago and elsewhere.
 Lewis Clark, President of the CIO union, said in a national radio broadcast that he had called rep resentatives of all local unions 70 meet in Chicago tomorrow to de- eide their course of action in event of seizure.
 Clark said he personally felt the seizure was unjust and that it amounted to government inter vention for the packers benefit" 1"
 Government seizure of struck dn- dustries during the war always re- suited in back-to-work actions al- though there were marked delays in some coal mine disputes.

Newport, Ark, Jan. 24-(UP)- Relatives and friends of Marine Pfc. William Langston were convinced today that he was alive but pre- ferred to remain officially dead" rather than return as a cripple to his already remarked wife.
 His family searched fantically for trace of the young Marine, or an imposter who fooled even his closest friends in the cruelest kind of hoax.
 The young warrior was reported killed on Two lima last March T, but friends said they were positive he was the man who talked to them in Newport last weekend.

 The mystery of this modern Enoch Arden began when a crip- pied Marine. his hands injured and one foot missing, visited Newport Saturday.
