Strike Clouds Darker
 Maritime Workers Reject Wage Offer

1 New York, May 28-(UP)-Hope dimmed today for averting the scheduled June IS strike of the na- tion's 100000 maritime seamen and longshoremen, as the National Maritime Union (C.IOD rejected an offer by steamship operators of a $12.5O monthly raise.
 The offer, unanimously voted down by 3 500 members of the N. M. U. meeting at Manhattan Gen. ter early today, had been accepted tentatively yesterday by union ne- gotiators headed by Joseph Curran, N.MU. president.
 The membership meeting instruct ed negotiators to press for a 30 percent wage increase and "an adequate increase in overtime rates
 and retroactive pay"
 Represented g Percent Raise
 Union officials said the offer made by representatives of 39 At lantic and Gulf Coast steamship operators represented only per- cent wage increase for the lowest seaman ratings involved.
 When announcement of the agreement was made yesterday by Curran 1t was believed that pat tern might have been established to settle demands by all seven unions of the maritime unity com- mitte which has planned the walk out which will tie up shipping in both East and West Coast ports.
 However, the action of the NM. U. members has placed the nego- tiations bask to the same point at which they started months ago.
 Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Sch- wellenbach has scheduled negotia- tions to begin in Washington to- morrow between representatives of all seven unions and the steam ship operators.
 s. U. F. Votes Today
 Meanwhile, in San Francisco the Sailors Union of the Pacific (A.F. L.) which is not associated with the seven unions of the maritime unity committee, announced re- ciept of the same $12.50 monthly wage proposal by the operators.
 The SUP. indicated that the union executive committee, repre- Senting 65,00O seamen would meet later today to act upon the offer,
 Curran has said the maritime workers will strike if their wage demands are not met regardless of what kind of representative legislation they pass in Congress"
 At recent convention in San Francisco the unions mutually agreed to strike if any one of the unions has been unable to come to terms with the ship operators by | the June IS deadline.

Rochester PoroIyzed By Strike
Protest City's Fight Against Organizing Of Own EmploYes

Rochester, N. Y, May 28-(UP) = Business and industry were par alyzed in this city of 325, 900 today by an unprecedented general strike of 48,000 union workers.
 Bands of pickets roved through the city, stopping all forms of pub lie transportation and blocking en- frances to municipal government buildings.
 It was strike in protest against the city'S attempt to prevent union- ization of city employees.
 Transit System Halted
 The city's transit system was the first to feel the strike. Tickets took up positions around bus depots, garages and trolley car barns. Not a wheel moved. Thousands of per- sons, including school children were forced to walk.
 The city's entire police force was mobilized to guard against disor- ders. In Albany, Coy. Thomas F.. Dewey kept close watch on the situation.
 The walkout was ordered by the CL.O.-A.F.L. strike strategy .con- mittee despite last minute interven- tion by Dewey.
 Principal issue in dispute was Article |, Section IT, of the New York State Constitution which per- mits employees to organize, but which City Manager Louis B. Cartwright refused to recognize, the unions contended.
 Tickets Were Arrested
 About 400 pickets were sent to Department of Public Works Sta- tions where only a few days ago the city manager had 267 arrested on disorderly conduct charges.
 The strike was the outgrowth of a dispute which arose May Is when City Manager Louis B. Cartwright abolished 489 Department of Pulp lie Works jobs to prevent unioniza- tion of employees. Later 61 ash truck drivers were dismissed for refusing to man vehicles.
 Dewey was called into the dispute last night when the State Fedora tion of Labor sought his aid in settling the controversy before ex- piration of an, ultimatum from the C.I.o.-A.FL. Strike Strategy Coun- Gil.
 The ultimatum demanded that the city recognize the right of municipal workers to organize, re- instate all dismissed workers with out prejudice and dismiss disor- derly conduct charges against those arrested.

 SuecumbS at 88

Washington, May 28-(UP) Sen. Carter Glass, O.-Va0, the peppery, little "unreconstructed rebeP' who devoted 46 years to public service, died here early today following 8 long illness. He was 88.
 The one-time Lion of Virginia" succumbed to congestive heart fail- ure at 2:15 A. M. EDT. The end came quietly and peacefully"

 Funeral services will be held at 3 P. M.. Thursday at Montview Glass home in Lynchburg, Va. Bur- ia will be in Spring Hill Cemetery there.
 The elder statesman of the Jeff fersonian Democrats and one of the ablest men in the Senate, had been in failing health for nearly five years. He had not appeared on the Senate floor since 1922.
 Some of his constituents tried to have him removed from office last year on grounds that he was physic- ally unable to perform his duties. but the Supreme Court rejected the move.
 The Senate was expected to eu- logize Glass today and then adjourn out of respect for his memory. , Glass served in Washington from Dec. 2, 1901. He first was elected Representative from Virginia and, with the exception of two years when he was Secretary of Treasury in the Wilson Administration, re- mained in the House until 1920 when he was elected to the Senate. He was reelected every time his Senate seat was at stake. His current term would have ended in 1Q4Q

Test 3,1OO Cars
 40 Percent Foil
 To Pass Operation

Forty percent of the 3,1OO cars
 3sted bl local police in the first
 1 days of the national Check Your Car" drive failed to pass the test : because of some defect, Police Su- ,erintendent William J. Roach, re- ported today.
 Chief cause of failure to pass the ar examination was tire defect. Superintendent Roach said 37O cars were rejected because of bad tires. Other causes of rejection were: headlights, 338; wheel alignment. 297; stop lights, 278; tail lights, 165; brakes, AZ; parking lights, 30; wind shield-wipers, 10; obscure markers. 1: horns, 3; vision, 2. and direc- tional signals, 1.
 sOf the 3,1OO cars tested up to and including May 25, 2,976 went through the testing lane on Freight Street on the volition of the driv- ITS.
 Police stopped 124 other motor ,ehicles which had violated the motor vehicle laws. These were re- quired to take the check. Defects found were reported to the Motor Vehicle Department in Hartford.
 Those cars.' however, found to be " defective after the drivers had gone through the lane voluntarily, were not reported to Hartford, the Su- perintendent said. The drivers of these cars were warned about the defect and advised by the police to have repairs made.
 Many of the rejected cars, said the superintendent, were returned to the lane for a recheck. There were no figures however, on the number of cars which passed through the lane second time.
 Superintendent Roach said many drivers, unaware that their cars possessed defects, called the depart inent to thank them for discover ing what would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
 The testing lane, under the direc-' ton of It. Joseph Petit. closed yesterday due to the heavy rain- fall. but was opened again today at ptP. M. It will continue in opera tion until June 26.

C. L. c P. Says Cool Ample
 Utility's Stocks
 Corry 70 Days

The Connecticut Light & Power Company announced today that it has ample supply of coal for its needs. A company spokesman said the utility's coal stocks are suffi- cient for from 60 to 70 days of operation.
 The spokesman labelled as erron- eous a headline and story in a To- cal morning paper that the com- pany has only 10-day supply of coal.
 Operating officers of the States power companies discussed the situ- ation resulting from the coal strike at meeting here yesterday after noon. Another regular meeting will be held next Monday.
 Normal operations are planned Friday by the Scovill Manufacturing Company and the Chase Brass & Copper Company after the Memor- ial Day holiday Thursday.
 American Brass Company opera tions Friday and Saturday are be- ing left to the discretion of local management of the company's diviS- ions, Arthur H. Quigley, company president, said today The shortage of metal in some operations is the principal factor. he said.
 MT. Quigley expressed the belief that most departments will operate as usual Friday.
 Chase plans to open Friday un- less new developments" force a change in plans, while Scovill is for regular production Friday.
 Local industry faces grave situ- ation unless coal deliveries are re- stunned reasonably soon. Coal stock piles are dwindling, and there is fear that the Government may im- pose another freight embargo if the strike continues.

'Work-Druft Clause Faces Early Deoth
 Other Provisions
 Of Trurnon's Bill
 To Be Toned Down

Washington, May 28 = (UP)- Death brought a 24-hour armistice today in the bitter Senate fight over President Truman's request for emergency powers to deal with strikes against the Government.
 The Senate laid aside it's debeate on the House-approved strike con- trol legislation to eulogize the late Sen. Carter Glass, CD.-Va), its old est member.
 Following the eulogies by Glass colleagues, the Senate was to re- cess in his memory until tomorrow when strike control debate will be resumed.
 Swelling opposition to Mir Tru- mans proposals promised to elim- mate the work-or- draft principle and tone down other drastic pro- visions.
 Administration sources conceded that the proposal to draft strikers in 8 government-sei7ed industry appeared doomed. They hoped to salvage the rest of the emergency powers. ,..
 The Presidents request for the most stringent aatt-shrike law since the birth of the New Deal drew deIlunciatory blasts from not only organized labor-the A.F.L., CI.O. and Indepedent Railroad Brother hoodS-but from liberals and con- servatives in both the Republican and Democratic parties.
 Barkley Fights Valiantly
 It provided a rare sight in the Senate with conservative Republi- cans on common ground with New Deal Democrats. Only last week Republicans joined conservative Southern Democrats to override the New Dealers and pass the Case Bill with it's severe restrictions on labor unions.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley, Ky, fought valiantly to push through the House-approv- ed emergency measure, which would apply only in the reconversion period to strikes affecting the na- tional welfare.
 He kept the Senate in session until 1915 A. M EDT. moved up today's meeting one hour to noon, EDT, and threatened night sessions until the bill is passed
 That might take all week. He may find the Case Bill tackled on as an amendment unless MT. Tru- man promises not to veto the Case measure.
 Taft Blocks Barkley
 Sen. Robert A. Taft, R.-O), poised with series of Republican amendments to the emergency bill blocked Barkley's request at the end of last nights session to limit de- bate on the measure.
 The Administration bill would permit the President to set a deal line for resumption of work in government seized industry. After that company and union officials would be subject to fine and im- prisonment for refusing to cooper ate in resuming operations, and in- dividuals failing to work would be subject to the draft and lose all seniority rights.
 It would let the President fix the wages and working conditions during the period of Government operation. Net profits after payment of "just compensation" to plant owners would go into the Federal Treasury.

East Reports
 Roin Damage
By UNITED PRESS

Flooded rivers and streams swept through central and western Penn. sylvania today, inundating exten- Sive areas and leaving thousands homeless.
 The floods followed in the wake of widespread thundershower which also brought heavy damage in New York, New Jersey, Connec- ticut and other eastern states.
 At least three persons were re- ported drowned.
 Worse Than '36 Flood
 Communications were disrupted by the swirling flood waters Of the Susquehanna and its tributaries in central Pennsylvania. A number of towns were cut of from highway and railroad connections.
 Continued heavy rains last night and today were forcing the flood waters higher in some areas around the Susquehanna. In several areas conditions were reported worse than in the disastrous 1936 flood.
 The U. S. Weather Bureau pre- dicted continuing rain for most of the day, in Pennsylvania, although it expected clearing weather by late tonight.
 Heaviest damage was in 50-mile area around the rail city of Wii- Transport in central Pennsylvania Just south of the New York state line.
 Streets Flooded
 At nearby Lock Haven, the main streets were under from four to six feet of, water and about 5000 per- sons were believed stranded there.
 Heavy rains for 60 hours had caused landslides which blocked highways and railroads into Rem ovo. Communications lines were broken.
 Both the north and east branches of the Susquehanna still were rising today.
 The Allegheny River was rising at Pittsburgh and was expected to reach crest tonight at 2216 feet- two and q half feet below flood stage
