R,. R. TIEUp
 NOW SEEN
 ON MAY 18
Officials of Brotherhoods Assert Concessions
 Must Be Made
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

A new threat of a nationwide tie up of railroad service appeared on the labor front today, with govern ment action and concessions by the carriers the only avenues open to forestall strike of 100000 train men and engineers on May 18.
 Officials of the two brotherhoods. who delayed a strike last month pending a study by a government finding board of dispute over wages and working rules changes, set the new strike date after re- jecting the panels recommenda- tiOnS.
 Union leaders and representatives of the roads are to meet in Chica- go Monday but in Cleveland, broth erhood headquarters, labor obser- vers held that the carriers would t> 'sssssyw'iilli1is s1 sss.sltss aaay ooncessi~.as.
 Government Seizure
 Government seizure and opera tion of the roads also was consid- cred as course which could pos- sibly cancel the walkout, while naming new board or reconvening the old panel to resume iact-find- ing studies also would result in the strike being delayed.
 In Cleveland, J. F. Whitney, President of the trainmen, said 'if the government calls us to Wash iugton, yell go, but the strike or Ger won't be called off until a sat- isfactory settlement is reached"
 The two unions rejected the pam els recommendation for a 16-cent hourly wage increase and changes in some working rules. The unions had asked daily wage hikes of $2.50 and more sweeping rules changes.
 Coal Strike Situation
 In the country's current No. 1 la Dor dispute, the walkout of 100000 soft coal miners showed no signs of being settled. In Washington, Ed ward R. Burke, President of the Southern Coal Producers Associa- ton, said the country will have to feel the pinch" of short coal SUD- plies on reconversion before John L. Lewis, President of the AFL United Mine Workers, will disclose his specific demands.
 Labor disputes continued to keep idle about 725.000 workers, including about 100000 forced to quit work because of shortage of coal.

 OF LIFE MAGAZINE

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Sena- tor Theodore c. Bilbo (D-Miss) to- day applied the term "Nigger- lovers" to Henry R. Luce, publisher of Life Magazine, and his wife, Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R-Conn3
 Holding the Senate floor in op- position to the recent Life Maga- zine which characterized him as "the worst man in the Senate" the Mississippian told his colleagues that Life's recent appaisal of 33 Senators whose terms expire next January, was "the greatest lie in the history of the American press" and was published by a Negro Social Equality Outfit"
 Referring to Luce and Rep. Luce as Papa Luce Pickle and Capri cious Clara" Bilbo told the Sen ate:
 If this pair of Nigger-lovers had their way about it. they would de- feat 22 of my colleagues and my self"
 Bilbo said he thought it strange that six of the 10 Senators who achieved the Magazines approval are Republicans.
 Even Mortimer Snerd, of Edgar Bergen's radio show, would under stand from these percentages that the Tickle and capricious Clara and papa Luce are trying to wreck the Democratic majority on this floor" he said.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It didn't get in- to the papers, but President Tru- man sat down the other day with Secretary of the Treasury Fred Vinson and Democratic National Committee Vice-Chairman Dick Macy to discuss the Southern re- bellion against Bob Hannegan.
 Macy told Truman that the Southerners were up in arms over the last erroneous letter sent out of National Committee Headquarters and signed by Bob Hannegan, urg- ing Democratic leaders to pick good candidates this time.
 The letter was interpreted by Southerners as indicating a purge of all Democrats; so Macy told Truman that Dixie Democrats now wanted new letter from Hanne- gan endorsing all Democratic mem bers of Congress for reelection.
 Truman replied that he would agree to do no such thing. He said that if the Democratic National Committee endorsed all Democratic members of Congress, it would put Democrats who entered the pri- maries at a disadvantage. The President was thinking particularly of certain districts where Demo- crats may be booted out in the primaries by other Democrats who very much agree with the Truman program.
 Finally the President said:
 There will be no new letter. The National Committee has ad- mitted it's error. I am fully satis- fled that Bob Hannegan knows how to run his own affairs. I am going
