Worker Ccro) remained on strike for the second day at II plants of the International Har- vester Co.
 8. Union and management of- ficials met with government con- ciliators in Washington in an at- tempt to avert a threatened strike of 100000 shipyard workers,
 Washington officials were repor- ted drafting legal procedure for seizure of the strikebound packing houses to prevent @ meat famine and halt revival of black markets.
 A possible alternative was an ap- peal to striking meat workers to return to work under promises of wage increases financed by higher prices on top quality and luxury grade meats. Supporters of the plan said it would aid packers in meet ing wage boosts but would not .in- crease the cost of meat to low in' come groups.
 Seizure still had not been con- sidered seriously for the steel in dustry, and many of MT. Truman's advisers were hopeful that the U. D. Steel Corp. would decide to accept his suggested wage increase of IS l-2 cents an hour.
 The strikebound General Motors Corp, ignored 8 midnight deadline imposed by the CIO auto workers for acceptance of i9 1-2 cents an hour pay increase. The union, 4a.o,.n,,v1a,a o,,yo,,,,oad if had rp- verted to its original 30 per cent demand.
 In New York, a city-wide transit strike was averted sThen Mayor William O'Dwyer announced he would not sell three city power plants without approval of the voters. CIO transport workers had threatened strike action if the plants were sold to the Consolida. ted Edison Go. without public vote.

Your sincere desire to assist in every way possible in securing an early termination of this dispute is highly appreciated"
 The three board members are Nathan P. Feinsinger, Judge James M. Douglas and Judge Roger I. Mo- Donough.
 To Stay At Figure
 Inasmuch Gs Mir. Truman has already recommended settlement of the steel dispute by a wage increase Of 1872 cents an hour, it appeared unlikely that the board would take action leading to any other figure.
 Ross knew of no developments in the steel dispute. Asked whether seizure was being considered in this case, Ross said. T cannot say what is being considered"
 He said nothing had been heard from Benjamin P. Fairless. presi- dent of U. s. Steel Corporation since Fairless rejected the Presi- dents proposed settlement.
 Queried On Strike Breakers
 4 reporter asked Ross whether the White House had received any evidence of "a combine by the Euto and steel industries to bust the unions"
 Ross said that he did not know whether any such evidence had bNRn received and that he nRrSon- ally. had not received any such evidence.
 The administration was deter mined to take over the Idle pack inghouses if 1t seemed the only way to avert a national meat famine and choke off a growing black mar ket.

About 100 workers are involved in the dispute.
 John J. Driscoll, State CTO sec- retary, prepared to go into another conference with management of the Chase Brass and Copper Company this afternoon, but said the wage question did not come up at yester- days session and is not expected to be taken up today.
 The CTO official said the Chase conferences were over other con- tractual matters.
 A meeting has been set for tomor- row with Scovill management, and another one for Monday at the American Brass Company.
 Wage demands form the principal disputed issues at all of the brass plants. Other contract considera- tion are also under negotiation at several of them. At the American Brass Company the compensatory bonus issue remains a major one.

kCOnLlDueQ IEOm Page lJ sembly held a short session to hear De Gaulle's letter of resignation, addressed to and read by Gouin.
 Then 1t adjourned until 3 p. m. tomorrow. In the interim the poli- tical parties will continue the fight to resolve their differences and name a man who can swing the support of the Big Three parties.
 GOuin May Change
 Political observers saw three pos sible solutions of the deadlock. Gouin might change his mind and accept the leadership. But his friends doubted 1t. The Socialists might propose some other candi- da 3, such as Andre Philipp. The veteran Edouard Herriot might try to form a government of Repun- iean solidarity"
 At the moment the observers saw no conclusive sign that any of the possible solutions was likely to suc- ceed. although those prospects were the best in sight.
 For a time 1t had seemed that the parties might agree on Vincent Au- riol, right wing Socialist and former finance minister, as a compromise choice. The Communists proposed Gouin. He declined. The Socialists proposed Auriol instead. The Com munists rejected his name.

 One of the lightest harvest years was lo43, the service said, but the crop that season was 3,T65 900 bush- els. Destructive spring freezes, a May snowstorm, unfavorable polli- nation weather combined with rainy months that favored spread of dis- ease was responsible for the poor crop, it was said.

One Good Leg and A Lions Heart

Automobile racing being the eheap-life thrill-sport that 1t is, where every driver insists on thumb ing his nose at the Old Guy with the sickle and hour-glaSS, one would assume that two sharp eyes, a very level head, and a strong pair of hands and legs are the least that any man would need to challenge Fate every time he goes on an auto race-tgack. Yet, there's Freeport Bill Schlinder, eastern midget-auto rac- ing champion in l945, who has but one leg plus the heart of a lion, which prompted him to continue in his dangerous sport, three months after losing leg in a near-fatal ac- cident at Mineola fair grounds in the spring of 1887. He also has won the indoor championship at N. Y. Coliseum and has set many race and track marks along the eastern circuit. Beaten last October by a broken oil line in a three-car finish during . race which showed ll5 miles per hour speed at times: Schindler is back at the same old stand, and will be in the 50 lap race of champions" May 5th at the Thompson (Conn) Speedway. Among his many accomplishments and honors, Bill is also president of the powerful American Racing Drivers club.
