WEST COAST PORT TIEUp
 THREATENED
Walking Bosses Again Figure in Longshore
 Difficulties

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-tR- The threat of West Coast ship ping tie-up was posed today by the CIO longshoremen over the walking boss issue when the Taft Hartley labor act becomes effective Friday.
 The International Longshore- mems and Warehousemen's Union issued a statement saying the Pac- fife Coast Waterfront Employers Association has determined to or der all ship, dock and walking bosses out of the union under pain of discharge, or to require the union to expel them" when the act becomes effective.
 It warned that 'any International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems union members locked out because of union membership would establish picket lines which undoubtedly would be respected by longshoremen under the coast longshore agreement"
 Frank P Foisie, WEA president, said the employers have. decided nothing yet as to dismissal of any walking bosses. If there is any tieup it will be because of CIO longshore action" he added.
 "The union will not strike" the ILWU said None of our mem bers will quite their jobs, but we have been told they will be fired. They and the union stand ready to do anything possible to prevent a coast tieup, including arbitra- ton of all issues
 The walking bosses are striking the Luckenbach Steamship Go. for recognition of the ILWU as their bargaining agent, and have tied up six ships here.

ONCE FRIEND INDI(T5 RUSS
 IMPERIALISM
Secretary Hartman Grim Iy Warns of Atomic
 Retaliation Trump

SEATTLE, Aug. 19-lR-Soviet Russia had grim warning teddy from one of its former staunch friends, Commerce Secretary w. Averell Hartman, that the Democ racies of the world still hold the trump card of atomic retaliation against aggression.
 In an important policy speech cleared in advance by the State Department in Washington, the cabinet officer flatly declared last night that Soviet Imperialism" is a menace to the peace of the world.
 Then with grave and pointed em- phasis he said:
 Tn this atomic age there is no protection against retaliation by air. Our ability to launch an im- mediate strong aerial retaliation is the greatest possible deterrent against the use of military force by others"
 Harriman's publicly announced stand is a direct about face from his attitude at the time he was to Russia. Then he hoped cooperation with the Soviet Union would bring long period of peaceful readjustment after the Wartorn years.

RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR SUN-SIzzLED
 MIDWEST STATES
lBv The Assoclateo Pressl

(By The Associated PresS)
 From high up the Rocky Moun- tain slope another cold front was sliding lazily eastward toward the hot and parched midwest today with possible crop-reyiving rains.
 Its too early yet to say just how this cold push will act or how much rain it will bring" the Chicago Weather Bureau said, adding that a decided relief from the high 90 and 100 degree tenn peratuses appeared certainty for most of the plains states with in 48 hours.
 The forecaster said the cold air clossed into Montana and Idaho from Canada about midnight and it was expected to spread into the Dakotas by tonight, and into Min nesota and Nebraska by tomorrow.
 Within 48 hours. he added. the whole Great Lakes region should have temperatures at least Is de- grees under today's continued high readings.
 The accompanying rain, the bur- eau said, might turn out to be only scattered showers, but it might also-just possibly-be general drought breaker for consider able section of the north-central and northern plains states. Meanwhile, no relief was in sight for virtually all the remainder oi the nation, sweltering again from recurring hot blast that has spared generally only the Atlantic and Pacific Coast states.
 Throughout most of the region from the Appalachian to the Rocky Mountains, temperatures in the 90s or above appeared certain to be repeated today and tomorrow, tho weather bureau said.

EXPLOSION IN 5pAIN;DEATH
 TOTAL GREAT
Torpedo Plant Blast Wreeks Hospital, Orphan
 age, Residential Sector

CADIz, Spain, Aug. 13.--tR- More than 400 persons were esti- mated by newspapermen here to- day to have been killed and sev- eral thousand injured when a Spanish naval torpedo plant ex- ploded last night, wrecking res idential section, an orphanage, hospital and a factory.
 First estimates of damage were placed at S10,000,000
 The nearby residential district was wrecked.
 Resulting fires destroyed the Echevarrieta and Larrinaga ship yards.
 Buildings were damaged and windows shattered throughout this ancient port city of 80,000, which was left without water, electricity and railroad or highway commun- ications.
 No Clue Left to Cause
 So complete was the ruin of the Naval Arsenal, situated about two miles from central Cadiz, that no clue was left to the cause of the disaster
 The force of the explosion crack ed buildings in the heart of Cadiz street cars were derailed, and the huge doors of the Cadez catke- dral were torn from their hinges.
 The explosion came at 10 p. m. last night.
 Summer Cclony Hard Hit
 The heaviest casualties and dam age were believed in the summer colony and residential district of San Severiano, which is near the submarine naval base in the neck of the marrow peninsula.
 Spanish authorities announced no estimate of the casualties. Re- porters said most of the injured they saw had been cut by flying glass or were bruised by falling debris
 The Jerez de La Frontera radio station, Is miles to the north, broadcast appeals throughout the night for doctors, nurses and medi- cineS.
 Ambulances Called Frcm Far
 Ambulances and rescue teams were arriving from as far east as Malaga, west from Huelva, and noith from Sevilla.
 The population of the San Sev- eriano district, which received the full force of the explosion, was about equally divided between sum- mer vacation transients and work CTS.
 Many prominent persons who live in chalets along the peninsula coast were expected to tc among the injured
 Eduardo Calleja de La Cuesta, president of the Council of lA.te, was reported injured slightly.
 Some of the costliest damage was expected at the Echevarrieta shipyards. The new naval training ship, Juan de Austria, which was about ready for launching, was destroyed by fire. Many smaller boats also burned.

PRICE pACTS CHARGED TO
 TIRE MAKERS
Goodyear Head Terms Conspiracy Allegation as
 Utierly preposferous

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-tR-Fed- eral charges that makers Of 90 per cent of the nations tires have conspired for 12 years to fix prices will be fought to the limit, said E. J. Thomas President of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Go.
 The criminal complaint naming 19 defendants was filed late yes terday in Federal District Court for the southern district of New York. It quickly brought denials from the tiremakers, who said that tire prices now are at CT below pre-War levels.
 The action, Thomas said, seems utterly preposterous."
 William O'Neil, President Of General Tire & Rubber Co.,, said that tires are selling "A percent below pre-war levels and the suit just doesn't make sense"
 "On the basis of present living costs as compared With l94l, the price of tires is down almost 54 percent" ONeil said.
 The civil suit charged that Motion Picture Corp, and Eastman Kodak Co.,, ccnspired to give Technicolor conopoly on the processing of Kodak's col or film. The suit directs cancel lation of their contract and re- lease of the process to the whole on a royalty free basis.
 Neither Technieolor nor Kodak made any comment on the sniu.

 WASHINGTON = The Washing ton Merry -Go-Round today re- reats one of it's oldest and most gratifying practices.
 It bestows it's brass ring for dis tinguished, enlightened and cour- ageous service.
 TheS honor goes to a group of working newspaper men.
 These members of the working press are not big name" person. alities in the usual sense of that word. Some are syndicated. But except for their bylines, none are widely known personally to their readers. They are not that kind of neWsmen.
 They don't make news; they re- port it = honestly, courageouSly tenaciously, and with outstanding skill and understanding.
 To their readers, the bylines of these newsmen are an unfailing trade mark of integrity and relia- bility.
 There are many other newsmen like them all over the U. s. Men and women who, day in and day out, quietly and modestly fight the good fight to get the news and to print it. That's why the working press of the U. s. is the finest in the world. Also, why 1t is one of the greatest glories of our country.
 Occasionally, one of these "un- knowns" wins momentary public recognition for some particularly outstanding feat. But the great majority of them, like doughboyS in the lines, slug it out doggedly and valiantly day after day witf no other acclaim than the inner
