Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) while only the first disruptive ef- fleets of threatened shipping paralysis were being felt, was pre- dicted by a labor department trou- ble shooter.
 ''I may be an incurable optimist but I anticipate a settlement be- tween the two unions (the radio operators and the cooks-stewards) and the employers to result from this mornings meeting" said Ma than Feinsinger.
 He arrived only yesterday from Washington. He wound up his first day of efforts by saying that his toughest problem appeared solved.
 This was to get the marine cooks and stewards and the ship owners, to come to terms. Without announcing the details, Feinsinger said last night this virtually was accomplished.
 This union yesterday gave the west coast its first taste of pos sible shipping tieup by refusing to sign sailing papers, in the absence of contract to replace the one expired June Is. As consequence 10 ships scheduled to leave for such points as Yokohama, Alaska and Honolulu, stayed in port at Vancouver, Wash, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles-Long Beach.

Thomas Questions Wallace On His Communist Views

NEW YORK, (P) - Socialist leader Norman Thomas asked Henry A. Wallace today n m open letter: Do you reject the theory that Communist. 'otalitar- ianism, using the Red army and its other army the International Communist movement. is relen.- lessly, patiently and boldly seek ing world power?' .
 Writing as chairman of the Pos War World Council, Thomas con- tinued in a letter he made public:
 "If you reject this theory. on what grounds do you explain the Russian tactics in Korea, Man churia the Balkans, Hungary, Austria and. Germany-or the Communist policies throughout the World?"
 Thomas, commenting on the for mer vice-president's speech in Washington Monday night, told him, with a great many of your specific proposals and with your estimate of the value of a third party but not if it is Communist controlled, I am in agreement. Emphatically, I agree that peace must be sought boldly on better lines than the Truman admins tration is now following"
 "But have grave doubts about your own program for peace, y Thomas declared, adding that Wallace might possibly. remove some of the doubts by answering his questions. The New Republic magazine, which Wallace edits, said the letter had been received but Wallace had not seen it.

Commuters Travel
IA Miles in 70 Hours
|0n Snowbound Train
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 27-Residents
of Long Island had enough material
tonight for umpteen versions of the
long voyage home.
Hundreds of commuters from
nearby Nassau and Suffolk Coun-
ties regaled families and friends
with tales of the last train for Port
Washington, the train that never
got to Flushing, or the 14-hour
20-mile trip to Long Beach
The saga of the o'clock train for
Long Beach is perhaps the most
striking illustration of the record
snowstorm's crippling effect on the
Long Island Railroad.
The 5 o'clock took four hours to
negotiate the 15-minute run to ia
maica and two hours more to Laur-
elton. There it stalled.
Passengers blowing the train
whistle attracted hook and ladder
company but after brief survey
of the situation the f1remen re-
turned to their station without Sc
much as unloading a ladder.
Men risked elecTocution to cross
the icy tracks and return with milk
and crackers for the children.
A train heading back to New York
finally was switched over and
pushed the o'clock to Long Beach
arriving at 7 o'clock-the next
day.
The last train for Port Washing
ton left Pennsylvania Station al
3:42 pm. yesterday but never got
there, giving up the struggle al
Great Neck at 9.45.
It moved so fast that one pas
senger got off at Flushing anc
walked three miles to Broadway
two stations ahead, where he
boarded the same train.
Traveller Shares Bread.
On a train that left New York
at 4:2O and was stalled at Forest
Hills at 2 am, a man carrying two
loaves of bread passed them around
to his fellow travellers.

night bound for Flushing, 20

blocks of the station at 8 O'Clock
this morning.
Other Long Island Railroad trains
were reported stalled at various
points on the island.
| Long Island commuters weren't
the only ones who had their troubles
getting home, however.

north somehow got switched to local

finally being towed by engines
which picked up stalled locals as
we'll.
Several gallant gentlemen left the
train as it was halted at various
points and brought back refresh
ments for the ladies.
One traveller was silent for the
first seven and half hours, but
when his nerves reached the shat
tering point he whipped bottle of
whisky out from under his coat and
gently inquired, Would any one
like a drink"
Ten passengers were stranded
overnight for II hours in bus
caught in a snowdrift on Storm
