The Government was hopeful
today that the Nations three

posal for a fact-finding investiga-
ton OF their dispute with the CIC
and thereby avert strike set fol

today. While it could not be

The White House said today
that Mr.. Truman will set up the

Surely you are not afraid to
have your side of this dispute
examined in the public interest.
Mr.. Truman told the three COM

Hit by Transit Strike
Protesting DismissaIs
NeorIy Million Riders
Affected: Union Bocks
WoIkout Of 35c Men
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 14.-C1C
transit workers struck suddenly
today against all 81 lines OF the
New York City Omnibus Corp
The lines carry an estimated 925.-
900 passengers daily.
The walkout was called by the
CIO Transport Workers Union
eight hours after $50 maintenance
workers quit work at one OF the
company garages in protest against
the dismissal of four employees.
The company termed the initial
walkout unauthorized but the big
union quickly announced that IT
would support the strike.
At the same time. Michael j
Quill, president of TWU. said that
the stoppage would be extended
to the Fifth Avenue Coach Corp
at midnight tonight If the dispute
with the Omnibus Corp. is not
settled by then.
The two companies have joint
ownerships. The Fifth Avenue
line hauls some 100000 daily
riders.
Deadline Moved Up.
Earlier Mr.. Quill had fixed the
midnight deadline for the spread
of the strike to all of the 81 omni'
bus lines. Six of the lines already
had been shutdown by the walkout
from the company garage.
The deadline, however. was
moved up to noon today. Mr.. Quill
said the change in the strike time
was made because the Omnibus
Corp. had violated its contract.
He also accused the company OF
changing working schedules with
out consulting first with the union.
The company described the un-
ions strike action as "a fragrant
violation" of an agreement under
which all disputes were to be re-
ferred to Theodore w. Kheel, the
city's impartial chairman for the
transit industry.
Says Men Were Laid Off.
Edmund C.. Collins. vice presi-
dent of the company. said that
the four dismissed employees "were
not discharged. but were laid of
because of economic conditions.
They were laid off, he said. with
the understanding that should the
company need additional me-
chanics they would be given pref.
erence in the order Of theil
seniority. -
In any event. Mr.. Collins
said, "if the union felt that II
had a grievance here it shoul6

agreed. The company feels thai

ROME, July 1.-THE Pope'f
accommodation Of Communists
stung the Communist-controlled
press of Europe to violent reaction
today.
The Vatican disclosed last night
that Pope Plus XII has cut of
from the sacraments and comforts
of the faith all Roman Catholics
who make profession Of the mate
rialistic and anti-Christian doc
trine of the Communists"
The action was . stern warning
that the church will not COM
promise with communism.
II Paese, Communist-line news
paper in Rome. called the decree
AN act of hatred" and the official
Italian Communist newspaper
L'Unita, said the order crowns q
violent provocatory campaign OF
the Holy See against Catholics
who do not intend to submit to Its
political directives.
Telling Effect Seen.
Italy is an overwhelmingly Cath.
olic country in which the Commu-
nists officially number more thar
2, ,000, 900, and the papal decree
could have a telling effect here.
The Communists have swung
S 600, 900 votes in the postwar elec-
tions in France. also a predomi-
nantly Catholic country. where
the warning of the Pope to the
faithful to avoid exposing them
selves to Communist doctrines
and writings, also could have
heavy effect.
The concern the Communists
apparently feel in France is re-
fected in the official French Com
munist newspaper L'Humanite. In
an angry attack on the Vatican
the newspaper termed the decree
pure totalitarianism."
L'Humanite said 1t would be
impossible ito violate more directly
the freedom of thought of men ir
domain that is political, not
religious"
Last Warning Seen.
The decree, announced by the
Sacred Congregation of the Holy
Office-which is in charge Of pro-
tecting the faith-and approved
by the Pontiff, is interpreted BY
informed Vatican sources to be q
last warning to Catholics vino may
be leaning toward communism.
The decree marks the fourth
time the Pope has used excom-
munication to fight back at the
Communists in recent years.
