 The Hierarchy said the priests ,ould accept their salaries from the state and take a state oath of loyalty. This is reversal of the Iierarchy's previous position in de- fense of which reported 300 priests have gone to jail.

BIG COAST LABOR CASE
 BROUGHT UP
NLRB Brings Ch drges Against Union, Assoeid-
 lion, Three S.S. Lines

SEATTLE. Oct. 25-tR-A CIO maritime union, an employers asso- citation and three steamship com panies were the target of com- plaint issued today by the National Lahor Relations Board charging discriminatory unfair labor prac- tices.
 The complaint was the result of investigations of charges brought by Don L. Rotan, organizer for. the Pacific Marine Stewards Union (AFL), and three other stewards.
 The regional director of the NLR.B.. Thomas P. Graham, Jrr set hearing on the complaint for Nov. 29.
 Defendants in the action are the Marine Cooks & Stewards Union (CIO), the Pacific Maritime Associ- ation, employers group. and the Alaska Steamship Company, the American Mail Line and Pope & Talbot, Inc.
 The complaint stems from a con- tract entered into by the firms and the CIO union Dec. 2, 1948, which delegated the responsibility to the CIO group for selecting personnel.
 The AFL group claims that the contract is illegally discriminatory against them and tends to coerce their membership into joining the rival union.

4 MILES FROM
 ATOMIC BLAST
 YOU'LL BE OK

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25.--tR-- You do have chance against the atomic bomb--if you are at least half mile away from the explosion.
 Mai. Alhert |. Bauer. of the U. s. Army Surgeon Generals office says if you're four miles away when the bomb goes off. your chances of escaping without injury arc al- most perfect.
 But from four miles in toward the center, the safety percentages drop off sharply From a half mile out. to mile and "a half from the atomic blast, it is about 5o-50 that you will come out alive. In the half-mile inner circle, there will be almost complete destruc- tion" with deaths very close to 100 percent" Bauer says.
 By Associated Press
 Bauer prepared this report with Capt. John R. Hogness of the U. 5. Army Medical Center for presen- tation today before the 18th Inter- national Congress of Military Med icine and Pharmacy meeting here. Military medical officers from 28 nations are attending the Congress.
 Easing their findings on the atomic explosions at Hiroshima. Nagasaki and Bikini. the two army medical men described the effect ] of an atomic blast and how to de- lend city against it.
 Agreeing that the atomic bomb is truly fearful and extremely destructive weapon" the report em- phasizes that the public must rea- lize "an atomic explosion is not I the end for all concerned Bauer and Hogness regard wide- spread fire and severe burns as the greatest hazards of the bomb. The l intense flash of the blast sends out heat waves that can ignite in- flammable materials mile and a half away
 What to do about bomb at- tack? Bauer and Hogness recom- mend preparedness measures not much different from these for any other kind of bombing.

 OF COAL
 IS ACUTE
Thousands Will Be Unable 10 Heat Homes-AppeaI
 Made 10 President
By Associated Press

Soft coal retailers said today that thousands of people in hund- reds of cities are unable to buy fuel for home heating.
 They urged President Truman to act immediately to end the coal strike, they said the coal "emer- gency" is greater than that in the steel strike.
 A strongly worded telegram, dis patched to the President by J. At lee Schafer, President of the Ameri- can Retail Coal Association. de- clared that "A national emergency in the bituminous coal consuming area exists right now" and if the government fails to take immed- fate effective action to end the strike, tragic consequences for the people of the United States" will follow.
 Cyrus s. Ching, top government mediator in the steel and coal strikes, made a 45-minute report on the labor crisis to the White House.
 Ching talked with John R. Steel man, the Presidents assistant. Steelman was to convey it to MT. Truman personally.
 The word at the White House was that the President still had no plans to intervene in the dis putes.
 Until now, MT. Truman has left the matters in Ching's hands for mediation.
 Meanwhile, within ranks of the CIO, there were developments in the struggle over the majority's Communist policy.
 At Cleveland, the CIO Executive Board met to decide what should be done about 100000 members of 12 unions whose leadership has defied orders aimed at stamping out leftist influence.
 There has been talk of expulsion of the dissident unions, but their membership is approximately one sixth of the entire CIO fold.
 In New York, charges were aired that the n-conformist CIO un- ions were making ready to form a new Communist-dominated feder- ation. This declaration, by Peter Aversa, President of District Six, CIO Farm Equipment Workers, was made in an affidavit to the New York Supreme Court.
 Justice Julius Miller ordered a hearing Friday to determine whe- ther referendum of the FEE mem- bership approving merger with the CIO United Electrical Workers Un- ion should be voided. Both unions are led by officials in official CIO diSfavor
