In New York Averted:;
80 Lines Still Tied Up
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 18.-Threat-
ened extension of the city's five
day-old bus strike to the big Third
Avenue Transit System has been
averted. but a Walkout on 80 lines
with 1,125,000 daily riders con-
tinued today.
A strike against the Third Ave-
nue. system, which had been
threatened for 3 A. M. tomorrow,
would have affected 100000 ad-
ditional daily passengers.
Mayor William ODWyer an
nounced last night that the threat
against the Third Avenue system
had been removed. The mayor
said the walkout was averted when
the company's three trustees in
bankruptcy and President Michael
j. Quill of the CIO Transport
Workers Union agreed to attend a
contract negotiation conference
July 25.
Two Companies Struck.
The New York City Omnibus
Corp. and the Fifth Avenue Coach
Co., jointly owned, have been shut
down by a strike since last Thurs
day. The strike was touched of
by the dropping of four union
mechanics, which followed other
union complaints.
The Mayor accused the two
struck companies and the union
of courageous contempt-on both
sides-of the comfort and con-
venience of the travelling public
in permitting the strike.
Mayor O'DWyer. who cut short
a trip to Mexico City and flew
home yesterday. said he did so
because of the threat of a walk
out on the Third Avenue system,
the city's largest privately owned
transit unit.
Runs IS Bus, Trolley Routes.
The system operates rs bus and
trolley routes in Manhattan, the
Bronx and lower Westchester
County.
Mr.. Quill had said he was going
to ask the union Executive Com
mittee to vote a strike against the
Third Avenue system. Mr.. Quill S
strike threat demanded speedy
payment of $1.100.O00 in back
wages due to employees.
Some time before the Third
Avenue strike threat was lifted,
Mr.. Quill had indicated the union
also was considering the posi-
bility of ordering a showdown on
the CITY, owned subway system in
support of the strike.

As Discriminatory

Proposed Federal aid to educa-

tending religious schools, as we'll
as those in public classes, Repre-
sentative Fogarty. Democrat, of
Rhode Island, said last night in a
radio talk over Station WWDC.
Criticizing the bill by Repre-
sentative Barden, Democrat. of
North Carolina, he said the Bar
den bill would limit Federal aid
to public schools only. Arguing for
his own measure, which would
broaden the legislation to include
|nonpublic schools, Mr. Fogarty de-
clared the Barden bill is discrim-
inatory. He compared it to other
forms of discrimination. assert
ing:
In principle I am opposed to
Jim Crow streetcars, GENTLE only
beaches and public-school- only
busseS."
mo Congressman may close his
eyes to the fact that large num-
ber of American children attend
religious schools" Mr.. Fogarty
said, adding that it would be dis
criminatory to force a child to
transfer from a nonpublic school
to a public school as a condition
for receiving the benefits of Fed
eral aid funds allocated on his
behalf"
High Catholic officials have at
tackled the Barden measure as
"un-American." Mr.. Barden con-
tends the opposition to his bill is
from those who want to destroy
the principle of separation of

has delegates from 26 Nations,
Gov. Dewey said this convention
would be immensely valuable if it
served no other purpose than to
demonstrate on grand scale how
the nations of the world ought to
work together in harmony for
peace and progress.
Gov. Dewey said the United
States and nations CT non-com-
munist Europe "have learned a
good many things about working
together" and added:
In the political and military
area we have the Rio treaty of
mutual defense for the Americas
and at this moment, the Senate
is debating the North Atlantic
Treaty. Many arguments have
been made against it but over
shadowing all of them is one SIM
pie fact: with or without a treaty
we are tied together not only by
bonds of sentiment but by the
sheer necessity of self-preserva-
tion-we are tied together with
the small and gallant band of
free peoples who are resisting the
communist menace.
Keep Peace by Strength.
1--WE cannot keep the peace by
denying that there are those who
would destroy it. We know they
exist. We can only keep the
peace by being strong and united
with peace-loving countries. If
there is one lesson in the history
of the world it is that aggressors
start wars when they think they
can win against weak or disunited
peoples. They do not start wars
against powerful people which
they expect to lose"

20. The atom bomb will not de-
stroy civilization.
"3. The atom bomb is a major
deterrent to war; but it will not re-
tain this distinction indefinitely.
a. The atom bomb is an i'm
mensely potent engine of destruc-
ton; but it is not the absolute
weapon of decision.
"It is for this last reason" he
said, that the United States is
