Boeing Strike Ruled Illegal

NGTON, (P) - The United States court of appeals yesterday ruled that strike of Boeing Aircraft company employ eeS at Seattle last year was illegal. It also threw out the Machinists' Lodge 751 as bargaining agent for the firms 14,500 workers there.
 The action over-ruled a nation al labor relations board order that the Walkout was conducted under provisions of the Taft-Hartley act and that the union is the legal col lective bargaining agent for Boe- ing workers.
 The group involved is the aero nautical association of machinists.
 The three-judge appeals court held unanimously that the union acted unlaWfully in not giving Boeing sufficient notice of intent to strike. The court also asserted the walkout, which occurred April 25, l948, was in violation of then-effective contract between the union and company.

He also asked FBI and security reports on an unnamed number of persons.
 Hickenlooper fired this demand when the Senate-House atomic committee opened hearings on his charge that there has been incred- ible mismanagement" of the atom ic energy commission under the chairmanship of David E. Lilien- thai.
 Among other things, Hicken- looper asked the minutes of the commissions meetings and it's records of overtime pay to per sonnel in the headquarters office.
 Lilienthal sat impassively while the Senator ticked off l4-point list of material he wants. He gave no immediate indication whether or not the commission would at tempt to comply with the request.
 Lilienthal has called Hicken- looper'S charges an 'un-Amerl- can" effort to smear" the com mission. He also has declared that the atomic project was "bogged down" when the civilian commiS- sion took it over from the army in l946 and now is really roll ing"

Fire Marshal B|ames
Spark From Starter
For Boat Explosion

The explosion that wrecked the
cabin cruiser Halcyon and took
the lives of an Army general and
former Navy commodore Sunday
was touched off when the 23-year-
old skipper pressed the starter
the fire marshal's Office disclosed
| today.
Thomas L. Miller. hired to run
the 36-foot boat for the one-day
excursion, unwittingly created the
spark that ignited gasoline fumes
in the bilge. according to Acting
Fire Marshall r. A. Warfield.
In a statement obtained from
Mr.. Miller, Marshal Warfleld said
the young skipper declared:
The blast was simultaneous
with the moment I stepped on
the starter.
The boat had just taken on Is
to 80 gallons of gasoline, a little
less tran half the tank capacity
when the explosion blasted it out
of the water. Previously it had
been said only nine gallons had
been taken on.
Mr.. Miller is in serious condi-
ton with face burns at Casualty
Hospital. The blast killed Mai.
Gen. Vernon E. Prichard. chief OF
Army public relations and one
time West Point football star. and
former Commodore Wilfred l..
Painter.
Three Others Injured.
Two others were injured criti-
cally and one seriously.
The guests. invited for the Sum
day outing by Attorney Henry A.
Dudley, included former Ambas-
sador and Mrs. Anthony j. Drexel
Biddle.
Attorney Boiling Powell, jr..
owner of the boat. who was in
Bermuda when the blast occurred,
said earlier he understood the re-
fuelling was unnecessary because
only nine gallons were taken on
at the dock. He also said Mr..
Dudley told him no attempt was
made to press the starter.
Marshal Warfield's investigation.
however, revealed today that Is
to 80 gallons of so-called white
gasoline were taken into the
Halcyon's two tanks. Mr.. Miller
did press the starter. the marshal
declared. Witnesses on the dock
earlier had told Fire Department
investigators that several attempts
had been made to start the engine
Contributed to Blast.
/ This much seems certain. Mr.
Warfeld said: The refuelling con-
tributed to the explosion. There
would have been no vapors if the
added gasoline had not been
pumped on board, he said. Other
wise. the Halcyon would have ex-
ploded when it's engine was started
the first time to move it from its
berth to the refuelling dock.
The Halcyon exploded at the
pier of the Corinthian Yacht Club
Second and v streets S.W.
Mr.. Warfield said attempts will
be made at pm. today to raise
the burned and blasted cabin
cruiser. He said he intends to in
spect the wreckage when the boat
is brought up from the channel
bottom.
Mr.. Warf1eld said the Fire De-
partment's investigation is COM
pleted unless new information de-
velops. The three-man Coast
Guard Investigating Board still is
working on the case.
