Unauthorized Strike
OF Switchmen Snar|s
Rail Yards
Army Charges WoIkout
Directly Hurts U. S.
War Effort in Korea
BY the Associoied Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-A sudden.
unauthorized strike by yard
switchmen today tied up much
freight traffic in Chicago's vast
railroad yards, slowing many war
shipments.
The Army said in Washington
the strike directly hurts our war
effort in Korea during this critical
time" 1t said it will take all
necessary steps to restore normal
service.
A spokesman for the railroads
said the tieup was incomplete
but serious. 1t affected many in
portant lines operating in Chi
cago, the largest railroad center
in the world.
Chicago is served by % class
one railroads and 16 switching
and terminal companies. The area
has 1900 miles of trackage, 206
freight yards, and a capacity of
nearly 250,000 railroad cars.
Called Serious Threat.
An industry spokesman said the
Walkout was an attempt to force
settlement of a Wage-hours dis
pute before any wage freeze OF

A spokesmen for the Western
Association of Railroads said the
strike was a serious threat tc

and mail traffic swollen by the
war emergency and the Christ

He added, however, that the
traffic tieup is far from COM

Only 3,6 per cent of the build
ings in Washington can be con-
sidered relatively resistant to fires
that would be caused by a heavy

Defense Administration said to-
day.
The figure is contained in a

Governors as background infor-
nation in planning their civil

The report said fires, which

be the greatest hazard in case of
an attack on the United States.

would take place.

mittee making the plans con-
sidered the possibility of a hydro
gen bomb attack. He said it had
in mind also an atomic bomb two
or three times the force of that
dropped on Nagasaki. Japan.
1--WE believe it is prudent to
provide for deterioration in the
international situation" he said.
In discussing the capabilities
of a defense system he said it is
the Air Forces opinion that no
such system, no matter how we'll
developed, can stop determined
air attack.
He said that geographically
Washington, with no hills divid-
ing its area, is susceptive to atomic
bomb attack.
From the military point of view,
he said. dispersal is a good means
of passive defense and would
assure that no single missile would
wipe out a concentration of neces-
sary functions.
Meanwhile, Chairman Chevez
of the committee said he favored
moving certain agencies from
Washington as soon as possible to
make space for additional en-
ployes who will need homes here.
He said there seemed to be no
reason why such agencies as the
Indian Bureau, the Reclamation
Bureau and the National Park
Service might not just as we'll be
in those parts of the country
where most of their work lies.
This dispersal plan is distinct
from the plan to decentralize,
which means moving agencies
permanently to distant cities.

Truman Delays Action
On Emergency Order
After Bi-party Farley
6. O. P. Wonts Additional
Details on Need Before
Approving Proclamation
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today told
congressional leaders in a two
hour White House conference
THAT he was considering the dec
laration of national emergency
as a prelude to speeding up the
defense preparations of this Ma
tion and the rest Of the free world
against Communist aggression.
The President said that final
decisions would await further
talks.
Republicans Immediately count
cred with an assertion through
their principal spokesman, Chair
man Taft of the Republican Sen
atorial Policy Committee that
they were not ready to take
final position" on this question
until more light was thrown on
the need for the emergency proc
lamation and what it will entail.
Senator Taft, said, however. the
Republicans were fully agreed that
"a dangerous emergency" exists
for the American people and that
they are behind the Presidents
program for building up armed
might as quickly as possible.
Taft Gives Qualified Approval.
Senator Taft said if the declara-
ton is needed to strengthen the
armed forces he is for it.
The imposition of wage and
price controls figured in today's'
talk. There was no direct word
from the conferees on prospects
for those curbs. Senate Majority
Leader Lucas said:
II think I'd rather leave that
to the Presidents speech Friday
night"
The President goes on the air at
1920 pm. Friday to tell the people
what is in store in the long
period Of tension" which he de-
clares the Nation faces as a result
of the Red threat.
Other Conferences Scheduled.
/ In further exploration of the
posSibl4ity of declaring a state of
national emergency, the President
tomorrow will talk to another
group of Congressman. He will
bring in members of the Senate
and House Banking and Currency
Committees which handle control
legislation and with them his prin-
cipal economic advisers.
The declaration of a national
emergency, it has been said,
would have only limited effect,
because of the vast powers al
ready at the Presidents disposal.
1t would serve to speed up the
production machinery and also, it
is believed in some quarters, have
good psychological effect on the
country.
For today's meeting the Presi-
dent brought in Senate and House
leaders. both Republicans and
Democrats; and the chairmen and
ranking members of Senate and
House, Foreign, Armed Services

LAKE SUCCESS. Dec. 13.-
Russia today rejected an Asian
Arab plan for a Korean cease
fire, on the ground that the

Nations delegates for acceptance
of the 13nation peace plan by the
Chinese Communists, who adhere
closely to Soviet policy.
Mr.. Malik insisted there can
be no peace in Korea until all
U. N. troops are withdrawn.
My delegation objects to and
will vote against the draft reso-
luton before the committee" Mr.
Malik said. I'VE will object to
the adoption of any resolution
which has implicit in it the main

Korea"
Sponsors Motives Not Questioned.
Mr.. Malik spoke before the
Political Committee of the United

sidering the Asian Arab proposal
for a three-man group to work
out a cease-flre arrangement.
He told the committee he did
not question the motives of the
sponsoring countries. but that it
was clear the United States and
Britain were interested only in
stopping the fighting and not in
solving outstanding Asian prob
lens.
Mr.. Malik then asked:
Isn't the proposal for a cease
fire hypocritical attempt to get
breathing spell so they can get
their broken ranks together and
continue their intervention in
Korea?"
The Soviet delegates declara-
ton was taken as an indication
that Communist China probably

Evacuation Orderly.
The evacuation began two days

the mounting Chinese threat.
The withdrawal from Hungnam

Allied artillery, mortars and tank
