Rail Union Leaders
DispIeased With PACT
For Railroad Peace
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 27.-Heads
OF four railroad operating unions
have called in their general chair
men to consider a three-year
peace pact with the railroads.
Spokesman for two unions ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the
plan. and all four were planning
to let the chairmen make their
own decisions.
James P. Shields. grand CHIEF
engineer of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, said he
was mot very we'll satisfied" and
a spokesman for the Order Of
Railway Conductors declared,
We're not satisfied with the
peace pact either"
The settlement, granting wage
increases and other benefits to
about 100000 workers, was an
nounced last Friday at the White
House. Heads of the four unions
initiated the agreement.
Under Government Control.
Mr.. Shields said it was made
plain then to John r. Steelman.
presidential assistant. that final
consideration of the plan was up
to the union chairmen on each of
the railroads.
David B. Robertson, president
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginmen, said, II
have no opinions to express on the
subject. When you're under Gov
eminent control you take what
the Government gives YOU"
The reference was to the fact
the Government took over opera
ton of the lines last summer to
avert threat Of general strike.
One Won't Comment.
w. P. Kennedy, president oi
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, said in Minneapolis he
would have mo comment" unit
his unions general chairmen meet
here January 4.
The firemen also will hold 9
meeting here January 4. Robert.
son said he would make no rec.
ommendation to his group.
About 125 general chairmen oi
the engineers union will convene
their session here tomorrow. The
conductors will meet in st. Loui.
on January 7.
Mr.. Shields likewise said hi
would make no recommendation
for acceptance or rejection.
THE chairmen are perfectly
able to analyze this" he said
They'll decide whether to accept
or reject it"
The agreement, announced last
Friday by tre White House, woulc
raise the wages of about 100000
engineers, f1remen, conductors ane
trainmen, retroactive to October
/. A railroad official estimated
the agreement would cost the
roads $131 million a year.
Doesn't Like Moratorium.
I'm not very we'll satisfied with
the agreement" Mr.. Shields tolc
a reporter. 1--WE don't like thu
three-year moratorium on further
wage movements. And there art
not sufficient increases for roao
engineers.
For about 100000 road service
workers, the settlement called fol
retroactive increase of cents
an hour. and another cents or
January l. For about 10000
yardmen, the retroactive increase
was % cents. with another 2 cents
on January /. In each case, ar
additional provision was for g
cost-of- living adjustment as con-
sumer prices rise or fall.
At Cedar Rapids, Iowa. an au-
thorized spokesman for the Order
of Railway Conductors said Were
not satisfied with the peace pact
either and we've called a meeting
of our chairmen at st. Louis or
January 7 for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether to accept it." The
spokesman said about rs ORC
chairmen would be present.

Watch Found in Abbey
Possible Clue in Theft
OF Stone OF Scone
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associofed Press
LONDON. Dec. 27.-Scotland
Yard detectives today sought the
owner of a wrist watch. possible
club to the husky snatcllers who
took the historic Stone of Scone
from Westminster Abbey Christ

Police appealed for identifica-
ton of the Swiss-made9Watch. II

ereignty for more than / 200 years
was dragged.
The stainless steel timepiece
had an old brown leather strap
and yellow metal buckle.
Scotland Yard investigators also
sought witnesses who may have
seen a man and woman with a
small car N the vicinity Of the
Abbey just before dawn Christ
mas.
Scottish Patriots Suspected.
The weight-lifting culprits are
believed to be Scottish patriots
who staged their bold and arduous
venture spurred by the dreams OF
the independence Scotland lost in
the union Of 1707.
With the stone believed still
south of the border. police con-
tinued to block all north-bound
roads. stopping and searching cars
and trucks. Other details watched
airports. while anti-smugglel
patrols cruised the Thames River
A man who described himself
"one of the conspirators" tele-
phoned Glasgow newspaper that
the stone already was in Scotland
and that it would be produced
when the time comes
The anonymous caller said he
was phoning from newcastle. 18C
miles north of London and SO
miles from the Scottish border.
Legal Action Planned.
Miss Wendy Wood. 57-year-old
leader of the Scottish Patriots
Association. who said she helped
engineer an unsuccessful plot to
seize the stone in 1887, broke out
the lion rampant-Scotland's ma
tional emblem-at her cottage
near Salen, in Argyllshire. She
announced she would take legal
action to establish that the stone
rightfully belongs in Scotland.
The Stone of Scone used to be
in the Abbey of Scone in Pert
shire. On it. for more than 40C
years, Scotland crowned its kings
Then England's Edward I, known
as hammer of the Scots" seized
it as a war trophy in 1896 and
had it placed in London's West
minister Abbey.
Since then 1t has rested on a
shelf built into the coronation
chair where Britain's kings are
crowned.
Treaty Provided for Return.
The Anglo-Scottish treaty OF
Northampton in 1923 provided
that the stone be returned to the
proud Scots.
Although denying to police that
she knew the identity of the
Westminster marauders, Miss
Wood wished them well, adding

crash imaginable, the systems
themselves are so great that they
probably would be almost unaf-
tected. The stars of the two uni
verses would mix together for a
few million years and then. due
to various astronomical laws,
would pull apart again. But their
mutual attraction would leave the
star bridges over the great voids
of space between them and they
may continue tied together
through eternity.
Cosmic Whirlwinds.
In the beginning. as DR.. Car
penter pictured creation about 10
billion years ago. space was filled
with formless gas and primaeval
darkness. Presumably. there were
differences in temperature within
this dark gas, filling the infinite.
AS result. whirlwinds developed
which he pictured as similar, but
OH cosrnic scale, to the sand
devils" little whirlWinds which
sweep over the southwestern
desert.
These whirlwinds were the first
chapter of creation. Out of these
sand devils of the infinite came
the galaxies and out of the
galaXies came the stars.
The very brief time that has
elapsed since creation, probably
somewhat less than 10 billion
years, leaves the observer at loss
in trying to explain the behavior
of galaxies, he pointed out. All
are rotating around their centers
but some have had time to COM
plete only two or three rotations.
This totality of things-millions
of universes of billions of stars
still is babe in the arms Of the
primeval darkness, it's mother.
What is apparently the bluest
star in the heavens was described
by DR.. Donald A. McCrae Of the
Case Institute Of Technology. It
appears to be a unique astronomi-
cal object. fitting into no previous
star classification. It is in the
constellation of Pegasus in the
northern sky and calculations in
dicate that it is a fairly close
neighbor Of the solar system
that is, not much more than 180
billion miles away.
Different Blue Star.
Some observations have indi-
Gated it may be as much as so per
cent more blue than any other
known stars. Others put it from
eight to 10 per cent. It apparent
ly is about the size and brightness
of the sun. Blue stars, which show
an excess Of blue light in their
spectra, generally are assumed to
be extremely hot and either very
large and tenuous or extremely
heavy, of the type Of the weird
white dwarfs which weigh thou
sands of tons per cubic inch. This
star, DR.. McCrea said, certainly
does not fit into either Of these
classifications. One Of its closest
neighbors is a hot, blue giant but
there are notable differences be-
tween them.
There is no luminous envelope
around the new-found star. as is
usual with blue stars. It's spec
trum differs notably from that OF
any other known celestial object.
Apparently, DR.. McCrea said, 1t is
a star Of a type never before OBJ
served but which still may be quite
numerous in the stellar family.

makeup the rare and curious

Atomic Survival

mile and a half away, deaths drop to Is out of a hundred: Two or three will die at points from 1 F to ? miles and beyond 2 miles, the explosion will cause practic- ally no loss of life whatever.
 Naturally, the chance of injury far exceeds the chance of being killed. But your chances of re- covering from injury by radio activity are about the same as for everyday accidents.
 Atomic explosions do not ren- der areas and buildings perma- nently uninhabitable. Nor is the sterility reported by survivors of the Japanese bombings more than temporary condition. Highly colored stories of cancer induced by radioactivity have been ex- ploded as myths.
 the earth-nor will they kill us all by radioactivity. Nor will doubling the power of atomic bombs double their effectiveness. To stretch the damage range of the A bomb from 2 to 4 miles would require a weapon more than 8 times the rated power of the pres ent model.
 Summing up, it is pointed out that the greatest dangers we have to face from atomic weapons are blast and heat. To insure maxi mum protection the following precautions are cited:
 First: Seek shelter in a base ment, ditch or gutter, second drop flat on floor or ground, third: bury your face in the arms, hid ing the eyes in the crook of the elbow against flash burns, fourth: don't rush outside right after a bombing, fifth: don't take chances with food that may have been contaminated by radioactivity, and last: DON'T START OR CIR CULATE~ RUMORS.
 The foregoing excerpts repre- sent what we believe to be the soundest and most practical com ment ever offered on the subject of atomic weapons. Civil Defense authorities have these facts and are prepared to implement them for your protection.
 We seriously doubt that Juneau will ever be an A bomb target, but should that occur-We can be ready to protect ourselves.
