directly by accidents to farm peo-
pie.
When President Truman set the
1850 goal" Mr.. Dearborn said, ''he
chose an approach that should get
real results. For most accidents to
farm residents involve some viola
tion of a common-sense safety
rule.
Safety rules are simple things,
but probably each of us has known
somebody in his own family, or
among his friends, who was the
victim of an accident because he
had not learned or had not obeyed
some standard safety rule. 1t is my
hope that all farm residents will
learn basic safety rules during Ma
tional Farm Safety Week and put
them into practice every day of the
year."
George M. Worrilow, director of
the Delaware Safety Councils
farm division, said: National
Farm Safety Week probably is the
most important single factor in
making farm residents more safety
conscious the year-round. 1t has
acquainted them with the serious
accident problem among farm
people, and has demonstrated that
something can be done about it.
Work safely-Live safely. Not just
during National Farm Safety Week
but every week of the year."

Nasedkin started his career as
an ordinary soldier and rose

Ministry prior to his death after
a lengthy illness. He formerly was
an administration chief in the

Russia's Ministry of Internal

Earlier this week an Associated

only in their 40s, have been re-

Speculation has been that a new

Nasedkin would have been more

Deputy Prime Minister Lavrenti
P. Beria, who is reported to be

members of the Politburo-in a

London Dock WaIkout
Spreads; 1000 Idle;
Red Backing Charged
Government May Coll on
Troops to End Strike;
Al Food Ships HoIted
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. April 20. - Nearl!
1000 dock workers were out toda.
in a growing wildcat strike which
Labor Minister George Isaac
branded as clearly Communist
inspired. Strike leaders deniee
Communist influence.
Isaacs limited the Labor Govern
ment might use troops to end the
unofficial walkout.
The strike, called to demand
the reinstatement of three ex-
PEELED union men. began yester-
day with a walkout of nearly
1000 dockers. BY today it had
immobilized at least Al ships
carrying food for Britains skinny
larders.
Report Given to Commons.
Reporting to the House OF
Commons on the situation, Mr.
Isaacs said:
"The present stoppage is clearly
Communist-inspired and is moth
ing else than an attack on the
democratic and constitutional
rules of the Transport and Gen.
eral Workers Union"
The three expelled dockers be-
long to the TGWU, once headed
by Foreign Secretary Bevin. 1t
had expelled the trio on charges
that they led Communist-sup-
ported walkout last year.
Besides the ships immobilized,
about 10 were undermanned when,
by afternoon. the number of work.
ers on strike rose to 6,737. the
National Dock Labor Board said.
The Port Labor Executive Com
mittee which represents unions
and management, condemned the
strike as a break of national and
local agreements" and called-ap-
parently futilely-for an imme-
diate resumption of work. Strike
leaders planned new meetings at
the docks to recruit new support.
Gold, Deliberate" Red Plot.
Mr.. Isaacs, who had called the
1949 dock strike a cold and de-
liberate" Communist plot. told
Commons today:
This stoppage, in no way con-
nected with any dispute with en-
ployers regarding rates and con-
ditions of employment. shows once
again the lengths to which the
Communists are prepared to go in
their losing attempt to gain con-
troll of the trade union movement.
a.. We are determined that the
vital interests Of the Nation must
be safeguarded."
This was taken as a hint that
the government might soon step
in. with troops, as it did in the
1949 stoppage. That walkout had
tied up thousands of tons of ship
ping for weeks and resulted in
the expulsion by the transport
union of Ted Dickens, G. H.
Saunders and Harry Constable.
The TGWU issued a statement
tonight insisting that the expul-
sions will stand, and demanding
that members involved lr the strike
return to work immediately. +"
The statement said the TGWU
was determined to uphold the
rules and constitutionality of the
union"
