Bus Dives Off of Ramp Of Oakland Bay Bridge Killing ', Injuring 21

OAKLAND, Cal Oct. 29- B = Seven persons were smashed to death and 21 others lay in hospital beds today-most of them in serious condition-after an incredibly freak ish bus disaster
 A Greyhound bus careened off a ramp at the Oakland end of the Bay Bridge and plunged 40 feet to a railroad track below just before dawn Sunday.
 It lay crumpled upside down with moaning and screaming passengers trapped inside for nea.is t'so hcss,.s.i-
 Of the % persons aboard only Air Force It. John R. Haber, "A, of Camp Stoneman, Calif., was able to walk away from the hospital after treatment for minor cuts and bruises.
 Twelve of the injured were re- ported in critical condition.
 The almost unbelievable sequence started when a passenger car knocked huge hunk of concrete onto the roadway less than three minutes before the ponderous bus hove into sight from the opposite direction.
 The loaded bus, inbound for the Oakland Bus Depot after a night run from Salt Lake City, srnacked the concrete block, blew a tire ana went out of control. It ripped out a section of the stout retaining rail and fell into the darkness below.
 It took an hour and 49 minutes for rescuers to extricate the 70 passengers and the driver.
 Bus driver Vane E. Eishire oi Sacramento, Calif., was one of the dead.
 A 16-year-old bus passenger set his stop watch as the bus fell. It was 5:22 am. Like everyone else' he was knocked unconscious by the crash.
 Then. said Charles B. Taylor wno lived nearby:
 People were screaming get me E, ont for Gods sake get me out.
 aOne woman kept shouting: turn off the ignition before we all oio" up"

STEvEDOREs PASS TICKETS

NEW YORK, Oct. 2g-R-A big squad of sevedsres edssed thes.s wa~ onto strikebound pier today. while some 200 policemen held back a surging, angry throng of some 250 pickets.
 It was the first move today by non-strikers to back their threat to break through picket lines that have paralyzed the miles of docks along the vast New York harbor.
 Some 100 non-strikers, supporters of AFL Longshore Boss Joseph Ryan, filtered hastily past the massed pickets at pier 90 on the Hudson river where the Queen Elizabeth is docked.
 Police, who a few minutes earlier had doubled their foot and mounted guard at the pier, formed lines and showed back the press of pickets, keeping the rival factions separated.
 The pickets shouted strong taunts, but there was no violence.
 The back-to-work manuever was only isolated. however, and left the rest of the vast waterfront here - except for military piers -3 closed tight. A total of 123 ships were strike bound
 In Albany, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said it was "intolerable' that an intra- union fight should tie up the docks, and ordered the state medi- ation board to step into the dispute

 AP Correspondent Milo Farneti reported from the central front that Allied officers believe the Reds have shifted a fresh division to the Kumsong area to reinforce Red division badly mauled earlier this month.
 On the western front Allied forces
 
 slogged forward as much as l.20e yards.
 In the east they seized a hill and gained up to 1000 yards after turn ing back three separate night at- tacks.

Docks Quiet As pitkets
 March in N. Y.

NEW YORK, Oct. "A = R - A threatened showdown in New York's waterfront strike failed to develop today and miles and miles of docks remained closed tight after morn ing work whistles blew.
 Reinforced lines of pickets marched in front of many piers. An nounced plans of AFL Longshore Boss Joseph Ryan to send men through or over" pickets didn't materialize.
 Police, anticipating possible vio- lent climax to the 15-day dock strike. increased waterfront patrols to about 400 men along the Man. haitian docks alone.
 But as the morning advanced, the docks remained quiet while pickets, shivering in a chill wind, plodded to and fro.
 There was no sign of the non- strikers Ryan had threatened to send out
 There's no trouble anywhere so far" police spokesman said.
 John J. Sampson, leader of the strikers revolt against new con- tract. said of Ryan's threat to send in non-strikers to crash picket lines.
 He said that two weeks ago. The men will stay out as long as we are on strike"
 He also scoffed at Ryan's charge that strangers" were among the strikers
 There are no strangers here." Sampson said. "The trouble is that Ryan is not close enough to the membership to know who they are" Ryan, lifetime president of the AFL International Longshoremen's Association, Sunday wired President Truman, promising that his fol- lowers will not be kept from work by picket lines.

 The moderate, by comparison, bomb was dropped by a B-29 plane in a daylight demonstra- ton yesterday morning.
 It was the second after dawn nuclear test put on by the AEc after much delay because of weather and various operational difficulties.
 Unlike the pallid baby blast last Monday, yesterdays detonatlon caused a rumble heard as far away as Big Bear, Calf, 225 miles away, and St. George, Utah, 135 miles oil An aviator flying at about 11,00O feet over Kaibab Forest, Utah, re- ported seeing the flash some 200 miles distant. It also was widely seen in Las Vegas and other south ern Nevada communities, but was felt by comparatively few persons. There was no damage reported.
 The AEC reported finding a small amount of radiation in the Beatty LathrOp Wells area, about 35 miles southwest of the Yucca Flat test site, but it was termed unharmful to humans, animals or crops. |
 Yesterdays bomb unofficially the 18th major nuclear explosion by the US. flashed white, then glowed red for perhaps two seconds before sending up column of smoke and the familiar atomic mushroom.
 Changing through various colors from grey to purple to brown to pink, the nuclear cloud assumed a "" shape which stretched widely across the sky before finally disin- tegrating three hours after the blast. At it's peak, the cloud rose to prob ably 10000 feet and attained a width of nearly 50 miles.

Tories Get
 1S-5eaf Edge In Returns

LONDON, Oct. 29-tRi-Complete returns from the 624 districts which voted Thursday in Britain's parlla- mentary elections gave winston Churchill's Conservatives an overall edge of IS seats in the House or Commons even though they polled 190,236 less votes than the beaten Laborites.
 The last two of the 624 districts reported today. The 625th is the Labor stronghold of Barnsley where polling was postponed until Nov. s because of the death of candidate. That probably will trim the Tories margin to IT seats. But Churchill has a qualified pledge of support from the Liberals, which should boost his working margin on most issues to 29.
 The Conservatives won 1,732,346 votes in the SPA districts, the Lab orites 13,911,582.
