An apparent attempt by P1esi-

more bitter when Mariner S.

He disclosed a record of White

Mail and Freight
Pile Up; Embargo
Now Covers u. S.

Gripping effects of the railroad
strike continued to mount yester-
day as the mail embargo was ex-
tended across the Nation, freight
piled up higher and higher, and
additional thousands were thrown
out of work.
Nationally. more than 10000
industrial workers, many perform
ing vital war tasks, were laid of
because of material shortages
That number was expected tc
grow much higher If the strike
continues this week.
In Washington passenger serv-
ice was slashed SO per cent, and
those trains that were operating
limped into Union Station as much
as eight hours late.
While the Potomac Yards con-
tlnue to operate, rigid embargoes
at such main gateways as Chicago
and st. Louis began to sharply
cut into the 5000 or 5000 freight
cars usually handled there daily
Perishable Food Held Up.
One railroad spokesman esti-
mated Washington's freight re-
celpt was IS per cent of normal
yesterday, and predicted it would
fall to IS per cent by tomorrow
if the strike goes on.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-An
Air Force fishing party ran into
disaster off the Golden Gate this
afternoon, with a possible loss of
six lives, when the Army tug carry
ing them capsized in rough seas.
Rescue craft saved IA of the
20 men aboard the tug and there
was a chance that some of the
missing six may have been picked
up by small boats which gathered
at the scene.
But until a thorough check cf
all possible rescue craft-fishing
boats, yachts and other small craft
has been made, the Coast Guard
and other agencies put the six

For Militant Lead
Against Communism

By Joseph A. Fox

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.-Pres-
ident Truman today called the
American people to militant
leadership of the forces opposing
communism. and expressed con-
fldence that Soviet aggression can
be turned back without another
world war.
Speaking at the dedication of
the inter-faith Chapel of the Four
Chaplains, which honors four men
who gave their lives in an epic
of World War II, when the Troop
ship Dorchester was torpedoed
off Greenland, February 8, 1943,
the President declared that Fate
had thrust this country into world
leadership, then added tersely:
I'VE cannot lead the forces of
freedom from behind"
Hopes for Success.
Warning of the hard job in
prospect the Chief Executive said
the most difficult time may be in
the years just ahead, but, he am
plified, "if we can get over the
present crisis successfully-if we
can restrain aggression before it
bursts out into another world
war-then things will be easier
in the future. And I think we
can do this. We can't be sure,
of course. but there is good rea-
son to hope for success
Mr.. Truman made a quick trip
to Philadelphia for the brief
ceremony, spending only the
afternoon away from the Capital
(His special train returned to
Washington at 6:10 o'clock last
night)
The President spoke after un-
yelling mural depicting the scene

Ousted Foreign Minister
Thought to Be jailed
Or Out Of Country
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia, Feb.
3.-Dr. Waldo Clements, who was
ousted as foreign minister of
Czechoslovakia last March because
he 'lost faith in Stalin," could not
be reached at his home tonight.
Police were on guard at his apart
ment.
Speculation was that he was in
prison, under house arrest Or
more likely-had vanished of his
own accord and perhaps is now
out of the country.
Clements went out as foreign
minister last March IA. Two
months later his successor, Vilem
Siroky. told a Communist Party
conference that Clements had
been deposed because of lack of
faith in the Soviet leader.
An unidentified tipster who
telephoned a Western embassy

Wednesday said he was a police

Changes Reported Pending.

ac0llaintance c1aimed to have
talked with him on Prague's main

Official sources were not avail
able for comment. A telephone
