A United States Navy publica-

from which it could launch air
attacks on shipping on most Of
the sea approaches to Europe
and China.
But it added that the ability
of Soviet naval aviation to carry
out its anti-shipping mission is
limited by its size and said the
Russians probably would borrow
air force aircraft to perform
naval missions. as the Germans
did in World War II.

Brotherhood 10 Seek
Engineers Pay Raise
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 4.-The
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has agreed to bargain
nationally starting Wednesday
for pay increases from 139 rail-
roads.
Members employed by 90 other
railroads will continue separate
negotiations while those on still
another 13 roads will recess talks
to await results from the joint
bargaining.
The announcement by Grand
Chief Engineer Guy L. Brown
yesterday followed a vote by
members of the independent un-
ion which represents between
$4,000 and 10000 rail employees.
Previously the union opposed
national bargaining which was
suggested by employers after the
brotherhood announced it want
ed 80 per cent pay increase
for its members.
The brotherhood said it's mem
bers average 50 hourly now and
that it wanted the increase for
two reasons: AS the unions
share in the eighth round of pay
boosts since World War II and
to re-establish differentials for
skilled work.
The union holds its members
lost the differentials during the
last 20 years. Members of the
union are engineers for almost
all Of the Glass I roads in the

Battered West Europe

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Western
Europe's dikes and sea walls,
age-old bastions against the
raging ocean,, stood strong and
firm today after "a hours Of
battering by gale-churned seas.
Anxious watchers. remember
ing when lood waters burst
through the dikes and wrecked
vast areas Of the Low Countries
and Eastern England last Febru-
ary, sighed with relief as they
watched the seas die down to-
day.
In England. police and coast
guards kept an all-night vigil
In low coastal areas, then left
their watch as weathermen re-
ported soon after 10 am. that
the crisis hour of high tide had
passed safely. A collier ran
ashore at Shoreham, Southern
England.
In the Netherlands. where
overnight water levels were the
highest since last winters floods
In which 1,795 persons died, the
situation was reported nearly
back to normal.
Denmark Also Suffers.
But the storm which smashed
the calm Of Europe's winter with
sudden force yesterday still
ragged in many places. Billiards
and heavy snowfalls were re-
ported from Scandinavia down
to Italy.
In Denmark, the little Jutland
town Of Randers was flooded
during the night by the worst
gale in several years. Towns
folk rowed today through wa
ter-logged streets to salvage
their belongings. Rescue squads
in rubber dinghies borrowed
from the army pitched in.
In Odense. salvage workers
toiled with sandbags to patch
up dikes protecting the town
from a nearby canal. which
threatened to burst its banks.
Two ships ran aground of
the North German coast in a
snowstorm.
Swedish Traffic Tangled.
Swedish road. rail and air
transport was snarled after an
80-mile-an-hour blizzard swept
the country. Stockholm airport
was snowbound. roads in North
ern Sweden were completely
blocked by deep snowdrifts, and
some rail services were can
celed. Several coastal vessels
were reported missing.
In Italy, too, heavy snowfalls
particularly in the Alpine re-
gionS-blocked roads and delayed
trains. Weathermen reported
more snow on the way.
Other parts Of Europe were
untouched. London and Brussels

New French Crisis
Turns Up as LanieI
Asks Another Vote
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Jan. 4.-France faces
the prospect Of a government
crisis this week. Premier Joseph
Laniel announced he would ask
Parliament on Wednesday to
confirm his government or kick
it out-well in advance Of the
Big Four foreign ministers Ber-
lin meeting.
Mr.. Laniel's cabinet is due to
resign on January II because Of
the Inauguration the day before
Of President-elect Rene Coty.
but the Premier decided to force
a showdown at once on how
France would be represented
when the Big -Four meet jan
uary 25.
Over the week end he offered
his resignation to outgoing
President Vincent Auriol, say
ing a cabinet crisis the week
before the Berlin conference
might prevent France from be-
ing effectively represented. Mr..
Auriol refused the resignation.
Special Session Called.
In another letter to Mr.. Auriol
last night, Mr.. Laniel called a
special session Of the National
Assembly and the Council Of the
Republic (Senate) for Wednes-
day Ito hear a governmental
statement"
Mr.. Laniel said only that the
statement would be a broad dec
laration Of his cabinets foreign
policy, and that he would ask
the Assembly for a vote OF con-
fldence on it. If defeated. he
would have to resign.
Should this happen and no
new government be formed be-
fore January IS. Foreign Min
lister Georges Bidault would have
to go to Berlin as the representa-
tive of a caretaker regime unable
to speak effectively for France.
Backing Of Opposition Seen.
Presumably Mr.. Laniel figures
moderate and leftist Assembly,
men otherwise hostile to him
will want to avoid this.
It appeared unlikely, however.
that the government statement
Wednesday would express any
strong endorsement Of the pro-
posed European army or the
general integration Of Western
Europe including West Germany.
Because the Assembly is so
badly split on these two related
controversial issues. Mr.. Laniel
was expected to stress Frances
willingness to negotiate a Ger
man settlement with the Krem-
lin, and treat the international
army and European unity as
long term goals.

who eats and sleeps firemen's

bicycle to help the firefighters.
The words, Its off," mean to
a man who wields a pompier's

To Robert E. Lee. jr., who

First Dreamed Of Police.
Bob Lee, a plumbers son who
lives at 932 North Garfield
street. has been dedicated to a
fireman's life ever since he
started listening to fire calls on
a borrowed radio in 1851. Police
calls also came in via the small
set and Bob at first imagined
himself as a county policeman.
The police. however. didn't seem
to appreciate his offers of as
sistance.
The firemen were different.
They have to sit around the sta
ttion long hours during quiet
spells. A boy determined to
make himself useful and liked
was able to perform countless
errandS. Bob did.
Last year. he was too young to
be a volunteer and ride the fire
trucks. But he dashed of to
153 fires on his bicycle. That,
at least, was his score, tabulated
in a black notebook, UP to the
last week in the year.
Once, when the firemen were
delayed by heavy traffic in Ross
lyn, young Lee reached the scene
