Unemployment grew swiftly on iahs railroads and in the coal mines, and many industrial concerns re- ported they would be hit in a mat- ter of days.

only affect. in Canada has been a reduction of service on the New York Central lines in southwestern Oxitulo.

There was violence and no peace move; in the strike which began yesterday.

The dispute, over employmentof an extra. fireman on multiple-unit diesel engines, was deadlocked so completely that the National (rail- way) Mediation Board was simply

standing by. Lvsilnble for con- sultntlon if either side wanted them.

The Pennsylvania, Rallmad said it would lay off 80.000 of its 125.- 000 employees by tomorrow morn- ing, The New York Central said 25.000 of its workers already are idle and that 15,000 more non-op- ersting employees will be laid off by tomorrow or Monday. The Santa Fe ordered its shops closed. affecting several thousand workers. The southern railway system said most of its 38,000 employees will be idle by tomorrow night.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engincmon called a strike against these lines yesterday to support its demands for the extra firemen. About 18.000 firemen walked out.

The strike by tonightvhad knock- ed out 12 per cent of Western Pennsylvania's coal output. Four- teen big mines and several small mines with an estimated combined daily output of 35,000 inns shut down because there were no em- pty cars to carry away the mined cosl. The number of idle Permsyl- vanio minors may rise to 55.000 next week.

Bridges p Now No. I Priority

(By Robert Clarke, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

WINNIPEG, May 11 .. (C-13)-The fight to bolster bridges had no. 1 priority in punch-drunk Winnipeg and nearby St. Boniface tonight as thousands of destitute-and homeless fled the unchecked spread of Red River water.

Only .one of 11 main bridges gaining the two cities and their suburbs still was fully open. Four were open only to essential traffic.

Even trucks rushing men and supplies to the leaky, tottering dikes were forced to travel roundabout routes.

The greater Winnipeg area was in effect split into un- connected segments.

WASHINGTON. May 11 - (AP) -A proposal to confront lluuis with revolutionary new stonio do- fences in Western Europe is brig considered by United States mili- tary officials.

The core of the Idea is to place atomic weapons within easy reach of Europesn Allies, subject to some sort of American or Allied control, before Russia. gets I. substantial stockpile of atom bombs.

Coupled with this idea is s new concept of military force, in which fast jet planes equipped to carry atomic bombs would be relied upon to replace many. conventional ground forces.

In a comprehensive report of the Association activities during the past year. retiring President.Ken- nedy reviewed the improvements in night racing vaudeville, handi- craft exhibits. and other features, and spokeoptimlsticaliy of the prospects for the coming season.

"It is my sincere wish." he said.

of'

ties are exploring the highly-com trovcrsial proposal, assembling military arguments for and against it. Their discussions are still in a preliminary stage and far from 1 recommendation on which Pres- ident Truman might base a request for Congresional action.

Before atomic weapons could be mad; available to European mem- bers of the Atlantic Pact, Congress would have to amend the Atomic Energy Act. '

Congressmen Opposed

initial congressional reaction to the idea of sharing atomic wen. pons with European Allies indi- cates that it will have tough sled- ing it it reaches Capitol Hill. With- out exception. members of the House of Representatives foreign affairs committee who discussed the idea with reporters today ex- pressed opposition. '

Representative Charles A. Eaton (Rep. N. J.). former chairman who is a native of Nova Scotia, said that giving A-bombs to other countries would "mean giving notice to Russia that everybody could use the bomb."

"That would be terrible," said Eaton, who expressed a "hope and prayer" that the bomb can be out- lawed in all countries.

Some military officials share the opinion of these Congressmen that it would be unwise to make atomic weapons available to Britain. France and other members of the Atlantic alliance.

These official: fear that inform- ation about improved designs might leak to Russia. They are ap- prehensive also that the weapons might fall into Communist hands and be turned against the United States. either as the result of poll- tical upheavals or of Russia over- running Western Europe.
