East Coast Scene of Waterfront Wary Truce NEW YORK UB An uneasy truce settled on the East Coast waterfront Tuesday, as shipping shook off the effects of a five day, multi-million dollar dock strike. A court order ended the walkout Monday night. Longshoremen began streaming back to work in such big .ports as New , York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. j In New York, world's largest port, 52 vessels started inching into piers after the strike isolated them for days at anchor in the harbor. Tugmen were back on the job and big liners were freed from the ticklish task of maneuvering themselves into berths. First to arrive in New York after the strike's end was : the Swedish American "liner Gripsholm. The Italian Line's Andrea Doria , was first to sail. At its height the strike tied up more than 100 vessels in 12 har bors from Portland, Me., to Hamp ton Roads Va. A Taft-Hartley law injunction Monday the first of the Eisen hower administration forced the striking International Longshore men s Association back to work. A railroad embargo on freight shipments into New York was lift ed. It was placed in effect last Thursday - to prevent a tieup of freight cars during the strike, f Warren Makes 'Final Break With Polities' NEW YORK m Earl Warren, chief justice of the United States, said Tuesday night that he "will nut nersonal and nartv oolitics be hind me for the remainder of my life." Warren, former governor of Cal ifornia, made the statement in a filmed TV interview on the CBS network "See It Now." Warren, who took the oath of his new office Monday, said he feels he is "a conservative liberal -i one who will confine his lib eralism to practical conservative thinking." President Eisenhower had s termed Warren a middle-of-the-roader. Said the chief justice: "I think of, what Lincoln once said. Someone asked him-how he classified himself. He said: 'I am a very slow walker, but I never walk backwards. " Warren recalled that his law school dean at the University of California predicted he would nev er graduate. He said it was "an honest dif ference of opinion" stemming from the fact that he, Warren, took a job as a law clerk to "see how the machinery of the practice of law worked." The dean, he explained, thought this was not consistent with case study methods then employed and felt Warren would spend his time better in the library. "In due course I did graduate," WarreB said. Lodge Blai For Korea .es U.S.lDie Delays News Conflict NEW YORK -i Henry Cabot! Lodge Jr., said Tuesday that "it wasn't the U. N. that 'sucked' the U. S. into Korea; it was rather the other , way around."-- - Ambassador Lodge, chief United States delegate to the United Na tions, made a point-by-point de fense of the U. N. against its critics in an interview-to be pub lished in the Oct 12 issue of News week magazine. Intervieweu by Newsweek Asso ciate Editor Gordon C Hamilton, Lodge also said that the U. N. "is not a nest of Communist spies. because there is nothing to spy on in the U. N." Although calling the U. N. "the necessary foundation for any fu ture world ' order," Lodge said world government schemes now do more harm than good. '. "Cannot Digest" They are. he said, like feeding "fried potatoes- to a newborn baby"r "trying to ram some thing down the throat of the world which it cannot digest. Lodge s statement that the U. S. got the U. N. into Korea came after he was asked what this coun try gained from its partnership with the U. N. in Korea. Wha. we gained, he said, was two divisions from 15 nations which, otherwise, we would have had to supply ourselves at a cost of 600 million dollars a year and many, more lives. ; Compares Costs I This, he said, compared with the 25 million a year it costs the U. S. to participate in the U. N. "That's not a bad deaL" he added. Lodge said there was some ustigcation for the complaints about subversive American em ployes at U. N., but a joint screen ing program set up by himself Two Perish in Fire Houston HOUSTON (SV At least two people burned to death Tuesday night in a fire which quickly de stroyed an old two-story room ing, house near the downtown Union Railroad station.

Daring Snatches Two From Water FLORENCE (J) Lois Norman and Ernest Fossek, who survived 1 Vi hours in a raging sea Monday, were recovering here Tuesday after a daring rescue by Fossek's brother. . The brother, Walter, became worried about the pair, who had gone out in Ernest's 23-foot fishing boat ' Walter started to drive along the coast, and saw the boat just as big waves spun it about, then capsized it ' . ' He raced to the dock here, got his own 40-foot boat, and against advice of other fishermen, headed out into the ocean, which by then was tossing 30-foot waves. . Two airplanes guided him to the scene, and he rescued the two from the water just minutes before fog rolled in to obscure the area. Both had been able to stay afloat with the aid of life jackets. Ike Orders , Bolivia Get Farm Products -WASHINGTON . ffl President Eisenhower Tuesday ordered five million dollars worth of farm pro ducts sent to Bolivia to help avert a famine. v j- The commodities will come from the stocks of the Commodity Credit Corporation.

They are to report all their findings and recommendations to the commission. The Commission announcenent said the group's initial objective "is to select a design of a reactor intended primarily for the produc tion of electric power within the near future, and to make a pre liminary economic appraisal of such a design." 1 A spokesman said, however, he saw no significance in use of the phrase within the near future. He referred a questioner to testi mony before a congressional com mittee during the summer that at least 10 years would be required to bring the cost of producing atom ic power down to that of more con ventional methods.. Joining in the study are Ameri can Gas and Electric Service Corp., New York City; Commonwealth Edison Co., Chicago; Pacific Gas and Electric Co., San Francisco: Union Electric Co., St Louis; and the Bechtel Corp., an engineering and construction company with headquarters in San Francisco. Four of the five companies, the AEC said, have participated in pre vious nuclear power studies dur ing the last two years. It noted that the four utilities own electric generating capacity of more than 10 million kilowatts, and have combined annual sales exceeding 48 Vi billion kilowatt hours.

He said one evidence that there was nothing to spy on at U. N. was the fact "the Soviets haven't even ruled their quota of em ployes." Nose Prosecated No United States citizen em ployed by the U. N. has ever, been prosecuted for espionage," .' he added. . . Asked if the Communist nations were happy with what they are getting from U. N., Lodge replied: The Soviets have a real head ache in the U. N. They cannot control the U. N. They cannot break it . up. They do not dare leave it If war came' in spite of the U. N., it would then .be the in dispensable instrument for repel ling the aggression which is probably one reason why the Com munists don t leave it ' Parley WASHINGTON UB President Eisenhower will not hold a news conference Wednesday but, may do so later in the week, ' v - Wednesday is the President's us ual day for meeting with newsmen. but the White House announced be would not have a conference Wed nesday because the National Se curity Council will be meeting.

They said more people stopped to look at the scorched sides than ever before. New electric utility plants to be built in the United States by 1958 will consume 46 million tons of coal annually.
