f BIX MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 1, 1B4S STRIKE HINDERED New York, June 30 (U.PJ Distribution of five New York Sunday newspapers with con bined circulation of approxi. mately 8,000,000 was virtually halted tonight by a strike of aome 1,700 members of the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers union, an Independent organiza tion. The strike had not been scheduled to begin until 12:01 a. m.; tomorrow but most work ers who normally report at 4 p. m. telephoned they were "sick." This dashed the hopes of publishers who had set their press times ahead in order to get early editions to newstands be fore the strike deadline. The strike, stemming from differences with the New York Publishers Association in nego tiations for a new contract, was called after voting yesterday in which 1,848 of 1,693 union mem bers balloted in favor of such action. The voting was super vised by the National Labor Re lations Board. The Publishers Association claimed that the strike, called despite a War Labor Board di rective that the current contract should remain in force until a new one was reached, was Ille gal in the first place and became "contemptuously illegal" when the union failed to observe the strike deadline.

NAZI WEREWOLVES OPEN VANDALISM BRITISH REPORT British Headquarters In Ger many, June 30 (U.R) Fanatical Nazi werewolves about whom Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels boasted during the last days of the Reich have begun operations in British and American occupation zones but details of their activities are a top military secret, allied intel ligence indicated today. Increasing numbers of Jeeps and other military vehicles now are equipped with a sharp steel cutting edge mounted irt front of the radiator to slash through wires stretched across roads t night. On one great superhighway a number of bridges have been wrecked which were intact when the allies arrived. There has been no official confirmation that the bridges were sabotaged by werewolves but It Is difficult to see how it could have oc curred otherwise. News that the werewolves now are operating coincides with Information that the Nazis Bgain are functioning underground in some areas of the British and American zones. This was con firmed by Dr. Conrad Adenauer, German mayor of Cologne, who said the Nazis are appearing again in the Rhineland and the Ruhr.
