TO HALT STRIKE Chicago, Aug. 24 (U.PJ In the first seizure of a private in dustry since the end of the war, the Office of Defense Transpor tation early today assumed con trol of the Illinois Central rail road to forestall a strike of loco motive enginemen and firemen. The ODT was named the fed eral agency to take over opera tion of the company's facilities in an executive order issued last night by President Truman. The presidential directive came after a daylong conference failed to effect a settlement in the case, involving a jurisdic tional dispute between two rail road brotherhoods. The seizure was ordered by the chief executive because "a stoppage in the railroad industry at this time is unthinkable " David B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen and Enginemen, which had scheduled a walkout for 12:01 a. m., said that the strike had been postponed for an indefinite period, Robertson said that the union would not "strike against the government" and assured ODT officials that the men would re main on the job. The strike, if carried out, would have affected approxi mately 1,800 locomotive tire men, hostlers and hostler helpers on the I. C. and its subsidiaiy, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad.

President Truman Indicated as much yesterday, and today War Production Chief J. A. Krug told senate and house loaders statutory war time is no longer necessary. The president expects to ask congress to put the country back on sun time by repealing legis lation under which, early in the war," clocks were advanced an hour to conserve daylight, elec tric power and fuel. Krug sent identical letters to Sen. Kenneth McKellar, D., Tenn., president of the senate and speaker Say Rayburn. With the surrender of Japan and re sultant cutbacks in war produc tion, he said, "fuel savings from continuance of 'war time' are no longer sufficiently related to the functions of the War Produc tion board as to justify recom mending of war time for that reason." After Germany's surrender, Krug felt thnt war time was still "highly desirable" as a fuel con servation measure for the re mainder of the 1945-48 fuel year.
