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.

Washington, Aug. 24 (U.R)
Clocks will go back an hour to
standard time soon after con
gress reconvenes next month, it
appeared today.
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.
