Authoritative sources revealed yesterday that a number of pressmen who ordinarily work at the Post about 40, according to one source have been working some shifts at the Washington Star.

MARK MEAGHER, general manager of the Post, told a press confer- by pressmen last Wednesday to be put back in working order. Other copies were again printed at out-of-town newspaper plants. SIXTEEN non-union engineers from other newspapers around the country were working yesterday to repair damaged presses. There was no estimate as to when they might finish the job but a company official said there were hopes of repairing a second press in time to help print today's paper. The presses and other mechanical equipment are being run by nonunion Post employes who have been specially trained for this work in recent years.

Many received training at the Southern Productions Programs, facility in Oklahoma City, which was set up in part to help newspaper managements in this way. A number of papers around the country have successfully expelled pressmen unions from their premises.

This is one of the largest number of witnesses to be called at the beginning of a major criminal investigation here, the sources said.

Many of those subpoenaed are pressmen believed to have been present during the destruction of pressroom equipment and an assault on a supervisor early last Wednesday morning, according to the sources. There were 114 pressmen assigned to work at the Post at the time. MEANWHILE, as negotiations for the pressmen's union and Post management yesterday held their first bargaining session since the week-old strike began, two other unions already honoring the pressmen's picket lines announced that they also were formally striking.

Painter, who began his retirement yesterday, was his formula for 3,538,458 miles without a preventable accident as a Greyhound bus driver. Greyhound regional manager Harvey Anthony said Painter's unblemished performance is a national Greyhound record. "Oh, we've got some drivers who are close to the three million mark," he said, "but we don't have anyone who's close to him." Painter made his first run Oct. 5, 1929, and joined Greyhound in 1932. Back then, he said, 50 miles was about as far as a bus could go in a day.

"I want to do some traveling, perhaps to Hawaii," Painter said. "If I can talk my wife into it, we'll fly."
