But there's not much official talk about the big blow. It will be an underwater demonstration for private army and scientific eyes. So, we don't know just when the bomb will be set off.

What we do know is that an underwater test will be conducted near Eniwetok atoll in Pacific waters and that military officials particularly want to learn more about underwater transmission of shock at depths great enough to confine the violence below the surface. All that officials in-the-know will say for the record is simply that plans have been completed for exploding atomic bomb number six.

Every Evening Except Sunday and Legal Day Wire Service Received From United May Avert Rail Strike Presidential Board Recommends Hourly Wage Boost. (By the United Press) A presidential emergency board! has made up its mind about one of the big labor -management disputes in the nation. It recommends a 151-cent hourly pay increase for 150.000 railroaders who threaten to call a nationwide strike. The board urged the increase for engineers, firemen and switchmen on the nation's railroads and recommended that it be retroactive to last November 1st.

Such an increase would put the three rail unions on the same level with all other railroad employees who have accepted A 15 hourly boost. Some informed quarters say the pay recommendation may not be enough to avert a strike. They say that unless a pay hike of at least 18 cents an hour is recommended and certain other benefits granted, the engineers, firemen and switchmen walk out in 30 days. The fact-finding board recommended pay adjustments to put earnings of yard service employees on a par with other railroad workers who have similar skill and responsibilities. But it reto recommend extra pay for night shifts or Sunday and holiday work.

The report now will be given to the railroads and unions. They will have days in which to attempt to reach an agreement. The board coupled its recommendations with a stinging criticism of railroad-union collective i bargaining negotiations. The board said it was called upon to settle a lot of little details which it thinks the two parties should have been able to work out themselves. The details included demands for 37 working rule changes, wanted either by the railroad unions or by the companies.

In Cleveland, president David Robertson of the brotherhood of locomotive firemen and enginemen won't comment on the board's findings until he reads the full report. But Robertson says he will meet with the heads of the engineers and switchmen's unions Mon. day to discuss the recommendations. Five-hundred employees of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad struck today over a demand for higher Some 72,000 riders are affected.
