These included the state department of public safety, the state department of health and others. Precautions were being taken to prevent a possible outbreak of disease following the breakdown of water and sewage systems. Communication with the storm- ravaged areas was poor both because of damaged equipment and the telephone strike. Demanfc Kef The southwestern Bell Telephone company today rejected a union to send striking operators and repair crews back to work in the tornado area because the company said the union inserted demands it could not accept These included a demand that the company call of all supervisory em- ployes now manning switchboards and performing maintenance, and that the union be allowed to determine what constitutes an emergency in the entire five state area in whidi the company operates. The state police at Austin, said-communications were "very bad." Strong Wind J.

L. Swindle, editor of the Pampa (Tex) Daily News, said the storm was the worst in Panhandle history. He said residents were still stunned. He said the wind was so strong that it alone mutilated many of the bodies found today. Two persons known to have been together at Glazier, when the tornado truck were found dead miles apart Heavy highway construction equipment was twist- edout of shape, buildings were gutted and onlv one in the town remained standing.

H. C. Carnahan, Woodward wholesale drug representative, said the storm struck with ''a loud swishing noise, like the rush of escaping steam." Everything Moving "We could see automobiles, barrels and merchandise of all kinds whipping up the street. He said all windows of a four storv hotel were shattered on its south side, that the top of a drugstore had been blown off, an apartment unroofed, and that he had to climb trees and debris to reach his home. He said the storm lasted possibly ten minutes, but "it may have been all over in just three.

It happened so fast." Relief workers poured into the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle. Red Cross, the U. S. army, the Sal ration army and other agencies hurried relief and rescue parties. Several groups left Amarillo while others were reported enroute from other towns in the Panhandle.

o-Peace Offer Strikes Snag (Coatuwei freaa Page 1) He said it represented the company's "final offer" on the union's LO major demands. It was understood that the company proposal includes national arbitration of the long distance workers' four money demands and a settlement of the union's SK other demands, Only Long The money demands involved are (1) a 12 weekly general wage increase; (2) elimination of area differentials; (3) reduction of the promotion schedule from eignt to five yean for the top brackets; and, (4) town classifications. G. S. Dring, assistant vice president of A.

Key Walkout The long lines union, which represents 20,000 of the 325,000 idle telephone workers, has been re garded as a key to the walkout which has seriously crippled long distance and non-dial phone service across the country. Both company and union officials emphasized that the partial agreement did not mean an end to the strike but only provided a basis for a possible settlement in the near future. Their progress minimized any possibility that President Truman would announce White House intervention at his news conference today.

Not Optimists In Washington, union officials warned against too optimistic interpretation of the progress in the long lines negotiations. John J. Moran, president of the NFTW long lines affiliate, said his 20,000 members would not return to work until a settlement was reached with the NFTW's other striking affiliates. Federal Conciliation Director Edgard L. Warren said that while he appreciated the partial agreement did not mean a strike settlement, "it is a long step forward." The NFTW's 49-member policy committee was expected to take the long-lines proposal under consideration at its meeting this morning.

Union sources declined to predict what the committee's attitude would be 81 1-ocal Issues The ATfcT and its, long distance employes reached agreement on 81 "local" issues while Moran said "substantial progress' had been made on the 10 national issues. The proposal provided machinery to settle by arbitration the 10 big natmnai issues. They include union demands for a $12 weekly wage increase, improved pensions and vacations, elimination of area pay differentials, union shop and dues checkoff. WASHINGTON, April --The nolicy committee of the national Federation of Telephone Workers today recommended a New Jersey telephone strikers stay off the job in defiance of a two-day-old law curbing utility strikes.

Nine Killed In e' Mine (Coattmwd Iran 1) that Lewie and the UMW have taken advantage of the situation" created by the Centralia, mine disaster so its to call a soft coal strike as they had originally planned. He was referring to the "memorial" shutdown throughout the soft coal fields last week, and to the partial "safety strike" this week which has kept production far below normal.

Scores Lewis "The court could not today say the $2,800,000 rightfully could be returned, as the supreme court might not feel its mandate has been obeyed," Goldsborough said. He castigated Lewis as "utterly contemptuous" of the court. He said he did not question Lewis' "sincere grief" at the death of 111 miners in the Centralia disaster. But he said there is evidence that Lewis took advantage of the situation in order to bring about an April 1 soft coal strike against the government which the federal courts farbade him to call. Delayed Too Long At no time prior to April 1, Goldsborough said, did Lewis question the safety of the mines.

He made no mention of mine safety until just before the memorial holi day for the Centralia miners ex pired, Goldsborough noted. Although he granted the government motion for a two-week delay, Goldsborough suggested that a decision on whether the miners hac complied with the supreme court mandate be delayed until July 1. assertion that Lewis delayed his safety pleas too long followed similar statements by Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug.

Krug tld a senate committee investigating the Centralia disaster that the UMW has an "almost unbroken record of neglect" in promoting mine safety. Cline Term Fixed at from 9 to 129 Years SAN FRANCISCO, April 1 Leonard Cline, 58-year- old wooer of wealthy widows and associate of a number of elderly persons who died under mysterious circumstances, must serve a nine- term for forgery, the state district court of appeals ruled today. During the first three days of the strike the girls were ordered to cross picket lines, if they saw fit, and report for their jobs. The union announced that this stand was necessary to protect its it was engaged in a dispute with an VFTW affiliate over iurtadbctienaJ representation and that a national labor relations board election-had not determined their representative. Decision was left up to the individual operators.

In the southern end of the county the operators reported for work. Burlingame refused to cross the lines. At South San Fran- dace the number of operators dwindled day by day until yesterday there were about 30 per cent working. Protect Made Attitude of the operators' leadership in opposition to the strike resulted in a protest to San Francisco CIO council by NFTW leaden. Until actual bargaining agent is determined by the ballot not yet completed, the operators are reeog- niatd as a CIO union.

On the heels of the protest from NFTW, an independent union, the CIO council last night distributed the order to the operators in Mifs De Martini's name. Officials of CIO claim the operators' membership in CIO is 12,000. Other unions dispute this. Mateo county members of the United Brotherhood of Telephone Workers met last night at. Palo Alto and San Jose and decided to continue their policy of observing the picket lines.

SAN FRANCISCO, April --Telephone service in Northern California and parts of Nevada was sharply restricted today, and almost exclusively on an emergency basis in the San Francisco bay area, as CIO switchboard workers failed to report for work. The restriction was the result of an appeal last night by the San Francisco CIO council, in behalf of Marie DeMartini, head of American Communications association, local 120 (CIO), for members to respect picket lines by the striking National Federation of Telephone Workers (Independent). Strike Ban Bill Passage Seen (Continued from Page 1) committee approval by Saturday and house passage by the end of next-week. As originally drafted by Republican members of the labor committee, the bill was even more drastic. It would have completely outlawed the closed shop --or any variation--and permitted indefinite court injunctions against unions striking vital industries.

Bill Goes Too Far But a series of last minute changes were made during a daylong conference with the GOP steering committee. The change; were designed to meet the objections of some Republicans who thought the bill went too far. The principal compromise, while retaining the ban on the closed shop, would permit the milder 'un ion shop" contract when demands by a majority of the employes and employers had no objections.
