CASEY The four-year $60,000 study of Greater Boston's rapid transit needs by a special Legislative commission has brought forth a $100,000,000 plan (on the basis of today's costs) to give speedy electric-train service to the surrounding 29 cities and towns largely populated by Boston workers. Initial action of the plan would be to complete public ownership of the Boston Elevated and put it under a newly-created public transit authority to serve as the nucleus of the huge transportation project. The recommended extensions of the present rapid transit system are doubled in cost, although not in scope, over the projects urged by the same commission in 1945. But the recommendations include so-called "luxury projects." such as removal of the elevated structure to Forest Hills and between North Sta dB tion and Sullivan which has added 25 percent to the estimated cost. (Luxury items, the commission points out, can be eliminated without hurting the effectiveness of the over-all program.) The eight major rapid transit routes studied and recommended in the 1945 report have been expanded to 10.

Important changes in the over-all plan, which has just been submitted to the Legislature, include elimination of the proposed service to Watertown and adding a route to serve Belmont and Waltham.

Lewis and the government squared off tonight for a renewal of open warfare and early reports from the nation's coal fields indicated the mine leader will be backed by the almost solid refusal of his 400,000 followers to ga back to the pits Monday. The saggy-maned chieftain of the United Mine Workers fired the opening shot in the new contest when he asked Lhat all 'but two of the country's 2531 soft coal mines remain closed until they are guaranteed safe. His request was promptly rejected by the Coal Mines Administration. Despite the rejection, it was apparent that the one-week work stoppage, called by Lewis as a memorial to the 111 miners killed in the Centralia, mine disaster, will be extended indefinitely after the mourning period ends at midnight Sunday.

U. M. W. district officials, themselves caught off guard by the sudden Lewis move, were cautious in predicting the actions of their memb2rs. But reports from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky gave definite indications that little coal will be mined next week.

Beirne, president of the National Federation of Telephone Workers, tonight flatly rejected a proposal that the nationwide telephone strike scheduled to begin Monday be postponed for one week. The Beirne statement was made after Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach said he still was hopeful of averting the threatened strike. Schwellenbach appealed to telephone workers not to jump the gun by walking out before the deadline. Labor Department officials reported "no substantial 'progress" after four hours of conferences between the American Union of Telephone Workers and the long distance department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Similar statements were made in regard to conferences between the Southwest Bell Telephone Company and the South. western Telephone Workers' Union. Both groups will resume negotiations at the Labor De. partment at 10 a. m.

In the foreign field, he proclaimed "we must" aid "those peoples whose freedoms are endangered by foreign pressures." And he specified aggression "secretly by infiltration" as well as openly by armed force.

"We must take a positive stand. It is no longer enough merely to say 'we don't want We must act in time ahead of timeto stamp out the smoldering beginnings of any conflict that may threaten to spread over the world." At home, he termed the Republican economy drive in Congress "an invitation to disaster," rallied the Democrats against immediate tax cuts and economies he called tfalse," and earnestly besought lower prices.

William Fuller, chief meteorologist at Hartford, said that the expected rainfall will probably bring the Connecticut River's level up five to seven feet by late Monday still below danger level.
