And Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich) quoted Air Secretary Talbott as say. ing the.

Air Force "doesn't have in mind the cancelling of any other contracts in Michigan." The cause of it all was a story in Thursday's Detroit News that word had gone out' around the Pentagon Defense Department headquarters to shun the Detroit area on future de fense contracts because of "labor union abuses." The news story quoted unidentified Pentagon sources as saying that "an indifferent labor force" caused the cancellation by the Air Force of a milti-million-dollar contract with Kaiser Motors recently for transport aircraft. The cancellation threw 10,000 out of work at Kaiser's Willow Run plant leaving about 2,000 more engaged in completing planes in the final stages of production when the Air Force halted the contract. The report also stated that Air Force representatives, engaged in surveying conditions in Detroit area plants, told of experienced aircraft workers being bumped off their jobs by less experienced men who happened to have more seniority in the ClO-United Auto Workers Union. Emil Mazey, secretary treasurer of the CIO United Automobile Workers, was among the first to criticize the report. The Michigan Senate passed a resolution asking Congress to investigate Air Force cancellation of its contract with Kaiser Motors and its reported shunning other Michigan contracts because of an indifferent labor force.

WEATHER AT 7 A. M. TODAY Highest last 24 hours. Lowest last night, low Tmprature and of Precipitation Expected 10 v- 1 Commission today temporarily withdrew permission it recently granted Television Station WCIA of Cham paign to move its transmitter closer to Decatur. TV Station WTVP, which is about to start operations on ultra high frequency channel 17 at De catur, has protested that the new lo cation would permit WCIA, on very high frequency' channel 3, to blanket the Decatur area with its signal.

The protest by WTVP, owned by Decatur Prairie Television Com pany, was hied June 19 with the FCC. In its protest, Prairie television asked the Commission to set aside its grant of the application of Midwest Television, owners of WCIA, until "final determination of the protest." Today, the FCC scheduled a hear ing on the protest in Washington lor July 20. WCIA originally proposed transmitter location about 10 miles west of Champaign, near Seymour, In May it obtained permission from the FCC to place the transmitter instead about 14 miles southwest of Champaign, near White Heath. This is 28 miles northeast of Decatur. WTVP said that if the new location is permitted to stand, Decatur residents be discouraged from purchasing UHF receivers and from converting presently-owned VHF receivers to pick up the UHF signal.

It also said economic injury to WTVP will result. Work on transmitter facilities at the White Heath location was suspended by WCIA early this week pending action of the WTVP protest. Work had begun there early in June. At the time work was stopped, m-j nr i 1 ij had been made at the White Heatfi site. This included, besides plans and an 880-foot tower to be especially fabricated for the site, foundation and partially finished walls of a Stock Market Keeps Steady; Few Features New York, July 3 (AP) The stock market idled along today in a steady manner with few-features.

Strauss' first speech as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission has been interpreted by a congressman as a dig at Secretary of Defense Wilson. Strauss, New York financier who was a member of the original atomic commission, took the oath of his' new office Thursday.

Soon thereafter, in a speech commemorating the 30th anniversary of the naval research laboratory he defended the use of government funds for basic scientific research, as distinguished from actual development of weapons. The military technological advances, he said, often come from basic discoveries made 20 or 50 vears earlier. While Strauss mentioned no names, Rep. Price (D-Ill) said in a House speech the AEC chairman seemed to be referring to Wilson who, Price said, has shown "con tempt for pure science.

Long Island Trainmen Out BULLETIN New York, July 3 (AP) An agreement was reached at noon today by railroad and union officials to end a "sick" strike that had cut service on the Long Island Rail Road more than 50 per cent since Thursday midnight. Brotherhood of Railroad trainmen officials immediately appealed to the trainmen to return to their jobs at once. New York, July 3 (AP) A "Sick strike" of trainmen today cut service about 50 per cent on the Long Island Rail Road, busiest commuter line in the world. The strike stranded thousands of persons enroute to work in Manhattan and other thousands enroute to Long Island resorts for 'the July 4th holiday. The railroad said 465 men, members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, had reported "sick" and that it had been forced to cancel 90 trains between 11 p.

m. and 6:40 a. m. the height of the morning rush hour. Between 5 and 7 a.

m. the railroad said it had operated only 115 trains. The railroad said it had received no demands that would be reason for a strike, and a spokesman for the line said union officials stated the action of the trainmen was illegal and unauthorized. Several hundred persons who started early on their Independence Day week-end, jammed the Long Island terminal in Pennsylvania Station and listened glumly to loud speaker announcements cancelling trains. The Long Island on a normal day carries 300,000 fares, including commuters who travel during the morning and evening rush hours.

The creeping paralysis of the road's service led to a closed-door meeting between Harold J. Pryor, chairman of the local union, and railroad officials. Pryor said the men were not satisfied with safety regulations. William Wver, trustee for" the bankrupt railroad, said that "no de Get Out MUD!
