braska and Iowa, and minor flood
conditions cropped up in Indiana
and Illinois.
The number of iienioni. afforged

Minnesota rose to 35.000. the Red
Cross reported About 14,000 were)
driven from their homes or in-
eonvenienced in North Dakotu,
and nearly ll.tkk) iri Minnesota
Hundreds of others were roul-
e«t or isolated by the Red River in
' Hie Canadian province of Maoi-

Damage estimates ran into the
Imillions of iloliars
FIimnI conditions extended from
case before Semite investigators.
Browder will testify before a
foreign relations investigating
subcommittee looking into charges
by Sen Joseph R. McCarthy 'R,-
Wis.> that Lattimore is a Com-
munist spy
At the same time it was an-
nounced that Frank Bielaski is
also. tentatively scheduled to ap-
pear tomorrow, but in closed ses-
sion
Bielaski has been identified by
McCarthy as a former office of
strategic services agent who can
produce "important" testimony in |
connection with the 1945 "Amer-1
asia" case involving theft of secret I
govern nietd diplomatic and mill I
lary documents
Senate officials had sought for
cepted subpoena and will testify
Friday.
Failure of the witnesses to ap-
pear forced the subcommittee to
cancel a scheduled public bearing
on McCarthy's charges.
John J. Huber, former FBI in-
formant. was scheduled to testify
last night but failed to show up.
There hod been some speculation
that he might have been a victim
of "foul play* But Huber tele-
phoned his wife at Mount Vernon.

Strike Pending Wage
Conference Outcome
l!x: Hourly
Increase
Demanded
NEW YORK, April 26 .UP»—
A final wage -ettlement between
the \ ,i I t"-ll IVIephulie System
and its unionized workers seemed
within their grasp today
Negotiators im tne American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
puny and its 2I.'MHI long lilies
worker* met for w-hat appeared
to be one of the last negotiating
sessions on wage increase de
mantis that for a time threatened
to tie up the nation's telephones.
A settlement of tfte long lines
demands for a 15-cent-an-hour
wage increase would probably
provide the formula for a settle-
ment with all other divisions of
the Communication Worker of
America 'CIO'. So close were the
negotiators to settlement that the
strike threat seemed definitely
evaporated.
Optimism also prevailed on
another front of the disnute—
that involving Western F.lectrtc
Company, A. T. and T.'s manu-
facturing subsidiary, and 11,000
WE installation workers who
went on strike Monday.
Ernest Weaver, president of tlie
CWA division embracing the in-
stallation workers, saw the pos-
sibility of a settlement tonight
or tomorrow after a morning -'em
ference with company negotiators.
The conference began at 10-30
a m . only eight and a half hours
after a long night session.
Weaver said the "company had
made no specific wage offer, but
was willing to talk money. . as
you know we just got down to
serious talking last night.”
Weaver had Instructed the
striking installers not to estab-
lish picket lines and be made
clear that these instructions were
"on a day-by-day basis.” Unless
the strikers hear from him bv
late afternoon each day, they'll
picket the next day, he said.
But. he added, so long 4s the
negotiations progressed favorably
he'd issue the no-picketing order
daily. The point was Important
because picket lines around the
telephone exchanges might tie up
the phone system as much as a
full scale strike would, since all
phone workers would be expected
to respect the line-;
The union called off the strike
'• The long lines
unit said then that "no strike is-
sues remain.''
