with the United States on the Chi-

The British intentions were
sketched shortly after a foreign
office spokesman said the govern-
ment would consult with all Com-
monwealth and Atlantic Pact coun-
tries before making its decision.
Informed sources emphasized that
Britain would not act alone. They
said the government’s policy now

000,000 men idle by steel and coal
pension strikes. .
The 78 000 hard coal miners went
back to work in the eastern Penn-
sylvania fields to relieve a crowing
coal shortage along the eastern sea-,
board. The men were ordered back
by United Mine Workers officials in
fear that a prolonged strike would
kill off the anthracite market.
Re-opening of the anthracite
mines will not ease the shortage of

[ steel and coal are not good.
' Every business and industry in the
country eventually will be affected if
the strikes in the two basic indus-
' tries continue. * 'r
Government officials said they were
virtually powerless to ease the
spreading impact. The strikes, oc-
curring simultaneously for the first
time in history, packed the greatest
single wallop ever dealth the Ameri-
! can economy.
Both strikes, which cost nearly
900,000 steel and ocal workers $11,-
000.000 a day in wages, started oyer
pension disputes. Government in-
tt.rventoin in the coal dispute ap-
peared unlikely, but Federal Concili-
ation Chief Cyrus Ching was ex-
pected to try to mediate the steel
issues again sometime this week.
The three-day-old CIO United
Steel Workers strike was costing the
steel industry an estimated $20,000 -

was losing $100,000,000 daily in busi-
ness as a result of the two-week-old

G. I. bus driver heeded a shouted
command to “turn left” and drove
in front of a highballing passenger
train, a survivor said today.
The dead included 11 airmen, five
girls, and the chaperone who ac-
companied them on a beach party
from March Air Force Base.
Five persons were listed as in-
jured, at least one in serious con-
dition.

Sgt. Peter A. Grisolia, 21, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., said the bus driver,
another airman, was unsure of the
way and that the laughing, joking
passengers had shouted directions.
“People would yell out, ‘turn left,’,
or ‘turn right,’ ” Grisolia said. “Just
before we were hit someeone said,
‘turn left,” and I closed by eyes be-
cause I was sleepy.”
Then he was thrown from the
bus by the crash.
The bus driver, identified tenta-
tively as Gordon C. Crimin, was
pinned in the wreckage and torches
had to be used to cut his body free.
Hall said he was picking up speed
after clearing Ontario when, the
bus appeared at the grade crossing
near Ontario international airport.
The bus stopped, he said, and then
started “creeping slowly forward to-
