U.S. Acts to Halt Strike Against Coastal Shipping New York, June 14--(AP)--The United States Justice Department went into action today in an effort | to obtain federal court injunctions staving off a country-wide maritime strike scheduled for tomorrow night. Joseph M. Friedman, special as- sistant to Attorney-General Tom Clark, said he would "almost cer- tainly" apply today to the United | States District Court here for an | Justice Department Saturday to, | seek court orders, as 'provided by injunction under the Taft-Hartle, Labor Act to put off the threatene strike for about 80 days. Court moves may be made in other cities also, and the Depart- | ment of Justice may ask "other things in addition to injunctions declined, however, to discuss these angles. ' Meanwhile, further mediation sessions were scheduled here today. The strike, which would tie up most ships on all coasts, has been threatened by seven unions rep- resenting more than 100,000 seamen and shore workers. Friedman was assigned by Clark after President Truman told the law when the Presidént finds that a "national emergency" = strike threatens national health or safety. A report by an inquiry board, made public at the White House U.K. Paper Claims Russ Jet Planes Can Do 750 mph London, June 14--(AP) -- The Daily Mail said Saturday the Rus- sians have developed an experimen- tal jet plane with a "top speed ap- proaching 760 miles an hour." That is only three miles less than the speed of scund under standard conditions -- at sea level and 59 de- grees fahrenheit. It is faster than the speed of sound at high altitudes an ( lower temperatures. "Intelligence reports," the Mail said, show "Russia's jet-propelled warplanes already number several hundreds, and that the rate of pro- duction is being stepped up." The paper said many people on both sides of the Atlantic 'hink Bri- tain made a mistake in seliing 50 Rolls-Royce turbo-jet engines, mostly Nenes, to Russia about a year ago. It says Russian techni cians, "clever copyists," no doubt are learning much from these.

An 82-car freight train drawn by two diesel locomotives collided with a 24-car steam freight at slow .peed. Norman-¥errow, 27, of Belleville, ® Ont., lost his life after leaping from the train. The brakeman was just rising to his feet when he was pin- ned beneath a surging mass of bawling cattle, sheep and pigs and died of suffocation. More than 20 animals were killed outright and others, badly hurt, had to be killed later. Eleven cars were derailed on the Canadian National Railways tracks, only 50 feet from an overhead bridge on a busy city street. A. J. Lomas, Toronto manager of the C.N.R. said the cause of the collision is being investigated. Hurt in the crash were engineers John Foster, 61, of Belleville and James Potts of Toronto. Also injur- ed slightly was Walter Motychico of Toronto, believed to have been a crew member of the Potts train. Scene of the crash was one of noi- sy confusion as the animals scream- ed in pain. One bull, apparently un- hurt, was at large for an hour be- fore police killed him with seven slugs from a rifle and two blasts of a shotgun. Before this, he alarm- | ed the eighborhood and almost cau- sed the death of a woman camera enthusiast. She barely got back in- to her house before the frenzied animal sank a horn in the door frame. Cars that fell down the embank- ment ripped out hydro and tele- phone wires and poles. and forced re-routing of traffic.
