The major arteries in that) area were jammed solid with) cars moving bumper to bumper. East-end residents normally use the city's subway system to reach the downtown business sector. TRAFFIC IS SNARLED It was in the centre of the city itself that workers found themselves most involved in slow-moving traffic snarls. Today, they all seemed to have arrived in the downtown area at the same time. Commuters from south- western suburbs probably had the easiest time of it as they aid to the centre of the city by rain. | Reacting quickly when the |strike appeared headed into its jsecond day, the CPR, which jruns nine trains between the downtown area and these lake- shore suburbs, announced Thursday night it was adding Jextra cars to its inward and Oubward bound trains. | Philippe de Gaspe Beaubien, Expo's director of operations, accused the workers of violat- when they took the buses and subway trains that travel to the fair site out of service. $2,000,000 a week in revenues while site might lose at a rate of $5,- 000,000 a week if the strike con- tinues. Mr. Pepin told a press confer- ence he would examine "very closely" the position of the five transit unions involved as regards Expo. But he added: "When the MTC asked its employees last May to sign the no-work-stoppage agreement with Expo, only the Expo Express was involved in that| agreement." | Both the Expo Express and! the Minirail, Expo's on-site} modes of mass transportation, were running Thursday. Floodwaters Isolate Million Persons CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. (AP)--Rampaging floodwaters from Hurricane Beulah's 30- inch rains roared in streams and rose in. cities in South Texas today, isolating nearly 1,000,000 persons, The drenched area in Beu- lah's aftermath was vast, cov- ering some 40,000 square miles of South Texas, with about one- twelfth of the state's population isolated in cities, towns and farms.

Pettus, north of Corpus Chris- ti, reportel--by a ham radio operator--that water was seven feet deep in parts of town. The weather bureau predicted floods of as much-as 17 feet for some South Texas rivers. For hundreds of square miles Beulah's devastation was heightened by water. Formerly Torrents also pounded vast reaches of Northern Mexico adjoining the Texas devastation area, Nationa) guard and navy vehicles pushed through flood- waters early today for work in Sinton, Falfurrias and Pettus, Tex., the scenes of major flooding. Beulah's death toll was I d fro dnesday--a dry creeks became raging _riv- ers. Flat areas were flooded. The weather bureau said the deluges would continue for up to 48 hours. Federal and state officials made a preliminary estimate of $500,000,000 in damage. * Corpus Christi, a coastal city of 200,000, was completely sealed off by floodwaters late) total of 30, including four killed Thursday night. British Voters Discard Labor In Byelections LONDON (CP)--Grumbling, dissatisfed voters dealt Prime Minister Wilson's Labor party a double blow in two byelections that went to the Conservatives, including Clement Attlee's old seat that had been held by the Socialists for 38 years. While Wilson, with his big majority, can afford this slow eating-away of his parliamen- tary power, party workers, shocked by the extent of Thurs- day's voting loss, concluded bit- terly they would have poor pickings as long as_ Wilson maintained his save-the-pound austerity program.

Tory-supporting newspapers gloated that the people had given Wilson two black eyes. Walthamstow West, Attlee's old seat, was the more shattering defeat for Labor which held it in the 1966 general election with a majority of 8,725. Cambridge, the university centre, was taken by Labor in 1966 with a tiny 991 edge. BLEAK OUTLOOK While Wilson still has a majority of 86 in the 630-seat Commons, his men conceded that the polls outlook for future byelections is none too hopeful.

U.S. ASKS CHANGE _ (AP Wirephoto) QI ee By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States is asking North Vietnam to change its gram- mar by using "would" instead of 'could' to get peace talks started. But when the two sides get on the subject of peace talks, and how to start them, it's like dropping a rock into a well. There's a clunk sound. More rocks, more clunks, They all sound the same, without end. Arthur J. Goldberg, US. ambassador to the United Nations, made a speech there Thursday on what's needed to get negotiations going. It was really the same speech he made there a year ago except that this one was a little fan- cier. Just a year ago today he said the U.S. was prepared to stop bombing the North and cut down on all its military activity "the moment we are assured privately or otherwise" that the North would cut 'down on its own effort. Thursday, Goldberg noted that in the past Hanoi had said negotiations 'could' occur if thp U.S. bombing stopped. But = r "could" is a vague word and Goldberg asked the North to be more positive. BACKING DOWN He asked Hanoi to say it "would" talk peace if the U.S, stopped its bombing. This might seem the. U.S. had backed down a bit, that it had dropped 'a previous condition it wanted met if the bombing was stopped. That is: Hanoi must match an end to U.S. bombinst by de-escalating its end of the war. But not quite. Goldberg laid down the same condition this SAME RESULT 'Sam | 7 Peace Talks Hinge On Would, Could time, too, but in language that was a little more scrambled and therefore sounded softer. Thursday, he asked if North Vietnam thought an end to the bombing would or could lead to "meaningful negotiations or discussions under circumes stances which would not disad- vantage either side?" What does that mean in plain English? Simply this: the John- son administration has repeat- edly said in the past that if it stopped the bombing the North must also reduce its war effort. So anothing. has changed much just the language, 2 ,.In THE TIMES Today ..
