Truman aims for first ballot at the Democratic convention
Aides push for a Truman first ballot victory as factional talks swirl over Justice William O. Douglas as a potential Democratic opponent. Jacob Arvey and Willian O'Dwyer signal possible Douglas support if Eisenhower is blocked, while James Roosevelt pursues Eisenhower options and Farley cautions against overreliance on the general. The race tests inclusion of noncongressional runners and party unity ahead of a key caucus.

Rail labor case delays any new strike as government eases control
The long process under the Railway Labor Act will delay strike action for months while railroads return to private operation. Government seizure last May halted a planned walkout by the Locomotive Engineers, Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and Switchmen, with anti strike sanctions to be dissolved. Wage talks began after 16 non operating unions sought shorter hours and pay hikes, while the two operating unions demanded a 25 percent raise. The 18 unions had already received a 15.2 cents hourly increase last fall, but the three strike threatening brotherhoods sought changes in operating rules, which the peace plan granted.
