Transit Strike Vote to Be Taken Continued from Page 1 doubt concerning the legality of such a setup, Mayor Returns Monday Mayor O'Dwyer, who has cut short a rest in California on his brother's ranch, will return to his desk Monday, when the situation will probably be at its worst. His decision to return, it was learned, was largely prompted by a telephone conversation with Philip A. Murray, C. I. O.

president, who had conferred with Quill on Thursday in Washington. Quill, who has faced many showdown with the city in labor disputes with varied success, paid a visit yesterday to the deputy mayor, Thomas L. J. Corcoran, at City Hall. There he told Mr.

Corcoran that he had gotten "good reaction" Thursday from conference with Mr. Murray in Washington. He left City Hall in high spirits, referring all questions to the demonstration this morning at 250 Hudson St. Says Union Must Fight The first reaction to the board's action yesterday came from Austin Hogan, president of Local 100 of the T. W.

who declared that the union had no alternative "but to fight it out to the bitter end." Chairman Gross and Commissioner Sullivan, he said, "had declared war on the 32,000 transit employes and the people of New York Oity." He said that acceptance of the labor conditions sugested by the advisory committee "would have guaranteed continuous and uninterrpted service on the transit system." Mayor O'Dwyer has made it clear that he is determined to meet any strike, if it is called, with police action to keep the lines running. Police Commissioner was going over the last details plan framed to meet such a situation. Furthermore, the board's action is in accord with the Mayor's previously expressed policy, which frowns on exclusive bargaining rights for any union of city employes. Supreme Court Justice James B.

PREDICTS EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF ALL WAR DEAD Father Pavone, who became a priest 20 years ago, his religious duties with combined, talents early in his priesthood, writing cantatas, music for masses and conducting concerts, and operas both heer and abroad. Shortly after ordination in Bari in 1926, Father Pavone organized a chorus and traveled through southern Italy, giving concerts of liturgical music. He has conducted operas for the benefit of the parish school for the past years and has appeared in Toronto, Syracuse, Scranton and other cities throughout the country for various chairtable agencies. Has Led Same Orchestra 6 Yrs. The orchestra Father Pavone led last night is the same one he has been using in school benefits for past six years.

He tries to keep the same musicians, he said, because the more the leader gets to about his men, and vice versa, the better the performance. als in the cast, 35 members There were some non- professionFather Pavone's church chorus, who gave a good account of themselves. The entire performance well received and there were numerous encores, but never was the applause warmer than that for the composer-conductor-priest who drew high praise even from Alfredo Selmaggi, Brooklyn grand opera impresario, who was in the audience. Draws Byrnes' Fire Continued from Page 1 reporters interpreted his remarks yesterday Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of air forces, had disavowed Irvine's remarks as those of a "junior officer." Irvine said "the quotations in the news story in question consist of a number of personal ideas and rumors not expressed by me and put together by a reporter." He added that "the news story had not been read by me prior to release." Spaatz ordered an immediate investigation of Irvine's purported claim to have been invited to the White House to discuss a B-29 flight with President Truman, Spaatz and Assistant Secretary of War for Air W.

Stuart Symington. He said Irvine's only reason for visiting the White House was to be congratulated for the Dreamboat's HawaiiCairo flight and added: "Neither Mr. Symington nor I nor any member of the air forces has discussed with White House at any time any proposed flight." Flight Plan Postponed Air forces plans for a round-theworld flight of B-29s were announced publicly by Symington Oct. 8, who said the flight would be made "if the State Department approves." Russia was not mentioned as a stopping place. The whole idea since has been indefiniely postponed, reportedly due to State Department objection.

State Department officials considered such a flight might add to international tension at a time when Mr. Byrnes was seeking major big diplomatic agreements. It was said the navy's cruises in the Mediterranean did not meet with similar objections since the navy talked them over in advance and except for Halsey's remarks did not make accompanying "stick-waving" statements.

Arranged the Date Gage Tollner's at 374 Fulton two blocks from Mr. McDonald's office, having proved acceptable, the District Attorney, accompanied by a bevy of detectives and assistants, stood outside the restaurant and, sure enough, nattily Collins stepped out of a cab on the dot of his promised appearance p.m. There was no fuss. Hundreds of shoppers passing by on busy Fulton St. didn't have the faintest idea of what was going on.

Collins stepped brisky up to Mr. McDonald, stuck out his hand and said: "I'm Jimmy Collins. Hello, Mr. McDonald. I'm ready go, but I'd like a cup of coffee The whole party went inside the quiet restaurant, Mr.

McDonald and Collins sat down and the detectives and assistants melted away. Joins Old Pal Waxey Everyone had a good lunch and went back to Mr. McDonald's office, where all this time a pal of Collins and a character in his own right, Waxey Gordon, alias Irving Wexler, whose bootlegging activities won him fame during the prohibition days, had been lolling about. Gordon had been brought in by detectives from his home at 1 St. Paul's Court, earlier in the day for questioning.

Whether Collins and Gordon had the script all worked out and rehearsed wasn't known, but the first call, warning Mr. McDonald that Collins would call in a half hour, came in only a few minutes after Gordon chestily offered to bet Assistant District Attorney Julius Helfand-giving any odds- that Collins would give himself up within a week. Gordon was released later in the day, without giving any real information other than admitting that he knew Collins. However, when photographers were "shooting" Mr. McDonald, Collins and Mr.

Helfand, Gordon stuck his head around a corner and remarked to Assistant District At- torney John E. Cone: Taunts Cone on Bet "See, sucker? You wouldn't take my bet!" Mr. Cone wanted to know how Gordon knew Collins would surrender. "Well," mused the over -stuffed ex-beer baron, "you just put 12 and 12 together. This caper has put too much heat on too many people.

AND 4TH AVE. Dteective Alevoll, who lives with his family at 7003 14th helped to develop, in almost 12 years with the Bureau of Missing Persons Unidentified Branch, methods which successfully identified about 5,000 dead persons a year. When the army began the, enormous task of transferring its dead from graves all over Europe's battlegrounds into national cemeteries, they picked Aievoli for the intircate task of indentifying soldier unknowns. He sailed for France in April of this year, on a 120-day leave from the New York City Police Department which was later extended to seven months. His job was to train GI teams in such techniques as post-mortem fingerprinting, preparation of tooth charts and analysis of all evidence in the way of scars, marks, tattooing, clothing and other property identifications.

Later, he himself assisted in difficult identification. It is Aievoli's contention that by the time the army completes its ambitious task, which entails the processing for identification purposes of all bodies, that those of almost all soldiers whose whereabouts are unknown -with the exception of those whose bodies were completely destroyed in combat will be located. In one instance, he related that identification was completed solely through marks on the uniform since the body itself was too decomposed. The identification of another soldier was made possible by the discovery of a ring which had falled off finger and was found by sifting the sand of his grave. Handlers Ordered To Increase Milk Shipments to City Federal, State and city officials today had taken steps to assure a continuous flow of milk to school children.

After Health Commissioner Welnstein had revealed that the Board of Education's milk program was in peril as the season of "short supply" approached, Dr. C. J. Blanchard, administrator of the New York area, issued orders requiring milk handlers ship 90 percent of their output to the city, beginning today. During the week ending Oct.

31,1 only 83.1 percent of the output had been sent. The order was expected to east a tense school situation in which dealers were reluctant to place bids school contracts because of inability to obtain sufficient milk. It was approved at a meeting of handlers, producers, consumers, various public officials and manufacturers of by-products in the Hotel Commodore yesterday. Opposed by Cheese Makers Objections to the order came from manufacturers of cheese and sour cream, who contended that the diversion of additional milk to the city market would cut down the supply advailabe to them. On the meat reported front, the that Department prices had varied very little for the week, and that they were still slightly above former ceilings.

Beef prices have dropped sharply since the skyrocketing following decontrol. Prospects for an end to the whole meat oversupply were seen with the comment of Deputy Markets Commissioner Arthur Dunaif that "there seems to be better buying than before." possible for the United Nations to agree on a workable, refugee program. But Vishinsky must concede the right of other delegates to disagree with some of the Soviet points of view. "Unless the right of opposition is conceded," she said, it seems to me that there is very little possibility that countries with different conceptions of democracy can live together without friction in the same world." 'chided Russia for calling refugees Fascists because they refused to return to their now Soviet-dominated homelands. "As Mr.
