New York Transit Strike Threat Ends

NEW YORK, Jan. 21 — (AP) _ City councilman Michael J. Quill international president of the Transport Workers Union (C.I,O.) said late today there would ho no strike of employees of the city-own- ed transit system,

MP- Quill made the announce- ment after Mayor William O'Dwyer told reporters any proposal to sell the City-owned pc-Irr plants-a plan objected to by Mr, Qu||1_ would have to be submitted to a public referendum.

Sale of the plants would be to Consolidated FYlson company. maior utility firm in this area.

Mr. Quill maintains 1t would coat the city $5,000,000 a year more

buy its power from Consolidated than to manufacture it.

The Board of Transportation said the cost of modernizing the plants would be prohibitive. Cost of such modernization, the board said, is estimated variously from $10,000,000 to $104,000,000 and plans are still being studied.

20 Miles lip. 13.000 Feet Down Are Aims

NEW YORK, Jan. - (AP) _. Two famous scientiaflc brothers. lahlrliéd by half the world. are glam“!!! new trips to record-shat- ! ng levels above and below the earths surface.

Dr. Jean Plccard, professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of hflnnesots, u ouuuhg plans for a balloon ascent of 20 miles into the stratosphere, five miles farther than man hoe ever travelled.

Prof. Augustue Piccsrd, now work- ing in the Swiss homeland on a routine Job, wants to descend in. to the ocean depths to about 13,. 000 feet five times deeper than a human as gone.

The Plccards are twins and both have been known in the past for research with balloon ascents. Brother Auguste's diving device, modelled at Brussels University, wlll be spherical and will consist of a hermetically sealed cabin, weighlns ll tons. and made of steel iates with portholcs of glass 18.4 nches thick to resist tremendous pressures. The cabin is to accom- modate two passengers and the CEVICG is to be motor driven. Auguste has not announced whom he plans to take with him on the descent, but Jean is to be accom- panied by his wife on the trip in he opposite direction.

The present altitude record, 72,- 395 feet was set by Capt. A.W Ste- vens (now Lt.-Col. Rot.) and Capt. 0.11. Anderson (now Maj.-Gen.) in the United States Army-Nation- al Geographic flight from South Dakota l0 years ago.

In the forthcoming flight the Piccards plan to use 100 OO-foot bal- loons made from a non-expanding plastic material. The 100 balloons

.he plans to use will be consider-

ablv lighter and have lifting power, Dr. Pica than a single balloon of capacity.
