Ntarly Completed Bridge af Ketreaf Just Stands Waiting for River to Drop and Stay Low
With two approacbes and all but one »pan completed, Retreat Bridge is expected to be ready sometime in the next two months. Final woric, however, depends on the Susquehanna River reach¬ ing a lower level and lAaying that way long enough to permit completion of the final span, which was once scheduled for December, 1950.
The high water also demolished a temporary wooden bridge paralleling the new span and has interfered with operation of the ferry, which haa been able to run only about a half-dozen days since November.
To insure access to the Retreat HospiUl, Pennsylvania Railroad ofUcials were prevailed upon last week to continue the operation of a train  passing Retreat until the bridge is completed.
The mountain road is in bad shape, according to Retreat officials and litUe relief is in sight with a possibility of three months of unseasonable weather ahead.

When Talks Breaks Down;
Settlement Still Possible
WASHINGTON — Negotiations between the Brotherhood of Rail¬ road Trainmen and the nation's carriers were recessed suddenly last night when an unexpected hitch prevented an anticipated agreement on a new contract
Just a few moments before the recess, W. U Horning, chairman of the eastern carriers' conference committee, had informed newsmen "there is a pretty good chance ofj a settlement tonight." Settlement Possible
Neither party would say what the hitch was that developed, and neither group ruled out a possi¬ bility of a settlement soon. No new meeting was scheduled, but both parties were told to stand by for a call at ony moment.

Their statement said that such a move would be "grossly unfair to white collar and professional men and women and to those with fixed incomes.

Before the threat raised by the electrical workers, informed labor sources had predicted Economic Stabilizer Eric A. Johnston would revise the formula tomorrow to provide more money for the na¬ tion's flO.OOO.OOO employed.
Guidance for this prediction came from Defense C^lef Charles E. Wilson who said in a nationwide broadcast Friday night that the controversial 10 per cent formula is being changed "in the best in* terests of the entire economy."
