APATHY REIGNS IN MINE CRISIS

Shutdown Seems Certain Yet Officials Hesitate to

oz Take a Hand.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The day grows quickly nearer when the country may wake up to a coal mining strike which would shortly slow |down war production.

Still no federal official or agency has made a move toward what is regarded as the obvious first step toward preventing such a disaster. This would be an appeal or an inducement to John Is Lewis, presidéft of the United Mine Workers, to advance by weeks the beginning of his meetings with bituminouscoal operators with the aim of working out a new wage contract. The meeting is scheduled, by contract, to open Mazch 14 in New York. The present ‘wage agreement expires March 31. Thus only two weeks plus a few days are allotted for proceedings that in past years have required months, have frequently involved long shutdowns, and in almost every case have been ended at last by federal intervention. : Under mine ‘workers policy “miners don’t work without a contract.” Some war industries will begin to close within a week after a general mine shutdown. _ Executive officials and congressional leaders with whom this situation has been discussed agree that the country cannot- suffer a big mine shutdown this year. But none desires to be quoted on what should be done to prevent it.

Agreement Is Doubted

An apparent disinclination among officials to take the leadership is due largely to a hope that the operators and the union will come to terms without federal prodding. The chances of this, according to experts on labor-management relations in coal, are at a minimum this year because Mr. Lewis already has announced a demand for a $2-a-day raise in basic pay. This demand cannot be met without an adjustment of the policies

office of price administration would have to pass on the increased costs to consumers. The national war labor board also is directly concerned because a wage raise of even a fraction of what Mr. Lewis demands would upset the policies it is following in an attempt to prevent inflation. * The eventual participation of federal agencies seems so sure, that questions are increasing as to why federal action is delayed.

In Citizen Case

DETROIT, Feb. 9 (U, P.).—At~ torney General Francis Biddle admitting that he had an “error in judgment,” has ordered {ermination of a government suit charging state Senator Stanley Nowak, Detroit, with falsifying his naturalization oath. Nowak was indicted last. December for allegedly concealing the fact that he was a member of the Communist party when he applied for U. 8. citizenship in 1037. He stood mute at arraignment and has been free on $2000

Biddle said in a statement brought here -by Harry A, Schweinhsut, a justice department attorney, that “the facts are not such as to warrant a criminal prosecution and the attorney general takes the elise responsibility for the error in Judgment, . At Schweinhaut's Toquest, Fed-

Lauds Newsboys In Stamp Sales

Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Newspaper boys throughout the nation and territories sold 566,159,323 10-cent war stamps in 1942, Howard W. Stodghill, chairman of the newspaper advisory committee of the war savings staff, announced today. In revealing this achievement which he said was ‘a splendid contribution to the war effort by newspapers and their staffs.” Chairman Stodghill disclosed that the committee’s objective for 1943 was “the sale of one 10-cent war Stamp every week to every subscriber.” Awards, patterned after the army-navy “E” have been setup for newspapers. Newspapers achieving the new goal of one war stamp per subscriber per week are authorized to display in their editions a treasury department honor “ear,” which is signed by Henry Morgenthau Jr. secretary of the treasury. The “ear” reads that it is awarded the newspaper, its carrier boys and subscribers for their patriotic support of the war savings program.

DIES PREDICTS EASY VICTORY

Doubts More Than 50 Will Oppose Continuance of | His Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 9 (U,P.).— Rep. Martin Dies (D, Tex.) predicted today that not more than 50 of the 435 members of the house would vote against a resolution continuing his un-American activities committee for two years. ’ The house is scheduled to vote on the resolution today. It follows by about a week charges by. Dies that 39 federal employees have subversive connections and coincides with a drive by Dies to withhold appropriations for the fiscal year 1944 for payment of salaries to those employees. “A resolution by Chairman Clarence Cannon (D. Mo.) of the appropriations committee to set up an appropriations subcommittee to investigate Dies’ charges is expected to come before the rules committee today. The subcommittee would weigh the evidence gathered by the Dies committee and hear the defense of those federal employees involved. : . Suspected by Dies

It then could recommend to the house whether the employees should be removed from their jobs, initiating legislation to this effect in regard to appropriations bills, Dies said Cannon’s resolution looked like an effort to defeat an amendment by Rep. Joe Hendricks (D. Fla.) which would deny funds under the treasury and postoffice appropriations bill to William Pickens, Negro treasury employee who was included on the Dies list. The amendment was passed last week ‘by a tentative vote of 163 to 111, but will require final approval

BYRNES IN RADIO SPEECH TONIGHT

New Campaign on Prices And ‘Wage Increases May

Be Revealed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (U. P.).— Stabilization Director James PF. Byrnes is expected tonight to reveal a new administration campaign to hold down prices and to ward off increasing demands for wage increases. The office of war information announced that Byrnes will deliver an important radio address to the people tonight on “the war against inflation.” The braadcast is 'scheduled for 9 p. m. (Indianapolis time) over the _Columbia broadcasting system. It will be Byrnes’ first major radio address since he was designated by President Roosevelt last fall to stabilize prices and wages and to guard against runaway inflation. A preliminary shot in the new administration battle against inflation was fired yesterday by Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown. He proclaimed a new policy of employing “the utmost firmness” in holding down prices. . Wage Clamor Rising

‘Demands for wage increases above those permitted under the war labor board’s “little = steel” formula have been showering on Washington recently from all sides. New York garment workers, mine workers, railroad workers and thousands of others are demanding that they are given more than the 15 per cent above Jan, 1, 1941, wage levels, which could be granted under the little steel formula. One factor which obviously prom the outbreak of wage increase mands was Brown's remark, d a press conference the day after he took office, that an orderly, slow rise in price levels ‘of about one-half of one per cent a month was “unavoidable.” The remark has risen to haunt him many times since. His statement yesternay was a move to offset it.

Lower Chambers Safe. for Reduction of Waste

To War Acids.

Partial use of the city’s 32-cooker garbage reduction plant was authorized today . state boiler inspectors. The inspectors, Lo condemned the cookers as a safety hazard Wednesday, reported that a further check revealed lower compartments of the bi-chambered boilers could be used to reduce waste to its by-

& {products under 40 or 45 pounds of pressure

president, said use of the lower chambers would enabie the city to salvage about 60 .per cent of the grease, glycerin and fatty acids obtained ' from the plant when it

¢ operated at full capacity. Chemicals

extracted from Indianapolis garbages are sold to war industries. While limited use of the cookers will reduce all garbage collected this winter, the usual summer increase in the city’s waste heap will require additional employment of a garbage grinder, Don Bloodgood, sanitation plant superintendent, said. - Meanwhile, housewives were advised by the works board to do one of two things with left-over kitchen fats: either place them in separate containers for pick-up along with

|other garbage; or sell them to meat

dealers for 4 cents a pound.

"By LOUIS F. KEEMLE A United Press War Analyst be Japan's adiniiasion to naving been driven off Guadal} “ canal and out of northeastern New Guinea is an indication that her southward progress in the. Pacific has

reached its limit.

Tt means that the supply line to Australia and New Zealand from the United States has been-freed from : the creeping menace which threatened it as the Japanese edged down through the Solomons, It makes even ‘more Temote the prospect of a Japanese invasion of Australia. The marines and the army men who followed them have achieved

their objective, which initially was defensive. Now with U. S. forces in full control of Guadalcanal, it should be possible to reverse the

Japanese process and sweep north-|

ward through the Solomons to flank New Guinea and eventually drive the Japanese out of the entire Melanesian area. American military and naval men have no illusions about the magnitude of the task. The Japanese are strongly entrenched in the northern Solomons, the islands of the Bismarck archipelago and on New Guinea west of the Buna area, from which they were driven.

Strange ‘Withdrawal’

They are certain to hang on tenaciously, as they did on Guadalcanal and in Papuan New Guinea. The Tokyo communique speaks of “withdrawal” from both places to operate in other theaters. In the case of Buna, the word “withdrawal” is a euphemism for home consumption. The Japanese did not withdraw from Buna. They were wiped out. The same is possibly true of Guadalcanal, where there still may be some Japanese stragglers hiding in
