Going U WASHINGTON, June 1.—Ride three flights up on moving stairs in a hall well of dark green marble, make a quick turn to the left, and you're in the OPA press room. This i§ where handouts about price in-
creases flutter down these days like blossoms from a plum tree. Plum prices have been removed from governmental control, I never did see such a welter of mineograph paper, inundating the desks of the reporters, falling on the floors, filling the wastebaskets, and mostly having to «0 with higher costs of things. You've read about butter going up 11 cents a pound and cheap shoes 10 to 15 per cent. And about the price of automobiles being hiked three times and milk reaching 16 cents a quart in Washington. The OPA experts were worrying about the John L. Lewis truce maybe raising the cost of coal 35 cents a ton, but I tried not to talk to them. I just dived into a welter of their announcements of the last couple of weeks—and hold on to your pocketbooks . . . Price regulations have been lifted from anchovies, frozen fish cakes, dehydrated banana powder, Chinese water chestnuts papaya juice, canary seed, nutmeg, fish food, truffles, coat hangers, fly swatters, and hair clippers. And maybe that is why the local barbers raised the price of hair cuts here today to $1.

Aviation
A U. 8. ARMY AIR FORCE general predicts the next war will be a forty-minute blitz. First, an attack by guided missiles; second, an attack by manned aircraft; third, landing of -airborne troops; and fourth, landing of airborne supplies. There is no question about this being the complete pattern of the real blitz in the next war. In the last war we saw all these pieces of the modern warfare puzle used separately or tied onto whatever land or sea forces happehed to be available. A real blitz strategy would move~all these pieces into position to form a complete pattern. Any nation committed to such a real air blitz faces not only a gigantic manpower training program and a mass production problem, but far greater task of co-ordinating combat forces. Any such co-ordination necessarily involves full scale practice maneuvers—experimental field operations of such dimensions that necessarily would acquaint the population with “their government's commitment to the strategy of the real blitz. And since surprise is the basic requisite for a successful blitz, such a nation would have to establish an absolute censorship—a completely impervious iron curtain —betwen itself and the rest of the world" We couldn't get away with preparing for such a blitz even if we wanted to.

HYDE PARK (Friday).—As I was leaving the United Nations meeting last Tuesday, a newspaperwoman stopped me to ask if there was a cleavage in the Human Rights commission on the subject of the report made by the subcommission on the status of women.

Some of us felt the report, because it was the work of a nuclear subcommission operating under very definite terms of reference, perhaps had covered too much ground and gone into too much detail.

Labor
Strike Is Over, But Coal Mine
Quarrel Lives
By FRED W, PERKINS WASHINGTON, June 1.-—The coal strike is settled for the period
of government operation,
But the controversy between the mine owners and John L. Lewis will not be ended until both parties sign a new contract. . More trouble could come before that is accomplished, Neither party today showed any inclination to haste in signing up. An operator spokesman predicted it would be at léast a week before full effect of the government cone tract is determined. Thus Interior Secretary Krug will have the coal mines, or most of them, on his hands for 10 days or more,
. » » IN ADDITION, there is no legal or other certainty that Mr. Lewis will agree to the operators’ taking over on the same terms as the gove ernment contract. 7 Significance was placed on his statement that the contract was for the period of government operation, He could demand better terms from the operators than he got from the government, and to avers further strikes the governmensg would have to hold onto the mines, The mine worker leader signed up with the operators under the terms of a contract worked out by the government, That was in wartime when controls were stricter. Today there is nothing to compel him to go in either direction, An operator spokesman admitted this situation exists, and coupled with it the statement that similarly there is nothing to compel the mine owners to accept the government contract. He did not mention that until . they do accept they're no$ likely to get their properties back, .
» » REASONS FOR operators’ hesle tancy in asking Mr. Lewis to grans them the same terms, include a dee sire to walt on the legislative site uation. Particularly, they want to see what happens to the Case bill whether it becomes law either with or without President Truman's sige nature, This bill has two sections beare ing directly on their quarrel, One would rule out exclusive union administration of welfare or other funds collected from employers. The Krug-Lewis agreement places the fund under joint union-emse ployer direction. Sr But if the Case bill does not bee come law there is nothing to pree vent Mr. Lewis from returning to his original demand for exclusive union control. And he could call on the operators to raise the ante ’ before they get their mines back. » ” » THE OTHER Case law section affecting the coal settlement is withdrawal of collective-bargaining privileges for supervisory employees, They could join unions, but the unions could not represent them under the Wagner act. This hits at a subject close to the hearts of the coal operators and to management in other industries. If the Case bill does not become law the operators will have to accept the decisions of the national labor relations board, which by a
| two-to-one opinion has okayed ine
clusion of foremen and other supers visory employees in rank-and-file unions. Thus it would be easier for the coal operators to accept the Kruge Lewis agreement if the Case bill goes on the statute books,
