i uid average 39 ge, A. ton. e contract gave wage Increases

Change Is Allowed to Cover Miner Wage Hike and Cost of Strike.

By RAYMOND LAHR United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 21. ~OPA raised soft coal prices an average of 40% cents a ton; boosting the nation’s coal - bill an estimated $222,750,000 for the next year. The increases were authorized to cover the mine operators’ losses during the recent coal strikes and the cost of the government wage contract with John L. Lewis’ United Mine Workers (A. F.of L.). All of the price increases will be on to consumers. ! OPA said the cost of the Paige agreement, including the rayalty of 5 cents a ton for sfi employee welfare fund,

of 18% cents hour to the 400,000 miners. ¢ Production Cost Up Extension of the wage agreements to clerical and administrative workers not eovered by the contract raised costs an additional 6 cents, the agency said, making the total cost of the contract 45 cents a ton. The producers were required to absorb 11 cents of that amount, however, leaving a net of 34 cents affecting price. OPA estimated the cost of the strikes during April and May at 11 cents a ton, of which the operators were required to absorb 4% cents. Hence a price increase of 8% cents was allowed to cover the strike losses. That amount for strike losses, plus 34 cents for the cost of the “gontract, made the total price boost 40% cents,

Other Issues Pending

The price issue has been one factor delaying a renewal of efforts to negotiate a contract for private operation of the mines. An industry representative said issues involving union recognition for supervisors and a national safety code may cause further delays. The government seized the mines May 22 and completed a-contract with the U. M. W. a week later, On the basis of a coal production

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo, June 21 (U. P).~— Fully-equipped’ mountain troops climbed the perilous, Flat-top mountain trail today to search for a young soldier who waved goodby to fellow picnickers at the foot of the mountain five days ago and dis-

appeared. Led by an army snowmobile, 29 experienced mountain climbing

soldiers and a group of national park service rangers searched the rugged slopes 12,000 feet above sea level for Pvt. Thomas H. Evans, 20, Akron, O. Since Sunday he has been lost on the snow-covered peak. . ” » - LOWRY FIELD officials said Pvt.

” MOUNTAIN experts described Flat-top mountain trail as one of the most dangerous in the Rockies. Snow blanketed the crags Tuesday and Wednesday and fear for Pvt. Evans’ safety was doubled. Pvt. Evans was a tenderfoot, and whether he could forage for himself and find some shelter in the snowswept Rockies was doubtful,

SENATE CONFIRMS CLARK PROMOTION

WASHINGTON, June 21 (U., P). —The senate has confirmed promotion of Gen. Mark W. Clark of Indianapolis to permanent rank of major general despite protests by Texas veterans based on the Rapido river disaster, The only dissenting voices were raised by Democratic Senators W. Lee O'Daniel and Tom Connally of Texas. The latter cabled his protest from Paris. Senator O'Daniel said protests made by the Texas 36th division against Gen. Clark's promotion placed the senate “in the position of being asked to promote a man against whol serious charges have been made by members of his pro- { fession.” The Texan said the charges were
