Navy Offers Emergency Aid To Communities Hit
By RAYMOND LAHR United Press Staff Corréspondent WASHINGTON, Nov, nation began to feel the impact of the coal strike today as John L. Lewis plotted in secret the legal strategy he will use in an effort to escape possible imprisonment. There was no hint from either}
Mr. Lewis or his attorneys of how they plan to fight the contempt of court charge brought against Mr. wis for his failure to call off the strike miners. He must answer the charge in court Monday. With a lull in the legal maneuvering likely until then, the government offered new evidence it is set for a long and hard battle. -. /Fhrough the civilian production .administration it ordered a brownout Monday at 6 p. m. in 21 eastern states—including Indiana—and the District of Columbia. There were these other develop-
ments: . ONE: Steel mills announced plans for productiofi cutbacks next week.’ TWO: The navy offéred emergency supplies of fuel, power and non-coal generating equipment to communities where essential public services were threatened. THREE: The office of defense transportation, which has ordered & 25 per cent cut in railroad passenger service at midnight Sunday, reported coal stockpiles were large enough to rule out the need for an embargo on non-essential freight for several days. | Federal Judge T. Alan Golds- | borough has ordered Mr. Lewis into FOR CUT IN POWER court at 10 4. m. Monday to show | cause why he should not be tried | for contempt. | The government asked for the mented with spraying oil to fire od hearing after Mr. Lewis had defied boilers, but abandoned it when the a temporary restraining order re- strike ended. quiring him to withdraw a contract termination notice.

No one knows, » ~
~ Industry by Industry Here's what will happen if the strike continues. STEEL: Immediate curtailment of output to stretch coal supplies, depleted by last spring's strike. By-product coke plants, first to reduce, will cut down production of manufactured gas and other vital proudcts. Steel output will be small after a month.
AUTOS: Plants already lack
| enough sheet steel to reach profit-
making, mass production level, may elect to'shut down entirely. RAILROADS: They've lost all coal-hauling traffic, a heavy blow, and must husband fuel. Present 25 per cent cut in coal-burning passenger traffic will be extended. Freight embargo of all but necessary items will follow. UTILITIES: More than half have coal for only 45 days. Failure of power means disaster for any city—as demonstrated’ in Pittsburgh. = FOOD: Steel curtailment will affect canneries by cutting off tinplate. Transportation cuts wlli require highest planning to avoid city food shortages. HOMES: Two weeks’ supply is in sight for house heating. After that, slim emergency rations. Don’t rglax if you have oil burner. Most require electric power for operation,

City by City Picture differs from city to city: : NEW YORK-—Over 500 passenger trains canceled or curtailed, affecting thousands of commuters. Emergency fuel committee set up. City agencies, subways, hospitals, have 100-day coal supply. Protracted strike, freight embargoes, could force many shutdowns, mass lay-offs.

Oil Burners in Demand HOME-OWNERS are ready to stage permanent strike against Lewis as soon as they can. Backlog of unfilled orders for oil burners and gas-fired furnaces for home heating is unprecedented. Oil Heat Institute says it will be late spring before oil-burner
