COA Rep. “Wilson Says Lewis ~~. Overplays Hand. WASHINGTON Nov. 38 This

Hime it is not John L. Lewis against the mine owners, with the govern-

monies, but John L. Lewis vs. the | U. 8. government with the public good at stake.” That was the summary of the coal case made today for his ninth district constitutents by Rep. Earl Wilson. ‘

The former Hoosier schoolmaster, who has been re-elected for a fourth term, wrote about the strike under the title, “Again and Again and Again.” His letter reads: “I am sure it seems to you, as it does to me, that the snarling dares east down by one John L. Lewis come too often to be viewed with

Kilgore Condemns Beaten Plea for Probe.

By MARSHALL McNEIL | Scripps-Howard - Staff Writer | WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. — The | | secret Meader report contained | prejudice and malice, and is worthy of the strongest disagreement and condemnation, according to a letter by the committee chairman. Republicans of the senate nation- | al defense committee had tried to) peg their demand for an on-the-| spot investigation of American mili- | tary government in Germany on the report. { The letter was written by Senator Harley Kilgore (D. W. Va.), head of | the committee, to committee mem- | bers. It was dated Nov. 25, Monday,| and on Tuesday his committee killed | the proposed investigation by a vote

How They Voted [ “It is difficult,” Mr. Kilgore wrote, “to discuss portions of the report which attack our own soldiers, and {helpless victims of Nazis, without |the strongest disagreement and con|demnation.” The senator concluded that the Meader report would “defeat the {purpose of our occupation on Germany —. to prevent Germany from going to war again. This report, by casting discredit on our troops and jon’ American humane purposes in | protecting displaced persons, makes | it impossible effectively to accom- | plish our Rim.” | Those who voted for the military | government investigation in Ger{many as proposed in the Meader report are: Republican Senators Joseph Ball (Minn.), Homer Fergu- | son (Mich.), Knowland (Cal), and | Owen Brewster (Me.). | Those who voted against it are: | Democratic Senators Kilgore, Hugh | Mitchell (Wash), Frank Briggs | (Mo.), Tom Connally (Tex.), James| {Mead (N.
