Ill LEAST 3-WEEK
IS CommitteesRe-sumeNegotia-tions This Afternoon; Steel Output Falling. WASHINGTON, April 9 (UP) Soft coal operators were resigned to a minimum shutdown of three weeks today as they prepared to resume negotiations with the striking United Mine Workers (A.F.L.). . Industry and union negotiating committees, which were scheduled to meet this afternoon after a long week-end recess, were confronted with steel production cutbacks blamed on the eight-day-old strike. The drop in i;teel output was certain to continue before a coal settelment permitted an upturn. Mine operators predicted a week ago that at least two weeks Would be needed to settle the coal dispute. When the first week parsed with no progress evident, they expected at least two more weeks would bs needed. The American Iron and Steel Institute reported that steel mills were planning to operate at least 78.3 per cent of rapacity this week compared with 87.1 per cent last week. The trade organization said last week's figure represented a cut from the 39.4 rafe planned on the first day of the strike.,... , u v,"as V ' The coal operators. ' who' have been waiting for UMW President John L. Lewis to hand them specific contract demands, hoped he would do so before another week elapsed. The management group has been eager to discuss wages and hour but Lewis has insisted that priority be given vo the union demands for improved health and safety conditions. Some onerators thought the miners themselves . would be showing an eagerness to return to work after another week of idleness. They doubted the mine workers would be willing to conduct a long strike over such issues as the union welfare fund and unionization of supervisors. MARRIAGE LICENSES Herbert E.

The Commentator's Corner (By Joe Adams) Beautiful hymns, wafted over the city on the spring air, have thrilled and inspired innumerable Sullivan people lately and casual investigation has revealed that these tone-treats originate at the First Christian church on North Broad street. Many visitors as well have been surprised and pleased iroon hearing the "cathedral of the air." An elaborate amplification system has been set up at the church with three loud speakers constructed atop the roof. At the present time recordings of appropriate hymns are clayed each evening from six to six -fifteen, as dusk is falling and at the close of the day's work for most of us, also at noon Sunday, at the close of worship services. Later, we understand, through the generosity of one of the members of the congregation of the local church, chimes will be installed in the church organ and the charm of their sound likewise will be amplified that all maV( hear, The music is plainly head, under normal conditions, throughout the city and in the outskirts. Special music of a religious nature is no doubt in store during the Easter season and the community as a whole is highly appreciative of the thoughtfulness of those responsible. , As someone has so aptly said: "It does something good for us deep down inside." The trees are leafed out and the grass is greener earlier. This time of year always helps us to realize what a beautiful little city this is to live in. J ! The spring candidates are out ' in abundance, too, along with the mushrooms. The former are easy to find but finding the latter is ' another matter. NEW SUITS j Mary Garrison vs. Logan Garrison.

LATE NEWS
COMMITTEES REJECT 3 DRAFT PROPOSALS WASHINGTON, April 9. ( UP ) Congressional committees today rejected three proposals for extending the draft beyond the present expiration date, May loth. They had not yet reached a final decision on what to recommend to Congress. :" 1 The Senate Military Affairs committee, by a vote of six to four, defeated a proposal to extend the draft for six weeks. The amendment was offered by Senator Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo. The committee also turned down a plan for extending the Selective Service Act with a moratorium on inductions. ' . , i The House Military Affairs committee voted down, 21 to 2, an amendment by Representative Forrest A. Harness, R., Indiana. It would have extended the Selective Service Act for a year but inductions would have been suspended until Congress authorized their resumption. j The committees considered the draft proposals follow- ' ing indication that the Army was willing to accept a compromise calling for suspension f inductions while they carried on enlistment campaigns. v , ' The compromise idea for susnending inductions until after the fall elections was designed to take pressure off congressmen in their campaigns for reelection.
BAKERS, MILLERS BALK AT FLOUR CUT, WASHINGTON, April 9; (UP) Some fifty representatives of the baking and milj'ng industries today balked at a government proposal calling? for a 25 per cent reduction in domestic consumption of flour:.

"We have no confidence whatsoever that this program will only be a temporary one lasting between sixty and seventy-five days," he said. ; The proposed order, drafted by the Agriculture Department, would require millers to cut deliveries of flour to domeslic consumers 25 per cent as a means of saving about 1,000.000 tons of wheat in the next three months. McCarthy said there has been numerous statements, some by Agriculture Department officials, that there is sufficient wheat in this country to fill the needs both foreign and domestic. i ' "If this is the case," he asked, "why doesn't the departnent get at that whe&l-.-!.- . . CLEAR WAY FOR FARM PARITY BILL WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP) The House Rules committee today cleared the way for floor action on legislation to raise farm prices by including farm labor costs in determining the parity price of agricultural commodities.
