MINERS SLOWLY GOING BACKTO COAL SHAFTS

- WASHINGTON, April 9 (UP) The number of miners reporting back to work in, the nation's soft coal field increased slightly today, but there was , still no clear indication of any strong back-to-work movement , developing. The "safety strike" forced by members of the United Mine Workers following the six-day "memorial" work stoppage forced the United States Steel Corporation to cut back steel production. It was too early to. judge the full effect of John L. Lewis latest message to his mine workers, directing them to go to work in mines certified as safe by the federal inspectors. . His message was criticized by mine operators as a dodge aimed at pulling out miners from all other pits. In the Department of Interior, which operates the mines for the government, still was having trouble making a check of the coal fields because of the telephone strike.

(International). Here's Good News, Fishing Season Is Extended 20 Days INDIANAPOLIS, April 9 The Indiana Department of Conservation today proposed to lengthen by 20 days the open season on rector of the Indiana Lake and Stream Survey, who has conducted a series of fisheries' tests over a period of several years in Indiana. Donald R. Hughes, director of the Fish and Game Division of the Conservation department, formally endorsed Ricker's recommendation last week and urged that such action be taken, ing." Bass normally spawn several days ahead of pan fish. Outdoor Indiana, official Con servation magazine, currently is at Tri-Lakes State Fish Hatchery. tonsences of the survey was that Indiana waters are not only under-fished but that, in all probability, it is impossible to over-fish. "Most fish," Dr. Ricker states in an Outdoor Indiana article, "die of old age or from other natural causes." Harry Young, fish hatcheries superintendent for the Fish and Game Division, recently an nounced "a shift in artificial propagation policy whereby the state will de-emphasize release of fingerling fish and concentrate on releasing adult fishes in waters which contain necessary food stocks. Young maintains" many lakes, which have been stocked year after year, are now so heavily populated that fish have no opportunity . to attain normal size. Director Nigh said the departbe no change in the trout season which is from May 1 through August 31. ATTENTION PRESBYTERIANS All Presbyterian families are urged not. to forget the annual congregational meeting this evening.

BRITAIN TOLDU.S.

IN OCTOBER OF GREEK PROBLEM

LONDON, April 9 (UP) A high British government source revealed today that Great Britain informed the United States last October that it would be forced to quit Greece this spring and suggested that American concern about Greece in February had been steamed up by reports from United States observers about the possibility of a civil war. The government source declared that the British announcement in February that it would have to discontinue committments in Greece on March 31 was "simply the re-affirmation of what had been said before." Indian sources said today that the United States, in another anti-Communist move, joined recently in Anglo-Indian army i talks here on the defense of India if the British withdraw in June, 1948. The talks were reported to have involved primarily around the question of what American and British assistance might be necessary for India to guard the northern "backdoor" against Communist infiltration after the British withdrew.

HARTLEY SAYS

WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP) Republicans of the House labor committee probably will vote unanimously for a bill that would authorize c o u r t injunctions against future strikes in vital industries such as the telephone industry and the coal fields. . This was predicted today by Chairman Fred A. Hartley, Jr., N. J., after he spent two hours explaining the bill to the House Republican steering committee. He said some Republicans on his own committee had reservations about provisions to outlaw closed shops and industry-wide bargaining. "But," he said, "J definitely predict a solid Republican vote in, my committee" on other points including the injunction authority. Other Congressional developments: . . Unification Senator Edward E. Robinson, R., Wyo., took another rap at President Truman's plan for. unification of the armed forc-r es. He suggested instead a "real peace-time test" of the type of volunteer Army and Navy cooperation that made passible the atom bombing of Hiroshima. Education Senator George W. Aiken, R., Vt., said teachers are "grossly underpaid" and the situation can lead to a grave crisis in American education. He voiced the warning at a Senate subcommittee considering bills to provide federal funds for schools. Club Federation To Meet Thursday

iVIOLOTOV SAYS PLAN ON BORDERS

MOSCOW, April 9 (UP) Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov tonight rejected Secretary of State George C. Marshall's demand for a commission to study a possible revision of the German-Polish border and insisted that the Big Four stand on the Potsdam agreement. Molotov took the view that the Potsdam agreement settled the frontier question once and for all. Britain supoorted Marshall's proposal and the French indicated they would support it, giving the ministers another 3 to 1 split on one of the vital issues before them. Marshall minced no words in branding as "false" the Soviet m3nd revision of , the pre-war .German-Polish boundary,, and, i economic arrangements tor tne allocation of raw materials of 1 former eastern German areas for Marshall proposed that the commission be composed of all ln D18 ""r P'us f-oiana , ana "the conventional number of COMMISSIONERS HOLD COURT The county . commissioners of the April session, set the sites of the polls for the coming city primary election.

Whether the anticipated settlement between the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and its long-distance employees might provide the strikeending formula for the entire industry was a matter for the National Federation of Telephone workers policy committee to decide. Meanwhile the coast-to-coast strike of 300,000 telephone workers affiliated with the National Federation of Telephone Workers continued in its third day with service across the nation reduced to 20 per cent of normal for the Bell System's 26,000,000 telephone subscribers.

Many Voters To Be Purged Because Of Not Registering After the deadline for registration passed on Monday, James H. Ringer, county clerk, said that his office would have to remove some 600 voters from the lists, because they had not reregistered.

However, there are a . number of voters who still live here but did not vote in the last election, and did not check their registration. They will be removed from the lists, Mr. Ringer said.
