Lewis came fto his big showdown with the government today. Armed with a thinly-veiled threat to renew last spring’s strike by his 400,000 soft coal miners, the fiery union Jeader apparently held most of the top cards — pretty well conceded in advance — in his play for a new wage agreement. It remains to pe seen, however, whether Lewis would put in a personal ~ appearance at today’s initial conference (11 a. m,, EST), or choose to remain aloof until e can meet on an even proto ol level with Secretary of In erior J. A. Krug. : In setting ioday’s meeting, rug, who is away on a Wester_n inspection tour, deleg'a?;ed his aide, Coal Mines Administrator N, H. Collisson, to open the par- Y. W Scrap Agreement Lewis main objective is to crap not later than November 20 he agreement he signed with rug last May 28 to end the 59- ay spring strike, Then, unless the government grees to a new contract on wag s, hours and other matters, ewis ¢laims the present pact vill be “void’—and a void ontract almost inevitably means ¢ diggers will lay down their 00ls. In his abrupt notice to Krug n October 21 that %he current pact had become distasteful, Lewis charged the government with preach of contract by *“misinter ipretations.” One of these points had to do with payment of vacation bene fits, and Collisson immediately announced he was accepting an arbitet”s decision favoring the union. The operafors last night took sharp exeeption to this reversal, terming it “further evidence of the abdication of the administra tion to the demands of a wilful abor leader.” Arbiter’s ' Ruling. : The “#tbiter’s rulitig” ™ heldthat ners who wer on the payrolls efore government seizure could hare in the vacation benfits on pro-rata basis. Previously Collison had held hat paments were limited 1o those who have worked since the overnment seized the mines. In addition to ais contention of a contract breach, Lewis told Krug the nationa] wage policy had bee changed significanly by President Truman’s in decontroll ing meats. ~ This led to speculation that Lewis meant to press new wage demands to bea other labor leaders on ‘second round” post war pay gains. While it may be days before Lewis gets down to talking spe cific wage demands, it is general- If expected that he will ask about the same take-home pay for shorter week as his miners 20w earn with a 54 hour week. The pay for that period is $75.25, but few actually put in that many hours every week. ; Davis Named ATLANTA, Nov. I—(AP)— Secretary of State Ben W. Fortson, jr., ruled today that Judge James C. Davis of the Stone Mountain Circuit is the Democratic nominee for Con gress in the Fifth Georgia Dis trict. o ';LI OPA LOCAL BOARDS ORDERED OCEASE OPERATION ON MONDAY Some 10,000 Pair Workers To Receive Dismissal Notices In Sweeping Action WASHINGTON, Nov., 1 — DAP) — OPA began to take on he appearance today of a skele on left over from Hallowe’en. In a sweeping action toward fcontrolling itself along with the national economy, the price “2€ency served notice on approx ‘mately 10,000 field workers — [oughly one-taird of its remain if:lE staff — that their jobs will old up in 30 days.

I—(AP)— Rigid security restrictions were clamped on all Haifa today as 1,200 Jewish refugees were trans ferred from a dangerously listing immigrant ship to iwo British vessels for Deportation to Cy prus. Two thousand jews, leaving a Haifa mass meeting which pro tested further deportations, marched on British street barri cades toward signs reading “dis perse or. we fire,” but dispetsed after singing Nationalist songs. Meanwhile, the Palestine Arab army Futuwah was ‘summoned for a parade and imass meeting in Nablus, 33 miles north of Je ruslem, and some Arabs pictured this as a ‘show of strzngth.” Haifa’s 60,000 Jews were idle from 8:30 to 11 a. m. in a general protest , strike and held a mass meeting as the immigrant ship, apparently lashed to two mine sweepers, appeared in the harbor. Meanwhile, two British soldiers were Kkilled last night and two others wounded dritically near the all-Jewish city cf Tel Aviv when their truck hit a road mine.

SPOTLIGHT Oratory Sessions End As Committees Sottled Down To Difficult Task Ahead BENEA RSN N Y TV Ve T e R TR LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 1 —(AP)—A determined effort to head off an atomic armaments race and slash military establish ments the world over appeared to be in the making today as United Nations delegates turned from oratory to committee discussion of the issues before them. The temporary end of the formal assembly sessions found Russia and the United States competing for leadership in the disarmament undertaking. American officials described the United States proposals for safe guarding arms control by an in ternational inspection system as a revolutionary idea that, if adopt ed, would result not only in a constant watch over atomic re sources of all nations but also put an end to secret weapons of all kinds. - While the Soviet union, which took the initiative in demanding an arms cut has consistently op posed inspection proposals as ap plied to atomic energy alone, there was some hope that a for mula might be worked out which would be acceptable to both America and Russia and result in The pro-government Jih Pao said vanguards reached Pulan teien, only 33 miles north of Dairen on ‘the border between Manchuria and Kwantung Pen insula. Their objective is to cut off the Lioatung Peninsula Com munists from the Manchurian mainland. ; Government sources previousky said Gen. Tu Li-Ming’s troops, fresh from capturing Antung, would not menace Dairen itself, but would establish a 30-mile safety zone around that Russian occupied open port. There were these other de= velopments: National striking at Chefoo and the Shantung Peninsula to cut off the Reds Yellow Sea route to Manchuria approached the su burbs of Yehhsien, one of the four largest ports on the North ern coast, and engaged Chinese Red forces in two others. The air force, using Ameri can planes and bombs, was at tempting to halt Communist re inforcements, slipping to Shan=- tung Peninsula from Manchuria in junks. Government and Communist troops clashed near the famous Marco Polo Bridge, five miles West of Peiping. ; Strong National forces opened an offensive against Communists massed in the Yuhsien sector ow the Chahar-Shansi province bor de!'; "'{ W ‘ﬂ Wrt z‘-w % A I There was violent fighting in Chefoo, directly South of Dairen across the mouth of the Gulf ol Chihli, after government forces encircled Red troops there.
