U. S. Attorney Argues
Lewis, Miners In
Clear Contempt
WASHINGTON, April 15—
(AP)—-Judge T. Alan Goldsbor
ough today heard arguments in
John L. Lewis’ contempt trial
and put off any decision until
Monday.
Assistant Attorney General H.
Graham Morrison argued for the
government that Lewis and the
United Mine Workers were
clearly in contempt of court for
continuing a coal mine work
stoppage - for a week after a
court order was issued for it to
end.
Attorneys for Lewis made
only a one sentence argument:
“The government has failed to
prove its case.”
That came from Welly K. Hop
kins, chief of the eight-man bat
tery of counsel Lewis has.
Adjourns |
Goldsborough then adjourned
court until Monday.
Now the only thing left in the
contempt case is the judge's rul
ing—and the punishment if the
ruling is for conveition. |
When court was adjourned,
Hopkins and Lewis went into a
whispered huddle, Then the mine
chietf and his small army of law-;
vers filed silently out of the
room. 1
In his argument, Morrison hit
hard at Lewis’ poistion that no
coal strike ever was called. ‘
The government attorney said!
that contention was an ‘“affront
to common sense.” '
He said Lewis and the UMW
are in contempt of court ~“for
their failure to obey the- explicit
terms” of an April 3 court order
to end the coal strike. :
The UMW chieftain showed up
19 minutes before court con
vened at 10 a. m. (EST).-He
secemed restless. He fidgeted
about in his chair before Golds
borough took the bench. Finally,
he went into a small room ad
joining the court room - and
paced up and down, {
Morrison told Goldsborough a
finding of guilt “is the only one
consistent with the undisputed
facts.”
It has been shown, he said,!
that no action was taken by the
union or its president on a court|
order for a resumption of work
in the mine fields for seven days
after it was issued. !
Served April 5 !
The order was served on lewis
April 5. Exactly one week later,
he ‘instructed his miners to go;
back to work. Those instructions
went out -after he had agreed to
a@ compromise plan providing
SIOO a month pensions at age 62

Demo gogery East
Style, Thompson
Says Of Coolidge
COLUMBUS, Ga., April 15—
—(AP) — Gov. M. E. Thomp
son declared here yesterday tne
“astern part of our country
has developed — quite appro
priately - demogogery eastern
style.”
Addressing the Columbus Ro-=
tary Club, Thompson took oc
casion to reply to Massachu
sett’s Lt. Gov. Arthur W. Cool
idge who charged in a civic
club taik the “moonlight and
magnolig boys are kidnapping”
the north’s textile industry.
“This is my answer to the
lieutenant gcvernor of Massa
chusetts,” Gov. Thompson said.
“If he’d rather choose the
demogogery we discharged, we
will be delighted for him to
take what we shed ourselves of.”
Georgia’s chief executive de
clared there are four attitudes
southern people could assume
in regard to Coolidge’s speech.
Thompson asserted southern
ers could either become indig
nant, ridicule and laugh at the
cherges, ignore the statements,
or ‘“forget what was said and
turn attention to ourselves in
stead of looking outward.”
“I am choosing the fourth at
titude,” the governor declared.

Rights’ Issue Arose
WASHINGTON, April 15—(AP)
—President Truman said today
that he confidently expects to
spend four more years in the White
House.
In a breezy news conference, the
Presideni aiso told reporters that
he had conferred this week with
New York’s Ed Flynn, DPemocra
tic, National Committeeman, and
Paul Fitzpatrick, New York State
Party chairman.
He told reporters the two parfy
leaders went away happy.
The remark about spending four
years more in the White House
came during a discussion of the
newly completed, South Poriico
balcony. .
Didn’t Care
A reporter recalled that the Fine
Arts Commission (a Washington
advisory body on development of
the city) had criticized the pro-=
ject. .
Mr. Truman said they got scared
when a public controversy got -
started and the people began
throwing bricks at them., °
As for himself, he said he did
' not scare as easily. E
f A newsman asked whether that
statement could be interpreied
politically. The President replied
that the reporters could use their
own judgment.
He said he anticipated using the !
porch during the next four years
if he had the time to do so. He said
he put in a pretty full day and
did not know when he could find
time, but, he added:
I'll be there to use it.
Mr. Truman was asked if he
knew of any back-to-Truman
movement in the South where
some Democratic leaders are bolt
ing because of his civil rights pro
gram.
He replied simply that there
were a great many in the South
who never left Truman.
The discussion got around to a
southern vacation trip by General
Dwight D ‘Eisenhower and George
E. Allen, insurance man and close
friend of the President.
. Eisenhower
The President said that he had
heard they were vacationing to
gether and playing golf. Asked
whether there was any political
significance to this fact, he said he
only knew they were great friends
and liked each other’s company.
He said reporters would have to
ask them why they happened to
be in the South together.
He likes them both, he added,
and aiso iikes to be in their com
pany.
A reporter said that Life Maga
zine had reported that he, the
President, was going to nominate
