Coal Miners
Return To
Pits Today
PITTSBURGH, March 28 —
(AP)—Hard and soft coal miners
east of the Mississippi trooped
back to work today to sent coal
flowing to the tippies in volume
for the first time in two weeks.
The end of UMW President
John L. Lewis’ memorial-protest
mine shutdown found most of the
diggers happy to be back on the
job earning pay again.
Beginning at midnight when
some pits scheduled early shifts,
the return to work movement pro
ceeded without interruption in the
big western Pennsylvania fields
and elsewhere. :
By the end of the day, all 463,-
000 miners idle in the U. S. were
expected to be producing coal
again. The Pennsylvania pits all
have been given a.special state
ordered safety inspection. 3
Everything was ready for the
miners to start earning money
again. A spokesman for the west
ern Pennsylvania coal operators
association estimated the miners
lost $55,000,000 in wages during
their two weeks of idleness.
Lewis made no pretense of lik
protest against Dr. James Boyd's
appointment as director of the U.
S. Bureau of Mines. He also
termed it a memorial to miners
killed and injured last year.
Hardly had the work stoppage
gotten underway than the Senate’s
Interior Committee approved
President Truman’s nomination
by a 10-1 vote. Then, a few days
later, the Senate ignored Lewis—
it confirmed Boyd by a 50-1 vote.
Lewis made no pretense of hik
ing the action. Some thought he
might not choose to order the mi
ners back to work. But Lewis,
remaining bitterly critical of
Boyd’s appointment and the de
fiance of the .Senate, gave the
miners an “executive communi-t
cation” which said, in part:
“The present memorial period
will terminhte Monday, March 28.
Production may ithen be resumed
in all mines and all members
should make themselves available
for work on that date.”
That was a® the ‘miners needed.
They had the word of John L.
Lewis. They dusted off their wa- |
ter buckets and lunch containersl
and prepared to go underground.
State Survey ’
A state-by-state survey indica
ted coal production would be back |
to normal within a few days.|
From West Virginia, largest soft
coal producing state, came word
the 120,000 UMW miners would |
be in the pits on schedule.

Gov't Defeats Reds At Polls
By The Associated Press
France’s Centrist coalition held
a wide lead today over Commun
ists and De Gaullists in the count
of yesterday's cantonal, or county,
elections. The De Gaullists, how
ever, won more seats than any
single party_. : .
The parties making up the pre

with 1082 seats to 389 for the De'
Gaullists and 37 for the Commun

99 seats,
At noon today, the De Gaullists
claimed to have élected 536 coun
cillors instead of the 389 officially
reported for them. . The popular
vote totals were not made public
Immediately.
The election for General Coyn
cillors, who help run the depart-!

American states—was important
chiefly as an indication of popular
feeling. It had no bearing on the

N.Y. WORLD PEACE
CONFERENCE ENDS
NEW YORK. March 28.— (AP) —With a promise to
continue its work in the future with a salvo of praise for
Soviet “peace’ aims, the controversial “Wurld Peacc Con
feverce™ has ended. Pt
The three-day meeting of the
Cultural and Scientific Conference.
for world peace closed last night.
Some 18,708 persons iammed
Madison Square Garden to cheer
its last session — but other
thousands picketed and jeered out
side.
Speakers at the session, called
a “unite for world peace” rally,
struck a general note of praise for
Soviet ‘“peace” aspirations—as
serting that leaders of the U, S. S.
R. are anti-war and anxious for
global peace.
~ Outside the Garden, a police
estimated crowd of 2,000 pickets
milled about as the rally opened.
They carried placards assailing the |
conference and chanted slogans |
charging it was Communist-domi- |
nated.
The U. S. State Department had
described the affair as a sounding
board for Communist propaganda.
Sponsors of the meeting, the ,Na-,l
tional Council of the arts, sciences |
and professions, have denied ihe |
charge. |
Counter-rallies and anti-Com-!
munist protest groups denouncedi
the conference, and almost con- |
stant picketing went on while it |

the Harvard Medical School, a
member of this group, said it

A. A. Fadeyev, chief Russian
delegate and noted Soviet author,
won loud applause from the Gar

with an assertion that “our coun

peace and friendship among peo

condemning the peace meeting. |
But the Pentagon wanted to say
a military goodbye to the outgoing
Defense Secretary and it was for
James Forrestal that the troops,
the bands, the ruffies and flourish

dered. The Air Force, the Navy
and the Army each may have re

them, but Forrestal personally
was respected and liked. :
The grey little man with the
