6-6 Ballot
WASHINGTON, Feb, 16—(AP)
—The House Rules. Committee
efused today by a 6 to 6 tie vote
o clear an anti-job discrimination
(FEPC) bill for House action.
Four Democrats and two_Re
publicans voted to keep the bill in
a committee pigeonhole where it
has been since last summer. An
equal number of Democrats and
Republicans voted 1o give the
House a chance to settle the issue.
Voting to approve the measure
were Reps. Herter (R.-Mass.)
Brown (R.-Ohio), Delaney (D.- N.
Y.), Madden (D.-Ind.), McSwee
ney (D.-Ohio) and Sabath (D.-
liL).
Voting against. the bill were
Reps. Allen (R.-Ill,) Wadsworth
(R.-N. Y.), Cox (D.-Ga.), Howard
Smith (D.-Va.), Colmer (D.-Miss.)
and Lyle (D.-Texas).
Chairman Sabath told news men
proponents of the bill will try to
pass it next Wednesday under pro
cedure sharply limiting debate. He
seemed pessimistic, however, about
the chances,
Some backers of FEPC had
hoped Allen might change his vote
allowing the bill to go to the floor.
Allen said in advance, however,
that he had no such intentions and
he voted against the bill.
If it fails to win Rules Commit
tee approval, the bill is scheduled
to come up for House decision next
Wednesday under restrictive pro
cedure allowing only two hours for
general debate, »
i That procedure is known as the
calendar Wednesday” rule and al
lows committees to obtain House
votes regardless of Rules Commit
tee opposion. But the bills brought
up under this rule must be dis
bosed of in one day unless a two
gnrds vote decldes to extend the
me,
_Southern Democrats and a few
Northern Republicans fighting the
FEPC bill hope to be able to-fili
buster long enough to block final
action next Wednesday. If their
plans succeed, the “calendar Wed=
nesday” rule would not help the
fn P(er’t(; bill for about four more
mins.

Skies cleared and temperatures
dropped over the southern water
shed. Fair weather also was re
ported in the Ohio and upper
Mississippi Valleys, easing tem
porarily the serious flood threats
in many river areas,
But the rising Mississippi re
mained a potential danger along
a 600-mile stretch from Cairo, 111.,
to the Gulf. Heavy rains, engineers
said, could result in widespread
damage.
Six persons died in the storm
which swept the New England
area, Snow falls measured up to
15 inches in western Massachus
etts. The snowfall in Boston was
followed by sleet and drizzle, leav
ing five inches of slush.
The sterm moved to mnorthern
New England during the night and
snowfalls as muych as 16 inches
were forecast er some areas.
Planes were grounded, highway
travel was impeded and shipping
operations curtailed by the heavy
seas and wind gusts up to a
velocity of 60 miles an hour, Some
schools were closed.
Outside the storm belt, fair
weather was reported across the
country. However, some snow fell
in parts of the Great Lakes region
and light rain was reported along
the Pacific Coast from northern
California northward. .
Temperatures were a little low
er today east of the Mississippi
river and higher over most of the
Great Plains and the northern and
central .rockies. The only suz-zero
readings were in eastern North
Dakota and northwestern Minne

was the lowest mark early today.
Temperatures were near the
freezing mark in some parts of the
southern flood areas. The Na

Lewis [leported
Stiffer Contract
Sitrike Effects Spread
In Basic Industries
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—(AP)—Hints that John L.
Lewis is readying stiffer money demands on coal operators
came today as strike effects spread steadily in basic in
dustries using coal for fuel.
David L. Cole, President Truman’s personal observer in
the court-directed coal dispute bargaining meetings, de
clined to tell reporters whether Lewis already hag boosted
his demands.
Lewis, barred from seecking four
of his key contract terms, is re
ported determined to get instead
a healthy wage and welfare fund
boost, a shorter work week and
a seniority system for employing
minérs..
. Besides the union shop and un
ion controlled welfare fund set=
up, Lewis now is restrained by
Federal court order from insist=
ing that miners work only when
“able and willing” and that they
may tzke long “memorial period
holidays.” These clauses had been
bitterly opposed by the industry.
Previously Lewis has indicated
he would settle for a sls daily
wage for miners, compared with
present $14.05 rate, and a 35-cent
tonnage royalty for the welfare
tund for miners’ pensions and oth=
er benefits in place of the pre
sent 20-cent royalty.
Now Lewis may insist on a
wage increase to $15.50, with a
seven hour work day instead of an
eight-hour day, along with assur
ances that older miners will re
tain their jobs if there is any fir
ing. :
Court-ordered bargaining be
tween Lewis’ united Mine Work
ers union and the operators was
to resume today in spite of the
continuing strike.
A presidential adviser, John D.
Clark, warned of “terrible” de
moralization in industry if the
strike continues two or three more
months, with “serious unemploy
ment.”
Steel plants and railroads have
suffered most so far. Most other
plants depending upon electric en
erfy were getting by.
n New York State tight controls
on sale and use of coal were be-~
ing readied for application Friday.
A voluntary control system was
invoked here in Washington. In
some areas brownouts, or curfews
on using - electricity made from
coal, were in effect. Some schools
were ordered closed for lack of
heat.
In Virginia,« the Legislature
completed action on a measure
permitting the governor to seize
and operate coal mines in an em
ergency if the Welfare of the peo
ple so requires, Gov. John S, Bat
tle, saying he will sign the bill,
planned no immediate action un
der its terms.
George M. McDowell was in
stalled as fire marshal for the city
of Athens today as the city took
its place among the majority of
Georgia municipalities in the state
wide program to save human lives
;irzxg property from destruction by
F. R. Reinero, deputy state fire
marshal from the office of the
Georgia Safety Fire Commissioner,
was on hand to swear in Mr. Mc-
Dowell for his new duties. Mr. Mc-
Dowell’s name had previously been
submitted to the office of the com
missioner by Mayor and Council
of Athens for installation as fire
marshal. e x
Mr. Reinero, in outlining the
duties of the new fire marshal,
stressed the fact that the purpose
of the program is to save needless
waste of lives and property by fire
and to “put Georgia ahead in the
saving of human lives.” It will be
Mr. McDowell's duty toc conduct
inspections of Athens buildings
and submit reports on deficiencies
in fire prevention means and in
adequate construction, he said.
Mr. Reinero pointed out that
75 per cent of Georgia’s larger
cities and many smaller cities now
have fire marshals and are taking
part in the fire preevntion pro
gram.
Property owners have no action
to take until they receive written
notice of deficiencies of buildings,
Mr. Reinero pointed out. Plans of
new buildings will be screened as
to fire safety construction before
reports are made in the future.

The party which arrived here
last night had grouped on shore
and was picked up by a Canadian
fishing boat. A Coast Guard PBY
flew them to Port Hardy, on the

Island, whence the C-82 picked
them up.

had been president of the com
pany for many years and had
been one of those most responsi
ble for the growth of the mills,
now regarded as one of the na
tion’s largest textile industries, its
products advertised far and wide.
His interest in textiles was not
confined to his own mill, but en
conrpassed the entire industry as
evidenced by his founding of the
Cotton Textile Institute in 1930.
A member of one of Georgia's
prominent families, Mr. Harris’
success as an industrialist follow

Stromboli Receives Weak Reception
By 808 THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD, Feb, 16—(AP)
—Hollywood critics generally
agreed today that the picture
“Stromboli” is not as good as the
story behind its filming.
The most publicized picture of
all time was previewed yesterday
and a cross-section of reviewers’
opinions indicates that it was a
disappointment.
“I suffer, believe me!” says the
star, Ingrid Bergman, at or e point
in the picture. That she does. For
81 minutes of the film's length
she is made miserable. Her simple=
minded husband (Mario Vitale
slaps her, the villagers ignore her
and the bleak volcanic island de=
presses her.
Dialogue Confusion
All this makes for a picture that
is grimmer than American audi=
ences prefer. Another drawback
is a confusion of the Italian and
English tongues, which nakes
dialogue unintelligible in spots,
However, most observers agree
that the film w:ll draw big busi=
ness because of its publicity.
Nearly all of the critics inter
viewed in the lobby of the Pant«
ages theater after the preview ex
pressed dissatisfaction with the
ekure. o G :
“Some praised Miss Bergman's
acting, but found fault with the
story. Said one: *I don’'t think it
is up to the high standards of Rob«

weak; even the music was a let-

0f China-Red Pact
Acheson Says Only Time Will Teids
Full Story Behind ‘Simple’ Treaty '
There is a growing feeling in Western capitals today
that secret protocols of the new Sino-Russian treaty have
sold the Chinese people down the Yangtze.
In Washington, Secretary of State Acheson said that
Chinese and Russian negotiators obviously were not in
Moscow for nine weeks just to eome up with the simple
alliance announced yesterday. ;
The full impact of secret codi
cils will become known only
through time and events, Washing
ton observers said. Similar opin
ions were expressed in London and
Paris. :
Highly placed diplomats believe
that Russia’s overall strategy calls
for three distinet spheres in the
Far East.
The first sphere, valuable to
Russian security, are the border

is expected to maintain ironclad
control over these areas directly or
through - trusted - agents. These,
say experts, will be Russia’s buf
fer states corresponding to satellite
states on Russia’ Furopean bord
ers, i g v d
China proper is the second
sphere. - Here Russia will attempt
to dominate internal and foreign
policies as much ‘as’ possible but
with a wary eye on China’s poor
financial structure and unstable
political history. Russia knows
that sprawling China is weak eco
nomically and would be a poor risk
as an ally in any prolonged war.
Asia where Communism is knock
ing at the door. Russia and China
which have both recognized the
rebel regime of, Moscow-trained
Ho Chi-minh in Indochina are ex
pected to supply it with arms to
fight French forces.
A three-day = meeting of . top
American diplomats in the Orient
broke up in Bangkok, Thailand
(Siam) in a gloomy atmosphere.
To many it seemed that Moseow
timed the announcement of the
Sino-Russian pact to take the edge
off the American conference.
Too Late - .
Some of the American diplomats
were represented as believing even
now it is too late for United States
aid to check the Communist ad
vance in this corner of the world.
They were reported ready to re
commend to Washington that full
economic aid and important mili
tary supplies should be sent to
Southeast Asian nations willing to
make the stand against the Reds.
However some observers predicted
that if Indochina goes red so will
all Southeast Asia.
Conservative strategy in the
British election campaign became
clearer today. Labor had chosen
the battlefield of planned economy
and full employment. The con
servatives are attempting to force
labor to the bpattlefield of inter
national policies.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
called Tory Chief Winston
Churchill’s appeal for another big
three meeting with Stalin, a politi
cal “stunt.” .
