case FOR months. and finally were
forced to admit that Thompson is
the possessor of a duel mentality, a
condition heretofore believed to be
beyond human power to attain.
Thompson bases his strange
power on the theory OF the con-
scious and sub-conscious minds. He
believes that hts sub-conscious
senses are subject to the power and
control Of his conscious mind. and
that this condition coupled with his
God-given conscious brain. causes
the dual mentality. Thompson DOS

WASHINGTON, July 8

July a.
(By The Associated Press.)-
Lines of defense were drawn
more tightly than ever today
when representatives of btu
miaous operators and officials
OF the striking coal miners union
went into their third joint conference
in company with Secretaries Hoover
and Davis. Prior to the meeting 1t vas
evident that the operators intended to
force some sort of a conclusion today
without yielding to their refusal to
meet the union for the purpose Of
making up a national or serni-national
wage scale. From the views of John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, II was evident that the
miners consider it necessary u pro
long the strike rather than agree to
negotiate for district wage scales.

ARGUE LEGAL STATUS
OF FLEET CORPORATION
Shipbuilding Companies and Fed
eral Counsel Disagree as to
Right to Sue for Claims.

The legal status of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. questioned in nu-
merous court proceedings, was ar
gued yesterday in the Supreme Court.
The government presented argu-
ments for an opinion holding the feet
corporation not to ba a private cor
poration engaged in ordinary private
functions for trade and profit, but an
instrumentality Of the federal gov
ernment "represnting the United
States Of America" Government own
ership of the capital stock of the fleet
corporation was only an incidental
means Of securing to it the absolute
control over the instrumentality
which Congress thought would be
more effective in a corporate form
than if exercised by individual agents.
counsel for the government argued.
asse erting that it acted solely as a
public corporation for the great ma
ticnal purpose of executing the war
powers of Congress.
Counsel for various shipbuilding
companies asserted that the Fleet
Corporation was suable in the courts
without the consent of the United
States and could not protect itself
from the obligations arising under its
contracts by contending for the i'm
munity which the laws conferred
| upon a government department or
bureau.

cerning the turning back of the ves-
sci to the Shipping Board and her
