 Gen.

 They cited the fact that top army and navy officers accompanied Mir, Roosevelt to the conferences with British leaders somewhere in the Atlantic aboard American and Brit ish warships.
 Highly-placed officials here inter- preted the Roosevelt Churchill state ment as a prelude to action. They said 1t virtually created an Anglo American Entente" on world issues and pointed out that. there must be concerted steps to defeat the Axis before there Is any chance of achieving the peace aims the state-- ment stressed. g

Plans For Reopening Soft
Coal Mines Partly Upset;
New Conference On Issue
(By Associated PreSsl

WASHINGTON, April 30. -
Plans for the reopening of soft
coal mines tomorrow, after a
month-long strike, appeared to
have hit snag today as CLIO
union officials and southern coal
operators announced a new con-
ference for this afternoon.
Union officials said northern
mines definitely will return to
production tomorrow, but the
new hitch in relations between the
southern operators and their en-
ployes may occasion further de-
lay.
Operators in both sections pre-
viously had agreed to a flat in
crease of a dollar a day, with
southern owners still holding out
against efforts on the part of the
union to erase the wage differen-
tial between north and south.
Cause of the delay has not been
made public, but union men pre-
dict the new difficulty will be
ironed out soon. Miners have
been idle since April l, when the
walkout began.

ARTIFICIAL ARMS
TIED TO MUSCLES
] ARE VERY USEFUL
GERMAN DEVELOPS LIMBS
WHICH CAN BE USED VERY
EFFICIENTLY ON MOST &C.
CASIONS
BY ERNEST C. FISCHER
APP Feature Service Writer

! BERLIN, April 30.-Soldiers
who lose both arms can be made
"self-reliant" by artificial limbs,
according to DR.. Ferdinand Sauer-
broch, eminent German sorgeon.
To prove his point, DR.. Sauer-
bruch gave a demonstration be-
fore a group of foreign correspon-
dents He called up one of his for
mer patients, a 26-year-old man
whose arms were severed about
halfway between the elbow and
hand
Equipped with artificial hands,
the subject unbuttoned and but
toned his clothes, took a match
out of box and lit a cigar, car
ried a SCuttle of coal, and handled
a pencil.
Handwriting Unchanged
DR.. Sauerbruch explained that
the subjects handwriting was the
same as it was when he had the
use of his natural hands. The sur
geon said that this was true gen
orally in cases of amputation-
that even the armleSs man in the
circus Sideshow who handles a
pencil with his toes produces the
same style of Handwriting" he
formerly produced by hand.
The science of providing arti-
fetal limbs has reached the point
where arms, with some practice,
can be made to be from 80 to 60
per cent as efficient as the natural
arms, depending upon the point at
which the arms was amputated,
explained the surgeon. This par
ticular subject lost the lower part
of his arm eight years ago.
Each of the two mechanisms
consists of a hand of composition
material, a metal sleeve-like arm
which slips over the stump of the
amputated arm, and two ivory
pegs.
Pegs Removable
The surgery, after the amputa-
ton, consists of grating a chan
mel of skin under the muscles on
each side of the arm. Ivory pegs
about four inches long go through
each of these channels. The pegs
fit loosely into the channels and
can be withdrawn readily.
The mechanical hand and arm
hitch on to these pegs. The mus
Giles of the arm motivate the peg,
which exerts pressure on the me-
chanical arm which, in turn,
moves the fingers.
The Individual shown in the
demonstration, the surgeon ex-
planned. had become self-sustain-
ing. He operates an elevator in
the huge hospital charity clinic,
supervised by DR.. Sauerbruch.
What was done for this individual
can be done for hundreds of
manned soldiers, the surgeon said.
although he admitted that shrap-
mel frequently complexities mat
tiers. It is better, he said. to make
provision for the artificial limb
soon after the amputation.
