ing to his press conference that
$500, 900 900 in existing war equip
ment and another $500, 900 for

located.
The ship construction, he ex-
planned, calls for the building OF 2l2
new merchant ships, so or 60 new
shipbuilding ways and repairs to
damaged vessels This part of the
program has been formulated since
the press conference of last Tues
day, when the President said that
81 ,O80 900 900 had been allosated for
war production for axis fCsj.
The President also revealed that
studies are we'll under way for the

At the same time, the President
| revealed that if no fighting is taking
place in the Red Sea, the United
States Government might remove
that area from listing as a combat
zone and permit American vessels
to carry cargoes there.
Reports already printed to that
effect, he said, were little prema-
ture But he added such step
might be taken in two or three days
Referring to his conference yes

Yugoslav Minister, the President
said the Balkan government had eX-
pressed a desire to acquire certain
types of defense equipment.
Need Not Be Belligerent.
This Government already is max
ing studies with the view to meeting
these Yugoslav needs, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, without any condition that the
| Balkan nation must be an active
belligerent to receive such aid.
With regard to the ALLEGATION o1
existing fighting equipment to Other
nations, the President explained
that the 100000 estimate OF
value is an in-between figure aver
aging the original cost and the po'
tential value as scrap. This esti-
mate it not a final determination

Would End 'QuibbHng'

NEW YORK, April 4 lP>.-Dr.
John R. Steelman, director of the
United States Cancellation Service,
told deadlocked soft coal operators
and miners today 1T is imperative"
that the mines be reopened by Mon
day. and that the public cannot
condone Quibbling while 400,00 men
and IS per cent of the Nations
bituminous mines stand idle"
with due regard to the national
emergency and in the interest of
the public" Dr. Steelman said in
statement, 1T is suggested that the
United Mine Workers of America
&C. I. o. and the bituminous coal
operators agree to reopen the mines.
Further conferences looking to a
negotiated agreement should pro-
ceed as soon as possible, with the
understanding that any changes
made affecting earnings be retro
active to the date workers resume"
DIR. Steelman Is Optimistic.
DR.. Steelman gave no indication
of what position the Government
would take if the conferees did not
assure reopening, but appeared opti-
mistic that the Federal request
would be met fully.
Miner and operator representa-
tives made no comment upon Dr.
SteelmanS statement, but agreed to
resume negotiations at pm. today.
The mines in the eight-State
Appalachian Area have been idle
since Monday midnight. President
Roosevelt urged that the negotia-
tions be continued to prevent a
stoppage and lessen any danger to
the nations defense effort. A 48-
hour period of extended negotia-
tions, which had been agreed upon,
expired last midnight.
In announcing the further extern
sion of deliberations, DR.. Steelman
explained, this is done to assure the
public that the mines will be re-
opened by Monday"
Seek 81 Per Day Increase.
The soft coal miners are seeking
blanket S1-a-day increase, or a
fiat a-day-Wage, instead of the
existing S6 in the north and $3.50
in the south; guaranteed 200
working days a year and annual
two-Week vacations with pay.
Elimination of the wage differen-
tial between northern and southern
fields is understood to be the princi-
pal obstacle to an agreement.
Watching the bituminous nego-
tiationS closely were representatives
of anthracite operators and miners.
who will confer next week on a
new contract to replace one expiring
April 80.
Among proposals to be presented
at the anthracite conference will be
one presented to the Tri-District
Convention of the U. M. w. A. by
its Scale Committee. recommending
S1-a-day increase for workers paid
by the day or month and a 20 per
cent increase for those working on
a tonnage basis,
The Scale Committee also recon-
mended annual two-week vacations
with pay, time and half for over
time, double time for Sundays and
holidays and an agreement that
none working around the mines
receive less than s4.62 for 7-hour
day.
The existing anthracite contract
provides for a minimum of S462 a
day for outside workers, s5.96 for
company miners and varying for
tonnage rates.
The Tri-District Convention dele
gates represent more than 100000

the kind of spirit needed in this coun-

we must be, in the face of danger. But
SO far there is no need for this prog
ram of saving. Of course there may
be fewer new utensils Of certain types
for some time to come, and substitutes
may be employed in the making of
various household articles such as re
frigerators and vacuum cleaners and
thermometers
Manufacturers are working ON a
substitute for tin cans. But there IS no
indication so far that the aluminium
or tin we could save at home would
make enough difference to defense pro

10000 coffee percolators to furnish
enough aluminium for just one bomber'
