 If the plan works as well as MT. Roosevelt and Churchill evidently expect, the convoy issue rapidly will diminish in domestic and interna- tional political importance. A Sen- ate foreign relations committee test of convoy sentiment is scheduled kor Wednesday when the anti-con- voy resolution of Sen. Charles w. 'NTobey, R., N. H., comes up for con- siteration. Democratic leaders are confident they can defeat the reso- 1ution and leave Mir Roosevelt free to use the navy as circumstances may seem to require.

 Davis effort was an appeal to the miners and operators to accept the formula proposed by the president on April 2l--reopening of all mines immediately: continuation of nego- tiations and retroactive application of any wage gains.
 Southern operators, employing i50,000 of the industry's 4O0O00 miners, again rejected this plan. The United Mine Workers and northern operators offered again to accept, provided the southerners did.
 The controversy is over contract to replace the oen which expired March 31. Northern operators and the UNIV have agreed on terms. including c $i increase in the basic wage rate to $7 per day Southern operators have baked at union de- mands for elimination of the wage differential between north and south. Northern miners refuse to return to work until the southern miners go back.
 Meanwhile. the coal supply dwin- dles. A survey of defense ofiicials disclosed that there is only enough to last the country as Q whole until May 8.
