ROOSEVELT BACKS
WLB JURISDICTION
Continued from Page ID


The board has announced that
unless a negotiated settlement not
involving an increase in wage rates
is reached by independent negotia-
ton between Lewis and the opera
tors, it will go ahead with consid-
Grafton of the merits of Lewis
demands and review any independ-
ent agreement involving a wage
increase.
Lewis, who called out his $4,000
soft and hard coal miners last week
after refusing to submit to the
boards Jurisdiction and then ar
ranged a truce with solid fuels ad-
ministrator Harold L. 1ckes, is
Standing by" for word from the
miners new employer"-the gov
eminent. He gave no indication
whether he would accept Mr.. Roose-
velt's terms.
A UNIV official here, who some
times is a spokesman for Lewis,
said: "Mr. Lewis position as re-
CARDS the War Labor Board has not
changed"
The WLB ended speculation as to
the role it intends to take by re-
assuming jurisdiction with the
warning to Lewis that he could ex-
pect no special consideration.
THE uninterrupted production Of
coal must go forward under the
contract terms and conditions that
existed on and prior to March 81,
until the differences that now sep
arate the parties are peaceably and
finally resolved" the board said.
Emphasizing that it acts under
authority of the president as COM
mander-in-chief in time of war,
the board said:
"Its procedure Is based on the
principle that the authority which
1t administers must be applied
equally and without discrimination
to all men under like circum-
stances"
The board, while holding open the
door to a negotiated peace said 1t
would proceed as expeditiously as
possible In considering the dispute
unless the parties request adjourn
ment to continue negotiations be-
tween themselves under War La
board Board Jurisdiction.
Neither Lewis nor the mine own
ers, operating as agents of the gov
eminent, have indicated TO the
board any desire TO resume direct
negotiations. IckeS and the board
made it plain they will not ask
for a resumption.

customary used for all travel.
Only meager reports of the acct

several bodies were recovered, only
that of Andrews was identified im-
mediately, 1t was said. The an
nouncement of the identity of other
victims under army regulations must
await notification Of the next OF kin.
The crash came as Allied often
sive preparations were In full swing
and authorities acknowledged that
there was bound to be an interlude
before any new commander can
familiarize himself W Ii the multi
tudinous details Of tie vast Amer
lean military operations In this the
alter.
Andrews Is the highest ranking u.
s. general killed In World war and
Is the eighth officer of star rank
dead or missing since Pearl Harbor.
Associates said he had Just fin
ished whipping his huge organiza-
ton into shape for Its expected eX-
pansion preparatory to the invasion
of western Europe. He came here In
February from Cairo, where he had
commanded American forces In the
middle-eastern theater, TO succeed
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, elevate
ed to supreme Allied commander In
the Mediterranean theater.
He had worked hard familiarizing
himself with every phase OF the
American set-up and was looking
forward to completing his formal
inspections so that he could con-
centrate even more fully on the
plans for ting Germany.

who along with Andrews personal

here. But the old mans luck fin
ally ran out"
Dubois said he and Smith hadn't
gone this time because "he had toe
many passengers"
Smith said, II Just can't believe
1t don't understand IT.
He took off Monday with q num-

It was possible that the griSzled

himself when the plane crashed. As
sociates said II would have been ir
keeping with his character II he hat
taken them over when the plant
got into difficulties
Andrews Travelled almost eXclu.
