WHAT would the japanese

Well, not having seen one Of

Secretary Stimson said, whether
that approach to the problem is
warranted by the known facts or
will really afford justice to the per-
sons affected or to the public in
terest."
He suggested it might be better to
provide for an increase both in the
amount Of the soldiers and the
Governments contributions.
If the terms Of the Lodge bill were
carried out, Secretary Stimson esti-
mated, the additional cost to the
Government would be $215 900 900
year.
Senator johnson predicted the
committee would approve modest"
increase in the allowances, and said
he doubted there would be any siz-
able opposition in Congress.
Two Classes in Present Law.
The present law has only two
classes of dependents, A and B. A
covers wife and children, and the
soldiers contribution to that class
is so. Glass B covers parents,
brothers, sisters or grandchildren,
and If Government allotments are
being made to both classes, the
soldier puts up an additional IS.
The new plan adds a third category
class B-1. Glass B would continue
to cover cases where the relatives
are dependent on the soldier for "A
substantial portion" OF their sup
port. Glass B-1 would apply where
the parents. brothers or sisters were
dependent on the soldier "for the
chief portion" of their support.
In B-1 the allotment to one parent
would be $50; to two parents, $6s;
one parent and one brother or sister,
$68, with an additional $l1 for each
additional brother or sister: two
parents and one brother or sister,

While Senators johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado and Lodge were
having the plan outlined to them in
the subcommittee. Chairman Rey-
nolds Of the Military Affairs Com
mittee introduced a bill embodying
the recommendations of the military
services.
Senator Johnson said the Budget
Bureau has not had time to pass
judgment on the new bill, which is
estimated to cost 1898, ,000,00 year.
Lodge Not Adamant.
Senator Lodge said he was not
welded to his IS per cent fiat in
crease all through the schedule OF
benefits. adding he is inclined to
think" the new departmental recon-
mendations are good. He said his
main object is to get some action.
The officials who testified. he said,
felt the need for increased allot-
ments is greater in the case of chill
dren and aged parents than in the
case of wives. who may be able to
help support themselves.
Earlier, Chairman johnson of the
subcommittee made public a War
Department report urging the COM
mittee to delay action on the meas
ure until it could present an analysis
of the need for increases.
In this report, Secretary Stimson
said the War Department "is salts
fled that facts of common knowledge
with respect to present day living
costs indicate that there is justifica-
ton for giving favorable considera-
ton to some increases for certain
categories of dependents.

This is particularly the case as
regards those dependents who will
come into the. picture if selective
service begins inducing substantial
numbers of married men with chill
dren," Secretary Stimson wrote. He
noted that the present act was not
drawn in contemplation of any i'm
minent necessity for inducing large
numbers of men. thus situated"
Secretary Stimson pointed out the
Lodge bill would make blanket in
crease of Is per cent in the Govern
ment's contribution for all categor-
les of dependents. A married man
in the lower ranks of the Army or
Navy now contributes $22 and the
Government $28 to provide $50
monthly for his wife. The Govern
ment pays $l2 additional for one
child and $40 more for each addi-
tional child.

Ickes Denies Plans
For Naturalization
Of Coal Industry
Expresses Doubt Whether
Ample Fuel for Nations
Needs Can Be Mined
By the Associated Press.

Secretary Ickes told the House
Ways and Means Committee to-
day the Government has mo de-
sire and no plans for the nation
alization" Of the coal industry
and hopes to return the mines to
private ownership "at the earliest
possible moment"
He was unable to say. he added,
when return would be possible but
said the Government, which took
over the mines during the recent
strike, would seize the first oppor-
tunity to return them to private
ownership"
That opportunity. he added, would
come when there Is reasonable as
surance" that the miners would
work for private owners, or when
the workers and the operators signed
a contract.
Mr.. Ickes. whom President Roose-
velt placed In charge Of Government
operation Of the mines Nav l, was
called to testify on legislation to ex-
tend the life Of the GufYey Coal Act
designed to stabilize the bituminous
coal industry through q system of
minimum prices on q regional basis.
He said he favored extension Of
the act. which will expire August 23
unless continued by Congress. Pend
ing legislation would continue the
act until two years after the end
Of the war.
Il still hope that Government
operation will be exceedingly brief"
Secretary Ickes said but I regret
to say there is nothing that leads
me to believe that this will be So"
In calling Mr.. Ickes, the commit
tee announced 1t desired specifically
to know what the Governments
plans were with respect to operation
OF the mines. The Interior Secre-
tary said he has no authority to
compel the miners to 60 back to
work.
MY Job is to mine coal and pro-
pose to do it," Mr.. Ickes said. TT is
now touch and 60 as to whether we
will mine enough coal to meet the
Nations requirements"
Since April /, he told the commit
tee, production of coal has been
% 900 900 tons below schedule.
Because of the uncertainty in the
minds of the operators, Mr.. Ickes
testified, and hesitancy to make cap
ital outlays, there has arisen cha
otic situation" which will have an
adverse result on coal production.
Representatives of the Government,
OF labor and OF operators, he said,
are working on "a sensible, conserva- =
tive program to obtain maximum
production.
Secretary Ickes announced he had
signed orders taking over the prop
critics and assets of an additional
$50 mine companies which were
omitted Through inadvertence"
when most Of the larger coal mine
properties were taken over.
The companies, each of which
produces so tons or more Of coal a
day, are scattered through the coal
producing areas and include both
anthracite and bituminous coal
companies, he said
