CHURCHILL GIVES
FAITH TO WRITER

Thus, he rallies men to his stand
ard because he engages that which
is noble in them. And even in his
wrath against the enemy, which
lis awe-inspiring, there is not the
malice of the small man, but the
chivalry of the good warrior.
In these energies of the spirit,
he radiates upon the cause in
which we are ged an habitual
vision of greatness. The war, as
he reveals it, is not only strategy
and logistics and production, not
a mere series of bombings, land
ings, ship movements, factory
schedules, rationing and taxes, but
the historic drama of our century.
Nations cannot wage war of this
magnitude unless they carry with
them in their minds and hearts
such a measure of it's depth and
its scope.
That is why our spirits languish

The air is foul and stale with

called ''the synne of accidie"-

For the army and navy it was

it was a real and lethal climax
to week-long hammering of crit

the continent, preliminry not only
to today's channel rehearsal but
to the approaching decisive strug-
gle for mastery of the continent.

a 7-hour day of time actually spent
at the coal face.
In negotiating for new contract,
Mr.. Lewis demanded pay for time
spent in underground travel. The
understanding worked out with Mr..
Ickes was this:
A basic wage Of $3.50 for a g.
hour day, including both working
and travel time. Mr.. Ickes and Mr..
Lewis calculated average travel time
at As minutes and allowed Is min
utes for lunch. Using these figures,
the miners productive work day
would be increased from 7 to hours
and the WLB approved the $1.50 in
crease as allowable for an additional;
hours work.
There have been contentious from
some operators, however, that travel
time far exceeds As minutes in some
mines, with the result that the addi-
tional working time is less than an
hour. At the WLB's request
President Roosevelt has appointed a
commission to determine actual
travel time.

District Coal Supply
Held dAdequate;;S
In Other Cities Short

While acute coal shortages were
reported from many communities.
Washington dealers indicated today
that they were not alarmed about
'the situation in the District.
Supplies here are limited, it was
said, but coal is coming in, although
not enough to keep the community
on much more than a day-to-day
basis. One dealer viewed the local
situation as "over the hump" and
pointed out that increased Ship
ments can be expected when present
diversions to colder Northern areas
are halted.
New York, Buffalo, Baltimore and
ST. Louis were among the major
cities from which there were reports
OF critically short supplies. In
Baltimore and St. Louis, many
householders could get only bushel
or two at a time
Buffalo May Suffer.
Great distress was predicted in
Buffalo unless shipments were re-
ceived in considerable quantities
Immediately. Philadelphia dealers
were making only emergency deliv-
cries of anthracite.
In Dayton. Ohio, the shortage was
reported so acute that the Portland
Cement Co. closed its plant there,
laying off 100 workers. At Pitts
ourgh. councilman called on the
city to issue instructions to house
holders on economical firing of fur
naces. Richmond, Va, experiencing
an acute shortage, was among the
cities expecting turn for the better
as soon as cold weather sets in.
Ihls seeming paradox is explained
by the fact that many mines are
now sending virtually their entire
output to Great Lakes points in
race against winters closing of the
Lakes to navigation. Once Lake
shipping halts, mine output will be
turned to other centers.
New Regulations Expected.
DlStrlbutive controls over soft coal
are expected to be announced bv the
SOLID Fuels Administration before
the end of the week. These would
supplement the anthracite reeula-
tons issued yesterday.
Hard coal buyers now must fur
nlsh written statements as to stocks
on hand and annual requirements,
The new regulations also limit de-
llveries to two tons to consumers
OF less than IL tons annually who
have less than two tons on hand
Larger consumers may obtain any
quantity, provided the amount de-
llVered, plus stocks on hand, do not
exceed a 3o-day supply. The regu-
iatlons apply to the entire Eastern
region.
This years series Of coal strikes
is estimated by Government officials
to have resulted in lost coal produc-
ton of 100000 tons. But they
asserted that output and reserve
supplies would meet all needs.

They will discuss wages as we'll as
prices, crop production, stabilization
and pending demands for more pay.
Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture
Committee wound up three days OF
testimony on antisubsidy legislation
with several members predicting
eventual passage of the subsidy ban
Senator Lucas, Democrat, OF
Illinois, susually9 an administration
supporter, said he still hoped COM
promise could he worked out under
which time limitation, rather than
complete prohibition, would be
placed in subsidies.

Senator Lucas said he feared the
result would be imitation overnight"
with prices and wages spiraling up

If that happens God help the
white-collar worker. the clerks,
teachers and the people whose wages
are more or less fixed" Senator
Lucas added.
Senators Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma and Bushheld, Repub-
lican, Of South Dakota, members of
the Agriculture Committee, both
said they felt that Senate passage
of the antisubsidy legislation was
likely by an overwhelming" vote,
though they were doubtful that the
subsidy foes had sufficient strength
to override a presidential veto.
Said Senator Ellender, Democrat,
Of Louisiana:
I'm for subsidies now, but I'm
not going to continue to be for them
If the administration allows wages
to 60 any higher, as they were al
lowed to go In the case of the
miners. If wages are allowed to 20
up there is no valid reason why farm
prices shouldn't go up, too"
Senator Ellender said he didn't
believe that antisubsidy sentiment
was as strong among farmers gen.
orally as it was pictured by farm
organization leaders and State agri-
culture department officials who
were invited to testify before the
Senate Agriculture Committee.
Farmers are better off now
financially than they have been for
many years." Senator Ellender said.
The leaders of the farm organiza-
tions are the ones raising most OF
the cry for price increases"

Mr.. Hull shook hands with Vice
President Wallace and Mr.. Rayburn
and with the members of the COM
mittee who had escorted him to the
chamber. He was loudly applauded
again as he left the House.
Mrs. Hull occupied a front seat
in the executive gallery Of the
House as did Undersecretary of
State Stettinius and also Norman
Davis, head Of the American Red
Cross. Three members of the cabi-
net, Secretary of the Navy Knox,
Postmaster General Walker and
Secretary of Commerce Jones occu-
pied seats in front Of the rostrum.
Justice Frank Murphy sat with the
Senators.
Further Talks Proposed.
Senators planned tentatively to
arrange luncheon for him in the
Capitol next Tuesday at which they
could expect to hear more intimate
details of his talk with Marshal
Stain.
The Secretary has found strong
bipartisan support in Congress
for his declaration that the set
tlement of European border dis
putes must await the end of the
war, but Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio suggested as an alternative
the establishment Of provisional
boundaries.
Chairman Connally Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
he agreed heartily with Mr.. Hull's
view that the 30 or more potential
controversies cannot be resolved at
this time, and Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia voiced the
opinion it would be exceedingly
dangerous" to attempt to do so.
Boundaries have been a prolific
source Of international Ill will
through the centuries and to attempt
to fix border lines while the war is
going on might cause the United
Nations to fall out and weaken the
war effort" Senator George de-
clared.
Senator White, Republican, of
Maine, member Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee and acting
leader, said he believed
these questions would have to wait
until the war is won, but Senator
Taft urged that some steps be taken
to prevent an outbreak of small wars
after general fighting ceases.
1t seems to me it would be desir-
able to fix now provisional boun-
diaries so that there will be no in
centive to grab additional territory
for bargaining purposes at the peace
table," he said. I'VE certainly don't
want recurrence of the events such
as those which led to the fighting
between Poland and Czechoslovakia
after the last war"

Inferior Officials Hope
For Quick Agreement
OF UNIV, Owners

By the Associated Press.
With coal mine wage negotia-
tions of to fresh start, Interior
Department officials were hope
full today of an early agreement
which would permit an end to
Government possession Of the
mines.
Operators representing approx
imately half the Nations soft coal
tonnage accepted Secretary Ickes
invitation to undertake negotiations
with the United Mine Workers yes
terday. The notable absentees were
the Southern Coal Operators Asso-
citation and the captive mines, which
are owned by the steel companies
Mr.. Ickes' aides did not regard the
absence Of the Southern group nee
essarily as rundown and expressed
hope that representatives eventually
would join the conference.
Harry Moses, spokesman for the
captive mines, said, however, he did
not plan to participate. With ILL.,
nois and Indiana participating. the
new conference erased the geo.
graphical lines of the Appalachian
Negotiating Committee, but Mr.
Moses said he had not withdrawn
from the Appalachian Committee as
such.
1ckes Watching Them.
With meetings being held in the
interior Department, Mr.. Ickes and
his aides will be on hand to keep
the conferees going until contracts
nave been written. It is expected
That any agreements will be condi-
tlonal not only on War Labor Board
approval but also on the full Gov
ernment authorization of ADEQUATE
prices. Coal men said Mr.. Ickes
TOLD them a contract with the
miners would act as a lever on OPA
to get the price increases he be-
lieves justified.
That objective, of course. offers
no lnducement to the captive mines
which not only sell no coal to the
pubic, but are purchasers of coal
With steel capacity at a new high
many of the mills owning captive
mines find it necessary to buy a
supplementary tonnage from com
mercial producers.
Ine renewal OF negotiations. how
ever, may mark the first step to-
ward new coal crisis.
Three public members of the WIR
have openly expressed doubt that
they could approve a union-owner
contract embodying the temporary
working agreement Mr.. Ickes and
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, signed. These
members-Chairman William H
Davis, Vice Chairman George Tav-
lor and DR.. Frank Graham-also
raised the question whether the
government needs more power to
deal with recalcitrant unions.
The question raised by the WLB
members concerning the Ickes-
Lewis agreement is how much addi-
tlonal working time it actually re-
quires OF miners. Under the old
contract which expired last April

The text Of the Presidents mes
sage:
1T Is pleasure to extend greet
ings and good wishes to the six New
England Governors and to the New
England Council on the occasion OF
the 10th New England conference.
which is also its second war con-
ference.
ut is no accident that in this
great crisis New England has
achieved remarkable records both
in patriotism and production; and
that in this conference it proposes
to plan for greater contributions to
the war effort.
From Colonial days onward, New
Englands town meetings have fur
nished an outstanding example of
the successful union between indi-
Vldual initiative and community CO.
operation. What has long been a
symbol IN country at peace, today
becomes a stimulant to a nation
at war. The six New England
States represented at this Second
New Englanod War Conference pre-
sent proudly to the rest of the Ma
ton a stirring demonstration of
the fact that community co-opera-
ton and individual enterprise must
be combined for maximum accom-.

Part of Fighting Front.
New England is, literally, a part
Of the fighting front-in the fac
tory that produces the tools of
war, in the assembly of these tools,
and IN the men who use them. In
very real sense, then, New Eng
land, and particularly this second
war conference, is a meeting place
OF history and of hope"
The message was read to the con.
ference by Edward E. Chase. presi-
dent of the New England Council.
which sponsored the gathering.
Mr.. Chase, who is chairman OF
the conference, declared in a speech
prepared for the Governors session
that while New England must give
first place to the interests of the
Nation until the war is won, it must
subordinate, but no abandon, it's
regional interests.
On the food front. M. Clifford
Townsend, a special representative
OF the War Food Administration, de-
clared that Americas first aim
should be production of we'll

 "I do not blame you for want ing to safeguard the secret of your island,' Rick Moth said. You should feel glad that Lita and I arc two loyal Americans who do not wish to divulge even a hint as to its existence"

 Nothing in Brit's voice indicated either pleasure or displeasure at the interruption.

 Brit laughed. It was q short laugh, expressive of nothing ex- cept that he was thinking of what had been said.
 Lita'S voice could be heard now.

 She could see Lita's face. And now she could hear Litas words:
