Ig:sed W lneinbers of the lpSilanti

heard.

ance. which is slated to go into ef-
feet Dec. I. members stated, declar-
ing however that all changes must
be through amendment. Objections
OF property owners concerned most
ly the fact that particular parcels OF
land are not in desired zones.
Chief objection came from own
ers Of property where business de.
yelopment would logically be ex-
pected. In several such areas. they
stated, there are restrictions that
will interfere with development,
only residence coming having been
provided. Such DIRECTORS contend
ed that this plan viii drive business
TO other areas at the expense Of
property owners interested in de-
yelopment OF a thriving commun-

Threat Of an injunction restrain
ing the township from putting the
new ordinance into effect has not
yet developed into action. although
some OF the property owners state
that ii will be considered.

ing will be for the purpose OF dis
cussing the proposed question OF

Coal Men Not
in Agreement
on Contract

Washington. Nov. fins Ne.
gotiations for a new nationwide
agreement between soft coal oper-
ators and the United Mine Work
ers were deadlocked today by the
refusal OF southern producers TO
accept a portal-toportal contract.
With the wage conference re
cessed over the week end, observ-
ers watched for signs OF a split
in the southern ranks which might
lead part of the group TO join the
10 per cent OF the nations mine
owners ready TO sign with UNIV
President John l.. Lewis.
Barring such a split or an out
right reversal Of the South's po-
sition, Fuel Administrator Harold
L. Ickes is expected 10 step into
the picture Monday to break the
deadlock Lewis has refused TO
sign a contract with only part of
the industry.
Ickes has warned that a new
wage agreement must be signed be
tween the operators and Lewis to
replace the temporary pact be
tween Lewis and the government
before the mines will be restored
TO private ownership.
At an unprecedented meeting al
tended by operators from virtually
every coal field in the country,
Lewis obtained the assent OF more
than two thirds OF the owners to
a contract based on the temporary
agreement which he signed with
lckes.

OF the mine digging coal, with mo
pay for travel time.

contract paying the miners the
same wages as they receive under

India May
Get Relief

Atlantic City. Nov. 27-UP-The
United Nations Relief and Rehabil-
itation Administration today faced
the issue OF whether It will come
TO the relief OF midas famine stf-
terers, reported dying off at the
rate OF thousands weekly and, whom
the present AZ nations conference
has decided are outside It's pale.
The issue was injected into the
conference yesterday by J. J..
Singh, former member OF the ALI
India Party Congress and head Of
the American India League. In an
unofficial news conference Singh
reported that the delegates TO UN-
IRA were Overwhelmingly in favor
OF giving aid to India.
But. he asserted, the Indian agent
general to Washington and the In
dian delegate to the conference, Sir
Gijga Shankar Bajpai, had refused
to offer a resolution extending re-
lief to the famine sufferers Of India.
Singh said he received the i'm
preston in the New York headquar-
tiers OF the American India League
that the UNRRA conference had no
sympathy for the Indian famine suf-
ferers. On arrival here. he said, he
found that most OF the delegates
were favorable to relieving the fam
inc in the Bengal area.
Singh made public an exchange
Of letters with Dean Acheson. as
sistant secretary OF state and Unit

that relief for India was outside the

.PopeSeeks


Washington, Nov. Gins 1t
was learned authoritatively today
that Pope Plus XII has asked the
United States, Great Britain and
Germany for definite guarantees
that the Vatican will not be bomb
ed again by the air forces OF any Of
the warning powers.
This move follows the bombing
OF the Vatican by an unidentified
plane on the night OF November
5.
The United States government Is
understood TO be willing to give
a solemn promise that the Ameri-
can afr forces will never DELHI
erately drop any bombs on the
Vatican. II is assumed that Great
Britain and Germany will do like
wise. The problem. however. is
to make tie guaranty effective in
the case OF the Nazis. who are be-
lieved TO have been responsible for
the November 5 bombing.
The effort to safeguard the Watt
can is understood to be the rea-
son for the current diplomatic &C
tivity between the papal represen-
tatives and the American. British
and German governments.
According TO Swiss reports. the
pope received the American, Brit
ish and German ENJOYS to>fhe va
tican this week. The APOSTOLIC
delegate in Washington. Monsig.
neur Z 'ovanni Cicognani. also con-
ferred with Under Secretary Of
state Edward r. stettinius,, Jr.

This diplomatic activity gave rise
to speculation that the Pope was
making a new effort to bring abort
peace in Europe Authoritative
sources. however. said these rum
ors were incorrect. adding that
safeguarding the Vatican was the
purpose Of the current discussions.
