SPECIAL APPEAL MADE

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt last night in spec
lal broadcast to the striking coal
miners, told them that every idle
miner is directly and individually
obstructing the war effort.
The President said that coal
production stoppage, even for
short time would involve a gamble
with the lives of American soldiers
and sailors dt stake and the future
security of our whole people.
1T would involve an unwarrant-
I'd and unnecessary terribly dan
ferrous gamble with our chances
for victory he said.
Calling on the essential patrio-
tism of the miners and the non
strike pledge of the major labor
organizations, he added, tomorrow
the Stars and Stripes will fly over
the coal mines. I hope every miner
will be at work under that flag

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON.-Here. is what
happened behind the scenes l t
week in the coal mine negotiations
which made John L. Lewis so boil
ing mad.
Charles O'Neill, representing the
Northern coal operators, fatty re-
fused to make any counterpart
posals to the United Mine Workers
demand for So day increase.
Lewis had proposed that even If
the coal operators couldn't meet
those demands, they should offer
something and then, by continued
negotiations, it might be possible
to find a basis for agreement.
."Offer us something, even if its
only two cents day increase,
pleaded the big miner, so we'll
have something to negotiate on
mo, we're standing pat" re-
piled O'Neill, knowing he had
President Roosevelt behind him,
also wanting to get the dispute
before the War Labor Board. I'VE
will agree to no wage increase"
"All right, will you offer counter
proposals to some of our other
demands. not involving money!"
Lewis persisted.
This met with another turn down
from O'Neill, who had insisted al
most from the start of Cancellation
talks in New York that the mine
dispute be turned over to the War
Labor Board. And he knew that
any counter proposal by him would
delay reference to the Board.
We'll if that's the way you feel
about it, you know our position, "

a new contract when the 30-day
extension expires on April 30, we

Until a few weeks ago, Mr.. Gross

Heavy Rain and Wind
Damage Eastern Shore
By the Associated Press.

Heavy rains and a northeaSter
which damaged crops and commun-
ication lines along the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland and Virginia and
caused the sinking of one ship and
few small craft near Cape Charles,
today had put an end to the drought
which had outlasted the harvest sea-
son in some areas of the two States.
An inch of rain in Baltimore
wound up one of the dryest summers
on record and proved the heaviest
rain in more than o-and-a- half
months. Western Maryland had a
half inch of rain which helped the
crops little.
The doWnpour came too late to
provide much help for most of the
States crops, although pastures were
aided and paintings of winter wheat
helped.
1t was reported from Cape Charles,
Va. by way of Norfolk, that one
vessel was sunk three miles off Cape
Charles, its crew reaching shore
safely in lifeboats.
Several small. privately owned
craft sank at their moorings at Cape
Charles and Oyster, five miles away.
The Pennsylvania steamer, Del
marva, Cancelled it's night run from
Norfolk to Cape Charles and the
Little Creek Cape Charles ferries
did not operate.
Electric service in many homes
along the Delmarva Peninsula was
disrupted, approximately 1000 tele-
phones were out of service, and tele-
graph lines were broken as result
of the coastal storm, which ap-
parently has subsidized. Fallen trees
and winds of gale intensity caused
the breaks in the power and COM
munications lines.
Ocean City reported only minor
damage, with two-hour Interrupt
ton of electric service. Waves along
the waterfront at the resort. now
closed for the season. were hign and
the water rough, but no damage was
caused.
Repairs were effected by utilities
companies during the day and by
late afternoon service was nearly
normal.

Incentive Work Plan
For Grumman Plant
Wins WLB Approval
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board approved
today an incentive work plan for
employees of the Grumman Aircraft
Engineering Corp. Long Island, N
Y, on condition that the program
conforms with the national stabil-
ization policy and is voluntarily
agreed to by management and work.
erS.
Described by the boards vice
chairman, DR.. George w. Taylor, as
"a brand-new venture" with an
"alluring prospect" for increasing
the production of war materials and
helping to solve the manpoWer
problem, the Grumman plan estab-
fishes production Of .48 pound of
airplane frame q man-hour worked
as base for computing production
Increases warranting incentive pay
mentS.
Above that base, a l per cent
wage increase will be paid for every
2 per cent of increased production.
One of 800 Plans Offered.
One of approximately 300 incen-
tive plans submitted to the board
for approval. the Grumman proposal
is the first to elicit a statement on
policy. The figure of .48 pound
was established by the company as
fair and representative production
base.
At a press conference DR. Taylor
said that. although other incentive
plans had been approved, this was
the first "over-all' plan affecting all
workers in plant to be approved
by the bmoard
The differential between the l per
cent wage increase and the 2 per
cent production increase, he said
was approved because it will allow
for production increases resulting
from something other than worker
energy. For example, he said, pro-
duction might be increased by in
PRODUCTION of a new machine or by
changing the model of a plane, some
thing the workers would have moth
ing to do with.
CIO Members Approve.
CIO members of the board, Carl
J. Shipley and John Brophy. said
they had disagreed with the dif-
ferential between production in
crease and wage increase. but ap-
proved it because it had been SUBJ
mitted voluntarily by the manage
ment and the plants thousands OF
employees.
Mr.. Shipley told reporters he felt
confident labor would go along with
incentive plans which comply with
board policy because labor recog-
nizes the need for increasing pro-
duction in wartime. He added, how
ever, he felt production and wage
percentage increases should be
equal in any future plans approved
The Grumman plan is effective as
Of September !.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. "A dispatch
reaching here from Switzerland to-
day quoted Gen. Draja Mihailovich

ton forces.
The dispatch quoted him further
as saying his troops are not at

being Waged against the Axis in
Northeastern Italy and along the
Adriatic coast.
The dispatch was from the Dagens
Nyheters Zurich correspondent, who
said Hihailovich had sent him a
personal letter by traveller recently
arrived from the Balkins. The cor
respondent, whose name was given
as Singer, said he had become per-
sonally acquainted with the general
while working in Yugoslavia some
years ago.
Il already have told the British

and will begin to fight when the

What we are going to do then
will completely put in the shade the
