BULLETIN.

MADRID tP>.-The Spanish
destroyer Ielilla returned to
Ell Ferrol naval base today
after a fruitless 24-hour
search for survivors of the
London-bound airliner shot
down by a Nazi raider Tues
day. Officials said the sea
was too rough to permit a
rubber life raft to remain long
affoat.
By the Associated Press.
LISBON, June 3.-A radio
Roma message from Madrid said
today a Spanish fishing boat had
rescued five Britons from the
Britain-bound airliner shot down
Tuesday over the Bay Of Biscay.
The survivors were taken from a
rubber life raft, the message said.
They were not identified in this
dispatch.)
"a Madrid dispatch broadcast
by the Berlin radio and recorded
by the Associated Press, said the
Spanish fishing steamer Evaristo
Nunez had picked up six British
alrmen whose machine had been
shot down shortly before.
Whether their craft was a pas
senger liner or combat plane was
not specified.
This account, which moved
through enemy propaganda
channels, said the fishing boat
had been attacked by other Brit
ish planes some hours before and
after the rescue)
LONDON, June 3 (P).-Belief pre-
vailed in some quarters here TODAY
that the Germans were cunning for
Prime Minister Churchill when they
shot down Britain bound airline1
bringing Leslie Howard and II
other passengers from Lisbon Tues
day.
Reports said there was a greater
concentration of Nazi planes over
the Bay of Biscay-Where the liner
was last heard from while under at
tack-than at any one time in many
months, and they were said to be
pouncing on every aircraft they
spotted.
1t might be assumed, observers
held, that the Germans were out to
get Mr.. Churchill, believing he might
be coming home from Washington
via that route.
German-controlled radio stations
had put out various stories about
the Prime Minister'S whereabouts
during the last week.

BY the Associated Press.
Rear Admiral Harry E. Yarnell
said today there is a grave pos
sibility" that the Chinese Ma
tionalist government may col
lapse unless effective aid is forth
coming soon.
Testifying before the House I'M
migration Committee in support of
legislation to repeal the Chinese Ex-
clusion Acts, the retired commander
in chief of the Asiatic Fleet said
effect of the repeal on the Allied
cause would compare with Russia S
dissolution of the Comintern.
Need for Equality.
Asserting that the main attack on
Japan must come from China, Ad-
miral Yarnell added that the most
effective means of strengthening the
determination of the Chinese to
fight on until adequate assistance
can be given is to consider China
'by act as we'll as by word" equal
in every respect with the other
Allied nations.
Although expressing belief that
Russia and Japan will go to war
the witness said Russian bases could
not be relied on because they prob
ably will be occupied by japanese
troops.
This leaves the mainland of
China as the only area from which
long-range bombers can reach
Japan" he added.
William p. Hunt, former member
of the consular service in China anc
later shipping operator in the
Orient who was interned at Hong
Kong after the outbreak of the war
told the committee the Chinese
"are being inoculated' by Japanese
propaganda based on the exclusion
laws.
Sees Postwar Trade Barrier.
Il don't think we can Withstand
the postwar trade competition ir
China if this statute remains or
the books" he added.
c. V. Starr, head of the American
International Underwriters, an in.
surance corporation with interests ir
the Far East, and a resident OF
China for 20 years, testified the Chi.
nese ARE our natural friends, moi
only during this war, but perma-
nently," adding:
| The Chinese deserve to be
treated on the same basis of equality
as other people"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June s.
Gov. Prentice Cooper today au-
thorized the reclassification by
local draft boards of all Ten
nessee miners now away from
work and directed that the
board proceed to reclassify those
within the required age limits
for induction into the armed
forces.
Under this directive, occupational
deferment previously granted miners
as essential workers would be re-
moved.
f. Gov. Cooper said that Tennessee
was the first State to take such ac-
ton and that changing the draft
status of idle miners approaches
the problem from q different angle"
than those used heretofore to solve
labor disputes.

Ask President
To Slash Prices
Green and Murruy
Urge $2,000,0 900, 900
For Food Subsidies

After a conference called by
President Roosevelt, members of
the Labor War Board this after
noon told newsmen they had
called for less talk and more
action by the Office of Price
Administration to roll back food
prices.
Philip Murray, CIO president, and
William Green, AFL president
spokesmen for the Labor War Board
members who had attended the
hour-and-half conference, said they
had urged President Roosevelt to
give his full support for a $4,000 ,O00,-
600 grant for subsidies to hold down
food prices.
They contended that Administra-
tor Prentiss Brown is unable to
deal with "the requirements of the
situation" arising from increased
food prices.

Members of the combined Labor
War Board said they did not ask

they did protest the appointment OF
Lou Maxon as deputy price admin
istrator on grounds that his policies
run counter to rolling back prices

control
The labor representatives said the
coal strike was not even mentioned
at the conference.
Mr. Murray said that he would
say" that the Presidents reaction
was favorable.
The labor leaders want prices of
food stabilized at the May, 1912,
level. they said. They left state
ment with the President, Mr. Murray
said, that the $4,000 900, 900 grant
would be about four times the
amount that Great Britain is spend
ing for food subsidies. Mr.. Murray
said he feels that this country can
afford ar expenditure of that size
in view of the fact that a sos, ,0O0,-
100000 expenditure for war purposes
is contemplated this year.
Cite Soaring Prices.
Mr.. Green said they presented a
statement to the President which
showed that food prices have risen
Is to $50 per cent since January,
1o41.
Asked if they expected their plan
would be carried into operation, Mr.
Murray replied:
I'VE are fighting for it, of course" "
Mr. Murray said they also had
suggested to the President that
there should be a meeting with
James F. Byrnes, head of the newly
formed Office of War Mobilization,
both to discuss its functions and to
obtain labor representation in the
new setup.
A memorandum the CIO left with
the President declared that enforce
ment of prices is still myth" and
called for subsidies.
This memorandum also urged
President Roosevelt to veto the tax
bill that has just been passed. de-
claring it would place an undue bur-
den on the low income groups.
Asked whether it would not ease
the coal crisis if the President were
to follow labor's recommendation on
food prices, Mr.. Murray said he be-
lieved it would ease the entire sit
uation of all workers and that it is
going to be extremely difficult to
control the situation unless a more
effective control over these factors
is put into effect Immediately.
Mr.. Green said the board also
asked Mr.. Roosevelt to take steps to
get overtime pay for railway en-
ployes, particularly the non-operat-
ing workers, after 40 hours work in
week. They get time and one half
now after 48 hours.

NLdTllcr StOry on rage ALL
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt was repre-
sented by informed quarters to-
day to be prepared to order John
L. Lewis striking coal miners to
60 back to work Monday, with a
program of more drastic action
in reserve If his first demand
goes unheeded.
The back-to-work order may
come late today or tomorrow, re-
liable sources believe
The plan. as these informants
understand it, contemplates full use
of the Commander in Chiefs war;
time power and his authority under
the Selective Service Act, literal
enforcement of all laws governing
aliens, of whom there are thousands
among the mine workers and the
use of troops in force, If finally
necessary.
Might Use Show of Force.
A possibility Of employing former
mine workers now in the armed
services also is under consideration,
competent sources reported.
The Presidents advisers were de-
scribed as confident the strike, now
In its third day, can be ended and
that show OF military might would
be effective II other methods failed,
Statistical data on the draft classi-
flcations and alien status of mem
bers of the United Mine Workers
were said to be on hand at the White
House.
The President was understood to
have fully sustained the War Labor
| Boards position and effectively
blocked any dickering between Mr..
Lewis and other Government ofi-
cials.
Lewis Might Yield.
1t is the boards definite position
that the coal strike must be handled
like all other previous defiance cases.
that is, no negotiations with the
Government and no adjudication Of
the issues while there is an interrup.
tion of production.
Besides the possibility of a presi-
Dental order for the miners to re-
turn and the possible use of Sc
! lective service and alien laws, there
remained always, of course, the
chance that Mr.. Lewis might recede
from his heretofore adamant stand
against the War Labor Board and
that a compromise might be ef-
fected.
Mr.. Roosevelt saw members Of the
AFL-CIO Labor War Board today,
but members said afterward their
meeting had no connection with the
coal dispute

Myron c. Taylor. chairman of the
Executive Committee of the United

dent called in when the United Mine
Workers an dthe steel companies

tive coal mines owned by the steel
companies in 1941. 1t was said, how
