UNIV Plugs Holes
In Wage Maneuver

WASHINGTON, July 22 CUP)-
The United Mine Workers believed
today that they have plugged the
loopholes in their wage case with a
strategic maneuyer which may bring
John L. Lewis before the War
Labor Board for the first time.
Lewis gave the prolonged coal
mine dispute a new twist when he
reached an agreement with Illinois
operators to give his miners an ad-
ditional $275 daily-$l 25 Tor under
ground travel pay and $3.50 for an
extra hour of work at an overtime
rate
The agreement obviously was
drafted to meet objections previous
ly raised by the WLB to UNIV de-
mands. The UNIV policy COM
mittee will meet today TO approve
the agreement.
In addition to WLB approval,
the Operators said a new contract
was contingent on approval of a
coal price adjustment by the Office
of Price administration. The wage
increases would necessitate a price
bcost of about 35 cents ton.

we notified this clearly on sew
eral occasions and recommended
that Rome be spared in the name of
human dignity and christian civil

Despite his appeals, the Pope
said, Rome was raided and "one of
the most noted of the Roman Bas-
ilicas, the San Lorenzo outside the
walls" was almost completely de-
stroyed.
DEEM 1T DUTY
Therefore" he said. I'VE deem
it our duty once more to raise our
voice in defense of the priceless
treasures that constitute the orna-
ment of human and christian
grandeur"
Official British sources made no
immediate comment on the Pope's
letter. 1t is possible that Prime
Minister Churchill or Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden will make the
governments answer in Commons
Official United States sources
also remained silent.)
However, both Churchill and
Eden in the past have asserted that
no intervention from any source
will stop the Allies from bombing
Rome as frequently as they deem
necessary in pursuit of the war.
London morning newspapers gen.
orally printed the test of the
Pope's letter on the front or back
pages, but only the Daily Mirror
commented editorially.

LondonerS also recalled that st.

English churches damaged during
German raids ON Britain, in which
Italian filters, according to Mus
solini, were given the privilege" of
participating Lambeth Palace, the
residence of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, also was damaged.
The Swiss newspaper Basler
Nachrichten editorially commented
that even the layman is aware
that Rome is an important military
center"
1T certainly ia aegrettable that
San Lorenzo Cathedral was de-
stroyed," the newspaper said. This,
however, is no miracle, but the fact
that only one of Rome's 400
churches was hit certainly is"
Radio Algiers said that recon-
naissance photographs of Rome
yesterday showed that 10 fires still
were burning in the Littorio Mar

ing in the San Leandro railway
yard, more than 48 hours after the
raid
A German broadcast said that 100

still buried beneath the debris.
Nearly 1000 persons were injured
and 10000 rendered homeless, the

Fire or Spain, two of the neutral

Rome an open city, a Madrid dis

The Vatican and many other
