In the port of New York, worlds
busiest, where the longshoremen's
strike crippled shipping for 10 days
insurgent who had urged dockhands
to stay out announced they were
advising the men to 60 back to
their jobs.
The announcement was made as
the longshoremen's president met
with the New York Shipping Asso-
citation to resume contract negotia-
tons. The strike began Oct. l after
collapse of negotiations and at its
height some 400 ships were tied
up, unable to have theier cargoes
loaded or unloaded. Troop redeploy-
ment also was delayed.
Earlier yesterday police and
union officials said about half of
the $4,000 had returned to work.
The War Shipping Administration
said 107, or about 80 per cent, of
American-flag vessels were being
serviced and q were strikebound.
Contract negotiations had been
held in allegiance while the dock
hands were out. At issue in the
strike was the demand of the union
for a provision covering the size
of cargo net loads.
AS some soft coal miners began
returning to the pits four days
ahead of the date set by John L.
Lewis, one group in Pennsylvania
proposed shortening of the work

The action was taken by United
Mine Workers Local 2l25 of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company's Lind
ley mine in Washington county,
Pa. The mine employs 800 men.
Their resolution asked that week

as at present, with no increase in
the price of coal.
Operators estimated miners
weekly earnings averaged $65.
United States Steel Corporation,
one of the biggest manufa cturers
indirectly affected by the strike
which cut off half of the natioin's

mated it would be ten days or two
weeks before it could resume nor
NAL production and reemploy the

a new principle in future code OF
conduct for mankind-that constr
i to wage war is crime against

In addition to the general staff
and the high command the other
organizations named included the
Gestapo, the SIS elite GuarO
troops of the Nazi party, the Storm
Troopers the SD or Secret Service
Sicherheitsdients, the German cabi-
net, and the Leadership Corps or the
Nazi party.
A spokesman for the American
prosecutor, Justice Robert H.
Jackson, said that the general staff
and high command would be con-
sidered "as one entity, with
choice representative segment spe-
officially indicted.
Those already named in the in
dictment are Alfred Jodl, Colonel
General and chief Of the Army
staff; Wilhelm Keitel, Field Mar
shall and chief of the high COM
mand; Karl Doenitz, Grand Admit
raj and commander-in-chief of
the Germany Navy; Erich Raeder,
Grand Admiral and former COM
mander Of the Navy.
Indictment of the individual
German general staff officers as
war criminals resulted from Ann
erican demands. Russia, Great
Britain and France opposed the
action on the grounds soldiers are
responsible for carrying out or
ders.
Justice Jackson insisted that ag-
gressive warfare constituted an
International crime, and finally won
over two of the nations. One pow
e., whose identity is secret, refus-
ed to agree. The 81 decision
however, was sufficient to carry
Jackson's point.

the indictment was presented to
the court was simple but impress

and took place in the ornate cham

Court, now the Allied Control

into the four languages.
The doors opened, with Maj.
Gen. I. T. Nikitchenko, of the So
Wet Union, and his alternate, T. A.

judges.
They were followed by the

Americans and on the left by the
French and British.
Facing them were the prosecu-
tors. The British wore formal court
attire of striped trousers, black
coats, batwing collars. The others
wore dark street suits.

followed by two old and very fami.

tiers who danced to the familiar
strains of Country Gardens, and
the ever-popular American square
dance.
The most typical and authentic
of folk dances were presented in
Part Three of the program. The
first dance, the Hungarian Csar-
das, is probably as well known in
Hungary as many square dances
are known here in the United
States. 1t is danced by young and
old at public gatherings and par
ties of all kinds. The second dance,
in this group, was French dance
which originated in the province of
Alsace-Lorraine. 1t too is a typical
folk dance, still familiar to the ma
tives of that part of France and
was danced to the music of an old
French air called 1.-The Chimes Of
Dunkirk'. The Norwegian dance
was the last one in this group. 1t
opened with large group of chill.
