Markham Moves 10 Seize
Axis Nationals Property
Ry the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
Alien Property Custodian James
e. Markham today moved to seize
all property in the United States or
the territories owned by japanese or
German nationals.
He issued an order requiring re-
ports on such property and said 1t
would be confiscated as soon as the
reports-due February 2s-are re-
ceived.
Mr.. Markham described the ac-
ton as part of the Governments
program to wipe out japanese and
German economic power in this
country. He recalled that President
Truman last summer authorized him
to take over Japanese and German
cash and securities.
Under the order, national OF
Germany or Japan is defined as any
person who on or since June IA, 1941,
has been resident or subject OF
either country. The order, Mr..
Markham said. also applies to any
person who has custody, control or
possession of enemy owned property
or has reason to believe that prop
erty or interest in property may be
owned by an enemy national.
Reports on property in this coun-
try are to be filed at the custodians
office. Reports on property in
Hawaii and the Philippines will be
made to branch Offices in those
areas.

Council by the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly, which will hold its
first session in London January 10.
Gen. Eisenhower, American Army
chief of staff, may fly to London for
the meeting, 1t was reported This
would be the first meeting Of mill
tary chiefs of all the five powers,
since no such wartime meetings
were held.
However, dispatches from Frank
furt and Washington today an
nounced the appointment of 1t.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, deputy
supreme Allied commander in the
theater, ,sas Gen. Els
enhower's representative on the
military staff committee of the
United Nations.
1t was possible that this meant
that Gen. Ridgway would attend In
the place Of Gen. Eisenhower.
One authoritative report said 1t
was not expected that the chiefs of
staff or their deputies would hold
any preliminary discussions before
the Security Councils military staff
is established, but it seemed certain
every effort would be made to get
the military organization into oper-
alton as soonas possible because of
the Importance of its duties.
May Request Estimate.
It would be logical, said this re-
port, for the British government, as
host to the United Nations General
Assembly in January. to take the
first step in seeing that the commit
tee is constituted.
1t was believed here that the
Security Council would ask the
Military Committee Immediately
what should be the strength of the
United Nations peace preservation
force.
Once the Security Council has this
information steps then could be
taken to inform each member of the
United Nations of the size of the
force it would be asked to contribute
to the international body.
Some quarters have suggested that
a special atom bomb air force be
placed at the disposal of the Secur-
ity Council, and this question may
be brought up during the first ses-
sion OF the General Assembly.

Families Will Receive
No Compensation Money
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
United Mine Workers headquar-
ters said here yesterday that the
company for which the trapped
miners worked at Pineville, KY, was
not under the coverage of the Ken
lucky Compensation Law and con-
sequently widows and children will
receive no compensation payments.
Thirty of the 81 men trapped, the
union said, were union members and
% of them were married with a
total of $50 children, ranging from
2 to II in the family.
A finding of hazardous working
conditions at the Pineville mine was
contained in a recent Bureau OF
Mines report concerning it.
After an inspection last August
Federal Inspector Wilbur Stiles re-
ported a sharp rise during the first
half of 1945 in accident frequency
rates at the mine. The rate of dis
abling accidents, he said. was about
five times greater per ton of coal
mined than the rate for the Ma
tion's bituminous mines as whole
Mr.. Stiles said the mine should be
rated and operated as gassy mine
that underground ventilation was in
adequate with insufficient amounts
of air reaching the working Sec
tions, that none of the escapeways
were in traversable condition. and
that no fire-fighting equipment was
available.
He also reported that underground
electrical equipment was nonper-
missible, that underground tele-
phones were not provided, that no
first-aid or mine rescue training
was given employees, and that the
officials did not examine the mine
for gas at any time.
"The mine is rated nongassy by
the Kentucky Department of Mines
and Minerals" he said, but sufi-
cient gas was detected during each
of the Federal inspections to war
rant rating this mine as gassy."
Under the Federal Coal Mine
Inspection Act of 1941 the Bureau
of Mines is given authority to make
but not to enforce safety recon-
mendations. Enforcement powers
lie with the State.

President Truman was re-
ported today to be backing an
even more cautious step by step
disclosure of atomic energy Sc
crets than first impressions OF
the Moscow Big Three COM
munique had indicated.
This Interpretation of plans to
form an international atomic con-
troll commission came from persons
who talked with Mr.. Truman after
his return from Christmas holiday
in Missouri.
They declared 1t is Mr.. Truman's
view that the United States should
always be sure there will be no mis-
use of small secret before divulging
a more important one.
They said conversations both at
the White House and the State De-
partment indicated it will be Amer
lean policy to test proposed inspec-
ton methods before telling any ma
ton except Britain and Canada all
of the know-how Of the atomic
bomb.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
chairman of the Republican Sem
atorial Conference, gave some in
dication how the wind Is blowing
after a conference with Mr. Truman
at the White House yesterday:
Senator Vandenberg said in a
statement he was advised by the
State Department that full security
requirements" will be met in the
proposed international commissions
dealings with atomic energy.
The Michigan Senator, a member
of the special Senate Committee on
Atomic Development, is known tc
favor retention of the secret until
it has been demonstrated that inter-
national controls to prevent It's
/. future military use are workable.
Four-Point Proposal.
The Moscow Big Three com.
munique laid down a four-point
agenda for the proposed commits
sion, which would be set up by the
United Nations Organization anc
would be accountable to the Worlc
Security Council.
In order, the proposals called for
/ ta Exchange of basic scientific
information between nations.

tives should be taken in order in.

any names of the rescued men were
