Very Serious Fuel Problem Worries IcESes
 Widespread Soft
 Coal WuIkouts
 Idle 2O8 900
(By United Press)

Production of reconversion-v vital steel Jagged alarmingly today as a result of a widespread soft coal strike which Secretary of the In- terior Harold L. Ickes said would create a "very serious" fuel problem if allowed to continue.
 More than 10000 workers were laid oif in the Pittsburgh smelting area alone, and other steel mills, unable to operate without coal, be- gan shutting down..
 Ickes said the walkout Of 20s,000 miners-accounting for most of the nations 464,000 idle workers--had cut soft coal production in half and was beginning to hurst"
 Meanwhile, limited operations were resumed along the New York waterfront, and police were alerted to break up any picket lines that might be formed around Hollywood motion picture studios.
 More than 400 AFL milk truck drivers called of 6 short-lived strike in four midwestern cities, but a milk strike still threatened New York.
 Discussions Collapse
 Some hope for settlement of the soft coal dispute. costing an esti- mated l,15l 900 tons daily, was seen in a series of separate meetings held by operators and miners since collapse of their joint discussions with Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach.

Atomic ueI Othnun:s Fond Hope

 Coal NKnIkcuts
By FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN

ny ENEWENAGEA Os lO1uNAAN Limited Press Saff Correspondent)
 Washington, Oct. IT, (UP) When I get my atomic furnace, that doesn't have to be stoked for IS years, I shall let John L. Lewis and his coal mine, pals have their fun in private.
 John L. can call all the strikes he wants. Ezra Van Horn can smash chairs. I won't be there.
 As far back as can remember, I've been hot-footing it to the Shoreham hotel regularly while the coal men argued.
 They're at 1t again, Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach is praying for cold weather, and I'm getting weary of those seats in the lobby. Schwellenbach's hope is that a few icy mornings will mike the nations householders howl loud enough to reach the ears of the 308- pound Van Horn. the mine owners negotiator, and Lewis, who weighs almost as much, and who bosses the gents. with the shovels.
 Me, I'm hoping for atomic fuel. Coal is black stuff, anyhow, and makes ashes that have got to be hauled out. But until the uranium furnace comes I suppose we'll have coal strikes.
 Underpaid?
 Mostly they have had to do with wages. As rule John L.. doesn't think his boys get paid enough. This one is different. Lewis wants the mine foremen as members of his United Mine Workers union.
 The mine proprietors claim their foremen are executives, not labor CTS. They say that if Lewis gets them in his union, he'll go after the vice. presidents next. Lewis says the mines have nearly 5000 foremen and they work hard enough to be union men.
 That, fellow operators of furnaces is the sole argument involved in the strike which has taken 2O8.000 miners from their jobs, shut down many a steel mill, and threatened the rest of US with cold winter. I wouldn't attempt to say which side is right: neither, apparently, would Schwellenbach. Having spent 10 days arguing with the boys until his necktie got more askew than usual, he called an intermission.
 At this writing Lewis & Co.,, aren't speaking to Van Horn & Co.,, except in shouts. This is what has come to be known as the impasse stage of the Shoreham performance. Lewis is yelling, lockout" Van Horn is re- torting, absurd. ~
 Next act, if I can depend on precedent, will find the antagonists slapping each other on the back, signing the documents, and drinking each others health in Manhattan cocktails. Manhattans seem to be the coal experts favorite refresh- Inent.
 Only news so far from the confer ence concerns the chair wrecked by Van Horn when he leaned back in it. It was a Labor Department chair and presume he will pay for 1t. When I last saw him, he and the other mine owners were in suite 422-D at the hotel figuring out what to do, next.
 Brighter Globes Asked
 I went down and waited for 'em in the lobby, carefully choosing the chair that has accustomed itself to my contours over the years. It is a good chair and l have been com- fortable in 1t, but the spring now seems to be sagging. While the man. agement is looking into that I'd also appreciate brighter globes in the

Irmo Admits Using Whip On Prisoners

Lueneburg, Oct. IT, CUP) Blonde Irma Grese, her arrogant defiance turning to rage under a searching cross-examination, admitted today that she beat prisoners while she was an SS guard at Nazi concentra- tion camps.
 T have beaten prisoners, but I never mistreated them" 1rma n. nally shouted as Prosecutor Col. T.. M. Rackhouse crowded her with questions at the trial of 45 Naz guards and commandants of the Belsen and Oswiecim camps.
 Several times Backhollse hatly acc cused her of lying. Sometimes she evaded his questions ar snapped You can thing what you like" She laughed derisively when Backhouse asked her about using whip on the prisoners.
 Irlna admitted that she went from OsWiecim to Belsen because of 8 love affair with an SS warrant officer who was transferred between the two camps.
 When Backhouse first asked her about the beating of prisoners, she complained, T wish you would stop saying it was done regularly"
 T suggest that you gloried in your jackboot and pistol and whip" Backhouse said.
 T shouldn't say gloried," she re- tored. E 1@
 Then she finally blurted out her admission, waving her hands and stalnmering over her words in an enraged babble.

Industry  In Tux Bill
 Measure Called
 ''Too Little
 And Too L0te"
RY JOHN D. CUTTER

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 Washington, oct. IT, (UP) The National Association of Manufactur- CTS denounced the pending $5,350.- OOO,0O0 tax reduction bill today as too little and too late" and urged tax cuts of approximately $S,OO0,- 100000.
 H. E. Humphreys, chairman of the NAM tax committee, told the Sem ate finance committee that maxi mum tax relief now Twill do more to speed reconversion, stimulate in- vestment into new business and in- crease production than will any manner of spending the government might undertake"
 ''Only the defeatist can fail to see that such tax reductions will increase the total tax take over the long haul--next year and the years to come," Humphreys said. "Tax encouragement should be made where it counts-in the family pocketbook, and in wages and divi- derlds that keep it supplied"
 His proposals included outright repeal of the corporate excess profits tax at the end of the year and a flat 20 per cent reduction in indi- vidual income taxes.
 The House bill cuts the excess profits tax from 95 to 60 per cent in 1946 and would delay repeal until 1947. On individual taxes, the House measure would remove some 12,000,0 ,00O persons from the federal tax rolls with reductions ranging upward from 10 per cent. Repeal Favored Another industry representative Chairman Ellsworth 0. Alvord of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Tax Committee, also urged repeal of the excess profits tax by the end of the year.
 Describing the levy as "discrimin- atory, arbitrary, monopolistic and unfair" Alvord said it's repeal should not be measured in terms of revenue lost for any stated year since it would promote long-run tax returns by stimulating business. Alvord also favored a flat per- centage reduction of individual taxes with decreases to be as great as revenue requirements permit" " He proposed no specific figure but thought the cut should be some where between 20 and 25 per cent to bring relief from present oner- ous rates"
 The Chamber of Commerce tax program also called for "as much reduction in the corporate normal and surtax rates as revenue require ments will permit" Again Alvord mentioned no specific reduction, nor did he estimate the total tax reduction involved in his program. The Senate finance committee planned to wind up public hearings on the bill today and begin the job of rewriting it in executive session tomorrow.
 Despite the calls for more tax relief than the $5,350 100000 out lined in the House bill, some mem- bers of the committee were op- posed to cuts of more than $5,oO0,- OOO. 900 in 1946.
