Hopes Held High
 Settlement of Coal Strike DrauUs Near

to work until settlements had been reached at all seven Strtke-bouno plants.
 2. Federal conciliators sought to break dispute which has tied up the Portland, Ore- waterfront for a week.
 3. Hope for settlement of Q pu- lie transportation strike at Atlanta, Ga, was raised with announcement of an agreement to be voted on by union members.
 Negotiations were renewed in the Los Angeles transit strike.
 Forced Demands
 In the coal walkout, both sides were being subjected to the heavi- est pressure to settle the walkout, which has cut steel production and railroad service, and has forced dimouts in Chicago, Washington, and Philadelphia. President Tru- man had termed the strike ma tional disaster"
 However President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, (AFI), meets with his 200-man policy committee tomorrow, and 1t appeared unlikely that any break in the stalemate would come be- fore the meeting.
 Some mine operators believed that the gravity of the industrial crisis caused by the coal shortage would force the Government to in- tervene directly in the strike. Thus far the Labor Department has con- fiAed itself to getting the dis putants to negotiate. It was be- neved by some that the Govern ment soon might offer compro- mise proposal.
 Negotiations at Impasse
 At Portland, Ore, Federal Con- ciliator Oliver Goodwin announced that negotiations in a waterfront hiring dispute had reached an im- passe. He said no plans had been made to resume negotiations be- tween operators and the C.I.O. Cargo Checkers Union. The dis pute began last Monday when operators cancelled union contracts on charges that the union had acted in bad faith' by refusing to accept an arbitration decision on the number of checkers to be hired.
 At Atlanta, an agreement to end 8 six-day public transit strike was reached between the Georgia Power Company and the A.F.L. Streetcar and Busmen's Union. The agree ment was subject to the approval of union members, who were sched- uled to vote on it today. The strike has left 500,O0O persons without public transportation.
 Negotiations were resumed in the Los Angeles transit strik eas the result of efforts by Mayor Fletcher Bowron, who brought together of- flcials of the transit lines and rep- resentativeS of the A. F. L. Trans portation Union The strike began Friday when 4,0O0 workers walked out to enforce demands for higher wages. An estimated 100000 riders were left to hitch hike or walk.

last well into the night. The dds- putants had been asked by U. s. Conciliator Walter A. Maggiolo, who is presiding at the negotiations, to be ready for lengthy session to- day.
 As the strike moved into it's 14th week, it was plain that company and union negotiators had found the long-sought basis on which final settlement might be reached. Three previous series of meetings ar- ranged by Commissioner Maggiolo had ended in deadlock.
 Proposals Unann0unced
 New proposals made by the com- pany are said to have been met by union nOunter-o There was no indication as to the form that the proposals and counter proposals have taken.
 The conferees were in session at The Elton until 2 o'clock last night. Their first Sunday meeting since the strike began February. 4 was ended when Commissioner Maggiolo had to leave for New York on business.
 Clark s. Judd, chairman of the company's board of directors, and J. Harold Madden, director of in- dustrial and public relations, have been quoted as saying that nearly week will be needed to get the plants ready for resumption of pro- duction. It will be recalled, how ever, that following settlement of the Scovill and Chase strikes, only few days were needed to ready the plants. This has led to some forecasts that A.B.C. may return to production next week. MankOwslEi in Chicago
 The Union committee at today's ] barley was headed by John J. Dris- coll, State C.I.O. secretary. John J. Mankowski, member of the unions international executive board, was in Chicago for meeting of that body.
 Company spokesmen were MT. Madden, Harry Gardiner, company attorney; William M. Clark, assist ant industrial relations director; Hugh McConahey personnel man. ager; and Theodore Wolfe, assistant personnel manager. Still available should they be needed were MT. Judd and Arthur H. Quigley, com pany president. MT. Judd and MT. Quigley attended the opening ses- sion of the latest settlement meet ings Friday.
 The newest parleys were begun Friday after Commissioner Maggiolo had talked separately with leaders of both sides. Strict secrecy on developments during the meetings has been maintained
 Brass price increases reaching an average total of 2.8 cents a pound have been authorized by the OPA since the strike began. A Is per cents pound boost was authorized to meet operating losses, and an additional 1.3 cents increase became effective May 1 to meet wage in- creases granted or pending in the industry. .

Army Monpower On Pacific Isles At Critical Ebb

Manila, May 6-(UP) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that in every area he had visited so far on his Pacific tour, Army commanders reported critical manpower shortage.
 We have had few months to train men to replace those more ex- perienced," he said at a press con- ference. Its an uphill climb. from here on out.
 '"The job must be done. We need replacements. If Congress doesn't give them to me, I won't know what to do.".
 Eisenhower said the, 7th Air Force had only 404 memo technicians or specialists tearing for millions of dollars worth of war materials. Such care, he said, is a most vital job during the crucial months of demobilization.

Loan, Draft 
 Senote Must Act
 Before DeodIine

Washington, May 6-(UP)-Thl fate of two of the nations major postwar commitments = economic and military-hung in the balance in Congress today.
 At stake. were:
 1. The proposed @, ,750. 900 900 British loan. The Administration says it's necessary to help an iTn- poverished Ally back to postwar economic stability. The senate will vote tomorrow on a petition to limit debate on it.
 2. Continuance of the draft law. Military leaders contend this is necessary if the United States is to maintain sufficient strength to occupy enemy coun- tries and command respect in world affairs.
 Both issues centered in the Sem ate and Administration leaders were crowding for a decision on each by the end of this week.
 If they are disposed of, Adminis- tration leaders plan to follow through almost immediately with another potent challenge-whethel the OPA shall be continued for an- other year without restrictions on it's price control program.
 The draft extension presented the most pressing issue. The present draft law expires May IS. The House last month approved nine- month extension but reduced its effectiveness by imposing a Ave- month draft holiday, exemptine teen-agers and requiring demobih- zation of all draftees who have 1S months service.
 War Department sources claim that if the House bill goes through the Army will be from. 130,0O0 R 100000 men short of requirements on July 1. The estimated require ment on that date is 1850. 900 men

 Anthony R. Martino, legislative chairman of the Council of Oom- munity Clubs, said that plans are being made to urge 1000 members to attend the hearing on the local bills. Buses and private cars will be ar- ranged. All clubs of the Council have been asked to prepare at 2A-hour nofice to leave for Hartford and the hearing.
 Neither bills have been prepared by the drafting committee of the Legislative Council at the Capitol, the only action not % included. This was done because of Che strong opposition and controversy centeFing on the bill
 Opposition may be encountered, i'm regards to the bill creating a State Aviation Commission. Some Senate Democrats are said to favor . een- tral state aviation authority in the person of single commissioner, i'm stead of the proposed five-man con1- mission appointed by the Governor.
 Hearings on the wage increase bill for state employes might be prolonged by the many active lobbyists who are protesting that the proposed boosts are not suffi- cient. One spokesman pointed out that the additional $lSO . year for those earning mere than $1,900 amounts tO only seven cents am hour, which he maintained didn't compare favorably with the cus- toneFy 1S 1-2 cents jump in in- dgWtry."

Jail Mutiny Under Probe

san FTanclScO, May 6-(UP)-A sullen, tense peace reigned today over Alcatraz Federal prison where three convicts in solitary confine- ment awaited possible murder in dictments for their part in a bloody week end mutiny which cost five lives.
 Warden James A. Johnston said investigation thus far had disclosed six ringleaders in the three-day riot. Three of them were dead and the otehrs were in solitary confine- ment. He said they waged their bitter fight with only a rifle, a .45 caliber Colt automatic pistol, a knife and a few gas grenades. They had 50 rounds of ammunition for the rifle and 21 for the pistol.
 At the same time, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents moved cau- tiously through the twisted steel, overturned futures and bullet-scar- red concrete walls of the prison in search of evidence which the U. S.. government plans to lay before the grand jury.
 The final death toll when the battle ended Saturday showed three convicts and two guards dead. Fourteen guards were wounded, two critically. They were in the U. s. Marine Hospital here.
 The three survivors named by Johnston as actively participating in the riot were Sam Shockley, 36, Oklahoma bank robber and kidnap- per; Myron Edgar Thompson, 29, kidnaper and slayer from Amarillo, Tex; and Clarence Carnes 19, Oklahoma kidnaper and murderer.
 Johnston said the three felons killed in the mutiny were Bernard Paul Coy, 46, Louisville, Ky, bank robber; Joseph Paul Cretzer, 35, Los Angeles, Gal, killer; and Marvin Franklin Hubbard, S6, Tennessee, kidnaper.

New Patent Offices
Called Inconyenienf

Patent Office divisions which were
removed from Richmond, Va, to
Temporary Building No. at
Gravelly Point '.just now are get
ting settled down to work In their
new quarters, according to Leslie
Frazer. first assistant patent COM
missioner.
Mr.. Frazer. whose Office is In the
Gravelly Point structure, said it is
too early to predict what improve
ment there will be In the work Of
the office now that the distance
separating its two parts has been
reduced so materially. Thirty-six OF
the 65 examining divisions are at
the Grayelly Point building across
the Alexandria highway from the
National Airport. The rest Of the
office is in the Commerce Depart
ment Building in Washington.
The backlog of patent applica-
tions, as of November Is, amounted
to 123,590, Mr.. Frazer said. The
weekly report of that same date
gave the number of new applica-
tions received as 2,137, and the num-
Der of actions patents issued,
denied, etc.--as 3,011.
While the new quarters in the
Gravelly Point structure are much
more convenient for all concerned
than the quarters in Richmond,
they still are exceedingly incon-
venient," Mr.. Frazer said.
Attorneys and others who. have
business with the Patent Office are
continuing to urge the consolida-
tion of the office In the space in
the north end OF the Commercial
Building.
