further discussion today.
The issue was laid before the

of talks on the subject were lex
ploratory" with no conclusions
reached, according to J. B. Warmer,

Coal Co., management spokesman.
Thomas j. Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the UNIV, told a news
conference yesterday following the
days session that certain aspects
OF the proposed fund. including
life insurance costs and the tuber-
culosis rate" were discussed.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Warmer
disagreed sharply as to the accuracy
Of assertions contained in the min

idea. Among other things, the
statement declared there was high
accident and occupational disease
rate In the hard coal fields.
Mr.. Warmer asserted that the
miners were emphasizing the bad,
and ignoring the good

Byrnes' Proposal on Reich
AssoiIed by Soviet AGENCY

MOSCOW, May IT R.-The
Soviet news agency Tass said today
that proposal by Secretary OF State
ByrneS for a conference in Novem-
Der to consider German peace terms
would encourage aggressive ele-
ments in Germany" who are waiting
for the Allies to Withdraw their
occupation troops.
1T is not hard to see that the new
American plan cannot fail to lead
to the undermining of the conf
dence of peace-loving peoples toward
that political course now being re-
vealed by some of the great powers, -
the Tass dispatch said.
The Soviet press reaction to the
Byrnes proposal was that it openly
raised the question of the end of
the occupation of Germany at the
earliest possible date, the news
agency said.

Ia have the right to appeal, a pro-
cedure which sometimes takes
weeks. In any case, under present
regulations they may not be called
for service for 81 days from the
time they are classified in la.
Truman Repeats Criticism.
This would push the induction
date for many of these men past the
July l deadline by which Congress
must decide whether the draft will
be continued or allowed to die. If
it dies, they are out automatically.
If it's renewed, it all depends on the
kind of law put on the books.
In his statement yesterday, Mr..
Truman repeated his criticism,
made Tuesday night when he signed
the 45-day draft extension law which
stopped the induction of teen-age
boys, that it was bad legislation"
1T is to be hoped he said, that
before July /, when the present
extension expires, the Congress will
extend selective service for a year in
a form that will meet the Nations
requirements"
To illustrate his assertion that the
extension law was loosely drawn, -
the President said it provided that
men up to IS years, seven months of
age could be drafted, although
seemingly it was the intent OF
Congress to include only those now
under &c." He said there also was
nothing in the law to prevent the
re-induction of men already dis
charged.
The War Department does not
want men over 80 years of age, he
said, and men over that age will,
not be reclassified.
Mr.. Truman said Selective Serv.
ice Director Hershey had reported
that 10000 acceptable 10 and Is
year-old high school students were
"lost to the armed forces" because Of
Congress action. The exemption O,
that age group will cut down the
number of men under rs who car
be indicted each month from IS ,0Ot
to 5000, the President said he hac
been informed.

BY tho Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 17.-While
Henrico County authorities contin.
ued attempts to identify positively
10 of the 81 passengers killed when 9
Viking airliner fell through murky
weather to crash in swampy pine
land here yesterday, a Civil Aero
nautics Administration inspector
said he would ask the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation to inquire into
certain phases Of the crash.
H. G. Myers, the inspector making
the inquiry, said the FBI will be
called in because there are some
things we can't account for"
He said two pistols, part OF
another gun of some sort, two still
lettos, pair of handouts and a
police whistle were discovered in the
twisted wreckage.
Cites Explosions After Crash.
Il want them (the FBD to help
clarity some things in MY own mind
and it may be something they would
be interested in," the CAA inspector
said.
He said repeated explosions heard
by at least one witness following
the crash could have been bullets
going OFF.
Harry M. Kimball, chief of the
Richmond FBI office, said he had
not received any request from the
CAA to enter the investigation, nor
had he been given any indication
that anything other than engine
trouble or bad weather may have
caused the crash.
Would Be Glad to Help.
Since the end of the war the CAA
has been the investigating authority
in civilian plane crashes, although
the FBI is glad to assist should
there be indications its services are
needed, Mr.. Kimball said. He said
he assumed any aid the FBI might
give would be in checking the serials
on the guns in an effort to establish
Identification of additional bodies or
for some special laboratory work.
The identity of nine of the bodies
burned beyond recognition when the
DC-3, on a chartered run from
Newark, N. j., to Atlanta, Ga, was

cards, letters and other articles
found in their clothing.
They were:

District Court declared that he and
Justice James M. Proctor had been
designated committee to work for
new courthouse, told of the diff
flculties encountered and spoke of
the impaired work of the court due
to congested conditions.
Justice Laws slid that under pres
ent conditions, delays are occurring
and that the resultant difficulties,
distractions and inconvenience are
not conducive to the respect due

are more interested in proper hous-

rule on admission to the bar, where
by educational standards for non

asking congressional investigation
into the number of escapes from the
District Training School for the
Feeble Minded at Laurel.

came after District police reported
that a 20-year-old inmate attempted
a criminal assault on a 4-year- old
girl in Washington after escaping
from the institution.
The Representative said he would
ask that steps be taken to protect
residents of the neighborhood from
the more than 600 inmates.
DR.. Lewald said that since the
school was established in 1924, about
$50 inmates have walked out and
never returned. He said there were
no bars or barriers of any kind to
prevent the inmates from leaving
About 10 have left this month, he
added
The superintendent said residents
OF the area had not complained
about the escapes and that the at
tempted assault was the first such
incident attributed to school in
mates.
Not many of these people are
dangerous he claimed. Occasion
