SoftCooI Issue Still MuddIed
 Lewis Prepores
 For Beginning
 Of Negotiations
(By United Press)

The West Coast shipping strike dragged on today while at Wash ington there was confusion over whether the Government had agreed to the demands of John L. Lewis in the threatened walkout of soft coal miners.
 In 8 third major labor dispute, extra sheriff's deputies were as- signed to prevent recurrence of violence at the huge farm equip ment plant of Allis- Chalmers Mfg. Go. in Milwaukee.
 The status of the soft coal crisis remained outwardly confused. Presi- dent Truman said at his news con- ference yesterday that there would be noe coal strike. But he did not say whether the Government had decided to reopen its contract with the United Mine Workers, (AFL0, as demanded by Lewis.
 Lewis prepared for negotiations with the Government on the as- sumption that the Government had decided to reopen the contract, and he gave assurances that there would be no. strike while negotiations were in progress. Previously, he had threatened strike next Friday if the Government failed to reopen the contract for wage discussions.
 At Minden, New, however, Secre- tary of Interior J. A. Krug denied that a scheduled meeting between Lewis and Government representa- tives meant that the contract would be reopened.
 Despite settlement of the shipping tie-up on the Gulf and East coasts, three unions-the C.I.O. Longshire- men, the CI.O. Marine Engineers and the A.F.L. Masters, Mates and Pilots-remained on strike on the West Coast.

International Leoders'Study StoIin Replies
 Mony Agree He
 Opened Further
 Soviet Curtoin
By United Press

World leaders studied clOSeIy ". day Premier Stalin's replies to 3l questions put to him by Hugh Ball. lie. president of the United Press, on Russia's relations with other world powers.
 First reaction was that stain had further opened the curtain on Soviet international relations. Many leaders asked for more time to study his replies.
 Alexandre Parodi, French dele gate to the United Nations, said, "tais looks like another of several signs of a more conciliatory reia- tionship among the big powers"
 Received With Interest
 Comics of the interview were re- ceiyed with interest at the White House. the State Department, and the British Foreign Office in Lon don.
 U. s. State Department officials, privately encouraged by StalmS assertion that he did not feel there was growing tension between the U.SS.R. and the United States, Salo it would be up to President Truman or Secretary of State James F. Byrnes to make the official U. 5. comment.
 Five out of eight London morn ing papers hammered the interview.
 Rep. Clarence Brown, (R.-Ohlo), congressional campaign adviser to COP Committee Chairman Carroll Reece, said the long distance inter view showed great enterprise on the part of MT. Baillie." Brown found Stalin's replies "very inter esting"
 Objects To Charge
 Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper, (R.- Iowa), took exception to Stalin,s remark that Winston Churchill and those who think like him ln Great Britain and the United States are the chief obstacle to peace"
 Tt would seem to me-" Hicken- looper observed, that failure of any country or any group of countries to discuss their relations in the spirit of goodwill probably of1ers the greatest threat to peace.
 q certainly hope that Russia will see the errors of it's way and aban- don its policy of habitual suspicion in favor of full and open discus sion."
 Hickenlooper also disagreed with Stalin on Russia's use of the veto in the United Nations. Certain ly," he said, "the veto has been used to prevent satisfactory ap- proach to world problems"
 Disagrees, Too
 Rep. Percy Priest, D.-Tenno, |, also disagreed with Stalin's critt- cism of Churchill Churchill is plain spoken" Priest said, but don't think he wants war any more than I do."
 Sir Hartley Shawcross, British delegate to the LIN, said: "Stalin's references to Germany are exceed ingly interesting and will require careful consideration by the foreign ministers conference. I am sure the interview is quite wrong to re- fer to anyone in my country as de- string or even contemplating 8 war"
 Andrei A. Gromyko of Russia said when handed copy of the inter view that he already knew Stalin's answers.

 The order is scheduled for about Nov 1, although an OPA official said it might be delayed slightly.
 The list will decontro1 hundreds of items not important in the cost of living It is expected to include items still in short supply which are bought in volume by low-income families. An OPA informant said controls probably will remain on such commodities with a retail sales value of $1O0, 100000 year.
 Ceilings on Ice Removed
 Ceilings were removed today from natural and manufactured ice.
 OPA reported that 1t had now de- controlled more than $500 items and services up to Oct. 15. This does not include bread, flour, whis- key and the many other foods and beverages decontrolled last week.
 As a result, controls remain on only A percent of the items mak- ing up the average family's cost of living.
 The Civilian Production AdminiS- tration meanwhile removed She last remaining style restrictions on wo- mems and thildren's clothing. These were limitations on the design, measurements and sweep of night gowns, slips, petticoats, sleeping pa jamas, robes, bathrobes, housecoats, negigees and lounging pajamas.
 Yarn Price Up
 OPA increased the price of mixed cotton and mohair yarn by 10:5a cents a pound because of the higher prices for raw cotton.
 OPA, however, announced that it is curtailing it's order requiring mills to produce as much cotton broad woven fabric as they did dur ing the war.

tional on two previous occasions, Hadden said that flor period of more than 25 years legislative and undoubtedly public thinking has approved the principle that special legislation granting benefits in rec ognition of military service was a proper exercise of legislative power. Numerous other states during the same period have followed the same course of legislative conduct"
 He believed, therefore. he said, that an opinion of the late Attor- ney General Frank E. Healy in 1923 that a veterans bonus was uncon- stitutional would not be upheld In our courts today"
 The circumstances in an original case involving the issue back in 1912, the attorney general said were different from those of the present day. At that time the constitution ality of the bonus in Connecticut was not upheld because, he said, benefits would have gone to veter- ans and aliens outside of the State of Connecticut and that the State could not impose tax for such benefits. Not only would aid have been given to Civil War veterans he said, but the benefits would have extended some 20 years afterwards.

Scandinavia, l wired Stain 31 QueS- tions on Oct. q. Last night he an- sWered all 31 questions.
 Stalin's reply regarding the pres ence of 60 divisions in the West follows by 8 few days Winston Churchills inquiry in the House of Commons as to whether the US. SIR. had not POO divisions on a war footing in the occupied terri tories from the Baltic to Vienna and from Vienna to the Black Sea.
 Wants More Successes
 Regarding the occupation of Japan, Stalin said, there are suc- cesses, but it would be possible to attain better successes"
 Regarding the Russian govern ment's attitude toward the pres ence of American warships in the Mediterranean, Stalin said, "indif- ferent."
 Regarding the Soviet divisions in the West, Stalin said they would be reduced from 60 to 40 divisions when the decree of the Presidilm of the Supreme Soviet dated Oct. g had been implemented.
 My first question to Stalin was, 'do you agree with Secretary of State Byrnes' feeling, as expressed in his radio address, that there is growing tension between the U.S.S.R. and the United States. |" Whereto he replied, "No."
 Believes Churchill Incendiary
 In response to another question, what in your opinion is the most serious threat to peace?" Stalin said. "tthe incendiaries of 8 new war, foremost Churchill and those who think like him in Great Brit ain and the United States"
 Concerning Yugoslavia's decision not to Sign the Italian peace treaty, Stalin said, "Yugoslavia has grounds to be dissatisfied"
 Stalin said, T hope so," in re- sponse to question as to whether present negotiations would lead to conclusion of peace treaties estab- fishing amicable relations among the countries who were allies in the Second World War. He said he thought it was feasible to establish general administration in the hands of the Germans themselves, but under Allied control, making it possible for the Council of Foreign Ministers to draft a German peace treaty.
 Stalin said he felt the level per- mitted industry in Germany should be raised above the agreed level to permit Germany to pay her own way more fully.
 In order to prevent Germany from again becoming military menace, he felt it necessary to lex tirpate in practice the remnants of Fascism in Germany and democra- tize her most thoroughly"
 My questions to Stalin were based on observations and conversations with diplomats, generals, publishers and influential persons in Germany, France, England, Sweden, Denmark and Finland during the last two months, when I talked to those working at the Paris Peace Confer ence about separations, Germany, the Military Government, etc. The questions were dispatched to Mos COW last Monday and were answered in Russian to the London office of the United Press Oct 28, where they were translated oy the United Press.
 Wherever travelled I found Rus sia regarded as an enigma holding the key to future world tranquility.

After EorIy Stond
By the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21.-There
was an upset in the making at Pitt
Stadium today, until gears of the
University of Illinois football power
plant meshed in an awesome burst
of power which crumpled a gallant,
inexperienced lot of Pitt Panthers
into crushing 1877 defeat.
1t was the season opener for both
teams and Pitts first start under
it's new coach, Wesley Fesler.
About $4,000 fans roared in de-
lighted disbelief as the young PAN
theirs clawed their way to TT first
half deadlock after Claude Buddy
Young, the Illini ebony express, spun
off a 46-yard touchdown run before
the echoes of the starting gun died
Pitt matched that touchdown be-
fore the period ended as Louis Gee
con, a freshman from Donora, Pa.
piled through center from the l.
yard lire after an interception by
Pitt and a completed Panther for
ward pass set up the score.
The Panthers actually outplayed
the bigger, faster, wiser Illir1i fol-
the remainder of the first half but
that effort spent them and fired the
Illini to a pace worthy of their high
ranking on the Nations list of top
flight team.

With only seven games to play
