LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. lO
 quick agreement on a United = icns arms limitation plan ap- rCd de near today as the United States and Russia were reported to have agreed substantially on all points on the controversial inspec- tion and control question.
 This information came from au- thoritative sources as an 8-nation drafting committee worked behind closed doors in an effort to work out a resolution acceptable to both Russia and the United States.
 An informant said the drafting group had hurdled the last major obstacle when Russia agreed to drop her insistence that the re- sponsibility for controls and inspec- tion be ves.ed in two commissions one to watch over atomic weap- OTIS and the other to deal witn other weapons.
 TLe delegates were said to have agreed to drop the reference to the .wo commissions and provide slmply fer an international system el control. This would meet Unit cd States demands that the de- ja.ls cf the inspection and control m8chiaeiy sigu.d b. worked out later
 an drafting committee is ex- pleted 10 submit it's report to a Donation sl b-ccmmi.tee tomorrow for approya. by the larger group. Il will then go to the General As sembly's Political Committee and finally to the Assembly itself for final action.
 As the drafting committee went into session the control and in- spcction machinery had constituted the only major point of disagre' ment.

NO STATEHOOD FOR OFF SHORE AREAS
 DECLARES BUTLER

WASHINGTON, Dec 10. Sen. Butler, (R-Neb), who may head the Senate committee which will have jurisdiction over insular possessions, predicted today that Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other off-shore areas 'wil. never get statehood"
 q will never vote for statehood for any offshore area, at least not until the people of this country have heen thorougly educated to the responsibilities that would in- volve," he told a reporter I am expressing the opinion of every other member of Congress I ever have talked to on the subject"
 Last week a Puerto Rican dele gation, attending the Republican National committee meeting in Washington, called on the Senator.
 They had heard that may be chairman of the Public Land com mittee," he explained, "so sthey came to see me They said Puerto Rico does not want independence, but wants instead to become a state
 T would not vote for that, and no other member of Congress I know will vote for it. They just want statehood so they can have some representation in Congress
 This country will never give statehood to any offshore area, I'm sure. If we did, Hawaii would be the first anyway.
 Maybe we could make Puerto Rico a county of Florida, or some thing like that. It might be worked out later. but not state hood"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSCN

WASHINGTON . The War De- partment and General MacArthur are supposed to be part of the same Army team, but apparently one ol them doesn't always be- lieve in letting the right hand see what the left hand doeth.'
 When this column recently pub lished the text of a secret tele- gram from Macarthur in which he proposed barring the special correspondents of the Christian Sci ence Monitor New York Herald Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and others from Japan, an explos- i've statement was immediately is sued by MacArthur. It was report ed hy the United Press from Tokyo as follows:
 "A spokesman for General Doug las MacArthur denied reports oi columnist Drew Pearson that the Supreme Commander had banned several newspapers from Japan, in- cluding the Chicago Sun, New York Herald Tribune, PM and the San Francisco Chronicle.
 "'There is not the slightest truth in these assertions, a CHG public relations officer said.'
 But within an hour of the Mac Arthur statement, the War De- partment confirmed the accuracy of the Macarthur cable as report ed by this column. Here is the United Press report from the War Department:
 "The War Department declined comment on a report by Drew Pearson that Gen. Macarthur banned representatives of several important newspapers from making a trip to Japan.
 "The Army said the only com- ment that could be made would have to come from MacArthur.
 Reliable War Department sources said Pearson quoted correctly from the text of a cable from MacAr- thur to the War Department. They said the officer or civilian who disclosed the information to Pear son would probably be court mar tialed for violating security if his identity were discovered.
 Other War Department sources said the text of Pearson's column had been radioed to MacArthur.' Note-MacArthur, in his cable to the War Department, had Jumped the staunch Republican New York Herald Tribune and the San Fran cisco Chronicle along with the Com munist Daily Worker, the Liberal PM and the pro-Democratic Chi cago Sun and accused them all of downright quackery and dishon- esty." He said he did not want representatives of these papers

Miners, Mine Owners and General Public Suffer-
 ed During Walkout
By JAMES NARROW


 WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-The coal miners are hack at work. They lost by the strike. So did the mine owners. So did the country. The following figures come from the governments Solid Fuels Ad- ministration, which handles coal mines:
 In 1946 the average miner lost in wages by his two strikes $60O.88. The two strikes were: 39 working days in the spring, l5 this fall. (The spring strike ended 59 days after it began, the fall strike 17) Since there about 100000 miners and each lost an average of s6OO88 on the two strikes-their total loss for 54 lost working days in 1946 was $240, ,352,000.
 The following figures come from the National Coal Association, the mine owners organization:
 The 54 idle working days cost the mine owners about $54,000, ,000-or S1,OOO,0O0 a day--for keeping the idle mines in standby condition.
 This means It cost them $l,O0O,- GOO for maintenance of about 2.200 mines while they were not work ing. That was clear loss.
 The spring strike cost the nation 70,000,O00 tons of coal not mined, and the fall strike cost 25,O00,O00
