 Dr. 6. Y. M. Newman, his per. sonal physician, said after a con. sultation with three other physi- clans that Walker was receiving oxygen with a mask and that he still was in a coma which he entered ct 7:30 A. M. yesterday. Dr. Newman gave no further iEdlca- ton of the treatment being given Walker who was suffering from Q cerebral thrombosis.
 The last rites of the Catholic Church were administered to Walk CT yesterday shortly after he arrived at the hospital.
 Walker. now 0s years old. had been aillng for several weeks, his sister, Mrs. Nan Walker Burke, reported. But he had been going to his office regularly until Thursday when he waS unable to get out of bed. His physician was summoned Saturday.
 "Dapper Jimmy" were tne words used to describe Walker when he headed the city administration from 1926 to 1884 lie combined the tale ents of a snowman with those oE a politician to become one of the most popular figures ever to head the city government.
 He spent more time out of his of. flee than in 1t during his six years as the city's first citizen. Yet he gained e worldwide reputation as an afn- bassadoF of Goodwill.
 His popularity with the masses was just as tremendous. His friends included the great and the humble and when news of his illness was an- nounced. the switchboard at Doctors Hospital was damned with well- wishers, including many notables in public life, who called to see how he was.
 He resigned as mayor in 1882 uns der fire of an investigation into graft and corruption in the city by the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then governor of New York. But the public always remembered him as he gay, affable mayor who liked to go places and do things. He was an inveterate attendant at fights, thea- ters and nightclubs.
 He has lived & comparatively quiet life in recent years, devoting much of his time Co his two adopted chil- dren, Jimmy, Jr., 2. and Mary Ann, 10,

Government based it's peti- tion would be made available as quickly as possible.
 The injunction was ob- tained as miners answered the Governments "stay-at-work" |plea with widest walkoats in many areas.
 It was presumed that the 0ov- ernsnenk suit vas based upon the contention Of @eere3ary Of Interior J, A. Krug, backed up by Clark that Lewis could 3soe lssnlay serm- mate his present contract with the Government.
 Lewis, on advice of his own legal counsel. maintained the position that the contract was responsible and that 1t could be terminated at his will.
 On this basis. he had served no- tee upon Krng that he was term- mating the contract as of Wednes- day night.
 One high official said Mir. TFu- man was not spelling for a fight with Lewis but said the explanation for the Governments attitude was as "stmple as this: Somewhere. sometime, the Administration must find out who is more powerful Lewis or the Government This looks like the best time"
 Deaf Ear Expected
 Lewis has announced that the Governments contract with his United Mine Workers (A.F.L) will expire ct midnight Wednesday, and his 4O0.0O0 bltuminous miners additionally do not work without c contract.
 Reports from tine coal fields said that while most of the miners did not relish the prospect Of 6 pay less holiday season. they were exc pected to turn 6 deaf ear to the Governments stay-on-the-tob pleas.
 The great coal-consuming indus tries prepared for the worst with plans to eurtail operations in event of c mine shutdown.
 "A coal strike would sharply cur- tail steel production within c week." said a spokesman for the U. S. Steel Corporation.

Britons Denied A-bon1b Loan

London. Nov. ie.-(UP)-The Daily Express said today that British efforts to borrow some of the United States store of atom bombs. which it estimated at 100. had failed.
 The story also stated that no atom bombs are being made in Britain. 1t quoted military strategists that there was little likelihood Britain would have any appreciable numbers of atom bombs within five years.
 Complete secrecy maintained by the United States on the method of making plutonium was a factor in delaying dee velopment of atomic energy for military purposes by the British. the Express said.

 First Since asas
 The Ble Five meeting was the first since September, less, when the United states. Britain, Soviet Rus. ssa. France and China met ln Ion. don Co begin drafting Hitler satel- lite t.eaties. That meeting ended fn complete failure and eventually China was literally kicked out of the meetings.
 Since then the Big Four -- with China osit-lAve carried the re- Sponsibility for trying Co write treaties for Italy, Romania. Bul- garia. Hungary and Finland. They are still trying and are meeting in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for their 18th session in New York--the iOist since the Council of Foreign Minis. teES was formed at Potsdam-a few hours after the five discuss the veto.
 Secretary of states James F. ByTnes was reported to have taken over from the U. S. delegation to the LIN Assembly direction of the debate over the veto. He will be saae tap man at the Big Five talks today for the United States.
