Medal of Honor Given Officer
Who Returnedto Non-Com Rank

Sergt. McGaha, a veteran of the
Pearl Harbor attack and early cam
paigns in the Pacific, was wounded
four times during 1945, and had
previously been awarded the Bronze
Star Medal for gallantry. A few
weeks after his display of self-sacri-
flee on Luzon, February 7, 1945, he
received field commission as sec
ond lieutenant of infantry for "bril-
liant leadership in combat"
After his return to the United
States, 1t. McGaha took advantage
of the top commissioned grades
offered to junior officers who re-en-
listed and resigned his commission
last November II. He joined up for
another three-year term and is now

Coal Operators Meet
To Discuss Possible
Compromise Offer

Soft coal operators scheduled a
meeting today to decide on a pos
sible compromise offer to the United
Mine Workers new contract de-
mands with the deadline of a prob
able industry-wide strike only a
week away.
| The operators will attempt to
iron out their own differences as
to procedure in negotiations with
John L. Lewis. Some of the owners
representatives favored making
definite offers to the miners while
others advocated waiting game,
in the hope Mr. Lewis would be-
come more specific, particularly as
to what he wants in the way of a
wage increase.
1t was the opinion of both sides
in the negotiations, meantime, that
so far no progress had been made
toward drafting a new wage agree
ment. Mr.. Lewis is expected to
serve notice, probably Wednesday,
that would terminate the present
mine contract at midnight next
Sunday.
Both Play for Time.
Hopes of Federal officials that
the operators and Mr.. Lewis could
get together this year without a
work stoppage were dimmed by the
deadlocked negotiations and reports
from the fields which indicated the
miners were restless and anxious
for a vacation" The miners ira
ditionally do not work without a
contract.
Both sides obviously were at
tempting to use the pressure of
time for all that 1t is worth. Some
Of the operators believe that con-
Germ over the prospect that Con-
gress might pass drastic labor-re-
stricting legislation in the event of
a coal strike will prevent Mr.. Lewis
from calling out the miners.
Neither Mr.. Lewis nor the oper-
ators so far have made a concrete
wage proposal and each waited for
the other to make the first move.
1t appeared likely that the Gov
ernment would have to step into
the dispute soon to break the dead
lock and attempt to prevent a mine
shutdown.
Renewed Royalty Demand.
In two weeks of open conferences
and closed negotiations, Mr.. Lewis
has done little but drive home his
case for union health and well
fare" fund and improved safety
measures about the mines.
Operators say he has refused to
discuss other major issues such as
wages and unionization of foremen
until the welfare demand is met.
They say he has renewed the de-
mand, made last year for the first
time, for 10-cent per ton coal
royalty.
A number Of the operators favor
an offer on welfare, but an
equally strong group favors outright
rejection. This question also was
to be decided in today's, meeting,
following a sounding out of opin-
ion by the negotiators of their prin-
cipals.

and reparations programs.
The multi-billion-yen assets Of
Japan's four leading Zaibatsu famil-
ies-Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Yasuda and
Sumitomo-were frozen November 8
by an Allied headquarters directive.
Painstaking Research.
Mr.. Edwards, professor of econom-

making painstaking research to
determine means Of achieving wider
distribution OF income and owner
ship ITO aid Japanese economic de-
velopment along peaceful lines"
He added that the study was seek
ing answers to these other questions:
What technique must be used for
breaking up the structure, what
technical skill will be required for
its operation and who will take over,
what compensation is due the famil-
les, and what laws will be needed to
prevent zaibatsu pattern in the
future.
The Macarthur directive freezing
the families assets for 10 years also
stipulated that they must be COM
pensated by the Japanese Govern
ment for their holdings. The famil-
les had controlling interests in all
but one Of Japans banks, all insur-
ance and trust companies.

FILM HANGOVER SQUARE" TONIGHT
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Reaching new heights of fright ening mystery and strange emotion, 2oth Century Fox's new thrin-hit, Hangover Square" starring Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell and George Sanders, opens at the 20th Century tonight
 The film horror classic tells the story of a brilliant compoaer who suffers lapse of memory, during which he commits brutal, cold blooded murders, and Of lovely music hall girl for whom ke throws away a brilliant career as ser ious composer so that he can write her songs only to be betrayed by her for bigger game.
 Laird Cregar is seen in the role of the composer whose mind dis appears into a subnormal world in which he hates the things he loves and is driven by them to unspeak- able crimes of murder and vio- fence. In an exciting departure from her usual "sweet-girl' type roles, Linda Darnell is seen as the slumbrous music hall entertain CT who is determined to carve a career for herself at no matter what cost. George Sanders is seen as a Scotland Yard psychiatrist who probes the depths of dis ordered mind to find the clue to as chilling a series of crimes as ever shocked a nation.
