 IS BITTER
Says # Governor Gruenino Controls Legislature
 He'll Quit

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, May 2.- Territorial Senator Norman R.. Walker, leader of the opposition to Gov. Ernest H. Gruening in the recent special session of the lcgis- lature stated in a letter to the Ketehikan Chronicle today that he would resign If it appears (after the October General Election) that Governor Gruening is going to con- trol the legislature" The Chronicle said that incom- rlete and unofficial returns from Tuesdays primary election indicat- cd members of the so-called Walk CT bloc" in the legislature were be- ing beaten for Democratic party nominations.
 Walkers letter was an answer to a letter to the editor in which Olef Johnson, shingle mill operator, yes- tsrday suggested that Walker re- sign.
 Johnson's letter was occasioned by Walkers walking out of the Chamber of Commerce two weeks ago when it declined to adopt resolution supporting him, the Chronicle reported.

 JEW ISSUE
Wants Holy Land Problem Directed by UN0-Brif-
 ish Proposal Made
By Aler H. Singleton

WASHINGTON, May a. The United States shied away today from the prospect of direct inter- vention in Palestine, apparently counting on the United Nations to assume further responsibility for the troublesome Holy Land prob lem.
 Although congressional opinion overwhelmingly favored the propos- ed migration of 100000 Jews there, it was plain the lawmakers were against this country's joining Brit ain in the thankless job of main- taining peace between Arab and Jewi
 White House Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters he was un- able to say what President Tru- mans reaction was to British proposal that the United States lelp administer the Holy Land.
 Reaction from other quarters to the Anglo American committees re- port, Ross said, was generally fav- orable."

BYRD PREDICTS CATASTROPHE TO
 FOLLOW STRIkES
Royalty Payments io Labor Leaders Must Be Siop-
 ped Says Senator

ATLANTIC CITY, May 2-U. s. Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) said today he doubted the nation could avert catastrophe if the coal strike continued another two weeks.
 Speaking to 2,000 delegates to the U. s. Chamber of Commerce 34th annual meeting, Byrd said settlement of the strike hinged on the principle of paying John L. Lewis a $60,000,000 annual royalty. T do not believe our business econ omy can operate by paying royal ties to labor leaders, such as John L. Lewis and James Petrillo, and for my part, feel it is the duty of the Congress of the United States to prohibit such demands by ap- propriate legislation" Byrd said.
 The coal strike has caused the less of 50,000,000 tons of production, he said, and if it continued for two mere weeks railroads. public utili- ties and other vital industries would be forced to close down.

Niqht Life in Illinois Is Under Drastic (ui; Slash
 Due 10 Sofi Goal Strike

CHICAGO, May 2.--Industry, business and entertainment in about 1900 Illinois communities, in- cluding Chicago and most of the states other large cities, were un- der a drastic order today to inn mediately cut use of electrical pow CT to safeguard public health and safety during the cricical soft coal shortage.
 The slash in use of electricity, ordered by the Illinois Commerce Commission as an emergency mea- sure, indicated a brownout for about two-thirds of the state far more rigorous than the wartime cur few and a virtual shutdown of nearly all night time public ac- tivities.
 The order indicated there would be no movies after 6 p. m. and apparently meant the shutdown of legitimate theatres at night, as well as ban on all night sports events, including baseball games in the four Illinois cities in three-I league.
 The order, aimed to conserve rapidly diminishing coal supplies because of the 32-day nationwide soft coal strike, was issued last night and affects nine power com- panies serving Chicago and north ern and central Illinois. It can.c after the commission heard testi- mony that utility coal stocks would be exhaused in about three weeks.

INVESTIGATION
 SPANISH ISSUE lS WORLD WIDE
UNSC Subcommittee Asks Information for All
 Sources Be Given

NEW YORK, May 2.-The United Nations Security Council sub-com- mittee Investigating the spanish question called today for all mem Der nation intelligence bearing on Spain and. in effect, invited both the Franco regime and the exiled Spanish Republicans to present their bitterly opposed arguments as well.
 The investigators, after their first secret meeting yesterday, said they would welcome information from any source.
 This wide-open invitation would permit the Franco regime, if it de- sired, to offer evidence to offset the contributions already presented to the Council by the Spanish Repub- licans through Polish delegate OS- car Lange in his demand for a col Iective U. N. diplomatic break with Madrid.
 The subcommittee is in recess until next Monday awaiting the re- sponse to circular letter asking the governments of the 51 United Nations to present "all relevant material in the possession on the situation in Spain
 Meanwhile, the investigators had before them 461 letters and tele- grams from private sources almost unanimously disappearing the Franco regime.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Here are two unpleasant but unacceptable facts regarding the food shortage. They must be kept in mind if the An American nations are to alle- yiate worldwide starvation.
 1. Only by careful skimping on the part of housewives, hotels and restaurants, can the United States fulfil it's food promises. There just isn't enough grain and oil to go round-unless we pull in our belts.
 2. U. S. officials aren't saying much, but they weren't happy over English and Canadian cooperation --pr lack of cooperation-in allo- eating their grain surplus to Eur ope.
 British slowness, however, is ron- sidered no excuse for American failure to meet commitments; so U. s. officials will continue thelr all-out efforts. However, here is what we are up against: Wheat on hand in this country as of January l totalled 689,OOO.O00 bushels. Of this, the January-June use of wheat will. be 10000, 900 bushels for feed, 23,000,000 for seed, 150,000, 900 bushels for carry y-over; leaving all most 450.000.000 bushels for human consumption and export.
 Agriculture Secretary Clinton An derson's recent flour curtailment order will probably reduce human consumption in this country to about 260,00O.00O bushels, leaving less than 2o0,OO0,0OO bushels for ex- port.
 Against that. we have a commit trent of 225 100000 bushels to be

FOOD DRIVES AREpLANNED
 OVER NATION
Famine Relief Campaign Be Launched Through
 Efforts of Mayors

WASHINGTON May 2.-Pres- ident Truman's Famine Emergency Committee appealed today for energetic community campaigns throughout the land to conserve food for famine relief.
 The nations mayors were called upon individually to get these drives rolling by setting up local famine emergency committees that will enlist the united efforts of the communitys leadership.
 Food Picture
 Othss top developments in the overall food picture:
 1LIncreased black market traf- fife in butter was indicated by an Agriculture Department report, which said stocks available at re- gular outlets seemed to decline last month despite moderate gains in the amount of butter produced.
 2.-Secretary of Agriculture Clin- ton P. Anderson voiced increased optimism over prospects for a bumper crop. He said the crop is maturing two weeks earlier than normally in most wheat areas and called this an encouraging sign.
 3.-Rains ii the northern re- gions extending as far south as Kansas yesterday made welcome news for crop exports, for an earl fer weather bureau report stated that rain was urgently needed in several parts of the area.
 1.-The Agricultural Department announced it will continue to make food purchases for foreign govern ments after July because of the current crisis. These are for food short nations who are ineligible for UNRRA aid and able to repay this country for the supplies.
 5.-The way was cleared for the opening May 12 of a nationwide emergency food collection campaign which will solicit contributions if canned goods and cash for famine relief. Secretary of Commerce Wal lace, National Chairman for this drive, and UNRRA Director Gener- al La Guardia ironed out their dif- ierences over how it should operate.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-John L. Lewis today seemed to have vir- tually ruled out any possibility of a coal strike settlement for at least five more days as dwindling fuel supplies cut most Illinois factories and business establishments to 20 or 24 hours of electricity week.
 Lewis action in summoning the 250-man policy committee of the United Mine Workers to Washing ton next Tuesday was construed by close observers of previous strike strategy to indicate he did not ex- pect any agreement with the soft coal operators by then.
 The committee would have to ratify any settlement proposal. but it also could have been summoned to hear a report on progress and take up problems connected with the opening of contract parleys for IS 5,000 anthracite miners on May 10.
 As the coal shortage became more acute. Acting Health Commis- sioner Israel Weinstein in New York City termed the situation very grave He said that unless there are signs of an end to the strike within week he will ask that subway operations be curtailed, a brownout instituted and the City's Disaster Control Board con- ,rax1ol
