IBARU(H CIvESI WAY rLEAREDI |A-B0Mb PLAN FOR SIGN|NG' FOR CONTROL pEACETERMS.
Talks Straight Out at Meet g-Looks Right af
 Gromyko, Too

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. G. The United States made a direct appeal to Russia last night for support of the American plan to control the atomic bomb and urged that the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission approve the plan before the end of the year.
 Bernard M. Baruch, taking speedy advantage of a change in the So- viet attitude as set forth earlier this week by Russian Foreign Min ister V. M. Molotov, looked straight at Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko in last nights Commis- slon session and declared:
 We seek especially the partici- patton of the Soviet Union. We welcome the recent authoritative statements of it's highest represen- tatives. From these, we are iusti- fled in concluding that it no long, CT regards the original American proposals unacceptable, as whole or in their separate parts, as its member of this body stated at an earlier meeting"
 Gromyko's only immediate com- ment was that the Commission needed time to study the proposal.
 Baruch made it clear the Unit ed States would accept nothing less than agreement on it's plan.
 We welcome cooperation but we stand upon cur basic principles ev- en if we stand alone he said. We aim at ,an effective plan of con- Frol and will not accept anything less"
 Baruch said these three elements were inherent in any treaty that would be written.
 l-The erection of an interna- tional authority which shall effec- lively prevent the manufacture and use of atomic bombs for war and which shall develop the use of atomic energy for so- cial gain
 2-The right of free and full in ternational inspection in support of these purposes (now accepted by Russia.
 3-The definite agreement that once a treaty becomes effective for deterrents against of- lenders and punishments for of lenders, there can be no veto to protect wilful violators, or to hamper the operations of the inter- national authority.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 6-Low- cred mining production in Alaska was entrusted with boom" in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada in addresses before the Sand Annual Conven- tion of the Northwest Mining As sociation
 Frank w. Woodside, Vancouver B. O., manager of the British Co., lumbia and Yukon Chamber of Mines, said in an address that long-idle mining camps in the two areas will surge into production again next year and that large numbers of prospecting parties will go into isolated areas to search for new deposits.
 Citing a number of cases in which new companies are having success with old workings or where the original companies are turning cut a good production, WoodSide said the two areas will produce an estimated $70.250,000 worth of ore by the end of this year.
 Another speaker, Ernest N. Pat ty, President of Alluvial Colds. Inc, Fairbanks, Alaska, said on the other hand that Alaska should report a mineral production of s5G,000,000 to $100,000,000 annually but this has been bad year for mining in Alaska and the total

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The Truman Administration dilly-dallying over conversion of the Big Inch and Little Inch pipelines to natural gas is exactly like Herbert Hoov- CTS handling of the bonus army. It all boils own to the problem Of looking ahead (some people call it statesmanship).
 When veterans began struggling into Washington in the summer of 1882, Hoover did nothing about them Soon he woke up to find about 10000 veterans literally camped on the Nations doorstep, finally had to resort to bayonets, tanks and Gen. Douglas Macarthur to run them out of town.
 When Roosevelt came along later, veterans still continued to enter Washington. However, Roosevelt handled them as a day-to-day prob- lem, didn't let them accumulate. Each day they were taken down to Fort Hunt, Va, just south of the Capital, then helped to get back to their homes or places where jobs were available.
 Likewise with the Governments pipelines. Four years ago, when they were first built, it was we'll known that John L. Lewis was worried over the possibility that they might be converted to natural

production will not be more than $l0000,0O0."
 Patty blamed the situation on a squeeze between the rising cost of labor and materials and the fixed price of gold, $35 an ounce. He urged following the lead of Can ada in two respects.
 He said now was a strategic time to work for a bill such as is now in effect in Canada-the New Mines Act which exempts all new mines from Dominion taxes during the first three years Of produc- tion.
 He also advised adoption of the prospector's grubstake plan which he said is working out well in British Columbia.
 Many of the large Canadian mining companies actually employ prospectors as such-put them on the payroll-send them into the field and give them cut on any thing worthwhile they discover"
 Patty said mo one can deny that Alaska is the most favorable area in the United States for the dis covery of new mines but we just aren't getting the prospectors into the hills. He recommended that they be subsidized by the Territory Of Alaska or the Federal Govern ment when the next unemploy- ment cycle sets in.

TRIBUNAL 10 BE ASKED FOR EARLY RULING
Court of Appeals 10 Be Bly, passed No Recession
 in Fight by. Govt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-Tbe Government today asked the Su- preme Court to review the John L. Lewis contempt case in the coal strike and give an early decision. i Ihis move to bypass the inter- mediate Court of Appeals was taken alter newsmen were told by cab met member after an hours meet ing with President Truman that
 there will be no turning back in this fight"
 upon obtaining Court of Appeals permission, Justice Department at- torneys rushed to the nations high st tribunal and filed a petition asking it to take over the case in- Volving a paralyzing shutdown of soft coal production and speed if to a final decision.
 The petition was fled with the clerk of the Supreme Court only two hours after counsel for Lewis and the United Mine Workers fil- cd in the Court of Appeals notice ot appeal from their contempt con victions by District Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
 The Justice Departments petition said the question for determina- ton by the high court was:
 Did the District Court of the United States in this case have the power under the constitution and statutes by the izsuaace O. a tenn porary restraining order to pre- vent irreparable injury to the people of the United States, to prevent in- tcrference with sovereign functions Of the United States and to pro- tect the District Courts Jurisdiction to decide questions of law and fact incident thereto?"
 Lewis and his United Mine Work CTS today posted bond to meet the s3,5l0,0o0 in fines levied against them for contempt of court stem ming from the coal strike.
 Meanwhile, the American people began to feel the impact of the coal strike even more keenly. A drastic embargo on freight shipments went into effect this morning, along with an embargo on all parcel post ship ments weighing more than five pounds.
 And with Christmas just around tfe corner, there came a new wave of mass layoffs. Today the num- Der of men and women forced out of work in industries dependent on coal scared to 213,000
 The government made ready to clamp new series of drastic re- strictions on the people in a move to save coal If the strike is still on next Monday, the dimout will be extended to all electric power ccmpaniss in the country which de- pend on coal. That would apply chiefly to Florida. Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi.
 Even more drastic measures may be announced when President Tru- man goes on the air next Sunday night to present his views on the coal situation to the American people The President will speak at 9:30 p. m., Eastern Time, over all major networks

PEACE AT OAKLAND
 UNEASY;; UNREST X REPORTED sHcTs'EEIbssos

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 6-An un- easy peace settled over the Oak land metropolitan area today in the wake of the 54-hour AFL mass strike, and some labor sources pre- dicted that unrest might break out again.
 For the 100000 East Bay resi- dents who felt the paralysis of the blanket walkouts for two and a half days, all was normal. Trains, busses and elevators were operat- ing, stores and restaurants were open, construction work resumed and newspapers appeared
 But business and labor leaders, taking stock of the surprise set tlement" effected between City Manager John F. Hassler and the unions yesterday morning, con- fcssed they were confused at the terms-or at the lack oi specific terms.
 AFL chiefs claimed Hasslel prom ised that Oakland police no longer would escort strikebreakers as they did Sunday at Kahn's and Hast ing's department stores-the action which led to the mass strikes start on Tuesday.
 But members of sne Retail Mer- chants Association said the city manager had told them he made ne such promise. They said he guaranteed only that city laws would be enforced.

Blind pensions

To the Editor:
Hunger is becoming an actual
ity for more than $4,000 persons
IN the State who must depend for
their livelihood on incomes from
the Four forms of Public Aids.
With the lifting of price cell
ings on meat and other items,
their cost of living budget is be-
ing smashed from one side by
the big packers, and is being
bombarded from the other by the
big diaries. These unfortunate
victims of initiation include old
age pensioners, mothers with
dependent children, the aged
blind and the blind of all ages
as well as the families on gen
eral relief. All are caught be-
tween the iron block of fixed
grants and the hammer of stead
lily increasing prices.

The maximum food grant tun-
der the $50 maximum) for a fam
lily of two aged citizens is only
$34.71 a month. The blind VINO

Both parties alike
TO the Editor:

Mr.. Hoover and others like him
came out with a statement that
in Europe the people were going
left, but in America there was
a tendency to the right as a re-
suit of the election.
Yet this is not fact In the
eyes of the voters to. whom
both parties are alike. They
have no confidence i'm politi-
clans. If the Republicans were
now in power, the people would
have voted against them just
as they turned out the Demo
Gratis.
People are desperate. Food Is
lacking at the table and when
ever a house is destroyed by fire
the ousted occupants have nc
place to sleep.
The Democrats are not griev'
ing over the election, because
they know that when the voters
get tired of the Republicans, the
voters will return to them an6
sit In their laps.

Peocefime controls
HARRY sALTZ
TO the Editor:

Analysts of the election re-
turns tells US that the result was
largely due to the public protest
over the retention of wartime
controls SO long after the termi-
nation of hostilities. If this is so,
1t also behooves the government
to abandon peacetime conscrip-
ton.
So the public Is tired of war
time controls. 1t seems then that
the businessmen, who objected
so much more strenuously,
should also begin to show signs
of admitting that the war is over.
Thus far Chicago's apostles of
individualism show no signs Of
practicing what they preach.
The lob ecker must still sub
INIT as gracefully as possible to
rogues-galIery photographs, fin
gerprinting and slave-blOck physi-
cal examinations. These defense
precautions were mot necessary
i'm World War /. They were In
World War iii, and the big-hOuse
technique of mugging and brand
ing is still in use.
Is this the kind of freedom we
fought hitlerism to win?
