position of certain moneys of the
estate of Neils P. Nielsen. deceased.
Two of his heirs who were entitled

eys in DISPUTE by authority of Chap
ter l04 of the Laws of 1899. That
chapter provides that citizens of
foreign countries cannot inherit in
this state unless such foreign coun-
tries will reciprocallv allow citizens
of this country to inherit there. The
question in this case is whether
Denmark would allow our citizens
to inherit 1t was held that there
was ample and uncontradicted evil
dence to sustain the courts find
lngs and conclusions as to the reci-
procal right of American citizens

Truman Says Coal Strike Becoming Strike
 Against Govt.
CBY THE ASSOCIATED pREss1


 The nations economy stranglsd under the ever-increasing squeeze of the 39-day-old soft coal strike today as President Truman said the work stoppage Of 100000 AFL United Mine Workers gradually was approaching the stage of strike against tfe government
 Pressure mounted for government tai action to end the growing in dustrial chaos which already has sharply curtailed steel production, rail and water transportation and today spread further into the giant automobile industry.
 As the Presideny announced that various methods to cope with the situation were being studied, Chry- sler and General Motors Corpora tions disclosed the impending sus- pension of production in thsir as- sembly plans as result of the strike.
 ACl4Cl dl 4N1OlOlo DdAd lb WObAl b- forced to close its plants within 10 days, affecting a total of 2l5,- GOO workers and raising to more than a million the number of work CTS in the coal and coal-related in dustries either laid off or facing impending unemployment.
 The number affected in Chry- sler plants was not announced im- mediatsly.
 G. M. and Chrysler thus join Ford, third member of the automo- tive Big Three as coal casualties, for previously announced lay-offs of 10000.
 Steam-powered railroads pushed efforts today to meet a midnight deadline on a sweeping freight em- bargo and a 25 percent slash in passenger service as coal stocks available to the government for emergency distribution dropped to less than half days normal sup ply.
 The critical fuel situation brought cn by the 39-day-old soft coal strike resulted in several govern ment steps aimed at stretching ex- isting stockpiles.
 The Civilian Production Admin istration called on electric compsE- ies in coal-burning areas of more than a score of eastern and mid western states to ration power, starting with "brownout" and pro- grsssing to a blackout of all but the most essential services. Steps were also in preparation for ra- tioning manufactured gas.

TO GET WAR ZONE BONUS FOR YRS.
 IN JAP PRISONS

SEATTLE, May 9.-Ths American Mail Line will pay war zone bonus amounting to S250,000 to 40 crew members of the freighter Capillo who went through three years of internment after the ship was sunk by Jap bombs in Manila Harbor early in the war.
 Attorney John Ambler, company representative of the company who made the announcement, said a test case was carried though Fed eral District Court here and the Circuit Court Of Appeals in San Francisco. He said the latter court decided a special rider on the ships articles provided for full payment of regular war zone voyage bonus through the years of internment.
 All the crew members survived the bombing, but three died in tEe camp before their liberation.
 Capt. Carl A. Lundquist of tte steamship Delarof was one of the men who woke up today richer by something more than $5,000 be- cause of the bonus, but he reported for work at the cannery ship as usual. But don't forget we're taking trip with some of that money his wife said. We've got that coming"

LoGudrdia Makes Another Plea Before 48-Gov-

WASHINGTON. May 9.--UNRRA Director General Fiorello LaGuar- dia declared today that famine re- lief food allocations are grossly inadequate and besought countries with available supplies to help prevent catastrophe
 LaGuardia placed before the 48- government council of the Inter national Relief Organization the results of his study and efforts since the group adjourned five weeks ago at Atlantic City The situation outlined in his report ap- peared as bleak now as then.
 Even before the session opened a council move was anticipated to back LaGuardia in seeking a big ger allocation from the combined food beard, set up by Britain, Can ada and the United States
 LaGuardia declared in his report hat UNRRA at present cannot learn even a month in advance what it can count upon' This sit- nation places receiving countries in hopeless position in attempt ing to plan food rationing,' he added

CEILINGS BOOSTED
 ON GRAIN
New Move Designed to Obtain More Supplies
 for Overseas

WASHINGTON, May 9.--At the risk of new bulges in its hold the line" policy, the Government today posted higher prices for grain in a fresh move to obtain more SUD- plies to aid the hungry overseas.
 The price boosts are designed to make it more profitable for more ssrmers- particularly the less effi- cient fceders--to sell their grain, rather than use it for feeding live stock and poultry--a practice that has been limiting the market sup- ply.
 The higher grain ceilings may make some increases necessary in prices of milk and dairy products, Agriculture Department officials said. They also thought it likely that price increases may have to be granted on wheat and corn food products, such as flour, bread, ba- kery products, corn syrup and corn sugar.
 No immediate hike was looked for in the price of meats, poultry and eggs. However, if the higher grain rrices produce the desired effect. there will be considerably less meat and poultry available later on, for curtailmenr of grain feeding is ex- pncted to cause heavy marketing of fowls and animals in the months ahead

sWASHINGTON-Today a vote by the House of Representatives will determine whether the so-called Nylon Lobby has been able to do it's job. This is the lobby of Ar k;snsas, Oklahoma and Texas utility big-wigs who have been trying to block distribution of Government power in competition with private power from the Norfolk and Deni- son Dams on the Texas Oklahoma border and in Arkansas.
 The name '.Nylon Lobby" comes from the fact that Ham Moses, President of Arkansas Power and Light, arrived in Washington with Q promise of nylons for the wives of Arkansas Senators and Con- gressmen. However, a lot of other interesting public relations" ex- penses by this lobby have since been uncovered, including the fact that the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company paid club dues and enter tainment bills for it's executives at various Oklahoma golf clubs--all at the expense of the consumer.

GOVT. MAY TAKE OVER
 GOAL MINES
May Also Be Seized If Strike Is
 Finally Called

.ls WASHINGTON, May 9.-Presi- dent Truman said today the coal strike is slowly and gradually ap- preaching the stage of a strike against the Government and that various methods of coping with it ale under consideration.
 Replying to a question, MT. Iru- man said that he is going into the matter now as to whether he has authority to end the 39-day old coal strike without the consent of 5csln L. Lewis, President of 100000 striking United Mine Workers.
 But, he said he did not favor lay ing aside the British loan in the Senate to take up labor legislation
 MT. Truman termed the British loan as just as important
 Nor would the President commit himself one way or another on proposal by Senator Lucas (D-Ill) which would empower him to seize plants to safeguard the public in eerest and to take away seniority rights of striking workers.
 But as to Government seizure of etruck mines, MT, Truman said only he will cross that bridge when he comes to it.
 The President also declared at a news conference that he would favor seizure of Americas rail- roads if that were necessary to keep them running. There was no amplification on the point,
 As MT. Truman spoke, coal short ages cut deeper into industrial pro duction and prompted Government agencies to take new steps to con- serve Merchandising dimout in the East and Midwest.
 In Detroit, the General Motors end Chrysler Corporations an- nounced the impending suspension of their assembly lines as result oe curtailed rail shipments.)
