WASHINGTON, Nov. A.
up - More bituminous coal

resumed their wage talks
briefly and then recessed un-
til after the elections without
any word of progress.
Lewis remained away from
the negotiations with Navy

been representing the govern
ment in the absence of Secretary
of the Interior Krug.
Presumably any S o W d 0 w n
awaited Krug's return from a west

The secretary and Collision have
insisted that the K~rug-Iewis agree
ment of last spring covers the en-
tire period of government posses
sion. The coal mine owners, who
have been serving as mine man
ayers, agree with Krug.
Lewis maintains that the pro-
cedure for terminating a contract
was carried over from his last
agreement with the coal operators,
and that entities him to wipe out
the agreement November 20, after
Is days of negotiations.
Time Slipping Away
Time was slipping by without
apparent progress. The confer

COLLISION was started Friday. They

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y,
Nov. 4. -(P)- The United
Nations Security counci |
agreed unanimously Monday
10 strike the controversial
Spanish case from it's agenda
and give the General assem-
blv a free hand to recommend
action against Generalissimo
Francois regime.
The case was dropped at
the request of Polish delegate
Oscar LANCE, who originally
brought the Spanish question be-
fore the council last April with a
demand for a worldwide diplo-
matte break with the Franco gov
eminent.
LANCE pointed out that a charter
provision prevented the assembly
from making recommendations on
the case while it was before the
council.
His resolution provided that the
encouragement notify the as
sembly of Mondays action and
that the council forward all pert
lent documents on the case to
assist the 51-nation assembly in
making a decision.
Full Discussion
The assembly already has agreed;
TO give the Spanish question a full
discussion, and Lange last Satur-
day submitted two resolutions for
specific action, which will come
up before the 14-nations steering
committee Tuesday for inclusion
in the agenda.
These providefor recommend
alton of the universal diplomatic
break with the Franco government
and recommend that Spain be ex-
Guided from membership in any
organization connected with the
United Nations.
As a result of Mondays unani-
nous action, there seemed to be
little doubt that the Polish pro-
posals would get on the agenda. 1t
