100000 Japanese
Ordered 10 Strike
By the kssoeioisd fress

TOKYO, Sept. 1.-THE Congress
OF Industrial Unions, claiming a
membership of 100000, tonight
ordered a nationwide strike of
all af1liated unions. Because Of the
week end holiday, effect of the order
on major industries probably will
not be known before Monday.
The strike Of GU affiliate, the
Japan Seamen's Union, has tiedup
eight American Liberty ships at
Yokohama and the japanese crews
OF six others threaten to walk of,
Kyodo News Agency reported.
The GU condemned the govern
ment's settlement earlier today Of
a disagreement that had threatened
a nationwide railway strike and
ordered its af11liates to fight until
the collapse of the (Premier) Yo-
shida reactionary government" 1t
charged the government was de-
ceptive in it's settlement Of the rail
controversy.
The GU, demanding a common
front, ordered these unions to
strike: Coal miners, machinery
workers. harbor workers and pub
fishing and printing workers. with
combined membership of 556. 600.
If the union members comply,
they and the seamen would total
$4,000 on strike, an unprecedented
walkout in Japan. The action would
be far more Gripping to Japan's
struggling, war-impoverished indus
try than would have been the
ayerted rail walkout.

Gathering in Italy
By the Associoted Press

ROME. Sept. IA ma jor polit-
ical crisis gathered force in Italy
today as the three Italian mass
parties, after several days of con-
ferences, failed to agree on a solu-

began last week with the resigna-

Corbino.
The Christian Democrats, the
country's strongest party, called on
the government today to put into
effect Christian Democrat eco

Avanti, organ of the second
strongest Socialist party, labeled
this proposal "a clear invitation to

reached Thursday on replacing
Corbino, nominal independent

Soft Coal Operators
Divide Over Contract,
Seizure Continues
BY the As.ociotsd Pres.

The Government today faced the
prospect of continuing its control
for another month or more over
the soft coal mines which it seized
to halt the strike of last spring.
The owners split into two groups
with divergent views over terms of
a contract with the United Mine
Workers which would allow the Gov
ernment to return operation of the
mines to them. The mines were
seized last May %. An agreement
was signed by John L. Lewis, UNIV
president, and Secretary of Interior
Krug a week later, ending the strike

Admiral Ben Moreell, the Goa
mines administrator, proposed thai
the mine owners get together with
Mr.. Lewis on contract similar te
the Krug-Lewis agreement, with
important amendments. Without 9
contract between Mr.. Lewis and the
operators, the Government fears a
resumption of the strike If it sur
renders control of the mines.
All but the Southern group of op-
orators accepted, with some revi-
sions, Admiral Moreell's proposition
The Southern group, headed by Ed

Lonesome JeweIer
Barred Nazi Treasure
.0f S15O,000,00O
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Sept. H-American OFF,
Gals estimated yesterday that up
ward Of $50, 100000" in precious
stones and metals were recovered in
mass raids this week In the Ameri-
can and British occupation zones.
A German jeweler, longing for
his wife, gave authorities the first
clues to the hidden treasures once
owned by the German Reich in re-
turn for having his wife brought
back from Southern Germany to
Berlin.
American and British authorities
worked almost a year to prepare
operation sparkler," which started
Tuesday and is continuing.
Maj. Louis Dups of Great Neck,
N. Y, and Col. j. G. Fisher of Will
mette, Ill, both of the decarteliza-
ton branch of the American Mill
tary Government. told of their
treasure hunt" Maj. Dups related:
| Last October, a Berlin jeweler
who was in receipt of small lot of
diamonds from the Reichsstelle fuer
Edelmetalle, which controlled all
precious metals and stones in Ger
many. came to me with the promise
that he could lead me to a lot of
diamonds in Hamburg and provide
other valuable information If I
would agree to bring his wife from
New Frankfurt to Berlin.
II took him up and delivered his
wife to him here. Immediately he
put US in contact with German
official then living in the Russian
sector of Berlin.
This official had access to the
records of the Reichsstelle fuer
/ Edelmetalle. Part of them were
here, the rest were in Thuringia,
slowed away in filing cabinet of
Nazi government office.
Col. Fisher said records showed
that the Reichsstelle fuer Edel-
metalle had dispersed throughout
Germany the following treasure:
! Gold, 13,s5082 pounds: silver
970,739.89 podnds: platinum, TO-
544.70 pounds; palladium, 2.118.64
pounds; iridium, 500.45 pounds;
rhodium, 2S4.40 pounds; silver nj
trate, 176,370 pounds; ruthenium,
1869 pounds; osmium. 1865
pounds, and diamonds, 1885 carats
Col. Fisher said the total, on Ger
man and American valuations, was
estimated at $27O,OO0, 600. Part of
the hoard was in the Russian zone
and a fractional amount was located
at two points in the French zone.
Gold and silver valued at from
s10,O00,00o to $15,0O0,OO was seized
in the "Degussa" gold and silver re-
f1rery at Pforzheim in the American
zone. The amount was far in excess
OF sums indicated on the records,
Col. Fisher said.
The British reported they had re-
covered about 100000, 900 worth of
vaulables, especially diamonds.
American officials said.
Maj. Dups said the German firms
all knew the stocks deposited with
them were Nazi government prop
erty, entrusted to them in the great
est confidence.
They probably also knew that
there was only one original record
noting the location of each deposit"
Maj. Dups said. When nothing
happened for such a long time, they
undoubtedly felt the record had
disappeared and that the precious
metals and stones could never be
traced to them"

Spurs New Drive for

BY the Assoeiated Press

The White House decision in the
seamens wage dispute spurred
fresh drive by some. labor unions

Mixed with 1t were demands that

They turned down as infiationary
the wage increases which AFL mari
