 Vents Slaughter
 In Nations Coal
 Fields Stopped

Washington, March 1o-(UP)- President John l.. Lewis of the Un- tied Mine Workers (AFL) demand ed again today that mine owners halt slaughter and "extortton" in the nations coal fields.
 The negotiators closed their pub lie sessions after Lewis'S 0O-minute rebuttal. The negotiating sub-conl- mittee was to hold it's first closed meeting this afternoon to begin thrashing out a new contract.
 Lewis, in closing, said the op- orators proposal for 6 basic 40- hour week was an effort to turn the clock backward" Referring to the industry's proposal for greater union responsibility in preventing walkouts, he said the operators alone were guilty of breaking con- tracts with the union.
 Lewis challenged bituminous mine operators near the end of a rebuttal. statement in the national coal wage conference.
 The negotiaters were preparing to begin face-to-face bargaining in closed session.
 Demand Safety
 Emphasizing UNIV demands for improved heafth and safety condi- tions, Lewis read again the "indict- ment" he handed to the operators last week. It charged that the soft coal industry in l4 years had killed 28OOO men. injured l.0O4.OO0 and extorted 6O,OO0. 900 from the miners for inadequate medical services.
 He told the operators the UMW was making only two demands aIic that It's other proposals were "sug' gestions." Those demands, he said were for "abatement of this slaugh' ter" and cessation of the accom- panying extortion."
 "What do you want?" he asked aPeace or do you prefer war? Wel await your reply with interest or those issues"
 Lewis proposed that the oper' ators agree to a contract provision stating that 1t was recognized "tha the loss cf life in coal mines anG the ratio of injuries is too ssea' 0ontiauad Page 0--HEWAS)

It is the total elimination OF

everyone on the set, from Direc-

games, nice quiet games, as an
outlet for the kid stars surplus
energy and always vivid imaglna'
ton.
Agnes Moorhead thought she
had scored a ringer when she
gave Butch a wood-burning set.
All was fine until he started to
etch his initials on some OF the
furniture on the set. Parchesi,
checkers, and other games of that
sort were scorned and rejected as

members. A ball and bat proved
ideal out-of-doors, but only for a
brief time. as Butch has an
allergy for remaining in one
place more than few minutes.
Keep Fingers Crossed
To Director Reuben Mamoulian
goes credit for the most effective
solution thus far. It has worked
every day for week-and the
films cast, together with Mamou-
liam, is keeping fingers crossed.
The device is simple! A minia-
ture canvas chair identical with
the egular chairs of the other
stars. And across the back the
name of "Butch Jenkins" let
tered in flaming red.
This has appealed to Butch. 1t
is a full-fledged stars chair, and
all the kings horses can't pry
him away from it when he is not
actually before the camera.
Of course, come next week,
the company will probably find it
equipped with rollers, or pulleys,
or perhaps both.
