US. Time ToContinue In Suburb
 MiddIebury Plant
 Carries on in Full;
 Zoninq Contested

Full production at the Middle bury plant of the U. s. Time Corp oration will continue, it was indi- Ecated by company officials today, despite plans of the concern to es- tablish an offspring concern in Dundee, Scotland, and to maintain it's assembly plant at Little Rock, Ark.
 Joachim Lehmkuhl, president of the U. s. Time Corporation, yester- day reported at the annual meeting of the stockholders and board or directors that concern over the com- panys welfare is felt because of what he terms to be the unfair and hostile attitude of Middlebury au- thorities."
 Edward Carmody, secretary and member of the board, said that no interruption of production at the Middlebury plant is anticipated now and future plans as to full produc- ton activities will depend on the ruling of the Superior Court. The latter has been asked by the com- pany, by means of declaratory judg- ment, to determine the company's rights and privileges in Middlebury. The town authorities have ordered the concern to dismantle part of it's structure for which permission to build was given with the proviso it be dismantled at the wars end.
 Foreign Competition
 Production at the Scotland plant is not expected to get under way until late in 1946. Construction of the foreign plant was said to be for purposes of meeting the foreign competition such as the Swiss clock

Illinois Enforces 'BFownout' Program

Washington, May 2-(UP) John L. Lewis kept the coal industry and the Government in the dark today over his objectives and strategy in the prolonged strike of 100000 bituminous miners.
 He aroused much speculation over the possibility of new moves by cAI}- ing the 20O-member policy commit tee of the United Mine Workers (A.F.L.) into session next Tuesday Such calls often have foreShadowed major union decisions.
 There was no sign of an inln1edi- ate break, however, and major in- dustries and public utilities were curtailing operations steadily to conserve their shrinking supplies of coal.
 Illinois Calls "BrownOut'
 The Illinois Commerce Commis- sion ordered a return of the wartime 'brownout" for Chicago and 66O other communities for the duration of the strike. The order banned commercial use of electricity for signs, window interiors, comfort air conditioning or interior heating in excess of minimum requirements.
 In New York, an offlcal of the Consolidated Edison Company, said if the strike went three more weeks, the "only thing to do is shut up the whole town" The city had only enough soft coal on hand to keep subways running this month:

 The committee already had pro claimed general strike of Arabs throughout Palestine tomorrow in protest against the Anglo American report.

 The extent to which the Arabs were prepared to go in civil dis obedience and youth mobilization was not clear immediately.
 On the eve of the Arabic general strike, Jewish quarters denounced Premier Clement Attlee's statement in the British House of Commons yesterday that all illegal armies in Palestine must be disbanded before 100000 could Gater the Holy Land. Continued Page 16- (ARABS)

Air Service Benefit Seen
 Merger Would
 Bring One Line

Flight service by means of a single airline service from Water bury to principal western and southern cities is promised for this city should the proposed merger of the Northeast Airlines and the Pennsylvania Central Capital Air line) be approved by the Civil Aeronautics Board in Washington.
 Paul F. Collins, president of the Northeast lines, today asked CAB approval of the merger promising that every city on the Northeast route would be provided one-car- rier service, for the first time, to and from such important cities as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron, De- troit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Knox vile, Chattanooga and Birming- ham,"
 The Northeast Airlines is the only one holding a franchise, at this time, to provide air service to and from Waterbury if the city is suc- cessful in building its proposed $3,- 5OO,0 class 3 airport. Some oppo- sition to the airport has been ex- pressed by the Council of Con1- munity Clubs and certain indus trialists.
 Service Defined
 A one-carrier service is defined as a service whereby a passenger is able to take a long flight by means of one airline without trans fer to another line.

Illinois Di1,1n1ed
Illinois Dlnn1ed Nation Wears Crisis
 On Coal Shortages
(By United Press)

Illinois curta1led the use Ol elec- tricity today and state and city otfl- cials across the country conten1- plated similar measures as coal sup plies dwindled and the shortage grew in intensity.
 The shortage, caused by the month-old soft coal walKout, al- ready had resulted in the loss of 54, ,966,844 tons, according to the Solid Fuels Administration, and has idled an estimated 65,O00 workers in coal-consuming industries.
 In Illinois, a "brown-out" more drastic than the wartime curfeW went into effect, darkening movies and display signs and limiting elec- trical power to industrial and com- mercial users.
 Other Cities Prepare
 Similar regulations were antici- pated in major cities throughout the East and Midwest, where otti- cials reported coal stockpiles ap- preaching the danger point.
 A total of 23,000 employees or the Carnegie Illinois Steel Corporation were sent home in the Pittsburgh area alone, and company spokes- men said production was down to 20 percent of capacity. :,
 The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad said it had been forced to lay OH 1000 employees, and other roads re- ported the cancellation of passenger runs as a result of rapidly decreas- ing supplies. Thirty-four engines or the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad stood idle in the Columbus, O., freight yards.
 At Cleveland, the Pittsburgh Steamship Comany, largest of the Great Lakes operators, said its boats would be laid up within two weeks if the strike continued. An an- nouncement from the Canada Steamship Lines said three of its boats were unable to obtain fuel to

said he had in mind asking A,

to look the contract over.
While changes in the contract
must be decided by the Navy De-

Elk Hills Oil Contract
Decision Until Nov. Is
By J. 4. o'Leorv

The House Naval Affairs Commit
tee has put on q decision until
November Is on revision of the
Nays contract with the Standard
Oil Co. Of California for operation
bf the Elk Hills reserve In Califor-
MIA, to get the views of independent
oil men on the proposed change.
The company owns one-t third of
the Elk Hills reserve, and the Navy
two-thirds. When the war ended
the Navy stopped taking any of its
oil out, and last May reduced Stand
ards withdrawal quota to 8, 400 bar
res q day, the minimum required
for testing to keep all of the reserve
in good condition for q future emer-
gency.
The company contends the normal
cost Of producing this much oil is
$500 900 4 year, in addition to which
1t Is paying all of an additional
$500, 900 cost OF keeping the wells in
state of readiness for national
defense.
Seeks Apportioned Cost.
The company Is asking for an
amendment under which this excep-
tional $500, 900 cost would be appor-
toned according to the percentage
of ownership, or $500 900 by the COM
pany and $400 900 by the Navy. II
adopted, Standard would be paying
$500, 900, the normal cost of the oil
1t is producing plus one-third of
the readiness program. and the Navy
the remaining 100000.
Commodore w. G. Greenman, di-
rector of naval petroleum reserves
told the House Committee yesterday
that he believes the amendment is
In the best interests Of the United
States and that he interposes no
objection to its adoption.
When committee members learned,
however, that higher ofYicials OF the
Navy have not yet gone on record,
Chairman Vinson sent for Secretary
Of the Navy Forrestal.
Forrestal to Ask Advice.
Mr.. Forrestal said that If when
the matter reaches him he finds
there has been an inequitable ar
rangement, and If the Government
can get some consideration from the
company in return for the amend
ment, he would recommend an ad-
justment. He added, however, it is
his intention to ask the advice Of
some independent oil men before
making decision.
This prompted Chairman Vinson

day and the company one-ninth.
Representative Lyndon johnson,
Democrat, Of Texas said he thought
the company would think long
time" before invoking that part of
the contract, because it needs all of
the oil 1t is now getting. If it should
be invoked, he argued. the Navy
could realize from its oil more than
its share of the production cost.
Chairman Vinson replied that
would be a complete reversal. how
ever, of the Navy's policy of con-
serving its own oil in the ground for
a future emergency. 1t would mean,
he said, that Navy would be using
up its oil and conserving Standards S

ment does not want its oil converted

want the oil conserved In the
ground.
Gerald D. Morgan. special counsel
to the House Committee, filed q re-
port in which he concluded the
cost-sharing amendment would be
equitable both to Standard and the
Navy, but recommended that, as a
consideration for the change, Stand
ard give up its asserted right to In
woke another part Of the contract
under which it would no longer
take out all Of the oil required for
the readiness program.

 On British Train Ride
By FREDERICK c. OTEEAKAN fRT,'ee@,a n,...s csaSe e1n--.-,.~s. a.s,t


 United Press staff CoFrespOndent) London, April 26--The Princess Maud ct Paddington was sleek and shiny, panting softly, and bound in brass, The man in the red braid- ed hat caressed her gently and away she went, making sounds as of rus tling taffeta.
 That's no way to begin a harrow ing tale about a pumpkin (name of Othman) aboard a train de luxe for bennington Spa, but can't resist telling you first about Great Britt aims feminine locomotives. They are small, curvaceous, and have such a musical beep that "dainty'' is the word for them. That must be why they have naGneplates like the Princess Maud. So hold onto your seats.
 The Princess was chuffng sedate- ly through the well-manicured countryside on the outskirts of Lon- don and l was locked in the corn- pertinent of 6 coach 30 small that there was no room for an aisle. The only way to move around on this train was by means. of running board, aS on Q Model T.
 Happens in England
 After half an hour an athletic conductor stuck his head in the window and wished me a good morning. No, he said, he did not want my ticket. I asked him when we'd get to bennington and I give you my word that this Is what he replied:
 "oh, sir, I beg your pardon. I forgot my timetable this morning and I do not know when we get to bennington. Good day, sir"
 The compartment was a luxurious job with blue plain upholstery on form fitting cushions, mahogany woodwork and pictures on the wall. But could I enjoy it2
 Flaw. I had to switter from side to side, feeling like @ visitor to Mars, keeping my eye on the sta- tions as they flashed by. Some had signs; some didn't. Occasionally we stopped. A few passengers got on. Nobody knew when we got to bennington. At each pause some of my fellow travellers jumped off and Sprinted for the restaurant car; others sprlnted back.
 Poor FOodstuffs
 When we got to bennington I didn't know 1t. I escaped as. the Princess began to glide down the great western track to the next stop. Shaken, I got @ cup of tea for thruppence at the station, plus chunk of what the girl called cake for tuppence. I am sure the British will agree when I report that this cake was the color of sandstone and tasted like building plaster.
 l still had my ticket. Nobody wanted 1t. Having attended to my business, I got another train three hours later for London. This one was damned, I had to stand, A lady with three red-haired children and basket of cabhageS got off. Then she got back on again. She thought she was at Upper Chissel- witch, if understood her right.
 Halfway back to London I got seat. l tried to act like Britisher. I sat down carefully, planted my weary feet solidly on the floor, and looked straight ahead, saying noth- ing. An elderly gentleman in 6 gates ajar collar eyed me carefully, tapped me on the arm and said:

 I. guess he was psychic, maybe. He wanted to know about gangsters. I told him. Goodness" he said. So we arrived in London and 1 was wondering about those conductors, who still hadn't tried to collect my ticket.
 I spied e queue outside at the taxicab stand, leaped toward 1t and felt a restraining hand. A blonde girls hand. She wore a red-braided cap. She was out of sorts with me.
 "You can't leave the station with out giving up your ticket, sir" she said.
 I had another cup of tea.
