union attorneys contended that the
Norris-La Guardia Act passed in
1882 applies to injunctions sought by
the Government against unions as
well as to private employers.
Dismissal Plea Heard.
Justice Goldsborough made the
defense dismissal motion the first
business of the day. After hearing
arguments from Joseph Padway
chief counsel of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who is leading Mr.
Lewis court battle, Justice Colds
borough said:
whether the Norris-La. Guardia
Act applies or not in this case. the
disregarding of the restraining Or
der is punishable for contempt.
am saying that to give you the op-
portunity to argue the point later.
If restraining orders are not obeyed
we would have what virtually would
amount to anarchy"
Mr.. Padway then broke in:
eff that is SO, not only Mr.. Lewis
but his lawyers, including myself
should be punished. That certainly
is contrary to the advice we have
given Mr.. Lewis"

Whereupon Justice Goldsborough
told Mr.. Padway with smile
"You know Harry Sinclair said
once he was acting the way he did
because his lawyers told him to, and
was reminded by Justice Hitz (the
late District Court JUSTICE that the
cemeteries are full of people who
took doctors advice"
At that point the judge called a
luncheon recess Of court until 1:4S
pm.
Earlier, Mr.. Padway had "chal-
lenged" the Government to show
that in any decisions under the
Norris-La Guardia Act the courts
in upholding the act, had ever made
any distinction between the Gov
ernment seeking an injunction
against a union and private en-
ployer seeking one.
"If this court does not have juris-

told the court, then the order tre-

With only an II per cent saw

more drastic conservation meas
ures will be taken.

James H. Ferry, vice president OF the

He said he believed that some

of the Commissioners order anc

Some Coal Added to Stockpile.
Coal on order at the time of the

in and is being added to Pepco's
stockpile, Mr.. Ferry said, but there
lis no indication that this viii

The company's coal supply has
stood at $4,000 tons for the last
three days, but has dropped 15,00t
tons since last week, he said. The
total supply is sufficient for 81 days

Russia Opposes
Linking Census
10 Disarmament
MoIotov Asks Prompt
But Separate Action
On Both Questions
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y, Nov
27.-Soviet Russia today strongly
opposed any attempt to link the
proposed United Nations troop
inventory with disarmament dis
cussions, but urged that both
Questions receive immediate ac-
ton, one after the other.
Summing up a six-day debate on
the troop census question, Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov told the
u. ~ Political Committee that this
was the only major point of differ
ence between the Soviet and British
lproposals-whether the two issues
should be handled together or
separately.
He insisted that the inventory
should be limited to troops outside
their home territory and that the
question Of troops at home and
armaments should be dealt with in
connection with discussions toward
disarming.
Britain's latest proposal, MIR. Molo-
tov said, was no different from the
original plan Of Foreign Secretary
Bevin except that it proposed to
bring the disarmament question into
the troop census discussions instead
of putting the troop reports over into
| the arms talk.
Hope for Vote in Next "a Hours.
A survey of delegates indicated
strongly that the 54-member COM
mittee will adopt the proposal for
an immediate world inventory OF
troops at home as well as abroad.
Confident that the proposal viii
jbe approved, spokesmen for both
the American and British delega-
ltions said they hoped the committed
would be able to vote on the issue
within the next "a. hours and cleal
the way for resumption of the dis
cussion on the veto.
Both Great Britain and the
United States are insisting that al
members of the United Nations re.
port on the number and disposition
of their troops at home and abroac
by January l, 1947.
U. S., British Views Favored.
A survey of delegates, however
indicated a majority of the pow.
erful Political and Security Com.
mittee would support British and
American views on the troops Gen.
sus, although the British propose,
for an inspection board to verify
the troop data was expected to be
defeated.
Most delegates doubted a vote
would be taken on the issue today
since Senator Connally, American
delegate, and British Delegate Philip
Noel Baker, might speak again.
Mr.. Molotov made his latest pro-
posal yesterday asking the United
States and Britain if they were
ready to report Immediately on
atomic and jet-propelled weapons
in their peacetime military ma
chine.
This proposal was expected to set
loff a new controversy. Mr.. Noel
Baker said Britain was no more
ready to report on such matters than
was Russia. Senator Connally let
the question pass without direct
answer from his Government.
Anxious to Settle Troop Issue.
But neither Britain nor America
were expected to dwell on this too
much if they decided to speak again

Right Of House Group
ToAsk About Deposits
Questioned by Unions

The House Campaign Expendi-
lures Committee is seeking show
down today with four unions that
have challenged the reasonableness
of some questions put to them by
the committee. The protesting
unions have been invited to pub
lie hearing today.
All affiliates of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, the unions are
American Federation of Musicians,
Teamsters' Union, United Garment
Workers and the United Interna-
tional Union of Laundry Workers.
Through counsel, Joseph Padway,
they objected to parts of ques-
tionnaire the committee sent to $50
organizations. Mr.. Padway con-
tended it was "far beyond the
bounds OF reasonableness" to ask
where union funds are deposited and
to request a detailed income source
report. Mr.. Padway also argued
that the political activity of the
unions did not involve contributions
to candidates. He said it consisted
of publicizing the facts concerning
the records of candidates for public
Office on matters Of interest to trade
unions.
Lowry N. Coe, committee counsel,
said the unions could be cited for
contempt If they persisted in their
refusal, but he expressed the belief
they would cooperate by recogniz-
ing the committees authority.

1.-THE further charge that building

doubly false because this commits
sion issues the building permits
and does the planning.
The Charter Committee asserted
confusion over plans for freeWay
or superhighway to Washington

lect and procrastination.
1.-THE final selection of a route

Mr.. Lees reply to this was:
"The Northwest Freeway route Is

wisely and well ahead of construc-
ton this important future inter-
regional highway.
THE freeway will not be built
until Congress makes the money
available to start 5000 miles OF

U. 5. Is Undecided
On Soviet Proposal
For German Unity

Russian ofnclalS nave mdlcated
agreement in principle on economic
unification of Germany provided
Russia then can collect reparations
from current production in the
Western zones of Germany, 1t was
disclosed here today.
Negotiations along this line were
first revealed in The Sunday Star
Of october 6, when Star Staff Cor
respondent Newbold Noyes, jr, re-
ported from Berlin that 1t. Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, American deputy
military governor, was discussing
such q compromise informally with
Soviet officials in Berlin.
Gen. Clay said then that the
Russians were definitely interested,
but that he was not sure whether
the State Department would sane
ton any arrangement providing for
reparations from current German
production.
State Department officials indi-
Gated today that this policy question
still is unsettled, although Gen. Clay
has authority to sound out his Soviet
colleagues to determine if such an
inducement might provide basis
for agreement on economic unifica-
ton.
These officials said Gen. Clay's
informal talks have not reached the
stage where he has reported any
definite Russian offer, but that they
understood there have been indica-
tions of agreement In principle.
No negotiations beyond the ex-
ploratory stage are expected until
Secretary Of State Byrnes and the
Russian, British and French Foreign
Ministers get down to their sched-
uled discussion of German affairs in
New York next month.
The United States has been op-
posed to the collection of repara-
tions from current German produc-
ton, but in his speech at Stuttgart,
Germany, last month Secretary
Byrnes left open the question Of a
compromise along the lines being
discussed by Gen. Clay.
