HIGHWAY STARTER SHOP

The Golf Club really wants to
construct a starter shop facing
directly on the Highway and this
is most splendid. English-type
high roof houses, with circular
driveway in and out, usually
grace the entrances to most golf
clubs throughout the country and
this could be a fine addition to
the local course. Funds are a
handicap along this thought,
however.

POLICY COMMISSION

government. The city manager
is responsible for getting out the
work and keeping within the
budget but when a policy" ques-
ton along certain line of rea-
Soning comes up City Manager
King presents it to the Commits
sion along with his recommends
tons and then it is up to the city
fathers how they wish to shape
the city'S course. Thus a weak

strong city manager shoulders
the policy and does the best he
can with it if it is not too good.

Truman Buys First
Sheet Of New STAMPS

President Truman yesterday pur-
chased the first new sheet of the
honorable discharge emblem COM
memorative stamps at White
House ceremony in which the heads
of the armed forces took part.
The President received the stamps
from Postmaster General Hannegan
and smilingly commented that they
were going to cost him about $3.50. u
He declared that nothing could be
finer in mans career than to
have an honorable discharge for
service to his country"
The President said that his own
discharge from the World War is
framed so that both sides may be
read.
Others who received sheets of
stamps were Secretary of War
Patterson, Secretary of the Navy
Forestal, Gen. Carl A. Spaatz head
of the Army Air Forces; Fleet
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, chef
of naval operations; Gen. A. A.
Vandegrift, head of the Marine
corps, ana Fleet Admiral Ernest
J. King, former chef of naval oper-
ations.
When Gen. Vandegrift stepped up
for his stamps President Truman
said he wanted to assure him that
the Marine Corps is not going to be
abolished-the reference being to the
generals fear expressed at a Con-
gressional hearing that merger of
the armed forces would doom the
corps.
-Four servicemen also received
stamps from the President. They
were Army Sergt. Michael Pulice,
Navy Chief Electricians Mate
Charles V. Claybourn, Sergt Douglas
T. Jacobson of the Marines and
Machinist's Mate Paul Leeman Clark

Later, the operators designated
Charles O'Neil as their representa-
tive.
John r. Steelman, special assist
ant to the President, also was in
Mr.. Trumans office much of the
morning.
Cabinet members refused to COM
ment on what was discussed at to-
days session, but the coal crisis pre-
sumably was the prime subject
The White House earlier threw
down one report that the President
has proposed settlement on the
basis of an 1872 cents an hour wage
increase and establishment of a
miners welfare fund financed by
operators.
Report Shown to Snyder.
While the cabinet was meeting,
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters he had shown
this report. carried by the Detroit
News, to Reconversion Director
Snyder. Blair Moody, Washington
correspondent of the Detroit paper
had quoted Mr.. Snyder in the story.
Mr.. Ross said that Mr.. Snyder had
authorized him Ito say it has no
foundation whatever in fact"
The neWspe per said the plan was
to have the welfare fund financed
by the operators on a percentage
of pay rolls basis and managed by
a board of trustees consisting of
representatives of labor, manage
ment and the public.
The story quoted MI Snyder as
saying that payments to the fund
by the operators will be regarded
by OPA as legitimate cost of the
business in considering applications
for price increase in coal.
Subsequently, the News revised its
story to say it was learned the pro-
posal had been made, without at
tributing its information to Mr..
Snyder. The revised story did quote
Mr.. Snyder, however. as saying that
a wage increase higher than 1872
cents hourly would not be the basis
of settlement. The News ADDED
that it was indicated" Mr.. Lewis
would be given an additional grant
in the form of a welfare fund.
Federal officials today are reluct-
ant to assume the responsibility of
negotiating Federal agreement
with the miners especially in view of
the highly controversial Lewis de-
mand for a union health and well
fare fund.
However, many officials regard
seizure and Government negotiation
as the only out in the present situa-
tionn and they are prepared to give
ground on the welfare fund. They
are unalterably opposed to union
administration of the fund. There
we're signs Mr.. Lewis would be will
ing to negotiate that point.
Small Proposes Seizure.
Civilian Production Administrator
John D. Small called for Federal
seizure of the mines before the
.country's economy is completely
paralyzed. Mr.. Small had no sug-
gestion as to what action should
be taken after seizure, however and
Government labor officials were
quick to emphasize that point.
Mayor Edward Kelly of Chicago
conferred with Mr.. Truman late yes.
terday and afterward told newsmer
Mr.. Truman was in militant
mood. He indicated that the Pres.
ident had plan for ending the
strike.
Federal labor officials, meantime
said MIR. Truman erred when he tolc
neWsmen yesterday that Mr.. Lewis
demand for welfare royalty on Goa
was contrary to provision of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act. The
law, they said, would prohibit pay.

The action followed a meeting of
5th Naval District and Vepco off,

ships and aircraft carriers could
supply power for the Norfolk ship
yard which, in turn, would supply
the communities of Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Newport News
A Navy spokesman said destroyer

power might come up the Potomac

Pepco officials said they had not
considered the use OF ships and did
not know how practical the opera
ton would be. In the event OF
more serious situation here every
avenue of relief" will be considered
the officials added.
Shipments Aid Needs.
One reason the freight embargo
will not be Immediately felt is that
up to last midnight shipments, were
coming through as usual and should
take care of most needs for a week
or 10 days, American Association of
Railroads officials said
Even before the embargo, freight
shipments were about IS per cent
below those of year ago. One rea-
son, paradoxically, was cessation of
coal shipments, one of the railroads
biggest freight items. The current
clothing shortage will be aggravated
because clothing is not on the es-
sential list.
The embargo will have no serious
effects on the Washington Gas
Eight Co., but it probably will delay
or prevent shipment of pipe and ap-
pliances, said Howard B. Noyes,
general superintendent.
Since the gas company uses very
little coal in manufacture of its
product, the CPA order for COM
panies to begin rationing supplies
to customers was not expected to
affect the District.
