device known as a "cheater-cut,"

The classic example of a cheater-

Philadelphian, stood all alone in the
Army's big induction armory here

The explanation was simple.
The freckle-face, red-haired
youth was the only man drafted
into the armed forces yesterday
from an area embracing 16 Eastern
Pennsylvania counties-population:
more than 100000.
Never in the center's history-it
was opened in September, 1940-has
only one selectee been accepted in
one day. In 1943-44-the induction
peak-the daily average exceeded
$50.
Mooney got superservice from

chiatrist and 10 army and civilian

A Senate Judiciary subcommittee

Judge William Clark argue that he
is entitled to regain his job under
the CT Bill of Rights and the Selec-

The committee yesterday delayed
action for at least 10 days on the
nomination of Federal Judge Harry
E. Kalodner of Philadelphia, to fill
Judge Clark's former seat on the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals so
that Judge Clark's counsel might
present his claim.
Judge Clark, an Army officer in
both World Wars, left the Circuit

lieutenant colonel's commission. He
saw long overseas service in the
European theater.

No Adverse Committee Votes.
Discussing the move to outlaw any
possible walkout by Federal workers,
Senator Russell told newsmen there
were no votes against the provision

acknowledged, however, that - it
probably will cause a strong floor
fight although the issue is unlikely
to reach the Senate officially until
the pending labor bill is disposed of.
Senator Pepper described the COM

open hearings before committees
assigned such subjects.

to present the former judges case.
. Mr.. Stryker's letter said that
Judge Clark's claim, now before the
Court of Claims, is based on the as
serted refusal of the late President
Roosevelt to accept Judge Clark's
resignation when he entered the
Army.
He Clark has continued to be
and now is judge and his military
service has not created a vacancy"
Mr.. Stryker's letter said. 1t ac-
knowledged, however, that Attorney
General Clark does not share this
view.
Appointments to the Federal
bench are for life. Judge Clark, a
Republican, was appointed to the
Federal District Court of New Jer-
sey in 1925 by President Coolidge.
He became circuit Judge in 1898.
In 1880 he wrote a widely heralded
opinion that the prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution was i'm
properly ratified and therefore in
valid. The opinion was reversed by

Hard Coal Miners Ask
Welfare Fund Under
Control Of Union
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, May 6.-Establish-
ment of a union-controlled health
and welfare fund-the same demand
which has stymied negotiations in
the soft coal industry - emerged
today as leading issue in the an
thracite contract talks.
The AFL United Mine Workers
made the demand on hard coal op-
orators in a f1ve-page statement
made public yesterday by Thomas
j. Kennedy, UNIV secretary treas
urer, after four previous negotiating
sessions had failed to touch on the
issue.
No specific terms for setting up
the welfare fund were outlined.

Charging the operators with re-
fusing to accept any responsibility
for the physical well-being of their
employees" the statement said %, 7O9
men had been killed in anthracite
mines, according to statistics of the
Pennsylvania State Department of
Mines, and that 221,815, or nearly
three times the number now en-
ployed in the industry, were injured
in the period from 1880 to 1914.
THE answer to these problems"
the statement continued, can be
found only in better wages, greater
safety conditions and health and
welfare fund which the union can
use to provide modern medical and
surgical services, disqualification, in
surance, rehabilitation and economic
protection for its members"

The Senate Banking Committee

The House limited the extension

I'VE are considering such an
amendment as well as several
others which will be disclosed in

crat, of Florida, told reporters.
Senator Pepper is leading the
floor fight against proposals which
he contends would undermine and
destroy" labor. He puts in that
category virtually all the score of
proposed amendments to the Labor
Committees bill providing chiefly
for strengthened Federal media
ton service.
The Senate's week-long preoccu-
patton with labor matters developed
new facet, meanwhile, with a BIZ
partisan move to deny Government
workers the right to belong to a
union that permits strike action.
Such a provision was attached by
the Senate Appropriations Com
mlttee to a bill carrying funds for
the Agriculture Department. Sena-
tors Russell, Democrat, of Georgia,
and Wherry of Nebraska, the Re-
publican whip, told reporters a SIM

They said the action grew out of
the newly formed CIO United Pub
lie Workers of America, which Sen
ator Russell said claimed the right
to strike and at the same time con-
demned the Americans and British
for imperialistic policies"
