 Pre-Cool Strike
 Levels NeoFed
 By Industries

Pittsburgh, Dec. l0.-(Up)-Soft coal production climbed toward pre- strike levels today.
 Nearly all 100000 mine workers returned to the pits on the second day of the unions truce with the Government.
 Tn western Pennsylvania, several operators reported absenteeism ''un- usually low"
 Coal>dependent industries, which last week furloughed more than 460,000 workers, were recovering rapidly.
 Carnegie Illinois Steel Corporation recalled 1000 of 10000 furloughed workers in the Pittsburgh-Y -Youngs- town area. Eleven last furnaces and IT open hearth steel furnaces were back in productid&.
 At Detroit, the automobile indus try, which had laid off more than 10000 workers, was back to nor- nal.
 The American Iron & Steel Insti- ute estimated that steel ingot pro- duction would reach 69.8 percent of theoretical capacity this week, a rise of nine points over last week. The pre-strike rate was 9i.4 percent.
 Tn Harlan County, Ky, where only one of the 47 government-operated mines was able to produce yester- day. the miners were returning.
 Tn Illinois, virtually all miners were back in the pits.
 Railroad workers, hard hit by the Governments coal-conserving em- bargo restrictions, were called bar : to their jobs.
 U. s. Steel reported that it's Chi- cago mills, which had been sched- uled to operate at only 70 percent of capacity this week, would reach 78 percent. More than i7,000 em- ployes were back.
 Coal was beginning to trickle into fuel-starved Denver and dealers predicted a normal supply by the first of the week.

or by veterans organizations were being studied today by several local leaders in veterans affairs. A pro- test to Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin is under consideration.
 With the State Guard having been da,nobilized and with local units of the Connecticut National Guard still without uniforms or rifles, firing squads for military funerals must now come here from out of town. According to the complaints, the Adjutant-G Generals Office at Hartford will provide the squads only if guaranteed payment of transportation and meals for the men.
 One local veterans group, in seeking to make arrangements for the funeral of a naval veteran, was allegedly told that 1t would have to pay for the transportation and meals of naval militiamen from New London. In the funerals of former Army men, the firing squads come from the National Guard at Hartford
 Its not the expense alone though it's a sizable amount, that We object to-" said one veterans leader. There are also such ques- tions as liability in case of auto- mobile accident. And we object in principle to the whole idea. It doesn't seem right that the family of man who fought for his coun- try should have to pay out money

in connection with . military es- court at his funeral, or that a vet erans' organization should be charg- ed for it."
 One veteran today desplayed a booklet issued by the State of Con- necticut on veterans affairs. He pointed out that 1t says the Adju- tant General is required by law to provide Q firing squad for a deceas- ed servieeman when so requested by the commander of any veterans or- ganization. No mention is mode of any charges or fees for expenses.
 There must have also been com plaints that the firing squads from out of town have, in some funerals here, appeared only at the ceme- tery, making no appearance at the start of the funeral or at the church.
 In the past. firing sauads at mili- tary funerals came from the local National Guard. During the war they were provided by the State Guard. But in the hiatus between deactivation of the State Guard and the equipping of the National Guard, the firing squads must come from out of town.
 Guardsmen or naval militia tak- ing part in military funerals are paid by the State. but the assess ments for the mems expenses are l the reason for the local complaints.

for quiet places where they can take 1t easy and stay away from a tele- phone.
 Many of them have stayed on thiS long because they felt it was their duty. But with the post-war reor. ganization period rapidly drawing to an end, many of them feel they have done their duty and can retire.
 If Eisenhower retires, his logical successor according to War De- partment sources, would be Gen. Omar N. Bradley, now Veterans Administrator. But if Bradley also should choose to retire soon, many look with favor on Lt.-Gen. J. Law ton Collins, now War Department chief of public relations who served brilliantly during the war.
 Collins commanded the 18th Division on Quadalcanal and the Seventh Corps that landed on the Normandy beaches on ID" Day and captured Cheroourg.

hour were expected to be the CIO. goal In most basic industries.
 The executive board of the United Automobile Workers (C.TO) ex- pected to draft it's wage demands for forthcoming negotiations in e meeting at New York today.
 Opens Case Tomorrow
 The United steel workers, head cd by CI.O. President Philip Mur- ray will begin putting their case before the public tomorrow when they unveii an economic report on the steel industry. 1s was prepared by Robert NatiIan, former deputy director of the Offlce of War mos bilization.
 The three largest CI.o. afiliates the United Electrical Workers, the JAW. and US.w.-will hold a joint strategy meeting at Pittsburgh next Monday. US.W. leaders will wage demands during the following days.
 Meanwhile, there was no sign of a break in Lewis fight to win a new contract for his United Mine Work CTS (A.FLD, who returned to work yesterday after an le-day walkout.
 The Supreme Court agreed yester- day to accept jurisdiction of the U.M.W.-Lewis contempt case to hear arguments on it Jan. IA. Lewis was fined $i0.OO0 and the union s3,500.- 900 for ignoring @ court order to call oil the strike in Government operated mines.
 Steelers May Pace Labor
 In the forthcoming C.IO. baH- gaining. it appeared likely that the steel workers would set the pace as they did last year when the IS i-2 cent hourly wage increase establish ed a general wage pattern for in- dustry. The present steel contract, signed last Winter after a three week strike. expires Feb. IS.
 The c.IO. unions were expected to shoot for wage increases of about 25 cents an hour throughout the basic industries. The United rubber Workers (C.IO) already had draft ed demands calling for raises of 26 cents an hour.
 The steel workers also will be pressing again for the guaranteed annual wage plan which they first served on the steel industry in i94z.

War Department sources said today.
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff who is now in Florida for treatment of an old arm ale ment, tops the reported list of those who would like to retire. Another was said to be Gen. Jacob L. Dev- CTS, 5o, commander of Army Ground Forces.
 Although the 66-year-old Esen- hover will not reach the statutory retirement age until Oct. 3i, 1854, he is eligible to retire at any time he chooses under a l935 act Of Congress.
 This law states that an officer who served prior to Nov. 12, 1918 may retire on his own application at 75 percent of his base pay in his permanent grade. Eisenhower holds the permanent five-star grade of general of the Armies.
 The generals who fought the war in high commands admit they are tired. They are beginning to long

Some good lawyers, including Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D.-Mont.), bee lieved the court may find for Lewis. Others, including Donald B. Rich- berg, are confident the injunction and contempt sentences will be slls- tained. Richberg's opinion is size nificant because he was one of sev- eral men who helped draft the Norris-LaG Guardia Anti-Iniunction Bill which was enacted in le32. Lewis contends that act protected him against the injunction which broke his strike.
 In its brief to sta1e Supreme Court the Government insisted that the a1ti-injunction act did not extend to the Federal Government. The brief cited congressional discussion when the act was pending and the statements of its sponsors that the limitations raised against granting of injunctions in labor dispute would ot extend to the government.
 Lews' lawyers contend that Judge T. Alan Goldsborough's court lacked jurisdiction to issue the temporary strike restraining order. It was for ignoring the order that Lewis and hs unon were found guilty of civil and crimnal contempt. The Govern n1ent contends that even though Lewis may believe Ooldsborough had no authority or jurisdiction to issue the injunction, yet the union and ts president should have obeyed pending final determination of that question.
 The Government argued and Goldsborough held that neither the Norris-LaG Guardia Act nor the Clay ton Act, which also deals with in- functions, was involved in the Lewis case in any way. What the Govern ment asserts emphatically is this:
 There is no legal bar against Fed eral courts exercising powers which are necessary for any one or all of these following objectives:
 1. To prevent irreparable in-
 jury to the public.
 2. To prevent interference
 with the sovereign functions of
 the United States.
 3. To protect the district
 courts jurisdiction pending c
 judicial determination of the
 questions of law involved.
 The direct question before the Supreme Court will be whether the s3 ,5OO.O0O fine against the union and the sI0,0O0 fine against Lewis shall be sustained. The court, if Il desires, may also rule specifically whether the Norris-LaGalar Act extends to injunctions sought by the Government.

 SoIon Claims

Washington, Dec. 10 - (UP) - Sen. Carl A. Hatch. (D., N. MO, to- day accused Senate Republicans of violating the purpose of the Con- gressional streamlining bill by claiming extra strength on four Senate committees.
 Republican leaders insisted their plan was reasonable, saying they had practically no choice" under the law revising Senate committee arrangements in the new Congress.
 The Reorganization Act cuts the number of standing Senate com mittees from B to IS, limits each senator to membership on two com- mittees, and allows only l3 mem bers on all but the 2l-man appro- priations committee. There will be 5i Republicans and 45 Democrats in the Senate when the S0th Congress meets Jan. 3.
 Law TranSgressed
 The Senate Republican leadership decided yesterday they wanted IF Republicans to nine Democrats on Appropriations and eight Republi- cans to five Democrats on the Labor. Rules and Public Lands con- mittees.
 They would be satisfied with 7-6 ration on the other Il commit tees.
 Hatch said the purpose of the Reorganization Act was to pro vide. fairer distribution of commit tee places without too much regard for party politics"
 Anything that transgresses that is a violation of the purpose of the law, if not it's letter" he told re- porters.
 Rarxley Must Agree First
 Sent. Robert A. Taft, (R., O., said there is nothing else the Re- publicans can do and stay within the laws provision that no senator can serve on more than two conn mittees. He pointed out that the COP. proposal amounts to an even 90 committee places for the 45 Dem ocratic Senators.
 The COP. proposal Is subject to agreement of Sen. Alben w. Bark ley. O., KyO. who will continue as Democratic leader in the new Con- gress.
 Sen. Edward V. Robertson. (R., Wyo), appeared before the two- hour closed meeting to protest that newcomers from the west will get nothing If strict seniority is follow ed.
