Washington, May 4-UP)-The Gov ernment moved today to restrict domestic soft coal deliveries still more as efforts to end the 34-day strike by 100000 bituminOus miners continued fruitless.
 The Solid Fuels Administration drafted new orders that will tighten deliveries of coal to homes, limit deliv- cries at lake docks and the use of coal for bunkering purposes. They will in yoke President Truman's war powers to prevent private consumers from il- legal confscation of the fuel in transit.

SEA sources said the new orders were drawn to ''lSIug up some holes" in coal dis tributiOn. The step is part of Government program to spread available supplies for the duration of what officials now fear may become the most damaging walkOut in the nation s history.

 Situation Unchanged
 Mike Gaffney of the San Fran cisco police department said prison officials reported mo change in the situation" late last night and that "all activity" had ceased for the night. He intimated that the at- tacks would be renewed at dawn.
 Two guards were dead and at least IA wounded as the fighting continued into the third day. The convicts showed no signs of weak ening. Prison officials believed they had killed in cold blood some of their band who wanted to give up.
 The main cell block of the na- tion's most impregnable prison was riddled with bullets and Shrapnel fragments. Inside, the convicts- seven and possibly as many as 16- fought against overwhelming odds.
 Cornered and apparently with lit- tie or no food and little chance for sleep, the desperate men knew they faced possible prosecution for murder If they come out of the fight alive. The leaders showed no signs of softening under steady pound- ing of Augmentation grenades and phosphorus bombs, interspersed with small arms fire.

that Mr.. Truman made any such
statement.
Il do not pretend to know whether

that ''it can grow still more by con-

said. THAT was 4 new tyranny over

'That is again tyranny: free men
cannot permit economic tyranny,

Therefore, the concept of free

.Un-American Probers
Again Fail 10 GET Files
OF Spanish Relief Unit
BY NewboId Moves, Jr.

The House Committee on IN
American Activities failed today in
its second attempt to procure the
records of the Joint Anti-Fascis.
Refugee Committee, an organization
carrying on relief activity in behalf
Of exiled Spanish Republicans.
Emerging from a closed session of
the House committee, DR.. Edward
K. Barsky, chairman Of the relief
group, told reporters that, although
Representative Rankin, Democrat, Of
Mississippi had tried to make him
answer simply yes or no to a ques-
ton as to whether he had complied
with a committee request that he
produce the books of his organiza-
ton, he CDR. Barsky) had insisted
on his right to read prepared state
ment.
IT told them" DR.. Barsky said,
"that the records are not In my
custody. They are controlled by our
executive board, and it is physically
impossible for me to produce them.
The executive board has so far re-
fused to sanction placing these
books before this committee"
Contempt Citation Mentioned.
Mr.. Rankin said the committee
had taken no action in the matter
today, and would not until another
session was held Friday. There was
speculation that Mr.. Rankin would
propose Friday that DR.. Barsky be
cited for contempt.
DR.. Barsky Is the second official
of the relief organization to become
involved with the Un-American
Committee over the issues of pro-
ducing records. Miss Helen r. Bryan,
the groups executive secretary, was
asked to produce the books on jan
uary "a and when she declined to
do SO the committee announced it
would cite her for contempt.
DR.. Barsky said at press confer
ence last night he understood the
committee had later decided not to
carry out the contempt proceedings
until 1t had heard from him.
Questions Legality of Probe.
The New York surgeon, who says
he became interested in Spanish af-
fairs while he was in charge of in
ternational volunteer hospitals in
Spain during the civil war, stressed
that the Refugee Committee is will
ing to place all its records at the
disposal of an investigator of the
Presidents War Relief Control
Board, the agency which licenses
its activity and to which it submits
quarterly statements of income and
expenses.
Wen tell anybody about our
selves, because we are proud OF what
we do" DR.. Barsky said. I'VE just
don't feel that we are properly sub
ject to investigation by the Com
mittee on Un-American Affairs. 1t
looks to me as though they are
trying to destroy our work.
