Lewis Rejects Offer
For Captive Mines
To Work in Strike
Counters Retroactive
Pact Proposal With One
For Seporote Contract
By jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis revealed yeSter-
day that the representative of
the captive" mines in the ma
tional soft coal wage negotia-
.tions here had proposed to him
"a separate arrangement that
would enable mines of the
United States Steel Corp. to con-
tinue operations during the
Nation wide coal strike.
Mr.. Lewis charges of "duplicity'
and disclosure of secret" meeting
with Harry M. Moses. the steel cor
poration's representative in the ne
gotiations. enlivened efforts to draft
a new industry-wide work contract
and end the six-day strike of 400 ,O0t
miners. Mr.. Moses quickly denied
the charges of secrecy and double
dealing and was supported by other
operators.
Virtually no progress toward end
ing the strike was reported yesterday
as the negotiations were recessed
until Tuesday afternoon.
Lewis Asks Separate Pact.
Mr.. Lewis rejected Mr.. Moses pro-
posal that the mine workers return
to hteir jobs in U. S. Steels mines
under an arrangement whereby any
concessions subsequently granted in
national contract would be retro
active to April l. Mr.. Lewis suggested
that Mr. Moses break away from
other operators and negotiate an en-
tirely separate agreement. That was
rejected by Mr.. Moses.
Mr. Lewis called a news confer
ence to tell of the secret" meeting
with Mr.. Moses, which he said the
steel representative had revealed tc
fellow operators at the days nego-
tiating session. The mine leader
said the incident caused IAN obvious
crisis" among the operators, adding
that the recess of wage talks until
Tuesday was indicative of their de-
sire to have time to stabilize thelr
own internal situation
He related that Mr.. Moses came
to his Office last Monday and made
the proposition. Mr.. Lewis said he
rejected it because the mines in the
past had been "defrauded" on re.
troactive pay.

Truman Orders Halt
To Hoarding Of Space
By j. ). Bureaus
Brood Authority Given
Board. in Attempt to
Aid Privote Users

Given sweeping powers by
President Truman to halt space
boarding by Government agen-
cies. the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration plans to start at
once on the campaign which
the President hopes will return
thousands of feet of Office and
apartment space to private
users, PBA officials said last
night.
The Presidents instructions give
PBA much broader authority than
it previously had to force Govern
ment agencies to release commercial
buildings, hotels, apartment houses
and other privately owned structures
now used as Government offices,
even if it involves some inconven-
ience"
PBA Commissioner w. E. Reynolds
said immediate effects may not be
extensive and he did not know at
this time how much space could
be returned, but the purpose would
be to redistribute everything pos
sible.
This is the first time any agency
has had such broad powers for
conserving space. Previously, PBA
has felt itself limited. AS one official
explained, every time PBA tried to
take away a major block of space,
the head of the agency made a
beeline for the White House to pro-
test the reduction.
On one hand, Mr. Reynolds said
the directive will allow PBA to look
into the possibilities of taking space
from such hitherto untouched agen-
cies as the Interior Department. On
the other hand, agencies like the
Veterans Administration and the
Civilian Production Administra-
ton. which need more space, may
get it sooner.
The Presidents order applies te
Government facilities throughout
the country as well as in Washing
ton, which has been suffering from
an acute shortage of commercial
professional office space.
In the directive, President Tru-
man pointed out that the Office

Throngs Cheer
Parade Led by
82d Airborne
Thousands Line Route
Of March for Feature
Of City's Army Day

Heroes of Americas greatest
war marched down Constitution
avenue yesterday in Washing
tons first Army Day parade since
1941-a day marking the 29th
anniversary of Americas en-
trance into World War 1 but one
which also marked the city's
gratitudes for victory in the war
just past.
A crowd variously estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 cheered in
tribute as booted paratroopers of
the 82d Airborne Division formed
a parade vanguard just as they
formed the vanguard of the African,
Sicilian and European invasions.
Altogether, 7,ol9 persons took part
in the march from the Capitol Plaza
down Constitution avenue to
Twenty-third street NV, taking
an hour and five minutes to pass a
given point.
Among the cheering crowd along
the line of march were thousands
Of veterans of all services, among
them many veterans Of the famed
82d. One of them said he had read
somewhere that 1000 battle veter-
ans OF the unit would be in the
parade, but declared there are not
that many left-most of the men I
knew are dead" Boys just out of
training camp were mixed with
overseas veterans to fill out the
ranks of marching men.
Leaders Take Salutes.
Returning salutes as the parade
went by reviewing stand just
south of the White House were
such fighting leaders as 1t. Gen.
Mathew B. Ridgeway, first COM
mander of the 82d; 1t. Gen. Court
ney Hodges, 1st Army commander
at the Battle of the Bulge. and Mai.
Gen. James Gavin. the 82d's pres
ent commander. who had just left
his place at the head of the line of
march.
The 82d Division was selected for
Washington's parade as a repre-
sentative veteran American combat
division. Following the 82d in the
line of march came the colored in
fantrymen of the 25th Regimental
Combat Team which fought through
the Pacific as a part of the 9th
Army.
Then came the 43d Cavalry Re
connaisance Squadron, the outfit
which spearheaded much of the Sd
Army's drive through, France and
Germany-whose - unenviable job
had been that of scouting ahead
to draw enemy fire.
Behind this armored cavalry
came battalion of the 394th Field
Artillery with its los millimeter
howitzers, which saw service in
heavily mined areas along the Sieg-
fried Line Then came a detach-
ment of the 30th Field Artillery
with its gigantic 1855 pulled by
2l1a. .ton trucks, and its tractor
pulled 8-inch guns.
Behind them came the soldiers
of the future-about 1000 members
of the Washington High School
Cadet Corps and an attached COM
pany of girl cadets.
Shortly before pm, when both
sides of Constitution avenue were
lined eight and ten deep with ci-
villains and men in uniform, the
three-platoon honor guard of the
82d Airborne-white helmeted with
white belts and scabbards and sill
ver-shining bayonets in sharp con-
trast to the black bayonets of the
marching men-paraded in front
of the reviewing stand and gave
one of the snappiest exhibits of
military precision seen for many
day.
They drew applause when they
