Lions, Beaten by Pics,
Out 10 Regain Lead
In Baltimore TIFF

Knocked out Of the lead In the
Eastern Hockey League playoffs
with a ST. walloping by the Boston
Olympics last night In U1ine Arena,
the Washington Lions may be back
in the top spot before this evening
Is over.
Boston, now on top with eight
points, will be idle but the Lions In
wade Baltimore to take on q Clipper
crew that has lost three straight and
figures to have little chance against
the improved Washington sextet. A
win over Baltimore would boost the
Lions point total to nine.
Baltimore, in fact, could be Wash
ington's stepping stone to the title.
Three games with the apparently
hapless Clippers remain on the
Lions playof schedule, while Phila-
delphia, beaten SO by the locals last
week, will be played twice. New
York, tied, A. and defeated, 10, by
the Lions, Is listed for one more
match and clash with Boston
rounds out the schedule.
Oh their showing against the
Olympics last night, the Lions can
mark off that next Boston date as a
loss. The Pics, one of the smooth
est gangs of shotmakers in Eastern
League history, were masters all the
way in avenging last Saturdays AZ
trouncing by the Lions, and appear
to have regained the form that took
them to three straight league cham
pionships.
After a scoreless first period
marked by major penalties melted
out to Washington Nick Phillips
and Boston's Fernie Flamon for
f1sticufing, the break came early in
the middle stanza. When Goal
Judge AL Levy refused to credit a
shot by the Lions Don Webster that
was almost over the red line, Paul
Ronty of the Pics jumped into the
breech to fire two goals that were
but Is seconds apart.
Boston's Pete Babando added two
more in the following frame before
Washington connected for its soli-
tary tally off the stick of Bryan
Robinson at $50. Dutch Delmonte
added another marker for Boston
with five minutes remaining.

Washington, May 13-(UP)-John l.. Lewis United Mine Workers (A.FL.) went back to the soft coal pits today, ending six-week strike that carried the country to the bring of industrial stagnation.
 Lewis waited here for an in-
 dustry move to break the long deadlock in wage negotiations.
 There was a chance-but no
 aSgurance-that a break might
 come today.
 Am estimated 50,O00 miners in Pennsylvania revolted against Lewis order and refused to return to work. but UNIV. district leaders were confident they would be on the job before the end of the week
 Reports from other soft coal
 fields showed the remainder of
 the 100000 striking UNIV.
 members had returned to work.
 Production was expected 50 be
 normal by tomorrow.
 Although Lewis back-to-work order provided only a two-week truce in the strike, it was evident that Government officials from President Truman down would be demanding an agreement which would avert another walkout.

Decisions On Rotioning Expected

Washington, May l3.-(UPl- Former President Herbert Hoover reports personally to President Truman today on his globe-circllng survey of the world famine areas.
 The 71-year old ex-presidents noon conference at the White House came amid fresh talk of eventual food ratiOning in the United States. It may launch week of historic decisions on what the English-speaking na- tiOns will do to meet the pres ent food crisis and the threat of another emergency just as serious next Winter.
 Herbert Morrison, president oi Britain's Cabinet Council, planned to meet with the President immedi- ately after MT. Hoover.
 Economic Stabdli1er Chester BOwles was revealed to be thinking of recommending a re- sumption of food ratiOning i'm the United States. A decision on the problem, however, prob ably will not come until August or September after the Sum- mer harvest Is in, food officials said. A spokesman for BowleS' office reported the Economic Stabilizer feels the American people will favol food rationing "if we fail other wise to meet our commitments tt starving peoples abroad"
 Although MT. Truman and high officials consistently have opposed consumer ratiOning on grounds it would not clip in the present emergeny, they might look upon it more favOrably as
 part of campaign against starvation next year.
 Morrison, who came to Washing ton specifically to discuss the foot situation, said upon his arrival yes terday that the United States ant Britain were in grave danger of los ing the causes for which they fought unless they can meet thu threat of famine.
 He said bluntly the battle was going against us and that unless the tide soon were turned, famine soon would be killing civilians and turning out future Fascists more quick

 Pishevari suddenly requested a re- sumption of negotiations yesterday after making all plans to return empty handed to TabriZ. When Ghavam agreed, Pishevari with drew demands which had blocked earlier efforts at settlement.
 Even as the talks were resumed, the Tabriz radio broadcast inf1ama- tory statements promising to oppose the central government "bayonet for bayonet." It said 5,000,000 Azer- baijani were ready to spill their last drop of blood if a struggle ensued.
 The Azerbaijan negotiations broken down late, last week when Pishevari demanded more conces- sions than Ghavam had included in his seven-point program. Ghavam refused to give more ground. claim. ing the central government would lose all voice in the province if he did.
 The Teheran radio. controlled by Prince Mozaffar Firouz, Ghavam'S official spokesman, yesterday denied Ghavam's statement in United Press interview that refusal of the premier,s seven-point program by the Azerbaijan delegation would re- suit in the use of force.
 Firouz formerly did Ghavam's in- terpreting. but the premier has been using other interpreters re- gently because of many complaints by correspondents against Firouz

Nuremberg, May 13- (UP)- Admiral Gerhardt Wagner, war time chief of German Naval operations, told the war crimes court today that Germany had only 40 submarines when hOsti- lities broke out, and half of them were no good for Atlantic operations.
 Wagner testified for Grand Admiral Karl DOenitz. He presented the thesis that the German Navy was in no shape for war, and the ruthlessness of U-boat warfare developed only from the necessity or countering the superior power of the Allied navies.
 In comparison with Ger many's 40 submarines at the outbreak of war, Wagner testi- fled, the British and French had more than 100 submarines each.
