Merchant Veterans
Here Seek Crews for
Duty in Ship Strike

Members Of the Merchant Marine
veterans Association here foresee
chaos If the maritime unions strike
Saturday and the Navy and the
Coast Guard try to run the mer-
chant fleet.
Coast Guard and Navy men would
have to undergo considerable train
ing before they could man the ships
since the operations of merchant
ships and naval vessels are totally
different, they said.
The association, with so members.
announced following a meeting last
night that it would inaugurate a
drive to recruit for duty during the
strike 600 maritime veterans it esti-
mates are in Washington.
- Services Offered to VISA.
The associat ton has offered its
services to the War Shipping Ad-
mt1stration but has received no as
Eurance they would be accepted.
Post Comdr. Donald w. McKone
said VISA lis putting every one on
q standby basis
VISA has 10000 veterans of the
ma aritime service on its rolls, he re-
ported Mr. McKone added, how
ever, that all of them had to be
union members to sail and some
are now active members OF the CIO
unions threatening to strike He
would not predict how many would
volunteer for strike duty.
Members charged at last nights
meeting in the Municipal Center
that the Governments plans for
running the ships during the strike
appear to be neither we'll laid nor
complete.
Most of the Navy reservists volun-
teering for duty are officers and
many are desk men who don't know
the difference between the bow and
the stern" they agreed. Speakers
pointed out that there is little incen-
tive for a veteran who was a plain
sailor to leave well paying civilian
job.
Strike Called "Untimeiy."
Terming the strike "untimely" and
"unwarranted while the emergency
period continues to exist" Mr.. Nc
Kone said that his organization is
prepared to do whatever President
Truman requests.
The CIO Committee for Maritime
Unity has promised that troop and
relief ships will go through but has
not announced definite plans for
running them, he said
The association decided to seek
the cooperation of the Alumni
Association of Kings Point, the
United State Maritime Academy in
New York, and the alumni of ship
schools in Massachusetts, and Maine.
It also endorsed the House bill TO
create an organized reserve of the
maritime service.

I Convicted in Tennessee
Race Riot Win New Trial
BY The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Tenn, Oct 26.-Two
Negroes convicted Of participating
in racial violence here last Febru-
ary won the right of a new trial
today and it appeared likely the
State would drop its charges against
them.
The defendants, John McKivens,
26, and Robert Gentry, a. were
convicted of attempted murder and
sentenced to not more than 81 years
in prison on October 4 by jury
which acquitted % other Negroes
on similar charges.
Circuit Judge Joe M, Ingram
granted motion for new trial,
declaring he was not satisfied with
the evidence upon which they were
convicted, only 10 minutes after it
was presented to the court this
morning by attorneys for the Ma
tional Association for Advancement
of Colored People. Judge Ingram
presided at the lengthy trial at
nearby Lawrenceburg.
Court attaches said if new trial
Is held it will be during the court
term opening in January at Law
renceburg where the original trial
was transferred on a change OF
venture. Special Assistant Attorney
General Hugh T. Shelton indicated,
however, the State may mol pros the
charges on the ground that no ad-
ditlonal proof is available.

A Nation wide soft coal strike Is
threatened November l in the dis
pute between John L. Lewis and the
Government as to whether the wage
agreement under which the mines
have been operated in Federal hands
since last May can be reopened.
Here is the part of the contract in
dispute:
This agreement between the Sec
retary of the Interior, acting as Coal
Mines Administrator under the au-
thority of Executive Order No. 9728
(the seizure order, dated May 81,
1886, and the United Mine Workers
of America, covers for the period of
Government possession the terms
and conditions of employment in
respect to all mines in Government
possession which were as Of March
81, 1916, subject to the National BIZ
luminous Coal Wage Agreement,
dated April II, 1945.
q. Provisions of National Btu
minous Coal Wage Agreement Pre-
served.
Except as amended and supple
mented herein, this agreement car
ries forward and preserves the terms
and conditions contained in all joint
wage agreements effective April /,
1941 through March 81, 1913, the
supplemental agreement providing
for the six (6) day work week, and
all the various district agreements
executed between the United Mine
Workers and the various Coal Asso-
Citations and Coal Companies (based
upon the aforesaid basic agreemenD
as they existed on March 81, 1943.
and the National Bituminous Coal
Wage Agreement, dated April IL,
1945."
Collisions Position. a..
Navy Capt. N. H. Collision, head
of the Coal Mines Administration
in the Interior Department, took
the following position in reply to
Mr.. Lewis demand that q confer
ence be convened November l to
discuss new agreement:
With respect to your statement
that significant changes in Govern
ment wage policy have occurred,
such changes, if any, provide no
contractual basis requiring negotia-
tions for a revision of the Krug-
Lewis agreement (the wage contract
with the Government).
Your reference to Section Is of
the National Bituminous Coal Wage
Agreement of April IL, 1945, as al
basis for requiring contract negotia-
tlons looking toward a revision OF
the existing agreement is clearly
unwarranted, for a number of rea-
sons. No attempt is made to detail
all these reasons but. among them,
Is the obvious fact that the Krug-
Lewis agreement itself superseded
Section Is of the National Bitumi-
nous Coal Wage agreement. The
Krug-Lewis agreement states that
it covers for the period of Govern
ment possession the terms and con-
ditions of employment in respect to
all mines in Government possess

Second Round Of Talks
Held by Mediator in
.WA Pilots Strike
By the Associoied Press

The pilots strike continued In the
mediation stage yesterday but both
sides kept an anxious eye on other
possible means of ending the pay
dispute which has shut down Trans
World Airline operations since last
Monday.
Frank Douglass, chairman Of the
National Mediation Board, held a
second round of separate talks with
Jack Frye, TWA president, and
David L. Benncke, president OF the
AFL Air Line Pilots Association. The
apparently had not been
able to top the hurdle of pay rates,
first obstacle in the path to settle
ment.
There were persistent reports that
President Trunan's aides were being
urged to recommend that the $4,000
mile system be made a Government
ward to get it back into operation.
1,400 Pilots Out.
The company's 400 pilots are on
strike, and $4,000 other employees in
% States, the District and Is foreign
countries are on furlough without
pay as result. The pilots are ask
ing UP to $l4,244 a year for flying
four -engine planes inside the United
States and an unstated additional
sum for flying international runs.
Their figure is based on flying 73
hours a month.
The company, which increased
pilot pay August 8 in line with the
recommendations of presidential
fact finding board, said the strike
lis costing approximately $1,000, 900
a week in revenue.
Mr.. Frye contends there is no
money for higher pilot pay, and
that the Government has an In
terest In the demands because OF
the provision in law for Federal
support of scheduled air transporta-
ton. Under that clause, he implied,
the taxpayers may have to bear the
burden through higher mail pay, as
is done in the case Of airlines during
their development period.
Strike Closely Watched.
A dozen other airlines which use
four -engine planes are watching
the strike closely, because the TWA
settlement will be an indication OF
demands on them when their con-
tracts come up for renewal.
The top pay figures apply only to
first pilots. The second or co-pllot
usually receives about half OF the
captains pay.
A TWA spokesman said that over
2O-year period, the average time
for advance from second to FIRST
pilot was 80 months, and that IN
the past year the average had
dropped to less than two years.
A co-pilot with four years service
receives a fiat annual pay of s4,873.
The union is asking $3.50 for
four-year second pilot. The COM
pany said it had been checking out
80 co-pilots a month as captains
recently and is behind its schedule.

Pope Plus Disturbed
ByChurch Weakening
In Some Countries
BY the As.eciated Prssx

CASTEL GANDoLFo, Italy, Oct.
26.-rPepe Plus XII,- in a radio adj
drtss strictly religious in nature. de-
clared today that perhaps the
greatest sin in the world today Is
that men have begun to lose their
sense of sin."
He made that observation in q
broadcast from his summer castle
residence directed to the opening
Of the, 18th International 4Congre-.
cation OF the Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine in Boston.
The Pope said he was disturbed
by the weakening Of the church in
countries where the true faith has
hourished for generations, but at
the same time he noted the mag
nif1cent results being achieved by
Catholic missions among the inf
dels throughout the world: 5000, 900
and more receiving instruction in
the faith, almost a half million en-
tering the church each year."
Devitalizing Process Hit.
He declared that the growing
weakness, the devitalizing process
going on in not a few parts of the
church is due chiefly to an ignor-
ance, or at best a very superficial
knowledge of religious truths" and
appealed to the laity ito lend their
valiant cooperation"
The church is menaced not only
from without, ''but also by the in
terror forces of weakness and de-
cline" he said.
Men must be brought to be
conscious of Gods existence, Of
their utter dependence on His
power and love and mercy, and of
their moral obligation to shape
their holy lives according to His
most holy will" the Pope said.
He added that religious instruc-
tions was indispensable not only
for children in Sunday schools and
growing youth in higher classes"
but it should hold place of honor
in college and university curricula." :"
State Not God. Pope Says.
He warned against identifying
God with the state in these words:
God is not some abstract idea
decked out by scholars in alluring
language to catch the adulation of
vain and self-centered men and
women, nor is he to be identified
with the more palpable institution
called the state, which at times
would presume to vaunt itself the
source and end of all mans rights
and duties and liberties.
Before the beginning of all
these things the only true God,
your God. was existing. He tran
scends all, and all that is, derives
its being from Him.
