President Ever Ready To Return
 Keeps in Close
 Touch With Soft Cool Situation

Key West, Fla, Nov. ie-(UPl- President Truman kept his vacation schedule flexible today. alert for any development in the coal situation that might require his return to the White House.
 By telephone and special courier plane, Mir. Truman personally was guiding every step of the Adminis- tration's fight in the courts to pre- vent a coal shutdown Wednesday midnight. He talked by telephone late yesterday with Secretary Of the Interior J. A. Krug and Attorney General Tom Clark and was expect ed to do So again today.
 The President intended to con- tinue his vacation in this tropical retreat until Saturday as planned. White House press secretary Charles c. Ross said Mir. Truman was in as close touch with coal developments as if he were at the White House and that thus far nothing has oc~ cured to require his return to Wash lngton."
 Federal Troops Call Unknown
 However" Ross added, if any- thing developed which would neces- sitate his presence in the White House, he would leave here izs . moment"
 Ross said that to his knowledge there had been no discussion or post" ing federal troops at the mines Thursday morning.
 Tomorrow. the presidential party will be joined by ReconyeFslon De rector John R. Steelman and Judge John c. Collet.
 Ross said Clark called the Presl- dent yesterday as soon as the court injunction against Lewis had been granted. Later there was a call from Krng, who had been handling Gov. ernment negotiations in the coal case. L
 Deoislon AEeas Earlier
 The decision to seek the intnne- ton was reached at a White House conference with Krlg and Clark early Sunday morning before the President left for Florida.
 Mfr. Truman planned to get in twc swims today, one in the salt wates pool Of the officers Club of the Navy bsubmaFine base where he Is staying and another on the beach of the Of- ticers Club at the AFmys adjacent Fort Taylor.

Whatever JOhn L. Gets, Other Unions May Want

The C.fo. electrical workers. who forced pattern" raises in their inc dustry this year. are going to 'co- ordinate" their drive with those of the JAW. the steel workers. and other major CI.O. units. with the 25-cent raise assumed as the stand- ard.
 The Ci.o. rubber workers want another 26 cents an hour; the c.r.O. textile workers, wf.O got eight cents an hour and a 05-cent minimum in New England this year. are looking for IS cents more.
 Dollar Depreciatlng
 Labor's argument, behind this strategy, boils down to this:
 Bureau of Labor Statistics fig- ures show that the i00-cent dollar of January. ie4i. was worth only 09 cents in September, i946. It is depreciating further. The decrease in buying power during this year alone wsll aggregate from 90 to 25 per cent. T7hie has wiped out the wage gains obtained in the first round Of strikes.
 The current price rise trend by manufacturers Is ample to finance the new wage boosts without fur- ther increasing prices to consumers.
 From across the fence, the ein- ployers' arguments follow this line:
 LAbor's wage gains since January, ieli, have eQualled and in some in- stances surpassed rises in living costs. The workers ability to pay for goods never has been so great, Any further concessions must De covered by corresponding price Ficses and 6 further infiationary climb.
 The way to obtain further pay boosts Is by getting production back into swing so American mass pros duction techniques can cut costs once more.
 Those are the conflicting argu- ments. But the one that may have the most to do with whether the bsgger iel7 strike wave mateTialixes ls within labor itself, experts de- clare. It Is the argument between the headstrong union leaders and the labor chieftains who respect the antl-lahoF threat that moves In with the new Congress.

PIEDMONT SECTOR
WILL AID. BEACH.
Merchants To Use Window
Displays Featuring
Carolina Scense

In a promotional drive to make
North Carolinians 'beach con-
scious'' Carolina Beach has en-
listed the aid of upstate and Pied
mont merchants who will exhibit
displays emphasizing The resort
and 1916 summer beach styles.
Jim Longworth, beach publicity
director, this week concluded an
initial hour through the Piedmont
sector on behalf of Carolina Beach
and it's Merchants association.
Offering a one week all-expense
vacation at the beach for the prize
window of each city, he has re-
cruited more than score of the
regions larger stores to the cam
paign.
Retailers Cooperate
At an early date. he says, re-
tailers in Winston-Salem, Green's
boro, High Point, Burlington, and
Durham, i'll begin featuring
beach resort displays. The drive
is scheduled to continue through
May IS.
Longworth will shortly take the
road again to promote similar pub
Lefty in Charlotte, Raleigh, and
other large cities.
''Now that the wa is over, lots
of folks are planning on making a
vacation of it at the beach," Long
worth learned during his trip
through the central part of the
state.
Coming to Beach
merchants generally were in
agreement that majority of vaca-
tionists from their cities were 60
ing to take in the beaches this
year, hence it wasn't difficult to
arrange this promotional cam
paign," said Longworth.
Longworth, formerly with the
Wave theatre at Carolina Beach,
said the beach community was an
ticipating that the summer season
would be in full swing before the
end of May.
