 Murray was reelected by &C., clamation without opposition.
 Murray accepted election by pledging to carry out the legislation Of the convention and "to meet the issues whatever they may be-"

Two MorshoIs Serve Lewis Court Papers

 Contempt Charges

Washington, Nov. 22-(UP)-Two deputy U. s. marShals served John L. Lewis today with papers order ing him to appear in Federal Court on Monday to answer contempt charges for refusal to call of the national coal strike.
 Service of the papers took place at Lewis sixth floor once in the United Mine Workers (A.FI.) heaquarters building here. Lewis had left the seclusion of his Alex andria, Va, home for the first time in 36 hours.
 Appearing outwardly undisturbed by the threat of Q jail sentence or fine-or both-which hangs over him, the craggy mine union boss greeted photographers amiahly as he arrived at his once but told re- porters ''no comment
 EconOany Depreased
 Neither Lewis nor other UNIV. officials gave any indication as to whether he plans to light the gov- ernment through the courts or whether he may clear himself of contempt changes by calling of the strike.
 Taking no chances, the Govern ment wrapped up plans for power dimouts and other coal-saving measures in preparation for a long battle if Lewis decides to fight 1t out.
 The strike. in its second day, al- ready was depressing the nations economy. Steel mills planned cut backs up to co percent. Railroads reduced service.
 Factories using coal for power or as raw material were conserving their supplies and desperately seek ing emergency allotments from the Solid Fuels Administration.

O9aNNHHF@sANA&aaA
 Washington, Nov. % - (NEA)-Complete world dis armament beyond require ments of the United Nation: police force was recommend ed today by U. s. Secretary oi War Robert P. Patterson iT an exclusive interview with NEA Service.
 Even small arms-shoulder weap- ons and machine guns which have been excluded from most disarma- ment plans in the past--would bt subject to limitation under Secre- tary Patterson's proposal.
 This is the most drastic scheme for eventual world disarmament yet put forward by any responsible official of any government.
 Goes One Better
 Patterson endorsed the original disarmament proposals made by Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and the U. s. Delegate to the United Nstions, Sen. Warren R. Austin. Then Patterson went them all one better:
 If we disarm to cut out atomic bombs and heavy bombers. we must also cut out all other weapons" Asserting that most of the dis- armament ideas advanced so far have sought to end mass destruc- tion and the wanton killing of civilian populations by bombing, Patterson pointed out that Hitler did most Of his mass destruction Of civilians without the use of these heavy weapons.
 To gain his world reputation as the greatest killer of all times. Hit- Ter used machine guns and small arms and gas chambers to wipe out whole populations. And in his con- centratlon camps he used no weap- ons at all--tust simple starvation.
 'Aii Across the Board"
 What Hitler proved" said the Secretary of War, ~was that huge armies can do as much killing as bombers. Prohibiting the use of the atomic bomb is only one phase of disarmament. There must be disarmament all across the board. " In this connection the Secretary asserted it is useless to work on the formula that a battleShip shall be considered the equivalent of a land army, or that so many foot soldiers shall be considered the equal of one bomber.
 In the Washington Arms Con- ference of the l920's. an effort was made to distinguish between ''of- fensive" and defensive" weapons. Only the so-called offensive wea- pons were to be banned. Secretary Patterson decried this distinction. While the United States has many heavy weapons today, it is really only a second rate power. Other nations have much larger armed forces. Putting a ban on heavy weapons only would there fore mean that other armies could get their guns on their shoulders and march into action much faster than the United States could get l back into production of offensive

Cadets Turn DownAII Bids From Bowls
 Refuse to PIoy
 Fighting Irish
 ln Protest Come

West Point. N. Y. Nov. 22-CUP) I-Armyis football team today turn ed down all bids for post season bowl games with an announcement by Maj.-Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor Academy superintendent, that the season would end with the Navy game Nov. 30.
 Taylor's announcement said that following discussion with the athle- tic council and squad" the team had decided to disband following the service classic.
 Apparently chagrinned over fail- ure to be invited to the Rose Bowl, the team turned down an invitation to play Notre Dame in a special game at Los Angeles Coliseum Dec. p. as well as a bid to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. A bid also purportedly had been received from the Orange Bowl in Miami. Fla.
 The Los Angele Chamber of Commerce had invited Army to a protest bowl" game with Notre Dame after the Rose Bowl was tied up in a much-debated closed shop" contract between the Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Nine.
 Notre Dame tied Army o to o this year after the Cadets had scored 26 consecutive triumphs over a three-year span. Both teams are undefeated, with the Cadets hold ing a record of eight wins and one tie and Notre Dame six victories against the Army deadlock.
 Figured as mythical co-cham- pions, the protest bowl" would have decided the best team in the nation. But Army had hoped for an invitation to the Rose Bowl and refused to settle for anything else after being snubbed.
