Eviction Notices At New High In Connecticut

Hartford, May 29. tUP)-State OPA. Director Stanley Crute said today that the number of petitions of landlords for eviction of ten- ants now was at an all-time high because of the housing shortage. and he warned veterans and other home seekers against illegal tricks by interruptions landlords to ob- tain higher than ceiling prices.
 Crute said the vacancy rate of available home rentals is still down to nothing" and that while most landlords have been cooperative, many have not.
 He cited tie-in arrangements as frequent practices to beat the ceil- ing prices. Landlords, he said, force prospective tenants to buy old and useless furniture, Or impose extra charges for janitorial services or fancy rent for the use of the front door or mailbox.'
 All of these practices are illegal and our O.P.A. area rent offices will go after them vigorously if they are reported Crute declared.

Krug, Lewis Find Accord
 Policy Committee
 Summoned Quickly

Washington. May 29 (UP)-The policy cOmmittee of the United Mine Workers (A.F.L.) met today to ratify union-g government. contract that would end the soft coal strike.
 The meeting was called hurriedly, simultaneous with a union announcement at Col umbus, O., that an agreement has been reached. The contract would send the na- tion's 100000 bituminous miners back to work for the Government in the Preferably operated pits. Some miners worked during the two-week truce which expired last Saturday night. Most have re- fused to work since then without contract, even for the Govern ment.
 The White House was reported to be expecting completion of the con- tract today
 District Reports Accord Tn line with these reports was the announcement from UM.W.s Dis trict headquarters, Columbus, that an agreement has been reached and that details now are being worked out.
 UNIV. officials held an unsched- 1 quarters here. One official indicated that the conferees were members of the unions 25O-man policy coGn- mittee, whose meetings usually her aid important decisions.
 Meanwhile, Krug directed Soper- ators of all idle mines east of the Mississippi, except Michigan, to hold all loaded cars at the mines to provide an emergency supply for essential purposes. If work stops at other mines, cars may not be moved from mine tracks after the cessation of mining with Krugs permission.
 There were repeated official re- ports of progress" in the negotia- tions to end the tllree-day strike in the Government-operated mines. And there were unofficial reports of agreement on basic principles.
 Coal Output Very Low
 With coal stocks already low be- cause of the recent six-week mine walkout. the new strike has cut coal production to about 10 percent of normal.
 While the negotiations continued, mine operators waited impatiently for announcement of the Govern ment contract, which was certain to provoke angry protests from some segments of the coal industry.
 It was understood that the con- tract would provide for a five-cent assessment on each ton of coal mined to raise an estimated $25.- 000, ,000 a year for an employe well fare fund. The operators long have fought against a royalty" or pay roll assessment to finance Lewis welfare fund proposal. Some oper- ators reportedly told Government officials, however, that the tonnage royalty was the best method of fl. nancing the fund if one should bf 1 established.

 France Loan

Washington, May 29.-(UP)- France today received a $1 1,370, ,000,- 900 American loan which may en- courage the French people to avoid Communism.
 Announcement of the credit agreement came just four days before the French national elec- tions when the French will decide whether their government will move toward the right or left.
 Assistant Secretary of State Will liam L. Clayton, in statement accompanying announcement of the agreement, denied the loan had any connection with the French elections. Its timing, however, lent weight to recent reports that the American diplomatic officials in Paris had been urging action on the credit before the French peo- pie go to the polls Sunday.
 Terms of the agreement commit ted France to end restrictive trade practices and support the Ameri- can program for freer commerce The program will be placed before the United Nations next year.
 Other provisions included re- ciprocal licensing of former Ger man patents; equal compensation for each others nationals for war damage claims; increased French exports to the United States; ne- gotiations for new commercial treaty, and granting of future credit of $25,000.0O0 to France for the purchase of American merchant ships.
 A temporary limitation also was placed on the number of U. s. mo- ton picture films that can be sent to France.

Ateheson Relays Blame on Reds

Tokyo, May 29-(UP)-George Atcheson, Jr., Gen. Douglas Macs Arthur's personal representative, traded bafbed retorts with Soviet It. Gen. Kuzma. Derevyanko today when Atcheson told the Allied Council an aggressive minority sought to sabotage democracy in Japan. Atcheson did not specify by name the leadership of the mi- nority. He made the charges, however, while attacking the Com munist-led May Day demonstra- tions and questioning the extent of the following claimed by the Communist leaders.
 Derevyanko announced that the Soviet government could not accept an American report on alleged "ir- regularities" in the occupation. He tried to establish four-power com- mission to investigate the 'irregu- larities," but was defeated by a 3-to-1. vote. Britain and China voted with the United States.
 Started on Mild Note
 The angry and often sarcastic exchanges between Atcheson and Derevyanko kept the session on the same plane of Soviet American wrangling as earlier meetings. It had started on a conciliatory note.
 Arguments centered around the May Day letter" an anonymous document submitted to the Council early this month which Atcheson previously called Communist propa- ganda.
 Derevyanko said he thought At cheson had gone too far in a

 Forty representatives of different labor organizations waited several hours to read Barkley a petition urging him to drop the bill. Bark ley, who had come to Boston for speaking engagement, brushed by the demonstrators and said:
 I'm sorry I haven't time to listen. But I'll say this. I intro duced the bill and you certainly can't expect me to oppose it. Any way, it's only temporary measure. The President asked for it-and I am going to support the President in this"

Truman Bill Delay Asked
 Senote Democrats
 Seek WifhdroWoI

Washington, May 29-(UP)-The Senate agreed today to vote at 6 P. M, EDT, on Republican mo- tion to cut out of President Tru- mans emergency labor legislation the provision for drafting workers who strike in Government operated plants.
 Agreement for the vote was re- quested by Democratic Leader AL ben w. Barkley Ky. The Senate gave unanimous consent.
 He indicated he would not go along with some Democratic mem- bers who want to urge President Truman to withdraw his request for emergency labor legislation in view of the rail strike settlement and imminent end of the coal strike.
 The work or draft provision appeared to be doomed. A number of Democrats joined with Republi- cans in opposing it. Administra- ton leaders apparently were not going to be able to marshall suf- ficient votes to keep it in the leg iSlation.
 The argument for withdrawal or delay of the Presidents emergency bill in the Senate was led by a small, well-knit pro-labor bloc. They contended that the emergency bill dealing only with strikes against Government-Seized indus try, was not needed now because:
 1. The rail strike is ended.
 g. The soft coal dispute shows signs of early settlement.
 B. They hoped the maritime strike scheduled for June Is might not materiahze.
 Arguments for withdrawal or l poStponement-as well as veto o1 the Case Bill in its present form were explored at length by the pro- labor bloc in a closed session late yesterday
 Participants included Chairman James E. Murray, D.(-Mont), oi the Senate Labor Committee: and Sens. Ebert D. Thomas, D.-Utah) James M. Mead. D.-N. YD, Robert F. Wagner, D.-N. Y), Hugh Mitch ell. CD.-Wash), Claude Pepper, D.- Fla), and Joseph F. Guffey, O. Pal
 Murray and Mead contended that one-year contracts in most basic industries would provide a breath ing spell for careful consideration of constructive labor legislation" Pepper said he wanted MT T'ru- man to call another labor-manage- ment conference to seek a no-strike pledge and agreement to submit all disputes for at least six months to arbitration if collective bargaining negotiations are unsuccessful.
 "If they could agree on that, then the President should withdraw his emergency request, veto the Case Bill and await a study that could draft new constructive legislation, ? Pepper said
 Although Barkley insisted that the Senate hold night sessions and meet on Memorial Day in an effort to speed the emergency bill, there seemed little prospect of any votes before Friday.

New Haven, May 29-CUP)-The Political Action Committee of the State C.I.O. set up 8 committee to- day to study the possibility of run ming independent candidates in the November election" ,
 This was taken to mean that the labor organization probably would concentrate on the congressional districts, where the labor records of several representatives have been under fire during the past year.
 The committee also voted to con- fer with the Connecticut Citizens Political Action Committee and "other progressive non labor organ izations" before announcing a de- cision. John J.

R0mpoging Susquehonno Brooks Dyke
 Swirling Waters
 Claim Toll of 20
 In Two States
BY UNITED PRESS

The rampaging Susquehanna Ri Yer burst it's bounds in central Penn sylvania again today, giving rise to fears of an increasing casualty toll which already stood at 20 dead or missing in New York and Pennsyl- vania. As emergency workers battled to stem the swirling waters from the worst flood in a decade, the west branch of the Susquehar1la broke through a dyke one mile north of already-inundated Sunbury this morning.
 Breaking through to depth of l5 feet. the river poured additional tons of water into the surrounding countryside and pushed new wa tery barrier toward Sunbury.
 Nine Missing
 A fire alarm signalled the ap- preaching danger at Sudbury and officials feared the water would reach a depth of seven to eight feet in the town.
 There were II known dead and at least nine others missing. It was feared the toll would be greater when reports were received from such places as Wellsboro and Reno- vo, Pa., which have been cut off completely since Monday.
 Wilkes-Barre, Pa, on the north branch of the Susquehanna, appear ed to be winning hard-fought bat tie with the swollen river. Elmer gency workers piled nearly 75,O00 bags of sand since yesterday along the city's dikes, successfully holding back the river as it neared a 34- foot crest expected at noon.
 The rate of rise in the Susque- hanna at Wilkes-Barre was slowing down. Gauges showed a rise of only three inches in the six-hours up to 8 A. M.
 Main River Rises
 As the flood crests moved south along the two branches, which join at Sudbury, the main river cutting through central Pennsylvania was rising steadily.
 At Harrisburg, 50 miles south of Sunbury, the river reached 2O.83 feet at g A. M. The crest ot 26 feet-nine feet above flood stage was expected there late tonight. Railroads and industries suspend ed operations as the flood waters washed out bridges and made fac- tories untenable.
 The Red Cross narshalled disaster crews from a four-state area to combat the flood and an appeal was made for amphibious craft to res cue those trapped in isolated dis tricts.
 New York Area Hard Hit
 Hardest hit was the Corning Chemung area in New York, where three members of family of seven drowned when their boat capsized in the swollen Chemung River.
 Wilkes Barre, Williamsport and dozens of other towns along the Susquehanna also reported extensive damage.
 A crest of 34 feet was expected at Wilkes Barre at noon today and l. 900 emergency workers battled to re- inforce the dyke protecting the city. The workers piled 40,0O0 bags of sand on the dyke yesterday and the Army was rushing 100000 more empty bags to the city.
 Scores of families were evacuated from Lewisburg. Fifty percent o1 the city was under water and all gas service was suspended when the plant was inundated.
