Lewis Will Complete
Presentation Of Coal
Contract Case Today
Kennedy Tells PorIey
Stable U. S. Economy
Rests on Mine Industry
By jones Y. Newton

JOnn l.. Lewis prepared tC
close his United Mine Workers
case for higher wages, a health
and welfare fund and other i'm
proved working conditions this
afternoon after presenting a hall
dozen additional witnesses in
support of his new contract pro-
posalS.
Thomas Kennedy, UNIV secretary
land treasurer, told the National
Bituminous Coal Wage Conference
at the Snoreham Hotel that the sta
BILE economy in the United States
depended on stabilization of the coal
industry. He said the only way to
stabilize the industry and make sure
there would be a sufficient work
force to meet the demands for coal
was by granting higher wages and
providing adequate protection for
the workers health.
John OLeary, union vice presi-
dent, also argued for a mine work
ers' health and welfare fund. He
|said likewise that the coal operators
had to grant Mr.. Lewis demand for
unionization of mine supervisory
employees, adding that if the fore
men were not taken into the UNIV
they would join some other union.
Operators to Reply.
The coal operators still have not
presented their answer to Mr..
Lewis charges and their side of the
case. They probably will have an
opportunity, late today or tomorrow.
Mr.. Lewis, yet to tip his hand as
to what his specific wage and other
demands will be, consumed most of
the first three days of the confer
ence open forum presenting evidence
to support his proposal for the
health and welfare" fund, more
adequate compensation for injured
miners and improved safety laws.
Witness after witness was pre-
sented by the UNIV, citing scores of
cases alleging unsatisfactory work
and health conditions about the
mines. inadequate safety measures.
Mr.. Lewis yesterday summed up that
part Of the case by accusing the op-
orators of killing $4,000 miners the
last IA years and manning more than
a million others. He said the indus
try "extorted" $60,0000o0 q year
from workers. nav enVelOpeS f0r

Snyder Expects Labor Peace.
Meanwhile, Reconversion Director
Snyder took cognizance of the coal
dispute, saying that now that sew
eral of the biggest strikes have end
ed ''the one hurdle remaining in
reconversion is early, amicable set
tlement of labor contracts in the
coal industry" He said he was con-
fident that the country can settle
down and look forward to produc-
ton moving ahead at high speed.
Mr.. Snyder, along with Economic
Sterilization Director Chester
Bowles and Secretary of Commerce
Wallace, was queried by the Asso-
ciated Press about prospects Of in
terrupted production. Mr.. Bowles
said he believed the mass of work.

Truman Expects Turn
Toward Improvement
In Russian Situation
Refuses to Express
Opinion on Clash by
Churchill and StuIin

President Truman is not
alarmed by the troubled inter
national picture and expects a
turn for the better.
Giving noncommittal answers for
the most part to series of questions
on foreign affairs propounded at a
news conference late yesterday, Mr..
Truman responded firmly II do not, Z"
when asked If he considered the
present situation as fraught with
danger as many people believe.
Reverting later to the same sub
ject, he asked a reporter if it would
help any If he said Il am not
alarmed" by the tension growing
out of Russia's moves in Iran.
I'm sure we will work out of it.
the President said, giving permission
for direct quotation of his remarks.
Silent on Churchill-S Stain Debate.
Responding to another query, Mr..
Truman refused to pass judgment on
the "proprietyo of the long -distance
debate former Prime Minister
Churchill is conducting with Premier
Stain, as the outgrowth of the
British war leaders attack on Rus
sia in his Fulton speech, and the
retahatory ''lie" charge hurled by
the Soviet leader.
Bolstering his expression of op-
timism over the ultimate outcome
Of the current situation, Mr.. Tru-
man told another questioner he ex-
pected the United Nations Security
Council to meet in New York next
week with full attendance. He said
he had no reason to anticipate there
would be absentees, his questioner
presumably having in mind the pos
sibility that Russia might not be
represented. The Soviet Embassy
said yesterday that Ambassador
Gromyko would represent the
Soviet.
In the meantime, however, dip
lomatic officials remained appre-
hensive about Russia's ultimate in
tentions in Iran, but two important
figures on Capitol Hill echoed
President Truman's optimism.
Barkley Still Optimistic.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
commented, at has been my opin-
ion all along that the situation
isn't as bad as the headlines would
seem to indicate"
And Senator Pepper, Democrat.
Of Alabama told reporters, Il think
entirely too much emphasis has
been laid on the bad side of the
international situation. think
people who do so are rendering a
public disservice.
There is no more reason for
Russia and the United States to
go to war than there would be for
Florida to declare war on Georgia. !"
Sensitive to the current drift of
foreign affairs, the House leadership
sought quietly, meanwhile, to stem
the flood Of members speeches rap
ping Russia and other wartime Al
lies. The time is not appropriate.
one of these leaders told a reporter
privately, for ".Russia-baiting."
Churchill Answer Expected,
Mr.. Churchill is expected to say
something about Premier Stalins
blast at him in tonight,s speech in
New York and it was with this in
mind that reporter asked Mr..
Truman for his views on the pro
priety" of the former Prime Min
ister's tactics.
Jokingly avoiding comment also
on the Stain statement, Mr.. Tru--
man said he could not read Russian
and that the translation of Premier
Stains remarks might have been
wrong.

Ahmedi said the Russian garrison

times as many Russians in Azerbai-

He termed the reported concen-
tration OF troops and equipment a
definite threat to Teheran" and
added that all necessary precautions
were being taken to meet it.
The general said Iranians would
not go out to meet the Russians
or even erect Notifications outside

Truman Still Supports
Civilian Atom Control
With Military Advice
Divergent interpretations
Of Presidents Stund
Moy Hamper Legislation
BY the Associated Press

The congressional path of
atomic energy legislation de-
veloped new bumps today as di-
vergent interpretations sprang
up over President Truman's po-
sition in the civilian-vs.- military
control controversy.
Mr.. Truman steered clear of the
major point at issue-an amend
ment to pending control bill. But
he told his news conference yes
terday he still believes the military
should be consulted, with primary
control left to a civilian group di.
rectly responsible to him.
He referred reporters to six.
week-old letter to clear up what
he termed a lack of clear under.
standing on the matter.
The Chief Executive had beer
asked specifically about action o1
the Senate's Special Atomic Com.
mittee, which earlier in the week
outvoted Chairman McMahan, II
to l, to accept an amendment by
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, o1
Michigan. This would set up 8
military board to consult with ano
advise the civilian control body Sen.
ator Mcmahon favors. ANY dis
agreements would be taken to the
White House for decision.
Should Not Hamper Military.
In saying he felt a civilian COM
mission, responsible to him, should
have primary control, Mr.. Truman
said this should in no way hamper
the military because the President
is commander-in-chief of the
armed forces and hence charged
with national security.
Later Senator Mcmahon, who has
consistently opposed military con-
troll, isued a statement saying: 81
am pleased that the President has
reiterated his support of the vital
principle that civilians must con-
troll atomic energy. OF course, as
the President suggests, the COM
mission should consult and advise
with the military on military appli-
cations of atomic energy. And this
is as far as any civilian commission
should be required to go.
'The military is noted for its re-
dictionary position in the field OF
scientific research and development
It is because am concerned
about our Nations security, as well
as the development for peaceful
purposes of atomic energy, that j
want civilians to control this force
unhindered by the military"
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, second ranking member
OF the Military Affairs Committee
interpreted the Presidents state
ment as an Endorsement of the Van
denberg amendment. Senator Van
denberg himself did not go that far,
observing that he could not know
exactly what was in the Presidents
mind" But he added to a reporter:

As War Of Nerves
Criticism Of Policy

To Note Is Received
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 15.-Britain
considers that the reported Rus
sian troop movements in Iran
are a part of a war of nerves
and attributes the tension to the
Soviet breach Of the agreement
to withdraw from the country by
last March 2, qualified diplomatic
sources reported today.
These sources said the British
take the position that one of the
consequences of Soviet troops re-
manning in Iran is that any reports
OF troop movements inevitably give
rise to every kind of anxiety.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
most of the governments informa-
ton on troop movements came from
the United States State Department
Reports by British representa-
tives, he said, related primarily to
the Tabriz district. Some troops
he said, had been observed going
northwest from Tabriz toward a
fork where they might either take
the road toward the Turkish from
tier or the one toward Russia
British reports had not placed them
beyond the fork, although dis
patches from Teheran yesterday
said they had taken the fork toward
Turkey.
Conclusions Impossible.
A second body of troops, the
spokesman said, was reported BY
British representatives to have left
Tabriz toward Teheran, but "the
capital is a long way down the road
thus it is impossible to draw any
conclusion"
"All I can say" he concluded
SIS that Russian troops are in Irar
and they should not be there"
He said Britain would be unable
to judge whether Soviet policy il
the Middle East is aggressive or de
fensive until reply is received
from the British note to MOSCOW
