Continued From First Page.

The latter group indicated the be-
lief that Mr.. Lewis would not re-
ceive full support from his union
II he chose to fight and possibly
call on a strike on the issue. They
argued the miners would support
strike for higher pay, but not
for welfare fund. ..
Insists on Settlement First.
Mr.. Lewis told the operators he
was sincere in his demand which he
first made last year, for an assess
ment against the operators this year,
and that they had to settle the well
fare and mine safety issues in one
form or another before discussing
other proposals before the confer
ence.
There was the possibility that an
operator compromise might take the
form OF ear-marking a certain por-
ton of the wage increase the miners
appear certain to get in their new
contract for welfare purposes. Such
Ia plan would follow the lead set
in the clothing and other industries
Operators who favored complete
rejection of the Lewis demand,
pointed out that to give ground this
year would create an opening where
by Mr.. Lewis could make even
greater gains when the mine con-
tract comes up for renewal next
time.
Concerned Over Labor Bill.
Mr.. Lewis has indicated he would
terminate the present mine contract
at midnight March 81. To do this
he would serve five-day termination
notice next Wednesday. This leaves
only 10 days in which to draft a new
agreement without CHANGING strike.
Some of the operators said Mr..
Lewis had evidenced concern that
Congress might push through dras-
tic labor legislation, like the original
Case bill, should there be a mine
strike this year. This has the effect
OF tempering his demands and gives
the operators some strength in their
hands. Congress passed the Smith
Connally Act in 1943 after the mines
had been closed twice by strikes.
The Wage Sterilization Board also
gave automatic approval to certain
types of wage increases granted in
connection with incentive pay sys-
TENS, merit and bonus schedules,
and job evaluation plans.
The rulings were designed to speed
up Government wage-price ma
chinery and permit industry to OBJ
tain faster OPA action on requests
for price advances.

CHUNGKING, Jan. 26 (cDN
The life of w. H. Donald, trusted
former adviser of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, probably was saved
by the mercy trip to Tahiti ar
ranged by Gen. Marshall, President
Truman's special envoy here.
A fortnight ago Chang told Gen
Marshall that Donald was lying dam

pete, adding that he and Mime.
Chang wondered whether Gen,
Marshall could take steps to rescue
the Australian. Gen. Marshall ra-
diced Admiral Raymond A. Spru-
ance, commander of the 5th Fleet
who arranged for the Navy to take
Donald, reportedly by plane, to Hon
olulu, where he is now hospitalized
Due to pleurisy which he caught
while confined in a japanese prison

VA Regional Office Delays
Move 10 New Quarters

The Veterans Administration re-
gional Office is taking over addi-
tional space in the Municipal Cen
ter instead of moving out, Howard
F. Dickensheets, Washington re-
gional manager, announced today.
Mr. Dickensheets emphasized that
acquisition of the additional 27,000
square feet of Office space was tenn
porary. The Washington Office is
scheduled to take over the 11-f1oor
Social Security Building at 1925 H
street NV. when it is vacated, but
no date has been set for the move.
The regional manager said he had
hoped that all the space the regional
Office was using in the Municipal
Center could be turned back to the
District government at this time,
but the increasing work load and
the indef1niteness of the move to the
Social Security Building has delayed
the relinquishing of the space in the
center"

Hess III Attorney

Despite Dismissal
By the Associated Press.

NUREMBERG, Jan. 26.-Rudolf
Hess attorney, disobeying the writ
ten order of his eccentric client, was
at work in a hospital ward today
preparing a case that might save the
former deputy fuehrer's life.
Thin, scholarly Gunther Won
Rohrscheidt broke one of his ankles
in an accidental fall last Monday
and received his dismissal by Hess
at almost the same time.
AS soon as the doctors had set the
difficult fracture and informed Won
Rohrscheidt that he would be bed
fast up to four weeks, the veteran
German attorney organized a legal
office in the hospital, brought in his
two secretaries, sent to the Palace of
Justice daily for catalogued docu-
ments and pored over the official
transcript of each session Of the In
ternational Military Tribunal he
had missed.
The tribunal has withheld a deci.
sion on Hess later formal request
that he be allowed to conduct his
defense alone. None of the attorneys
defending the 81 other Nazi wal
criminals, however. considers it likely
that the Allied judges will humol
Hess to such an extent.

To Yield Emergency

BY GEORGE WELLER,
Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.

Chicago Daily News.
CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 26.-
1nterparty negotiations toward a
coalition government received favor
able impetus tonight when the Kuo-
mintang agreed to surrender Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek's emerg-
ency powers to the all-state council
and allowed three -fifths vote to
override Gen Chiang's veto.
On the other side, the Communists
and Democratic League representa-
fives agreed to the Kuomintang
having 20 of the state councils 40
seats.
These concessions disposed of at
least three of five issues that have
engrossed the Chungking delibera-
tlons over construction of a modern
lied Chinese republic.
Size of State Council,
First question on the agenda was
the size of the projected state coun-
Gil The Communists accepted Sun
Fos 36-member plan, but wanted the
Kuomintang restricted to II seats.
The Kuomintang, on the other hand,
wanted 18
AS compromise, the Kuomintang
suggested new 40-seat plan, with
themselves getting 20 and the other
half divided between the Commu-
nlsts and the seven minor parties.

whether the 40-seat plan can be con-
sidered.
Second question is who should Sc
iect members? The Kuomintang
says Gen. Chang as President of
China should name them, but they
must also be approved by the Kuo-
mintang party, which, during the
past period of political tutelage," +"
has been China's supreme authority.
The Communists, backed here and
in all questions by six of the seven
minor parties comprising the Demo-
cratic League, say Kuomintang ap-
proval is an anachronism under de-
mocracy, and that it should be
tossed overheard.
Power to Select Officials.
Third question is whether the
state council or it's president, Gen.
Chang, should have the power to
select government officials. The
Communicated opposition says all
members should vote; Kuomintang-
ers say Gen. Chang alone merits the
right of selection.
Fourth question was how many
votes should be required in order to
