The school, which was built to
hold approximately 1926 pupils, Is
now attended by more than 500. The
students In the kindergarten and the
first grade are now attending on
a halliday basis, it was said. Unless

ed out.
Mr.. Smith and George Marshall

The group asked Capt. H. C.
Whitehurst, District Highway Di-
rector, to resurface Bangor and
Camden streets from Thirty sixth
street to Suitland road Sc, and
Austin street from Thirty-sixth to
Bangor streets.
Pending legislation for daylight
savings time in the District next

Recess 10 May IS Set
In Soft Coal Talks;
U. 5. Sees Progress
BY james 7 Newton

Government efforts to initiate new
contract negotiations between John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers and
the soft coal industry failed again
today, but officials reported that
progress was made" in getting the
two sides together.
Mr.. Lewis and his representatives
met with the Nations soft coal op-
oerators and Federal officials for
two hours today at the; Interior
Department As the meeting broke
lup 1t was evident that the split still
existed between Southern operators
and the rest of the industry as to
whether industry wide negotiations
should be carried on with Mr.. Lewis.
Navy Capt. N. H. COLLISION, Fed
eral coal mines administrator, re-
fused to tell reporters what was dis
cussed at the meeting. He said
there was no breakdown in the
conference and I believe progress
has been made toward getting new
contract negotiations untler way"
Capt COLLISION said the operators
and miners will meet again here
May IS. The long recess In the
talks which have been going on
now for over a week is to allow op-
orators chance to attend an Amer
ican Mining Congress session in
Cleveland.
Mr.. Lewis scheduled meeting
of the Unions 250-man Policy
Committee for 8 pm. It was
expected the committee will decide
whether to stick to the miners pol
icy OF bargaining only with the In
dustry as a whole or to hold sep
arate conference with owners out
side OF the Southern Association.
The Southerners believe they can
make more favorable contract with
Mr.. Lewis If their contract talks are
not tied into the whole industry.
The Government Is anxious for
the operators and miners to reach
agreement since the mines, seized
last May, must be returned to the
owners under law by July /. Unless
a settlement is reached by that time
a strike is considered almost certain.

lot Gripping amendments.
Bill Called Far-Reaching.
Mr.. Eaton said the bill is zone
Of the most fundamental and far
reaching enActments ever proposed
In the history of Congress
It poses the supreme issue, = he
said, whether world civilization is
to be one OF freedom or slavery" !"
and:
No amount of wishful thinking
or mawkish sentimentality can dis
guise the grim facts of the commu-
nistic march toward world domina-
tion.
Without mentioning Russia by
name, President Truman proposed
to Congress on March u that Amer
lea step into the path of Commu-
nism In Greece and Turkey.
The adoption by our Government
and the people OF the principles
upon which this proposed foreign
policy is based involves great risks, y
MIR. Eaton said. The rejection of
these principles involves greater
risks.
7 am profoundly convinced that
the safety and security of our Ma
ton and of the world, as well as
the very existence of the United
Nation, depend upon the accept
ance by our Government and people
of the principles underlying this
foreign policy and our resolute de-
Tense and enforcement of those
principles"

| The secretary emphasized that the

concern. He said they were ar
rived at by democratic process"
As for reparations sections to
which opponents have raised objec-
tions, Gen. Marshall said that agree
ments on this issue were reached
through long negotiations.
The committee asked Gen. Mar
shall and Mr.. Byrnes to restate their
reasons for going. ahead with
ratification after Italian American
groups had demanded still further
delay.
Italy Demilitarized.
The Italian treaty demilitarizes
Italy and orders her to leave her
frontier with Yugoslavia unguarded.
Committee members have given no
indication that they are sufhcientiy
swayed by this and other arguments
to pigeonhole the agreement.
The committee bolstered the Pres
ident's and Gen. Marshalls program
at another point of attack with a
report last night urging the Senate
to grant the administrations full
request of $3.50 600 900 for foreign
relief. The House previously had cut
the amount to $200, GOO 900.
Noting that the $3.50 900 900 figure
meets only So per cent of Europe's
relief needs for l947, the committee
said it had learned that 1896 ,OO0, 600
worth of food alone will be available
here for export to Europe this year.
1t said this does not include assist
ance for China.
Needs Are Cited.
IN view of all these considera-
tons the committee considered that
at least $3.50, ,000, 900 would be neces-
sary to meet our share of the relief
program the report said.
Included with the report was q
letter from Gen. Marshall advising
that the department would not
approve the expenditure of more
than sl5,00o, 600 Of this amount for
relief in any other countries or ter
ritories than Austria, Greece, Hun
gary, Italy, Poland, Trieste and

Increased AIloNall
For Student Veterans
Urged BY Pepper

Senator Pepper. Democrat, oi
Floritis, today urged Congress te
raisee subsistence allowances high
enough to meet all basic living ex-
|pensessof student veterans.
The legislator. testifying at nrst
Senate hearings on veterans needs
told the Veterans Subcommittee ol
the Senate Labor Committee /,
never had been his idea that vet
Grams have to s.use their savings
work part time and drop out c1
school, because the Government,s 4
allowances are too low.
His proposal Is more drastic thar
those heard by the House Veterans
Affairs Committee, which has con-
|cludsd long hearings on the SUBJ
sistence question. At present, the
veterans get S65 q month while
going 10 school II they have no de-
rendents and $50 II they do.
Earlier, Chairman Morse declared
q scholarship fund should be set up
to allow superior students to 60
through school without working
part time
n IN made the statement when i
Vetef p4 of Foreign Wars spokes-
man urged increased payments, hut
pointed out 1t was Congress intent
In the CT Bill OF Rights only to sup
plement veterans living expenses.
But we must consider the ques-
ton Of full subsistence for men with
go0d scientific minds who now are
hecomi11g too discouraged to follow
through their courses. Senator
Morse replied.
The Senator, who said he would
do a lot of floor leadership In trying
TO get more money for the veterans,
said one OF the committees first
jobs is to find out how many vet
