New Page Boy Forced to Wait
For Knickers to Be Tailored

rived last night, Tommy was
stumped. He telephoned frantically
for his parents, who were visiting
friends.
AS for the kniekers and stockings,
calls to just about every place in
town" have resulted in the location
of some stockings in a downtown
store, but no knickers. The latter
will have to be made, so Tommy will
work in the cloak room until he
gets the trousers in a week or SO.
Tommy is interested in studying
law-he wants to be judge or a
mayor. He draws. plays the piano,
reads a great deal, especially
biographies, and is ping pong

UNIV Executive Board
Meets, May Consider
Talks With Operators
By jones Y. Newton

The United Mine Workers Execu-
tive Board was meeting here today
with President John L. Lewis for
discussions that repeatedly will in
clude the question of new contract
negotiations with soft-coal opera
tors of the North and Midwest.
= The private operators national
Negotiating Committee recently
split over a resumption of wage
talks with the mine workers. Such
negotiations would be designed to
draft q new industry contract and
bring about release of the bitum-
|inous pits, in Government posses
sion since last springs strike.
Midwestern, and Northern opera
tors, including representatives OF
the steel company-held captive"
mines, expressed willingness to ne
gotiate with Mr.. Lewis at any mu-
tually agreeable date. Southern
producers and those from the Far
West held out for postponement Of
talks until the Supreme Court has
ruled on the contempt conviction of
Mr.. Lewis and the union.
Spokesman for the union re-
fused to say definitely whether the
question Of wage talks with part of
the coal industry was being taken
up at the current board meeting.
They said the session was concerned
with routine matters"
The October convention of the
UNIV refused to approve the draft
ing of separate contract with part
of the industry. 1t held out for q
national agreement, similar to ones
which have been in effect since 1943.
Despite that action, it was be-
lieved that Mr.. Lewis and the Ex-
ecutive Board could find way
around the problem by holding out
for acceptance by Southern inter-
ests whatever contract terms were
agreed to by operators from the
other sections.
The Supreme Court will hear
arguments January IA on the recent
District Court conviction Of Mr..
Lewis and his union.

Lower Temperatures
And Possibly Snow
Seen for Week End

Colder weather and possibly more
snow over the week end was shaping
up for Washington today after
rain had washed away most traces
of the New Year Day snowfall.
Above-freezing temperatures last
night and today removed ice and
snow from the streets, reducing
traffic hazards. The OCCASIONAL rains
were expected to stop before to-
night, swhen strong winds should
dry the streets.
Tonight's temperatures are ex-
pected to be in the low 30s. Sat-
urday night they may, slip, under
20 degrees, with a possibility. that
snow will follow ,a ',rs sys.
> $50 Flights Cancelled Here.
The first three days of 1947 have
proved the worst in recent years
from the standpoint of flying. About
$50 regular flights have been can
lceled at National Airport since the
snow on New Year eve was followed
! by sIeet and freezing conditions aloft
and fog and freezing rain on the
ground. The outlook is only slightly
better for tonight and tomorrow.
The only regular air operation in
this vicinity has been that of the
Army Air Forces all-weather test
lC-54 which landed at Andrews
Field in heavy fog about II am.
today from the weather units base
at Wilmington, Ohio, and was pre-
pairing to take off for the return
"trip this afternoon.
The four -motored transport, flown
by specialists and fitted with de-
icing and special navigational equip
ment, has made daily round trips
Iunhindered by the weather since
last August. For several days the
plane has been talked down" here
by radar ground d-controlled ap-
|proach crews in fog so thick it hid
the plane from sight until it was
on the runway.
Entire Coastal Area Affected.
Adverse flying conditions extend
along the Atlantic Coast almost to
Florida and as far west as Chicago.
The rising temperatures and rain
saved the District about $50, 600,
City Refuse Superintendent William
A. xanten estimated. Gambling on
the weather, he kept snow plows
off the streets and thus spared the
expense of having the snow hauled
away. However, 1t was necessary
to use 1,500 tons of sand-a record
for the city.
