Some British Plants Reopen; Still Bitterly Cold
tBy Robert Hewett)

LONDON, (P)-A million work CTS returned to the reopened plants in the Midlands today on this cold est day of the winter, which gave icy notice that the critical coal shortage still was unsolVed.
 Another 100000 remained idle. Plants were reopened in only 8 of the 38 counties which the labor government had shut down two weeks ago.
 A pea soup fog blacked out Lon don and large areas of England, delaying coal shipments and put ting heavier strains on the short coal and waning gas supplies.
 -the-Marsh in the Cotswolds of Southern England re- ported night temperature of two degrees below zero, lowest in the British Isles in 29 years and about 34 degrees below normal. London had a IA degree minimum, coldest since February 1929. Forecasters said the cold wave would continue several days.
 Frozen switches interferred with rail shipments from mines but more lines were cleared of snow. Coal trains were given priority. An official of a London gas com pany. which depends on coal in making the fuel, said i've are very anxious. If the fog spreads in the Thames, as first reports show it is, it will seriously affect the ar rival of supplies"
 Few of the million workers re- turning the chilled factories ex- pected to work full time until the weather breaks and coal stocks are restored to normal.
 The ministry of fuel and power called for a ten per cent reduction in coal consumption by gas com panies and warned domestic users of further cuts in service, probably equalling the five-hour restrictions in the use of domestic electicity.

LADD FIELD, Fairbanks, (P)- Eleven army air force fliers hud- dled today on the barren, icy reaches of the northWeS e n Greenland ice-cap as rescue mis- sions from two parts of the world converged in a giant-scale opera tion for their evacuation.
 None of the II men, members of the B-29 photographic reconnais- sance superfortress 'Kee Bird which crashed Friday, was be- lieved injured.
 Here was the rescue picture with the army's race against time and weather made more difficult by the extreme cold and short days of the Arctic region:
 Three transports and a troop carrying glider winged their way across northern Canada from Ladd field to establish an operational base at Thule, Greenland, 200 miles south of the crash scene
 At New York, Maj. Gen. William H. Turner, commanding general of the Atlantic division of the air transport command, took prelim- mary steps for rescue by helicop- ter or by dog team and alerted all Arc aircraft in Newfoundland Labrador and Greenland to stand ready to aid.
 Capt. Donald A. Shaw, a spe- cialist in Arctic rescue work, was flown from New York to Goose Bay, Labrador. There the ATC has dog teams and equipment ). which sled and dogs can be drop ped by parachutes if it is neces- sary to "mush" the trapped men out.

 As it emerged from the judiciary committee it carried a unanimous do pass recommendation from Rivers, the former chief adver- sary of the Walker bloc, joining with other members of the com mittee to give it the green light.
 Butrovitch led the fight against t on the floor, taking the position that the filling of the position that the filling of the position should await the next regular cleo ton.
 The bill provides that the audi yof will assume the functions of office until the position is filled at the next election. ButrOVitch saw no such emergency as justified in filling the position in this matter. He called Boyle to the stand and had him admit that there would be little for the administrator to do in the next two years and con- Stantly hammered that point home throughout the discussion.
 The Republican platform emerg- ed from ObSCurity and a plank in it was read by Munz, stating that the Republican party would work for the creation of this office.

CAMPBELL PLANS
RALEIGH FARLEY
City Attorney To Meet
Lennon And Kermon On
Civil Service Law

City Attorney William B. Camp
bell left Wilmington yesterday for
Raleigh where he is expected tc
confer with Senator Alton A. Len
non and Representative Robert
M. Kermon in connection with the
pending changes in the present
civil service law, it a learned
here last night.
No announcement has as vel
been made relative to the changes
in the law which were reported
tentatively agreed upon at the con.
ference between representatives Of
the police and fire departments
and the governing body last Satur-
day. 1t was reported, however, that
the new bill will probably contain
the provisions granting to the city
council the authority to select
the police and fire chiefs from
within the departments and to
suspend members of the forces for
80 days.
Campbell said earlier in the
week that he believed another
meeting between the different
factions would be necessary before
an agreement is reached or
amendments to the present act.
It was considered probable by in
terested parties last night that the
second and last session, will be
held between today and Saturday.
The city council had requested
the authority to select the heads
of the fire and police departments
from within Or from without the
departments without civil service
approval as well as the authori-
ty of 80 day suspension, promotion
and demotion.
