Missing in Rocket Test
BY the Associated Press

WHITE SANDS, N. Mex, Mar. 8.
The Army completed a successful
21st rocket shoot" yesterday and,
meanwhile, solved at least part of
the mystery of the missing war
heads from German va rockets.
1t. Col. Harold r. Turner, White
SANDS proving ground commandant,
reported today that one of them has
been recovered after discovery by
a rancher at considerable distance
west of the launching site here.
= Col. Turner repeatedly has secuted
theories that the missing heads went
so high they got outside the pull of
gravity from the earth and were
floating around up there.
One of the missing heads was
from the record 114-mile shoot last
December II. The one found was
from a January test, Col. Turner
said.

Crew Of "a Rescued
BY the Associated Press

DEAL, England, Mar. 8.-The Ira,
70o0-ton Greek coal ship built in
the United States, exploded and
broke in two today after running
aground on English Channel sands,
but her 34-man crew was rescued
despite panic in which some were
injured.
The Ira. formerly the American
Liberty ship Harry Percy, was
carrying coal from Newport News,
Va, to Antwerp on her first Atlantic
crossing under the Greek flag when
she went aground on the treacherous
Goodwin Sands about midnight.
She shattered herself five hours
later.
Seamen from Walmer took the
crew off in lifeboats. Jim Rich of
Walmer, directing the rescue aboard
the Ira, said he and shipmates were
swept away by mad rush of Greek
seamen for the lifeboats. Coxswain
Fred Upton, who was in a lifeboat
300 yards from the Greek ship when
she fell apart, said he had never
seen such panic in all my life"
None of the rescued was reported
injured severely.

snow expected during the middle of

In spite of the fact that Washing

there is nothing unusual for snow to
fall at this time of the year in this
area. They recalled that lis inches

only the fourth largest snowfall on

Virginia found itself gripped with
another blustery snowfall today, the

La Guardia Proposes
Congress Of Labor
As Hearings Near End
Former Mayor Urges
Senators to Avoid
Hosty Action on Curbs

Congress was urged by Fiorello
La Guardia today to use its in
fluence to bring about a merger
OF all labor organizations into an
American Congress of Labor"
The former New York mayor ap-
peared before the Senate Labor
Committee, which is ending six
weeks of hearings on a myriad of
proposals for changing labor law
and restricting union activity.
Mr.. La Guardia suggested estab-
lishment of a committee composed
OF members of Congress, representa-
tlves and management and labor to
study the merger idea along with
proposals to change labor laws.
Sees Industry Stability.
He was co-sponsor of the Norris
La Guardia Anti-Injunction Act,
which freed unions from most court
.injunctions, but which the Supreme
Court has just ruled did not apply
to Government efforts to adolf
last falls coal strike. He told the
Senate Committee:
Under our form of Government,
one national parent body for labor
would fit admirably and would re-
suit in greater benefit and security
for wage earners and stability for
industry.
AS the long Senate hearing
drew to close, members of the
committee still were reported as
undecided about major changes in
labor law. From remarks of various
committee members in the hearings
it was apparent that action will be
taken to outlaw jurisdictional
strikes, secondary boycotts, that the
Wagner Act will be amended some-
what and that procedures probably
will be established to limit effect of
Nationwide strikes such as the coal
mine shutdowns.
Gerald D. Reilly, former member
OF the National Labor Relations
Board, was to follow Mr.. La Guardia
on the stand as the final witness be-
fore the committee.

Clark Will Ask
For Immediate
Lewis Mandate
Prompt Enforcement
Of Ruling Needed to
Avert Strike, He Says
By jones Y. Newton

Attorney General Clark will
ask the Supreme Court Monday
for immediate enforcement of
its ruling that John L. Lewis
must withdraw the strike-pro-
noting contract termination"
notice he sent the Government
last November. The move is
designed to head off the pos
sibility OF another coal strike
April l.
The Justice Department, saying
the danger of a strike still exists,
announced that Gin the public in
terest" it will request the court to
issue the mandate backing up its
decision in the Lewis case without
waiting the customary Is days. If
the court accedes, Mr.. Lewis and his
United Mine Workers will have to
Withdraw within five days the ter
minaNon notice to Secretary of In
terror Krug or pay an additional
$2,800,000 fine.
MIR. Lewis counsel were meeting
today to decide whether or not they
will oppose Mr.. Clark's motion.
Krug Lauds Ruling.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Krug, describing
the Supreme Court opinion holding
Mr.. Lewis and the union guilty of
contempt as beautiful reading for
any American" said he will make
no attempt to bring the miners and
soft coal operators together for con-
tract negotiations until Lewis has
complied with the decision"
Mr.. Krug told radio interviewer
he thought the courts decision had
temporarily" removed the threat
of another strike.
The high courts mandate re-
quires Mr.. Lewis to withdraw his
notice ending the unions contract
with the Government as operator of
the coal mines. When he ordered
the miners back to work December
Z, the UNIV chief called a truce
only until the end of this month.
Mr.. Lewis will have five days to
observe the mandate. Adding the
usual 25-day delay by the Supreme
Court would run the court pro-
cedure past the truce deadline.
Taft Forecasts Strike.
Chairman Taft Of the Senate
Labor Committee said after Mr..
Lewis appearance as a committee
witness yesterday he thinks the
next coal strike will occur July r.
the date when the Government IS
authority to operate the mines runs
out.
Mr.. Lewis contention before the
committee that the Government is
acting as muscle man" and police
patrol" for the coal operators
brought the comment from Mr.. Krug
last night that the Krug-Lewis con-
tract dealt very handsomely with
the mine workers"
Mr.. Krug signed the contract with
Mr.. Lewis last May 20 which ended
the spring coal strike.
The mine owners quickly took ex-
ception to Mr.. Lewis statement yes
terday that they are making big
profits under Government control.
Denies Big Profits.
John D. Battle, executive secretary
of the National Coal Association,
issued statement saying that prof
its during the first nine months last
year, before Federal taxes, aver
aged less than Is cents a ton.
Mr.. Lewis told the Senate COM
mittee it was As cents ton. He said
the operators made $3.50 ,0OO, 900 in
profits last year.
Mr.. Battle said the net profit
would not exceed $50 900 900. 1.-THE
big-sounding profit figures" he said,
have no foundation in fact. They
are not to be taken seriously. They
will deceive neither Congress nor
the country"
