 John F. Sonnet, assistant United States Attorney General, said the government wants to enter the case and return it to the Supreme Court "as soon as possible"
 Earlier Sonnett told the federal judge that this course of action had been cleared by every gov ernment agency, including the President of the United States"

ate committee, scheduled for Feb. 26. For that reason he asked re- porters not to quote him. Tn a talk ative and genial mood, Lewis let his shaggy hair down 70 neWSmen as he rarely does. He would not discuss the pending Supreme Court decision involving himself and the miners, however, or what his union proposed to do about getting new contract.
 Lewis indicated he will consider himself under court restraint, but there were no signs that any coal operators or representatives of the government had approached him to discuss a new contract.

Steamship Lines
 Threaten 35% Hike Or No Service

'IontlnueQ From PaSe one price executive, now economist for the Interior Department assigned to Alaska, demolished his claims in nothing flat. Rogers brought out the following facts "The Maritime Commission has rejected the steam ship companies report as not cov- ering a representative period Of time, for these reasons:
 "l.-Operations of the first six months of l946 were by the War Shipping Administration mad not by private carriers.
 "2.-The War Shipping Admin istration does not receive pay for mail and other freight carried for government agencies, which is a fruitful source. The lush months during which salmon is shipped south, bringing in greatly aug mented revenue.
 "3.-Operating expenses claimed in the report include some large labor awards and overtime pay ments for services performed prior the 1946"
 Rogers also showed that an over all increase of thirty-five per cent included passenger rates as well as freight, and that the actual freight rate increase was forty-five per cent above the present rates and Sixty-eight per cent above 1941 rates.
 The report also listed numerous categories of freight important to the cost of living in Alaska, includ- ing building material, cars, food, furniture, etc, in which the in crease ranged upward to seventy two per cent.
 Following the testimony of Rog- CTS, the legislature voted to wire Delegate Bartlett that it protests the proposed rates unless and un- til approved by the Maritime Com mission as justified. Senator D. C.. BroWnell D.-3rd Div.O of Seward, was the only person opposing.
 Resolutions being passed today under supervision of rules affirm ing the legislature action.
 A wire from Secretary of Inte- rior Krug today promises to help the legislature in establishing it's own Shipping Authority as pro- vided by bill now pending before the legislature, in the event the legislature approved this action.

OF course, Bruce was anything
~ but overjoyed. If anything, he
felt regret--real regret, when he
began to receive calls from Gail
Lake on the telephone. Always she
greeted him with a question that
smoldered as it came over the
wire:
When are you coming to see
me, Brucie?"
He did not tell T'nette about
Calls calls-nor did he mention
the picture which had appeared
in the newspaper. And, although
she saw it, T'nette said nothing
about it either, waiting for him to
mention it.
But he did not, chiefly because
he had no desire to reopen closed
wounds.
So he forgot all about the mat
ter. 1t was swept from his mind as
the weeks rushed by in head
long dizzy swirl. He did not notice
the subtle change in Tnette; and
so it was as if he had been hit in
the head when he came home one
Saturday afternoon, to a house
oddly at rest-quiet.
T'nette had written a note:
Bruce, Julie and have gone to
Connecticut to spend the winter
with Nola. I had to get away.
Please edo not follow me. You
know am not an emotional idiot.
You have important work to do.
Finish it, and then--perhaps, then
we can strighten ourselves out.
But right now, I don't want to see
you.
Tnette.
P.S. Why didn't you tell me you
had seen Gail Lake"
His first impulse was to tele-
phone the airport and try to get
a reservation on an eaStbound
plane; but even as his hand
reached the receiver he withdrew
it. He hadn't the -vaguest idea
what had gone wrong. T'nette was
not an emotional firecracker. God
knew, she had no reason to stick
around Encino, and even less
reason to stick around him. Any

FIRST RABBI SINCE
WAR SAILS FOR
GERMAN CAPITAL

NEW YORK, May - Up - DR..
Michael L. Munk, head of a He
brew parochial school here since
1914, will sail aboard the Maure-
tania Tuesday to assume his new
duties as Rabbi of Berlin, first
there since the start of the war.
DR.. Munk, an American citizen
but a native of Berlin, said his as
signment, under the auspices of
the Jewish distribution committee,
would be for an initial period of
"about a year"
He said that he would not en-
courage Berlin's $500 surviving
resident Jews to re-establisa a
permanent life in Germany.
II do not think that there is any
chance of reconciliation for the
Berlin Jews with the Christian
population" the 42-year-old Rabbi
added. "1t is hard for people
whose next of kin were murdered
to get on familiar terms with their
Christian neighbors again"
With his wife and three small
children, DR.. Mink escaped from
Germany in 1888. Arriving in the
United States in 1871, he became
Rabbi of the Beth Hamidrash Ha-
gadol congregation in Boston.
DR.. Munk said he would live in
American quarters in the German
capital and expected to have &C
cess to all four Of its occupation
zones. Most of the city's seven
remaining synagogues are in the
Russian area.

A long and violent feud between

decades the seat of municipal
government has been shifted from
old Hermann Barrio to Pambujan-
or back again as political
strengths shifted.
Furthermore, eff the seat of

Hermann, the people of Pambujan
would not pay their taxes and
vice versa"
Everyone approved, though, his
bill Incorporating the two feuding
communities and five other bar
rios into General Macarthur City.
There's only one more hurdle to
permanent peace the Senate. 1t
too, must approve. But it recently
rejected a move to confer Gen

prior to the girls disappearance.
Sgt. Thomas Lee of the Chicago
said the car had stains re-
blood on the rear seat.
He said an attendendant brought
the car to the parking lot Satur-
day for a wash job. The attendant
called for 1t shortly afterwards
and after a few hours returned
it for parking, Lee said. Police
were assigned to watch it.
George c. Weckler, father of the
girl, yesterday offered a $1,000 re-
ward ''for a definite tip or in
formation leading to the recovery
Of the girl or the arrest of the
abductor." Friends of the family
added $1,50O to the reward offer.
Georgia Jean was last seen on
her way home from school.
A retired farmer, Sam Kliment,
told Fort Atkinson police he saw

the town Thursday afternoon. He
said he say a little girl forced"

cry 'let me out of here. I want to

her."
In another DEVELOPMENT, Oscar
Mcneil of Milwaukee, a friend OF

vital to obtain understanding
abroad OF this nations foreign
policy.
He called in 81 key Congress
icnal leaders-Capitol Hill policy
makers on money matters, diplo.
matte affairs and communications
for an unusual huddle tomorrow
with top radio executives to en-
phasize the departments view that
international broadcasting needs
government funds.
In line with President Humans
intention of applying a bipartisan
approach to problems affecting
foreign policy, both Republicans
and Democrats were invited to
the meeting.
Marshall is counting heavily up
on this bipartisan approach to
Withstand attempts in the House
to defeat the Greek-Turkish bill.
UNDERSIGNED
The possibility of such a setback
was underscored by the single-vote
margin which saved the measure
from being shelved indefinitely in
the House Rules committee. It
took the vote of Chairman Leo Al
len (R-Ill.), an acknowledged op-
ponent of the measure, to send
it to the floor for nine hours OF
general debate beginning tomor-
row.
Despite Speaker Martins pre-
diction that the bill will pass by
a Substantial Margin" a SUBJ
stantial group of Republicans
most of them from the far and
mid-West-have organized for a
determined fight. .
Their strategy, as privately out
lined by one member of the group,
will be to concentrate upon an
.ttempt to substitute a resolution
to send the Greek-Turkish problem
to the U. N. for action. They be-
lieve that such a move will at
tract some Democratic support.
Anticipating approval of the bill,
the State department was reported
to be forming an advance guard
of government economists and ad-
ministrators to speed to Greece.

Marshall and the administra-
ton appear to have at least a So
so chance of getting Senate ap-
prevail of the $3.50, 600, 900 foreign
relief bill In nearly its original
form.
The measure is ready for Sen
ate consideration just as soon as
debate ends on the labor bill. 1t
has the unanimous backing of the
Senate Foreign Relations commit
tee headed by Senator Vanden-
berg (R-Mich.).
Should the Senate approve the
full $3.50, 600, 900, the bill will go
to a joint Congressional commit
tee in an effort to reach a COM
promise between the Senate and
House,
