LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (P)-A strong hint from two small na- tionS to the five great powers that arms limitation talks would be use less unless the major nations agree among themselves, faced the dele gates of the United Nations com mission for convention armaments today.
 The commission was adjourned until Monday, but the delegates discussed thoroughly the direct in Vitation from Colombia, supported by Syria, to France, Great Britain, Russia, China and the United States to lead the way in arms re duction by first agreeing among themselves.
 The U. N. security council gath cred for another session on the United States request that this country be named administrator for Pacific islands formerly man. dated to Japan but taken from the Japanese by American troops.
 There was hope in the United States delegation that vote might be reached at this session. Austra- lia has withdrawn earlier objec- tions that the whole question should wait until the Pacific treaty conference has been held.

Seawall For Nome Bill Introduced

WASHINGTON, (P)-Measures introduced in the House yesterday included a bill by Delegate Bart lett for the erection of a seawalI or similar shore protection at Nome. It would be built by army engineers as a harbor improve ment.
 Freight could be moved between ports in Canada and Alaska on Canadian vessels when handled as part of through haul from any of the States over Canadian rail lines if a bill recently introduced by Delegate Bartlett prevails.
 The measure, which seeks to amend a part of the so-called re- strictive Jones Act, would allow utilization of such Canadian ports as Prince Rupert for the movement of through traffic which Delegate Bartlett believes would have bene- ficial results.

Miners Take 6-Day Work Stoppage
By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press
 John l.. Lewis United Mine Workers quit their soft coal pits yesterday beginning a six-day StOppage to memorialize the tragic deaths of III Centralia QllJ min CTS.
 The 100000 AFL-UMW mem bers began the mourning period at one minute after midnight starting on the East Coast and extending to the Pacific through the time zones.
 All was quiet in the nations an thraCite mines, too.
 The hard coal mines laid aside picks and shovels for traditional April obserVanceS celebrating the miners winning of the eight hour day nearly a half-century ago.
 But black shroud hovered over all proceedings. Memorial services were the main parts of mining community programs.
 Industry, in the main, seemed unperturbed, no cOal-dependent firms were expected to cuTtail pro- duction. Lewis timing of the "hol- iday" comes in a period when lit tie coal is brought to the surface.
 Miners traditionally don't work April l, and few work on Holy Thursday or Good Friday. Satur- day normally is day orr. Wcdnee day, then, is the only day in which full production is lost. One of the 3l survivors of the tragedy, William E. RoWekamp said he hoped the holiday twill call to the attention of the public the appalling conditions under miners work"
 And from Washington came pos itive indications that Congress was pushing it's probe of mine condi- tions under federal operation.
 Secretary of interior J. A. Krug working on a report to the Sen ate Investigating committee, indi- cated it may be submitted some time during the day.
 Meantime, officials of the solid fuel administration said produc- tion of soft coal was off 20 per cent yesterday as numerous min CTS jumped the gun" on the me morial holiday.

Thompson Calls Party
Convention 10 Mresf
Rule From TaImadge
" The As.oeirted Rrs.s

ATLANTA. April 19.-Georgis s
"soiid" Democratic Party was split
In rival factions tonight as Gov.
NJ. e. Thompson summoned a
Democratic State convention to
wrest party leadership from forces
Of the late Eugene Talmadge.
The convention was called for
April 80 at Macon-scene of a
Talmadge-dominated convention last
October which proclaimed plat
form of white supremacy for Georgia.
In conflicting statements, each
side called the other "boIter," and
Herman Talmadge, son Of the red
gallussed, white supremacy cham
pion, said Talmadge forces would
ignore the convention.
Mr.. Talmadge accused Gov.
Thompson of seeking to split the
Democratic Party so next years
election of Governor would be
forced into the general election for
the first time since the Civil War.
Traditionally, nomination in
Georgis's Democratic primary is
equivalent to election. Mr.. Talmadge,
with strong rural following, en-
joyed an advantage because of
Georgia's unusual county-unit sys-
TEN in which the leading candidate
In each county claims all of its
unit votes Eugene Talmadge
won the governorship in 1916 on
unit votes, although he trailed his
principal opponent in popular votes.
Mr.. Thompson was joined in his
call of the convention by former
Gov. E. D. Rivers, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman for Georgia
and by Mrs. Virginia Polhill Price,
Democratic National Committee
woman.
The call declared that the State
Democratic Executive Committee set
up last October by the Talmadge
convention mo longer exists" be-
cause its chairman and members
either directly bolted the party
and/or acquiesced therein, and sup
ported the candidacy of an indepen-
dent candidate"
There was no reference by name
to Mr.. Talmadge or to James S..
Peters of Manchester, chairman of
the Talmadge- aligned Democratic
State Executive Committee. How
ever. Gov Thompson previously had
charged the Talmadge leadership
with "deserting" the party when
Talmadge lieutenants engineered
.675 write-in votes for Herman as
governor when it appeared that
death might claim his father. Eu-
gene Talmadge, the unopposed DEM
ocratic nominee for governor, died
three weeks before he was to have
been iI1augurated.
Herman Talmadge claimed the
governorship by legislative election
and occupied the Office for six weeks.

Supreme Court. Gov. Thompson,
