Italy's Population
War Grimes Trials

ROME. - (AP). - Crowded
Italy's. population jumped anoth-
er half million in 1916. II
. That was the margin: of births
over deaths in the first full post
war year. :
Tabulation of official statistics
showed that 1,022,231 babies were
born in 1916, against 820,59l in
1945 while only 541,629 Italians
died compared with 619,949 the
year before.
Moreover, the statisticians
pointed out, there were 413,083
marriages last year against 304,-
998 in 1915 and 223,6 1913 in 1914.
That would mean more babies
in 1947, they said and. if things
kept up that way, the country's
population would reach $4,000, 900
in 10 years.

but nobody felt happy over this,
either. Finally, his Excel Gov

.ESCALERO, N. M.-Above
~ the Mescalero valley of south
ern New Mexico towers ST. Jo-
seph's Mission--an imposing
structure that prompts inquiry
why this Apache Indian agency
headquarters has such a large
cathedral.
The answer is Father. Albert
w. Braun who built it stone by
stone, beam by beam in about
20 years.
Franciscan padre and Army
chaplain to two generations Of
World War soldiers, Father Al
bert began the mission as a men,
.orial to the soldier dead.
The design was by W.. c. STAN
ton, Philadelphia architest and
friend. Occasional volunteers
aided Father Albert. Antonio
Maria Leyva, aging stone mason,
worked on it the last 16 years of
his life. But mostly it was the
padre who quarried the rock,
hewed the timbers and built the
church. The completed SUPER
structure was dedicated in 1899
by Bishop A. Schiller of Ell Paso,
Texas.
The windows were boarded,
waiting for unsolicited funds to
provide glass when the immi-
hence of World War II called
Father Albert to the colors again.
He was one of the 1000 men
from New Mexico who were with
the 200th Coast Artillery in the
Philippines when war came. He
survived Bataan and long i'm.
prisonment by the japanese, and
returned to find friends had SUBJ

Many Hospitals Found Inadequate
The survey reported that three
fourths OF the hospitals serving
coal miners are inadequate in surgi-
cal rooms, delivery rooms, labor
rooms, nurseries, clinical labora-
tories or X-ray facilities.
The survey group also reported
these findings:
l. Seventy-two per cent of the
surveyed mines are not prepared
to provide immediate emergency
medical care to seriously injured
persons.
2. In a majority of the coal min
ing communities, there are serious
deficiencies in development and
maintenance of public health and
sanitation services, and "physi.
clans, with a few exceptions, have
not taken advantage Of their op-
portunities to contribute to such i'm

Selection Of Physicians Hit.
In selection Of company physicians,
the report added, both management
and labor appear in few instances
to have abused their responsibilities
and privileges. Physicians were not
selected primarily on the basis Of
professional qualifications but on the
basis Of personal friendships, finan-
cial tieups, social viewpoints or other
lnon-medical considerations"
The report concluded with Al
detailed recommendations for the
improvement Of medical services,

Senate Group Studies
Complete U. 5. Inquiry
On Coal Mine Safety
By jones Y. Newton

A special Senate subcommittee
today considered a thorough
study of the whole field of coal
mine safety, as the Government
reported that health and santa
ton are below standard In more
than half OF the mining COM
munities.
Chairman Gordon Of the Senate
Public Lands subcommittee, which
has been investigating the recent
mine explosion at Centralia, ILL.,, said
the group should call for "a compre-
hensive study Of the whole problem. I"
Final decision will be made when
the group completes Its Centralia
report.
Senator Gordon said the COM
mittee's inquiry has been too con-
fined to enable 1t to recommend
legislation for Federal enforcement
Of mine safety standards. He said
that before new legislation Is drawn
inquiry should be made OF anthra-
cite mines, surface operations and
state safety regulations.
The mine health and sanitation
report was made by the Interior
Departments Coal Mines Admins
tration, operator of the Govern
nent operated soft coal mines.
Provision for the study was made in
the. contract signed a year ago by
Secretary. Of Interior Krug and John
L. Lewis.
Conditions Termed "a Disgrace
Conducted by Rear Admiral Joel
T. Boone, White House physician
when Herbert Hoover was Presi-
dent, the report stated that condi-
tions In some mining communities
"are a disgrace to the industry and
to the Nation"
The report includes $40 pages of
findings made by five Navy survey
teams which visited $50 mines in %
coal-producing States. The actual
investigation required four months.
The survey showed that health
conditions ranged from excellent tt

CANADA:
Defense Agreement

Partners in war, U. S. and Can
ada will remain partners in peace
to strengthen the defense of the
northern portion of the western hem
isphere.
Agreement to extend wartime mil
itary cooperation into the postwar
world was announced Simultaneous
ly by Washington and Ottawa. Be-
cause the agreement was of a
friendly, informal character and in
volved no treaty or obligations, con-
gressional approval will not be nec-
essary. the state department said.
With development of high-speed
bombers, supersonic rockets, guided
missiles and radio-controlled pilot
less aircraft, Canada's arctic circle
comprising the shortest distance be-
tween Asia and Europe and the
western hemisphere is considered as
this country's chief natural defense
frontier. Cooperation with Canada
thus would afford the U. S. a stra-
tegic advantage in coping with an
arctic aerial attack.
The new agreement calls for IA
miliarization of U. S. and Canadian
officers with one another's military
establishment; gradual standardized
ton of weapons, and mutual and
reciprocal use of military and naval
facilities.

CONGRESS-:
SIO1U on Labor

With industrial spokesmen divid-
ed among themselves upon correc-
tive labor legislation, house and
senate labor committees found their
tasks complicated with little chance
for early action.
With action already delayed by
Republican reorganization of the
new congress and streamlining of
procedure provided for in the La Fol-
lette bill last year, it appears that
the lawmakers will not be able to
agree upon any substantial correc-
tive legislation before expiration of
John, L. Lewis truce with the gov
ernment March 81.
Indicative of the differences be.
tween industrial interests. Forney
Johnston, special counsel for Nation
al Coal association, blasted indus
try-wide bargaining with unions,
while Almon E. Roth, president of
National Federation of American
Shipping, approved of it. While in
dustry-wide bargaining, which COW
ers many plants. is considered less
troublesome and costly. individual
employers sacrifice some of their
independence in consummating such
agreements.

GERMANY:
Allies Conflict

Implementation of differing Allied

promises to produce conflicting
hodge-podge that will complicate

u. S., Britain and Russia.
The confused situation was point
ed up by the U. S. PRONUNCIATION of
antitrust law in the American oc-
cupation zone. Designed to pro-
mote independent enterprise, the
law will require reorganization of
some 80 large German corporations
with assets of 800 million dollars.
Firms employing over 10000 people
will be the first targets.
While the British issued similar

Railroad passenger service would
be curtailed to clear rights of way
for coal trains and divert locomo-
tives to such haulage; servicemen
would be employed at digging sur
face coal; additional trucks would
be provided to transport fuel from
docks and railroad depots; all but
essential street lighting would be
banned, and violators of electricity
conservation orders would be pun
ished.
Airplanes were used to drop food
and other essentials to snow-bound
villages cut off from railroad and
highway communication by the
heavy drifts.
Sick Industry
Behind Britain's acute coal crisis
which left millions jobless and shiv-
ering as industrial and domestic
power services were sharply cur
tailed lay the story of an antiquat-
ed coal mining industry enfeebled
by low wages. undesirable working
conditions and outmoded machinery.
Naturalization of the mines
by the Labor government, with
the promise of an improvement
in the industry, has been too re-
cent to afford substantial relief
from the aggravated conditions
of two and a half decades.
In 1913, Britain produced 287 ,000,-
600 tons of coal with 1,107,0 900 min
ers, but by 1920 output dropped to
230,000,000 tons. Despite a larger
working force, the decline was at.
tributed to the advancing age of the
miners and lack of adequate equip
ment.
. Year by year production con-
tinued to slip until it sagged to
an all-time low of 49,, ,O00, 900 tons
in 1945. But whereas u. S.
output continued to climb to over
600,00O,000 tons and wages ad- :
vanced to high levels, both Brit
ish industry and mine help re-
4 sisted introduction of new ma
=, chinery which would have in
creased volume and allowed
more pay.
Because OF the unattractive pros
poets in the mines, the industry has
had difficulty recruiting younger
men. AS result, it has been forced
to stumble along in the face Of ris-
ing demands. with production just
about meeting immediate needs and
allowing no stockpiling.
