"a peaceful offensive"
Can anybody doubt that Den

for European economic co-opera-
tion?" Mr.. Kristensen remarked.
Greece also accepted the invita-

in Athens that she would be rep

Demetrius Helmis.
Officials of countries under Soviet
influence generally refrained from
committing themselves on the plan

economic recovery.
Because of the duplicated invi-

John Nance Garner is back
in the news-not for anything
he has said lately, but for his
fiat refusal to talk or write
for publication. The former
Vice President probably could
have set his own price for his
sulphurous memoirs. But he
answered eager publishers by
making a bonfire Of practi-
cally every scrap OF corre-
spondence bearing on his 46
years of public life. Bascom
Timmons, veteran Washing

back from visiting the taciturn
Texan at his Uvalde ranch,
and he tells in the Sunday
Editorial Section how his host
became a literary arsonist.

Top Czech Officials
To Go 10 Moscow on
Crisis in Aid Plan
Premier and Jan Mosoryk
Are Expected to Seek
PorIey With MoIotov
By the Associated Press

PRAGUE, July 4.--CzechoSlo-
vakia's Communist Premier
Klement GottWald and Foreign
Minister Jan Masaryk decided
suddenly today to leave Prague
tonight for Moscow.
Undoubtedly they hope to confer
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov, or perhaps Prime Minister
Stain, on the crucial economic posi-
ton created here by Russian rejec-
tion of the Marshall "Aid-Europe"
proposal.
They will go by train through
Warsaw, accompanied that far by
Polish Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz
and nine Polish ministers, who
today signed the last link in Slav-
nations network 9of cultural and
trade pacts which could form the
basis for separate Eastern
European economy.
The Russian rejection of the
Marshall program for unified
European economy.
The Russian rejection of the
Marshall program for unified Euro
pean economic recovery has been
the day long topic of earnest
private conversation by members
of Parliament here.
Czechs Have 2-Year Plan.
Plainly, as the trip of the leaders
to Moscow unGerscored, the Czechs
are unable to see in which camp
they would fall or whether they
could continue with one foot in each.
There has been no announcement
here whether the government re-
ceived the French-British invita-
ton to attend a Paris conference
July IL with Russia out.
Czechoslovakia is working out her
economic recovery under a Russian
styled two-year plan of intensive ma
tionalization. 1t would be a hard
decision for her to overlook Mr..
Molotov's stand that countries par
ticipating in the Marshall program
would find their sovereignty sacri-
feed to Western big power will.
Rude Pravo, Prague's Communist
daily, described the new Paris bid
as an invitation to participate
in a Western bloc"
At the same time, however,
| ICzechoslovakias economy urgently
needs Western markets, Western
raw material and Western flnan-
cial credit. She has credit now
only with Britain, Canada and Ar
gentina Her trade alliances with
her Eastern Slavic neighbors are
strong-but none of the countries
has foreign credit or cash markets
or much exportable goods.
Network of Pacts Completed.
The cultural and economic unity
agreements signed by Poland and
Czechoslovakia today completed an
interlocking network of Eastern
European pacts.
The other pacts were completed
more than year ago-friendshiI
and mutual assistance agreements
between Russia and Czechoslovakia
Yugoslavia and Poland, signed sep
arately between each, and cultural
and economic treaties betweer
Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Midwest Coal Contract
Expected in Time TO
Avert Mine Shutdown
Terms to Be Like Those
In Northern Appalachian
And Steel Agreements
By james Y. Newton

Federal labor officials said to-
day they expected soft coal op-
orators of the Midwest to reach
contract agreement with John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers
in time to prevent a shutdown
of their mines next Tuesday.
The terms under which coal inter-
ests of Indiana and Illinois are
expected to sign are the same as
those given the miners by Northern
Appalachian and steel company
mines. Those include the precedent
shattering As cents-an-hour increase
in the basic pay of the miners and
a welfare fund supported by pay
ments of 10 cents per ton on all coal
mined.
Meanwhile, directors of the South
ern Coal Producers Association met
here this morning to decide what
they will do in the face of strike
threat. Operators in the group
representing about Is per cent of
the Nations production, have been
most critical of the big steel interests
for what they describe as a sell out"
of the coal industry in granting Mr..
Lewis virtually all of his top contract
demands.
Immediate Acceptance Doubted.
just what the Southern operators
will do was not known definitely,
although some quarters expressed
doubt that they would accept the
high peace terms Immediately.
In that event. it was held virtu-
ally certain that Southern mines
will remain closed after the mine
workers current Today vacation
ends Monday midnight. All of the
country's soft coal mines now are
closed while the workers are on Off
cial leave.
Precise terms of the new agree
ment between Mr.. Lewis and oper-
ators of captive" and Northern
commercial mines are expected to be
made public tomorrow. The Unions
Policy Committee will meet tomor-
row afternoon and ratification of the
pact is considered certain.
Agreement for One Year.
In addition to boosting the basic
wage of the miners from the present
$1.181a an hour to a fraction over
$163 and supplying the welfare fund
support that will bring in nearly
$50 O,000,0 900 a year, it was understood
the new agreement will run for one
year.
The miners will receive $13.05 for
the eight-hour day underground.
Actually they will work only 61a
hours, since they receive a half
hour paid lunch period and travel
time to and from the working face
of the average mine is about an
hour.
The terms also included extension
of the Federal mine safety code
embodied in the Government agree
ment between Mr.. Lewis and Sec
retary of the Interior Krug.
Mr.. Lewis agreed to abandon his
demand for six paid holidays and
for extra pay for Saturday and
Sunday work.
In Pittsburgh the Western Penn
sylvania Coal Operators Association
said today it had ratified the
broad aspects of the tentative pro-
posal" submitted by Mr.. Lewis.
The proposal is being reduced to
writing, which probably will be
completed by tomorrow and We'll
then take another look at it," As
sociation Secretary Harry A. Suter
