SETTLEMENT NEAR IN KEY
 PHONE UNIT

WASHINGTON, April 9.|R- Negotiators in the nationwide tele- phone strike ended an eight-hour session early today with agree ment within reach for a key unit in the vast Bell system.
 All indications were that the cross-country shutdown would con- tinue for at least another 24 hours, however.
 The last-minute obstacle in government aided negotiations for tka long distance lines of The American Telephone and Telegraph Company involved the cost of ar bitrating wages and other issues in dispute.
 Government typists went to work this afternoon on proposed con- tract which might end the nation wide telephone strike before it is much older.
 The tentative agreement would affect specifically only the strike of 10000 long distance employees of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
 But if the unions and A. T. and T. subsidiaries, including the 19- company Bell system, agreed to accept it as a model for contracts with their employees, there appear ed every reason to suppose the three-day strike would be over

WAR CRISIS I5 F0RE5EEN
 BY WALLACE
Former Vile-President Not to Include Russia in
 Speaking Tour

LONDON, April 9.-tR-Henry A Wallace said today he feared the Truman policy of lending money for what Wallace called the poli- tical purpose of stopping Russian expansion would establish during the next three month a pattern which might lead to war.
 The former Vice President of the United States fixed no date for 8 war crisis in his hypothesis, but he told more than 200 British and foreign newsmen in a news con ference that he felt a sense of ur- gency in watching these two great giants, America and Russia, get ting ready for death struggle"
 Asked what specific action he recommended, Wallace said.
 We should make clear that American power is being used to increase the productivity of the common man in peace all over the world, instead of being used to di- vide the world into warning camps.
 For his own role, Wallace said he felt he could not help the cause of peace by trip to Rus sia now because T would be un- der suspicion from both sides"
 Wallace arrived yesterday for a two-week speaking tour of Britain Scandinavia and France.

LEWIS IN COURT ON
 THURSDAY

WASHINGTON. April 9 R-Own- CTS of the seized soft coal mines accused John L. Lewis today of en- gineering a deliberate and pre- Mine Workers in defiance of Fed eral courts.
 The Justice Department kept secret it's own view pending an- other appearance by Lewis tomor- row before the judge who plastered him and the UNIV with fines to- taling S3,51O,O00 for violating a mo- strike order last December.
 Lewis advised his union locals by telegram during the day that he approves resumption of pro- auction at each mine as fast as it is certified by Federal Mine h. spectors as being in conformity ! with the Federal Mine Safety Code"
 The owners claim that Lewis word to the miners to stay out of pits asserted to be unsafe is in- tended to break up a back-to-wor movement among the 100000 AFL United Mine Workers. This move ment brought soft coal production up to forty percent of normal yes terday Lewis himself has directed Ii his miners to resume production at each pit as soon as it is certified as safe by Federal Inspectors. But, charges Executive Secretary John Battle of the National Coal Association, to use Battle words-"he Iewis) is in reality telling his miners not to return to work until the Federal Inspectors have had time to revisit all the mines and recertify them-a mat ter of weeks or months"
 Lewis goes back before Judge Alan Goldsborough tomorrow tc ask for the return of all but S7l0- 900 of the fines assessed in con- nection with the 17-day soft coal strike last fall The United States Supreme Court has upheld Colds borough's finding that Lewis and the union committed contempt by ignoring a Federal District Court order to return to work. But the High Tribunal directed the return of S2,800000 to the union if it com piled after losing it's appeal. Lewis own $10,000 fine was left intact.

National Magazine Says
 krug Gan Speed Day When
 Alaska Gets Pulp Industry

SEATTLE, April 9-lR-A sug- gestion that Secretary of Interior Krug can speed the day when a newsprint or pulp and paper mill will be built in Alaska by dispos- ing of aboriginal native Indian claims to ownership of Alaska s best pulpwood timber" is made edi- torially in the April issue of Pulp and Paper Industry, national mag azine published in Seattle
 The editorial says.
 Secretary of Interior Krug and other government officials speak ing before newspaper publishers and other eager audiences, have recently been painting enticing pictures for pulp and paper in- dustry in Alaska. Certainly, all they say about Alaskas timber and power resources and the suitability of native Indians for jobs of re- sponsibility in a pulp and paper mill are 100 percent true. Some day there will be a paper industry in Alaska of real importance-it is as true as the rising sun.
 But that day can be speedec if Secretary Krug will take some action himself to dispose of ab- original native Indian claims to the ownership of the best pulpwooo timber in Alaska, claims which were fostered by his predecessor MT. Ickes, and which are still a menace to anyone who would dare to invest $25 100000 or more in a mill in Alaska"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The main out line of the new Labor Bill has now been fixed by the Senate Labor Committee after several weeks of backstage battling. The battle took place in a secret strat- egy meeting by Republican mem bers at which Senator Bob Taft amazed some of his colleagues while Oregon's fortnight Wayne Morse amazed others.
 Main discussion at the secret meeting centered on the position President Truman might take on different provisions of the Labor Bill, catchall measure which in cludes variety of regulations among them a ban on the closed shop.
 Chairman Taft hitherto has in- dicated that he is for mild Labor bill, aimed chiefly at curbing juris- ,dictional strikes and secondary boycotts, and requiring Labor un- ions to reveal their finances. And at the recent meeting, Taft re- marked that Truman was certain to veto a tougher bill, especially one outlawing the closed shop.
 Tn view of the telephone crisis and John L. Lewis mourning walkout in the coal mines, however, Taft and majority of the com mittee decided that a tough bill was needed to head off further work stoppages.
 The Senators who took the lead in this were Taft, Joe Ball of Minnesota, and William Jenner of Indiana. They took the position "Let Truman veto if he wants to-"
 Next question was-could a two- thirds vote be mustered to over ride the veto? It was decided that this was unlikely, barring a crip- bling wave of strikes. However, this possibility didn't seem to bother the Taft -Ball-Jenner trio. All three argued that if a labor bill couldn't be passed over the Presidents head, then Truman himself would be held accountable for blocking effective labor legis- lation.
