ASSOCIATED REPORT ON INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The non-communist Italian press said today Russia tossed aside all thought of a peaceful communist victory in Italy's elections by re- fusing to discuss Western Power proposal to return Trieste to the Italians.
 The Moscow radio announced rejection of the proposed discus sions last night. The Russians also apparently ruled out a Yugoslav suggestion that Italy and Yugo- slavia discuss the future of the free territory.
 The Soviet announcement came as blow to pro-Italians in Trieste Some said scheduled demonstra- tion of 50,000 persons tomorrow night to hail the Western proposal may turn into an anti-Russian show. Others said the Soviet move was an advance acknowledgement of communist defeat in the Ital- ian elections Sunday and Monday.
 Il Messagero, rightist Rome news paper which has been impartial in its news reporting on the election campaign, said, "there is no doubt that Christian Democracy will de- feat the Front (the. Communist dominated fronD by several lengths.
 The issue of the United States versus Russia in the Italian cam paign was sharpened by commun- ist blasts at U. s. ambassador James C. Dunn.
 Palmiro Togliatti, the communist leader, filed a complaint with the foreign ministry about "continu- ous intervention of foreign ambass- adors in the election campaign"

Lewis and UMWs
 Plead Not Guilty

WASHINGTON, -(P)-John L. Lewis and the United Mine Work CTS today pleaded innocent of con- tempt of court in the coal strike. Their formal plea of Mot Guilty" was made after District Judge T.. Alan Goldsborough overruled a motion by Welly K. Hopkins, Lew is attorney, to dismiss the con- tempt citation.
 Hopkins cited the telegramS Lewis sent to idle miners Monday telling them to go back to Wark.
 He argued they showed Lewis had complied with a court order served April 5, to call off the strike.
 Lewis has insisted that he never called a strike-that it was a ''vol- untary cessation" of wark.
 Immediately after Lewis pleaded Not Guilty" the government be- gan presenting evidence.
 Government lawyers gave out list of six witnesses, some of them obviously designed to show the seriousness of the coal strike during the last four weeks.
 Two of the four witnesses sub poenaed were John OWnes, sec retary treasurer of the UNIV, and William L. P. Burke, Secre- tary to trustees of the Miners Welfare Fund.
 The Walkont was the result o a dispute over payment of pen sions from the welfare fund. The fund comes from 10 cent ton royalty on coal mined.
 Lewis back-to-wark order of Monday followed an agreement granting $1O0 monthly pensions to miners over age 62. The miners were out for a week after the court order for Lewis to end the strike was served.

 She did not amplify.
 Tn Washington reachable Air Force headquarters officers. some of whom had just returned from Alaska, said that if any Russian planes had been over the territory they heard nothing about it. n

Juneau Logging Is At Standstill

JUNEAU, - (P)-The Juneau Spruce Corporations mill here and the Edna Bay logging camp on mained closed today in disputes with two separate CIO unions.
 General manager E. S. Hawkins said at Ketchikan that the pros poets of immediate reopening of the Edna Bay loging camp on Prince of Wales Island were slim.
 Hawkins said labor commission CT Henry Benson had indicated he would enter the dispute only if the principals agreed to have his office mediate.
 The logging works closed last week in a labor dispute with the International WoodWorkers of Am erica (CIO). Hawkins said the company refused to negotiate with the union because it was not cer- tified by the NRLB, as required in the Taft-Hartley Labor Act.
 John Rahm, secretary-treasure of the IVA local, said 40 to 50 men were fired" because of union-or- ganizing efforts at the camp. Rahm said Hawkins had written to him that i've will not tolerate any in- terference with our operation from your local or any other local"
 The Juneau sawmill closed a few days later in union jurisdic- tional dispute. CIO longshoremen picketed the mill in support ot their unions demand for juris- diction over half a dozen loading jobs at the mill. Members of the CIO-affiliated SaWmill Workers Union, which now has jurisdiction over the loading jobs, refused to pass the longshoremen's picket line.

l burned the midnight light
wood knots
While other lads around me
slept
And often dreamed aloud
and snored.
I scraped the big house pans
and pots
AS l around the kitchen crept,
If in them bits of food were
stored.
The way came was more
than hard,
In each step was a piercing
stone,
But none of these things
could retard
The one whose urge was to
60 on.

voice, sounds a bit too forced on
the Decca of CARELESS LOVE.
This throaty singer uses her yodel
considerably more on the western
flipover, SING ME A SONG OF
TEXAS. .. A rather drippy bari
tone, Eddy Fullylove, gushes on
the Supreme of WHEN THE MIS-
SION BELLS RING and MY BIG
THRILL. Bobby Pittman
could pass for Bill Kenny of the
Ink Spots as he vocalizes HAD
TO GIVE YOU UP and IF HAD
YOU, same label.
BLUES:-Brownie McGhee, one
Of the best blues singers, has two
Savoy platters that rate up high.
His ROBY-DOBY BOOGIE will
appeal not only to baseball fans
but to all of us and is a good
backing for the rocking HARD
BED BLUES. On FIRST AND
FIFTEENTH STUFF he'll get
lots of sympathy from those
who get paid twice monthly and
his MABELLE is real low down.
Striking guitar aids both. .
Jimmy Witherspoon shouts two
good ones on Supreme in boogie
tempo, CAIN RIVER BLUES and
WANDERING GAL. Lonnie
Johnson with just his phenom-
email guitar is heard on a Decca
reissue of two exceptional sides,

Under the title, New Move
ments in Be-Bop," Lionel Hamp-
ton has recorded an album of
eight sides on Decca. Good scor-
ing characterizes the music gen.
orally, and Hamp has not gone so
far into bop experimentation as
to lose his feeling for rhythmic
jazz.
HOT JAZZ:-Lester Young, at
his best on riffy, leaping stuff,
gets a nod for his Savoy Of JUMP
LESTER JUMP and BLUE LES
TER. Count Basic is on piano
and the small rhythmic section
has tremendous drive. Buddy
Tate, a former Basic tenorman,
generates real heat on the Su-
preme of TATE'S A JUMPING
and the slow blues FAIR WEA-
Their FRIEND. That Kansas City
power is very evident. Still
talking about terrific tenors,
there's that imaginative master,
Charlie Ventura, pushing the stuff
out on the Savoy of CHARLIE
COMES ON and JACKPOT with
Arnold Ross modern piano shar-
ing honors.
Roy Eldridge, who someday
may start on a confagration with
his nervous trumpet, toots
through the roof on the Decca
of AFTER YOU'VE GONE and
then puts the brakes on as he
blows l CAN'T GET STARTED
in a manner totally different
from Berigan's justly famed opus.
That wasp-toned trombonist
Vic Dickinson, leads an Filing
ton-sounding small band through
YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
and O'HARA'S HERE on Su-
preme. Good solos characterize
both and Vic tries his hand at
singing the first.
SWING STUFF:-If you want
your music jivey, jumpy and riffy,
then you'll get it on Bill Moore's
Savoy of WE'RE GONNA ROCK
and HARLEM ON PARADE. Paul
Williams tenor sax seems to have
gotten stuck in the rut of tire
some riff. But under his own
name, Williams does considerably
better on the Savoy of BOUNC-
ING WITH BENSON, honoring a
popular Chicago disc jockey, and
BOOGIE RIDE. Louis Speig-
ner plays good guitar and shows
definite T-Bone Walker influences.
He has a chance to jump all over
the Supreme of LOUIE'S GUI-
TAR BOOGIE and on the pairing
he sets the pace as Jimmie With
erspoon sings an eight-beat infa-
ton blues, MONEY GETTING
CHEAPER.
POPULAR VOCALS: - Ella
Fitzgerald is such a marvellous
singer that it seems shameful to
waste her talents on such tripe
as MY HAPPINESS and TEA
LEAVES, her new Decca. On
the same label the Mills Brothers
have a soft and pleading pair,
BABY DON'T BE MAD AT NE
and 1 COULDN'T CALL MY
BABY, the latter more rhythmic.
