LEWIS:
Lost and Fined

All things considered, John L.
Lewis came away from his brush
with the government in fairly good
shape-suffering only relatively
minor abrasions of the pocketbook.
For ignoring a federal order to end
the soft coal strike that began March
Is over a pension dispute, Lewis was
convicted by Federal Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough of criminal contempt
of court. AS punishment Judge
Goldsborough imposed a 500, 1000 fine
on Lewis personally and fined his
United Mine Workers union a total
of IA million dollars.
It was almost a verbatim re-en-
actment Of the Lewis-G oldsborough
drama of 1916 when the judge fined
Lewis $4,000 and the union 3.5 mil
lion dollars for contempt.
This time, however, Judge Colds
borough wanted to be tough. He
wanted to give Lewis a jail term but
refrained from doing so upon advice
from Lne SONSEnLLSAlIJ ShSA PAoSS
cutor in the case.
Nevertheless, he deplored the gov
ernment's policy of 'expediency"
which dictated that the mine chiefs
punishment should be limited to a
fine and that he should not be given
a Jail sentence because that would
make a martyr Of him in the eyes
of the miners.
It was a bad spot for Lewis-per-
hans the worst of his career Not
only had he failed to beat the Taft
Hartley act and been forced to &C.
cept terms far short of his original
demands in settlement of the pension
DISPUTE, but he also had put his
UNIV treasury IA million dollars In
the hole.
And now, If the miners continued
to stay away from work in protest
against the punishment, the govern.
ment retained a powerful weapon II
could WELD. The Taft-Hartley IN
junction against them still was pend
ing.

A.WEAPON:
BingO!

Another batch Of atoms has been
exploded on the sea-girt wastes Of
Eniwetok ato1 in the far western
Pacific.
In the words Of the U. S. atomic
energy commission, the event
marked the successful completion of
an atomic weapon" There was no
further description of the sixth
known atomic explosion in world
history; but, as always in the case
of applied nuclear physics, the ele-
ment of mystery involved was at
least as awesome as specific knowl-
edge Of the instrument might be.
At this stage, the situation between
U. S. and Russia was not unlike a
popular American game Of chance.
Democracy had just completed a row
of numbers on its card; and in the
u. S. announcement of a newsatomie
weapon kibitzers around the world
could hear a loud cry of "Bingoi"

A substantial balance in the
church treasury was reported
but there was a definite feel

being needed for undermining
both the parsonage and the

She retains his name but never mentions him.
Her single minded adherence to Com

the accoutrements of power. She lives in
the fashionable Parcu Filipescu district in
two-story villa with high wall, garden and
needle showers. She also has lakeside re-

She now dresses in style to which she was
unaccustomed. She disdains jewelry but has
fallen hard for the New Look, buying trunk
loads of clothes - mostly gray and black
tailored suits and velvet gowns - at around
$4OO apiece. Unlike other Communist lead
ers, she wears her finery freely, whether at
meeting of women factory workers or Red
October celebration.
She rides in chauffeured limousine and

Yesterday was given temporary per-

increase its natral gas deliveries
from Eastern Kentucky and South
ern West Virginia 100000 cubic
feet a day at the Rockville, (MdJ
measuring station, where the con-
cern delivers gas to the Washington

officials of the Washington COM
pany said the move would provide
a new safeguard against a NATURAL
gas shortage here. They added,
however, that no addition to the
lit 100000 cusic feet a day already
expected this winter now is con-
templated.
A lareg part Of the company's gas
comes from Coatesville, Pa, where
it is delivered by the Big Inch pipe
line from Texas. The new supply
probably will be substituted for some
of this gas. it was pointed out.
Construction of the new COM
pressing units is to start immedi-
