 Magnuson was commenting on statements made by Willis Batch eller, Seattle civil engineer who is promoting a railroad project.
 Batcheller, in a recent news paper interview confidentially forecast that the defense depart ment in Washington would pres ently have introduced a bill ap- propriating large funds for rail- road to be built north of Prince George, B. C., to Alaska.
 Magnuson said he thought the engineer was completely mistak- en.

WASHINGTON, -(P)-John L. Lewis today asked soft coal oper- ators to meet with him May Is to negotiate a new contract.
 The United Mine Workers pres ent contract expires June 30.
 Lewis said in letters to all coal companies and associations which had signed the current agreement last July that he is ready to start negotiations in the Shorham Hotel, Washington, May IS at 10 am.
 He said the meeting would be flor the purpose of negotiating a successor contract" to the pres ent one.
 The UNIV chief pointed out that the present contract pledges the parties to attend any confer enceS under terms of the agree ment.
 The letter was labeled Notice and was dated April 30. The Taft Hartley Act requires that either party to a labor agreement, desir- ing to end that agreement, must give notice so days before ending the contract.
 Lewis apparently was observing that provision, since his contract with the operators expired June 30.
 There was no advance indica- ton directly from Lewis on the na- ture of the demands he would make of the operators for the new contract.
