Special Boards
Report Blames
Lewis for Strike
UNIV Chiefs Letter
Indicates He's Reudy
For Court Fight
By jones Y. Newtor,

President Truman today in
structed Attorney General Clark
to apply for a Federal court In
junction against the 20-day-old,
Nation wide soft coal strike.
The court action, to be taken
under the Taft-Hartley Act pro-
cedure for dealing with a national
emergency" will not be taken before
Monday, a Justice Department
spokesman said.
Mr.. Truman acted after making
public a report of his special board
OF inquiry into the coal industry
pension dispute. The report placed
responsibility for the strike solely
on the shoulders of John L. Lewis,
chief of the United Mine Workers.
Less than an hour earlier. Mr..
Lewis had paved the way for the
court battle with the Government
by telling his 100000 miners that
whether they return to work or not
is problem for them to decide as
individuals.
Truman and Clark Confer.
The President conferred with Mr..
Clark shortly after returning from
two-day trip to Williamsburg.
Va. during which he studied the
coal crisis. After the conference.
the White House announced the
Attorney General had been told to
apply for the injunction, which, IL
issued and obeyed by the mine
workers, would stay the strike for 80
days.
A Justice Department aide said
the work OF preparing necessary
papers and documents supporting
the injunction petition would make
it impossible to go to court today.
There was the possibility. too, that
strike-resisting action may be asked
in number of Federal courts as
well as in the District Court here.
That would make possible q more
complete breakdown on the strike,
reaching out into the coal fields.
Mr.. Lewis, In his letter today to
all officers and members Of the
UNIV. again disclaimed any re-
sponsibility personally or on the
part of the union for the strike.
Not Independent Action.
The board of inquiry report, blarl-
ing Mr.. Lewis individually for caus-
ing the walkout, stated:
1--WE find independent action was
taken by the president Of the United
Mine Workers of America in the
form of communications to the
officers and members of the United
Mine Workers of America which
induced them to take concerted
action to stop work in all the mines
of the operators signatory to the
agreement of July 8, 1947."
The report added:
I'VE find the stoppage was not
independent action by miners acting
individually and separately.
Their stoppage has precipitated
a crisis in the industry and in the
Nation as a whole" .
The report declared that it was
more than coincidence" that the
walkout followed the miners re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr.. Lewis
who told them on March IL that the
pension fund agreement had been
dishonored by the operators"
Board Headed by Minton.
''Tfe stoppage of work follows
so closely upon the receipt Of the
letter as to constitute cause and
effect" the report said
The inquiry board was headed by
Federal Judge Sherman Minton.
The other members were DR.. George
w. Taylor, former chairman of the
War Labor Board, and Mark r.
Etheridge. Louisville, publisher. The
report was concurred in by the three
board members.

Income Tax Increase
Forecast if Security
Demands Action
Martin and Knutson Agree
Steps Must Be Token
To Keep Budget BoIoneed
BY the Assoeioted Press

Some 52,0oo,o taxpayers,
now figuring how to use s4,800.-
100000 they got in tax relief,
were put on notice today to ex-
pect a swift tax boost If national
security demands it.
The tax cut was put into law yes
terday when Congress, by an over
whelming vote, overrode President
Trumanis veto. The President had
said this reduction in Federal rev.
enues would undermine the sound
ness of our Government finances at
a time when world peace depends
upon the strength of the United
States"
Mr.. Truman was in Williamsburg,
Va. when Congress took final &C
tion. The President told reporters
he had no comment. He said he
had had his say in his veto mes
sage.
Disputing Mr.. Truman's argu-
ments agains the tax cut, House
Speaker Martin said:
IF defense needs increase be-
yond what has been outlined. we
would, OF course, take any neces-
sary steps to keep balanced budget.
The Congress will provide adequate
funds which, II properly spent, will
give us full protection"
No Deficit Spending.
And Representative Knutson, Re-
publican, of Minnesota, author of
the tax-slashing BILL added:
Should an emergency develop
the Congress will take such steps as
are necessary because we do not
propose to tolerate return to
deficit spending. I want to assure
the country that, when 1t becomes
necessary to INCREASE taxes in order
to maintain a balanced budget, in
creases will be made without delay
"We will cross that bridge wher
we come to it,"
In the showdown between Con-
gress and the President yesterday
the House passed the tax cut, 81 te
$50 more than the two-thirds
majority required to override Q
veto. The Senate rang up a Tito.
10 vote-19 to spare.
DESERVING the President to vott
for the Republican backed bill were
80 House Democrats and 27 Senate
Democrats.

THE LETTER BOX
Editor The Herald:

Editor The Herald:
In your Freezing items last
week, Adam Kendrick and Frank
lin Hill were quoted as saying
that they had recently noticed a
large formation of sucker fish
proceeding up Pine Creek.
Since I witnessed the exodus
Of the fish from the river and in
to the creek, and since the re-
port underestimate the matter,
l beg to advise that the fish were
not suckers, that part of them
were what is known locally as
horny-heads and hog-mollys and
the others were strange fish to
me, something on the order of
horny-heads, but not of that type.
There must have been at least
500 of the fish, from 10 to II in
ches in length. They did not APP
pear to be migrating, but rath-
er looking for beds of gravel in
which to nest. I noticed many of
them burrowing partly under
piles of gravel in deep pools.
It was an unusual and inter-
esting sight to me, because of the
unusually large number of fish
and because I am fisherman
and deeply interested in wildlife
Of all sorts.

DID YOU HAVE YOUR
DOG VACCINATED

At meeting of the board of
supervisors two or three months
ago, an ordinance was passed re
curing that all dogs in the coun-
ty be vaccinated against rabies
by the last of May. Students in
the various agriculture classes
throughout the county were en-
listed to aid in the vaccination,
and they made sets at various
points throughout the county for
that purpose.
It is said that in parts of the
county dog owners co-operated
Fundamentally in the program
by bringing out their dogs for
vaccination, while in other parts
they did not.
Dog owners are now being adj
vised that the board of supervis-
ors had authority to pass such an
ordinance and to fix a penalty for
those who fail or refuse to have
their dogs vaccinated. The board
fixed the penalty at $1,000 and
costs and it is certain thta those
who fail to do their part in this
move for the good of the whole
country will be in court to ans
wer charges of failing to obey
the ordinance.
