Department Asks
Less Offensive
Court Opinion

The Justice Department wants
the United States Court of Appeals
to tone down its language in a re-
cent opinion.
The department still is smarting
over the appellate courts observa-
ton in a recent case, involving the
sale of a blast furnace by the War
Assets Administration. The court
commented, at the time, that trans
actions in connection with the sale
ARE surrounded by pervasive and
most offensive odor of skulduggery."
Now the department wants the
court to strike that phrase from its
opinion. Papers asking that this
be done have been filed with the
appellate court.
The court, in its opinion Of Octo-
Der Is, upheld the sale by WAA Of
a blast furnace in Granite City,, ILL.,,
to the Missouri Illinois Furnaces,
Inc, for S3,255000. The Fulton Iron
Co. of Cleveland, which brought ths
suit, commended WAA had raised the

mine union officials were on record
today against John L. Lewis sug-
gestion that President Truman cut
OH Marshall Plan funds to France
to stop the shooting of French

Both Mr.. Green and the French
officials expressed the conviction
that the current strikes in France
are politically inspired to sabotage
the Marshall Plan and embarrass
the government while the United
Nations Assembly is meeting in
Paris.
The United Mine Workers presi-
dent asked Mr.. Green on Wednes-
day to use his influence with Mr..
Truman to bring pressure on the
French government toward feeding
rather than shooting the striking
miners.

French union officials protested
Mr.. Lewis letter was used by Com
munist agitators to further their
aim to bring France under Com
munist control. They wrote that
the miners are better off than other
French workers because they get an
extra food ration, free heating, free
rent, free transportation to work
and other benefits.
After considering the Lewis pro-
posal, Mr.. Green replied in part
that an attempt to place responsible
