HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 21-tR- Hollywood still believes in Santa Claus and it seems that San Fran cisco does too
 The establishment Of the Santa Claus Foundation geographically centered at North Pole, seven miles from Fairbanks, Alaska, was an- nounced last night by Eddie Brack- en, one of a number CT sc-crs sup porting the project
 The Foundations main aim will be to answer letters to Santa Claus and whenever possible to send gifts to underprivileged children.
 San Francisco will be the actual headquarters for the nonprofit cor poration, to be directed by a board consisting of five prominent resi- dents of the Bay area.
 H0llywO0ds Role
 Hollywood's role is one of moral and financial support from such luminaries as Bracken, Jack Car son, Dennis Morgan, Virginia Mayo, Michael O'Shea, Donald OConnor, Jackie Coogan Barry Sullivan Janis Paige, Dick Haynes and others
 The board is composed of Gladys Byrd Davis and Mrs. Theodore Swanson, San Francisco philan- thropists; Frank J. Cayting, Ma tional Director of U. s. Junior Chamber of Commerce.; John J. Davis, insurance man; and Charles D'Y. Elkus. attorney. Mrs. Davis is president of the board
 Bracken said the organization is based on the belief that the spirit ual regeneration of children all over the world is strong force for peace.
 ITO see that all poor kids will get a present at Christmas seems Ike a dream, but we ultimately are going to try to do just that" he added.
 Service For Needy
 San Francisco will serve as a guinea pig for the first year and gifts of the Santa Claus Founda- tion will be confined to needy children specified by service groups in the Bay area.
 However, letters from children all over the world will be answer ed if sent to North Pole head quarters.
 A number of toy manufacturers have pledged their support and a series of benefits will be put on by the actors. A softball game Nov. ' in Oakland will start the bene- fits. Morgan and Carson will head the teams.
 Hollywood Olympics in December are also planned to boost the pro- ject.
 Toy Train Planned
 Next year the Foundation hopes to have top train tour the na- ton. picking up used toys for kids overseas. Toys donated by manufacturers will go to children in this country.

 Incl WASHINGTON. The record of

WASHINGTON The record ot Congress during recent years is not unlike the present garbled pol itics of the country. Party lines have been cut. Republicans some times voted with Democrats; some Democrats lined up with Republi- cans.
 This will probably continue. It will probably also be true that Dewey will get as much support from certain Democrats as he will from some Republicans. On inter- national issues-now probably the most important before Congress it is certain that most Democratic Senators will give him more back ing than such isolationists as Brooks of Illinois, Dworshak of Idaho, or Robertson of Wyoming. In fact, the irrepressible. lovable Congressman John Taber has al- ready served notice that the COP isolationists are planning to give brother Dewey a rough time on two issues--economy and internation- al cooperation.

(By The Associated Press)

French strikers, egged on by Com munist union bosses, spread anarchy in the French coal fields. Ten colleries were flooded and one set afire because the Reds wouldn't al- low maintenance. Strikers dug in behind barricades to battle govern ment efforts to seize the pits.
 About 10000 troops are in the south central fields, where the trou- ble is the worst. French fuel stocks were low as the 335,000 coal miners were in their third week of strike a walkout which the communists hope will cripple the Marshall plan.

$193,ooo E SUM ASKED,
 J5( ACTION
Damages Alleged Caused by BoYlofting, Picket
 ing of Local Plant

The filing of an action in tho District Court at Juneau, by Juneau Spruce Corporation against the In- ternational Lcngshoremen and Warehousemen's Union (CIO) and its Juneau. Alaska, Local No l6. for $l93,000 in damages allegedly caused by picketing and boycott ting was revealed today by Free man Schultz, manager of the Cor poration in Juneau.
 MT. Schultz received the fonow- ing statement from Henry F. Chaney, President of the Corpora ton. who resides at Portland. Ore gon:
 Since April 10 Q. u.is year our mill at Juneau has been picketed and our lumber subject ed to an unlawful boycott by the Longshoremen because our company refused to take the jobs of loading our barges away from our employees, members of the International Woodworkers of America. and sign an unlawful contract with the Longshore- men. This fact was admitted under oath in recent hearing in Juneau.
 We do not enjoy bringing lawsuits. especially when they arse from controversies with any segment of organized labor, but in this case we have no other alternative. Despite the plain terms or the law our mill at Juneau has been forced to close twice, the first time because our employees were threatened and intimidated and therefore refused to cross the picket-line: the second time because our dock was so cloeged with lumber we could not unload due to the strangle- hold of the Longshoremen ill West Coast ports. There is limit to the injury we can suffer without asking redress, and after more than six. months of this unlawful conduct that limit has been reached.
 "Theye are only two simple issues to this affair. The first is whether an employer and the union lawfully representing his employees may safely deal to- gether on all jobs in plant. or must be subjected to the illegal whim of any union that wants to muscle in and take the jobs over. The second issue is wheth- CT the Longshoremen, headed by Mir. Bridges. are above the law. Although we filed charge with the NLRB months ago we have had no answer to either ques- tion. It is for that reason we have filed this action in the courts, where we intend to press it with the utmost vigor.'
 The case will be tried in the U. s. District Court ill Juneau, and will be heard before jury. Faulkner, Banfield and Boocheyer are representing the plaintiff in the action.
 This morning summons were served on officials of the Local No. Is, President Earland Pearson and Secretary Alex Laiti.

High Court Sustains
Negro Vote in South
BY me Assoeiotsd Press

The Supreme Court in effect to-
day upheld a decision that Negroes
have the right to vote in Demo-
cratic primaries in South Carolina.
That decision was returned by the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in Richmond. 1t was ap-
pealed by party officials Of Rich
land County, S. c. They asked the
Supreme Court to review and re-
verse the decision. They contended
the Democratic party in South
Carolina is "a voluntary political
association which can exercise un-
restricted choice Of membership"
The Supreme Court announced
merely that it would not review the
lower court findings. The effect OF
this is to let the findings stand.
The circuit court decision said:
mo election machinery can be
upheld II its purpose or effect is to
deny the Negro. on account of his
race or color, an effective voice in
the Government of his country or
the State or community wherein he
lives"
The Richland County party
officials told the Supreme Court
that the Democratic Party in
South Carolina is not regulated by
State law and primary elections
are conducted merely under party
rules. They argued that the Cir
cult Court had no right to act in
the case because there was no
State action involved, and the pri-
mary was not required by law and
was not an election"

American MPs Make
Reds Release Woman
BY the Associotsd Press

VIENNA, Austria. April ia
Soviet attempt to kidnap a stateless
German woman in the American
zone of Vienna led to a clash today
between American and Russian mill
tary police.
The woman, identified as Elsa
Pfef1er, was wrested from the Rus
slams and released over their pro-
test. The incident was the most
serious involving the two police
forces since the start of the four

American military police resorted

had been taken to the United States

fused to leave their automobiles.
Capt. Kooshin, deputy Russian
provost marshal for Vienna, was
placed under temporary arrest for
"countermanding the orders given
by an American officer in an Amer
ican district, and melting a riot"
This kidnapping took place near the
Kahlenberg, a castle in the Vienna
woods overlooking the city. The
woman had left the displaced per-
sons camp at Cobenzy, former

She said later she was forced into

Surprised at Verdict,
Miners May Refuse
To Work Tomorrow
Union Officials Cautious
But Disappointment OF
Workers Is Evident

Coal miners who belong to
John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers apparently received
with surprise today word of the
union chiefs conviction of con-
tempt of court and some imme-
diately indicated they would
leave the mines in protest.
First indication Of a new strike
came from the Frostburg, Md. area,
where, the Associated Press re-
ported, miners working today de-
clared they will not report tomor-
row, the day Mr.. Lewis will hear
the penalty assessed against him
and his union.
Most of the miners in that area
apparently expected favorable de-
cision and there was no hiding their
disappointment. Many declared:
We won't take it
But union officials were adopting
more cautious attitude. At the
Cumberland headquarters OF the
UNIV, which includes the F'rostburg
area mines, David Watkins, veteran
international union representative,
refused to say more than that the
miners do their own thinking"
At Pittsburgh, John P. Busarello,
president of UMW's District 5, said:
No comment this morning. Let S
wait until tomorrow
The head of UMW's District 3 at
Greensburgh. Pa, Frank Hughes,
told the Associated Press:
mo comment. About all our men
are back at work"
A SPOKESMAN for one UNIV local
which was still idle commented:
Il don't know what will happen
now. We're not working yet and 1t
looks as if We won't
This ominous note could indicate
a renewal of the walkout-ruled by
Justice T. Allan Goldsborough today
to have been a strike" Up to this
morning it had been estimated that
more than two-thirds of the 400, ,O0c
striking miners had returned to their
Jobs. following the instructions last
Monday of Mr.. Lewis. He told them
to end their voluntary cessation OF
work after he had won for them
s1oO monthly pensions, The pension
issue touched off the strike March
Is.
There was, a widespread fear
among industrialists, before today S
court decision. that all of the miners
would walk out again if Mr.. Lewis
and the union were found guilty and
assessed a large penalty.

it would be better to have no ex-

If the Commissioners put into

Their idea is to have the pro-
gram here supervised" by a special
committee of District department
chiefs, headed probably by a repre-

But the actual work of checking
the actions and alegiances of the

It was Commissioner John Russell
Young who first suggested, on April

ploves by the District Government
itself might be necessary. He
reached that conclusion after being
informed by the Civil Service Com
