Europe Digs More Coal
(New York Times


 Two things above all Europe must have to restore balanced economy of sef-support-food and coal There are signs if improving crop conditions. In ground beyond the danger of late frost In England orchards are in bloom. Now definite word of an equal recovery coal production, with shortages nearing an end It is the most cheering news from Europe since the war, for these two factors are the pillars which support the entire economic super structure of the Continent.
 In both cases an unexpected and heavy ccn- is estimated that lesened domestic heat requirements have saved Europe l000OC00 of coal This means that by the end of July ican begin to cut down cur own export of coal saving Europe an cxhausting drainage of hard-to-ge dollars Under the European Recovery Plan we had allocated i3,500000 tons of hard coal the sixteen nations represented in the Marshall Plan. The Coal Committee of the Economic Commission now says not more than 9000000 tons of this will be needed at expected industrial levels and urges that American imports be restricted to that amount
 France and Poland already producing beyond their pre-war peaks. England, though it has not yet reached pre-war levels has 12000 000ton stock pile and is more exporting considerable and expanding scale. The bottleneck is still in Germany; for though production there has improved, metal lurgical coke from the Ruhr, which European dustry largely depends remains in short supply. New ertheless the lo-Amercan zone has offered to n crease exports this vital commodity by 45 per cent Europe still needs to raise it's coal output. It will require more than prewar production former standards of living. But with good luck and goodwill even that seems possible within the next four years.

NO RATIFICATION YET

The conflict between Forrestal and Symington finally got under the skin of Senator Wayne Morse, outspcken Oregon Republican.
 ."We have to get the Chiefs Of Staff to agree on a unification pro gram for total national defense" he reminded the defense chiefs, and now the air force is going in one direction and the army in an- other and the navy in another. am not convinced that you know exactly what you are doing"
 "Unification is something that sn't going to be accomplished by waving a wand" shot back Torres tai. There is no miracle involved. It will take & long, long time"
 Then he added We are in the process now"
 Y understand that" persisted Morse, but you want us to pass some legislation which in my opin- ion we don't have prayers chance Of passing in this combined legis- laticn. If you think we can bring out of the committee a bill com bining UNIT or the draft, you're licked before you even get start cd"
 Even Chairman Gurney chimed in his agreement.
 As long as Senator Morse has brought this subject up,' he declar- ed. T will lay this on the line also, that I agree with him com- pletely You cannot have these bills in one package unless you all pull in the same direction"
 The only other objection was raised by Georgia Democrat Dick Russell, who rebelled against a proposal to build more B-29 Super forlresses.
 We are getting ready to spend a lot of money On a lot of obso- late equipment" he fumed. T am very apprehensive that hy the time the Russians get the bomb we will wake up here with a lot of equip ment that we have purchased at tremendous expense that will be ob- solete"

s11,ooo,oOO,ooo FOR ELECTIONS

In one legislative day, the American Congress disposed neatly of $11 with almost no trouble at all It gave final approval to the omnibus foreign aid bill tctaling about $6lOo0OO000 And it passed over the veto the tax reduction bill amounting to $4 so0000O0o The gross drain the United States Treasury stsmmng from this combination of measures comes to Sl0 100000
 There's no use in pretending that know what such figures mean Those astronomical sums are dii- fcult to visualize save relation to other statistics of similar magnitude. But it is worth noticing that s1l coo 900 is more than the total annual expendi tlre of the American Government in any fiscal year up to le41 On the other hand. it is only about }
 r cent of the gross annual production of the country 1t it's present tempo.
 The cync will find amusement in the obserVa- ton that the item, sepresented by tax reduction is in some degree an attempt to win an American election while the other item, the larger one is an attempt to win whole series of elections in Europe and elsewhere. Whatever the complex of purposes which animated legislators they really did big days work in terms of making friends and influencing people The income tax of virtually every family Ill the United States was frightened And the goods to De bought with the S6l0000oO0o of foreign relief will be spread among countries with aggregate popula- ten of 650000000.

Changing Their Fur .
Cincinnati Enquirei)


 1t may be worth noting that two public figures who regarded by their enemies, at least, as being pro-Soviet have begun to change their tunes little They are Sen. Claude E. Pepper of Florida and Harold J. Lask the British political economist. The remarks the latter of far importance for Senator Pepper in effect has only observed that the Russians have attempted to block our efforts to keep world peace. Up to now the Senator would have one believe that the United States and Britain were "ganging up" on the Russians.
 Professor Laski, who frequently has been severely critical of the attitude of the three western powers toward the Soviet Union since the now points to several grave mistakes" made by the Russians, not ably the recent Czechoslovaka and the pressure tactics in Italy The greatest of these he feels how ever. Russa's failure to come in on the Marshall Plan He believes that this decision showed dipo matic weakness on the part of Molotov for which there is justification" He only attribute their tactics at the moment with respect to Italy and the Scandinavian countries gathering rosebuds while they may inasmuch as the United States can take little positive action until after the November elections
 These opinions when considers their source, cannot be lightly overlooked They reflect what many of the all too few of less panicky commentators world affairs have been saying right along. It may be inferred from Professor Laskis remarks, all of which are not quoted here that the in the Krenlin in just much of dither are only they preserving greater outward calm.

'DYive-In''
 Goal Mine
By HERB LITTLE


 POCAHONTAS, Va.-This little coalfield community is the site of Americas only drive-in coal mine the Pocahontas exhibition mine.
 The lure the underground holds for almost everyone has attracted an estimated 100000 tourists to the mine since it's passages were opened to the public 10 years ago More than a few of the visitors have heen coal industry people on a "busman's holiday"
 Visitors can drive their automo- liles through. the mine or walk through with a guide. Exhibits in- side show every step in modern coal production.
 The show mine is maintained by the Pocahontas Operators Associa- ticn, which owes its existence to the man who first decided this was a good place to dig coal.
 Opened in 1883, the mine was the first to tap the rich PocahontaA bi- luminous field. This field has pro- duced more than billion tons Of coal in the past 65 years. It spreads over three southern West Virginia counties and one in Virginia.
 The Association estimate about 5000 people tour the show mines every month. In it's lighted tunnels, they see the Pocahontas No. coal seam which runs to a height of as much as 10 feet in some places.
 Equipment in working position shows modern steps in mining. Wis itors also see how in the sweat-and- muscle days before cutting machines the miner had to lie on his side and with a pick hack a "kerf' to a depth of about six feet into the seam.
 Outside the mine, the tourist can visit a preparation plant and tipple where the coal is processed and load ed into railroad cars for the haul to market.
 No coal has been dug in the ex- hibition mine since around the turn of the century, but the Association estimates the field which got it's start here still has about four bil- lion tons left to be mined.

 You can't Win 6 war with TO groups, but you can prevent the enemy from winning with 70 groups"
 On the other hard, Spaatz warn ed, Forrestals proposal for only 55 groups would leave the country dangerously shorthanded
 Senator Ed Robertson, Wyoming Republican, suggested that the committee would need more infor- nation to sell a 70-group air force io the pablic Symington snapped back that the public was already sod on it.
 We want to be sure the people are not oyer-sold, broke in Chair man Chan Gurney of South Da- kcta. who has echoed Forrestal.
 Symin2ton pointed out that the

 Note 1-Later, Army Secretary Kenneth Royall told the Armed Services Committee that a TO- group air fierce might be neces- sary in case of immediate danger, but that universal training would be more valuable in the long-range view. Under questioning, he con- tradicted some of the storm warn ings his own department has been putting out and testified that he saw no immediate probability of war

 We said thrc5 years ago that your air force was going to heil, we said it again two years ago and we say this year that it is go- ing to hell" blistered Symington. "We say this year that TO matter how you try to fix it, you are not going to have an adequate air force by the time the Russians have the bomb. It is too late"
 Catching the iull glare of For restsl's whitening glare, he tact fully added
 "Mr. Forrestal said We could say what we felt
 Tt is >true," Symington contin- usc. that we testified for universal military training. We did that betore We knew the air force was .oing to be cut. We felt it would be a 7o-group program
 Virginia'S Senator Harry Byrd sked whether that meant Syming- ton considered a 70-group air force more important thah universal training.
 Yes. sir" he shot back, and gan so farther than that. l think il is the most important thing that has been presented to this committee from the standpoint Of military preparedness"

Experts hit new housing stall

"Chlcago's building record last year was far
below that of leading cities throughout the coun-
try, and figures for the early months of this
year indicate that the 1948 total may even fall
below the poor record of 1947"
IN 1910. according to Housing Co-ordinator
Mumford, there was one dwelling for each a
people. By 1945, the ratio had become one
home for each Z people.
And city officials cringe when they are re-
minded of the one bright hope that cleaned

The temporary deadlock came
over attempts of the company to
rip the heart out of the contract
previously held by he union. But
the union emerged with all the
gains made in previous contracts,
plus a straight 11-cents -an-hour
across the board.
THIS powerful, militant DEM

suited in complete victory" said
Gerald Fielde, FEE director for
Harvester.
"The company was forced TO
abandon its attempt to emascu-
late the previous contract, as
was its announced intention.
Unlike certain other unions in

step backward against the best
interests of IFS members. despite
