previously had asked the court to
appoint d neutral trustee.
The number of workers idle, due
directly or indirectly to the walkout,
passed half million today.
About $1,000 transportation work
ers. mainly railroaders, were jobless
because there was no coal to move.
Most of the other idle were steel
makers, scattered over q dom States.
+ Bands of rowing pickets, riding
automobiles, halted operations at
non-union strip mines in three
States. A half dozen such workings
were shut down in Central West
Virginia. Several strip operators
said they would resume work today,
using armed guards If necessary.
One truck driver said a picket told
him there would be big day"
if operators tried to mine coal.
Other pickets closed two strip
mines in Perry County, Ohio, and
halted operations at a coal-loading
ramp at Cumberland, KY, where a
truck driver was beaten. Several

Truman Asks IS Million
Loan for u. n. BUILDINGS

President Truman today asked
Congress to approve a $65, 200, 600
loan. without interest, to the United
Nations to build permanent head
quarters in New York City.
A White House statement said
the loan would be repaid over a
period of 80 years in annual INSTALL
ments from the regular budget OF
the y. N, to which all its members
contribute. u / -
In asking congressional approval
the President said, "The construc-
ton of the permanent headquarters
of the United Nations will be tangi.
BILE evidence to the world that the
United States Isl supporting to the
full the institution to which thu
peoples of all nations are looking
as their best hope for freedom from
the fear of war"
Congress in December, 1945
adopted the resolution inviting the
United Nations to establish its site
in the United States.
Subsequently, the U. N. General
Assembly decided on New York as
the site and accepted the offer OF
John D. Rockefeller, jr., and New
York City of free gift of land
covering approximately six city
blocks on the East River. Congress
exempted the Rockefeller gift from
Federal taxation and New York
committed itself to the spending OF
about $4,000, 900 for alterations in
the surrounding streets and ap-

At Birmingham William Mitch,

Hard Coal Walkout Spreads.
Besides contending that Justice
McGuire's order abridges the con-
stitutional rights of the miners, the
UNIV petition stated that the order
violated the Taft-Hartley Act and
terms of the soft coal industry con-
tract.
The contract contains a clause
which states the miners will work
when liable and willing"
A part of the Taft-H Hartley Act
states that nothing in the statute
will be construed as compelling an
individual to work against his will.
Meanwhile, the sympathy walkout

Eastern Pennsylvania today, bring
ing the number of idle to at Least

A Federal official revealed that
the Government is considering ad-
vising the court that two of the
major operators have failed to obey
the bargaining part of the MCGUIRE
order. However, no definite de-
cision had been made on that point
The two are Benjamin F. Fairless,
president of the United States Steel
Corp, a large owner of soft coal
mines, and George M. Humphrey,
chairman of the Pittsburgh Consoli-
dation Coal Co., worlds largest COM
mercial producer of coal.
Helped Negotiate Contract.
The two were largely responsible
for negotiating with Mr.. Lewis the
1947 industry contract which pro-
vides for the UNIV welfare and re-
tirement fund, use of which caused
the present strike. Mr.. Lewis said
they more than any one else are
qualified to interpret the 1947 agree
ment by reason of their personal
participation"
The contract called for payment
into the fund by the operators of 10
cents a ton on all coal produced.
The fund now exceeds $32, 900
and has not been touched because
of the dispute over its use. Pen
sions and other benefits to the
miners for disability. death, ETC.,
were to be paid out of the fund.
Mr.. Fairless and Mr.. Humphrey
made it clear that neither in
tended to attend the bargaining
session requested by Mr. Lewis.
They contend that they a did not
sign the 1947 agreement and are
not regular negotiators for the
coal industry. The regular industry
representatives were ready to. at

Briton Calls on Germans
10 Aid Western Powers

DUESSELDORF. Germany, April
7 R.-Gen. Sir Brian Robertson,
British military governor, called on
the German people today to side
with the western democracies in
the war of nerves with the east.
In speech to the German Land
tag Parliament) OF North Rhine
Westphalia, he said:
Come forward determined to
make the best of that large part OF
your country which is on the right
side of the Iron Curtain"
He referred to the western occu-
patton zones, composed principally
of British-American Bizonia. North
Rhine-Westphalia is a British occu-
patton zone state and includes the
industrially rich Ruhr region.
Without mentioning Russia or
communism by name, Gen. Robert
son told the Germans it is less i'm

it is to be good German.

Top AFL Leader 10 Aid
Exchange Strikers
BY the Assoeiofsei Praxx

NEW YORK, April IA top AFL
leader has been called in to direct
the strike strategy of members OF
the United Financial Employees
Union who left their jobs at the
New York Stock and Curb Ex-
changes 10 days ago.
A union spokesman said yesterday
that Frank Fenton, AFL interna-
tional representative, would arrive in
New York today "to actively direct
the strike from here on in at the
invitation of the union and by direc-
ton of AFL President William
Green"
Mr.. Fenton aided the organizing
drive of the financial workers when
he was the AFL's director of
organization.
There was no further spread Of
the strike yesterday. Both ex-
changes reported operations normal.
However, a stock exchange spokes-
man reported a slow back-to-work
movement by the strikers. There
was no comment from the union. a
Despite the rain, pickets continued
their patrol before the exchanges
and the four brokerage firms to
which the strike has spread.
Meanwhile, the trial of II pickets
kon disorderly~condu charges high
tlighted other strikE deyeloplrknts.
fThe pickets were identified byspolice
Fin court Yesterday as members of a
group which took part in a lie-down
demonstration in front of the stock
exchange.
A police lieutenant testified he had
tseen policemen with appraised clubs,
but had seen none strike the demon
strators.

members of the AFL Seamen's
Union who joined the financial

tend, but this was not expected to
satisfy Mr.. Lewis.
The question was whether JUS
tice Mcclure would be satisfied If
the two big men are absent. 1t
was known that the Justice Depart
ment, in drawing up the restrain
ing order, aimed the bargaining
part at Mr.. Fairless and Mr.. Hum
phrey as well as the other opera
tors. That part of the order reads:
Those individual or interests, or
their successors thereto, who have
bargained in behalf of the said
parties operators and miners in
effecting past agreements and in
settling past disputes.
Mr.. Lewis and the operators ex-
changed carefully worded letters
yesterday and last night. The mine
owner representatives, bowling to
the court order, asked Mr.. Lewis
to meet with them yesterday after
noon. Previously they had offered
to bargain If Mr.. Lewis would send
the miners back to work.
Mr.. Lewis fatty rejected yester-
days invitation, however, because
Mr.. Fairless and Mr.. Humphrey
were not to be there. But he
countered with suggestion that
the operators adjust your bargain
ing representation" and attend the
meeting this afternoon.
Van Horn Asks Court Clarification
The operators retorted that Mr.
Lewis was being plainly evasive'
OF the court mandate. They told
the UNIV chief "it is not within
your province or authority to choose
the persons who represent the coal
operators in collective bargaining. -
They agreed to send the eight
men who have been doing the talk
ing in recent weeks, and waited to
see what would happen. Mr.. Lewis
two weeks ago described the eight
as kept" agents of the real in
dustrial leaders. He named six top
persons in the coal world who he
said could settle the pension dispute
swiftly. They included Mr.. Fairless
and Mr.. Humphrey.

notification. The Russians also
conteEded they we're not informed
of the flight.
The Soviet report said the pilot
Of the Russian plane was circling
over his airport at a height of about
l,409 feet and was about to land.
TN this moment q British plane
shot out Of the clouds. over the
Soviet airfield in a downward di-
rection," the Russian report said
"The British plane hit the tail of
the Soviet plane with its motors
and destroyed the tail. The British
plane burst into flames as result
of the collision, began to fall apart,
plunged down out of control and
burned out"
British sources quoted eyewit-
nesses at the time as saying the
Russian plane was "frolicking" when
the fatal crash occurred.
