Mj||erDemands Action
On Direct Admissions
To St. EIizabeths
Asks Mason to Have
Bill to Ease Crowding
Drafted immediately
By Miriom Gutenberg

Immediate action to get a bill
permitting chronic mental pa
tients to bypass Gallinger Hos
pital and 60 direct to st. Eliza
beths Hospital was demanded
today by Chairman Miller of the
House District Subcommittee on
Health, Education and Recrea-
ton.
DR.. Miller got Commissioner Guy
Mason out of meeting this morn
ing to request that bill be drafted
Immediately.
The subcommittee chairman went
to work on the bill after reading
an article in The Sunday Star
headed "a Study in Futility," which
disclosed that although there was
general agreement on simple
amendment to make direct admis-
sions to ST. Elizabeths possible
District officials had done nothing
about it.
The article reported that earh

promised action within 48 hours
AS of yesterday, however, the pos
sibility of such an amendment hac
never been presented to the Boarc
of Commissioners and Corporation
Counsel Vernon West had not beer
asked to draft the legislation.
DR.. Miller said Commissioner
Mason told him he would have Mr.
West get to work on the proposed
amendment today.
I'm going to call Mr.. West myself
tomorrow to find out how far he has
gotten" DR.. Miller said. I'm going
to keep after this until l get that
draft"
DR.. Miller said he told the Com
missioner if he didn't get action
from the District Building, he would
have the Capitol's bill drafters get
to work on it.
He preferred. he said, to have
the draft come from the District
Building.
I'm surprised the Commissioners
haven't even made move to get
permission under the law to send
patients direct to st. Elizabeths,

ager, but we'll be better. At
least we'll do better against
Democratic pitching. I doubt if
anybody who doesn't hit at least
500 will have a chance of break
ing into our lineup. That shows
the difference between the Yanks
and us. I understand they had
a few 300 hitters in the lineup"
One of the most prolific Re-
publican swatsmiths probably
will be Representative Thor C.
'rollefson of Tacoma, WASH. who
has the records to prove he av-
eraged $40 while playing the
infield for the University of
Washington nine.
Thor looks pretty good"
Bishop agreed, "but we're try
ing to bring him up. A few ses-
sions of batting practice should
do it."
Representative Francis Case
of South Dakota is another ace

ing bell. Case is a veteran OF

came to bat five times, got on

Sawyer Sees No Sign
OF Condor Dis|oya|ty
By the Associoied Press

Charles Sawyer, in his first news
conference as Secretary of Com

reasonable grounds for believing the
disloyalty of Dr.. Edward U. Condor
head of the Bureau of Standards
Mr.. Sawyer at the same time
disclosed that DR.. Condor has vol

with respect to atomic energy for

Condor will continue that course
Mr.. Sawyer said, until the Atomic
Energy Commission has completed
a review of the clearance it earlier
gave DR.. Condor for access to GER
tain restricted atomic information
DR.. Condor has been declared by
House Subcommittee on Un-
American Affairs to be "one of the

count on Case to get on base

Representative Harold c. Ha-

Demands
New Hard Coal
10
Union Leader Asks
Wage Conferences
To Stort May 20
BY the Associoted Press

John L. Lewis today gave hard
coal operators a 60-day notice of
intention to end the United Mine
Workers contract covering 10000
anthracite miners.
Mr.. Lewis told the producers he
wants a new contract for the UNIV
by July 10. He asked for wage con-
ferences to begin May 20, unless a
later date is mutually agreed on.
The nard coal industry has been
operating since 1916 under a con-
tract carrying no termination date,
but allowing either party to give 80
days notice of termination When-
ever desired.
BY giving go days notice, Mr.
Lewis apparently was conforming to
Taft-Hartley Labor Act require
ment that party wanting to end
an agreement allow that much time.
Soft Coal Talks Set.
Mr.. Lewis gave similar notice on
April 80 to the soft coal operators,
whose contract expires June 30.
The bituminous contract negotia-
tions are to begin May 18 here.
Mr.. Lewis made no recommends
ton where to hold the hard coal
negotiations, but usually they are
held in New York City.
Mr.. Lewis said in a letter te
Ralph E. Taggart, chairman OF
Anthracite Operators Committee
In order to properly, and in an
overall sense, give due notice in q
manner which will meet all require
ments of the situation, you are
hereby officially advised that the
United Mine Workers of America
international union and districts
l, 7 and 9, requests a joint con-
ference of the accredited repre-
sentatives of the joint contracting
parties for the purpose of nego-
tiating new arrangements affecting
wages, hours. rules, practices, diff
ferentials, inequalities, compensa-
ton and occupational disease laws
welfare, health, safety and all
other pertinent matters appertain-
ing to the anthracite industry.
Suggestions Invited.
ut is the purpose and intent of
this notice that the effective date
of the successor contract should be
not later than July 10, 1948, and, in
the light of the facts mentioned
herein, conferences between the
parties, in conformity with the pro-
visions of the 1946 agreement,
should commence May 20, 1948, un-
less later date is otherwise
mutually agreed upon in a manner
which will meet all contractual and
other requirements. and fully pro-
tect and reserve the rights of said
parties to the 1916 agreement"
Illustrating the difference in re-
lations between Mr.. Lewis and the
anthracite operators and his stormy
dealings with the much larger soft
coal industry, Mr.. Lewis told the
hard coal mine owners I'VE will be
glad to have your answer or sug-
gestions in the premises"
The bulk of the hard coal mines
are in Eastern Pennsylvania.
There was no advance indication
of what the contract demands
would be.
