Coal Miners Reject Government Offer

ASHING GTON, (P) - The United Mine workers yesterday flatly rejected a government pro- posal for ending the nine-day-old soft coal strike.
 The rejection was made in let ter to Cyrus s. Ching, federal con- ciliation chief, by the three-man UNIV committee which received the government offer Monday.
 John L. Lewis, UNIV president, did not sign the rejection person. ally.
 The committee termed the gov ernment proposal "grotesque."
 Ching's proposal, which was ac- cepted reluctantly" by the mine operators Monday, called for ere ation of fact-finding board to in- vestigate the dispute over miners pensions that touched off the Walkouts.
 However, Lewis would have to send the miners back to work be- fore the plan would go into effect.
 The UNIV committee advised Ching it felt the proposal was made to laid the coal operators, who have dishonored their (work agreement and to further defraud the beneficiaries of the welfare fund.-"
 Therefore, they said, they could not recommend its acceptance by the. mine workers.
 The welfare fund to which the committee referred was set up in the work contract signed by Lewis and the operators last year.
 Ching had told reporters after the offer was made that formal

Defense Heads In Secret Meeting

WASHINGTON, -(P)-The Sen ate armed services committee swung it's weight yesterday behind President Truman's plea for quick steps to build up Americas mili tary forces.
 Chairman Gurney R.-S. D. re- ported that 10 of the committees l3 members already are convinced both a limited draft and universal military training have become an absolute necessity"
 Gurney and nine of his col leagues were the only Senators present during a 50-minute meet ing behind locked doors with sec retary of state Marshall, secretary of defense Forrestal and secretary of army Royall. The group includ- ed Senator Morse of Oregon.
 Most of what the three secre- taries said remained cloaked in complete secrecy. But Gurney did report when the session broke up late Monday:
 1. The United States has drawn no line, and does not intend to draw one, as the final limit for Russian expansion.
 2. There was a great deal of general, rather than specific, dis cussion of the generally critical and more progressively serious situation in Europe"
 Tt is my firm belief that the committee-thoset that were here left the meeting feeling there is an absolute necessity for quick passage of both (the draft and UMD measures, Gurney declar- ed.

Stop-Communisn
 Fight At A Glance
(By The Associated PresS)

(By The Associated PresS) Russia was on fresh notice to- day that the United States means business in its stop-communism stand.
 The White House announcement that the army, rather than the state department, will be in con- trol indefinitely of the American sectors of Germany, Austria and Trieste was regarded as strength ening some of the most important lines to be held against Soviet ex- pansion.
 The curt counter boycott by the U. S., French and British against Russia's walkout of the Allied con- trol council in Berlin showed the Soviets they will have a fight if they want to force the western powers from the German capital. Prestige is at stake.
 Other signs were prospects in Washington of more billions being poured into the national defense bill, growing support for a peace time draft of unmarried men up to 27 and fading opposition to the $6,2O5, 100000 grants for Western Eur ope, Greece, Turkey and China.
 Yugoslavia backed out of her tentative offer to allow Italy to have Trieste if Yugoslayia were given Italian Gorizia. The Italians had spurned the offer since Fri este is not Yugoslavia's but inter- national territory. The Yugoslav foreign ministry spoke of "mis- understanding" to its trial balloon.
 A Russian assertion that France had granted rights on French mili- tary and air bases to the United States was termed absurd in Paris.

World Politics At A Glance
(By The Associated PresS)

(By The Associated PreSS)
 Italy rejected yesterday the Yu- goslav offer to swap Trieste for the Italian town of Gorizia to the north.
 Trieste, of course, is interna- tional territory and is not Yugo- slavia's to barter. The proposal of the United States, Great Britain and France to return Trieste to Italy was believed adverse to the Italian communists, bidding for supreme power in the April 18th elections.
 A foreign office spokesman said:
 'It is clear that Italy cannot ac- cept the separation of a part of Italian flesh bartered for another part of Italian flesh"
 The Italian answer came only a few hours after great throngs roaring "Viva Trieste" welcomed Premier Alcide sde Gasperi and foreign minister Count Carlo Sfor- ga back to Rome.
 The spokesman emphasized that the Italian government had re- ceived no official word of the re- ported proposal regarding Gorizia. He said he was speaking entirely on the basis of press reports.
 Asked what other hopes of treaty revision there was in re- gard to the Italian colonies, the spokesman said:
 "On the part of France, the the sis has been confirmed in the most absolute manner that she wishes to give Italy administration of Eritrea, Somaliland and Libya."
 French officials said foreign minister Georges Bidault and per- haps British foreign secretary Err nest Bevin would go to Washing ton next month to confer with Secretary of State Marshall. How ever, a British foreign office spokesman denied the report. The French sources said the chief top

Tax Slash Bill Certain To Pass

WASHING TON, (F) - The House ways and means committee voted 18 to 5 today to accept the $4, 100000 income tax-cutting bill passed by the Senate.
 The original tax bill passed by the House had called for a cut of S6,5OO, O,OOO,OOO.
 The committee action is subject to House approval. It virtually as- sures that the Senate bill will go to the White House without change.
 House speaker Martin R.-Mass) previously has predicted the House will approve the measure by a more than three to one" vote and send it to President Truman's desk.
 Chairman Knutson R.-MinnD author of the tax -slashing legisla- ton, told reporters:
 "I hope the President will fall in line with the popular demand for tax reduction, and will not veto the bill. If he does veto it, he is sure to be overridden."
 The Senate passed the bill 78 to II.
 "The tax cut is certain. The veto bill will be overridden," Speaker Martin said.

Rep. Peden Wants Alaska Statehood
 Bill Passed Quickly

OP) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P) - It is of the utmost national importance that Congress quickly approve a bill to give Alaska statehood, Rep. Peden D.-OklaJ said yesterday.
 Statehood is necessary for both defense and for development of vast natural resources in that area, he told a reporter. He added
 "We will never develop Alaska, however, until we get people to go there and settle. And the only way to get them there is to give them a voice in the government and the right to own property"
 There is a need to build thriving cities, highways, airports and "all that goes with the development of states" he said.
 He recalled that development of large tracts in the western part of the United States was more rapid after those areas became states.
 Orderly development of Alas ka is absolutely dependent upon Statehood" he said. People who go there are under too many han dicaps now. These include U. s. federal government ownership or control of much of the land and the inability of a citizen to partici- pate in the affairs of a state gov ernment."

House Will Not Fight Aid Bill

WASHINGTON, (P)-Prospects of House fight to cut the S6,205,- 000,000 foreign aid bill faded to- day. AS the measure to pit Ameri- can billions and military help against communism in China and part of Europe rolled into a sec ond days debate, Rep. Jonkman R.-MichD told reporter he is for the full amount.
 In the past, Jonkman has led battles to slash foreign aid pro- grams. He opposed them, he said, because he was against letting the state department handle business matters.
 But the new program, he said, provides for an administrator free of state department control.
 Rep. Lawrence H. Smith R.- Wis.,, who teamed up with Jonk- man for cuts in other bills, said he hasn't made up his mind on this one.
 But members of the foreign af- fairs committee noted that Smith had made no effort to trim the program while the committee was working on it. Both Smith and Jonkman are committee members, and both were scheduled for speeches during today's debate.

Only Two Survive CAY Plane Crash In Washington

WOODLAND, Wash, (P) - A tragic story of how death slowly extended an icy hand against most of the eight men who perished in a CAY plane crash Sunday came today from the isolated mountain crash scene.
 Two men-one with broken leg survived miraculously to bring from the southwest Wash ington mountain area yesterday afternoon the first word of their fate.
 Two others, alive when the pair left the scene, had lost the battle for survival in the snow-covered Wilds before reScuers arrived last night. The survivors said only two of the 10 aboard were killed out right.
 Bodies of the eight were to be brought today from the area where the rnia-to-Portland trans port plane crashed.
 Survivors were Major John B. Harding, Portland, the pilot and Pfc. John M. Belmonte, East Bos- ton, Mass. They are in the Barnes c ener al hospital, Vancouver, Wash. All aboard but two have been identified.
 The two survivors had crawled through several miles of deep snow in the timbered wilderness the pilot with a broken leg-to reach a cabin Monday night. The next morning they called to log gers working nearby.
 Their rescue was the first clue to the whereabouts of the military plane that has vanished Sunday afternoon during a torrential rain storm. The transport was ap- preaching Portland air base for a landing after a flight from Fair field-Suisun base, California.
