Coal Digging Machine
Shows How 10 Triple
Output Of u. ). Mines
BY the Associofsd Press

NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio, Oct. 20.
"A new coal-digging machine that
can gouge out tons and load it
on truck In "a minutes held
promise today of tripling the best
output of the Nations mines.
Named the "Colmol," this giant
gadget chewed into a coal seam at
the Sunnyhill Coal Co. strip mine
two miles north of New Lexington
Wednesday in its first public
demonstration.
With hydro-electric power turn
ing eight huge drills and conveyor
belts removing and loading the
coal at the rear, the Colmol mined
20 tons of coal in less than
so minutes. 81,
Its output apparently is limited
only by the necessity Of moving
the 26-ton machine and the time
used in getting trucks to the con-
veyor belt.
Loads 5-Ton Truck.
First the machine loaded 5-ton
truck with coal in "a minutes.
That is tho daily output of the
average miner working without
machinery.
In less than an hour, the machine
had mined almost as much coal as
the average miner working with
ordinary machinery gets out in a
working day.
The ".colmol" is feet high and
travels on caterpillar treads. It is
powerful enough to chew its own
corridors into a hillside. The drills
or "screwheads," turning different
directions on the front of the ma
chine, look like giant wood screws
with fingers that chew up the coal
The conveyor belt operates be-
low the turning screws, which toss
the broken coal downward for Its
journey to a following truck.
One Operator Sufficient.
The colmol needs only one oper-
ator, but Sunnyhill employees q
guide to inform the driver where
to turn.
The Sunnyhill Coal Co. has been
working for two years on the colmol
It was an idea of Firm President
Clifford Snyder, who once watched
an earth drill and conceived the
idea of expanding the idea into a
giant earthworm coal digger.
| The machine has been tested in
deep shaft mines in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, as well as the
Sunnyhill strip mine used for yes
terday's demonstration.
Mr.. Snyder said he expected to 60
into production of the colmol soon

BY the Assoeiated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2s.-CIO
Marine Engineers in San Francisco
voted 230 to Sc last night to accept
an agreement with employers-in-
terpreted by some as the first real
break in the 58-day-old West Coast
maritime strike. Locals of the same
union in Seattle, Portland and San
Pedro will vote on the agreement
tonight.
Union officers were quick to point
out that the settlement, If accepted,
will not mean any split in the mari
time strike front, however, adding
I'VE do not consider signing the
contract will bind us to cross picket
lines, because under the contract we
can terminate it If we are asked
to cross picket lines"

A 5.3 per cent increase in base
pay, 50-cent-per-hour increase in
wages of relief engineers and an
increase in base overtime to $1.71

he estimated, would give chief en-

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
disclosed today he has ordered a
45-day postponement of a voluntary
grain saving program for the Ma
tons brewers, originally scheduled
to go In effect tomorrow.
An exchange Of correspondence
with brewer representatives released
by the department revealed that the
industry sought postponement until
the Secretary had an opportunity
to ascertain the intentions Of other
grain using industries
While neither side mentioned the
failure of the administration to get
congressional action on compulsory
grain rationing program for distil-
lers, aides of Mr.. Anderson said that
was an important factor in the
brewers decision to staves off their
agreement.
The brewers agreement had been
worked out under the framework OF
Public Law 1876 (the Republican
Anti Imitation Act) and was the f1rst
to be formally approved by Attorney
General Clark. 1t called for brewers
to reduce total grain use by Is per
cent, banned use of wheat and
table-grade rice and reduced use OF
barley.

Bill for Registration
'0f All Communists
Yearly Filing Required
| Of Party and Fronts With
Full List Of Members
By the Assoeioted Press

A plan to require registration
with the Government of the
Communist Party and all its
members today was approved by
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities.
Representative Mundt, Republi-
can, of South Dakota told reporters
the committee agreed unanimously
to amend bill designed to curb
Reds by including the party regis
tration provision.
Previously, the bill provided only
for registration of Communist-front
organizations.
Under the amended bill, every
Communist or front organization
would have to register each July
with the Justice Department. The
organization would have to supply
the names and last known ad.
dresses of all persons who were
members during the preceding cal
endar year.
Mr.. Mundt said the committee
also formally okayed parts of the
bill that would:
Make 1t illegal for any member
of Communist organization to hole
any nonelective job in the Govern.
ment or run for an elective onice

Brewery Groin-S Saving Program
DELAYED as Days by Anderson

with the department "on the as
sumption that other grain-using in
dustries would enter into equally
effective agreements under Public
Law 1896, which has not happened
to date
Mr.. Anderson replied that he was
reluctant to postpone the program
but said he had agreed only because
the industry continued to operate
under a less-stringent conservation
program worked out last fall by the
old Citizens Food Committee.
Mr.. Anderson announced last
night the Attorney General had ap-
proved voluntary agreement with
the baking industry. This calls for
reducing to a minimum the con-
signment selling of bread and other
bakery products.
The Government proposes to pro-
hibit the return OF stale bakery
products in excess of per cent OF
gross sales during any calendar
month. Wholesale bakeries also are
requested to limit inventories OF
flour to 60 days requirements.
Onicials estimate as much as
10. 600, 900 bushels of wheat would be
saved during year under the
program.
In the light Of the latest position
taken by the brewers, the question
arose whether the bakers program
would be acceptable to the industry.

Lovett Says He Know!
OF No Intelligence
Warning on Revolt
Minor Demonstrations
Had Been Expected,
Acting Secretary stotes
By Gornett D. Homer

Acting Secretary of State
Lovett said today that so far as
he knew this Government re-
ceived no advance indication
that the Inter- American Con-
ference at Bogota would be in
terrupted by such an outbreak
of violence as occurred there
Friday.
Mr.. Lovett was asked at news
conference about criticism in some
quarters to the effect that United
States intelligence agencies should
have been able to give advance
warning of the possibilities OF the
revolt.
He replied with an emphatic NO
to question whether Secretary
Marshall, heading this country S
delegation to the conference, had
complained about the lack of ad-
vance intelligence.
Demonstrations Expected.
Mr.. Lovett said the State De-
partment did have advance infor-
nation that the political situation
was tense and that demonstrations
might occur. But, he said, the
demonstrations that had been going
on there were no more serious than
those which occur frequently In
Washington and bring pickets be-
fore the White House
As far as he knows, Mr.. Lovett
added, there was no advance indi-
cation that there was going to be
an assassination or burning and
sacking of Bogota.
Mr.. Lovett interrupted his news
