British LET Teachers

1Y the Assasiatsd Rrsss

LONDON. Dec. British
school teachers are free to be
Communists or hold any other
political views 50 long as they
mind their Ps and Qs in the class
room, a British government spokes-
man said yesterday.
The question came up in the
House Of Lords. Conservative
Lord Vansittart asked about the
truth Of a recent statement to a
Communist congress in Liver
pool that 1000 very active"
comrades are employed by the
government as teachers.
He wanted to know what action
the government meant to take If
the Communist statement was
true.
Lord Lucas, replying for the
government said:
The political views of teachers
are their own private affair SC
long as they do not infringe the
long established and well under
stood rule that they should not
use their position to propagate
their views In the course Of
instruction"
He added that any case where
there was evidence the rule was
being broken would be investi-
gated at once. One such in
vestigation is under way now, he

Mr.. Whitaker said his firm has
a two-year contract with the
ANA, and that he hoped the cam
paign will make such an effect
next year that the AMA's fight
will be Won"
Advocates of the dues proposal
argued that payment would tend
to draw doctors together In more
cohesive group. While objection
was registered to the $25 "volun-
tary assessments" officials said
about 80 per cent of the ANA
members contributed.
Washington's doctors recently
took an additional Increase in
dues, when those of the District
Medical Society were increased

Major Coal Operators
Stand PAT While Lewis
Slams Small Firms
By jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis was expected to
sign additional soft coal producers
to his new United Mine Workers
contract today. but the lines Of
the major operators apparently
still were holding firm against
his demands.
The UNIV president already has
announced that companies pro-
ducing 7,340. 900 tons Of soft coal
year have signed the contract
calling for payment into the UNIV
Welfare and Retirement Fund OF
IS cents per ton and a wage to
the miners Of SIS a cay. That
is an increase in welfare royal
ties Of Is cents ton and pay
increase of IS cents per day.
AS soon as the operators sign
the new agreement. Mr.. Lewis
permits them to work their mines
the normal five days a week. He
put both the anthracite and soft
coal industries on a three-day
week starting Monday. He Is
using that as club In the effort
to force the operators to sign at
a time of year when their profits
are highest.
The tonnage signed so far by
the UNIV still is only a small
fraction of the more than 400
000.0 tons produced annually by
the members of the union. Mr..
Lewis will have to "bag" big
mine owner before he makes ap-
preciable progress toward his goal.
Mr.. Lewis said that operators
producing slightly more than
100000 tons signed up yester-
day. Their properties are located
in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. but he did not name the
companies.
A major producer who had been
reported as ready to accept the
new contract terms issued state
ment indicating that he had
changed his mind. He was Whit
ney Warner. jr., president Of the
Warner Galleries of Cleveland,
who talked at length with John
Owens, UNIV secretary treasurer.
after discussing the proposed
new contract with Mr.. Owens" I"
Mr.. Warner said. Il concluded
that if any contract is to be made,
it should only be signed on an
industry wide basis and that the
attempt to conduct negotiations
on a company level Is imprac-
tical."
! That is the position now taken
by the big associations of oper-
ators, the reverse Of their stand
in other recent years when they
were opposed to industry-wids
bargaining.
! Meanwhile, negotiations between
the UNIV and the anthracite op-
orators in New York have made
little progress toward a contract
so far.
Anthracite Is used almost ex-
clusively for home heating and
the producers, at the peak of their
season. are anxious to eliminate
the three-day week. But the
union has refused to let them work
their mines longer.

Douglas Reports Amity
AtSessionW WithEccles,
SNYDER and McCabe
By J. A. O'leory

Senator Douglas, Democrat, OF
Illinois today reported an atmos-
phere Of harmony and fruitful
cooperation" prevailed at a con-
ference he arranged in his office
to discuss any differences which
may exist between the Treasury
and some officials Of the Federal
Reserve System over monetary
policy.
Present at the conference this
morning were Treasury Secretary
Snyder and Mariner s. Eccles, q
member and former chairman OF
the Federal Reserve Board, who
charged recently the Reserve Sys-
tenn ha sheen hampered in per-
forming It's function in regulating
the volume of money and credit
by the Treasury's desire to get
money as cheaply as possible IN
managing the public debt.
Also present at the closed-door
meeting was Thomas B. McCabe.
who succeeded Mr.. Eccles as Fed
eral Reserve chairman 10 months
ago. and who testified at open
hearings last week that there has
been "a splendid degree OF CO.
operation" between the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve.
Undecided on New Law.
Calling in reporters at the end
of today's meeting, Senator Doug
las, chairman of a House-Senate
subcommittee studying the whole
field of monetary policy. said the
meeting was "very satisfactory
harmonious and extremely cor
dial"
He added it was VERY fruitful
of cooperation between the
Treasury and the Federal Re-
serve" but he refused to go into
any detail as to whether new
LEGISLATION would grow out OF the
discussion.
When the whole range OF none
tary and fiscal policy is considered
there may be need for some new
Legislation, Senator Douglas said,
but added his mind is still open
on the specific question Of wheth-
er a new law Is needed to govern
relations between the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve Board.
The Senator began by stressing
the harmony and cooperation in
the meeting, but when asked If
the problems that developed at
the hearings had been solved he
replied:
when I was young I used to
believe all problems could be
solved, but as I get older I have
come to believe most problems
must be endured"
Sees Understanding Developed.

veloped an understanding tina!

Reserve Board advice. Senator
Douglas replied, Il think it al

In his letter to Senator Doug
las last week, Mr.. Eccles Said the
talents and efforts of the men in
the Federal Reserve System "are
largely wasted" He stated that
views of the Federal Reserve
Board and its Open Market Com
mittee regarding debt manage
ment policies ARE seldom sought

System has made suggestions on
its own initiative to the Treasury
in connection with Government
financing, but added In his letter.

You can blame most headache:

many attacks can be prevented

DR.. Lester s. Blumenthal. ir
charge of the headache clinic
at the George Washington Uni.

ings to doctors after the study
of hundreds of patients.
Addressing a session OF the
American Medical Associations
clinical meeting at the District
National Guard Armory, DR.. Blu
menthal said the studies showed
the large majority of headaches
are due to 'ever-mounting
stresses, strains and pressures tc
which the patient is subjected

intensive drug treatment must

Arthritis Discussed.
In another discussion, doctors
were told widespread treatment

DR.. Edward r. Rosenberg, q
Chicago scientist who has directed
research on cortisone and ACTH
another drug which has produced
dramatic results in treating rheu.
matoid arthritis, said his greatest
worry was that patients will delay
present treatments and wait for
the new drugs.
But ACTH, he said, probably
will remain a research tool be-
cause of it's unavailability for
clinical use. ACTH Is a protein
lproduced from the pituitary
glands of hogs and horses, and
the annual swine production in
the country could yield enough OF
the drug to treat only q few
thousand patients, he said.
Research Under Way.
For cortisone, which can be
synthesized, DR.. Rosenberg had
more hope. 1t now is produced In
a costly and complicated process
from an acid obtained in OK bile
Research Is under way, however,
In the use Of soy beans, Mexican
yams and other products to OBJ
tain material which may shorten
the process, he said.
Stimulated by experimental
results with the two drugs, DR.
Rosenberg said, recent tests have
been made on six different
steroids, but none were found
effective.

vailed on him to have his fortune

Instead of the ordinary fortune
teller, it seems that japanese
often have their fortunes told by
