 John L. Lewis and Interior Sec retary Julius Krug are in harmon ious agreement on the bill for more stringent mine-safety regulations and enforcement.
 The measure was introduced by Senator Matt Nicely. D., w. Va. In the past Lewis has been a sulphur ous critic of Krug and James Boyd, director of the U. s. Bureau of Mines. They aided Nicely in drafting the bill. and because of this, there was uncertainty as to Lewis attitude But he has given his blessing. Despite this unity however, the legislation has made little headway.
 Nicely has complained to Demo- cratic floor leaders about this. But, overwhelmed by a backlog of major priority measures, they have given him no assurance when his bill

Washington Post)


 Abolition of the Property Control Division of United States Military Government in Germany on June 30 brings to the fore new though apparently less formidable danger to the postwar independent press in Germany We commented last fall on the conflict occupation policies that threatened to put the new democratic papers into the hands Of the old Naz owners of the printing plants. The new situation of the fact that in many cases the present publishers concluded their lease contracts with property custodans appointed by Military Gov ernment With the disappearance Of the Property Control Division party to these contracts dsap- pears The independent publishers fear that their contracts will be contested by the old plant owners, who will get sympathetic hearing in German courts. If this should happen, it would be the end oI the struggling free press in Germany and blow to our efforts to reorent Germans toward an apprecaton o the values of an independent and democratic press
 The danger goes far beyond the interests of news paper publishers If German courts were permitted to question and nvadate contracts and commitments made under Military Government the entire fabric of occupation authority would collapse The State De- partment somewhat tardily now has the question under active study among it's legal experts and hopes soon to come up with an opinion We hope there Will be no further delay in deciding that German courts cannot question the actions of Military Government
