BIG STRIKES NOT YETF0R
 PRESIDENT
John 1. Lewis Will Go to Govt. Sponsored Peace
 Farley in Coal. Case

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-R- President Truman said today that the coal and steel strikes have not yet reached the point for his intervention.
 He made the statement at news conference. Minutes earlier John L.. Lewis accepted an invitation to at tend a government-sponsored peace barley on the coal strike tomorrow.
 The mediation talks were called by Consolidation Director Cyrus Ching, who said the coal situation is approaching crisis.
 MT. Truman said warning of government officials that the coal and steel stoppages will hurt the domestic economy were well timed and necessary.
 He then went on to say that the situation has not yet reached a stage for him to intervene.
 The coal operators accepted Ching's invitation to tomorrow's conference before Lewis acted.
 The United Mine Workers chief, in characteristic fashion, sent Ching a two- word telegram from White Sulphur Springs Wa, where nego- tiations on the dispute are Icing held.

 The mines have been shut down since September 19 in what Lewis chose to regard as spontaneous protest against the suspension of old age pensions and welfare bene- fits from his fast-yanishing vel fare fund.

ALASKA GOLD
 MINING CASE UP IN COURT

SAN F'RANISCO, Oct 6.-R-The Ninth Federal Court of Appeals de- ;lared in an Alaska gold mining case yesterday that it was the tra- ditional poliI. of the Federal gov ernment to regard Territorial tide lands as "held in trust for the benefit of future states"
 Affirming the Alaskan District Court, the Appellate Court decided that Territorial tidelands and the bends of navigable streams were never open to exclusive clae.ns.
 Frank Dent thus lost out in his attempt to obtain an injunc- tion which would have permitted him an exclusive right to dredge for gold in the Niukluk River in the Nome mining district. He claim ed the right under miners rules adopted June 29, 1948.
 The Appellate Courts statement about traditional policy" was noted with interest by legal observers here, in view of the continuing ef- forts of California and other coast al states to establish property rights in rich, oil-yielding tidelands.

NAVY INSISTS MORALE 0.k.;
 CAPTAIN OUT
CrommeIin Is Restricted 10 Home Perhaps
 Court-MdrfidI

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6--lR-The Navy today suspended Capt. John G. Crommelin from duty and de- nied to Congress that the morale of Naval officers and men is in sad shape.
 These developments piled up quickly in the wake of Crommelin's admission that he is the man who gave news reporters on Monday official correspondence about Navy morale
 l. The Navy suspended Crom- melin, 46-year-old aviation veteran, from duty and ordered him re- stricted to his home. That is a preliminary action pending final disposition of his case. There is the possibility of a court martial.
 2. Secretary of the Navy Matt hews went before the House Armed Services Committee and said he believes Navy morale generally is good Without calling Crommelin's name, Matthews in effect accused him of disloyalty, faithlessness. and insubordination.
 3. President Truman told a news conference he has instructed Matt hews to get to the bottom of the controversy swirling about charges that the Navy is not being given a fair deal in present military unification policies.
 MT. Truman declined to comment on Crommelin's release of private Navy correspondence critical of de- fense policies.
 Crommelin himself was the first to disclose the Navy's action
 He told reporters of it when he came out of the office of Vice Ad- miral John Dale Price, Vice Chief of Naval Operations. The action was taken by Price.

 Fairbanks kiIeage(ut
B. (. Highway 10 Chop 800 Miles Off Journey
 10 North

VICTORIA, B.C., Oct. 6-R-The
 John Hart highway, which will cut
 off 500 highway miles between
 Seattle and Fairbanks, Alaska, is
 rapidly reaching completion and is
 traversible except for "A miles, pro-
 vince officials said today.
 When completed next summer, it
 will obviate the long detour via
 Edmonton for trucks running be-
 tween Seattle and Alaska. It will
 provide an alternate shorter route
 via Vancouver, Chilliwack, Clinton,
 Williams Lake and Prince George to Dawson Creek on the Alaska
 military highway.
 The John Hart highway, named
 after ex-Premier John Hart, runs
 from Prince George North through
 Summit Lake up the Rocky Noun tain trench to Fort Mcleod, and
 east through Pine Pass to Dawson Creek. Between Prince George and Vancouver trucks and private auto
 mobiles would use the Cariboo
 highway which also is ceing widely improved.
 Engineers report that the high way has been completed 57 miles
 west of Dawson Creek, and from Prince George to Summit Lake.
 From Milepost 68 to 94 it is still under construction, and will be completed by December 31 The only section of the highway not yet under construction lies between milepost A and 68. IE The road is a 30-foot gravel highway suitable for heavy truck ing but necessarily at moderate speeds. It will save at least two full days for Seattle trucks moving to and from Alaska's interior. At the moment the provincially- owned Pacific Great Eastern Rail- way holds an exclusive franchise for trucking and passenger carrying by bus over the highway when completed. Whether this will pre- vent American truckers from using it without transshipping has not yet been determined.

OLD ACE PENSION
 BOOSTED
By FRANCIS M. 'LE MAY

By FRANCIo M. 'LE MAY
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-tR-Rid- ing a triumphant B to IA House vote, legislation vastly expanding the nations Social Security pro- gram moved over to the Senate to- day.
 It would add 11.000,000 to the 35,- 0C0,OOO workers now covered by old age insurance.
 Its sponsors voiced hope it would lessen strikes and strife over labor demands for pension plans fi- nanced wholly by employers. In the Federal program, workers and employers share equally the cost of the benefits the workers later receive.
 Senate approval is considered vir- tually certain sometime before the 1850 fall elections.
 Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance Committee said the Senate is bound to vote for higher security benefits, but will not be ale to act before the second ses- sion of the 81st Congress convenes in January.
 The new bill would raise the minimum old age benefit from SIC a month to $25 month. It would increase the maximum benefit for an elderly couple from $85 to around $126 month

Note 10 Russ On Treatment
 Of fAmeritans
Strong U. 5. Protest Rdps Russian Conduct in
 Germany

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-tR-The United States sent strongly worded note to Russia today pro- testing the shocking mistreat- ment of Americans who stray into the Soviet zone of Germany.
 This treatment the United States government finds to be in shocking contravention to the most elemen- tary standards of international de- cency," the note said
 At the same time the United States, through Ambassador Kirk in Moscow, notified the Russian Foreign Office that it expects that those Soviet officials who are re- sponsible for these acts will be punished"
 The American note referred spe- officially to the case of the two American college students who "in- advertently and innocently" entered the Russian zone while Bicycling and who are detalned TOT elght weeks.
 It also cited the case of Pvt. John J. Sinkowicz, an American soldier, who escaped Sept. 16 from prison in the Soviet sector of Berlin after 10 months of imprison- ment. The note said he was held under brutal and uncivilized con- ditions."
 The note said bluntly:
 There can be no justification for this kind of treatment of citi- zens of a friendly nation, persons whose only violation of law is purely technical at most and whose innocence of criminal charges can easily be established"

 ARMS RACE
Doubts Russ Atomic Pro- posaI AeeeptdbIe-TdI
 at Conference

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-R- President Truman said today he hopes the world can avoid an armaments race, but expressed doubt that Russia's expected new proposal on atomic energy control will be acceptable.
 The President emphasized anew his hope that the United Nations can be brought into a position of strength so that atomic control can be lodged in it.
 A reporter at the Presidents news conference asked if he was looking forward with interest to the forthcoming Russian proposal on atomic energy.
 Not especially, MT. Truman re- piled
 The President was asked whether his announcement of an atomic nlast in Russia might have made it more possible to reach agreement with the Soviet on the atom. He said he couldn't answer that and then went on:
 We have made the most inn portant proposition in the history of the world on atomic energy. The Russians did not see fit to accept it. The United States position will not be changed.
 MT. Truman commented that no other country in history, possessing a terrible weapon, ever offered to subject it to world control.
 The Russians have made several proposals that cannot be accepted the President went on, adding: it probably will be the same thing this time.
 As for the Russian atomic ex- plosion announced by him Septem- Der 23, MT. Truman said he has made all the statements concerning it that he intends to make.
 In reply to another question, the President expressed hope there will be no arms race as result of the Russian development.

 VASHINGTON- Inside story of the ord-United Auto Workers agreement on pensions was that it could have been settled exactly one week earlier-except for one thing. Walter Reuther didn't want it set tied too easily.
 On Friday, Sept. 23, the red headed chief of the United Auto Workers suddenly broke off his negotiations. Both sides had been pretty much in agreement. Every thing was going well. But sud- denly Reuther told John Bugas, chief negotiator for Henry Ford:
 T can't come to an agreement without first threatening you with a strike"
 So negotiations were broken off Strike news flared in the headlines. A strike deadline was even issued for midnight, Thursday, Sept. 29. Henry Ford had been entirely will ing to give the auto workers an old-age pension of $l00 month in- cluding government pensions, but the willy Walter Reuther wanted to sell his union on the idea that he was winning a tough victory.

 Communism

WASHINGTON. Oct. G. R-- President Truman today signed the $1,3l4,010,O00 arms aid bill, calling it "a notable contribution to the collective security of the free nations of the world"
 The legislation authorizes Ameri- can arms for IA countries in Vest ern Europe, the Middle East and the Far Pacific to help them re- sist Communism.
 In a statement at signing ceremony at the White House, Hr. Truman said:

 Legislators who helped push the measure through Congress were in- vited to the ceremony at the White House.
 Eight of the countries authorized to get American weapons and mili- tary supplies are European part ners in the North Atlantic Pact. whose defense committee last night set up machinery to draft strategy for any future attack.
 At a Pentagon session of more than five hours the defense group set up military committee of top professional strategists which was called into it's first session this af- ternoon. Heading this group is General Omar N. Bradley, Chair man of the US. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
