Senator Anderson, dismayed at
the blow to his long-range farm
legislation, then succeeded in get
ting it sent back to committee for
overhauling.
He told reporters later he didn't
know what the committee would
do but said II will try to get bill
I can defend"
Senator Aiken Of Vermont. top
Republican of the committee. said
he had no doubt the group would
return with bill containing the
sliding scale of price supports it
first had recommended to the
Senate.
Outcome Uncertain, Aiken Says.
If so. he added. the issue will
have to be fought out all over
again on the Senate floor.
Senator Aiken refused to hazard
a guess on the outcome. But he
said that if bill continuing the
present high support levels should
be passed and signed by the Pres
ident, the Democrats would lose
the next election hands down."
The Anderson bill provided for
supporting basic crops within a
range of rs to 80 per cent OF
parity, depending on the available
supply. Parity is a price intend
ed to give farmers fair return
on what they grow in terms OF
what they have to buy.
Here is what happened to the
bill in yesterdays long, turbulent
session:
First the Senate rejected by a
38-to-37 vote an amendment by
Senators Young. Republican, OF
North Dakota and Russell, Demo-
crat, of Georgia to peg price sup
ports for wheat. cotton, corn, pea
nuts, tobacco and rice-the So
called basic crops-at 80 per cent
Of parity when production con-

Ching Calls Meeting
OF Coal Operators
And Lewis Friday
CONTINUED From First Page.)

reports of more violence came
from the mine fields. Nearly a
score of men were arrested in Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania as result
of battling between pickets and
unorganized miners still working
in defiance of the strikers.
No one was reported injured in
the disturbances but several truck
loads of coal were dumped.
Three Operators Invited.
In addition to Mr.. Lewis, the
Federal mediator invited three soft
coal operators to the Friday meet
ing in the Labor Department here
at 10 am. They are George H.
Love, Operators spokesman for the
National Bituminous Wage Con-
ference: Harry M. Moses, president
of the H. C. Prick Coal Co.. and
Joseph E. Moody, president Of the
Southern Coal Producers Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Ching remarked dryly that
his action was not 'precipltous'
as the negotiations between the
operators and the union have been
going on for months.
He said the action was not
taken on any suggestion from the
White House but purely in line
with his duty as director Of the
Federal Media ton and Concilia-
ton Service.
Evades Taft Hartley Question.
Mr.. Ching pointed out that
although there is a lot of coal
at some points. even today some
people are affected by the coal
shutdown and the longer 1t goes
the worse it gets"
Asked if the call for the meeting
indicated the Government might
resort to the Taft Hartley Act to
reopen the closed mines. Mr..
Ching said, We're mediators."
He suggested that an emergency
would arise in the coal strike
before it would in the steel de-
spute. No formal moves in the
steel dispute are contemplated
Immediately. he added.
An estimated 0,000 miners are
idle in the dispute. However,
enough coal is above the ground
to keep most of the industry going
for several weeks except for the
spotty shortages suggested by MIR.
Ching.
Violence in Virginia.
The latest reports of violence
came from Virginia. Oficers re-
ported that IA men were arrested
on charges including the carrying
of concealed weapons after a dis
turbance over a load of coal from
a non union mine at st. Charles,
Va.
In Pennsylvania a coal tipple
was damaged by an explosion
yesterday at the c. v. Fink &
Son mine, near Clearfield. Ala
bama fields were. reported quiet
and there were no further vio-
lence in Tennessee. where several
union miners were injured earlier
in the week.
All the violence stems from ef-
forts of some nonunion coal oper-
ators to keep their mines running
after the miners quit work.
They struck after benefits from
their pension and welfare fund
were cut of.

At the same time, there were

Senator Taft, in weekly mes
sage to Ohio voters. renewed his
plea for a 70-group Air Force. He

foreign arms be used to set up an

Senator Mcmahon told report

minor revisions. He said he re-

the committees findings in weeks
of public and closed hearings.
Senator Hickenlooper. repre-

said the McMahon-Durh find

Steel Export Controls
Studied by Sawyer
To Conserve Stocks
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-The
Government is considering clamp
ing down on the export of steel in
the face of dwindling inventories
which threaten idleness to hum
dreds of thousands in American
industries.
Many companies are taking pre-
cautionary steps of their own as
the Nationwide steel strike goes
into it's fifth day.
Westinghouse Electric Corp. put
a rationing system into effect to-
day on many appliances.
There is no sign of peace in
the steel strike.
Philip Murray, president Of the
steelworkers, is standing pat on
his demand that industry pay all
the costs of pension and welfare
program. Industry is standing
pat, too. 1t will pay up to 10 cents
an hour-but insists workers chip
in a few cents an hour, too.
Government Keeps Hands Of.
There are no negotiating ses-
sions in sight. The Government
is keeping hands off for the pres
ent.
White House Press Secretary
Charles G.. Ross said in Washing
ton today, mo action is imminent
here"
In reply to a question, Mr.. Ross
told newsmen he had not heard
of any Wall Street rumors that a
strike settlement is in sight.
That doesn't mean the Govern
ment isn't concerned. Secretary
of Commerce Sawyer says he's
considering imposing export con-
trolls on steel. That would keep
more steel in America, prolonging
employment in many industries in
case the strike isn't ended soon.
Almost as Secretary Sawyer was
talking, Westinghouse placed
number of home appliances on an
ALLEGATION basis to distributors
and dealers. These include large
model refrigerators, electric ranges
washing mashines. clothes driers,
water heaters and fans.
Sums Up Position.
J. H. Ashbaugh, vice president
of the companys appliance d1vl-
sions, summed up WESTINGHOUSE
position this way:
I'VE have enough steel on hand
for full production this month.
But we will have to start cutting
back operations at our plant here
Mansfield, Ohio) and in Spring
field, Mass, by November l, and
will be shutdown by the end OF
November if there is no relief in
the steel strike situation"
Repercussions of the steel walk
out are coming from Detroit. For
the most part. auto companies
have enough steel on hand to
make autos for a month. How
ever, 5000 employees of Packard
Motor Car Co. will be laid of to-
morrow and Friday. Packard
wants to survey the situation and
adjust it's working schedule to the
supply of steel on hand.

STORY TELLS HOW
DOCTORS WORKED TO
CURE JOHN MAXWELL

Just this week, John Maxwell,
80, 1917 Fifth Street s., was able
to take his first steps. He had
been seriously i'll since before the
Christmas holidays with Botulism,
a rare type Of food poisoning.
In the Minneapolis STAR We'd
nesday, Jan. 20, a detailed story
appears explaining the rare di-
sease and how the staff physi-
clans at the General hospital were
able to successfully save the life
of Maxwell.
The story reveals how, because
of immediate correct diagnosis of
the disease by the physicians, and
Maxwell's own unusually good
physical condition, Maxwell was
able to pull through.
Recovery, however, doctors re-
port, will be slow. They predict
so per cent recovery in six months
and 80 per cent in a year.

The best explanation given me

colored persons to wen-paying

politicians explained 1t to me, the
Republicans have no labor pro-
gram to attract the 1000 900 Ne

frown on public housing, which
to Negroes promises relief from
both squalor and segregation.
