News of the World At A Glance -

Continued from Page One) Russia in their strongest positions since Yalta.
 Acheson made clear his primary purpose at the talks will not be an east-west agreement on Germany just for the sake of agreeing. In- stead, he expressed determination to protect the economic recovery and political stability of all Vest ern Europe, in which Germany plays vital part.
 Observers in Berlin believe that in the Paris talks for the first time the west can take the offensive or sit tight and let the Russians seek to break the deadlock. In previous parleys the west was in a defen- sive position, trying to seek agree ments from Russia.
 Diplomats say the western posi- ton has been strengthened by booming prosperity in Western Germany, growing surge against communism throughout all Ger many and by Russia's open failure to freeze out the western powers with her Berlin blockade.
 Traffic rolled on all roads to Berlin without Russian interfer- ence although the Russians still have not answered western pro- tests against their on-again- off, again rules. Economists of the Russian and western zones got to- gether for more talks in their deadlocked efforts to Arrange for a revival of interzone trade. But the whole situation still was a merry-go-round of confusion.
 Plans for the new West German state continued apace. Bavaria, while rejecting the constitution for the new republic, reserved the right to enter the new government if the other 10 states in the west ern occupation zone accept it.

 The great asiatic city of Shang- hai was shelled today for the first time in China's civil war, causing the death of at least six Chinese civilians and wounding 10 others.
 Four high explosive shells, pre- sumably from communist batter ies east of the city, smashed into the old French quarter, a densely populated district.
 A Shanghai garrison communi- que said the Reds opened up last night with an attack on the Woo- sung sector, 10 miles north of the city, where the Wrangpoo river meets the Yangtze.
 Shanghai's time appeared to be drawing short. The bund, famed w er-front thoroughfare, was banned to civilian traffic. Import ant Chinese in the city were re- ported leaving.

Pressure Increasing
For Use Of Labor Act
AGAINST Mine Worker!
BY the Associatsd Press

By the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19.-Presi-
dent Truman and Congress may
have to face a problem next
month-how to get John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers back on
five-day work week.
Pressure is increasing in some
quarters for the President to in
woke the Taft-Hartley Act.
Industry leaders say Mr.. Lewis
has created a national emergency
through the four full-scale walk
outs he's called this year and the
.three-day week which he has or
dered indefinitely for his 480. 900
United Mine Workers.
There's enough coal on hand
for about three months unless un-
usually cold weather prevails. But
retailers and steel companies are
watching their dwindling stock
piles and are worried.
Steel Firms Losing Reserves.
The steel companies are start
ing to eat up their reserves.
They're trying to catch up with
the production they lost during
the recent 42-day-old strike OF
the CIO-United SteelworkerS.
It all adds up to increasing
pressure on the industry and Mr..
Lewis to get together on con-
tract to extend the one which
expired last June 80.
Mr.. Lewis isn't saying anything.
But he's keeping close watch
on efforts of his lieutenants to
get independent soft coal oper-
ators to sign contracts and break
away from the solid front main
tanned by the industry's leaders.
Meanwhile negotiations are con-
tinuing with the anthracite ,op-
orators who employ about 10000
miners.
UNIV Claims Belittled.
UNIV officers say some con-
tracts have been signed to cover
a few of the 100000 soft coal
miners. They haven't said how
many, but indicate they have
signed operators who produce
about 10 per cent Of the national
tonnage. Top coal spokesmen
scoff at the figures.
Meanwhile, industry leaders
want the Taft-Hartley Act used
to get all diggers back into the
pits on a five-day week.
Former Representative Fred
Hartley. co-author of the labor
law, also is pumping for such
action. In a speech at Atlantic
City, N. j., yesterday Mr.. Hartley
declared Mr.. Lewis is "the Nations
No. l oil burner salesman" He
referred to companies and homes
which have switched from coal to
oil for fuel.
Sends Telegram to Truman.
