Chain Letters Ask 81 Bills
To Aid Taft Reelection
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Dec. 90
Chain letters asking recipients to
send a dollar to assist the 1850
reelection campaign Of Senator
Robert A. Taft, Republican. of
Ohio made their appearance here
today.
The letters, some of them
mailed from New York, asked that
those receiving the letters send
copies to 10 friends. They asked
that the contribution be sent to
Ben E. Tate, treasurer of the Taft
Campaign Fund, 1904 Carew
Tower, Cincinnati.
Taft has been singled out for
slaughter" the letter said in part.
Many millions of dollars are be-
ing accumulated to destroy him
politically. If these forces are
successful it will have a most Sc
rious effect on the other members
Of Congress who are inclined to
vote courageously. In short, his
defeat under the circumstances
would be a catastrophe.
IF several million Americans
from every State in the Union
will drop him a little note and
attach a. 81 bill, no $40, $50 OF
500, just 81 and tell him they
appreciate his service to the Ma
ton and want him to continue,
he would be better able to meet
the vicious attack being made
upon him"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.-An
Air Force plane repeatedly has
flown 1889 miles per hour-three
times the speed of sound.
That's the new record of the
Air Forces XII rocket plane, says
the Los Angeles Times aviation
editor, Marvin Miles.
Quoting what he calls reliable
informants," Mr.. Miles today said
the XII had reached a speed OF
/ ,989 miles an hour in the strato-
sphere over Edwards Air Force
Base at Muroc Dry Lake.
The speed was given to him as
Mach 3, he said, or three times
as fast as sound. Sonic velocity
is 663 miles an hour between the
attitudes Of $4,000 and 100000
feet.
Mr.. Miles story did not say who
was at the controls, but presumed
it was Capt. Charles Yeager OF
perhaps Maj. Pete Everest. A
year and a half ago the Air Force
announced that Capt. Yeager
would try to fly the XII up to
ZOO miles an hour, the maximum
speed for which it was originally
designed. Mr.. Miles said Maj
Everest has been testing the
rocket-powered craft.

floor Of a railroad car with radio
active sodium. The thief walked
across the floor in rubber boots,
jumped out of the car, walked a
hundred yards across a field, and
hid in a clump of bushes.
Then came the detective with
his geiger counter. This device
emits a clicking sound in the
presence of atomic radiation. The
closer the source, the faster the
clicks.
Trail Leads to Thief.
The detective swept the counter
over the ground, picked up the
trail, followed it across the field
and routed the thief from the
bushes.
One of the problems in tracing
railway thieves is to find where
along the line the goods was
dumped overheard. Scotland Yard
thinks this will do the trick.
Another way to use this new
dodge would be to insert a radio
active pellet into parcels in fac
tories where thefts are numerous.
The thief would walk out with,
say. a bundle containing a carton
of stolen cigarets, a geiger counter
in the hands of a guard at the

ton, Tex, had crawled to within
mile of a country road. He had
been dead for several days when

entity was caused by shock and
exposure. Considerable rain and
below-freezing temperatures have

Mrs. Roosevelt Insists
Miners Had 10 Live in Tents
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LOGAN, w. Va, Dec. ,29.-Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to-
day to change her story that Lo-
gan County coal miners once had
to live in tents because it is the
exact truth"
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote in reply to
a letter from Fred Haislip. presi-
dent of the Logan Chamber Of
Commerce, asking for apologies
from McCall's magazine and
Harper & Co.. publishers of her
memoirs, This I Remember"
The widow of the President
wrote in her book that Logan
miners had been living in tents
because they were evicted from
their homes, the men blacklisted
at the mines and unable to get
work.
Mr.. Haislip said "her statement
that such conditions existed here"
Is not true.
This is good many years ago,
you must remember" Mrs. Roose-
welt replied. land I do not question
that you have all forgotten there
ever did exist people who lived in
tents ="
She added she did not claim to
have alleviated the conditions, but
that Il reported on them to my
husband and he turned the whole
question over to the relief admin
istration under Mr.. Harry Hop
kins to investigate in the hope
that there would be opportunities
to remove people from tents which
had become uninhabitable."

Joseph E. Moody, president of
the Southern producers, filed the
unfair" charges with the NLRB
against Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV
and requested the injunction to
end the three-day week.
illegal" Attempt Charged.
Mr.. Moody said the UNIV is
trying to force the operators to
sign an Illegal mine contract
in violation of the Taft-Hartley
Act. He based the charge on two
contentious.
The first is that both the old
industry agreement and the new
one Mr.. Lewis is seeking includes
union shop" clause which is
illegal unless approved by a ma
jority Of the workers in formal
NLRB election. No such vote has
been held and. in the case Of the
mines owned by steel companies,
NLRB has held the contract to
be illegal.
Under the union shop, an en-
ployer has the right to hire nom
union workers, but they must join
the union soon after employment.
The steel company mine case is
now before the District Court of
Appeals for decision.
Accuses UNIV Trustees.
Mr.. Moody also charged that
the trustees of the UNIV welfare
fund, in effect, are enforcing
illegal CLOSED shop" conditions in
the coal fields by ruling that a
miner must be a member of the
UNIV to be eligible for fund bene-
fits.
The head of the Southern pro-
ducers also asked NLRB. to find
Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV guilty of
a refusal to bargain in good faith
on a new contract. Among other
things. he said he had received no
to a November % letter to
MIR. Lewis in which the South
erners offered to reopen contract
talks with the UNIV.
Our attempts to get the indus
try and our employees back to work
on a mutually profitable basis
have constantly been met by
monopolistic tactics.
