thought, to chat with q few

A few calls would have been all
right, but before / knew it,
was monopolizins our telephone
party line.
So that it wouldn't happen
again, l jotted down q list of
"party-line points" to remem-
Der when using the telephone.
At the top of the list, I wrote
"Always allow some time be-
tween calls 80 that others
have a chance to use the line"
The rest of the points were
little more than rules Of COM
mon courtesy. Such things as
not interrupting when some
ones talking on the line, ex-
eept to make an extremely
urgent call or giving up
the line quickly when some
one needs it in an emergency.
All in all, it's the "little
things" that make our party

John L. Lewis reported last night
that S68, 100000 in benefits have been
paid to a quarter million soft coal
miners and dependents from the
United Mine Workers controver-
sial health and welfare fund.
The report. covering 20 months
operationn, was the first compre-
hensive one made of the fund which
was started modestly during the
Governments year-long operation of
the mines after the bitter 1916 strike
President Truman seized the pits
to end that strike which resulted
largely from the Lewis drive to per-
suade the mine operators to estab-
lish the fund.
Mr.. Lewis said that nearly mil
lion benefit checks have been sent
out to the mine workers, their
vitows. orphans and other depend
ents. The benfits include grants for
C. tn. disability, pensions, hospital
"a medical care. The precise num-
ber of benficiaries is 260,l23.
1859 Receiving Pensions.
A total of 1859 retired miners
~ are receiving pensions of sl00 a
ronth. an issue which resulted IN
another strike last spring. On tnat
occasion, Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV
we're fined heavily in District Court
for ignoring an injunction to call
of the strike. A miner must be 81
years old and have had 20 years
service to be eligible for a pension.
The largest and most costly phase
Of the huge program, Mr.. Lewis
said, is the payment of disability
benefits. Such payments have gone
SO far to $3.50 miners, widows and
other dependents. The payments
made to sick and injured miners
are timed for periods up to one
year.
Distress payments have been
made to an equally large number

Montgomery Schools

Members of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly were asked yesterday
to investigate charges by Franklin
T. Miles, Chevy Chase attorney,
that Un-American teaching is al
lowed in the Montgomery County
schools.
Mr.. Miles made the request to
chairmen of the Senate and House
Education Committees. Previously
the charges have been rejected both
by the Montgomery County Board
of Education and by DR.. Thomas G.
Pullen, State superintendent of
schools, who investigated them at
the direction of Gov. Lane.
The basis for these charges is
of real concern to the welfare of
the people of Maryland" Mr.. Miles
wrote the legislators Il will provide
all desired proof to substantiate my
charges and, if considered appro-
pirate, will offer suggestions for
constructive remedial legislation.
DR.. r.>Pullen asked Mr.. Miles to sub
stantiate his charges at a confer
ence in the superintendent's Balti-
more Offices but the attorney de-
clined on grounds that such a meet
ing would be a closed session. He
said he had been refused an open

68 Millions Paid to 26O,723
From Welfare Fund, Lewis Says

a month for miners, $40 extra for
their wives and $40 month for
each child.
1O,4S9 Death Benefits Paid.
The fund began operating nearly
two years ago with the payment of
$1,000 death benefits to the families
of deceased miners. Since that time
total of 1e,489 such payments have
been made to widows and other
survivors.
The report puts the average age
of the miner getting disability pay
ments at So and the average age
of the pensioner at 66, Average
years of service of those getting
retirement pay is IS.
The health and welfare fund now
is supported by the payment OF 20
cents per ton on all soft coal pro-
duced. 1t will yield an estimated
500, 900, 900 year. In bitter con-
tract negotiations with the opera
tors last June, Mr.. Lewis succeeded
in getting the fund take" raised
from 10 cents per ton prevailing In
the previous contract period.
Processing Speeded.
Mr.. Lewis said fund officials ad-
vised him that operation OF the big
program now is on current basis.
Death benefit applications now are
processed within "a hours, while
disability and pension cases require
only few days.
Latest part of the program to 60
in operation was that providing
health. hospital and medical care
for the workers and their families
Complete plans for such care now
are being developed.
The union will not say how much
remains in the fund at this time. but
it is believed to be about $4,000 900
The present UMW-operator work
contract expires June 30. New con-
tract talks probably will bring an
other battle over continuation of the
I20-centS per ton fund payments.
