informed the British delegation
at Lake Success that it was Brit

inforcing the garrison at Aquaba
several days ago.
This new development came to
light here this week after the

The British delegation, appar-

Copies Of u. ). Bulletin
Seized dbyCzech Police
BY the Assoeioted Press

PRAGUE. Czeehoslovakia, Oct.
1.-Two thousand copies Of the
United States Information Serv-
ices Czech-language bulletin were
confscated by police today because
it carried story on the State
Departments protest over the
jailing of an American student
here.
Joseph Kolarek, press attache
at the American Embassy. said
Czech police labeled the story as
untruthful. He said they also
claimed the article violated the
law of the defense of the republic.
Kolarek said the USIS story was a
straight news story based on the
State Department protest.
The student is Savel Kliachko
of Palo Alto. Calf, who said he
was arrested September 20 in a
Slovakian town as a suspected spy
and then held in solitary conflne-
ment for five days before being re-
leased.
Mr.. Kliachko, 26, is studying in
Charles University here on a Czech
government scholarship.
In its note to the Czech Foreign
Ministry Monday, the State De-
partment protested as outrageous
and high-handed the treatment
suffered by Mr.. Kliachko at the
hands of Czech police.

Lewis and Operators
Resume Last-Ditch
Coal Contract Talks
Negotiations Conducted
In West Virginia Under
Government Pressure
BY james Y. Newton
Stor StuH Correspondent

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va. Oct. 12.-John L. Lewis
and the soft coal operators met
here today in what probably will
be their final negotiations before
the Government takes action to
end the mine shutdown now in it's
fourth week.
The operators were hopeful that
the belligerent Mr.. Lewis would
specify his new contract demands
which in previous talks. spread
over more than three months, he
has stated only in general terms.
But the mine owners still are in
no mood to accept the demands
for a larger welfare and pension
fund, a shorter work week and
probably a wage increase for the
miners. They still are resisting
anything they say will add to the
cost of coal.
Under Federal Pressure.
Although the possibility of early
settlement of the coal controversy
appeared remote. the negotiators
were under heavy Government
pressure to reach agreement. They
have been warned by Cyrus S.
Ching. Federal mediation chief,
that the long strike has brought
a shortage of fuel which is rap
idly approaching the crisis state.
If the negotiations bear no fruit
within a few days President Tru-
man is expected to offer to set up
a fact finding board to recon-
mend settlement of the dispute,
as he did in the steel industry
argument.
Emergency Action Likely.
Should the request for fact
finding fail to end the strike, then
some emergency Government ac-
ton, like seizure of the mines or
court injunction, may be expected
soon.
The sessions here are between
the United Mine Workers first
team" headed by Mr.. Lewis, and
operators of the North, West and
steel industry. The UNIV "sec-
ond team" is resuming negotia-
tions late today with the South
ern operators in nearby Charles
ton.

Il Before Senate
Measure Pried Out
Of Committee Minus
Any Recommendation

Supporters of the displaced per-
sons bill finally pried it out of the
Senate Judiciary Committee to-
day. but it still faces bitter floor
fight.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
of Michigan, got a 7-to-2 vote on
a motion to report the bill without
recommendation.
This voids the necessity of
pressing a motion pending in the
Senate to take the bill away from
the committee. The opposition,
however. is expected to resist pas
sage when Senate leaders call it
up after a vote on the farm bill.
Administration leaders are
determined to have a showdown
on the DIP issue before a hoped
for Saturday adjournment.
Brings Adjournment Closer.
Today's committee action. there
fore. brings Congress one step
closer to adjournment.
Highlights of the DIP bill are:
1t increases the number of dis
placed immigrants who may enter
the United States from 205, 900 in
three years to $4,000 in three
years.
Makes eligible any person who
was in DIP camp or under the
International Refugee Organiza-
ton on January l, 1949. The
present law makes December /,
1e45, the eligibility deadline.
It. does away with the require
ment that 40 per cent be from the
Baltic States and that 30 per cent
be farmers.
Opposition Leaders Absent.
Chairman McCarran of the
Judiciary Committee. who is in
Europe. had cabled that there is
40 need for action on displaced
persons legislation at this time
Senator Eastland, Democrat
Of Mississippi, who is leading the

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Oct
12.-New nationalized businesses
sprang up in Prague today in
shops whose owners had been
seized in widespread police round
ups. The purge arrests were re-
ported continuing.
Several persons who went to
trade with their former neighbor-
hood druggists, bakers or book
shops reported they found Com
munist-controlled national ad-
ministrations had been installed
The businesses had been seized
by the government. In some cases
it was reported the families of the
former owners also had been
thrown out of their apartments.
Purge Aimed at Middle Glasses.
This lent substantiation to per-
sistent reports that police action
against small businessmen which
engulfed most of Prague the last
10 days had been aimed at liqui-
dating remnants Of the middle
class. Big enterprises had long
since been nationalized.
But the businessmen were only
one class arrested in these round
ups, which were reliably estimated
to have seized thousands in this
capital alone. Landlords and other
propertied persons. together with
many doctors and lawyers and
just ordinary people, also had
come into the police dragnet.
Reliable report said many of
the people seized had been sent
to forced labor camps by Com
nist-controlled national COM
mittees.

arrests there still was no govern

Senate Prepares
To Start Voting
On Farm Bill
Lucas Sees Passage
Of Anderson Plan
For Flexible Support
By J. A. O'Leon

The Senate agreed today to
start voting at 2:30 pm. on the
farm support issue, and Majority
Leader Lucas predicted the An
derson flexible price support prin-
ciple would be passed.
The agreement, coming on the
heels OF, Senate committee action
this morning on the displaced per-
sons bill, revived hopes for ad-
journment of Congress by Satur-
day or early next week. Senator
Lucas said, however, he saw no
chance for adjournment by Sat-
urday, the present goal.
The Democra tic leadership
brushed aside challenge by Sen
ate Republican Leader Wherry Of
Nebraska for showdown vote now
on Secretary of Agriculture Bran
mans controversial farm price
support plan which is expected to
be major issue in the 1850 Con-
gressional campaign.
Calls for Vote on Issue Now.
If the Brannan plan is to be
an issue later, Senator Wherry
asked, why can't we vote on it
now and then go to the country
on that vote?"
He made the challenge while
Chairman Elmer Thomas of the
Senate Agriculture Committee was
speaking on the farm bill.
Mr.. Brannan has been making
many speeches in the country's
farm areas in support of his pro-
posal. 1t would let perishable
crops find their own price levels
for the benefit Of consumers and
then bolster the farmers income
by direct Government subsidies
Lucas Sees Truman Again.
The plan drafted by Senator
Anderson. Democrat, of New
Mexico-the one Senator Lucas
said the Senate would pass
would provide a sliding scale Of
rs to 80 per cent of parity.
Senator Lucas paid another call
on President Truman today. Asked
If the Anderson bill was ac-
eeptable to the President. Senator
Lucas said: II don't know"
Several recent White House
visitors have quoted Mr.. Truman
as favoring 80 per cent parity
payments.
Speeding up action when it met
at II am. today. the Senate took
these preliminary steps.
Adopted an amendment by Sem
ator Thomas making the overseas
relief agency. CARE. eligible foe
some of the surplus food items tho
Government has taken over in its
price support program. and which
may go to waste.
Assistant Secretary Rejected.
Making the Munitions Board ell
hgible also to use these surplus
foods in exchange for strategic
materials in other countries.
Striking out a provision for one
additional Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture.
The farm subsidy question is an
important one for Senator Lucas,
because he is up for reelection
next year and, outside of Chicago,
the farmers are the backbone Of
Illinois voting population.
After congressional leaders had
visited the President yesterday.
Senator Lucas had no comment
on the conference itself. He
frankly reafirmed his support Of
the Anderson flexible parity plan.
Observers recalled that Illinois
is a corn-hog State. where corn
is grown primarily for fattening
hogs. Some hog raisers buy corn
for that purpose, and presumably
would not want corn prices sup
ported at too high level.
