Cedric r. Worth, suspended
civilian assistant to Undersecre-
tary of the Navy Kimball. declared
at naval court of inquiry today
that his memorandum criticizing
the Air Forces B-36 bomber pro-
gram originated largely from his
"clear understanding" that Glenn
L. Martin. Baltimore aircraft
manufacturer, wanted such a COM
pilation of "rumors" as well as
facts to give to Senator Tydings.
Democrat, of Maryland.
Mr.. Worth, whose memorandum
set off a House committee investi-
CATION last month, took the stand
as the three-admiral court re-

seeks to determine whether any

Lewis Resumes Talks
With Northern and
Western Operators
Serious Negotiations Due
After Poy-Up UItimotum
To Southern Group
BY the Associoied Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Sept. 21.-John L. Lewis
turned to vital contract talks with
Northern and Western coal opera
tors today after serving a blunt
"pay-up" ultimatum to Southern
mine owners.
AS coal pits across the Nation
remained idle for the third
straight day. Mr.. Lewis United
Mine Workers Union gave notice
that it would not bargain further
with the Southerners until the
operators have paid up their roy
atty contributions to the miners
health and welfare fund.
John Owen, UNIV secretary
treasurer. announced that stand
yesterday at Bluef1ed, w. Va,
where the union has been holding
contract talks with the Southern
operators.
Mr.. Lewis attended only the
opening Southern negotiations at
Bluefield last May. But he was
on hand for the bargaining with
Northern and Western owners
and for separate talks with rep
reSentatives of mines owned by
the United States Steel Corp.
Real Bargaining Due.
There were rumblings among the
coal operators that the negotia-
tions should be broken of while
MIR. Lewis 100000 soft and hard
coal miners are out on strike. But
few expected that issue to be
pressed hard.
Instead. mcst thought Mr.. Lewis
now would begin to bargain In
earnest for a new contract to re-
place the one which expired June
80. There have been only sporadic
meetings between the United Mine
Workers and the operators since
last May, with little real discus
sion of contract terms.

House Back on Job,
No Major Business
Slated This Week
Truman and Leaders
Will Discuss Program
AT Conference Tomorrow
By the Associated Press

House members return today
from a months vacation, with
enough unfinished business on
hand to keep them here the rest
Of the year.
They probably won't stay that
long. Around November /" is the
target date of congressional lead
ers for final adjournment.
Leaders will discuss with Presi-
dent Truman tomorrow the legis-
lation that may be considered in
the remainder of this session.
Speaker Rayburn announced
plans for the meeting on his re-
turn. He refused to predict
when Congress will adjourn, but
said that if it stays here until the
first Of November it should con-
slider expansion of the social se-
curity program.
Refuses to List "Must" Bills.
Legislation to broaden the So
cial security coverage has been
approved by the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Mr.. Rayburn would not list any
must" bills for the rest of this
year other than regular appro-
priation bills now pending.
Despite messages sent to Demo-
cratic members last week by party
leaders, the House doesn't plan to
transact any major business this
week. Party spokesmen explained
that the recall messages merely
were intended to assure the pres
ence of a quorum, 217 members.
Republicans followed through
with messages to their own MEM
bers reminding them that the re-
cess that started on August 26
ends at noon today and that DEM
ocrats had been told to be on hand
at that time.
Priority for Fund Bills.
While a dozen or more major
bills are pending, appropriation
bills furnishing . almost $20,0o0.-
100000 will have top priority.
They finance the Military Estab-
lishment. the Interior Department,
the Foreign Economic Recovery
Program and some miscellaneous
Federal agencies.
Pending final congressional ac-
ton, those agencies are being
financed on a temporary basis
until October /.
Still another appropriation bill
may be forthcoming to finance the
foreign arms aid program already
passed by the House and now be-
ing debated by the Senate, which
took no summer recess except for
a long Labor Day week end. The
bill under debate in the Senate
carries no funds for the arms pro-
gram. It merely gives it congress
sional sanction.
There is a chance that new labor
