However, there still was no sign

Meanwhile. the Iron Age, metal

it will take the industry five or six
months to make up the loss of
steel output caused by the strike

Editors Told Of Peril
In Baltimore Gag
On Crime News
BY the Associated Press

81 FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. a.
A dangerous national precedent
may be set unless Baltimore
newspapers succeed in upsetting a
gag rule seriously hamstringing
full reporting of crime news be-
fore it comes into the courts, a
Baltimore editor warned yester-
day.
1--WE have won the. first round
: in the State Court of Appeals"
said MacLean Patterson, general
managing editor OF the Baltimore
Sun, in describing his papers
fight on "Rule 9O4." The attorney
general of Maryland is now seek
ing a reversal in the United States
Supreme Court, he said.
Mr.. Patterson. in Fort Worth
for the Associated Press Manag-
ing Editors Association meeting,
said the rule prohibits publication
of details of a crime and bans the
linking of crime with the
accused. or with persons arrested
on suspicion.
It was imposed, he said, by the
Supreme Bench Of Baltimore and
became an issue in the courts when
three Baltimore radio stations vio-
lated the ban by reporting details
of the murder of a little girl.
Rule 904 bars the papers from
printing information on crime
obtained from policemen and even
details of confessions made by
defendants. ~ ..
The Supreme Bench of Balti-
more handed hown the rule, Mr..
Patterson said, in the belief fair
hearing for defendants would be
insured without prejudice created
by publicity.
But the rule is self defeating.
the youthful news executive added.
Papers in Washington, a few
miles away, don't come under it,
he said. "They pour into Balti-
more with all the details of the
crime. Even county papers outside
Baltimore can print the stories
the ban applies only to the news
papers and radio stations in the
CITY,"

Plans for ADVANCING
Economic Unification
Of Europe Drafted
By ths Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 2.-Leaders of the
European end of the Marshall
Plan agreed today on a program
for expanding the economic CO.
operations Of participating ma
lions. informed sources said.
Members Of the Consultative
Committee worked out the text of
a resolution on this subject, to
be submitted to the full council
of the European Economic Co.
Operation Organization.
Sources close to the OEEC said
part of the resolution dealing with
the organizations future work was
based on proposals made earlier
this week by Paul G. Hoffman,
chief of the United States Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
ton; French Finance Minister
Maurice Petsche, and Irish For
eign Minister Sean MacBride.
Mr.. Hoffman, in a statement
to the council Monday, urged Eu-
ropeans to set up an "integrated
economy" He said this should be
done in stages, If necessary,
through the formation of regional
free trading areas. :,
Britain has expressed some re-
luctance to join in a European
economic union.
Sir Stafford Cripps, Britain's
economic boss. in answering Mr..
Hoffman's call for free trading
areas, said yesterday Britain ia
vors European unity, but has spe-
cial problems with her world wide
commonwealth ties.
The new resolution is under
stood to have two main sections,
one dealing with the liberaliza-
ton of currency exchanges, the
other with the OEECs future
work.
The resolution will not be re-
leased until the council has had
a chance to make changes in the
Steering Committees text.
The section on the OEEC's fu-
ture envisages the creation of new
central economic branches, such
as a European monetary fund, it,

"Some of them I have known

Pile. 1t was agreed that I should
appeal to you for an immediate
settlement of the controversy be-
tween the mine operators and
miners in order that this tragedy
and suffering may be averted."
Mr.. Lewis replied that the
UMW's efforts to reach agreement
with the mine operators have
been stalemated by major indus
trial and financial interests" and
that such an agreement is prime
requisite to the operation of mines

chief continued, that the repre-
sentatives of the United Mine
Workers will negotiate with them

operators of any other State if
they desire to make an agreement
for Indiana"
He said that If the operators
accept the proposal "our repre-
sentatives will promptly meet with
them to work out tentative agree

presented for approval to the

meets in Chicago next Monday.

Regarding the emergency sit
uation in Indiana, MIR. Lewis
declared that steel plants and
other manufacturers in the State
ARE now boarding a million or
more tons Of high grade coal -
in excess of their present re-
quirements."

Committee which you created"
he. suggested, Certainly should
arrange for the distribution of
this boarded and excess fuel to
tide over the emergency you de-
scribe in your telegram during
the period required by the Indiana
operators to negotiate an agree
ment."
Indiana operators, along with
those from Illinois, have been de-
scribed as anxious to make q sep
arate contract with the miners.
Mr.. Lewis had summoned his
Policy Committee to Chicago for
the stated purpose Of reviewing
contract negotiations and exer-
cising "its discretionary powers in
the authorization of further pro-
cedures."
The unusual Lewis action of
meeting in Chicago rather than
UNIV headquarters here was
interpreted as move to put pres
sure on some big Illinois coal
operators who are known to be
anxious to make a contract, end
ing the mine strike.
Truce Seen Possible.
There was also the possibility
that Mr.. Lewis may be planning
a truce in the soft-coal shutdown.
In the past he has called off his
strikes, although sometimes only
briefly. when shortages of coal

ously. This time the pinch is on

Polio Fund Short Of $500 Jackpot

Just another $24.25 would swell the Valleys contribution to the emergency polio drive to an even $500, committee chairman Don Ingalls, of the Loyal Order of Moose announced today. To date, the fund amounts to $475.75.
 However, because MT. Ingalls, feels there are Valley residents who would like to round out the contribution to an even figure, he will wait until Saturday to mail the check to the Polio Founda- tion. In the meantime, if there are those who would like to con- tribute, they may leave donations at Grasser's Hardware or with Mr. Ingalls,.
 MT. Ingalls, said last weeks Bingo party, the means by which the funds were raised, was a complete success. He expressed his gratitude to the Valley resi- dents who attended the event, to

Health Team BIames Child Deficiencies On Adult Example

Johnny's bad posture and his refusal to eat his spinach or drink his milk probably stem right back to the example set by Mother and Dad, nutritionist Rhoda Collins and orthopedic surgeon Karl Pel- ka told membrs of the Palmer P-TA this week.
 The health experts were guests at the meeting to discuss with parents the results of recent phy- sical examinations which showed many Valley children to be poor ly nourished and suffering pos tural defeats.
 Miss Collins said she believed Alaskan children lacked proper nutrition for the following rea- sons:
 CD Parents food habits and false ideas about foods need to be overcome. In this respect. she cited the entirely false theory that Alaskan foods have no vita mins. Miss Collins said labora- tory tests conducted in Juneau proved that Alaskan vegetables are as good, if not better, in Vita min C than stateside vegetables"
 @ Proper use is not made of the natural foods found in Alas ka. Outstanding examples of native foods that are extremely nutritious, according to Miss Col lins, are lambs quarter, fireweed and rose hips.

Sees Cooking Test, Specific Gravity
 As Most Important

Good will. education, and more uniformity in the potato produced are are the factors which will develop a large and stable market for the Valleys po- tato in Anchorage"
 That was the opinion voiced by Don L. Irwin of the Agricultural Research Administration this week, when discussing the cur- rent problem of how to reach the large potential consumer market in the neighboring city. The question was posed at a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting, when members expressed alarm over the amount of Valley money spent in Anchorage, in compari- son with the Anchorage money spent here.
 The potato, largest vegetable
 crop of the Valley, was selected as the most likely item to bring Anchorage food money to Palmer and the Valley. MT. Irwin was named to chairmanship of a Chamber of Commerce commit tee appointed to study the prob lem and bring recommendations for its solution.
 MT. Irwin yesterday submitted a list of 21 suggestions centered about the idea incorporated in his statement above. Most inn portant points in the list, in MT. 1rwin's own opinion, are those calling for a specific gravity test
