Historic York Cathedral
CrumbIine, Dean Warns
By the Assoeio,ed Press

YORK. England, Nov. a.
York Cathedral is falling down.
The Very Rev. E. Miner White,
dean of the centuries-old church,
said four tons of masonry tum-
bled from the west front during
the summer. He has just posted
warning notices.
1t will take f250 900 ($700, ,000)
fully to restore the historic struc-
ture, Mr.. Milner-White said.
Meanwhile. 1t remains in use.
Ofacially 1t is the Cathedral Of
st. Peter. Parts Of the present
building date back to the 18th
century.

nary to Federal court Injunction.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Lewis reported
ly was still in New York where he
is putting on the pressure to break
the united front of the coal in
dustry against his new contract
demands. Mr.. Lewis is trying to
persuade a segment of the coal
industry to settle with his United
Mine Workers and set pattern
for the rest of the industry.
John D. Battle, executive vice
president Of the National Coal
Association here, loosed a new
blast at Mr.. Lewis in which he
said. TT is unthinkable that John
Lewis will attempt to impose upon
the American people another
strike December l as he has
threatened to do"
Declared Destroying Jobs.
He was referring to Mr.. Lewis
announcement of a truce in the
52-day mine strike last week in
which the UNIV president told the
380, 900 miners to return to work
through November 80 in the "re-
mote" chance that such a move
may enhance" chances of reach
ing contract agreement with the
operators.
Mr., Battle charged that Mr..
Lewis by his actions is destroy
ing the markets for coal, thereby
destroying their (the miners)
Jobs"
He added that MIR. Lewis has
not been willing to consider the
operators proposals. and he has
not presented any sound basis on
which the industry can operate.
Recent events furnis h
abundant evidence that the men
are willing and eager to work at
what they know are the highest
rates of any workers in America. "
Mr.. Battle said.
Little Hope of Settlement
Despite the plans Of the Gov
ernment and the activity of Mr..
Lewis in seeking out the weakest
link in the operators resistance to
his demands, there was no hopeful
sign that the coal dispute Is any
where near settlement.
Mr.. Lewis. from his own state
ments. would not agree to submit
! the dispute to an extra-legal fact
finding board Of the type Presi-
dent Truman appointed to help
final resolution Of the steel indus
try dispute. Since the miners al
ready are paid well In relation to
other industrial workers and have
a fat welfare and pension plan, it
is unlikely that q board would give
Mr.. Lewis much If anything at all.
The operators and UNIV are
so far apart in their views as to
terms of a new contract that it
is highly unlikely that any pro-
gress could be made even If Mr..
Ching succeeds in bringing about
q resumption Of negotiations.
The only thing left to Mr.. Tru-
man would be the Taft-Hartley
Act and its Injunction delaying
a strike for 80 days. This week
probably will see President Tru-
man finally step into the long coal
dispute.
Actually. the mine operators
offer to Mr.. Lewis, referred to by
Mr.. Battle, would be a step back
ward for the miners, since it is
based on renewal of the old con-
tract with some deletions in the
EMPLOYERS favor.

Public Utilities Commission hear
ings on proposed bus route changes
in the Southeast section have been
continued until February IA, when
evidence will be presented by repre-
sentatives of Boiling Air Force Base.
This was announced late yester-
day by PUG Chairman James H.
Flanagan. The Boiling Field spokes-
men, representing a large number
of persons who use Capital Transit
buses to get to and from down.
town, plan to protest proposed elm
ination of the scent fare for rides
from the field to Nichols avenue Sc.
The Capital Transit plan, which
would extend new bus routingS into
some recently developed parts OF
the Southeast section and cut down
service in older areas, Is calculated
to reach q greater number OF pa
irons without adding to the cost OF
operations. All the areas affected
are on the other side Of the Ana
cost River.
Mixed Reaction to Proposal.
The more than 100 Southeast resi-
dents who appeared at the hearing
gave the PUG with a mixed reaction
to the broad Capital Transit proposal.
Persons living in Hillcrest bitterly
opposed any less service than they
now receive. Residents OF Shlpley
Terrace, which is inadequately
served at present, lauded the pro-
posed changes by which they stand
to benefit.
Frederick Belem, 241s Congress
street Sc. president of the Shipley
Terrace Citizens Association, said
he was not disputing the Hillcrest
desire to keep present service but
pointed out that the transit COM
pany, year ago, opposed shuttle
service for Shipley Terrace.
Now the company has had a
change of heart" Mr.. Belem de-
clared, land that in itself is over
whe1ming proof of our need"
Frank H. Kramer, 2918 w street
Sc, of the Hillcrest Citizens As
sociation, told the PUG the main
problem for every one is to get bets
ter service into town and not just to
Barney Circle. He suggested di-
rect bus route from Thirty-sixth
street via Twenty-eighth street and
continuation of the old CO route
through Fairfax Village. Mr.. Kramer
opposed extension of the WA line,
declaring there is no real need for it.
Terminal Elimination Asked.
r. j. Vierbuchem, 2601 Suitland
road Sc, of the Summit Park Citi-
zens' Association, asked that the
terminus of the CO line at Thirty
sixth and Bangor streets Sc. be
eliminated. He charged that bus
drivers, racing their motors, damage
homes of residents near the termi-
nus through vibration.
Mrs. J. T. Mcintosh, jr., 3008 w
street Sc. representing the Stanton
School PTA. urged ANY and all
improvements for the Southeast
Washington transportation network.
Mrs. Mcintosh, however, objected
to the proposed new transfer point
ut Good Hope road.
Capital Transit's proposal would
extend the W. Portland street bus
line, so as to make unnecessary
certain portions of the CO line;
extend the W-2 Shipley Terrace line
to Barney Circle and change the
name Of the line to CO; discon-
tinue the CO Thirty-sixth street
and Alabama avenue Sc. line and
extend the Wa Portland street line;
serve Trenton place as part of the
operation of the Wheeler road V-S
line.

A limited exception would permit

Mr.. Mcmillan said the American

the District had been given relief
from real estae taxes. He said this
was the first time, insofar as he
knew, that exemption from personal
