VOICE OF DEAD
 DENVER EDITOR
 DIRECTS FUNERAL

DENVER, Nov. B. R The mourners faced the flower-covered coffin holding the last mortal re- mains of Oscar O. Whitenack, 79, former editor of the Denver Post Open Forum
 With some surprise, they noted the absence of clergy or music
 Then a voice spoke out:
 This is my funeral. The clergy is a racket. I want no religious songs. This is going to be a per fectly rational funeral"
 The voice was Whitenack's. Sev- eral months ago, expecting death which finally came Saturday, he had planned and recorded his own services.
 The voice explained, T am an atheist and have been for many years
 It went on to attack religion the Bible, belief in a God. There was a pause. Then, very quietly, that's all" The body was buried in Crown Hill cemetery yesterday. The re- cord was placed in the casket.

Sherman Puts b0lSTERING Ba|Ienfine in AID DT0T|T0:
 His Old Post ACTION TAKEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-tR-The United States and Britain have eased their ban on the sale of commercial planes and aviation equipment to Yugoslavia. The first shipments, limited quantities of gasoline and lubricants, were cleared by the State Department today
 Diplomatic officials, reporting the U.S.-British move just before the fuel and lubricants sale was an- nounced, said it marks the late. !. step by the West to bolster Marshal Tito in his fight with Moscow and her Eastern European Allies.
 The State and National Defense Departments are reported to have decided on the move as another ot the calculated risks" of the cold war.
 The matter was agreed upon with the British. Then the two countries decided to notify other Western governments of their action in the hope that they will do the same.
 One idea is to clear the way for an "airlift" to Yugoslavia if that recel against Moscow domination of world Communism should be cut off by guerrilla attack from normal transport.

RESIDENTS ALONG
 HILLSIDE WARNEC

Residents above and below Cas- tineau Avenue near the piled de- bris of Sunday mornings slide were warned to leave their homes early last night by City Police.
 The police were alerted by J. L.. McNamara, City Engineer, after two men from the city street crew had climbed Mount Roberts along the slide-cleared path.
 They reported that stream action had undermined trees along the path of the slide and debris was hung up behind tree lying across the line of the slide.
 "As long as the rain continues, the situation is definitely danger ous," McNamara said today.
 Residents on both sides of Cas- sineau Avenue left their homes af- ter warnings by police and spent the night in hotels or in homes of friends.
 Mrs. Gail Carver, who lives at 2l5 Gastineau Avenue was one of those who left her home last night.
 She returned this morning, but she said, my husband and I cer- tainly appreciated the warning"

 ADMITTED TO
 LOWER BAIL


 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-LR-Tht U. s. Court of Appeals ruled today that the Il top American Com munists convicted of conspiracy may be released in bail pending appeal of their case.
 The court ruled that seven could be released on s20,0OO bail each and four on S30,00o bail apiece
 The Government originally ask ed that their total bail be set at $1 GOO ,O0O.
 Shortly after II am. three off cials ,of the bail fund of the Civi Rights Congress posted $260,000 ir negotiable 2l2 percent US. Trea- sury bonds in $5,O00 denominations The Civil Rights Congress has been listed by the US. Attorney Generals office as subversive.
 Their release was delayed, how ever, when the US. Attorneys of flee raised the question of whether the fines of $l0,00O imposed on each of the II should be paid to- day in addition to supplying bond.
 Clarification on the point was sought from the Court of Appeals
 An opinion handed down by Judges Learned Hand, Thomas w. Swan and Jerome N. Frank said that bail was being set because the Government conceded that the appeal herein raises a 'substan- tial question"
 Bail of $30,000 was set for Eu- gene Dennis, Jchn B. Williamson, Jacob Stachel, and Irving Potash
 $20,000 bail was fixed for Rob- ert G. Thomson, Benjamin J Davis, Jr., Harry Winston, John Gates, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter and Gus Hall.
 Previously the Government asked S100,000 bail each for Dennis, Pot ash, Stachel, Williamson, Hall, Green and Thomson. It recon mended $7,50O bail each for Davis, Winston, Gates and Winter.
 Irving s. Shapiro, Special Assist ant to the U. s. Attorney, told the Court of Appeals last Tuesday in urging the high bail for the Communists that that they cannot be relied upcn (to surrender if their convictions are confirmed"
 At the end of the trial the prose- cution described the II as poten- italy great security risks.
 The II were convicted of conspir- acy to advocate violent overthrow of the U. S. Government.

 One member was absent. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Force Chiet of Staff, left last night for an inspection visit to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

By DREW PEARSON

DJ O1kGVV l G<2xtoO4N iCopyrisnt. ls4s. by Bell Syndicate. Incl VASHINGTON-To understand why Secretary of the Navy Mat thews had to discipline Adm. Louis Denfeld-whom this column has consistently praised-you have to understand what has gone on in the Navy for long period of time.
 Over the 50-year period begin- ming with Teddy Roosevelt, the ad- mirals have led almost a charmed life. They had behind them the personal glamour and publicity that radiated from those two dyn- annie Presidents-Teddy and FOR plus the secret but powerful sup port of Bethlehem Steel, U. S.. Steel, Westinghouse Electric and other big corporations whose busi- ness flourished from building bat tleships.
 The only two presidents who bucked the Navy in that period Coolidge and Hoover-faced an admiral's revolt not unlike that of today, aided and abetted by the big steel and ship-building companies.
 Greatest heyday of the admirals came under Franklin Roosevelt. They have never got over this, and Secretary Matthews is now reap ing the consequences.
 FDR appointed as his Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson, a delightful and aging ex-Senator

! STRIKES MAY GO TO
 PRESIDENT
Belief that Government
 Must Take Action Not Later thdn Weekend

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3--tR--Re. ports that the government may soon step into the coal strike revived today with word that Indiana op- orators have refused separate peace talks with John L. Lewis.
 One highly-placed official closely watching the steel-coal strike crisis said: We can't let Lewis go much beyond this weekend"
 He indicated that unless there is some progress toward settling the 46-day coal strike the govern ment will invite Lewis and opera tors to Washington negotiations. probably some time next week.
 Failure of such Federal talks would put the coal problem up to President Truman. Up to now, MT. Truman has held that neither the coal nor steel strikes has reached the national emergency stage.
 The Indiana operators last night turned down proposal of Gov. Henry Schricker of Indiana for a separate coal pact covering that state. Lewis had accepted the idea, saying he could submit any tenta- tive offer to his unions policy committee at it's meeting in Chi cago Monday
 An appeal similar to Gov. Schricker's was made by Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. But Stevenson confined himself to a plea to both sides for a quick peace plan.
 Minnesota's Gov. Luther w. Youngdahl also called for an end to the strike, but he addressed his appeal to President Truman.
 There are almost million men on strike in the coal and steel stop pages. The steel strike has been going on since oct. l.
 CIO President Philip Murray. directing the steel strike, has won pension- insurance settlement with the Bethlehem Steel Corp, the nations second largest pro- ducer. While presiding over the annual CIO convention at Cleve- land. Murray is trying to get other steel firms to take the Bethlehem terms.
 LATE LEWIS MOVE
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--iR- John L. Lewis today asked Gov ernor Henry Schricker to renew his effort for separate coal strike settlement in Indiana--a proposal rejected by the States mine owners yesterday.
 Such a settlement might break the way for ending the nation- wide strike of 100000 United Mine Workers.
 Lewis, in telegram to Schrick- CT, declared the UNIV is ready to meet the Indiana operators "on few hours notice"
 He called the refusal Of Indiana operators to hold separate peace talks-announced yesterday by Har- vey Cartwright, secretary of the Indiana Coal Producers Associa- tion-a brutal rejection of the Governors peace efforts. The UNIV chief made his new move amid revived reports that the government soon may step into the coal strike.
 Peace efforts in the companion steel strike meanwhile were ap- parently at standstill with com- pany negotiators reported marking ime and awaiting United Steel Worker moves.
