and the Nations Northern and
Western soft coal operators have
pushed back resumption of their
contract talks from July II to
July 10.
Announcement of the delay was
made yesterday oy Ezra Van Horn
spokesman for the operators, as
the miners ended their annual
Today holiday and began the
first three-day work week criered
by Mr.. Lewis.
Mr.. Van Horn would not ais-
cuss the postponement, other than
to say the delay was agreed on
to give both the UNIV and the
operators an opportunity to "caE-
vass mutual problems which are
expected to come up"

and the Southern operators will
get underway again July IL while
hard coal contract talks start al
Philadelphia tomorrow.

coal diggers yesterday marked the
first time in recent UNIV history
that the miners worked without
contract. The bituminous agree
ment ended last Thursday. the
same day Mr.. Lewis announced
his duespayers east of the Missis'
sippi would work only three days

week, while starting next week the
pits will be manned Monday. Tues.

Lewis Defends Move.
The three-day work plan. which
has drawn some congressional 1re
as we'll as sharp criticism from
the operators, was described u,
Mr.. Lewis as q move to avoie

They should respect the rights

mates, and learn at all times
to play a clean, fair and hon
est game.
They should learn to be hon
est in regard to property
which some other person has
lost and which, if found should
be restored to its true owner.
AS we go along our daily rou-
tine we give frequent talks
to create in them the true spir-
it of honesty teaching them
that it is much better to return
a lost article than to keep it
for themselves.
We are trying all we can tc
teach them that honesty is the
best policy, and are now ap-
pealing to their parents and
guardians to assist us in mo-
tivating the minds of their
children with the policy of be-
ing honest.
The most vital interest Of
children lie not along the
paths of ease and pleasant
ness, but on the road to ser
ious strenuous effort, and if
their parents would cooperate
with us and help us to put
forth every effort in helping
to give serious talks at home
about little acts of dishonesty
which they would try to com
NIT at school or elsewhere
some of the results of the more
serious offense outside of
school would be eliminated.

dering what is the cause of
this great evil which is almost
suddenly springing up into the
minds of the youth.
Even though we are endea-

them the policy Of being hon

grown into manhood and wo-
manhood they will become
good, honest citizens, not only
to themselves but to their

dangerous evil confronting us.
We are trying to teach them
the real meaning of absolute
honesty in giving lee
lures and lessons in character
building to show them that it
is far better to be honest than
dishonest; also that it is wrong
and dangerous to take the pro-
perty of others without their
consent. Yet there are many
temptations which lead to dis
honesty.
Very often we find pupils
involved in little acts Of dis
honesty such as cheating ans
wers to problems, getting some
one to do their homework, and
many other little acts of such
kind which should be taken
care of Immediately. Of course
one may think that this is a.
trivial guilt, but an honest
minded boy or girl would en-
deavor to work his own pro
blem, rather than have some
one else to do it for him or her.
These are the traits we are
trying to foster into the minds
of our children. Children must
be made to understand from
now that these small acts Of
dishonesty will eventually
grow into greater ones which
will tend to lead them into the
wrongs and evils that will
bring not only shame but dis

Chiefs Of Staff Call Off Mock Superiority" Duel

WASHINGTON lP)-The mock duel in the sky between the air forces mighty B-36 and the navy's best Banshee jet fighters suggested by Congress has been turned down by the joint chiefs of staff for security reasons.
 The recommendation to call off the public feud air battle was first made known in copyrighted story, in the Washington Times Herald shortly after the House armed services committee ordered a full investigation of why the B-36 came to be the heavyweight darling of the air force:
 The possibility remained that such bang-you're-dead test might be conducted later in deep est secrecy.
 But the joint command, in let ter forwarded to chairman VinsOn O.-GaO of the committee by sec retary of defense Johnson, said such battle between the two best planes of the two rival serv- ices would divulge vital informa- ton.
 The letter also said such an event would serve no useful pur- pose.

Pilot Claim He
 "ShOt Down" B-36

PHIL ADELPHIA, (4) - The Philadelphia Inquirer said yeSter- day air force speed pilot Charles Yeager has made 50 out of 50 destructive passes" at the re- port edly ''invulnerable" B-36 bomber.
 The six-engine plane has been the subject of a House armed services committee investigation.
 The newspaper in a story from its Washington bureau, said this information twas made available to the Inquirer:
 A member of the House armed services committee has in his pos session a letter from one of cap tain Yeager's friends who claims that the air force has secret films of the tests which show that Yea ger, flying a North-American F-86 high altitude fighter was able to attack the bomber in simulated combat missions.
 The air force film showing how Yeager was able to reach the B-36 is under lock and key, the In quirer story said, but may be pro duced and possibly shown to com mittee members in executive seS- sion if the committee subpoenas it.

Air Force Is Wrecking B-36 Bomber In Test

DAYTON, (P) - Air force en- gineers yesterday continued their six weeks job of wrecking a six engine B-36 bomber.
 The destructive project is not just for fun. Engineers want to determine how much weight our largest air fortress can carry.
 The tests were started Wednes- day by the air materiel command at Wright-Patterson air base.
 One of the tasks for workmen was to twist or break one of the 230foot wings. They began load ing bags of lead on the silver sur face to create thousands of pounds of stress. Cables were attached tc the underside of the wings and secured tightly to the floor to ere ate even more pressure.
 William Miller, assistant pro- ject engineer, said it probably would take six weeks to destroy the huge bomber.

Senate Eliminates Housing Funds Voted For Alaska

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON (P)-Funds for starting Alaska's $15,00O,0OO hous- ing program were eliminated to- day from the second deficiency appropriation bill.
 The Senate today followed it's appropriations committee, which reported it had not allowed the money because within few weeks a report would be made by a special investigating group now enroute to Alaska from the houS- ing and home finance agency.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska told a reporter the report is expected within a short time and money may be included in the third de- ficiency appropriation bill.
 It is hoped, he added, that this procedure will permit construc- tion to start this summer.
 Senator Magnuson D.-WashD tried and failed to get the Senate to vote the $15,OOO,00O. His amendment was rejected by a standing vote.
 Magnuson pleaded for even Sl,OO0,00O, but chairman Nickel lar D.-TennD of the Senate ap- propriations committee refused to make and compromise. McKellar said the committee lacks the facts on which to base an appropria- tion..
