Byrd Demands Truman
Use Taft-HartIy Act
To End Coal Strike

Use of the Taft-Hartley Act to
end the present coal walkout last
might was demanded by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, as he
outlined his anti-administration
policies before the Alexandria
Chamber of Commerce.
Declaring that he was proud to
have fought side by side with
Republican Senator Taft against
repeal of the labor law, the con-
servative Democratic leader
warned that the Nations coal
supply is diminishing daily be-
cause Of the present impasse.
The Alexandria businessmen
heard Senator Byrd repeat his
warnings that America is on the
road to socialism. He said So
cialized medicine. socialized hous-
ing and socialized farming would
commit the country to socialist
state.
Never in my II years in Con-
gress have I seen in Washington
such well-designed program to
commit this country to socialism
as today" the Senator added.
The battle lines now are being
formed. said Senator Byrd, be-
tween those who want to "fortify
our national principles" and those
who want to go on to socialism
The Senator also voiced his
often-repeated plea for a balanced
budget. He said he wanted to cut
the proposed 1850 fiscal expendi-
lures from a proposed $43 1000, ,000,-
900 to $36 900, ,000,0 900.

Judge Ryan said opposing coun-
sci could renew their arguments
tomorrow before the jury re-
turned to the courtroom. He
again suggested that defense
counsel "try to get together"
Mr.. Pomerantz replied that he
felt he had encountered some
thing deeper than incompati-
bility."
Miss Coplon. former Justice De-
partment analyst of confidential
documents, followed the .argu-
ments with bright-eyed interest
But at the opposite end of the
counsel table the short blond Rus

He had a toothache. He showed
no interest at all in the argument
raging about him.

erantz informed Judge Ryan that
Gubitchev planned to have a
tooth extracted this afternoon. He
suggested that the trial be re-
cessed until Friday to give his

extraction. Judge Ryan refused
declaring he felt confident Gubit-
chev would feel all right in the
morning.

Judge Ryan interrupted to say
he thought his ruling on the
Washington trial was clear. He
said Mr.. Palmer could refer to

Washington trial which he in
tended to bring out at this trial

Playing the second game in
their semifinal best Of seven Stan

Toronto Maple Leafs, the Red
Wings drew even at one victory
each by winning a f1ght-f1lled fray
at Detroit. 81. Fisticuffs took
place frequently and 19 penal
ties, including two majors, were
called.
It was in Tuesday nights first
game that Detroit's star wing
man, Howe, received head injuries
that resulted in his undergoing a
delicate brain operation. The
Wings claimed that Howe was
struck by the stick of Toronto's
Ted Kennedy.
This was refuted by three Off
cials of the game in National
Hockey League investigation and
also by the Toronto club. Toron-
to won the opener. SO.
The Wings, winners of the reg
ular season title, began the play
offs with Toronto as favorite, but
the loss of Howe and their bad
licking Tuesday changed things
around. Now they're back in the
thick of the battle. Furthermore
last nights was their first play
off victory over the Leafs in 13

physician, issued a bulletin on
Howe's condition which said:
