Mine Operates Under Guard
After 2 Heavy Explosions

JASPER, Ala, Mar. 2 (P).-The
Preskitt strip mine, rocked by
two heavy explosions. continued
in operation today under a "a
hour guard.
The strip operation was one of
two small, non-union mines dam
aged by dynamite blasts last night.
The other was the Taylor & Lee
strip mine about six miles north
of Jasper. Total damage was esti-
mated at about $4,000.
James H. Taylor, co-owner of
the T. & L. mine, said damage to
equipment there was figured at
$l75,000. The loss included two
heavy shovels and a bulldozer.
The mine owner said the opera
ton was closed down February 81
after a band of armed men
warned employees to quit work.
Plans had been made to reopen
Monday. but Mr.. Taylor said I'VE
don't know yet what we're going
to do"
The other mine, operated by
seven Preskitt brothers, resumed
work yesterday despite an esti-
mated $1,000 damage to equip

In Mine Owners Suit
BY the Associated Press

DEFIANCE, Ohio, Mar. "A
summons was served on President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers. while he was on train
going through Ohio last night
the second time in less than six
weeks.
Last night a summons ordering
him to prepare an answer to a
coal mine operators suit seeking
ST SOC. 900 damages was served by
Deputy Sheriff Donald v. Keh-
mast of Defiance.
On January 10, about II sum-
moneses were served on the mine
leader in similar suits seeking
50 million damages from him and
his union.
All the suits were filed by mine
operators under Ohio's Valentine
Act, which prohibits combinations
of any kind to limit or reduce the
production or affect the price of
coal and other commodities.

issued in Franklin County Co.

The White House has not yet
acted on the plan.
The Secretary said that the
Army's strength would be 10 divi-
sions next year, instead of nine
as originally planned, as a result
of the economy program. Two
additional anti-aircraft battalions
also are planned.
Mr.. Johnson said economies
worked out since last August also
would mean 100000 more combat
plane flying hours for the Navy
and increase Army equipment pro-
curement by $41 million in fiscal
1851.
The revised budget ceiling for
the fiscal year ending June 80
Mr.. Johnson reported, total $12,-
663 600, 900. Congress appropri-
ated $139 billion. including
$736 million to increase the All
Force from 48 to 58 groups. The
President froze the item and Mr.
johnson did not list it as saving
In addition. he said. the de-
partment has absorbed another
$592 million in costs for military
pay increases, the Berlin airlift
the mothballing of ships and in
stallations and getting the Ma
tion-wide radar screen started.
Overall Saving of S1% Billion.
Using the Presidents 1850 de-
fense budget of $14,218,000, 900
Mr.. johnson said the overall es-
timated total of savings, reduc-
tions and absorbed costs would
be 1882, ,000,o00 for the year
ending June 80.
When the economy target
figures were first set last year, he
said, the military departments
initially "cut too deeply" into
combat effectiveness-the Navy
and Air Force proposing substan-
tial reductions in aircraft pro-
curement. But "a critical project
by project evaluation" by his staff
changed this situation and cur
rently the Army is spending 81
1T, 100000, the Navy $685., ,o00,-
600, and the Air Force $4,501,- :
900, 600.
Mr.. johnson told newsmen that
it was felt that the aircraft in
dustry should have a backlog of
some IS billion worth of military
orders at all times to be capable
Of rapid expansion in wartime.
He estimated that the backlog
would be about $500 million less
when current spending '1evels
off,"
However, he added, the current
programs would delay a solution
Ito this very serious problem" for
several years.

Of the atomic problem was sched-
uled.
U. N. Secretary General Trygve
Lie, the Associated Press reported
from New York, already has been
sounding out Security Council
and other U. N. members on the
possibility of a special session of
the General Assembly in New
York, Paris or Moscow to try to
break the East West deadlocks
over atomic energy and Commu-
mist China.
No decision has been made on
the Lie proposal so far, and talks
are continuing, it was said.
Apparently there was no direct
connection between Senator Nc
Mahon's proposal and the Lie
talks or the plans for the North
Atlantic Council meeting.
In view of the stand taken by
President Truman and Secretary
of State Acheson so far that any
new approach to Russia would be
useless in present circumstances,
there was considerable doubt
whether Mr.. Acheson would take
up Senator McMahon's idea with
the other Western foreign min
listers.
The planned spring meeting
would provide opportunity, how
ever, for such discussion if the
administration should decide it is
desirable.
1t also would enable the big

MIR. Acheson, French Foreign
Minister Schuman and British For
eign Secretary Bevin-to confer
separately on any subjects. MIR
Acheson, without discussing the

told a news conference yesterday
that meetings with Mr.. Bevin and
Mr.. Schuman might well be need
ed this spring. although he had
reached no conclusion yet.
Besides the United States, Brit
ain and France. countries repre-
sented in the North Atlantic
Council by their foreign ministers
are Belgium, Canada, the Neither
lands, Italy, Norway, Luxembourg
Denmark, Portugal and Iceland.
Warns of Hydrogen War.
Senator Mcmahon, chairman OF
the Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Atomic Energy, coupled his
proposal with grim warnings OF
the horror of a hydrogen bomb
war and said that "if we do not
act, the atom will"
A conference Of the Western
powers allied under the North
lAtlantic treaty. he asserted

could lay the groundwork for a
new approach to Russia on con-
trolling atomic energy by Great
ing "a climate of peace"
He suggested that the North
Atlantic Council review the
whole problem of international
atomic control, formulate its
program. and then approach the
Kremlin. He emphasized that
essential features of the U. N.
atomic control plan. which Russia
SO far has rejected. should be
retained to provide "rascal-proof
safeguards" "
Merse Praises Speech.
Congratulating Senator Nc
Mahon on his speech, which he
called historic, Senator Morse,
Republican, Of Oregon. observed
that "the time is short for pre-
venting World War III from which
no victor will emerge"
Senator Douglas, Democrat. Of
Illinois. said Senator McMahon's s
proposal contained mo sign Of
weakness. no element of fear" or
any approach to another Mu-
nich," but represented an effort
to solve a problem in which the
life Of civilization may be at stake.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of
New York, said he does not pre-
tend to know "how this awesome
situation should be handled" but
he said the public should be made
aware of the danger and that
spiritual as well as military
strength should be marshalled to
deal with it.

"Misstatement No. 9" on Sena-
tor Byrd's list was the charge
that his committee is used merely
as publicity medium" In re-
ply, he pointed out the commit
tee is composed of the chairmen
and ranking minority members
of the House and Senate Appro-
priations Committees, House Ways
and Means Committee, Senate FL
nance Committee, the Secretary
of the Treasury and the director
of the budget. He said these men
require no publicity medium.
Senator Byrd declared that
both he and the committee "have
made enemies in the ranks of
those who resent any and all ef-
forts to balance the budget. to
retrench and to eliminate the
waste and extravaganza that per-
meates virtually every branch OF

In defense of the cost of main

to pay $50 fine or serve so days

Explains Difficulty of Proof.
The prosecutor explained re-
peatedly that, to get a convic-
ton on a charge of receiving sto-
len property, there must be con-
elusive evidence that the person
charged knew the property was
stolen when he accepted it. Mr..
Wilson said he did not have suf-
f1cient proof OF the mans guilty
knowledge to press the felony
charge, but he thought the man
should have some punishment.
That, he said, was why he
charged the man with petty lar
ceny.
Subcommittee Chairman Davis
wanted to know how petty larceny
got involved when the man had
been accused of accepting the
stolen property, not stealing it
himself.
Mr.. Wilson acknowledged petty
larceny was not involved, but he
added this was ''left-handed way
of teaching him a lesson"
At the same time, Mr.. Wilson
took this opportunity to urge re-
vising the language of the re-
ceiving stolen property law SO
that a distinction could be made
between a professional fence and
a person who bought stolen prop
erty because he couldn't resist
a bargain.
Judge Barse Testifies.
He argued that judges are re-
luctant to convict the receiver Of
stolen property on felony charge
when they know the thief who
stole the property may get of
with a light sentence for the mis-
demeanor of petty larceny.
For the first time, judge ap-
peared before the investigating
group yesterday but was not asked
for an opinion on the sentences
of his colleagues.
The witness, Chief Judge George
P. Barse of Municipal Court, testi-
fled briefly in favor of proposal
to create a council on law en-
forcement.
In asking the judge for his COM
ment on such council, Mr. Fisch-
bach explained it would operate

crime and to coordinate the worI
of the various law enforcement

Truman Stays Silent
On Effort to Scrap
Byrd Committee

President Truman today re-
fused to take sides In the
move in the Senate to do
away with the Expenditures
Committee headed by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia.
The President refused COM
ment when a reporter wanted
to know what he thought of
the idea of Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa, to get rid of the Byrd
committee.
Then a no ther questioner
wanted to know what he
thought of Senator Byrd's
offer to turn back his salary
to the Government as an
economy move. Mr.. Truman
dryly responded that that was
a very liberal gesture on the
part Of the Senator.

for Health Department violations
are far too low. He called for an
overhauling of the District Code
to strengthen penalties involving
offenses against the District and
gave these specific examples:
A man caught with burglary
tools before he actually breaks
into a place may be sentenced
only under the vagrancy statute
which carries a maximum penalty
of $500 fine or 80 days in jail.
A man could start a street fight
which might develop into an inter-
racial riot and receive a maximum
fine of $25 on a disorderly conduct
charge.
Since the reckless driving charge
carries a maximum penalty of
$3.50 or 80 days in jail, police and
prosecutors avoid that charge
wherever the driver has passed
enough stop signs and violated
enough other laws for the total
sentence to be sitter than it
would be If he were charged with
reckless driving.
Not Extraditable.
Mr.. King also complained that,
because violations Of District laws
are not extraditable offenses, a
man might step into the District,
violate the law and then cross the
street into Maryland and be free
tof arrest.
The part of Mr.. Kings testi-
mony, however, that brought in
credulous expressions to the faces
| of the subcommittee members was
his statement that he and the
other four assistants in the GRIM
inal division have no law library,
no stenographic help and no one
to keep their files up to date.
Mr.. King said the assistants
must type their own briefs and
must leave the building if they
want to look up a decision of the
United States Court of Appeals OF
Municipal Court of Appeals. He
said he paid out Of his own pocket
flor. the law books in his court
