But He Always Pays Up
BY the Assoeioted Press

LEBANON. Tenn, Nov. Ii
Gov. Fuller Warren of Florida
stopped by a barber shop here
yesterday and asked for Sam
Coplin.
Sans no longer here was the
reply.
The Governor handed Barber
Obie Davenport $2.10.

had bill at Coplin's Barber Shor
amounting to $2.10, but didn't have
the money.
Time slipped by.
Then yesterday the Governor

the old barber shop and pay the
21-year-old debt. Mr.. Davenport
the present owner, took the money
and said he will pay it on to Mr.
Coplin when he can find him.

British Story False
BY the Assceiafed Press

TOKYO, Nov. 11.-A spokes-
man at Gen. MacArthur's head
quarters today termed complete
fabrication" an assertion by a
British periodical that Gen. Mac
Arthur had disregarded orders to
avoid contact with the Chinese
Red troops in Korea.
The statement was published by
the independent left-wing States
man and Nation several days ago
1t asserted that Gen. MacAr-
thur had received instructions
suggested by the British govern
ment and approved by the State
Department. to avoid contact with
the Chinese forces.
"Once again, as in the case OF
Formosa." the magazine said
Gen. Macarthur has deliberately
disregarded the clearly expressed
purposes of his superiors." It de-
clared Gen. Macarthur seems in
tent on turning the Korean war
into a world war;
One of Gen. Macarthur s
closest aides called the statement
"a complete fabrication and with
out the slightest basis in fact"

The Justice Department an
nounced last night the deporta-
ton Of two persons it described
as prominently connected with

country.
They were identified by the de-
partment as Beatrice Johnson, 48,
a native Of Poland, and Andrew
Overgaard, IS, q native of Den

Apparently the new security act,

A Snarled vote tally in the Mich

defeated by his Democrat-Liberal
opponent, Ernest Greenwood.
Momentarily, at least, Repub-
lican Harry F. Kelly was back in
the lead last night in his fight to
unseat Michigan's Democrat Gov.
G. Mennen Williams. But State
election officials, who have discov-
cred a flood of errors, weren't con-
hdent of anything until the last
vote had been officially canvassed.
5000 Votes Not Tabulated.
Arithmetical errors bobbed up
in precinct after precinct, capped
by the discovery that somebody
had neglected to tabulate 5000
votes in Detroit. Mr.. Kelly had
appeared elected Wednesday, bus
after canvassing boards went into
action yesterday Gov. Williams
overcame his handicap and over
took his Republican rival by some
500 votes. Last night, however,
the discovery of a major error in
Macomb County put Mr.. Kelly
back ahead by 3l9 votes.
A definite count probably will
not be available until Monday.
Both parties were beginning to
throw charges of irregularities. A
recount appeared certain.
Connecticut Republicans filed
petitions last night for a State
wide recount in the contest for the
short-term Senate seat now held
by William Benton through ap-
pointment. Senator Benton held
a margin Of about 1900 votes over
his Republican opponent, Prescott
Bush. The Connecticut Supreme
Court will held a hearing Tuesday
whether to order the requested re-
count.
Senate Lineup Close.
If Senator Benton holds his
seat. the Senate lineup will be 10
Democrats to At Republicans,
But it would be a 48-48 tie If
Mr.. Bush should be held the win
ner. In that case, Vice President
Barkley would resolve the ap-
parent impasse in favor Of the
Democrats in organizing the Sen
ate.
With Mr.. Macy, counted out in

over Representative George H.

 5-DAY WEEK
 FOR MINERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18- A - Robert N. Denham, General Coun- sel of the National Labor Relations Beard, said today he is applying for court order to put coal min- CTS on normal five-day work week.
 Denl1am said a complaint charg- ing John L. Lewis and his miners union with unfair labor practices is the basis for the court action.
 Denham said his aides are go- ing into court this afternoon to apply for a temporary injunction.
 This type of application calls for a hearing to be set by the court before any order is issued.
 Denham said that he is not ask ing for a temporary restraining order the kind of legal proceeding which calls for immediate action by the court.
 Conceivably, it might be weeks before the court would act.
 Denhams complaint charges that Lewis has been failing to bargain in good faith with the coal operat- ors.
 The Taft-Hartley law requires in good faith and also permits the NLRB counsel to seek court orders barring unfair prac- tices" by management or a union.
