an "un-American" theory in his
dealings with the industry.
He said Mr.. Lewis "monopolis-
tic" control of the industry "harks
back to the cartel days of Europe
"a system which ruined Eng
lands coal industry"
Harry M. Moses, head of the
coal subsidiaries of the United
States Steel Corp, also gave the
board a written report on his
bargaining position.
/, Effects of the Nation wide strike
of 10000 mine workers mounted
Rail Service Cut Again.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission ordered a new and dras-
tic reduction in coal-burning rail-
road service because of dwindling
stocks of fuel. Effective at mid
night tomorrow, the Nations rail-
roads must cut back their coal
burning freight trains by Is per
cent and their coal-burning pas
senger trains by so per cent.
The Government in early Janu-
airy had ordered a one-third cut
in rail passenger service depend
ent on coal.
The coal shortage also was being
felt by steel producers and other
industries. About 10000 workers
outside the coal industry already
have been furloughed as a result
of the coal shortage.
The Wheeling Steel Corp. re-
duced its operations drastically.
And in Detroit the General Mo-
tors Corp. declared it was aban-
doning plans to expand produc-
tion.
The fuel crisis. being felt par
ticularly in the Midwest, also re-
suited in emergeny furloughs for
IS per cent of the $4,000 soldiers
stationed at Chanute Air Force
Base. III.
When the fact-f1nding board
brought about resumption of the
coal contract talks yesterday, two
negotiating meetings were set up.
Mr.. Lewis met at the Hotel Statler
with Northern, Western and steel
company mine operators. Another
UWM negotiating team, headed by
John Owens, the unions secretary
treasurer, conferred concurrently
with Southern coal producers at
the Mayhower Hotel.
With the three members of the
inquiry board sitting in as "ob-
servers" the coal disputants con-
ferred for more than four hours
yesterday afternoon and returned
later for another four-hour night
session.
While no agreement was forth
coming, apparently Mr.. Lewis and
the operators did make more
headway toward a resolution of
contract issues in the conferences
than they had in the previous
eight months since the old con-
tract expired June 80.

Top West Scientists
Confer at HorweU
On Atomic Secrecy
BY The As,ocioted Press

LONDON, Feb. Top
American, British and Cana
dian scientists met today at
Britain's atomic city, Har-
well, to review the East-West
race for supremacy in atom
research.
The talks opened amid
elaborate secrecy precautions.
Reliable informants said that
while the case of DR.. Klaus
Fuchs, British scientist &C
cused of giving away atom
secrets, had no place on the
conference agenda, it was
certain its implications would
be discussed.
Official sources said the
scientists would give much
consideration to the achieve
ment by Russia of an atomic
explosion.
Basic purpose of the con-
ference is to consider what
further atomic information
can be released from the top
secret category.

Carville, La, Feb. 9.-About
half the cases of Hansen's dis
ease Qeprosy) at the United
States Marine Hospital uepro-
sarium) here are being controlled
by a sulfa drug derivative, the
institutions superintendent re-
ported yesterday.
DIR. Frederick Johanssen, SUPER
intendent. said in an interview
about so per cent of the cases are
being "clinically and bacterior-
ologically" controlled. The doc.
tor explained this meant the dis.
ease is arrested from developing
to its final and fatal stage.
The use of the sulfone drugs
began at Carville in 1941. Dr.
Johanssen said, when the per.
centage of cases controlled was
very low. Since then, year by
year, the drug has raised this per.
centage steadily.
Now the hospital is using a new
.sulfone, promacetin, and will soor
publish a report on it's effect, DIR

prisoners of war in German ane

Legislation passed by Congress
after the war allows a s1-a-day
payment only for days on which
American prisoners did not get

Father Says Fuchs Has Brain
Of Giont, Naive Soul of Child
EmphotieoIIy Denies
He Ever Declared
Son Was Communist
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Feb. 9.-Klaus
Fuchs. Britain's top atom scien-
tist arrested for passing atomic
secrets to foreign power, has
the brain of a giant, but the naive
soul of a child" his father said
today.
Interviewed by telephone, 75-
year-old Prof. Emil Fuchs said
IN trembling voice:
Il am convinced my son is not
guilty of the charges against him
I have never said my son was a
Communist. He was a freedom
loving opponent of Naziism."
Klaus Fuchs is due to 60 on
trial in Bow Street Court, London
tomorrow on two charges that he
supplied Anglo-American atom
secrets to a foreign nation in 1945
and 1947.
His aging father is a professor
of theology at Leipzig University
deep in the Russian zone of Ger
many.
Prof. Fuchs said he would like
to intercede in his sons defense
at tomorrow's London trial.
But you see I am helpless" he
said.
"It is an infamous lie that I
ever said that my son was a Com
munist," the theology professor
said. Il never talked by phone
with anybody from Berlin" Such
a report has been published.
The scientist, Prof. Fuchs said,
fled to England after a secret Nazi
students organization condemned
him to death because he opposed
Hitler"
Prof. Fuchs himself was in Eng
land and the United States last
year, he said. He said he stayed
for nine months in the United
States and then went to England,
where he stayed with his son.
II last saw him on August II,
l949. at his home" Prof. Fuchs
said. He suggested that I should
give up my work in Leipzig and
stay with him. But I decided I
should return to my work here"
The father said he, himself, was
imprisoned for a short time by the
Nazis in 1888 because I said a
few things against Hitler" Later,
he said he was freed after a leader
of the anti-Hitler resistance move
ment came to his support.
In London the press section of
the United States Embassy said
nobody from the Embassy will be
present in court tomorrow in any
official capacity when Fuchs trial
begins. However, it seemed prob

THE only way we can find out
disposition is to send men over to
search for them, which is quite a
job" Maj. Barrett told the COM
mittee.
Lack of Reports Found.
Mr.. Fischback then asked 1t.
Hartman about the failure of some
precinct captains to report Of
lenses for statistical purposes" :"
1t. Hartman said he had discov-
cred this when he was compiling
the report for the subcommittee
and had Immediately reported it
to Inspector Walter Storm. who is
in charge of central communica-
tionS and records.
Inspector Storm said he had
called in all the precinct captains
and unit commanders and was
convinced the offense reports were
not sent in because the COM
manders didn't understand the
provisions of the general order on
this subject"
In most instances, he said. 1t
was discovered that the precincts
had records of the offenses in
their own files, but had not sent
in the necessary forms to head
quarters. This situation has since
been corrected, he testified.
Cases Classified.
The committee was given

position of cases so far as they
are known to police. This was
