ChrisfoffeI Trial Stalls
On Refusal of House
To Provide Records
Judge Orders Recess
As Defense Demands
Committee Minutes

The perjury trial of Harold R.
Christoffel stalled this morning
when the defense announced it
could not proceed without certain
Congressional records which the
House so far has refused to pro-
vide.
Judge F. Dickinson Let's Or
dered a recess in District Court
until this afternoon pending fur
ther word from the House. The
judge asked Ralph R. Roberts,
clerk of the House, whether the
records would be Forthcoming.
Christoffel, a former Milwaukee
labor leader, is accused of per-
jury before House Labor Com
mittee. He appeared before the
committee in 1947, testifying thai
he had no Communist affiliations
He now is being tried for tn.
second time as result of his tes.
timony and the defense is seeking
the records of the House com.
mittee.
Committee Studies Request.
The defense charges that q
committee quorum was not pres
ent when Christoffel testified. The
prosecution, however. has pre-
sented 13 witnesses-members and
former members of Congress-
who testified that they were pres
ent at the committee hearing.
The 13 would constitute a quorum.
Mr.. Roberts told the court that
the House yesterday ordered its
Judiciary Committee to study the
defense request. Representative
Walter, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania offered a resolution in
which he pointed out that non
House documents can be taken
out Of it's possession by the order
of ordinary courts of justice"
Judge Let's last month author
lied subpoena for the records.
Commenting on Congress atti-
tude, Judge Let's said today that
he found it difficult to understand
their reluctance"
'The court cannot reach a con-
clusion in this case without this
evidence" the judge
added.
R0gge Has Asked Often.
Defense Counsel o. John Rogge
has repeatedly asked to see the
records. He said he especially
wants to see the minutes of the
March /. 1947, executive session
which the Labor Committee held
Immediately after public session.
The lawyer contends that a
quorum was lacking and, thus.
any perjury which may have been
committed by Christoffel thus
could not be prosecuted. Unless
Congress produces the records the
perjury charges should be dis
missed, he told reporters.
The Supreme Court reversed
Christoffel's conviction at his first
trial on similar charges. The
court held that the Government
failed to show that a quorum was
at the committee hearing
Before the recess, Judge Let's
ordered the Government to pay
the costs of bringing seven wit
nesses from Wisconsin to testify
for the defense.
In the absence of the jury this
Judge Let's also rejected
4 defense motion for a directed
verdict of acuuittal.

Coal Board Ends
Inquiry, Plans 10
Report Saturday
Injunction Expected;
Lewis, Operators
To Make Statements
By james Y. kewon

President Truman's inquiry
board today abruptly ended hear
ings on the 8-month-old coal
contract dispute and said it would
try to have a report in the Presi-
dents hands by Saturday.
After receiving the boards re-
port, Mr.. Truman is expected to
instruct Attorney General Nc
Grath to seek a Taft Hartley Act
court injunction against the four
day strike of $4,000 United Mine
Workers. The District Court order
would be intended to restore peace
to the coal fields for 80 days.
David L. Cole, chairman of the
board of inquiry. concluded the
public hearings on the coal dis
pute Is minutes after today's ses-
sion started. He said the board
believes that further oral hearings
would be useless and he gave John
L. Lewis and the mine operators
until l pm. today to submit writ
ten statements.
Negotiations Proved Helpful.
Mr.. Cole and his two fellow
board members had tried for more
than eight hours to get Mr.. Lewis
and the operators to agree on a
new wage contract. The negotia-
tions, with board members sitting
in as observers, lasted until 1890
am.
Mr.. Cole said the board in the
negotiations learned more about
the facts and circumstances (of
the contract dispute) than we
might have learned in three or
four days of formal hearings" "
The negotiations brought con-
siderable clarif1cation as to is
sues" in dispute, Mr.. Cole said
The other two board members
w. Willard Wirtz and John Dun
lap concurred in that view.
The board chairman described
the position of the UNIV and op-
orators as to agreement on con-
tract as mot too unfavorable."
Some Issues Solved.
They will have to make con-
tract eventually through their
own devices and techniques," Mr..
Cole added.
He had said earlier that the coal
disputants had discussed contract
issues freely, adding that 81 think
it is fair to say that the parties
approached agreement on some of
the issues"
Joseph E. Moody, president of
the Southern Coal Producers As
sociation, who met with the UNIV
separately from the rest of the
industry, had a different slant.
He said that yesterdays negotia-
tions were fruitless so far as any
progress toward a settlement of
the coal controversy is con-
cerned."
He said the Southerners and
the miners are "hopelessly dead
locked on the issues involved, II
and added:
I'VE feel that we cannot in
fairnes to the coal industry and
to the public surrender to the
union and, at the present time
this seems the only way by which
an agreement can be reached"
Voluminous Data Filed.
The Southern operators filed
voluminous data with the boarc
of inquiry.

with strife for months because o1
