 Temperatures Drop
(By Associated Press)

An intense storm which hammered the Pacific Coast, leaving highways snow-blocked and some areas iso- lated, moved into the northern Rockies today.
 The winter seasons most severe weather hit areas of Washington, Oregon, Northern California and Nevada yesterday. Snow, rain and hail fell over the storm belt. Winds reached a velocity of 55 miles an hour in some sections, snapping ice-laden power and telephone lines.
 The cold and strong winds which lashed the central states showed signs of abating today. But the mer- cury was far below zelo in many midwest points.
 The cold was expected to move into the eastern states, ending the extremely mild weather
 Southern Oregon and northern California were hardest hit hy the Pacific Coast storm. The main motor line between California and Oregon-Highway 99-was blocked by snow.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Copyright, 1850, by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON column re- gently exposed the manner Ill which Continent Petroleum had fixed a $6,0OO,000 income tax evasion case for only $3,O00,OOo' after Internal Revenue agents had recommended criminal prosecution
 Here is another fraud case, this one involving a labor union. The chief difference between the two cases is that the Truman Admin istration, despite it's greaS and avowed friendship for labor, has not yet let the union get away with it. Although the union tax fraud has been delayed for one year, it may still be prosecuted. The big oil company case. on the other hand, was quietly fixed on the inside and was never allowed to get to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.
 
 The labor case involves three or ganizers of the United Textile Workers tCIO) = Toby Mendes, Frank Bartholomew, and J. H. Turner, who are charged with en- couraging workers to falsify their tax returns at the Simmons Mat tress Company, Roanoke Rapids, N. O.
 The Simmons Company was in the middle of fight over whether the plant should or should not be organized by the United Textile Workers, and as one inducement to join the union. the three organ izers offered to show workers how to save money on their income taxes.
 They saved money all right, but

LEWIS ORDERS
 MINERS BAG K ON } DAY Wk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l-lR-- John L. Lewis today ordered 66.000 striking coal miners to go back to three-day work week Monday.
 These miners had quit their jobs in seven states-refusing to work even the three days weekly per- mitted by Lewis in his cold war with mine operators.
 Lewis sent the following message to presidents of the United Mine Workers Districts where miners had quit all work.
 will you please transmit to our members who are idle this week my suggestion that they resume production next Monday"
 Some 32.650 miners have been on full strike in Pennsylvania. 17.500 in West Virginia. 5000 in Alabama. 5000 in Kentucky, 4,000 in Ohio, 990 in Utah and 250 in Virginia.
 There were 16,oO0 on strike in Illinois last week. but they went
 
 back to work last Monday.
 Operators have taken the view that this checker-board strike pat tern is part of the harassing tactics Lewis is using in his battle for higher wages and welfare cenefits for the miners.
 They look on the three-day work week as a piece of the same. AS they see it, Lewis is trying to cause the operators all the difficulty ne can without bringing things to the point where the government would be impelled to intervene.
 Today's back-to-work order may have resulted from Lewis appre- hension about the growing clamor from coal operators and members of Congress that President Truman act under the Taft Hartley law t restore full coal production.
 MT. Truman has refused to con slider the three-day production week an emergency warranting his intervention.

mon season from October 31 to March 15, when the embargo was enforced.
 Alvin Anderson, director ot Washington fisheries, conferred with Anderson here via telephone yesterday, and made the decision to revoke the rule in force and allow Alaska salmon to enter the state, so long as they are boxed and iced in certain fashion, so Washington "bootleggers' won't te able to take advantage and sell ille- gal Washington-caught fish in the guiSe of Alaska salmon"
 The embargo went into effect because a few trollers in the south caught salmon on the sly, and when questioned, would say "oh, these came in from Alaska" That ended further questioning, so the embargo was slapped on, simply to protect Washington fisheries from being denuded by illegal trolling.
 But it is now felt that by boxing and icing, which "bootleggers' would not go to the trouble of doing, Alaska salmon might once again enter the market, Anderson said.
 Fishermen here get a freezing price" only-about. 25 cents whole sale if the market is right-whlch amounts to atout one-third of what the fresh fish would bring on the Seattle market. Iced fish last about three weeks, Anderson explained, which enables shipment south by boat easily, the trollers timing thelr catches and arrivals in port to catch a southbound ship.
 Local markets in Alaska aren't large enough to consume the aver age 5O,OO0 to 100000 pounds caught during the winter months, mainly out of Ketchikan, Wrangell ana Petersburg. The catch has gone as high as 5oO,0o0 pounds. This means the salmon must be frozen, and compete with last years catch.
 The embargo" has caused some salmon to be shipped to Oregon, and even to California during win ter months, Anderson said. Heavy runs begin after January l.
 Opening of the Seattle market once more will bring tetter prices up to a high of 75 cents a pound, which will enable fishermen to see the winter through in fair shape, he explained.
 Only closing in Alaska was last years September 20 to october 15, two weeks before the Washington closing.
 Alvin Anderson, present Wash ington director, succeeded Clarence Anderson in the job, the latter being director until he came north this spring to take over the Terri tory work, created by the legisla- ture during it's past session.

Accuses Jeff Wing Group
 In State, Dept. Defy- ing Congress- Wishes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l-lR,-- Senator Taft (R-Ohio) today ac- cused a left wing group" in the State Department of defying the wishes of Congress with regard to China and Formosa.
 The Senate Republican Policy leader, in a sharp speech, renewed his call for assistance to Formosa and ridiculed arguments that it would involve the United States in a war with Russia.
 Taft denied that he has ever suggested the occupation of For mosa, or sending the Army or Navy there.
 Our Navy is there, with bases within a short distance, and it's ships are between Formosa and China Taft told the Senate.
 "Formosa is a hundred miles from the mainland and there can be no crossing if our Navy makes it clear that ships carrying troops will not be allowed to cross,' he said.
 On the other side of the Capi- tol, Secretary of State Acheson was giving the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee review of Ameri- can Foreign Policy. He spent two hours at closed door session this morning going over European prob lems, saving the touchy Formosan policy until later in the day.
 As he shifted his defense of Far Eastern policy from one end of the Capitol to the other. leading Democrats on the House Commit tee were accusing Republicans of playing election year politics with foreign affairs.

Thorpe Visits 1912 Teommate,
Once Record-HoIder in Discus
By Burton Howkins

After a lapse of 81 years. Jim
Thorpe located. an old friend
yesterday-in Hitchcock Hall at
st. Elizabeths Hospital. There
he renewed acquaintance with
Jim Duncan, who established
two world discus records in
1912 and placed third in the
Olympics at Stockholm, where
Thorpe's stature as the greatest
athlete of all time was con-,
f1rmed.
Thorpe, who chatted pleas
antly with patients in a lengthy
visit. last had seen Duncan in
a New York bar in 1918, but
he recognized the 63-year-old,
gray-haired ex-champion i'm
mediately. while Duncan greet
ed Jim's arrival with a proud,
There he is," when the famous
Indian stepped through the
door.
I'VE used to pal around a
bit when we were on the Olym-
pic team together" explained
Thorpe, who won the pentath-
Ion and decathlon at Stock
holm and there heard King
Gustav v of Sweden say. you,
sir, are the greatest athlete in
the world"
Still a Track Enthusiast.
Duncan remains a track
enthusiast. He discussed track
with Thorpe and DR.. Bob Eller,
captain of Georgetown Univer-
sity's 1912 cinder squad, who
competed in meets with Dun
can and who currently is his
guardian.
Duncan set the world record
for the discus in 1912 with a
toss of 145 feet ga inches and
later that year broke that mark
by throwing the platter 1856
feet IA inches. He was operat-
ing from a 7-foot circle in those
days and it wasn't until long
after the circle was increased
to 8 feet, 21a inches in 1915
that discus records began to
soar.
It was Armas Taipale Of
Finland who defeated Duncan
in the 1912 Olympics and a
year later he eclipsed Duncan's
world record by 10 inches. That
mark stood the assault of
record seekers for s12 years,
even though discus throwers
had been granted more space
in which to generate power.
While serving the engineers
in Europe during World War I,
Duncan married a French
woman and remained in France
with the Graves Registration
service. He was placed in
charge Of the military cemetery
at Suresnes, and became the
father of three children.
It was in 1882, when Dun

sion increased, that he was re-
turned here for admittance to
