in the northern fields. In South

Other States Unaffected.
In Utah, Illinois. and Indiana,

Truman Won't Act Yet.
Congressional leaders quoted
President Truman today as saying
he still lacks sufficient evidence to
declare a national emergency in
the coal situation.
Mr.. Truman discussed the Sit
uation at his weekly conference
with Democratic Congressional
leaders.
After the White House confer
ence, Senate Majority Leader
Lucas told reporters:
THE President told us he
wouldn't hesitate to act when he
thinks the situation justifles it.
There is no question that he would
use every legal means at his COM

last night in an automobile on
a parking lot next to the George

Police said they were question

Coroner John Sims said there was

clinical tests would be made to

draw from the Chinese mainland,
Secretary Acheson's Republican
critics in Congress are raising de-
mands for action ranging all the
way from an explanation to a
resignation.
The resignation demand came
from Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican of California, who branded
the new American retreat from
China as evidence of bankrupt
China policy" Senator Knowland
said the Assistant Secretary of
State for the Far East, w. Walton
Butterworth. should get out and
that if Mr.. Acheson approved the
present Far Eastern policy, he also
should quit.
In addition, there were some
signs that senatorial criticism is
not the end of Mr.. Acheson's trou-
bles even on this specific issue.
His perhaps greater problem
since he also has a senatorial sup
ports the actual removal of the
1875 American diplomats and their
families from Red China.
Reds Can Create Many Delays.
The Chinese Communists have
many devices for delaying or halt
ing the withdrawal of foreigners
from their land. They have not
hesitated to use these devices in
the past.
The means they have employed
include espionage charges, arrests
for unexplained reasons and va
rious claims for debt settlement
prior to the granting of exit per-
mits.
In issuing its recall order Sat-
urday, the State Department had
no assurance that when the dip
lomats actually seek permission to
leave it will be given promptly in
all cases.
Ward Staff Held 6 Months.
In the case of Angus Ward, the
whole consulate staff at Mukden
was held In that city for six months
after being ordered out by the State
Department. And final permis-
sion to leave was not given until
after Mr.. Ward was jailed for a
month and convicted" of beat
ing a Chinese employe. Before
they left, all American officials at
Mukden were branded as spies by
a Communist court.
The new break came Saturday
when the State Department an
nounced that the Communists at
Peiping had seized the property
housing the American Consulate
office, and that all American off,
cials remaining in China had been
ordered home
The department said today that

will oppose any substantial in
crease in taxes, but may go along
if the administration merely seeks
to close some loop-holes in existing
laws.
AS Congress awaited the sep
arate tax message from Mr.. Tru-
man, evidence continued to pile up
that many lawmakers feel budget
cutting would be less painful than
voting for higher taxes to over
come the deficit of at least S.
900, 100000 as the budget now
stands.
The White House said today the
message may be delayed for a
few days. Presidential Secretary
Charles c. Ross told reporters it
likely would not be ready until
toward the end of the week"
Skirmish Due Tomorrow.
A preliminary skirmish over
taxes will occur in the Senate
tomorrow. That body has agreed
to vote tomorrow afternoon on a
proposal to repeal a variety Of
war time excise levies by attach
ing a general rider to the pending
bill repeating oleomargarine taxes.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
predicted the administration has
the votes to beat this general ex-
else tax rider on the oleo bill.
even though the Senate may ap-,
prove such changes later.
The administration wants the
excise tax changes to start in the
regular way in the House Ways
and Means Committee.
Oleo Tax Foes Claim Edge.
Meanwhile, Senators trying to
abolish the special taxes on oleo-
margarine are claiming a margin
of from five to eight votes in
their favor. They first must beat
Ia substitute sponsored by dairy
State Senators, which would re-
peal the oleo taxes, but then pro-
hibit interstate shipment of coll
ored margarine. A close vote is
expected on the substitute tomor-
row.
Senator George said he thinks
the budget could be balanced
without serious injury to any es-
sential Government services or
without welshing on our commit
ments abroad"
Chairman Cannon of the HOUSE
Appropriations Committee is going
ahead with his plans to try out a
consolidated appropriation bill
covering all Government depart
ments this year, in the hope IL
will lead to economies. but there
is an undercurrent of opposition
among House members.
Rayburn Still Non -committal.
Latest critic to speak out
against the plan is Representative
Ellsworth, Republican, of Oregon,
who predicted neither the House
nor the public will have much
chance to find out what is in so
huge a bill. Heretofore the Fed
eral budget has been broken down
into a dozen money bills.
Speaker Rayburn has remained
-committal on the consolidat-
ed money bill plan, but it is still
not clear whether an open revolt
against the experiment will de-
velop.

Judge Holtzoff told Assistan
United States Attorneys William

would support the witnesses il
their constitutional right not t,
answer questions they believ,
might incriminate them, unles
their position was frivolous" o.
he was convinced the answer!
would not be incriminating.
8 Arrested in Raids.
All three witnesses declined tx
state whether or not they were
acquainted with Lewis and hi
co-defendants, Attilio Acalotti anc
Frank Belleci, who were among
36 men arrested in a series of raids
last March. The three are being
tried on gambling charges result
ing from the raids.
OF, proprietor of the Statewide
Sporting News Distributor Co..
also was arrested in the raids. He
is scheduled to go on trial next
week.
Your honor, must decline to
answer on the grounds it might
tend to incriminate me-" he said
in reply to questions asked by Mr.
Carey.
@ Tamm Reversed Ruling.
When Mr.. Carey asked that the
witness be compelled to answer
Judge Holtzoff refused ION the
grounds that it is conceivable his
answers might tend to incrimi-
nate him.
'"The only time this court will
overrule a witness who stands on
his constitutional rights is when
his position is frivolous or when
his answers could not possibly in
criminate him"
Last week Judge Edward A.
Tamm reversed an earlier ruling
and granted defense motion
to suppress evidence against OFF
and four co-defendants on the
grounds that the Government had
used faulty search warrant when
it raided the headquarters of the
