PARCEL SERVICE

For several months the ST.
Croix Chamber of Commerce
has been investigating the de-
lay in parcel post shipments

al Postal Service to attempt to
improve this service and yes

Information that the service
would be improved to the ex-
tent to weekly parcel post to
st. Croix from New York.
It appears that about six
months ago the Postal Depart

eel post destined for st. Croix
should be held for those ships
sailing direct to st. Croix, thus
if a particular ship was missed
in New York, the mail or par
eel post would be held from

Alfion at Once, He Says Proposes Three Points-
 Assumes They'll Work

. WASHINGTON, March 3-lR- President Truman today asked Con- gress for power to seize the nations strike-bound coal mines.
 The President said in special message:
 Within a few days we shall be virtually out of soft coal. The danger to the national health and safety is real and immediate. It requires action at once"
 He said that if coal production Is not resumed at once there will be human suffering and disastrous economic dislocation."
 MT, Truman proposed:
 1.-An impartial board to make recommendation concerning fair and just compensation for the use of the property of the mine owners"
 2.-Another impartial board to determine how much the govern ment should pay the miners while they work for the government.
 Establishment of a commis- sion of inquiry, including govern ment, congressional and pubic members ito make a thorough study of the coal industry in terms of economic, social and national se- curity ohjectives."
 The miners have now been on full strike since Feb. 6 and since Feb. Il have defied Federal Courts order for a return to work
 MT. Truman's proposed program was based on the assumption that they would return to work if the government took over the pits
 At the same time he asked the power of seizure, the President saic he hoped he would not have to use it.

 SAAR PACT
 MADE NOW
France to Control Mines for Next Half Century,.
 Autonomy
(By the Associated Press)


 France today announced a new treaty with the coal-rich Saar under which France is to retain control of the mines for the next half-century.
 The Saar was given broader autonomy under the title of Re public" but France, which detached the border area from Germany after the last war, retains control of the Saar's foreign relations and mili- tary security.
 The new treaty is not final. The Western Allies have agreed to settle the Saars future at the peace con- ference with Germany France has the strongest hold on the rich val ley now. But Germany is going to demand the Saar be returned to her
 Surveying another French prob lem, experts in Paris said Frances national morale is as low as any time since the end of the war. The nation that so long prided itself on its military prowess feels impotent and ashamed of it's weakness.
 American arms will be arriving in great quantities in French ports soon. The Communists have threat ened to prevent these sorely needed supplies from being landed When the Communists move to carry out their threats there will be riots many persons predict.
