PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2l-lR-Chill blasts of an overdue winter accented the coal shortage in many parts of a shivering nation today while re- beliing soft coal miners kept right on striking.
 The 372.000 idle United Mine Workers shrugged off the new gov ernment contempt action as just another order" They insisted.
 No contract, no work"
 Effects of eight months of off and-on coal production that erupted into a full scale walkout five weeks ago struck new blows at all branches of American life.
 Education-St. Louis schools will close today and won't reopen until next Monday because they have only three-day coal supply On hand Schools in other communities also are closed

UASHINGTON-Around the gi- ant Pentagon Building, just across the Potomac, winds. labyrinth of beautiful boulevards built during the war at considerable cost to American taxpayers.
 The other day in Richmond, Va the two builders of these boule- wards, Mckenzie Davison and w. J. Doc" Hardy, walked into court and pleaded mo contest" to four of six counts accusing them of. de- frauding the government of SPIT ,806 in taxes-ithe same government which paid them handsomely on war contracts.
 Behind this virtual plea of guilty lies a long story, dating back to October 1948, in which this column exposed Hardy and Dawson, not only for income-tax evasion, but for political wirepulling, conceal ment, and dodging. When this col umn published the story on Oct. 19, 1948, it was so sensational that some papers refused to print it.
 The two road contractors had made out false invoices, written checks to other contractors, who then cashed the checks themselves, and generally falsified. Yet for eight months after this columns expose, they argued, pleaded, and haggled with patient Justice De- partment attorneys.
 Finally, last July the case was

Government Ends Cross Ey-
 animation Of LOngshore
 Leader, Perjury Case ~

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2l R--- The Government ended it's cross examination of Harry Bridges to- day. after a week of intense effort to bring out that his political and union background tended to follow the Communist Party line.
 Through it all, Bridges repeated insistently that he was not and never had been a Communist.
 He was indicted for perjury charged with swearing falsely in his 1945 citizenship hearing that he wasn't a Communist
 The CIO longshore leader called Dave Beck of Seattle "a gangster' in an outturst during yesterday E proceedings.
 Bridges and Beck, who rose from the leadership of the AFL teamsters Union in Seattle to the executive vice president of the international have been long time foes.
 bllQBCo Clilllly ltt A1NSi@ NeN' AA' tensified receifly when a ware housemen's section of Bridges un- ion split away and joined the teamsters.
 The attack against Beck was touched off by Donohue's question: ing about Bridges attitude toward opposition in his own union.
 T think it's healthy thing, Bridges replied, "as long as they keep their punches above tine belt Then he added: And as long as they don't play around behind the scenes with Boyd and Barber anc with peorle like Dave Beck"
 John Boyd is with the Immigra- tion Service in Seattle and Bruc Barber heads the office here Inn migration officers have been key figures in preparing eases against Bridges.

5WEETBRIAR FIGHT B0GS: AGGRES50Rj
 WALL0p YANKEES

YUKON-Alaska Border, Feb 2l -lR-A position reminiscent of bit ter world war II fighting in Italy begged Exercise Sweetbriar smack on the Yukon-Alaska boundary for hours yesterday.
 Retreating aggressor forces estab- lished themselves on hill over looking broad sweep of snow and tree-covered country and wal loped American infantrymen who walked straight into the trap in the early morning hours.
 The Americans were withdrawn and the Exercise halted for hours while the umpires figured out what to do. The consequence was an early darkness attack by two com panies of the Princess Patricia S Canadian light infantry.
 The assault carried the Canadians across the Alaska border into the rolling, rugged country with trad ing posts and lodges scattered spar sely along the route to Northway 52 miles away and the scene of the maneuver's climax Thursday. The joint Canadian-American' counter attacking units found the hill the sort of a position that cost many Canadian lives in Italy Ill the second world war-a dominat- ing piece of ground where the de- fender could sit back and let the attacker come to him.

 INDIFFERENT
RebeIIious Spirit Display ed in Coal Fields Re-
 gdrding Situation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-tR- The entire treasury of the striking coal miners, variously figured at s13,0O0,- coo to $20,000,000, was endangered today by their defiance of court order once again to end a coal strike.
 Reports from the. coal fields showed a spirit of rebellious indif- ference to the situation.
 The United Mine Workers-bul not President John L. Lewis per sonally-was cited for contempt o1 court here yesterday by Judge Richmond B. Keech, who had issu- ed the back work order.
 The union was given until Friday to clear itself of contempt by get ting the 372,c00 idle miners back to work. Union lawyers were told to explain Friday, if the men are still cut.
 That didn't seem to bother the miners. They expressed such com ments in the Pennsylvania fields as nobody is going to pay any at- tention to contempt citation Another: Let them fine us until cur money is gone"
 Disorders
 Mine disorders were reported, es- pecially in eastern Kentucky
 If the Union doesn't comply with the back to work order by Friday to the satisfaction of the court it will mean hearing next Mon- day before Judge Keech. The UNIV could be fined any amount the Judge deems proper. If still out next Monday the strikers will have been in defiance of the court order for two weeks. The order was re- newed yesterday until March 3.
 The Union paid S2,130,000 in two fines for similar scrapes with the courts in 1946 and 1948.
 Judge Keech could wipe out the UMW's rich holdings, built from al- most nothing since 1883. These as- sets consist of huge bank accounts four valuable Washington office buildings only a couple of blocks from the White House, bonds and bank stocks.
 Lewis was held responsible along with the union both previous tim es. He has met the court orders this time. Two communiques from Lewis failed to get the miners back on the job. They insisted on lift ing again their traditional war cry: NO contract, no work" They have been without contract since the old one expired last June 30.

spy RING IN
 STATE DEPT.
 IS CLAIMED
Republican Senator Me- Carthy Makes Charges of
 Big Three Operations

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-tR-A Republican Senator's charges that two men and a woman make up a "big three' directing a spy ring in the State Department headed to- day for an investigation by the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee.
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, the De- mocratis leader, told reporters he will propose that the Committee look into accusations made by Sen ator Mccarthy (R-Wis) that 81 Communists either have or now work for the Department.
 Mccarthy, who described these individuals from supposedly secret files in five-hour Senate speech last night, said he would give their names to such a committee. He didn't give any in his speech.
 In a running word battle with Lucas, the Wisconsin Senator re- fused in his Senate speech to tell who he suspects of being members of what he described as "an es- rionage ring in the State Depart ment."
 AS an off-shoot, Mccarthy said at one point that a member of a Communist front organization who failed to get security clearance in the State Department had turned up as a White House speech writer.
 Without naming the individual, he said he has a relative with a financial interest in the Daily Worker, Communist paper.

 Murray said the report of Al Chisholm, former Royal Canadian Air Force pilot, on January 29 was the one in which the Navy was con cerned.
 Chisholm said the submarine. definitely a German type" sur faced while he was flying directly overhead at about 800 feet.
 Chisholm's wartime experience as an anti-submarine patrol flier merited credence of his report. Mur- ray said.

Pink Salmon Study Is 10 Be
 Concentrated
Ten Biologists, Three Times Usual Research Money
 for Pinks in Southeast

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-tR-Tht Interior Department has focused its Alaskan fishery research program for next summer upon the S44 ,000 00( year pink salmon industry.
 Interior Secretary Chapman saic today that research funds, whict have been divided three ways-or the Alaska herring, the red salmon of Bristol Bay and the Karluk river area, and the pink salmon of South eastern Alaska-will be concentrated this year on the latter.
 He said this is being done on the recommendation of Albert M. Day director of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 '.The pink salmon fishery re- gently has received only $39 900 a year for research, permitting the employment of only one full-time biologist and a staff of temporary assistants" Day said.
 By concentrating its efforts, the service now plans to invest three times as much money and place 10 professional biologists in the pink salmon research program.
 Broad Research Program
 A spokesman for the service ex- plained that the broad research pro- gram of the past has resulted in "shoestring investigations that have not been too successful"
 Day said that after pink salmon research has been sufficiently ad- vanced i've will take up another species, using the same concentra- ton technique"
 Meanwhile, he said, the routine observations of red salmon escape ments in Bristol Bay and on the Karluk river of Kodiak Island will be continued, as will routine samp- ling of the herring catch.
 "The routine samplings will pro- vide all the necessary information for the planning of fishing regula- tions, and will provide the continu- ing records necessary when these fisheries become the object of fu- ture study and research" Day said
 The service plans two new field operations in the pink salmon in- dustry-a large-scale tagging pro- gram in the ocean fishery. and a program of marking salmon, by clipping their fins, as they come down the streams.
 Research will be conducted along two additional streams-Humpback creek, on Icy Strait, and Harris river on Clarence Strait.
