Green Expects Miners
To Disobey Injunction,
Hold Out for Contract
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. g.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor
says coal miners probably will dis
obey any court Injunction issued
under the Taft Hartley Act to end
the mine strike.
Mr.. Green, one-tirne aide of
John L. Lewis in the United Mine
Workers, told reporters:
I'm the event no settlement is
reached in the mining controversy
and an injunction is issued,
doubt very much that the court
action will result in resumption of
mining activity.
Fine Against Lewis Noted.
Il don't want to enlarge on that.
But knowing the miners as do, I
feel justified in saying it,
Mr.. Green noted that Mr.. Lewis
paid $l,4l0,000 in fines last year
for disobeying a similar Taft
4AAA WY iAIJ AllSGlOll.
Mr.. Green's comment yesterday
came in connection with a new
blast by the AFL's Executive
Council at the labor law. The
council said the law has been a
failure and the AFL will exert
every effort politically in the fall
elections to elect Congress
pledged to repeal it.
The AFL's council statement
made clear that labor is going to
try to make the Taft Hartley Act
a major campaign issue again this
year.
Appeal to Voters Planned.
Conceding there seems to be
little chance to get the law re-
pealed by the present Congress,
the council said:
I'VE will appeal to the Ameri-
can voters for a mandate so clear
and so unmistakable that the next
Congress will feel obliged to carry
out the expressed will of the
people.

to have this country work for
elimination of the Security Coun-
Gil veto in the settlement Of dis
putes and the admission of new
members.
Justice Roberts told the SUBJ
committee:
"A federal union of Atlantic
democracies, with a common for
eign policy, common currency.
a common defense force, with free
movement of people and goods, is
the surest, cheapest, strongest way
to stop war, stop communism,
create prosperity, extend free
DOM"
Plan Would Need Ratification.
He also pointed out that any
plan emerging from such a con-
ference would have to be referred
back to the cooperating nations
for ratification or change.
Senator Kefauver, one of the
sponsors of the resolution, also
pointed to atomic weapons as an
urgent reason for beginning now
to look into the possibility of O
union of democracies. He said:
by 1852, or perhaps even be-
fore, it must be expected that
Russia will have enough atomic
bombs to destroy many of the
great cities of Western Europe.
If she has by then added the
hydrogen bomb to her armory,
the prospect for Europeans and
us will be yet more awesome. It
is only wise craftsmanship to
weigh the possibility that this de-
velopment may undermine the
defense value of the North At
lantic Treaty."

Nearby Residential Phone Rate
Topping Costs Here Explained

Telephone Co. of Virginia is ask
ing for an increase to $6 a month
for extended area service, un-
limited use, which now costs $5.25.
Even if all requests are granted
District subscribers appear likely
to have bit the best of it in
the final reckoning.
This is also true in connection
with minimum rates for house
holders. In Maryland they are
$3.50 for a two-party line, under
the newly granted emergency
rates. .
In the District, the present
minimum rate of $2.25 would be
boosted to So a month, if the
company's wishes were granted.
In Virginia, this comparable rate
is $2.75 and the commission is
being requested to grant $3.50,

is not the way to preserve peace "
He said the only hope for avoiding
atomic warfare lies in perfectlng
the machinery by which the peo-
pie of the world are governed.
Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin asked the atomic scient-
list if he had given up hope
of finding defense mechanisms
against the H-bomb.
DR.. Urey left no doubt he is
skeptical.
Il hope it is so large it cannot
be delivered" DR.. Urey testified
|"As long as an H-bomb has never
been exploded there is still hope
it won't work"
When he hears people say de-
fense measures can be devised. Dr..
Urey said his reaction is, "I don't
quite believe it, but I hope they are
right"
At the opening of the session
former Supreme Court Justice
Owen J. Roberts urged that Con-
gress explore the possibility of
Federal Union as the surest road
to peace.
UNLESS we begin now to make
exploration possible, the hydro
gen bomb may have wiped out
time" the jurist said in a pre-
pared statement.
Resolution Offered.
AS the hearings got under way

Residential telephone service in
nearby Maryland and Virginia
costs more than the District is
paying for a number of economic
reasons.
That's the substance of tele-
phone officials answer to ques-
ton perplexing subscribers just
over the District line.
1t all revolves around the fact
that three different companies are
involved, and each must stand
on its own financial feet under
dissimilar conditions.
1t appears that subscribers of
the Maryland and Virginia COM
panies will continue to pay more
for some time to come, because
of these factors:
Different tax rates, wage levels
and property values; revenue re-
quirements, numbers of telephones
in the local service area, commu-
nifty growth and the physical con-
ditlon OF the property.
Emergency Rate" Set.
Right now the Maryland rate
for unlimited residential service
is Sc month, compared with
$4.75 for a like service in the Dis
trict. But officials pointed out
that the Maryland figure has an
emergency rate" allowed by the
Maryland Public Service Commits
sion, pending decision on a rate
increase request.
Rate increase decisions also are
pending before the District and
Virginia regulatory bodies. In the
District the company has asked
for an increase to $3.50 for unlim-
tied residential service.

1t is fine quality of the Amer
lean people, Mr.. Acheson said, to
examine and criticize ourselves
continually, asking ourselves if we
are following the right course.
That quality comes only from
freedom. he declared, adding that
the world will be much nearer
peace when such self criticism is
possible in the Soviet Union. r

Mr.. Acheson emphasized that

sary to build situations where
agreement with Russia would be

In response to questions he said

proach that could be made
toward solving the problem of in
ternational control of atomic en-
ergy aside from the plan that has
been agreed upon by majority
of the United Nations, but re-
jected by Russia.
He told another questioner that
he was not ruling out the possi-
bility of negotiating with the Rus

have been negotiating on the
atomic control problem steadily

ment is it's purposefulness, it's de-
termination to achieve its ide-
illogical and imperialistic aims.
These Soviet objectives, he added,
are quite incompatible" with a
world system based on peace and
national independence and free
dom.
He pointed out, however, that
the Soviet government is highly
realistic" Experience has shown,
he said, that Moscow can adjust
to facts. Agreements with the
Soviet are useful when they reg
lister facts or a situation that
exist. he added. but are not of
much use otherwise.
To back up this reasoning. Mr..
Acheson cited the experience in
Berlin and in Greece.
Another Picture in China.
He said Western rights in Ber-
lin were covered by all sorts Of
agreements, but when it suited
Soviet purposes to use force to
interfere with those rights, the
Russians did not hesitate. On the
other hand, when the airlift and
Western counter measures made
the Russian blockade of Berlin
no longer in the interests of the
Soviet, it was stopped.
In Greece, he went on, United
Nations and other agreements did
not prevent the Soviets and their
satellites from fomenting rebel
lion. Only after the most Wig
orous action" by the United States
and the Greek people put down
the rebellion was that situation
solved, he pointed out.
Mr.. Acheson cited China for the
|other side of the picture. There,
he said, our best efforts produced
not strength but weakness. The
Communists capitalized on that
weakness. So, Mr.. Acheson argued
American policy must be to build
strength wherever possible so as
to extend the area of possible
agreement with Russia.
H-bomb Doesn't Change Facts.
He cited the European recovery
program, the North Atlantic Pact
and its related military assistance
program, the Point program and
the occupation policies in Ger
many and Japan as examples of
efforts to build strength so as to
create situation that could re-
suit in useful agreement with the
Soviet.
He said that one cannot argue
with a river, but can dam it up.
Emphasizing that the road to-
ward the peace goals reflected in
the Mcmahon and Tydings
speeches is a long and difficult
one. Mr.. Acheson said that many
people are naturally troubled by
the possibility of development of
terrible new weapon. He did
not mention the hydrogen bomb
specifically.
The existence of this possibility,
he asserted, does not change the
facts regarding the Russians.
1t means, he emphasized, that
Americans, must be even calmer
and steadier than ever because the

Ward Davenny. pianist, was
presented at the Phillips Gal
lery yesterday. 1t was some
thing of a revelation to hear him
execute standard numbers, such
as Bach's ''Toccata and Fugue in
c Minor; Mozart's "Rondo in F
Major, K494" and Beethoven's S
Sonata in E-f1at Major, op. 81a"
and to find that he had discov-
cred something in them others
had overlooked. To sum up his art:
Mr.. Davenny is virtuoso to whom
technique is means to an end. He
is painter, poet, stylist and
bard.
Under his nimble fingers Bar
tok's Suite, op. II" acquired a
communicative. chatty character.
He compelled the composer to talk
through the piano and made his
music entertaining. One could
truly appreciate It's originality, va
riety and humor and even love it's
dissonances. This is more than
Bartok himself ever succeeded in
doing during his several appear
anceS here.
Guided by a refined artistic
sense for light and shade, the
pianist gave a fascinating per-
formance of Bach's "Toccata and
Fugue.' His Bach appealed to the
imagination: it sparkled, it was
eloquent, facile. Not that the de-
livery was entirely free from minor

OF his art. They have physiog-
