DR.. Murray, who clearly sensed

said he would not consider such
behavior significant. Later, he

these factors should be taken into

For Coal Action
Trumon Again Denies
Emergency; Critical
Shortage in 36 Cities
By james Y. Newton

Inc United states Chamber of
Commerce today joined the chorus
for Government action in the soft
coal dispute. reporting it had
found a critical shortage of fuel
in 36 cities. The chamber de-
clared that only "the unseason-
ably warm weather" had averted
widespread suffering and hard
ship"
The business organization re-
port followed closely President
Truman's latest denial that John
L. Lewis three-day work week at
the mines has created coal
emergency. Mr.. Truman told his
news conference yesterday that he
has no immediate plans to restore
full coal production by using the

Lewis and the United Mine
Workers.
Parts of the 10 principal BIZ

surveyed by the United States
Chamber. The report said this
situation was found as to supply
of fuel coal:
With an average of less than
seven days supply in dealers
hands in SO average size towns
surveyed, telegraphed advices
from chambers of commerce in
these cities reveal that widespread
suffering and hardship has been
averted SO far primarily because
of the unseasonably mild
weather"
Hardship Declared Near.
The report added that in some
places actual hardship because of
fuel shortage is only a matter
Of hours away"
Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Ben
Moreell. president Of the Jones g.
Laughlin Steel Corp. suggested
that the month coal con-
tract dispute between Mr.. Lewis
and the mine operators could be
settled on the lines of the agree
ment which ended last falls big

u. g. L. wants its miners to re-
ceive the same dependable pen
sions, insurance and social bene-
fits as all of our other employees
and it is willing to extend to the
miners the same plan for these
benefits as it now has in effect for
all of our other wage earners, !"
Mr.. Moreell said.
The steel strike was. settled
through use of a fact finding
board, appointed by President
Truman, which recommended
that the steel workers receive
monthly pensions of $100, plus
social insurance. Jones 81 Laugh
lin employs also about 5000 coal
miners in Western PENNSYLVANIA.

sunken submarine Truculent.
BY the Associated Press
CHATHAM, England, Jan. 49,
Fifty-two men were feared dead
aboard the rammed and Sunken
submarine Truculent today.
Divers and frogmen tapped out
messages on the hull of the sunken
undersea raider, but up to. this
afternoon apparently had received
no response.
Vice Admiral G. B. Middleton
of the Chatham navy yard posted
a notice saying great loss of life
is feared.
Word from rescue craft at the
scene indicated hope was fading
swiftly for the men still believed
to be aboard the submarine which
went to the bottom of the Thames
estuary last night after she was
rammed by the iron clad prov of
the 643- ton Swedish tanker, Di-
vina.
I'VE have practically given up
hope" an Admiralty spokesman
said after divers came up and re-
ported they found no sign of life.
Dusk was beginning to close in on
the rescud operations.
Q Dead * Rescued
Nine are known dead. Three of
these were picked up last night
after the collision and six more
bodies were found today. Fifteen
men were rescued.
The Admiralty ordered the ar
rest of the Swedish tanker as a
prelude to a court of inquiry into
the disaster.
An Admiralty marshal went to
Sheerness to post a warrant for
the arrest of the tanker, which
puts the ship under the marshal's
control until it is released by the
Admiralty.
One of the rescued was 1t. C.
P. Bowers, bearded young COM
mander of the sub. He was picked
up with four others by the Dutch
steamer Almdijk.
"She had no chance" 1t.
Bowers told the Dutch skipper,
Capt. Jan Decker. "She went down
like stone. She went down al
most before we realized what had
happened"
Killed Aboard Plane.
In addition, all five men aboard
Lancaster rescue plane were
killed early today in takeoff
crash at Royal Air Force station
in Scotland. The plane was to
have picked up divers for the
Chatham operation.
The submarine lay in silt about
AZ feet below the surface at low
tide. The ebbing tide had aided
the divers in reaching the craft.
which had gone down in water 81
feet deep.

ment said: With great regret I

ments flooded.

U.S.Speeds Campaign
To Build Up Europe
AGAINST Soviet Attack
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 2.-America lead
ers have no hope of defending
Western Europe from a Russian
attack if it comes tomorrow.
But in "X' months-there's a
top secret label on the value of
*" they believe Britain and
France can be so strengthened
morally and militarily that they
could lead a successful stand.
Authoritative sources here who
describe that situation say the
number of months "X' represents
can be shortened if many Euro
peans are won away from the cur
rently popular attitude of what's
the uSe?"
That's the view being forcefully
argued to the Europeans at North
Atlantic pact meetings in London
and in conferences with officials
throughout Western Europe. The
Americans make no effort to hide
it. though they fight shy of putting
their names to 1t publicly.
The Communist attack in Korea
and it's success have put the razor
edge on American awarenesS of
how helpless Europe would be in
the face of a full Russian assault.
Before, this was understood in a
dull and distant way, if at'all.
This is the way they now paint
the picture:
The Russians, according to
British Defense Minister Emanuel
Shinwell, could put ITS army di-
visions into the field tomorrow,
Western Europe probably could
not scrape together IS. While it
might not necessarily take ITS
divisions to stop IT'S. 1t would
take a lot more than Is.
American rearmament of the
Atlantic world is going ahead on
the assumption that World War
III can be avoided. Top Ameri-
can policy makers are said to
believe there is less danger now
of a major conflict than there
was two months ago.

every major agricultural area. A
brief resume of some of the more
important lines of work at each To-

Central Montana Branch Station:
This station was established near
Moccasin in 1908. Research there in
cludes tillage studies; small grain
varietal improvement, particularly
with winter wheat; and crested
wheatgrass pastures for beef cattle.
HuntleY Branch Station: Estab-
hshed in 1912. Research work at
Huntley is chiefly concerned with
sugar beet culture, irrigated crop
rotations, soil fertility problems, soil
moisture determinations, corn breed
ing and dairying. This station devel-
oped the well-known Huntley pas
ture mixture.
North Montana Branch Station:
Located on the site of old Fort
Assinniboinn near Havre. Work was
begun in 1915. Fallow and stubble
mulch investigations: wheat, barley
and oats improvement; forage stud
les, involving Ladak alfalfa, estab-
lishment of grasses under dry land
conditions; beef cattle breeding,
feeding and herd management, test
ing feeder steer progeny from in
dexed bulls, have comprised the
more important lines of research.
USDA Range Livestock Expert
ment Station: Situated at Miles City.
Investigations cooperative with the
state of Montana were begun in
1925 Principle activities deal large
ly with modern methods of beef
cattle and swine improvement, and
range management studies.
Eastern Montana Branch Station:
This unit was established near Sid
ney in 1947. A well rounded pro-
gram of crops and pasture research
under irrigation is being developed.
Dry land tillage trials are also con-
templated.
Northwestern Montana Branch
Stations: Located at Creston Investi-
cations were begun in 1947, horticul-

search comprising the major lines of
endeavor Off-station work with

Some very low readings be expected,

This is normally about the coolest part of the

Snowfall is not expected to be heavy from any
