Next 7 Weeks Termed
Crucial for Future Of
Nationalist Hainan
BY the Associated Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, Feb. IA
Official military dispatches today
predicted the next two weeks will
be critical for the Nationalist-held
island of Hainan off the South
China coast.
Fog shrouded the big island to-
day. Nationalist officials pointed
out that the Japanese used this
foggy period of the year to cap
ture the island at the beginning
of the Sino-Japanese war.
The military report estimated
the Communists had 100000
troops ready to try to invade
Hainan. They are expected to
strike from a number of widely
scattered points on the nearby
mainland.
Groups Infiltrate Island.
Nationalists said that if the
Reds failed to invade Hainan in
the next two weeks they may be
begged down for months to come.
Military sources said small
groups of Reds infiltrated the is
land in the past month. They
joined. embattled Communist
guerrillas in Hainan's mountain
GUS center. These military sources
admitted further Red infiltration
might endanger Hainan from
within.
Nationalist warplanes and war
ships are patrolling Hainan waters
constantly. They have been belt
ing Communist invasion craft
wherever they found them.
The Defense Ministry said to-
day that Nationalists on Namoa
Island, off Swatow on the Central
China coast, had foiled an at
tempt by 100 Communists to en-
ter that air and sea base. The
attempt was made Friday.
Namoa served as supply base
for Nationalist guerrillas on the
mainland.
Reds Reinforce Island.
The ministry said Nationalist
guerrillas were active on Red-held
San Kuo Chao island in the Pearl
River. Two regiments of Com
munist troops were said to have
been sent there as reinforcements
against the guerrillas.
Intelligence reports were quoted
as saying Shanghai residents
scrambled for leaflets dropped by

leaflets denounced Communist
Leader Mao Tze-tung as traitor.

that many miners in the coal field
will return to work If they get
direct orders from Mr.. Lewis to do
so. He pointed out Mr.. Lewis re-
sponse to Judge Keech's orders

union officers not to permit the
strike to continue. Us.
John D. Battle, executive vice
president of the National Coal AS
sociation, said operators had re-
ceived number of reports from
various sections that MIR. Lewis
back-to-worse message never has
been delivered to individual union
locals.
Lag in Message Charged.
"The message wasn't sent down
to the grass roots" Mr.. Battle
said. Lewis merely sent his mes
sage to his district presidents.
Previously, we understand, he has
sent strike-end orders to all the
thousands of union locals.
But this time he sent his mes
sage only to the relatively few
district offices. They haven't re-
layed 1t to the locals, evidently.
So there's a lag in getting the
word to the coal miners"
But William Blizzard, president
Of UNIV District II, declared all
locals had been notified.
Mr.. Blizzard said idle miners
remained away from the pits ION
their own initiative and after get
ting the orders" He offered no
explanation other than that men
are "Sore."
Other operators said union Of
ficers in the coal f1elds-outside
Judge Keech's jurisdiction here
are secretly encouraging the 400,-
600 idle miners to stay on strike.
But there was no confirmation of
this.
Some Federal officials were
hopeful the situation would be i'm
proved if some progress can be
made in the contract negotiations.
Mr.. Lewis and the operators
will be making another try at
writing a contract to replace the
pact that expired June 80.

structions to revive collective bar

the operators to start new talks.

Love Sends Telegram. 81.
George H. Love. spokesman for
the National Bituminous Coal
Operators negotiating committee,
sent Mr.. Lewis this telegram:
For the purpose Of resolving
present disputes and to adjust and
settle all difference incident to
the negotiations of a new national
bituminous coal wage agreement,
we will meet you at the Statler
Hotel, Washington, D. c., at II
o'clock am. Wednesday, February
Is, 1950."
A spokesman for Mr.. Love said
the new contract talks will be
conducted in a different atmos-
phere" since Federal Court has
forbidden Mr.. Lewis to use four
key demands.
The negotiations will resume
amid field reports that the UNIV
chief may substitute some new de-
mands for those ruled out by
Judge Keech.
The court said Mr.. Lewis could
not:
l. Seek a clause allowing miners
to work only when willing and
able"
2. Demand union shop with
out a National Labor Relations
Board election. +
8. Try to limit welfare fund
benefits to union members.
4. Call memorial" work stop
pages.
New Pay Demand Seen.
Some industry sources think
Mr.. Lewis now may raise his wage
demands another so cents to make
the objective $3.50 a day. They
would not be surprised If he
asked 40 cents a ton in operator
royalty payments into the UNIV
welfare fund.
Mr.. Lewis previously asked for
a wage increase of IS cents a day
for miners earning a basic daily
wage Of $14.05. He also demand
ed that royalty payments be in
creased from 20 to 35 cents.
About 10000 UNIV soft coal
miners are working under con-
tracts signed with a small group
