JUDGE ISSUES
 "N0 STRIKE
 COAL ORDER
Miners Hear Lewis Order Work, Walk Away
 Brownouf of N. Y.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - R - Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech today issued a new no-strike order against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers. It runs until March B.
 Beech has had a stop strike" order out since Feb. II. but the 372 ,000 miners have ignored it. Lewis himself has observed 1t to the extent of twice sending instruc- tions to the miners that they should go back to work.
 The miners refusal to obey the order has the government casting about for possible new actions to get coal mined. One move that is a pos sibility is contempt action against the United Mine Workers. That could result in big fines on the union
 There has also been talk in Con- gress of legislation to let the gov ernment seize the mines. But Demo- cratic leaders are not taking to that idea.
 House Speaker Rayburn D-Tex) said after a conference of legisia- tive leaders with President Truman today that the President has no plans to ask such authority MT Truman said he does not want it.
 Senate Democratic Leader Lucas GID said he had not heard any talk of seizure legislation by the ad- ministration
 Rayburn said there was only gen. eral discussion of the coal situation at the White House conference. He said MT. Truman told them he was expecting some kind of report later today on the situation. Pre- sumably, this is a report from his fact-finding board and mediation officials keeping in touch with de- velopments.

RESCUED BOMBER VICTIMS BACK TO
 AID NEW SEARCH
Three Survivors Join Hunt for Five Still Missing
 on B. (. Island

VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 2O-- R-Three men who jumped blindly from a blazing, ice-coated B-36 bomber last Monday and were later rescued, were back today to aid in the search for five of their com rades.
 The missing airmen are believed somewhere on 50-mile long Prin- cess Royal Island, a hrushy, snow covered stretch of land along the northern British Columbia coast A full-scale ground search, abet- ted by clearing weather, failed to uncover any signs of the men yeS- terday.
 Twelve of the IT men who para chuted from the burning plane have been rescued. None suffered serious injury.
 The three survivors who returned here last night from Fort Worth Tex, were Capt. Harold L. Barry pilot of the ill-fated craft; It Paul Gerhart, radar observer and T-Sgt. Martin B. Stephens, gun ner.
 Royal Canadian Air Force offic- ials said the trio, still tired from their experiences, would remain here to study photographs of the area over which they jumped.
 May Pinpoint Spots
 Knowing the order in which the men left the plane, it was hoped that Barry and his two fellow crew. members might be able to pinpoint the spots where their lost com. rades landed.
 Before leaving Texas, however Barry and Gerhart said they be- lieved the missing men might be or Ashdown Island, tiny strip adja- cent to Princess Royal.
 Search crews from the Canadian destroyer Cayuga and four U s Coast Guard cutters criss-crossed the tiny strip adjacent to Princess Royal.
 Praise For POOler
 Meanwhile, rescue officials hac nothing but praise for the conduct of It. Charles G. Pooler, Beloit Kas., the twelfth member of the crew to be brought out safely.
 He was returned to McChoro Air Force Base, near Tacoma, Wash last night in flight 0, Fourth Rescue Squadron CAT from Port Hardy, B. c.

(By Associated Press)

Bitter cold and bowling gales descended on coal-short northeast ern states Monday.
 Some areas, including Newark and Philadelphia, had the coldest day of the winter.
 The weather man in Washington, D. O., said it looks like below nor mai temperatures are in sight for the next three weeks for lower New York State to New Orleans. Rain or snow also was forecast.

ANOTHER CLUE TO MISSING C-54 IS
 vALUELE55, REPORT

WHITEHORSE. VT. Feb. 20-lR Hope that an Indian trapper's story might lead searchers to 8 lost C-54 and it's A occupants van ished today.
 The slim clue, like others before was apparently valueless.
 Planes of the Royal Canadian and US. Air Forces penetrated the wilderness area 180 miles northwest of Whitehorse and landed a para rescue crew on the mountain pointed out by the Indian who is known only as Jimmy.
 It was there the trapper said he heard a crash on Jan. 26, the day the big four-engine transport dis appeared on a flight from Alaska to the United States.
 A helicopter, accompanied by a US. Air Force CAT, landed two young RCAP para-rescue crewmen on the mountainside today. Both are expert parachutists, first aid men and mountain climbers.
 Using walkie-talkie radios, they kept in constant touch with the two circling aircraft. The crewmen found small snowslide, such as the Indian had described, and dug into it with pickaxes.
 But they found no wreckage or evidence that a plane had crashed there.
 No further efforts will be made to verify the Indians story from the air. Headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police here said a ground search party that set out Saturday morning is still proceeding by dog sled to the area.

The W ashingion Merry Go Round
lCopyriaht. 1850. by Bell Syndicate. Incl By DREW PEARSON

VASHINGTON-During one part of the recent meeting of coal op- orators with John L. Lewis, Lewis challenged Bert Manley, spokesman for the Far West operators:
 'Mr. Manley, you know you'll sign anything the Illinois operators will sign, the Illinois operators will sign anything the Ohio mine own- CTS will agree to, and Ohio will follow Pennsylvania. That brings us to George Love (President of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company. When Love signs, the whole lot of you will fall down like tenpins.
 "The trouble with you gentlemen is you don't know how to think for yourselves. You're to easily coerced by the big banking interests that control you"
 Speaking of coercion" acidly shot back Love, how about all those men on your picket lines  who are keeping the mines from reopening? I guess you'd call that coercion"
 Lewis said the operators would have to meet two conditions" be- fore he would consider new con- tract: l. All lawsuits against him by operators who are demanding damages for their strike losses would have to be dropped; 2. Any operators who held back payments into the Miners Pension Welfare Fund during the strike must pay up pronto.
 Lewis somberly read the list of lawsuits against him, running into millions of dollars.
 T trust that you gentlemen will see to it that these suits are dis missed" he served notice. "The United Mine Workers lawyers will await your pleasure. As for those

AIRpLANE SCHEDULED TO MAKE LANDING AT NORTH POLE NEXT
 SUMMER; HUBBARD ON FLIGHT

this summer an airplane is schedul- ed to make the first recorded land- ing at the North Pole-and among its passengers will be the Rev. Bernard Hubbard. s. J.
 It will be a thrilling climax to 23 years of Arctic exploration for the noted Glacier Priest"
 For years I have looked forward to conducting mass at the North Pole," he said here Saturday.
 Father Hubbard, who has covered thousands of miles on foot in the far north, climbing snow-covered peaks, studying volcanoes, and gathering a wide variety of scientlf- ic data, will make the forthcoming flight in a United States Air Force plane.
 "The Air Force has made 400 flights over the Pole" he said, but no one has landed there-at least no United States plane.
 Remain Full Day
 We plan to stay full day. It is important to learn all we can about actual conditions on the top of the world.
 "As more planes fly over the po- lar region we know some will be lost-but we want to save the men It's to gain the information on survival there, and to perfect the rescue program, that this flight is planned"
 At the North Pole the ice at tains maximum thickness of about l8 feet, and the temperature rises considerably above zero, Father Hubbard said.
 Tn fact it rains there sometim- es," he added.
 To Sound Ocean Among other things, the party will sound the ocean Tt is reported to be l4,000 feet deep, but we want to find out for sure" he said.
 Father Hubbard, who lectured and showed his latest color motion pictures of the far north at the Civic Auditorium last night, said he considers the defense of Alaska is progressing satisfactorily.
 The situation in Alaska is good, he said, except that some places housing and recreation for the ser- wise men should be improved.
 Should Russia parachute troops. and take some of our military fields they could not maintain a line of supply, which would be minimum of 1000 miles long. And the worst handicap-the weather. works against foe as well as de- fender"
 Decay vs. Invasion
 He said he feared decay from within the Territory far more than possible invasion from without.
 The vastness and impenetrability of Alaska are already strong de- fenses," he said. "As an offense base, it has bases with runways nine miles long-two near Fair banks an one near Anchorage. We're ready for any kind of an air strike against Russia"
 Against Statehood
 The Priest said he is opposed to statehood for the Territory because of possible exploitation of the areas rich natural resources.
 Tt has too few legitimte tax payers to become a state. In the wrong hands it would make the Pendergast and Hague political ma- chimes look like peanut sellers" he said.
 I'm not nearly as afraid of pene- tration from without is I am Of decay from within. If we ever have any real fear of the Russians com- ing into Alaska, we already will have been so hopelessly betrayed from within that it won't much
