C0MMIE5 DID TOD ORGANIZING JOB:
 GOVT. WITNESS

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6-tR A government witness in the Harry Bridges perjury trial testified today the Communist party did 'an excellent job" in helping organize waterfront workers in 1885 through 1886.
 The witness was Mervyn Rath- borne, one-time intimate of Bridges in waterfront union affairs. Rath- borne had testified he was an active and influential Communist from 1885 through 1946. Further, he said, he had attended many Communist meetings with Bridges.
 Bridges, President of the CIO Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union, was indicted last May on a charge he committed perjury at his 1945 citizenship hearing by denying he was or had ever been a Communist.
 Rathborne was still under cross examination today by Vincent Hal linan, chief attorney for Bridges.
 He praised the Communist party for what it did in helping organize waterfront workers in 1884, 1885 and 1886.
 "But things now are very dif- ferent' in the Communist party, he said.
 Hallinan asked didn't Harry Bridges deserve a lot of credit for organizing the unions, and wasn't his work very important?"
 Rathborne replied: The work of everyone who was carrying it on was important. And Bridges had an important part in it. But I don't credit him with being the savior ot the working class-who organized the unions single-handed.

RA|SE0F$1.40 SENDS MINERS
 BACK TO PITS
Coal Cost Upped 25 10 50 Gents = Work Steadied
 for Year or Longer

WASHINGTON, March 6-lR- The signing of new contract sent soft coal miners swarming back to the pits today-ending a serious threat to the nations economy and promising peace in the coal fields for months to come.
 For the miners, the prize they won was $140 daily package" per man. plus reasonable assurance of fairly steady work for at least a year and perhaps until the middle of 1852. For the operators, it meant getting back into business.
 For the public the settlement meant relief from a four-week strike, rescue from looming indus trial breakdown. and some assur- ance of stability in what President Truman has called "a sick indus try,"-plus higher coal bills.
 One operator put the cost of the United Mine Workers gains at $250, 100000 this year. The extra cost to consumers may be anywhere from 25 to 50 cents ton.
 The strike-settling contract was signed by UNIV President John l.. Lewis and the spokesmen for all major groups of operators-north, west, the reluctant south. and the steel-owned captive" group at 5:30 pm. (EST) Sunday.
 Lewis told newsmen: "The United Mine Workers have again accom- plished the impossible" Then he let the word be flashed to the 370,000 strikers:
 All mines will resume work"
 This time there was no defiance of back-to-work order. There was a contract, there would be work. In many disticts the jubilant miners waived formal meetings and back to-work votes. Until now they had defied orders to go back from both Lewis and the federal court.
 Local officials hurried the move ment by radio broadcasts in some towns. Maintenance men hurried back to some pits before the ink on the contract was fairly dry.

 Tt is my opinion then that she was dead,' Dr. Sander testified in calm voice. T can't explain exactly what action I took then. Something snapped. Why I did it l can't tell. It doesn't make sense"

MINES OPENING

PITTSBURGH, March 6-tP- About one-third of Americas soft coal mines swung back into opera ton today to pace the gigantic task of refueling shivering nation
 Resumption of digging that began a bare five hours after the official end of the great coal strike prog ressed slowly. But by nightfall nearly every bituminous pit in the country is expected to be turning out coal.
 Many of the 372,OOO strikers re- ported to the mines in the same festive mood they were in during a weekend victory celebration. Gone were the grim stares and angry murmurs of previous months.
 Big industries-crippled by the fuel shortage-limped along step behind the mines in restoring order to the nations economy.
 Tt all depends on how soon and how fast we can get coal" said spokesman for the US. Steel Corp. Well probably be back to normal operations in few days"
 Railroads completed arraying fleets of coal cars for the big job of moving the precious product.
 A survey of the fields indicated fewer than 30,0O0 miners on early shifts answered the back to work call.
 In some cases pits were reopened although a fraction of the normal manpower was present.

WASHINGTON, March 6-R-A southern Democrat told the House today he could see no racia grounds for denying statehood tc Hawaii.
 Rep. Larcarde D-La) urged, as the House resumed debate on the Hawaiian statehood bill, that tht island territory be admitted to the Union immediately.
 He said he had observed in Ha- waii the intermingling of persons of many Asiatic and Polynesian ex- fractions lin perfect harmony"
 If that is their way of life, that is their business" he asserted, add ing that the people of the south only ask that they be permitted to deal with their own racial prob- lems in their own way.
 Larcarde headed House sub- committee which visited the island in 1946 and recommended state hood for Hawaii. He said the ques- ton whether Hawaii should be ad- mitted to statehood was decided 50 years ago when Hawaii was ad- mitted as a Territory
 Rep. Price (D-IlD also supported statehood for Hawaii.
 There was brief debate on the measure last Friday-after the law makers had approved Alaskan statehood 186 to 14S-and a vote was expected on Hawaii either late today or tomorrow.
 Passage seemed certain. The House approved a similar bill in 1947.
 In general, the same House mem- bers who backed Alaska's state hood bid are supporting the Ha- waiian measure.

RASH OF BERG5 DOTS
 GASTINEAU CHANNEL

A rash of icebergs dotted Cas- tineau Channel over the weekend, moving in and out with the tide and providing hazard for small craft and landing aircraft.
 Several stood above the water more than 20 feet, and one of these posed a problem for the technically minded: although it was reported to rise more than 20 feet out Of the water, it was seen to bump aground near Douglas in water known to be no more than 10 feet deep. Icebergs are generally seyen- eights below water.
 Coast Guard officials cautioned mariners to beware of even the smallest bergs which may be much bigger under water than they ap- pear to be from the surface.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
fCopyrisht. 1850. by Bell Syndicate. Incl
 By DREW PEARSON

VASHINGTON-Abe Davidian, a narcotics runner, was found lying on a couch in his mothers home in Fresno, Cal, last week, bullet hole in his head.
 Behind his murder were ramifi- cations extending to the New Jer- sey Palisades, probably down to Miami, Fla, where a narcotics grand jury has been in session, and apparently up to enforcement officers in the State of California. In fact, Davidian's murder illus trates the amazing interstate net work of organized crime.
 I was in Fresno in January when Davidian and IS others were indict- ed by the Federal Government in an effort to break up a giant narcotics ring. At that time both Warren Olney of the California Crime Commission and George White, Chief U. s. Narcotis Agent for the West Coast, were worried. They told me they were worried over the strange behavior of the office of California's Attorney Gen. eral Fred Howser in declining to CO., operate in this important case.
 Here is the story of this signifi- cant murder and the peculiar facts behind it.
 Four months ago Davidian was speeding up California's Central Valley near Bakersfield with one kilogram of heroin in his car. When the police gave chase, he drove so fast that, though he tossed the heroin out to get rid of evidence, some of it flew into the back seat with such force that the police had

STATEH0 FOE LOST NO SLEEp' ON VOTE
Not Enough taxpayers, Lafhrop Says-AIaska Has Served Tuteldge:G v.TaIks

SEATTLE, March 6-LRD-One of the most outspoken foes of state hood for Alaska was astonished by the strength of the dissenting vote when the House of Representatives approved admission of the Terri tory into the Union.
 Austin E. (Cap) Lathrop, 84- year-old Alaskan industrialiSt, said yesterday he didn't los wink of sleep" over the 186-146 vote which sent the statehood bill to the Senate Friday.
 The heavy opposition vote was surprising, Lathrop said, because nobody in the House could hurt himself by voting for it, since the Senate is there to make sure the bill will go no further"
 The political compulsion" that exists in the Senate was absent in House consideration of the mea- sure, Lathrop said.
 "The State of Alaska would send one Representative and two Senat- ors to Washington" he said. -Four hundred thirty-five Representatives don't worry too much about one more member but 96 Senators will think a moment before they consent to two more"
 Lathrop is in Seattle on his way to Alaska after a trip to Washing ton, D. c. He will fly to Fairbanks tomorrow.
 Lathrop has lived in Alaska since 1896, when he sailed from Seattle as part owner of a steam schooner carrying gold miners.
 Statehood Too Costly
 Lathrop has opposed immediate statehood for Alaska on the grounds that too few taxpayers would have to support a government more costly than the Territorial Govern ment we have not proven we can support properly now"
 Lathrop disaprroved the use of national defense" as an argument for statehood.
 "I'd hate to think" he said, that the proper defense of the nations most strategic area depends in any degree on the form of government of Alaska"
 Lathrop was accompanied by his secretary, Miss Miriam Dickey.
