By the Associoted Press

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, Mar. g.
Common Pleas Judge Howard E.
Taught today ordered the United
Mine Workers to turn over to the
court records of meetings Of it's
International Executive Board
and Policy Committee.
The order was issued at the re-
quest of the Pittsburgh Consoli-
dation Coal Co., which is suing
John L. Lewis and the UNIV for
81 2,220,000 damages under Ohio's
Valentine Antitrust Act.
The union was directed to sup
ply, by March 16, all records,
documents and transcripts of
meetings of the Executive Board
and Policy Committee relating to
the coal miners three e-day, two
day and no-day work week"
Judge Taught also ordered the
union to submit copies of con-
tracts it has signed with indi-
vidual mines which are continu-
ing to operate in the midst of the
miners strike.
Asks 50 Million Damages.
Pittsburgh Consultations suit
against Mr.. Lewis, the UNIV and
other high officers of the union is
one of nine similar suits filed by
coal operators under the Valen-
tine Act. They seek a total of 50
million in damages.
The operators allege that Mr..
Lewis, his officers and the miners
have violated the Valentine Act
by conspiring to limit coal produc-
ton and control prices.
Also named in the suit, now be-
fore Judge Taught. is Earl j.
Jones, owner of the Misco mine
in Muskingum and Perry Counties.
Pittsburgh Consolidation alleged
that Mr.. Jones, who signed sep
arate contract with the UNIV, is
in collusion with Mr.. Lewis to
control production and fix prices.

pose in obtaining today's order, it
said, was to show how high policy

u. n. Special Session
On China and A-bomb
Under Consideration
By the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Mar. 3.-The
critical issues of Red China and
the atomic bomb appeared headed
today for a special session of the
United Nations General Assembly
in New York in mid-May. But
U. N. leaders privately expressed
little belief such a meeting would
entice the Russians back to the
fold unless an unexpected break
comes.
The Soviet delegation and its
allies have been on a walkout
strike against U. N. organizations
since January, refusing to sit with
delegates of Nationalist China.
Informed U. N. delegates said
feeling is growing that something
must be done: that the U. N. can
not go on forever with some mem
bers refusing to take part and
with the East West tension in
creasing.
Want Russians Return.
So far, these sources said, the
best bet appeared to be special
session.
The session might be called pri-
marily to settle the China ques-
tion and get the Russians and
their satellites back into the meet
ings.
Then, the Assembly could be
faced with the atomic control
question. If there is special ses-
sion it might begin in mid May.
The regular 1850 session is sched-
uled next fall.
The Soviet delegation. mean
while, keeps up operations from
it's Park Avenue headquarters in
New York City instead of coming
out to Lake Success. Late yester-
day Jacob A. Malik, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister, sent telegram
to U. N. Secretary General Trygve
Lie and U. N. Assembly President
Carlos P. Romulo appealing to
them to intervene to save eight
Greek trade union leaders from
death sentences.
Russians Get U. N. Records.
On other occasions the Russians
have issued statements at their
headquarters and sent copies to
the press area at Lake Success
for reporters covering the U. N.
They have picked up U. N. records
to keep abreast Of developments.
A spokesman for Mr.. Malik said
there was no comment on the
suggestion of Senator Mcmahon,
Democrat, of Connecticut in the
Senate that the Assembly meet
in Moscow on the atomic problem.
This spokesman smiled and
said "The Assembly in Moscow

The Standard said Mr.. Attlee had
called for a sweeping inquiry into
Britain's military intelligence as a
result of the case.
His Books Quoted.
Quoting pro-Communist state
ments from two books published
by Mr.. Strachey in 1882 and 1886,
the Express editorial today said:
I'm view Of his (Strachey's) past
sympathies, it is highly undesir-
able that he should be responsible
for Britain's counterespionage sec
ton"
He will not command sufficient
public confidence in that position, "
the editorial continued. "The
Prime Minister should therefore
give recognition to this by remov-
ing Mr.. Strachey from the War
Ministry forthwith"
This was stronger declaration
than the earlier Standard edi-
torial, which said. merely that
strong pressure" would be
brought for Mr.. Strachey's dis
missal from the job Mr.. Attlee
appointed him to two days ago.
But the Express did not re-
iterate the Standards charges that
Mr.. Strachey was an avowed Com
munist. It's story merely quoted

lished in 1882, and Theory and

Mr.. Strachey was arrested by
immigration agents IN the United

claring on a lecture tour that he
was q Communist. He told the
press he was not a Communist.
Immigration authorities dropped
the charges of entering the Unit
ed States by uttering false state
ments when Mr.. Strachey sailed
for England on schedule.
Again in 1888 he was detained
on arrival at Ellis Island after the
American consulate general in
London Cancelled his visa while
he was in mid-At!antic, declaring
it was convinced that he is a
member OF the Executive Commit
tee Of the British Communist
Party" He told neWsmen at that
time:
II am not and never have been

ty or the Third Internationale."
Mr.. Strachey was released two
weeks later on bail on condition
that he agree not to lecture in
the United States. Deportation
proceedings against him were
dropped the following month when
he decided to return to Britain.

Associated Press Military Affairs Reporter
] Congress has Gen. Hoyt Van
denbefg's word that strategic
bombing can help an outnumbered
land army save Western Europe
from an aggressor.
The Air Forces chief of staff
reaffirmed his confidence in stra-
tegic air war (the destruction of
an enemy's munitions-produc
centers) in his most recent Capitol
Hill appearance to testify on new
military appropriations requests.
The value Of strategic air war
has been debated for a decade,
since the first days Of World War
II. Strategic air war now is one
of the major components of the
defensive war plans of the Ameri-
can Joint Chiefs of Staff, of which
Gen. Vandenberg Is a member.
But the argument goes on. The
question bobbed up again when a
House Appropriations military
subcommittee heard testimony of
Air Force officials recently.
Chairman Mahon told Gen.
Vandenberg there are "some mis-
guided Americans and Air Force
enthusiasts who have miscalculat-
ed the capacity of air power to
win a war or a battle. Mr.. Mahon
added that "of course, nobody in
the military establishment, nor
any well-informed person, has
held that view" He said he
wanted the Air Forces comment.
Gen. Vandenberg then summed up
the Air Forces views about grand
strategy. saying this:
Korea can't be taken as an ex-
ample because in that war zone
there is an "inviolate border and
you can't use strategic air in full
measure. The border is the Yalu
River, beyond which lie the air
bases and assembling points for
the masses of Chinese Red troops
which nave overwhelmed United
Nations ground forces. Under
questioning, Gen. Vandenberg said
the Yalu boundary was made in
violate by decision of the United
Nations.
But If we are now talking about
Europe. where there are no bor-
ders that we cannot cross" the
situation is quite different, he said.
And here, Gen. Vendenberg diplo-
matically referred to TX nation"
as the aggressor.
Knocking Out Industry.
He continued:
"The reason the Air Force does
not believe that the war can be
won solely by the Navy or solely
by the Air Force or solely by the
Army is this:
LET us take, for example, *
country, which has overwhelming
ground forces. We do not put
the ground forces in the field, but
we put in a tremendous strategic
air force. Let us take X country
that is relatively poor in its manu-
featuring capacity. Let us say
that the Air Force succeeds in
knocking out its potential to fight
a war. Now the army Of this x
