million shares.
Quick resumption of coal min

yesterday when a lively advance
carried the price level within hail

part on expectations that the Gov

Grafton of the coal mines.
Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal

Virginia Rent Bill
Faces Battle TODAY
After Committee OK
By Alex R. Preston
Sior Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. "A
last-ditch fight on a proposed
State rent control law was sched-
uled for today in the House of
Delegates.
BY a close vote a House COM
mittee yesterday reported the
Magruder bill to permit localities
to invoke rent controls until July
l. 1852, providing Congress does
not lift Federal controls entirely
before that date.
The bill has as it's chief patron
Delegate }. Maynard Magruder,
Arlington, and is co-sponsored by
Delegates George Damn, also Ar
lington; Armistead Booth, Alex
andria, and Edwin Lynch. Fairfax.
The House Committee on Gen
eral Laws reported the bill, to 7.
This committee is headed by Dele
gate John B. Boatwright, Buck
ingham, who earlier in the session
sponsored legislation repeating the
existing State Rent Act. which
never has been used, and lifting
Federal rent controls in Virginia
on June 25.
Booth Offers Amendment
Mr.. Boatwright was opposed to
Mr.. Magruder's bill and was
among the seven voting against
it. Mr.. Booth, member of the
committee, offered the amend
ment which provided that if Con-
gress fails to enact any rent con-
troll legislation when the present
Federal act expires, July /, the
Magruder law would not take ef-
feet.
Although I am against the
principle of rent control and it is
against my best interests, because
I am in the real estate business
I feel that we should de-control
gradually" Mr.. Magruder said.
Mr.. Boatwright contended that
the war emergency has passed and
that the bill was "socialistic" leg
islation.
Gov. Battle already has said
that the Magruder bill might very
well answer the problems that
exist in such areas as Alexandria
Arlington and Fairfax. If the
bill should pass the house, an
other amendment will be offered
in the Senate making it manda-
tory for the governor to invoke
the law in localities asking for it
thus removing the discretionary
responsibilities that the bill now
provides for him.
Action Deadline Is Today.
If the bill has any chance of
passage, it must be approved by
the House and sent to the Sen
ate today. This is the last day
on which either branch may con-
slider bills originating in its own
house, unless the rules are sus-
pended or the governor sends a
special message. Adjournment
takes place next Saturday.
Meanwhile, Gov. Battle re-
turned to both branches the lille
gai' Boatwright rent repeal bill
with a suggestion that the errone-
GUS title be corrected. Necessary
amendments were adopted and
the bill now goes back to the
governor who probably will sign
1t the latter part of next week.

Witness for Sander
Insists Death Came
Before Air Shots
BY the Associated Press

| br ms NSSoCiofeo FFeSS
MANCHESTER, N. H., Mar. A.
DR.. Hermann N. Sanders claim
that cancer patient died before
he injected air into her veins still
stood today after a stiff attack.
The mercy murder trial Of the
4l-year -old physician was in re-
cess until Monday, when DR..
Sander may take the stand in
his own defense.
Attorney General William L.
Phinney tried hard yesterday to
make a star defense witness say
Mrs. Abbie Borroto, SO. was "prac-
tically dead" and not entirely
dead when he saw her last De-
cember 4. He failed.
The witness was DR.. Albert
Snay, who said he found Mrs.
Borroto dead few minutes be-
fore DR.. Sander put air into her
veins in an apparent gesture of
impulsive mercy.
Euthanasia Enters Trial.
Mr.. Phinney put the word eu-
thanasia into the l0-day-old trial
record for the first time with a
suggestion that young DR.. Snay
favors such mercy killings.
Il have no opinion on eutha-
nasia," insisted Dr.. Snay.
The defense then swung to the
counterattack with a medical wit
ness, who testified DR.. Sander
once stood firm against euthana-
sia in another case.
DR.. Robert Rix said he was
called in to treat a patient Of
DR.. Sander-a paralyzed woman
whose life was ebbing because Of
fostering sore on her body.
Insisted on Treatment.
''The question was whether or
not it was wise to treat her." tes-
titled DR.. Rix, because she was
burden to herself and her fam
lily. The question was whether
it would be wiser to let natural
causes lead to her DEATH"
DR.. Sander insisted on treat
ment. DR.. Rix recalled. The wom-
an partially recovered and gets
around in a wheel chair today, he
added.
The rapid-f1re order in which
% defense witnesses took the
stand yesterday led to a defense
prediction that testimony might
be over by Tuesday. Thus, the
case might 60 to the all-male
jury by Thursday.
There we're tears in the eyes
of many spectators as a parade
of DR.. Sanders patients-rich
and poor. young and old-testi-
fed to their love and respect for
the physician who stood by them
in their darkest hours.
Concluded Woman Was Dead.
DR.. Snay said he examined the
ashen-pale, wasted body of Mrs.
Borroto, found no pulse or heart
beat and concluded "she was
gone" AS DR.. Sander came into
the room that December morn
ing. DR.. Snay said he told him,
"She is gone"
Mr.. Phinney recalled that DR..
Snay visited him last New Years
eve and revealed he had made q
signed statement to the defense.
Didn't you tell me that as far
as you were concerned, Mrs. Bor-
roto was practically dead?" the
attorney general asked. his voice
rising and swapping for the first
time in the trial.
Il say no." replied the stocky
young doctor in calm, carrying
tones. II don't think I'd say she
was practically dead to you"

Phinney insisted.
No" replied DR.. Snay.
Have you ever had a patient
without a pulse who subsequently
lived?" demanded the state prose.

AHlee Par|eys Seek
To Spike Red Labels
Put on Cabinet Aide
By the Assoeioted Pres.

LONDON. Mar. 4.-Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee yesterday
held a series of conferences be-
Ieved to be linked with the tight
ening Of security over Britain's S
atomic secrets and spiking at
tacks against his new war minis
ter. John Strachey.
Among those Mr.. Attlee met was
Mr.. Strachey himself, who yes
terday publicly denied he was a
Communist and declared he had
broken with Communist views in
1910 when the Reds refused to
back Britain's war effort.
The prime minister's longest
conference was with Sir Percy
Sillitoe, chief of Britain's coun-
ter-spy military intelligence. It
was presumed their talks ranged
over the whole problem of atomic
security.
1t was almost certain that they
discussed the Seven-year leakage
of atomic secrets to Russia through
the hands of the German born
Communist DR.. Klaus Fuchs, who
was sentenced to IA years in
prison last Wednesday.
Confers With Anderson.
This topic also was believed to
be the subject of Mr.. Attlees
talks with Sir John Anderson,
wartime Minister of Home Secur-
ity and later head Of the govern
ment Atomic Energy Advisory
Committee until it recently was
dissolved.
The Prime Minister'S 15-min-
ute conversation with Mr..
Straehey could we'll have been
confined to accusations during
the past two days by the pro-
Tory newspapers of Lord Beaver
brook that the War Minister
never had disavowed communism.
The attacks against Mr.. Stra-
chey. in which the Beaverbrook
press quoted old pro-Communist
statements published by him be-
fore the war. took on a double
meaning in Britain.
With the Labor Government
facing rough going on an un-
stable majority of only seven
seats in Parliament, the charges
were viewed by the pro-Labor
press as the beginning of a Tory
campaign to embarass the Attlee
regime.
1t was also noted that Mr.
Strachey, who said he had never
concealed the fact that he once
had Communist leanings, is one
of the ministers responsible for
military intelligence.
Second Spy Sought.
These issues were further high
lighted today by reports in the
Laborite Daily Herald and the
Conservative Daily Mail that the
British military intelligence and
the American FBI are both look
ing for second spy.
The Herald, giving no source
for its information, declared that
British counter-espionage has
confirmed that research informa-
ton has been passing to foreign
power since Fuchs ceased opera
tions two years ago."
The story played up the visit
of Sillitoe with Mr.. Attlee and
said the counter spy chief had
given the Prime Minister report
on the work his men had done, in
conjunction with the FBI, to
break up the atomic spy ring.
The Daily Mail said British Sc
curity officers are looking for a
man known for his violent anti
British feelings" but not known to
be Communist.
Suspicion that there is another
spy, said the Mail, arose because
although Fuchs began to have
doubts about Communism in 1916
and slowed down his leakages of
Information, "other information
poured into Russia"
1T is believed the source was
from this country" the newspaper
said.
Officials would make no COM
ment on these stories.

A. G. s. Revises Rofes:
Aims TO Give Alaska
Lowest Cost Possible

Adjusted telegraph message
tariffs have been announced by
the Alaska Communications Sys-
tenn to become effective as of
January l, 1851.
The primary aim of the
Alaska Communication System
is to provide commercial COM
munications service at the low
est cost possible to Alaskan GUS
toners" stated Col. Fred P. An
dreWs, commanding officer of
the system in Seattle.
However, to provide service
10 the greatest number of people
possible, it has been necessary to
connect to and through CONNER
cially owned facilities for servi-
ces rendered. AS a consequence
thereof, certain classifications
of messages and routings have
failed to produce sufficient re-
venue to meet fixed costs
Adjusted tariff schedules were
Ill6AlICNASSl W AllN1 cast IA CSSAt
low rates for deferred message
classification where total tolls
do not meet fixed payouts and
at the same time to decrease
rates for full rate message
classification resulting in a rel
atively unchanged overall cost
to the public These adjustments
will alleviate at this time the
necessity for a general rate in
crease on all services to meet
increased payouts.
After January /, Alaskans
will find basically the following
changes in message rates:
l. A decrease in extra word
rates for day messages and day
letters.
2. An increase in initial night
letter rates with a decrease in
rates for words above the initial
minimum.
8. Decreases in rates for mes
sages filed to other line stations
in Alaska and between Alaska
Communication System points
less 100 miles distant.
4. Addition of night press
rate and elimination Of day
press rates.

are securely locked.
THE time is past" stated
Chief Green, when SeWardites
could leave doors unlocked,
secure in the knowledge of the
honesty of all people. Unsavory
characters are dropping into
town frequently, and coopera-
ton of the people is necessary
to the efficiency of the Police
Department"
All doors in the downtown
area are checked by the foot
patrolman every night and there
is a 80 minute patrol of streets
and alleys, but an unlocked
door is open temptation before
the patrol check is made.
