as More Mine Groups
Ask NLRB 10 Act 10
End Short Work Week

Forty five additional mine owner
groups asked the National Labor
Relations Board today to try to
force miners back on full work
week by court Injunction.
Operator groups representing
practically the entire soft coal in
dustry, now have filed unfair labor
practice charges against John L.
Lewis and asked for court action.
The coal groups filing charges
today included those from Illinois,
the Far West and major captive"
mines owned by steel companies.
The steel firms include Bethle-
hem. Republic. Jones & Laughlin,
Inland, Crucible and Armco.
Court Order Sought.
The operators want Robert N.
Denham. general counsel of the
NLRB, to seek q court order
against Mr.. Lewis to compel him
to bargain for new contract and
to end the present Lewis-ordered
three-day work week.
Two operators groups late yes
terday joined in the petition to
Mr.. Denham.
The new groups were the Cen
tral Pennsylvania Coal Producers
Association and the coal-produc-
ing subsidiaries of the United
States Steel Corp. Earlier. South
ern, Northern and Western opera
tors had asked the NLRB for re-
lief.
The producers charge Mr.. Lewis
and the UNIV have refused to
bargain in good faith" as re-
Quired by the Taft-Hartley Act
and have used the three-day week
In an effort to force the opera
tors to sign an illegal contract.
Mr.. Denham has the authority to
apply for an injunction in such
cases where he finds sufficient
evidence to support the charges.
Truman Refuses. to Act.
President Truman so far has
refused to use the national
emergency provisions of Taft
Hartley in the coal case. That
section of the law also provides
for injunction relief. However,
Mr.. Truman has held that no
national emergency exists in coal.
Mr.. Denham was expected to
announce his decision in the mat
ter of the operators petition in the
next few days. He has conferred
with number OF producers and
repeatedly was ready to discuss the
charges with Mr.. Lewis.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered a one-third
reduction in passenger service on

D. G. Can Thank Vests Cold
For SpringIike, 77-Degree Day

1t might seem cockeyed, but 20,
can thank the cold weather in the
West for Washington's spring.
like weather.
But just because the thermom-
eta rose to II degrees yesterday
don't jump to the conclusion that
we are in for an era of mild
winters.
These were the observations of
Weather Bureau Forecaster w. T.
Day, in between answering the
telephone at National Airport to
explain how come.
On the first point, Mr.. Day
explains it this way:
When a cold air mass moves
over the country, it frequently sets
up strong circulation Of air in
the East. Fortunately for us
Fasteners. this produces wind
from the southwest and the warm
Gulf of Mexico. The more intense
the cold in the West, the stronger
the circulation of air in these
parts.
Explains Last Winter.
. This explains why last winter
was so mild in the East. while the
West spent weeks in a snowbound
condition, he said.
AS for the opinion of some
weather experts that the Arctic is
warming up and that there is a
trend toward milder winters, the
Weather Bureau records don't
back this up. according to Mr..
Day.
I'm the past 100 years, there
has been only the slightest tend
ency to higher average tempera-
lures, amounting to only one or
two degrees" he said.

President Nominates
Switzer 10 Judgeship
Over Gillette Protest

President Truman today paved
the way for another job fight
when he nominated Carroll o.
Switzer of Des. Moines to be a
Federal judge for the Southern
District of Iowa, despite the pro-
test of Senator Gillette, Iowa
Democrat.
MIR. Switzer already had been
given a recess appointment after
the Senate Judiciary Committee
for weeks had tied up the NOM
ination because of Senator Gil
lette's opposition.
The Switzer nomination was in
cluded in long list the President
sent to the Senate to take care of
the appointments made while Con-
gress was in adjournment.
Included in the group was Sec
retary of Interior Oscar L. Chap
man, who succeeded Julius L.
Krug.
Refused to Withdraw Nomination.
Another nominee was Admiral
Forrest Sherman, who was named
Chief of Naval Operations, after
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld was
ousted in the unification row.
Senator Gillette has said he
considered the Switzer nomina-
ton personal affront, since he
had not been consulted on the ap-
pointment. He offered two other
candidates and as the fight went
on, Mr.. Switzer asked that his
original nomination be withdrawn.
The President refused to accede to
the request. The Senate has SCI
dom approved a nominee under
such circumstances.
Mr.. Truman was the loser in
two similar fights last year when
he failed to get Senate approval
for Mon c. Walgren to be chair
man OF the National Security Re-
sources Board, and Leland s. Oids
for reappointment to the Federal
Power Commission. This week the
President named Mr.. Olds to the
new temporary Water Resources
Policy Commission, a post which
does nat need Senate conf1rma-
ton.
Today's nominations included
more than a dozen judges who
In large part filled new positions
created by the last Congress.

The new Arlington County jail
held several score well-known
county residents yesterday-in-
cluding a former sheriff-bht
their incarceration was for a short

tary.
1t was the last of three "open-

the new courthouse wing. All told
an estimated 600 persons were
shown around by Sheriff j. Elwood
Clements and his assistants. More
than half signed a visitors regis

The largest single group yes
terday was made up Of about 40
members of the Arlington Or
ganized Women Voters-includ-
ing a woman who was a member
of a committee which requested
county authorities to build new
jail a quarter ago.
The committee member was Mrs.
