French Strike Crisis
Eases on Railroads.;
Wage Increase Seen
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 23.-Traftie in
creased today on the e-bound
French rail network and an official
of the government-owned roads
said that 80 per cent of the trunk
line trains would run today.
Suburban service remained poor,
however. and observers considered
the official predictions too opti-
mistic. The 48-hour walkout is
due to end at midnight (6 pm.
EST.
The improvement followed liber-
al use by the authorities of both.
1.-The Carrot and the Stick"
The promise came in an ad-
visory report to the cabinet that
the cost Of living had risen II per
cent since August. On this basis,
the cabinet was expected to an
nounce later today an increase of
about 10 per cent in the national
minimum wage-now Ii, 800 francs
t$45) a month.
The threat went out in the
form of 10000 draft orders to
selection of railway workers to re-
main on the job throughout the
country. Disobedience meant the
risk of five years in jail-theo-
retically. Actually. some employees
were refusing to reply, backed by
their unions.
Paris Strikes Continue.
Strikes in Paris-buses, sub
ways. gas and electricity-were
still going on but were not seri-
ously affecting the city's life. 1t
was just a bother to get around
town if you did not own car,
or could not afford a taxi.
But horse races were being
scheduled Sunday at st. Cloud and
Auteuil, after nearly a weeks in
terruption. Gas supplies were back
nearly to normal, after key per-
sonnet received draft orders, and
there have been no power cuts.
There were few stoppages re-
ported in other towns and indus
tries, however. At the Brest naval
arsenl a 24-hour strike order was
obeyed by all but $50 of the $500
employees. Streetcars and buses
came to a dead stop for nearly
two hours at the height of the
morning rush in Bordeaux. And
there were 1000 strikers in the
northern coal-mining area.
Premier Henri Queuille told the
Assembly the striking railroad
workers must not be permitted to!
cut off cities from the necessary
food supplies. But, speaking of
strikers. he added.
Their demands. for the most
part justified. will be satisfied. u
IL to 16 Pct. Demanded.
The unions have been demand
ing raises from II to 16 per cent. |
Non Communist metal workers
and their employers yesterday
agreed on a 7 per cent increase,
while insurance companies granted
q 10 per cent raise.
Mr.. Queuille warned that the
country's financial and economic
rehabilitation must not be-
jeopardized for any single group.
The Premier admitted that the
cost of living had indeed risen
and that certain measures" must
be taken. He blamed interna-
tional NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Doctors have established a blood

The work now has reached the

blood vessel ''banks" could be es-
tablished in all big cities where
cardio-vascular surgery is per-

Eventually. large cities should
be able to supply the adjacent

obstacles to the extensive use of
such operations is the lack of
donors. Another obstacle is that
only a few of the persons who
undergo autopsies after death
have suitable blood vessels for
grating.
1T is hoped that the actual
existence of successfully func-

the New York bank, will help in

|RFC Probers Prepare
For Casey Challenge
In Recalling Witness
By Robert K. Welsh

| Senators investigating the Re.

closed today that their jurisdic,
ton may be challenged by 6
scheduled witness next week.
Members of the Senate Banking
Subcommittee examining the "in.
fuence" phase of RFC also saw 8
possibility that much of theil
work may be taken over or over.
shadowed by other committee
Inquiries in April.
The jurisdictional issue. they
said, may arise when former
Representative Casey of Massa-
chusetts, now practicing law here
returns for further questioning
probably Tuesday. The subcom-
mittee wants to know more about
the way he and several associates
made profitable sales of ships
purchased from the Maritime
Commission.
That matter and several others
not relating directly to RFC were
brought out in questioning OF
some witnesses who had RFC
dealings. Members said it may
be referred eventually to the Sen
ate Expenditures investigating
subcommittee, headed by Senator
Hoey, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima. if Senator Hoey agrees to
accept it.
Limited Authority Seen.
Banking Subcommittee Chair
man Fulbright remarked several
times. in the course of open hear
ings since February 81, that his
groups authority seemed limited
to a study of RFC.
OF more immediate interest to
chairman Fulbright and others
on the subcommittee was an an
Inouncement by Chairman May
bank that the Senate House
watchdog" committee on de-
Ifense production will start hear
ings early next month on a far
lreaching investigation of the mo-
bilization program.
On that committee are four of
the seven members of the Bank
ing subcommittee on RFC. They
Iare Senators Fulbright. Maybank,
|Capehart and Bricker.
Early Hearings on RFC Bills.
Moreover. Senator Maybank,
speaking in his capacity as chair
man of the full Banking Commit
tee, told the Senate Expenditures
Committee last Wednesday that
his committee planned early hear
ings on what to do about RFC.
Meanwhile. the Expenditures
Committee. headed by Senator
Mcclellan. Democrat. of Arkansas,
recessed yesterday until April 2 in
its open hearings on President
Truman's plan for reorganizing
RFC.
The Fulbright subcommittee, at
the same time, has an additional
$4,000 allotted to it by Banking
Committee Chairman Maybank to
carry on the investigation of in
f1uence and favoritism" affecting
RFC.
The furry of committee cross
fires was viewed philosophically
by Senator Fulbright today. He
said he had not known about the
watchdog" committees plan.
He recalled. however. that he
had suggested a broader inquiry
than his subcommittee could make
with Its small staff and limited
Authority. He indicated he would
be glad to refer to Senator Hoey's
subcommittee or other appropriate
group any Overlapping" matter
that has been developed in the
hearings on RFC.
Senator Fulbright said the sub
committees only scheduled hear
ings are those next week for Mr..
Casey and Senator Murray, Demo-
crat, of Montana.

Bean Stringing Story BY
Adams Needs Several
Corrections

With some reluctance, we make
some corrections, solely in the
interest of accuracy. with refer
ence to an article that appeared in
the daily papers last Sunday, to
which the Roanoke Times gave
the title, Bean Stringing Fete
Turned Into Tragedy In Dicken-
son. The writer Of that article
is our good friend James Taylor
Adams.
The information given by MIR
Adams was not correct in several
details. If one is writing fiction,
he may with license twist his
facts and color his details. If one
purports to write history, he
should be sure of his facts.
Now, for the article:
'Moccasin- Foot John Fleming,
Stump Colley and Lowrie Mullins
were mentioned as the leaders of
the posse. LoWrie Mullins was
certainly rather, young. at that
time (either' 1902 or 1907. He was
not a member of the posse, which
consisted of John Fleming, James.
Sherman Mullins, Harrison John
son, Alex Elkins, Sam EllSins and
John Graham. Lowrie Mullins, did
in the capacity of a special officer,
have difficulty years later with
one Of the men who was involved
in the crime committed early in
the century. Some time in 1919
he killed that man, according to
a verdict Of jury, in self-defense,
in the North of the Mountain"
near Shelby Gap, KY. IT was not
John Fleming, nor did the killing
occur in the South of the Noun
tain"
Mr.. Adams states that the out
laws were located in house or,
Georges Fork The location was
On Lick Fork.
The account of the manner in
which one of the fugitives, George
Potter, was killed is sketchy, to
say the least. He was shot while
crossing a fence between the
house and the cave and was shot
again at the barricade. His COM
panion did not give up at the
house. He escaped into West Vir-
ginia, where he was later taken.
If Mr.. Adams could talk with
William Mullins, who lives in Fox
town, he could secure accurate,
and yet more colorful, details
with respect to this tale.
Note: John Fleming killed in
his own home.
