John L. Lewis, president Of the

|of his desire to seek a new con-
tract, industry sources said. The
UNIV headquarters today would
neither confirm nor deny that re-

A coal industry spokesman said
Mr.. Lewis notice has gone only to
Northern and some captive mine
operators. who have charge OF

spokesman said.
Summer Business OF 70 Per Cent
One Washington coal dealer
said his summer business is of
Jas much as 10 per cent. Others
said that. although the cheaper
summer prices are now in effect
Washingtonians lag in getting in

Coal users are ordering their
coal as they burn it, one officiel
said. The merchants pointed out
they cannot do as good a job
later, with the rush of business,
as they can now. They have nei-
ther the trucks nor men to handle
a sudden influx Of orders when
cold weather comes, they declared.

The comparatively small diff

think coal has gone about as

may be waiting for lower prices.

look ahead, in view Of current

One plan being discussed in

BroyhitI 10 Welcome
Votes Of Democrats
Opposed 10 Campbell

Joel T. Broyhill, Republican
nominee in Virginia'S 10th district,
today said he welcomed the sup
port of Democrats who voted
against Edmund D. Campbell in
Tuesdays primary.
Mr.. Campbell was the winner of
a four-way battle for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
Mr.. Broyhill charged that Mr..
Campbell engaged in a smear
campaign against his primary
opponents"
The G. o. P. candidate said that
If Mr.. Campbell conducts a SINH
lar campaign against me, won't
take it sitting down." He added:
IF Mr.. Campbell wants rough
and tumble, he will most certainly
get it,"
Reached last night in Roanoke,
where he is attending the State
Democratic convention, Mr.. Camp
bell said he was confident of VIC
story" and intended to wage a
vigorous campaign" for election.
He said he had been talking
with representatives of the 10th
district yesterday and II feel as
sured the Democratic Party will
present a united front in the 10th
district in the fall"
Mr.. Broyhill." MFR. Campbell
said. has been an ardent sup
porter of the reactionary, isola-
zionist. Taft wing of the Re-
publican Party, and for that rea-
son I believe he will find it diff
cult to get united support from
his own party"
An analysis of the returns in
Tuesdays Democratic primary,
Mr.. Broyhill said, indicates a re-
pudiation of the Harry Truman
Francis Pickens Miller brand of
socialistic and paternalistic gov
ernment.
"Edm6nd Campbell is the can
didate of the Truman Administra-
tion and the small faction of
anti-Jeffersoniaff Democrats that
sought to defeat Senator Byrd"
Mr., Broyhill said.
The G. o. P. nominee contin-
ued: THE combined vote against
the Fair Dealer Campbell was
5000 less than that polled by Mr..
j. Maynard Magruder and Mr..
c. C. Carlin. This result in sig
nif1cant. 1t clearly indicates that
many of these regular Democrats
will join with the Republicans on
November 4 in ousting the Fair
Deal administration and electing a
Republican congressman. Their
support is indeed welcome"

Dear Fellow Democrats:
Twenty years ago, the Demo-

Roosevelt, the Democratic Party

our principles. And remember
that the people have responded
to this bold and resolute action
every time by calling upon our
party to continue to lead the
Nation.
There will be voices calling
to us to turn aside from the
path to victory. We cannot
afford to be beguiled by the
weary or the fainthearted. Our
answer must be that we will not
compromise with the forces Of
defeatism, or reaction. or fear
that we will not retreat from
the great humanitarian prin-
ciples that have made our coun-
try what it is today.
This campaign must be
crusade. 1t must be a crusade
for the things that we know in
our hearts are right and good
for the American people and
the peace of the world.
Let us go into that crusade
with the banners of democracy
held high and with a burning
faith in the rightness Of our

That is the way we can serve
our country best.

well, for SO many people. And
no other party has such great
responsibilities for the future.

continuing service to the Nation

If we hold fast to our prin-

promises of the future will come
true for ourselves and our chill
dren. There must be no turn
ing back or faltering on the
great course that our party has
pioneered. There must be no

Taft Predicts Truman
Will Be Democrats
Choice for President
By Robert K. Welsh

Senator Taft, who repeatedly
was President Truman's "candi-
date" for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination, has returned the
compliment by predicting that the
Democrats will renominate Mr..
Truman.

to attend to some personal work
and correspondence in his Senate
office. He plans to return Satur-
day to resume the vacation he and
Mrs. Taft began last Sunday after
the Republican National Conven-
ton in Chicago. They will re-
main there until September 7.
Looking considerably more
rested than he did a week ago,
Senator Taft declined to discuss
his defeat by Gen. Eisenhower
at the convention. He mentioned.
however. that he received numer-
Gus messages from friends and
supporters who believed he should
have been nominated. Aides esti-
mated that at least 5000 letters
and kilograms have poured in
since last Friday.
Senator Taft told reporters his
prediction about President Tru-
man was not new. He said he al
ways has expected the Democratic
convention ultimately would turn
to Mr.. Truman as the best known
and strongest man they could
nominate.
Mr.. Truman has declared fire.
quently that he is not a candidate
for another term and would not
allow himself to be drafted. Demo-
cratic National Chairman Frank
E. Mckinney said yesterday in
Chicago that in view of Mr.. Tru-
mans expressed wishes to him.
he would feel duty-bound to dis
courage any draft movement.
II have always thought they
would fall back on Harry" Sen
ator Taft commented. II don't
see what else they can do"
He indicated this didn't mean
he thought President Truman, if
nominated. could defeat the G. O.
P. nominee. But he explained
that Mr.. Truman, despite weak
nesses" as a candidate. seemed
best able to run on the record OF
the Truman Administration.

CHICAGO, July 17.-President
Truman's fighting declaration
against any convention betrayal
of his political creed paced a new
trend among Democratic presi-
dental aspirants today.
Without any apparent advance
knowledge of Mr.. Truman's blunt

candidates moved to put them
selves in a position-if they get
the 'nomination-to lead a fight

Pattern Of Thinking.
Their declarations seemed to in

thinking among the presidential
|hopefuls that the Republicans

force the Democrats to pick a
nominee who can call himself a
progressive.
In words that paralleled Mr..
|Truman's official message to the
convention delegates, Senator
|Kefauver told a news conference
yesterday:
1.-THE Democratic Party must
continue to be the liberal. pro-
Egressive party Of the Nation. We
cannot retreat on either foreign
policy or in the domestic field"
Senator Kefauver leads in the
Associated Press delegate tabula-
tfon with 256 votes to 1902 for

of support and known first-ballot
preferences. Averell Hartman,
mutual security director and an
all-out supporter of Truman pol
icies, is running third with 112
votes. It takes GIG to win.

Mr.. Truman said in his message,
to be printed in the official con-
vention program handed to every
one of the 1876 delegates, that
no other political party has "done
so much, so well, for so many
people" He declared:
