For Car Inspection,
Prohibited by Rain

sunshine or for an inspection sta

Coal Price Increased; !;
Strike Possible if Full
Pay Boost Is Denied
Bituminous Up IS Cents,
Anthracite Rises $l.35;
Wage Hearings Monday
Ry the Assocjoted Pysss

The Government yesterday in
creased the ceiling price of coal.
A hearing Monday could determine
whether the ceiling goes even
higher, or whether coal miners
strike.
The Once of Price Sterilization
announced ceiling price increases
ranging as high as rs cents per
ton on bituminous coal and $1.35
per ton on Pennsylvania anthra-
cite at the mines.
The increases may be passed on
to the public.
The OPS explained the raise
was granted to Offset the $3.50 per
day wage increase for soft coal
miners approved by the Wage Sta
bilization Board and the expecta-
tion that a similar boost will be
granted hard coal diggers.
Another Increase Possible.
OPS officials said if the United
Mine Workers win the full $1.9O
per day raise they are demanding,
an additional ceiling price in
crease may be granted industry
to offset this new labor cost.
It was estimated any new in
crease, based on the $1.90 figure,
would be around Is cents per ton
for hard coal and 80 to AZ cents
for soft coal.
| A hearing here Monday between
Government. labor and industry
officials may determine whether
the iull increase is granted. If 1t
is not, a coal strike is considered
inevitable.
Lewis Expected to Report.
Mineworkers' chief, John L.
Lewis, and Harry Moses, president
of the Bituminous Coal Operators
Association. and possibly others
are scheduled to make an oral re-
port on why they think the full
increase should be granted.
A similar $1.90 per day increase
was negotiated for anthracite
workers, but no decision has been
returned by WSB.

More Rain Due Tonight;

The District was in for a pretty
good wetting" today, the Weather
Bureau reported.
From the time the rain began
at 3:44 am. until 1880 am. a third
of an inch had fallen-as much
as the bureau measured in last
Mondays precipitation.
Thunder accompanied the
downpour this morning. The rain
may continue tonight, and tomor-
row will be rather cloudy and
mild, the forecaster said. The
high temperature today was ex-
pected to be about 62 degrees, and
the low tonight about 50.
The prospect of coping with
showers or snow faced early
Christmas shoppers over most Of

above-normal precipitation, indi-
eating substantial relief from

the scene that the transport had
burned, but it was not clear
whether The plane caught fire be-
fore or after the crash.
It smashed into a "V"-shaped
junction of two mountain ridges

20 miles east of Seoul, is so rough
that helicopters cannot land.
The search party is bringing
the bodies out on foot. Hoverine

other supplies.
Clouds Possibly Responsible.
The plane was last heard from

pilot reported to the Seoul con-
troll tower he was coming in fol
"a routine landing.
Air Force spokesman said there
were scattered clouds at / 200 feet

ridges-and it was possible the
plane struck the side of a noun
