Lewis 10 Ask Higher
Fund Levies
I'm New UNIV Contract
By james Y. Newton
Sfor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

CINCINNATI, Oct. 9.-John l..
Lewis, who just won an increase
for his United Mine Workers
Welfare Fund, has served notice
on the coal operators today that
the contribution was only the
beginning.
Mr.. Lewis gave that blunt
warning at the convention of the
UNIV. The situation was a tense
one for John L. During a dis
cussion Of operation Of the We'll
fare Fund several score among
the 5000 delegates rose to protest
various aspects of the fund. Most
of the complaints were to the
effect that the benefits for medi-
cal care, disqualification. ETC.,
were too low and that machinery
for granting them was too slow.
Lewis Answered Queries.
Then Mr.. Lewis rose to his
feet and quieted the mine work
|ers with the following:
II think we want to retain our
sense of values on this subject
and keep our feet fairly well on
the ground. The Welfare Fund
admittedly has not achieved per-
fection. Why? Chiefly because
we have not had enough money
to achieve perfection. Why don't
We get more money? We are
working on that. We started in
doing this job a good deal like
the Dutchman cutting the dogs
ears off. Do you know how that
was? He cut them off a little bit
at a lime so it wouldn't hurt
MIR. Lewis was referring to the
fact that when he first established
in 1916 the principle of the Wei
fare Fund, the contribution of thu
mine owners to the fund was
cents per ton Of all coal pro-
duced.
The ecent contract signed with
the operators provided for an in.
crease in Welfare Fund royalty
of 10 cents, making the total op.
orator contribution 40 cents a ton
Expires Next October.
The new UNIV contract with
the operators, which has not beer
approved by the Federal Wage
Sterilization Board, will expire
next October l. So Mr.. Lewis was
serving blunt warning on the
coal producers that they will have
to kick in more to the miners
fund.
Mr.. Lewis combined a defense
OF his Welfare Fund with an at
tack on the big insurance COM
panies of the country. He said
that most Of them had asked to
administer the miners Welfare
Fund. and that the estimated cost
of the service was far in excess
Of what the fund could be han

this had cost the consumer about
a billion dollars.
Calling off adverse votes in the
Senate and House on price, wage
and rent controls, Mr.. Truman
asserted it took the Democrats tc
save what was left.
ITO say that the Republicans
are the party of low prices is like
saying that the shark is man:

Mr.. Truman also took Gen
Eisenhower to task for moaning
about taxes, insisting that the
candidate land his party know
perfectly we'll" that taxes are
caused by the defense program.
Scoffing at the G. o. P. prom
ises of budget and tax cuts, the
President said the general was
in favor of the defense program
when he went to Europe in 1856
as commander of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, and
that now he either wants to
build up our defenses rapidly
and that means taxes-or he
wants to reduce our security IN

Speaks Out for Symington.
Coming East late yesterday from
Shenandoah, Iowa. where he made
his farm speech, President Tru-
man campaigned several hours in
Missouri, and for the first time,
spoke out in favor of Stuart SYM
Iington, former RFC head, who is
Missouri's Democratic senatorial
nominee.
Mr.. Symington swamped Presi-
dent Truman's candidate, State
Attorney General j. E. (Buck)
Taylor, in the August primary, and
will contest against Senator KEN,
Republican, in November.

Chief Executive told about $500

"of course" will send Mr.. Syming-
ton to the Senate. Last night, at
Jefferson City, Mr.. Truman said
he thinks very highly" of his for
mer aide, and predicted he would
make a fine Senator. He also
plugged for Mr.. Symington in
Sedalia.
The President said in Jefferson
City that when Gen. Eisenhower
headed Columbia University in
1850, "he lent his prestige" to Re-
publican members of Congress
fighting legislation for Federal aid
to education, and helped beat the
bill.
The Republican platform this
year also opposes such legislation,
and Mr.. Truman said it is "fol-
lowing the lead of the Republican
candidate"
When Mr.. Truman's train
passed through Kansas City late
yesterday he and his daughter
Margaret drove out to Independ-
ence to register for the November
election in their home precinct.

AS a preface to his assertion
that the price question is one OF
the real issues" in this years
election, the President said in his
prepared Cleveland speech that
the current campaign is akin to
that 100 years ago when the
Wings nominated another gen.
eral, Gen. Winfield Scott, Ito get

Franklin Pierce, and then disinte-
grated.
II wonder if the same sort OF

man said.
The President reverted to his
customary line of attack on Gen
Eisenhower, who he said doesn't
know much-if anything-about
the real issues" and for the first
time. he questioned the value ot
the generals military service.
Reporting progress in the mill

years in eliminating waste and
improving efficiency, the Presiden,
said caustically. 1.-The Army has
improved a great deal in that re-

Says General Lacks Remedy.
At the outset, the President said
that the G. o. P. candidate has
moaned and groaned about high
prices in almost every speech he
has made" but has not proposed
a remedy because "the special in
terest lobbies who control" his
party oppose curbs.
1.-THE Democratic Party has been
working for price controls, to help
you balance your budget, and the
Republican Party has been kick
ing and bucking and punching
holes in them. and doing every
thing possible to weaken them"
the President said.
Going back to "the record" the
President said that after World
War II. with an inf1ationary sit
uatlon existing, the only thing
that held prices down was controls
Then came the elimination of
controls by the 80th Congress. he
SAID, and "the result was Just as

Battle for Farm Votes
Fought by Truman and
Taft in Same Town
BY the Assoeiated Press

SHENANDOAH. Iowa, Oct. O.
Top proxies for Presidential Can
didateS Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Adlai E. Stevenson have squared
off in a new fight for Midwest
farm votes.
The appeals for ballot box favor
from the rural folks were delivered
in quick succession yesterday by
President Truman and Senator
Taft.
It was the closest thing to an
out-and-out top-level debate on
agriculture since Gov. Stevenson
and Gen. Eisenhower appeared
the same day at Kasson. Mimi,
last month, to delineate their
farm views.
BlameS Depression on G. o. p.
While Senator Taft and Stenog-
raphers took notes from radio
broadcast, Mr.. Truman told about
10000 persons at the high school
athletic field here that farm pros
perity has been achieved despite
Republican obStructionism in the
Congress. He blamed what he
called the Hoover farm depres-
sion" on the Republicans and de-
scribed Gen. Eisenhower's farm
speeches as "a conglomeration of
generalities, platitudes, half truths
and plain Misrepresentation"
Mounting the same platform
for his rebuttal two hours later
before a crowd about equally
large. Senator Taft termed Mr.
Truman master Of the art of
demagogy." and belittled Demo-
cratic claims of credit for agri-
cultural prosperity
What benefits have accrued to
the farmer have resulted from in
creased production and productive
!ty, he said.
Because expenses and taxes
have gone up, and because the
dollar has lost value, met farm
income in terms of stable dollars
has declined from $4.8 billion, the
high point in 1947, to $3.6 billion
in 1851, new decrease of Is per
cent" Senator Taft declared.
General standards of living in
this country actually increased
faster over the past so years than
they have in the last 20 years,
since the start of the New Deal,
he said.
THE trouble with Mr.. Truman's
dollars. said Senator Taft, "is
that they are not real gold dollars.
AS fast as incomes goes up, the
prices the farmers have to pay
go up and there are plenty today
who are having a hard time to
make both ends meet"
BlameS Wars on Democrats.
Referring to the Hoover de-
pression." Senator Taft said that
If that worldwide catastrophe"
is blamed on ex-President Hoover,
a Republican, then the Demo-
Gratis are to blame for three wars.
including the Truman Korean
War;" which have occurred under
Democratic administrations.
Eight years of Democratic ad-
ministration failed to pull the
country out of the depression of
$780," he said. 1.-The only thing
that pulled us out of New Deal
depression was the war, and that
was a pretty high price for us to
pay"
Senator Taft moved from Shen-
andoah to Council Bluffs for a
speech last night at a rally of
party faithful at the Chieftain
Hotel ballroom.
He challenged party members
to get out the vote and asked
those who had been Taft hackers
before the G. o. P. National Con-
vention to do as much in the
Eisenhower campaign "as they
would have done for me-"
This is not an easy election"
he warned. But he said he thinks
the American people "are on our
side"

Truman got up and said if the
farmers want 15-cent wheat back

he said, just vote Republican and
you'll get your wish.

came Senator Taft. And he said

Iif war hadn't come along. Now
they're at it again. he said, with
the Truman Korea war;" That
got a big hand.
Even the Democrats had to ad-
nit that the crowd cottoned more
to Taft than to the President.
That's nothing to wonder at. Tru-
man carried Iowa in '48-but not

Democratic only once in this CEN

Mr.. Truman said Gen. Eisen-

Senator Taft just shook his
head and said he almost admired

Motion 10 Dismiss
False Report Case

Municipal Court Judge George
| D. Nelson today turned down a
move to dismiss charges Of making
a false report against Maynard H
(Snuffy) Smith, and set the trial
for September II.
Smith, a Congressional Medal
of Honor winner, is accused with
another man of setting up a false
suicide attempt July 81. to gain
publicity. The cod e + e n d a n t
whose motion to dismiss also was
rejected, is Roland M. Bennett, 26,
Iof 1888 New Hampshire avenue
NV.
Smith, Al, was credited with res
cuing a young mother from the
sixth floor ledge of the YWCA
Building at Seventeenth and K
streets NV. Later the woman
said it was all a hoax.
Earlier this week, defense at
torney Saul Lichtenberg argued
there was no evidence that either
Smith or Bennett had actually
made any report of the incident
to police themselves. and hence
should not have been charged
Assistant Corporation Counsel

had caused such a false report
and therefore were liable.
In his opinion today, Judge
Nelson declared:
"The whole object of defend
