Deliberate Action Seen
q
BYLeWis in Staggering
Dates 10. End Contracts
BY the Assoeioted Press

Indications developed yesterday
that John L. Lewis is deliberately
staggering the expiration dates Of
his coal contractS-dates that may
mean the beginning of widespread
strikes.
Mr.. Lewis has told the pro-
ducers of most of the nations
soft coal. and all hard coal pro-
ducerS, that present contracts with
his United Mine Workers will end
late next month.
Most Of the soft coal producers
who have been notified are divided
Into two large bargaing groups
the Bituminous Coal Operators
Association, headed by Harry M.
Moses, and the Southern Coal
Producers Association, headed by
Joseph E.. Moody.
Present contracts can be ended
only after 60 days notification.
Mr.. Lewis notified Mr.. Moses on
July % that the contracts would
expire. He gave similar word to
Mr.. Moody August l, the same
day he sent his termination notice
to the anthracite industry.
What He Could Do.
That means Mr.. Lewis could
take his miners out of the north
ern bituminous fields on Septem-
ber 21 and stop production in the
southern soft coal fields and the
anthracite mines September 80.
The Moses and Moody groups to-
gether represent annual produc-
ton Of $40 million tons.
Another substantial amount of
soft coal is produced by operators
who belong to neither the Moses
or the Moody Association. A num-
ber Of these independent opera
tions, it was learned yesterday,
have not yet received any notice
OF contract termination.
One possible reason for such
staggering of contract termination
dates is that Mr.. Lewis wants to
take the edge off any new attempt
in Congress to ban industry wide
bargaining.
Such ban just missed becom-
ing part of the Taft-Hartley labor
Law. of which Mr.. Lewis is one
OF the sternest foes. And there
has been sentiment more recently
for legislation aimed at outlawing
strikes which could close down an
entire basic industry such as steel
and coal.
Speaks for 475,OOO.
AS President of the United Mine
Workers, Mr.. Lewis bargains for
some 475.000 hard and, soft coal
miners. And Mr.. Moses and Mr..
Moody personally bargain for all
members of their associations.
BY fixing different dates for his
contracts to end. Mr.. Lewis might
be able to argue that he is not
bargaining with the coal producers
on an industry wide basis but
rather is dealing separately with
individual segments of the in
dustry.
Meanwhile, the unions welfare
and retirement fund announced Al
coal mine deaths in the past
month. The announcement came
as 475,000 soft and hard coal
miners started To-day Memoir
al" holiday. marking the deaths
Of thousands of diggers in coal
mine disasters and accidents.
The memorial period will shut
down IS per cent or more of the
Nations coal mines all of this
week. The other Is per cent are
worked by miners not in Mr..
Lewis union. The production loss
of around 10 million tons will re-
duce near-record stockpileS of coal
above ground.

several repeatedly slated for pub
lie hearings by the House inves-
tigators this week.
Subcommittee Chairman Chelf
already has indicated there will
be these two other phases to the
hearings:
/. An inquiry into whether
present and former Justice De-
'partment lawyers have been guilty
Iof unethical or illegal conduct in
cases they have handled as pri-
vate attorneys. Witnesses are ex-
|pected to include James A. Null
lally, veteran Criminal Division
lawyer who resigned last week
after he was suspended pending
an inquiry of his outside activi-
ties:" Peyton Ford. former Dep
uty Attorney General, and Herbert
A. Bergson, a former Assistant At
torney General. Mr.. Ford and Mr..
Bergson are now law partners.
2. A study Of the Justice De-
Ipartment's handling of q fraud
case marked CLOSED" without
action after hanging fire for
seven years.
Interested in Justice Role.
Subcommittee officials refused
to comment on reports Of the st.
Louis grand jury inquiry. It was
learned, however, that their main
interest is in what part. if any. top
Justice Department officials played
in the grand jury's progress.
Judge Moore ordered the st.
Louis tax inquiry in March, 1851,
after he repeatedly asked for help
from the Justice Department.
Within three weeks. the jury re-
turned a partial report. repeatedly
stating it could find no evidence
Of tax-fixing.
During that time. it was under
stood. the Justice Department had
dispatched Ellis N. Slack, q top
Tax Division official, to st. Louis.
Mr.. Slack has been acting as chief
Of the Tax Division since the
custer Of Assistant Attorney Cen
eral T. Lamar Caudle last Novem-
ber.
Demanded Further Probe.
In April, 1851, according to st.
Louis newspaper reports. Judge
Moore issued a scathing charge
to the grand jury, and demanded
further investigation. It's extensive
investigation subsequently result
ed in number of indictments.
Last October II. published stor-
les quoted Judge Moore as saying
Justice Department channels for
authorizing the inquiry had been
l"damned up and blocked up."
Mr.. McGrath at first denied the
statements as "damnable and con-
temptible lies" He said he did
not recall having talked to Judge
Moore about the inquiry. Later,
the department said an office
memo showed such a telephone
conversation had taken place the
previous February. The Attorney
General called Judge Moore to
offer his apologies" the depart
ment said.
Little Restriction on Activities.
Meanwhile, it was not clear how
extensively the subcommittee
lplanned to go into the subject
|of a code of ethics to regulate
the private activities of past and
Ipresent Justice Department law
lyers. AZ
Actually there are few laws
on the statute books-and fewer
regulations-which act to restrict
the private activities Of lawyers

Two laws apply to private activ.
tiles of lawyers while they are with
the Government. One prohibits
them from getting compensation

Truman Orders Probe
In Pipe Plant Strike

President Truman moved today
to invoke a Taft-Hartley Act in
junction against striking steel
workers of the American Locomo-
tive Co. plant at Dunkirk, N. Y.
which produces pipe for atomic
installations.
The President, by executive Or
der, set up a board of inquiry on
the ground that the strike, if per-
mitted to continue, will imperil
the national safety"
Under the Laobr Act procedure
the board will investigate and re-
port, and the President then will
be free to ask the Justice Depart
ment to obtain an 80-day injunc-
ton against the strikers.
The board cannot make recon-
mendations in the strike which
started several weeks ago at three
New York State plants of the

Have Tailored Look
With Casual Spread

For the inexperienced SeamstresS.
II may seem like quite a bit OF q
Job TO make a boxy cover for the
couch. There are several other kinds
OF covers which will give the tailored
look. and be easier TO construct.
One OF the most popular is the
simply gathered flounce which is
attached to a piece OF muslin or old
but durable sheeting to fit over the
box spring Of the bed or couch. The
top may be covered with a simple
spread, just thrown over. or per-
hapS a quilted spread which you
may already have.
In measuring for gathered
tlounce you will need two to two and
one-half times as much as the
measurement around the bed. AS
for the length. measure from the top
OF the box spring to the floor. and u
inch seam allowance at the top
where it's attached to the sheet,
and then IA to 2 inches for the fin
ishing hem.
In cases where you have q head.
board or something like book aseS
10 serve as a headboard. the flounce
need then go only around the three
sides OF the bed.
Flounce material may be made
OF the same fabric as your draper
les. Then the top spread can take
Its color cue from one OF the colorS
predominant in the tlounce. This
idea. Of course. can be carried out
in the reverse. too: have the spread
made Of the same as the drapery
material, and the nounce In a con-
trastIng shads.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1952-05-09

For seams, allow two inches ex.
ira, and for hens allow one inch
or a little over.
II desired, an old sheet may be
used TO make a cover TO be used
for fitting purposes. and then as a
guide for sewing the finished cover.
II you want pleats at the corners. or
pleating all the way around, these
can be best estimated II you make

the couch, attached to the top should

inches. To this piece Is attached the

ing can be used In the seams to
give the cover a professional look.
II the couch has cushions, these
may be covered with boxy covers
TO match the couch. or. you might
prefer holsters or just soft cushiony
pillows. In some cases, it's nice to
have a single bolster and several
small throw pillows.

Use nat-fen seams TO sew the
panels together. Turn up a two inch
hem around the sides and bottom
and hem as you would a dress. The
finish at the top edge should be q
hem Winch wide.
When the material you're using Is
too heavy to turn for a regular hem,
you might use bias binding or rayon
tape for the finishing. It's easy to
handle and will give you a good fin
ishing edge.
Should you want the tailored
spread to be just little more elab-
crate, floral designs can be Rp-
puqued to the center panel. Mono
grams are also effective decoration,
specially In good contrasting colors,
Strips Of lace can be inserted be-
tween the panels, when desired,
basting the lace "a inch from the
edge Of the panels on the right side
Of the spread.

putting on the slip cover II the couch
is used regularly as a bed.
Tailored Bedspread
Needs Few Pieces

There are many tailored bed
spreads made only Of three pieces.
the center panel which covers the
top Of the bed, and then the two side
pieces attached 10 the center one.
In other tailored bedspreads, the
pieces number five. In addition TO
the three used above, there are set
In panels attached to the center
piece. and these in turn are used
for attaching the side panels.
All Of this suggests ease Of both
cutting and sewing. For the average
twin bed you'l need six yards Of
39-inch material, cut into five 3-yard
long strips. The center panel should
be 80 inches wide. the set-in panels,
7 inches wide and the two side
panels, II inches wide.
For the average double bed, you'll
have TO have yards Of 48-inch ma
terial. cut into five 3-yard strips.
The center panel should be 40 inches
wide. the two set-in panels 8 inches
wide and the two side panels II
inches wide.

a muslin which goes over the top
OF the box springs. Then have a

Tailored Bed Coverings Ideal
For Bedrooms or Living Rooms

no YOU HAVE sons or daughters
- who like tailored bedrooms7 or
do you yourself like them, since the
man OF the house does not share
your appreciation for rufflcd and
tilmy materials?
Perhaps you have a couch in the
living room that doubles for a bed
most OF the time. Tailored covers
are the answer for this, also.
Maybe you have a den or a spare
bedroom that has a bed or couch
What's the best way to cover IT,
The most usable decor for the room
Is tailored. II may then be offered
to a man or woman as a guest, and
still be in good taste.
Good tailored covers are easy to
sew at home because they are not
as bulky and as big as the nounced
and ruffIed covers which seem TO
fill the room with their yardage be-
fore they're put together. A spread
which is tailored Is one Of the sim
plest Of articles 10 sew because there
is nothing at all complicated in the
seams.
Tailored slip covers for a couch
are not really much more difficult
than the plain spread because your
main problem. that Of fitting, Is
simplified by your having the couch
right there for a model and for
fitting purposes. Basting. for exam
pie, can be done right on the couch.
and the sewing is all straight seams,
and no fancy stitching.
For slip covers, plan to use zip
pers TO save time sewing many
fasteners. To save time in making
the cover, use pleats OF the inverted
type at all four corners, in place OF
pleating all around the bottom Of
the couch This will also save time
