Mine Owners Feud
Sharpens as Date
For Contract Nears
By james Y. Newton

The two big associations OF
soft coal operators were in the
middle of a major feud today.
1t all started when Joseph E.
Moody. president of the Southern
Coal Producers Association, ac-
cused the steel companies and
the Bituminous Coal Operators
Association of something of a
sellout of the industry in grant
ing fat pay increases to John L.
Lewis United Mine Workers in
past years.
Mr.. Moody said the coal in
duStry was fast going broke and
needed relief from high opera
ting costs. He said another
UNIV wage demand which Mr..
Lewis may make soon would
either force many commercial
operators. those who sell their
coal prices since they used all of
down or go non-union
Charges Steel Domination.
The Southern president said
the Bituminous Association was
dominated by steel-owned cap
tive" interests who dictated. the
high terms Of the last two wage
contracts to the commercial OPP
orators. He said the steel COM
panies were not concerned with
coal prices since they used all of
their output at the steel mills.
This led to a hot reply from
Harry M. Moses, president of
the Bituminous Association.
Who made Moody sign these
contracts from which he now
wants some one to extricate
him?" asked Mr.. Moses.
His loose and unfounded as
SertionS that the steel industry
dominate our Association is a
frantic search for a whipping
boy and an unrealistic approach
to the industry's problems. This
constitutes rejection of our re-
peated offers of north-south
cooperation.
Lewis Seen Enjoying Feud.
MI. Moses claims to represent
1874 million tons of a total ma
tional output of 465 million of
soft coal. Mr.. Moody claims 100
million. Mr.. Moses says the steel
companies own less than a third
of his tonnage. He says about
half of the output of his aSsocia-
ton is south of the Mason
Dixon Line"
AS for the steel companies not
being concerned with prices, Mr..
Moses adds that the companies
buy about half of their con-
sumption.
The Office of Mr.. Lewis, who
is vacationing in the West, indi-
Gated he was enjoying the feud
but said he had no comment.
Mr.. Lewis will be free to demand
higher wages for his miners

ander Smith of New Jersey and
Hickenlooper of Iowa-who came
in from the Foreign Relations
Committee to support the plea
for adequate funds for the over
seas information programs.
Will Raise Many Questions.
Senator Mccarthy indicated he
had a great many questions to
raise later with subordinate of
flcials who will testify on details
of the program.
Gen. Smith did not reveal the
names of the men Gen. Eisen-
hover is considering to head the
International Information Ad-
ministration, whose retiring
chief. DR.. Robert L. johnson, has
clashed recently with Senator
Mccarthy. Gen. Smith pointed
out that on August /, it will be-
come an independent agency un-
der a pending reorganization
order. He pleaded with the COM
mittee not to hamper the new
director with percentage per-
sonnet cuts as the House did.
Senator Mccarthy also told
Gen. Smith there has been a lot
of talk about book burning. ;"
He wanted to know what the
undersecretary's definition of
that would be.
Gen. Smith replied that since
any books removed from the
overseas Libraries are United
States property, II would give
two cents for them as old paper,
if I could" He explained that,
as an old Army man, he would
feel that destroying Government
property would be a court-mar-
tial offense.
Sums Up Testimony.
When Senator Mccarthy
sought to sum up Gen. Smiths
testimony, he did it in this way:
"You are representing the Sec
rotary of State and assuring the
committee that no matter who
is the new director, that no Com
munist books will be purchased,
except in the rare case you de-
scribed, and Number 2, that the
works of Communist authors will
be removed.
II can say categorically." Gen.

President Eisenhower, who
wants $88 million to run the in
formation program, has let it be
known he is highly disturbed
over a 80 per cent cut by the
House.
His spokesman at today's COM
mittee session also included
Budget Director Joseph M.
Dodge.
1t has not been customary for
Mr.. Dodge to go before con-
gressional committees to ask for
budget funds. His selection,
along with Gen. Smith, under
scored Gen. Eisenhower'S re-
ported concern that the whole
program would be damaged seri-
ously were the House reduction
to stand. The House cut about
$28 million from the $88 million
requested by the President.

Democrats Accuse COPS
Spreading Confusion On
Danger of Atomic Attack

WASHINGTON, Up - Several
Democratic senators said. Thurs
day confusion is being spread by
Eisenhower administration spokes-
men on the danger Of an atomic
or hydrogen bomb attack by the
Russians.
''It is high time that the Ma
tional Security Council or the
President himself made plain
statement of the facts as they are
known in this matter of life and
DEATH" said Senator Kefauver.
The New York Times said to-
day that Eisenhower "has decided
to put stop to loose official talk
about the Soviet Unions possible
hydrogen bomb and related sub
jects"
A Washington dispatch to the
Times by James Reston said the
President was annoyed by what
one leader called "atomic blabber-
mouths within the governmental
family.
Eisenhower, Reston wrote, has
passed the word that he wants all
official statements on this subject
to conform to the decisions of the
National Security Council or to
be cleared at the White House.

GETTING MORE FOR LESS
Seattle Post-Intelligencer,

The following is not plug for the sale Of cigarets,
but rather lesson in taxes. Cigarets involved be-
this story is about Canadas experience with
taxes on them, as reported in the Wall ST. Journal
It is simple story to the effect that you can
reach the point Of diminishing returns in taxes in
anything else When, in April 1851, Canada liked the
cigare tax cents pack and also added per cent
sales tax, sales dropped cigarets smugged
in from the US, and Canadian revenues from this
source slipped $4,6O0,000.
So year later Canada cut the taxes cents-and
increased government revenues $9400,O00 Then last
February, Canada cut another cents off the tax.
Manufacturers at the time cut cents from
the price.
Smuggling all but stopped Sales zoomed If this
trend continues, the paper loss Of from the
new reduction will be turned into a gain for the
government.
Canada has been very smart with its finances, in
deed Much smarter than have been in this country
The Eisenhower administrations promised tax re-
lief for Americans, scheduled to begin January in
the income levies and to be extended, we hope to
excise taxes, need not be accompanied by loss Of
treasury revenue and actually result in increase

Truman Says Republican
Administration
Wants To ''Stand StilP'

ST. LOUNS, Up The ''Old guard
of reactionaries" have gained
new strength and "want to
return to the days of Mckinley"
former President Harry S. Tru-
man said last night.
But he said he worried even
more about those in the Eisen-
hover administration who want
to stand still"
'The greatest danger springs
from the attitude of those who
reluctantly, and 20 years late, &C
cept the reforms we have made,
and then refuse to 60 forward to
meet the new problems we face"
Truman said.
Truman, expressing concern
over the Republican administra-
TONS policies toward counterfeit
ing depression, was critical of
the use of the Employment Act
Of 1876. requiring the govern
rcent to develop specific plans
for economic expansion.
"The present administration has
approached its responsibilities
under thai act in a very gingerly
and timid fashion, 'he said. 'FWhat

WILLING TOOLS
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)


The spectacle Of % Americans riding into the
mouthing Communist propaganda was not pretty
one, and it makes all Of little mad and
than little sad
1t is to be doubted if the Communists are finding
any great satisfaction in converting that many Aner-
to their philosophy, temporarily the
may prove to be with some if not most of them.
Out of the thousands of Americans captured by
the Reds in Korea the conversion of % befuddled
is skinny grist to the credit Of their propaganda
mill.
But to Americans, the thought of any number of
people, however small being willing tools of our
enemies is repugnant.
1t is inconceivable that any Americans could be
ignorant about blind to reality in America that
they could sincerely call land in which those who
speak out for peace and freedom are rapidly being
senced"
If these poor fools don't know better than that
their Communist masters most certainly do.
Nowhere in the world is the advocacy of peace
and freedom freely and safely made than in
America
Never in all history has there been greater men
ace to peace and freedom than Communism raises
We do not know what manner Of persuasion the
Communists used to confuse the minds Of % Ameri-
about these facts but suspect it was the con-
diton of the minds they worked with rather than the
weight of their arguments that brought success.
