NEW YORK CUPID - Any
United States coal mine owner
who can take time out from his
own mechanization and sales
research efforts might cast q
sympathetic eye at what similar
owners in the British Isles are
doing today.
In the past 16 years since the
end of World II. American
mine owners met the challenge
of rising use of fuel oils and
attendant shrinking of the
home heating and other mar
kets with a program of extern
sive mechanization and of ag-
gressive sales and research ac-
tivities.
At the request of some indus
try in Britain itself, they sought
to export coal. Some British
concerns were willing to inn
port United States coal of GER
tain grades, although the coal
industry in Britain was itself
deep in a campaign to keep
its mines working and its min
ers employed.
Go After Business
Earlier this year, the steel
company of Wales asked per-
mission to import US. coking
coal. After study, the British
Government rejected the re-
quest. More recently, at the
end of last month, the govern
ment again rejected a coal-im-
port request by a British firms,
turning down a cement COM
pany's petition for a license to
import Polish coal.

in recent weeks has given an

ton plan now was under way
in the coal industry and meant
that national coal price in
creases were unlikely. The
chairman, Lord Robens. said
the plan was intended to in
crease mechanization from 40
per cent to 80 per cent of total
production by 1865.
Use More Machines
BY the late 1905, he esti-
mated, Britain's heating and
energy requirements would be
the equivalent of 300 million
tons of coal, and the coal indus
try aimed at a two.thirds share
of this.
Last week, he told the Finan.
cial Times that the Board was
aiming toward a second phase
of its campaign to keep the
demand level for coal at a con-
slant 200 million tons, and was
discussing a program to dis
suade businessmen from switch
ing to oil and to win new GUS
toners among industrial con-
Germs.
The Times quoted Lord Ro-
bens as saying he wanted man.
ufacturers to start using new
units capable of burning cheap
and readily-available pulverized
fuels, which would be trans
ported cheaply and easily.
The dispatch noted that Lord
Robens "has a completely new
concept of selling coal he
argues that if prices are to be
kept down, If miners living
standards are to rise, and If
the industry is to be put on a
sound financial footing, then
more and more machines must
be used in the pits"

HAPPY 1862!
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Staff Writer

In the great Washington fraternity
of Government procurement officers, mem
bers yesterday were wishing each other an
odd greeting: Happy New Year"
The explanation is that for Uncle Sam,
fiscal 1861 has just been rung out; new
year began July l.
Though a wall of official denialS and
executive privilege" insulates the procure
ment officer from the public, it's evident
that some of them had a rugged June
getting their agency'S 1861 budget spent.
The psychology-admit universally
in WaShington-works this way; If you
end the year with surplus of money,
Congress says you asked for too much in
the first place and will cut you down the
next year.
The other hazard is that you might

overspend and bring the wrath of the Gen
eral Accounting Office on your head. The
idea is to come out just even the night of
June 30.
For the past two weeks this reporter
has tried to find the real story of how
heavy the June spending is, and what
happens when an agency official walks
into the procurement mans office the final
days of June and announces:
1--WE just saved So million. Where can
we spend it in hurry?"
Some executives flatly deny there's
rush of June spending.
Others admit it's a time of heavy
pressure to obligate those remaining funds,
but insist that recent laws avoid "the old
June bulge"
A few who are right on the firing line
declare flatly that it's frantic.

leader blasted the United States
for aiding Communist subver-
sion" in Africa through its sup
port of United Nations resolu-
tions against Portuguese re-
preston in Angola. He charged
the United States was weaken
ing its European allies by
counting African nationalism
in the struggle against Russia.
Officials here have reacted
with disappointment tinged
with realization that the di-
vergence with Portugal now is
entering a new and potentially
more dangerous stage.
The division in policy-making
circles is roughlySbetween those
who believe the American COM
mitment to the thrust of ma
tional freedom" in Asia and
Africa is paramount to our
world position, and those who
believe Portuguese detection
from NATO would have dis
astrouS consequences.
None at the policy-making
level wants to force Portugal
out of the alliance. The ques-
tion is rather what compro-
mises-if any-can be proper
ly made to keep her member

The impending crisis over
Soviet demands on Berlin is
believed to work heavily in
favor of those opposed to
rocking the boat" at this deli
cate juncture in world affairs.

Kennedy Plans
Uruguay Trip
By the Associated Press

President Kennedy was re-
ported yesterday planning to
attend the Inter American
Economic and Social Confer
ence in Uruguay August S un-
less official business prevents it.
Informed quarters said he
would like very much to attend
the conference and that he is
not concerned whether his 60
ing might induce Cuba's Fidel
Castro to go to the conference
also and try to use it as a
sounding board.
The assumption here is that
if the President goes Mrs. Ken
nedy will make the trip also.
Officials say she was a great
asset to the President on his
trip to Europe and would be
an equally great hit in Latin
America.

baby girl, shot by a man as
he fell dead of a bullet wound,

Doctors at the Medical Col

left leg of Elizabeth Gayle

She was struck by a blast
from a shotgun held by Ray

He had come to a cafe on
Route $50 looking for his es-
tranged wife, Lucille.
BrandiShes Shotgun
Earlier he had gone to her
home. There he found her
daughter by a former marriage
and the daughters baby.
He threatened to kill the
daughter, Mrs. George Brooks,
and the baby. He brandiShed
the shotgun, forced the daught-

police said.
Jones wife was at her faith

my daughter came running
in crying and said he had
threatened her and told her
he'd kill her if she called the

then called police.
Sheriff's deputies and State
police caught up with Jones
in front of Marlyn's Cafe.
Jones jumped from the car
and pointed the shotgun at
the baby.

ed in AlgierS, at nearby Blida
and in the suburb of Baraki.
The casualties included five
Moslems dead. and 40 persons
injured in Algiers. The 40

killed, and 80 others, including
two French police, were
wounded.
One person was killed and

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
July / (AP).-The United Ma.
tions Security Council today set
up an extraordinary Sunday
morning meeting to deal with
a complaint by Kuwait that
Iraq is threatening its inde-
pendence.
Kuwait cabled the complaint
here and Britain backed it up
after British forces landed in
the former British protectorate
to defend the sheikdom against
any Iraqi attack.
Iraq, which claims Kuwait
but has denied mobilizing on its
frontier, sought a hearing from
the Council with the presumed,
intention of asking that the
whole case be ignored.
Britain was understood to
want the meeting so it could
explain why it sent forces in.
Britain promised to get them
out as soon as Kuwait's ruler
felt his domain was safe.
Directed by Sheik
The Council president, Leo
.poldo Benites of Ecuador,
polled the other 10 members on
when they could get together
and then called a meeting for
.11:30 am. EDT tomorrow.
Minister of State Bader Alb
dulla Mulla of Kuwait sent Mr..
BeniteS a message this morning
on instructions from his ruler
-Sheik Sir Abdullah As-Salim
AS-Sabah.
He asked Mr.. BeniteS to call
a meeting so the Council might
consider urgently" a com
plant by Kuwait in respect of
the situation arising from
threats by Iraq to the territor-
ial independence of Kuwait."

situation as likely to endanger

Prospects Dim
For Settlement
Of Ship Strike
u. S. Mediutors
To Close Talks
At Noon Today

NEW YORK, July / lAP).-
Prospects of ending the mari
time strike without a Taft
Hartley injunction suddenly
darkened today. The Presi-
dents fact-finding board said
the likelihood wasn't good.
Board Chairman David L.
Cole said all mediation efforts
in the two-week walkout of
$4,000 officers and crewmen
would end at noon tomorrow
The board then will start
preparing its report which will
be submitted to President Ken
nedy Monday and probably will
lead to an injunction to halt
the strike for an 80-day cool
ing-off period.
"The likelihood-prospects-
are not good that we will have
reached an agreement between
all the unions and employer
groups by noon Sunday-which
means the ships don't SAIL" Mr.,
Cole said.
Talks Continue
Until then, however, the
talks will continue, and if nee
essary throughout tonight, he
told newsmen.
The board chairman said the
negotiations had been making
great progress" in a number of
directions, but he noted that
one union or employer group
could prevent a complete set
tlement.
The fact-finding board came
here to gather data on whether
the strikes effects were serious
enough to warrant the Presi-
dent seeking an injunction un-
der the Taft-Hartley Law.
It succeeded in getting nego-
tiations underway again after
a weeks lapse, however, and
most of its efforts have been
directed toward ending the
strike without an Injunction.
A breakthrough developed
Friday when the 81, 7,000-member
National Maritime Union -
largest of the five striking
unionS-reached tentative ac-
cord with the ship owners.
Pact Conditional
The pact, granting a 81 per
cent raise in wages and fringe
benefits spread over a four
year period, was conditional on
the signing of an agreement
by the MINUS two companion
unions - the Masters, Mates
and Pilots and the American
Radio Association.
Mr.. Cole said the boards
report to Mr.. Kennedy will
consist of two parts. One will
deal with how the strike has
affected the national economy
and welfare. The other will
report on the boards media
ton efforts.
1--WE will definitely cut off
all mediations efforts as OF
noon Sunday" Cole said.
The boards report is to be
submitted to the President at
8 am. Monday. The deadline
previously was yesterday, but
when the talks became en-
couraging it was extended to
Monday.
The major stumbling block
in the negotiations has been
the demand by the unions for
the right to organize Ameri-
can-owned vessels operating
under foreign flags.
In the agreement reached by
the NMU, however, the uniol
agreed to shelve this for the
time being.
In addition to the NMU and
its two companion unions, the
Seafarers International Union
and the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association also are
on strike.

FIN spokesman. "The number
of Algerian victims exceeds by
far the cynical official totals
published by the French ad-
ministration."
The FIN spokesman called
for a massive demonstration
on Wednesday, July S, against
partition. July 5 is the ami
versary of the French occupa-
ton of Algiers in 1880.
Word of mouth orders and
tracts from the FIN circulated
last night, calling for a general
strike by the Moslems.
The strike, generally fol-
lowed in Algiers, tied up many
of the big blue and white
trolley buses, paralyzed the
sprawling port and closed Mos
lem shops in the teeming cas-
bah and in Moslem quarters
on the edge of the city.
Egged On by Women
Bands of Moslems, several
hundred strong, began stream
ing through the streets at
mid-morning, defiantly waving
green and white rebel flags
and shouting nationalist slo-
gans.
Most of the MoslemS were
teen-age youths. They were
egged on by veiled Moslem
women who sent up their ira
ditional piercing war cry-"yu-
yu-yu."
AS the demonstrators moved
toward outlying European
areas of the city, helmeted SOL
diers and police cut them off.

A DISTRICT Government de-
cision affecting a Redevelop-

a major wrecking job has
spanked angry complaints of
political pressure and touched
off an investigation.
Representatives of the areas
largest wrecking companies
have told District and RIA Of

decision was to discriminate
against them and insure that
one company will make a fat
profit.
The issue involved is the .

tible materials from the $40
buildings it has contracted to
raze in Northeast Urban Re-

A bitter attack on the United
States by Portuguese Premier
Salazar last week is forcing the
Kennedy administration to a
decision on just how far it is
willing to go in support of Afri-
can nationalism in Angola.
The question has gained ur-
gency because American Off
cials now feel that Portugal
may threaten to withdraw from
NATO over American med
ding" in her Strife-ridden
African empire.
For the past four months the
northern provinces of Angola,
adjacent to the Congo, have
been swept by violence. It is
increasing in both intensity and
scope. Although reports are i'm
possible to check because of a
news blackout, it has been esti-
mated that 10000 natives and
1000 white settlers have been
killed and countless thousands
manned.
