German Miners
Cancel Strike

BOCHUM, Germany, June 80
(AP). - West German miners
have registered a weak 80 per
cent Endorsement of a wage
increase agreement, but it was
enough to call off a threatened
strike in the Ruhr and Aachen
coal districts.
The miners union announced
today the result of voting
yesterday on whether to accept
a wage agreement providing,
roughly, an 8 per cent pay in
crease.
OF the 276,454 union mem
bers eligible to vote, 30.16 per
cent voted in favor of the
agreement and 35.16 voted
against it. A small percentage
of votes were disqualified and
the remainder did not vote.
Under union rules, a Is per
cent acceptance of the agree
ment is sufficient to cancel the
strike vote taken on June IA.
Had the strike occurred, it
would have idled some 400, 900
workers in the Ruhr and
Aachen districts in the biggest
labor walkout in Germany
since 1928.

House Committee
Approves Farm
Compromise

The House Agriculture Com
mittee has approved a COM
promise farm bill termed by
some as second best to the
tightly controlled administra-
ton program rejected last week
by the House.
The substitute, adopted 81
to II yesterday by the COM
mittee, would extend for a year
the present emergency wheat
and feed grain programs with
slight modification. The basic
change would mean some re-
duction in payments farmers
would get for cutting back pro-
duction.
If the measure is approved
by the House, it could run into
trouble in the Senate. When
introduced in the House, Sena-
tor Ellender, Democrat of Lou
iSiana, chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, COM
mented: IT wouldn't waste a
minute on it."

Cuban Reserve
The compromise allots 1854

But the administration is per-
mitted to use this ALLEGATION

The reserve is considered an

quotas other than the Cuban

Marvin w. Makinen, the only
American known to be still
confined in a Soviet prison,
has not been forgotten back
home.
A State Department spokes-
man said the department was
trying to make arrangements
to see him again and the Max
inen family attorney indicated
there might be developments
in the case in the not distant
future"
Hopes for prompt release OF
the 22-year-old Fulbright schol-
ar serving eight years on SPY
charges were raised last Feb.
ruary when Attorney james
Britt Donovan returned from
his mission to exchange Col
Rudolph Abel, the Soviet spy
for Francis Gary Powers, the
American w. pilot.
At that time, Mr.. Donovan
said he believed he had Soviet
assurances that if the better
relations contemplated by this
exchange should develop, the
Soviet Union would contem-
plate extending clemency to
Makinen."
Family Plea Reported
Nothing immediate happened
but the Makinen family re-
portedly has filed a formal
petition for executive clemency.
The family attorney, Oliver
Allen of Boston. said that be-
cause of the extreme delicacy"
of the case he would not con-
firm the report. He indicated,
however, that there might be
a marked change" in the sit
uation soon.
The State Department spokes-
man said United States
Embassy officials have been
allowed to visit young Makinen
twice-on September 8, 1861,
and on January Is, 1862. On
the January visit, Mr.. Makinen
repeatedly told American Of
ficials he was preparing a pc
tition for clemency to be sub
mitted eventually to Soviet
authorities. .
Soon after the Abel-Powers
exchange, Mr.. Makinen'S par
ents in Ashburnham, Mass,
said they were advised by the
State Department to send a
clemency plea as soon as pos
sible.
The State Department Of

another visit to Mr.. Makinen
was not only to find out how
he is faring but also to discuss
the question of Mr.. Makinen
