create a system of federal labor relations courts with jurisdiction over "a large majority" of labor-management disputes The courts would have the right to issue injunctions in labor cases a course now forbidden by the Norris-LaGuardia act in disputes involving private industry They would have jurisdiction to Interpret collective bargaining contracts and to review actions of the administrators of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) act the Fair Labor Standards (Wage-Hour) act and the Railway Labor act Ferguson told the Senate "we are in a state of near-anarchy" when it comes to industrial disputes and the time has come to subject them to "the legal discipline of a civilized society" Smith declared the bill would cover "at least three-fourths" of such cases and could lead to "the ultimate settlement of all labor-management disputes on the basic of what is right and just" The Smith-Ferguson proposal was offered in the Senate only a few hours after Rep Landis (Rind) told reporters there is a 50-50 chance the House Labor Committee may kuggest revision of the Thompson Is Held Georgia Governor Th 0 in Geolo i High Tribunal Rules v- Ailing i Talmadge Russia Rejects Hick

of congressional debate over President Truman's $400000000 proposal to help Greece and Turkey resist Communist aggression Sen Smith (R-NJ) served notice that he wants the administration to explain how it justifies a proposal to train and arm Greek troops in view of the United Nations Charter declaration against war and for peaceful settlement of world disputes Smith gave that as a written question to Sen Vandenberg (R-Mich) chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who is compiling a list of questions senators want the State Department to answer before they vote on Mr Truman's proposal In his message asking the Greek-Turkish aid Mr Truman said the United Nations could not act with enough speed But some legislators are voicing concern that if the United States acts alone it may mark the end of hopes that the United Nations can be an effective peace-maintaining organization Signs on Capitol Hill today were that any cut made in income taxes probably wont become effective until July 1 ellep Knutson (R-Minn) chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and author of a bill for a flat 20-per-cent tax reduction said a study is under way to determine if the July date should be specified His original plan was to make the cut retroactive to last Jan 1 The committee already is considering revising Knutson's bill in order to give smaller taxpayers a bigger percentage reduction than those with large incomes The group is to decide on a bill Friday after which House Republicans will meet and test partyH sentiment Under present plans the House will consider the measure next

conditionally today to the goy- ernment and called off the United Mine Workers intenlion to strike on April 1 in the nation's soft- coal fields The UMW chieftain sent a terse 20-word letter to Secretary of Interior A Krug unconditionally withdrawing his notice of Nov 15 1946 which sought to terminate the Krug-Lewis agree ment for government operation of the soft-coal mines This withdrawal was one of the terms laid down by the-U Supreme Court in upholding the contempt-of-court convictions against Lewis and the mine workers union Lewis' action apparently insured peace in the soft-coal field until June 30 at least when the government relinquishes its operation of the mines Lewis and the union now must pay the $710000 fine assessed by the Supreme Court The fine was reduced by the high court front the $3510000 levied by the lower federal court on condition that Lewis comply with its instructions to call off the strike In a 20-word letter to Secretary of Interior A Krug Lewis said: "The notice of Nov 15 1946 ter minating the Krug-Lewis agreement as of Nov 20 1946 is hereby unconditionally withdrawn" At the same time Lewis sent a copy of the notice to all members of his AFL Mine Workers Union In the letter he withdrew his advice given to members on Dec 7 that they would continue work un- til March 31 "The instructions of Dec 7 1946 to members of the UMWA to continue production of bituminous coal until March 31 1947 is hereby unconditionally withdrawn and all the members of the UMWA are hereby instructed that said Krug Lewis agreement is in full force and effect until final determine tion of the basic issues arising under the agreement" Lewis told the 400000 union members "These actions have been taken In full conformance with orders of the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia as affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 6 1947: 'The foregoing is for your of fiefs' information" The letter was signed in the scrawl of "John Lewis President" Lewis therefore bowed as ex pected to the decision of the Supreme Court without asking for reconsideration of its decision The Supreme Court was scheduled to issue its mandate Thursday requiring Lewis to call off his strike notice by March 25 The action signaled complete surrender of the mine union leader to the government without exhausting further legal steps

the problems of an ever-shifting international scene With the Moscow government still officially silent on his call for American financial and economic support of Greece and Turkey in their resistance to communism the President will fly back to the White House to look over developments at first hand His special plane commonly referred to as The Sacred Cow" is due to leave the Boca Chica Airport five miles from here at 1 in (CST) putting him in Washington about four and a half hours later Feeling tired and under instructions from his physician to take a brief rest Mr Truman flew here from Washington Wednesday immediately after asking Congress meeting in a joint session to authorize spending up to 1100000000 to aid Greece and Turkey to stem the onward march of communism The President's message drew sharp criticism from Izvestia which usually voices the views of the Soviet government There was no comment from the President on Tuesday's demand by Sen Tdyings for an immediate disarmament conference WASHINGTON March 19 President Truman today asked Congress to extend the government's controls over exports for a year beyond their present expiration date June 30 He said in a message requesting speedy action that an uncontrolled outflow of foodstuffs and goods would heighten domestic shortages and increase the "already substantial burden of living costs borne by the American people" About 500 remain under export control compared with some 3000 at the wartime peak he said adding: "I look forward to the day when the United States and other countries can remove these interferences to the free flow of commodities in world trade "But the danger of immediate and complete decontrol in the face of continuing domestic and world scarcities is too great for this nation to undertake at this time" Delay by Congress would "prove unsettling to business and would handicap the planning and execution of our food and other export programs" Mr Truman said in asking the Senate and House to ar4 "well in advance" of the midyeat deadline The message was sent to Capitol Hill by the White House in Mr Truman's absence on a vacation in Florida LOUISVILLE March 19 Two Louisville plants were closed today by work stoppages involving approximately 600 persons Between 400 and 500 employees of Consider Willett Inc furniture manufacturers failed to report for work The men milled around the plant awhile but officials of the AFL-Carpenters Union declined to call the work stoppage a strike The workers said they remained Idle because the company "failed to offer hardly anything in a new contract under negotiation with the union Company officials declined to comment AU AFL distillery workers went on strike at Yellowstone Inc closing the bottling plant There was no picket line A company spokesman estimated 125 to 150 men were involved in the strike which be said resulted from failure of negotiations on a new contract Officials of the Lexington Building Trades Council (AFL) said today that they expected striking workers at the Kentucky Utilities Company's Tyrone power plant project in Woodford county to be back at work by early Thursday morning Members of the local group left here at 930 a today to confer at the project with Smith Chicago resident superintendent of the Bates and Rogers Construction Corporation Labor officials said that all the striking crafts had returned for work today at the usual morning hour but that Mr Smith had delayed resuming work to ask for a conference today "to iron out the difficulties" Roy Dones business agent of Local No 70 Ironworkers Union one of the striking crafts said definitely "the strike will be settled today and work will resume tomorrow" Asked if he thought Smith would withdraw the charges of breach of the peace filed Tuesday against Al Myrick project steward after an argument between the two men had precipitated the strike Dories said: "We don't know definitely but we hope that he will and that this whole thing will straighten out" Members of the Operating Engineers Union walked off the job early Tuesday after Smith and Myrick had argued over 'substituting mechanics for equipment operators The building trades council immediately placed a "banner" over the project and allied AFL crafts walked off the job a short time later Roy Dones business agent of the Ironworkers' Union Local No 70 said shortly after noon today that the conference scheduled for 10 a in had been postponed until 2 but that he was confident the strike "would be settled-9 by I 1 A i 1 1 1 worked furiously to save

(Page 15 Column 5 Please) WASHINGTON March 19 The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted today for expenditure of 9350000000 for relief in five European countries and China While it was acting a House Appropriations subcommittee discussed with former President Herbert Hoover and Secretary of War Patterson the need for the relief The Appropriations Committee must handle legislation making the actual appropriation The bill approved by the Foreign Affairs group simply lays down the policy and establishes conditions under which the reltpf money may be spent Chairman Eaton (R-NJ) refused to disclose the Foreign Affairs Committees vote or the text of the bill It will be reported to the House Thursday But Rep Vorys (R-Ohio) a committee member said the measure Is a "compromise" and is designed to limit relief to countries where "we are sure that the relief will be fairly distributed" "I believe" he said in a statement "the State Department will make a great mistake if they continue to preserve secrecy on their estimates of the relative relief needs of the countries involved" Full-Scale War Faces Paraguay Henry Beaumont Estate House Probe Termed Unfair 1 Brief Illness Fatal To Mrs Edward

Higinio Morinigo mustered its strength for a showdown with rebels holding large areas in Northern Paraguay The government decreed Tuesday night that the revolt-torn country was in a state of war and Col Frederico Smith 45 one of Paraguay's heroes of the Chaco war against Bolivia emerged front retirement to resume command of government forces The decree declaring that a state of war existed said it was issued in accordance with "international agreements signed by this country for defense of the continent against subversive movements of a totalis tarian character" The government repeatedly has contended that the rebellion which had its roots in the city of Concepcion last week was Communist-directed and the decree itself charged that Communists in near-by Bolivia and Uruguay had offered aid to the rebels The decree gives President Morinigoli military forces power to draft men property and money for the fight against the rebels and to suspend any laws The Morinigo regime has the same power it would have if Paraguay actually were at war with a foreign power Local Option Election In Bracken May 17 BROOKSVILLE March 19 (R)-- Bracken countians will 'go to the polls Satkirday May 17 to

by national UAW officers The unions international executive board charged the House subcommittee on education and labor "has sought to serve the corporation and break the strike" which began at the Wisconsin plant last April The board's action in calling on all other unions to support the strike dimmed hopes of an early settlement and quashed oft-repeated reports that the disputants were close to agreement on a plan for ending the strike Robert Buse president of the strikebound Local 248 prepared to return to Wisconsin to resume direction of strike activities after telling newsmen "There will be no peace in the Allis-Chalmers situation for a long time yet" Buse and Harold Christoffel honorary president of the local have been under investigation by the subcommittee since a witness told

safety as the flyer highballed toward the wagon Damage to the locomotive required a three-hour stop for repairs II II MOSCOW March 19 Foreign Minister Molotov and Secretary of State George Marshall agreed today that a meeting of minds was possible in this conference of the Council of Foreign Ministers on Germany's economic program Molotov said in a statement however that the Soviet Union rejected the British-American position that the Potsdam decisions on reparations superseded the decisions of the Big Three Yalta conference He further declared that the economic unity of Germany without reparations was not acceptable to the Soviet government but that with reparations it would be acceptable Marshall reminded Molotov that there difficulties to be faced in the reparations problem He said he was prepared to "consider" Molotov' demands follo a higher level of industry in Germany to raise her steel production but he added that there was an "inherent danger" in developing a production program designed for reparations purposes Russia has asked that the steel production level be raised to 10- 000000 or 12000000 tons annually Molotov said it did not follow from the disputes which thus far have broken out here that the four powers would be unable to find a common point of view on such issues as the level of German industry a balanced import-export program and freedom of movement in Germany as well as on similar key matters Molotov spoke after Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of Britain in a studied commentary on the Soviet program for Germany rejected Russian reparations demands and said it was Britain's policy not to agree to any dollar valuations on reparations Molotov has put forward a Soviet claim for 210000000000 in reparations from postwar
