TUESDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1952 Week-Long Lewis Sends Soft Coal Miners Back Pending Wage Decison PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27 (JP) —The - week-long coal strike ended today with John L. Lewis firing off “go to work” telegrams to aides throughout the nation’s soft coal fields. The president _of the striking United Mine Workers told his 375,000 diggers they shorn best interests of the public and themselves pending a final deci sion on their pay increase. The nation’s coal production was throttled just a week ago af ter, the Wage Stabilization Board ruled that 40 cents should be lopped off the $1.90, a day pay boost which Lewis recently ne gotiated with the industry. Miners, whose pay was cut by the WSB action from the ex pected $18.20 for a basic mini mum day .-to $17.85 promptly re fused to work. They too,k the stand that the government had nullified their contract. The miners have a long “no contract no work” tradition. Lewis sided with his men and said they Wouldn’t work unless WASHINGTON. Oct 27 (JP)— The Interior Department said today the freeze on shipments of soft coal ends ■ automatically when each mine resumes pro duction. It had been imposed to con serve coal in the event of a lengthy strike. No accurate estimate is pos sible on the amount of coal that was held up by the freeze. they got the full $1.90. But over the weekend President Truman summoned Lewis and Harry M. Moses, chief industry negotiator, to the White House and made a personal appeal for an end to the strike. Lewis then sent his district di rector telegrams this morning which said in part: “It will require a reasonable time for review, of attendant facts and the reaching of a decision. “It is my opinion that our in dustry should be operating dur ing that period and that the best interests of the mine workers and the public will be best served. “1 am therefore requesting an immediate resumption of opera tions -at all mines in all districts and I am urging each member of our union to return to work at once.” There is no official indication of how the pay issue will be re solved finally. The industry and the union jointly appealed the wage board’s decision that the full pay boost would jeopardize the nation’s anti-inflation fight. They appealed to Economic Stabilizer Roger Putnam, who has the- power to overrule the WSB. i In Washington, Putnam, cate gorically denied that he was aware of any deal to accommo date Lewis as the price for end ing the pre-election strike. . “I just don't happen to be a dealer,” Putnam told reporters. “The only promise I made, or know about, is that the appeal made by Lewis and a major por tion of the coal industry from the WSB ruling will get prompt and serious consideration.” New Gettysburg Prexy GETTYSBURG, Pa., Oct. 27 (/P) —Gettysburg ' College has inaug urated Dr. Walter C.

The defendant, John David Provoo, 36, faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted as a renegade to the Japanese in World War 11. Captured in the fall of Cor regidor a decade ago, Provoo al legedly shaved his head, donned the robes of the Buddhist priest hood and turned on fellow Amer ican captives to single them out for Japanese brutality. Buddhism, a venerable religion of the East, teaches that all life is subject to suffering. Witnesses from Japan, Aus tralia,' Korea, Great Britain and Italy are on call for the strange trial. Federal Judge Gregory F. Noo nan ordered the process of pick ing a jury to proceed after re fusing defense requests to dis miss the charges. The defense argued a lack of evidence and said Provoo was cleared of all charges by the fact of his honorable discharge from the Army in 1946. McCarthy CHICAGO, Oct. 27 (/P) Sen. Joseph R.

PENNSYLVANIA Candidates Attack Each On Questions of Foreign Adlai Mentally Untutored ike PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27 (IP) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said tonight Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson has a mentality “completely un tutored” to meet tough world problems and that the administra tion has deliberately fostered poli cies of inflation and “treadmill prosperity” for workers. The Republican presidential nominee threw the double-bar reled blast at the Truman admin istration and his Democratic rival in a speech delivered in this busy steel center. ' Eisenhower repeated, as he had all day long in a barnstorming train trip across Pennsylvania, a pledge that he will go to Korea if he becomes president to see what can be done about ending the war there “with speed and honor.” He jeered at Stevenson and other critics for what he called “partisan howling” on the subject. Stevenson has suggested the place to settle the Korean War is in Moscow. Eisenhower had this comeback: ABOARD EISENHOWER TRAIN IN PENNSYLVANIA, Oct. 27 (JP)— Gov. John S. Fine flatly pr'e dieted'today Gov. Dwight D. Eisenhower will carry Pennsylvania by more than 150,- 000 votes next Tuesday. “It betrays again the mentality that is completely untutored in the tough business of world rela tions. It is the cry of men whose formula for dealing with Soviet aggression has been openly stated in terms of ‘give and concede.’ Hits Adlai Hours before/ McCarthy- spoke, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, cam paigning in Pennsylvania, empha sized that subversives must be cleared out of government but in doing so “we have to destroy the reputation of no innocent man. We can do it and must do it the American way.” His aides said Eisenhower was making his own position clear in advance of the McCarthy speech. McCarthy charged that the Communist Daily-Worker in effect has given “complete endorse ment” to Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson and “orders the Communists!’ to support him. GARY, Ind„ Oct. 27 (TP)— President Truman declared to night that Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower himself was responsi ble for the withdrawal of U.S. occupation troops from Korek in 1948. SPECIAL BRIEFCASES Coal Strike Ends LATE BULLETIN 3.95 QUALITY LEATHER Major Korean Hill Recaptured By Marines SEOUL. Tuesday, Oct. 28 (JP)— U.S. Marines battling with fists, bayonets, and rifle butts wrested back the crest of a major West ern Front hill position Monday from 1500 attacking Chinese Reds only to withdraw after dark un der intense artillery fire. Front reports said the Reds concentrated, more than 17,000 rounds of shell fire on the posi tion known as “The Hook.” This is a mile long ridge guarding main Allied lines ten to 12 miles north east of the truce town of Pan munjom. With trench defenses shot to pieces, the Marines pulled off the crest and slopes, Monday night. However, front dispatches said the Communist ground threat had been broken with heavy casual ties. An accurate estimate was lacking. On the Central Front north of Kumhwa, Allied and Chinese troops dug in feverishly on the Y shaped northern end of Sniper Ridge after battling to a stand still in 14 days and nights of sav age action. As the focus of battle swung to the west, Navy, Marine, and Air Force planes plastered the attacking Chinese with rockets, bombs and napalm. Almost 200 sorties alone were flown Monday in the First Marine Division’s sector.
