In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
AS these words are written,
there is a break in the long
and costly coal strike. John L.
Lewis has just called for a 12-day
truce, during which coal will be
mined while the wage negotia
tions go on.
That, at least, Is some progress.
We need coal.
LEWIS lets go this typical blast:
"This action (the truce) is the
contribution of the United Mine
Workers of America to our na
tion's economy which is being im
periled by the stupidity and sel
fish greed of the coal operators
and associated financial interests
and by demagogues who have
tried to lash the public mind into
a state of hysteria rather than
grant justice and fair treatment
to the men who mine the nation's
coal."
THAT is a fast one, in the best
Lewis style, but it is hard to
escape the conclusion that it is an
offensive-defensive maneuver de
signed to mask the fact that the

Surrender Nof Unconditional,
Nippon Attorney Contends at
Trial of Top War Criminals
TOKYO, May 13. UP) Argument that Japan did not surrender
unconditionally and does not have to obey every Allied command was
presented today to the Far East Military Tribunal by the chief de
fense counsel for Japan's major war criminals.
Attorney Kiyose's challenge that the court lacks authority to try
the 28 defendants on 55 counts was taken under advisement as the
tribunal adjourned until Tuesday.
The Allies' chief prosecutor, Jo
seph B. Keenan, labeled Kiyose's
argument as the "height of ab
surdity" and offered documentary
evidence that Japan's surrender
was "utterlv without condition."
Kiyose said that in eivine the

The conference ended In a com-
plete breakdown yesterday, thus
dealing a severe blow to the
hopes of those who Had expected
a quick transition from British
control to Indian self-government.
The communiques issued after
the breakdown one jointly by
the cabinet mission, the Moslem
League and the Congress party;
the other by the cabinet mission
alone gave no rcasonf for col
lapse of the negotiation.
It seemed apparent, however,
that the conference had flound

It added, however, that the

COURT RULES HE'S 'DAD'

After Husband Leaves
Divorce Suit Issue
NEW YORK. May 13 (IP) A
24 year-old Navy lieutenant says
he will appeal the ruling of the
New York Supreme Court that
he is the father of a boy born
to his wife 355 days after he left
for the Pacific.
lLt. (ig) Robert A. Lockwood
sailed for a 26-month tour of
duty on April 24, 1944 and a son
was born to his wife April 14,
The couple was married in
March, 1944.
ine court ruling was made bv
Supreme Court Justice Peter M.
Daly in denying a plea for di
vorce by the naval officer, who
contended that a 355-day preg
nancy was Impossible and there
fore proof of adultery.
'Not Impossible'
justice uaiy ruled, nowever,
that in "the present state of
medical knowledge and belief, it
can not be said that it is im
possible that the plaintiff is the
father of this child."
Daly also said evidence by a
Jamaica, N. Y., hospital doctor
showed that the delivery was
abnormally delayed, and added
that "the presumption of legiti
macy is one of the strongest and
most persuasive known to law."
As precedent he cited a British
probate court decision of 1921 up
holding legitimacy of a baby born
alter a dd-uay pregnancy.
Commenting on the ruling,
Lockwood said: "I wish some one
could convince me that he's
right."
Mrs. Lockwood said only "The
decision tells the story."
in a recent Chicago case, a
jury decided that Former Chief
Petty Ullicer Joseph howa could
not have been the father of a
baby born to his wife 349 days
after his departure. He was
granted a divorce.
