11 Tht Nwi-Rvlew, Reteburg, Ore. Tut., Jun 21, T 949 1 Harvard Won't Hunt For Communists On Faculty Australia Suffering From Necessities Because Miners Avoid Stockpiling Of Coal SYDNEY, June 21. UP Aus tralia is no land of plenty on tnls mid winter's day down under. Take a look at Sydney, a city of 1.500.000 one-fifth of all the people in Australia. There is no household gas for cooking or heating. Electric pow er is on only part of the time. You can't buy coal or coke to heat your house. You get only one-third of your normal order of milk. Fresh vegetables are scarce. Later in the week it's going to be just about impossible to buy all the bread and meat you want. Hundreds of factories are clos ing. Tens of thousands of men are being paid off. Train service is running at half schedule or less. The position is much the same in other big towns of New South Wales. Cities in other states will be affected almost at once. In Melbourne, for instance, gas can be used only for cooking and only for three and a half nours n riav. There are three reasons for these shortages: Not enough coal too much rain, too much wind. Australia's coal shortage is a long story. There Is plenty under ground but lor years there has not been enough to go around up top. Miners Responsible Miners' policy is to prevent stockpiling of coal on the surface. They reason that lack of reserves strengthen their bargain position, and it does. Result is that one day's stop- Eage at the mines sometimes rings rationing of gas and elec tricity to eke out available coal. Last Thursday coal miners all over Australia stopped work for a day. They decided at meetings to begin a general strike June 2.7 if their claim for more pay and less work Is not granted. They seek 30 shillings ($7.80) a week more pay and cut In work ing hours from 40 to 35 a week. On top of that, heavy rain flooded coal fields and there was a big production loss on Friday. Gales stopped colliers taking coal to Sydney and Melbourne from fields. The government, trying to con serve coal, ordered transport and public utilities to cut consump tion by 50 per cent. Industry us-1 Ing coal was given a 75 per cent cut. But wind and rain have pre vented utilities getting enough coal to operate at even half out put. Electricity Use Banned Monday the New South Wales cabinet ordered drastic gas cuts. It banned the use of electricity for industry and for public light ing and amusement. Jt rationed gas ana electricity to houses. Only two lights In each house are permitted at night and heating Is banned. Cooking by gas (if there is any) and electricity is restricted to two periods in the morning and evening totaling three hours. Effect of the restrictions will be to bring almost all industry to a standstill. This will throw 250 to 300 thousand men out of work. At the same time housewives will blame floods for a shortage of milk and vegetables. Bread will be short because some bakers rely on gas. Meat will be short because of a strike at killing works. . . All in all, Australians are un happy today. ' CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 21. (JP Harvard, the nation's oldest university, will not hunt for Com munists on its faculty. To do so, the university says, might endanger its American freedom, its academic Integrity. The university's views, as ex pressed by a spokesman chosen by President James Bryant Con ant, is: "There will be no harrassment of professors for engaging in open and legal meetings. There will be no apparatus of inquiry and 'closer watch.' "The harm done by the effort necessary to discover even a single clandestine Party Member would outweigh any possible benefit." Harvard's stand on the Communist-hunting subject was made public in response to a question raised by an alumnus. It answered a Harvard man, Frank B. Ober, class of '13, prom inent Baltimore, Md., attorney and chairman of his state's corn mission which recently drafted legislation against Communism. AWOL Soldier On Trial In Slaying Of Trooper YELLVILLE, Ark., June 21. (If) A 24-year-old AWOL sol dier, who admitted slaying an Arkansas state trooper and a re tired railroad man in this North Arkansas mountain country, be gan a fight for his life today. Charged with first degree mur der, Kenneth D. Speegle went on trial here for the policeman's death. Prosecutor Eugene W. Moore said he would ask the death penalty. State Patrolman S. V. Pavatt was wounded fatally last Sept. 25 by a rifle bullet fired from a lonely mountain cabin. He was investigating a series of farm burglaries in the area. While hunting for the killer, authorities found the body of Zue E. Crook, who owned the cabin, buried in a shallow grave. Papers found in a nearby cave started an extensive manhunt for Speegle, AWOL from his Army post at Fort Lewis, Wash. He was arrested about two weeks later near Oklahoma City.
