Minton Wins Stnott
O. K. For High Court
(Continued from Page One)
tors Borah of Idaho and LaFol
lette of Wisconsin had grilled the
late Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes.
Ferguson said he wanted to ask
Minton if he had changed his
mind about the support he gave
the late President Roosevelt's un
successful 1937 plan to reorgan
ize the Supreme court.
Senator Jenner (R ind), absent
because of the illness of hi fath
er, said in a message read by
Senator Saltonstall (R Mass) that
"there is every indication ho
(Minton) has abandoned his rad
ical beliefs."
Minton was a strong New Deal
supporter when he was In the
Senate and served for a time
thereafter as a White House as
sistant to Roosevelt.
Minton is President Truman'j
fourth appointee to the nine-man
Supreme court. His others were
Chief Justice Vinson and Justices
Burton and Clark. President
Roosevelt named the other five:
Justices Black, Douglas, Reed,
Jackson and ranKfurter.

He later told reporters he
didn't know what the committee
would do but said "I will try to
get a bill I can defend."
Senator Aiken of Vermont, top
republican on the committee,
said he had no doubt the group
would return with a bill contain

ports it first, had recommended
to the Senate.
If so, he added, the Issue will
have to be fought out all over
again on the Senate floor.
Aiken declined to hazard a
guess on the outcome. But he
said that If a bill continuing the
present high support levls
should be passed and signed by
the President, the Democrats
"would lose the next election
hands down."

Soviet Satellite
Republic Planned
In East Germany
BERLIN. Oct. S P Fear of
Anti-soviet Titoism was admitted
today by German communists
hurriedly forming a Russian sa
tellite republic In Eastern Ger
many.
The republic Is due to be pro
claimed In Berlin Friday at a
special session of the communist
ruled German People's council.
Eastern non-communist parties
were reported promised less than
a third of the Ministries as a
price for waiving demands for
a popular election.
In a vital public declaration of
policy today, communist chief
tains served notice they would
use the eastern republic to fight
the "Quislings" of the West Ger
man f ederal republic, sponsored
hy the United States, Britain and
France.
They warned the communist
rank and file at the same time
to beware of a "Traitorous Tito
Clique" within their own party
which would try to stir up hatred
against the Soviet union and
foster "chauvinism."
Moscow's press this morning
published dispatches from Ber
lin that the German people had
derr.inded creation of a govern
ment not bound by "the colonial
occupation statute."
Steel Export Cut May
Be Forced By Strike
(Continued from Page One)
In a few cents an hour, too.
No negotiating sessions are In
sight. The government is keeping
hands off for the present.
That doesn't mean the govern
ment isn't concerned. Secretary
of Commerce Charles Sawyer,
says he's considering Imposing
export controls on steel. That
would keep more steel in Ameri
ca, prolonging employment In
many Industries in case the strike
isn't ended soon.
Almost as Sawyer was talking,
Westinghouse placed a number of
home appliances on an allocation
basis to distributors and dealers.
These include large model refrig
erators, electric ranges, washing
machines, clothes driers, vacuui.i
cleaners, water heaters and fans.
J. H. Ashbaueh. vice-Diesldent
of the company's appliance divi
sions, summed up Westinghouse s
position this way:
"We have enough sleel on hand
for full production this month.
But we will have to start cutlln;:
back operations at our plant here
(Mansfield, Ohio) and in Spring
field, Mass., by November 1."
Auto Industry Affected
ucpercussiona or the steel walk
out are coming from Detroit. For
the most part, auto companies
have enough steel on hand to
make autos for a month. How
ever, 8.000 employes of Packard
Motor car company will be idled
tomorrow and Friday. Packard
wants to survey the situation and
adjust lis working schedule to the
supply of steel on hand.
Reports of spdradic violence
come from the soft coal fields
daily. The latest flareup was In
Virginia last night. A few arrests
were made.
In Pennsylvania a coal tipple
coal preparation structure was
damaged by an explosion yester
day at the C. V. Fink and Son
mine near Clearfield.
A meeting between the ITMW
and the Southern Coal Producers
association ended on an optimis
tic note at Bluefleld, W. Va., yes
terday. There were reports the
operators had made some sort of
an offer. It couldn't be confirm
ed, but President Joseph E. Moo
dy declared he believed the nego
tiations have "turned the cor
ner." The coal strike fanned the
(lames of a minor war between
union and non-union miners to
day. Nearly a score of men were
arrested In Virginia and Pennsyl
vania. This resulted from bat
tling between pickets and unor
ganized miners still working In
defiance of John I.. Lewis and
his striking I'nited Mine Workera.
