He had it made before he went north. After reaching his destina tion he discovered it was inade quate to withstand the low tem peratures, so he had it rellned by the Eskimos to meet the cold about 40 degrees below zero. The furs are turned down so as to shed water and it is only nec essary to shake the coat dry. The parka hood was made from wolf skin and was added in Alas ka. The top half of the mucklets, or shoes, are made of reindeer skin. The bottom half is walrus skin, which Reese says, the Eski mo women chew to shape into mocassins.

Coal Miners Ordered Back On Three-Day Week ) (Continued from page One) members of Congress that Presi dent Truman act under the Taft. Hartley law to restore full coal nroductlon. Mr. Truman has refused to con sider the three-day production week an emergency warranting his intervention. But the full strike by the 66,000 miners had further curtailed production and increased demands that the White House step in. Presumably, the miners will jump to meet Lewis' suggestion. From him it is the equivalent of an order. And the miners have never yet failed to follow their chieftain's wishes. Congress Act Too Late From a production angle, the strike Is now costing the nation about four million tons of coal a day. In Washington, senators pored over means to legislate away some of Lewis' power. Ten senators sent a report to the senate Judiciary committee saying a bill forbidding labor to monopolize control of industry would stop the "usurpation and abuse of power" by Lewis' recent three-day work week decree. Judging by usual practice, how ever, a Judiciary committee study of the situation would in volve hearings and take much time before resulting recommen dations to the Senate. Snator Ferguson (R-Mich) said he would ask the senate to pass a W resolution calling for the persl- f dent to declare an emergency.
