Experiments have revealed that

Citod For Contempt
(Continued from page One)
to the satisfaction of th court, it
will mean a hearing next Monday
before Judge Keecb. The UMW
could be fined any amount the
judge deema proper. If still out
next Monday th atrikers will have
been in defiance of the court order
for two weeka. The order was re
newed yesterday until March 1.
Entire Wealth jtopardiiad
The union paid $2,130,000 in two
fines for similar scrspe with the
court in 1948 and 1948.
Judge Keech could wipe out the
UMW'a rich holdings, built from
almost nothing since 1933. These
assets consist of huge bank ac
counts, four valuable Washington
office buildings only a couple of
blocks from the Whit House,
bonds and bank stocks.
lewis was held responsible along
with the union both previous times.
He has met th court orders this
time. Two communiques from Lew
is failed to get the miners back
on th job. They insisted on lifting
again their traditional war -cry:
"No contract, no work." They have
been without a contract since the
old one expired last June 30.
Lewis haa been whittling away
at once-enormous coal stockpiles
to improve the miners' bargaining
position in the meantime. Two
strikes and a three-day work week
have brought the nation's coal re
serves to an amount estimated at
barely enough to last ten days.
Lewis In Tight Spot
That stage waa reached pains
takingly, and in a mild winter.
Now the east is gripped in a biting
cold wave, and Lewis is suddenly
confronted with th poaibility of
real hardship. He haa maintained
in th past that the miners' strikes
have been settled short of the
danger point.
Brownouts and coal rationing
have been ordered in New York
state. Commercial establishments
were put under rationing in the
District of Columbia. Some night
workers were forced into sweatera
and coata as heat waa reduced in
Washington's coal-fueled private of
fice building.
The Statler hotel, where Lewis
and the coal operators resume ne
gotiations toward a new contract
today, was prepared for the short
age. It had a two-way heating
plant which could use oil or coal.
Government buildings were not
included in the District of Colum
bia rationing order, nor were
homes oc schools.

Vogeler Given Prison
Term Of Fifteen Years
(Continued from page One)
down the sentences it had taken
into consideration that most of the
defendants had not been convicted
of crimes before, that most were
married, and that they made "sin
cere confessions," and that, in the
cses of Vogeler and Sanders, they
acknowledged not having "any
grudge" against Hungary. The
judge said Vogeler and Sanders
had been ordered by their military
superiors "to carry out their activ
ities in ttiis country."
The defendants stood quietly with
folded hands and expressionless
facea aa Judge Olthy announced
the sentences.
Geiger, Rado and the other de
fendants all are Hungarian na
tionals. The court sentenced the
Rev. Istvan Justh, Roman Cat ho
lie priest, and Kelemen Domokos,
accountant in the Standard com
pany, to 10 years. Edina Doery. a
barmaid, was given a five-year
term.
United Statea Minister N'athanial

called a news conference.
Torture Us Told
(In New York, Paul Ruedemann.
I Standard Oil company of New
Jersey executive who was expelled
bv Hungary in Sentember. 1948.
after signing a sabotage confes
sion, commented:
". . . in Hungary today a man
can be forced to 'confess' because
he sees nothing else to do. He is
confined f 1 a dungeon with no hope
of getting out unless he does con
fess. He is deprived of food and
water, questioned constantly,
brought to such mental and physi
cal exhaustion that anything even
poison seems better than what he
is going through."
The trial lasted only three days
It was held in the same court
room where Cardinal Mlndszenty
confessed to plotting against the
state and where former Vice Pre
mier Raik doomed himself by con
fessing to treason. The same pros
ecutor, Alapi, conducted those tri
als. The same presiding Judge, Ol
thy, sentenced Mindszenty to life
imprisonment.
Calmly and unemotionally Voge
ler told the court last week that
he was a professional agent work
ing out of U.S. Army Intelligence
headquarters in Vienna. He said
he had been Instructed to obtain
special information about radar
production, rockets, uranium and
oil deposits In Hungary and to help
atomic scientists to flee the coun
try. He declared that he sent econom
ic and political information to U.S.
Intelligence headquarters.

would lift the sewage sufficently

would be pumped across the river
to the disposal plant.
Tw New Ordinances
Two ordinancea were read for
the firat and second times. One
would replace the present bicyclo
ordinance and require annual li
censing of bicycles, at SO cents a
year. At present only an initial
license of 25 cents, with no time
limit, ia charged.
The second ordinance specifically
would prohibit construction of fra

nor changes pertaining to aetback

A petition, bearing 40 names,

menting on his confession Mrs. Vo
geler said, "It is obvious to anyone
who knew Bob at all that he has
been drugged or subjected to some
kind of torlure to make him say
all these things.")
(Sosthenes Behn, chairman of the
board of I. T. and T., issued a
statement in New York last week
saying the charges against Vogeler
were "fantastic in the extreme and
totally untrue." He expressed the
belief that the confessions bv Voge

been made under circumstances of
extreme duress, coercion and

Voctler's arrest last Nov. 18 as
he was leaving Budapest for Vienna
