March 3 -UP) The supreme court took on the case'of James C. Petrillo today but passed up another opportun ity to rule on John L. Lewis. It agreed to review litigation involving the constitutionality of the Lea act. which was passed especially to control the activi ties of Petrillo, head of the AFL Federation of Musicians. Meanwhile it let another opin ion day the first of four in March go by without a deci sion on the government's injunc tion against last November's coal mine strike and the contempt convictions against Lewis and his linited Mine Workers for disre gard of that order. The delay put heavy new pref-f sure of time on a situation al ready pushing against a March 31 deadline. in calling off last December's coal mine strike after his con tempt conviction, Lewis directed his men to work until that date. There U no assurance the min ers will dig coal after that unless there is a new agreement. Lewis lmself indicated that he expect- ed to work out a new contract in the light of supreme court findings and a large segment of the industry has opposed dealing with him before the supreme court speaks The Petrillo case was accepted by the court directly from the federal district court in Chicago which had held the Lea act un constitutional.

March 3--PTime Minister Stalin, after six years as commander of the vast Russian military organization, resigned his post as minister of the armed ( forces today because ot the ex I cessive pressure of his main I work" and handed the job to politically astute Marshal Nikolai Alexandrovich Bulganin, the Mos ' cow radio said tonight. The change in the top military command came as the Soviet Union gradually was deemphasiz ing military activities and demo bilizing millions of soldiers. The tremendous task of guiding Russian military forces through the war with Germany undoubt edly tired the 67-year-old Stalin, who has repeatedly been reported ill since the end of the war. Stalin retains his post as prime minister and will continue as a member of the presidium, general secretary of the central commit tee of the communist party, head of the powerful politburo and of j the orgburo. the latter the super- vising organization of the com munist party. 1 rlMl ,ro -t m. m. ii n ui s Escape Attempt VANCOUVER, B.
