RUEM YRll mm Io) is SI W) 3(0) OTP 0S3OOO0 TPCDCDQG The quiet capitulation of John L. Lewi and the United Mine Worker to the decision of the U. S. supreme court is reassuring evidence of the internal unity in this country. Labor and business both accept the decisions of the high court, whether they like them or not. The withdrawal of notice of contract termination by the min ers' union merely gives a respite until the war powers act expires wt June. The country now should demand that mine owners and union heads get togeiher to work out a new contract. This brings into public attention the wages and working conditions and living conditions of miners and their families. Last month at the meeting of the Oregon Council of Churches in Eugene a panel discussion of industrial relations was held, with an employer and a union man as spokesmen. Since both, as good Christians, urged negotiations on h- Kai nf the Gold Rule, little u.9 cenerated. When asked about John L. Lewis, the men.

All-Out War in China Claimed NANKING. March 20-iVP)-The Chinese government has embarked n a program of total war calcu lated to defeat the communists within three months, the govern ment's army chief of staff de clared today in discussing the ud den capture of Yenan, communist capital.

They were distributed to mem bers of the house foreign affairs committee in the form of large 1 loose-leaf notebooks for back ground on United States policies in the Mediterranean, and the congressmen protested the de partment's "secret" labels. Chairman Eaton (R-N.J.) an nounced he will demand that the "secret information be made public. Eatee U Press for Aetiee "There is only one way to han dle this and that is to make all the facts Dublic." Eaton told news- the American people.

Observers saw in the killing an other indication of a rift in com munist ranks. They recalled that the recent arrests of more than 500 su.ected communists in Athens were made on the basis of infor mation supplied by communists to the minister of public order, Na poleon Zervas. Police quoted Christos Vlachos. 30-year-old butcher from Serres. as saying he killed Zevgos "for what I suffered in the mountains." They said he claimed to have been imprisoned at Bulkjes in Yugo slavia for six months "because I would not accept the communist line against Greece."

March 20-vP-France and Great Britain split tonight on the future disposition of Ger many's coal resources in the first uhn.i Hiu0rMmnt arruine the western powers at the council of foreign ministers. Foreign Minister dault notified the Georges Bi councili that France could not consent to' eco nomic reconstruction of Germany unless the other powers agreed to ner demands for guarantees of German coal British Foreign Sectretary Er nest Bevin replied curtly that he could not accept a proposal where one power blocked all negotiations until it gets its way on one point. Meanwhile. Secretary of State George C. Marshall served notice that he would request that the four-power council summon the Austrian government to Moscow for consultation on the peace treaty for Austria. The council will drop the Ger man discussion for one day to hear a progress report from its deputies tomorrow on Austria af ter which Marshall will make his motion. The adamant French stand, con fronting the council with a vir- tual take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum, created what appears to be the worst split yet developed here among the western powers unless British and France can find a way to negotiate a compromise. The situation found the Russians back ing the French coal demands.

Such an expenditure of time, man-power, and money in support oT a mere half dozen courts would seem fantastic if the only purpose was the trial and punishment of a few score persona. Bat that is not the only purpose. The Nuernberg tribunals are trying only those charged as major war criminals. The high purpose is not alone pun ishment of the guilty. For the first time, the truth con cerning nazi atrocities and perver sions of justice is to be established for history through a procedure uninfluenced and untouched by any external pressures, and in which the truth will be developed from the testimony of both parties. The proceedings are in every re- spect judicial. KUNDII 1651 Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning. GOP Set For 30 Tax $ut WASHINGTON, March 20 .-(JPy-A 30 per cent tax cut for some 20,000,000 "little fellows" and a 20 per cent slash for virtually all other income taxpayers was ap proved by the house republican high command.

Lewis said today the choice of James Boyd to head the bureau of mines was "a political deal" and the government should have consulted "the men who are going to die in the mines" before naming Boyd to be in charge of their safety. "Wre want less wailing and keening in the coal camps," he said. The United Mire Workers' chief made his appeal to a sen ate public lands subcommittee in protesting President Truman's appointment of Boyd, 42. Australian-born professor. Lewi de clared bluntly that the appoint ment will embitter the miners. Emphasizing the precarious lives of the men who work far underground, Lewis went on to testify that "statistically, in six I years every man in the coal min I mg industry is either killed or i injured " Many coal mining states, j he said. actually spend more money lor me protection or wild life than to protect the miners' lives.
