France today, driving pickets out
of 20 pits near Buray.
Miners were going back to work
in ever" increasing numbers but
production was only about 20 per

Four million tons of un-mined
coal has been lost to the nation in
the 26-day tie-up about 10 per
cent of the yearly production. So
the government is expected to di
vert $19,000-000 of Marshal plan

to form the Scandinavian bloc
which Norway favors. Discussions
were begun October 15, however,

three countries to find whether a
basis exists for joint action on
Scandinavian military questions.

Salem editors who have watched carefully the cperofion of the City Manager Plan in Salem are
outspoken in their recommendations that the Plan be ccritmued.

column, "that the progress made in less than two years under the city mana

endorsed by a heavy vote." And the CAPfTAL JOURNAL said, "Salem's, city
manager has earned his entire salary, including the raise, many times over
during his short term in office here. By his intelligent handling of city affairs.
he has put each department on an efficient basis. The taxpayers have bene
fitted themselves by his able administration."
