Plan for Strike
Intervention
WASHINGTON. Oct 20 - CP) -President
Truman has no present
intention of intervening personally
in the coal or steel strikes, nor any
plans for government seizure of
those industries.
He made that clear today at his
news conference. ;
But he Said, the sooner those
strikes are ended the better for the
country, labor and management.
About 1,000.000 workers have
been made idle since the mine
strike began Sep 19 and the steel
walkout started October I.
The president said he is depend
ing on current conciliation efforts
to spur the parties into settling the
strikes directly among themselves.
It seemed obvious that the pres
ident - - by his negative replies to
questions about his plans - - means
to allow as much non-governmental
pressure as possible to build up
for settlement of the disputes, ,
A reporter asked what he in
tends to do if mediation efforts
break down. The president said
well cross; that bridge when we
come to it
Coal talks at White Sulphur
Springs and Bluefield, W. Va., tee
tered through another day without
result. John L. Lewis, head of the
striking soft coal miners, showed

Springfield, 111. He strode from the
conference yesterday, called for
his bag and drove away without
explanation.
Guatemalan
Toll Reduced

official said today he believed
on'.y 500 were dead instead of the
government's estimate of 4,000 in

ward Russel of St Louis, made an
aerial survey of the country. ; He
said that, from what he had seen
and heard, he thought the official
death toll estimate was exaggera
ted, but that the damage to crops
and. property probably would
reach the government figure of
$50,000,000,
Russell said the areas worst hit
by the two weeks of torrential
rains were in the Pacific coastal
region. Many villages were still
under water.

Convicts Radioed Pleas for
Freedom Halted in Mississippi
PARCHMAN, Miss, Oct 20 -CP)-Frank Moody, Mississippi's
broadcasting convict, is off the air.
The 28-year-old convict's three radio transmitters, which he used
in clandestine promotion of his efforts to gain legal freedom, have
been dismantled and stored in the state prison safe.
Warden Marvin Wiggins said today that Moody has been deprived
of his trusty privileges and has
been transferred to work- camp
about eight miles from prison
plantation' headquarters.
Moody is serving a 50-year term
which mushroomed from a seven
year sentence in 1939 for armed
robbery in Jackson county. Penal
ty for two escapes during his first
four years ran the total to the half
century mark.
Used to Communicate
The story of Moody's building
the transmitters and using them
for four years to communicate
with the outside world was told
to the Houston, Tex, Post by Joe
McKinney, regional manager of
the federal communications com
mission. ?
The FCC localized the unlicens
ed broadcasts to a 100 mile area
and field crews did the rest.
' The federal men went to the
trusty's ease at Parchman Sunday
and Moody was summoned.
All S Transmitters
"He saw the game was up," Mc
Kinney said, "grinned, and took
us to his cot After we had ac
quired the two transmitters there
be took us to the little four by six
guardhouse and pointed out the
other one."
For three weeks the field men
monitored Moody's daily broadcast
while Moody pushed his campaign
to obtain an "indefinite suspension
of sentence" from Governor Field
ing L. Wright McKinney said.
The governor's office in Jack
son said that Moody had a petition
for clemency on file.
McKinney said the prison broad
casts were beamed to persons in
Pascagoula and Bucatunna, Miss.
Warden Wiggins said it was his
understanding that , the messages
were going to a relative and "some
one hot related to him."
Wiggins said that Moody had
taken a course in radio repairing
and had been repairing radios for
inmates and employes for several
years.
