Books Fail
To Back Up
Truman Story
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 IW A
spokesman at the Library ot Con
gress said today lhat a search of
available reference hooks failed to
turn up any data to back up Presi
dent Truman's story that the vice
president-elect In 1852 would have
been "mixed up in a lot of things"
had he lived.
Mr. Truman told the story to re
porters in Connecticut. He said dis
closure that Republican vice presi
dential nominee. Richard M. Nixon
had accepted $16,000 made this
year's political campaign a close
parallel to the 1852 presidential
race.
DIED IN CUBA
Mr. Truman said that Franklin
Pierce's running mate in 1852
William Rufus King died in Cuba
after taking the oath of office, but
that if King had lived to return to
the United States he would have
found himself "mixed up in a lot
ot things." He referred reporters
to Stefan Lorant's "The Presi
dency" for details.
The Library of Congress report
ed that Lorant's book includes a
report on the 1852 campaign but
that nowhere does the book sug
gest King "was involved in any
scandal." .
NO HINT OF SCANDAL
A quick look at other reference
books, including a sketch of King
in the Dictionary of American
Biography Directory of the Amer
ican Congress, and History of Vice
Presidents of the United States,
likewise fail to disclose any hint
of scandal in King's background,
the Library of Congress spokesman
said.
He said other reference books
were locked up for the weekend.
Fund Report Gets
Everyone in the Act
NEW LONDON. Conn. Of) !
President Truman exulted quietly
Saturday over the political furore
involving Republican vice presi
dential nominee Richard M. Nixon
while he spent nearly four hours
inspecting the Coast Guard Aca
demy here, v
During the train trip "to New
London Truman read with enjoy
ment newspaper accounts dealing
with the disclosure that Nixon ac
cepted some $16,000 in senatorial
expense money from California
business men the past two years.
Aides said Truman showed ob
vious pleasure over the Nixon de
velopment in a campaign in which
the Republicans have hit hard at
disclosures of corruption in the
administration. And they added
the President might have much to
say about it in his "whistle stop"
trip starting from Washington next
Saturday night.
Fund Disclosure Result
Of Digging by Newsmen
PASADENA, Calif, lifu. The dis
closure of the Nixon fund was the
result of digging by four newspa
permen, one working at long range,
the other three on the scene here.
Peter Edson, NEA columnist,
apparently was the first to get
wind of the fund. He said he first
heard rumors of its existence at
the Republican convention in Chi
cago in July.
The other three Leo Katcher.
Train Shipments
Hit New Peak
New York Post correspondent;
Richard Donovan,' Reporter Maga
zine staffer; and Ernest Breashear,
Los Angeles Daily News reporter
each stumbled on to it while mak
ing separate inquiries in recent
weeks.
When each discovered the others
had knowledge, of the fund, they
got together and jointly interview
ed Dana C. Smith, the fund custo
dian, bst Monday afternoon;
Edson, in the meanwhile, talked
j to Nixon Sunday night.
"He told me the basic facts and
said it was all right to use them,"
Edson said Saturday in Washing
ton. Nixon gave him Smith's name
to check for details.
Senator Supplements
Income With Speeches
SEATTLE tn A Seattle news
paper said Saturday Sen. Harry
P. Cain had disclosed he supple
ments his official income by ac
cepting fees, totaling about $5,000
a year, for speaking engagements.
Unless he did so, the Times quot
ed the Republican Senator as say
ing, he would not he able to carry
on the minimum obligations of a
Senator:
The Times said it had questioned
other members of the Washington
Congressional delegation about
their incomes after Democratic
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson assert
ed he had no special account to
draw on.
SALEM (IP The State Depart
ment of Agriculture said this week
that August marked a record
breaking movement o' grain by
way of river barges and trucks into
Portland.
C. W. Wright, chief of the de
partment's division of grain in
spection, said it seemed as if
Portland's elevators, mills and;
docks were in the midst of thej
grain fields.. Streams of trucks
lined up throughout, each day
awaiting turns at unloading. And
river barges almost constantly dis
charged their yellow gold at,
specially equipped elevators or ;
waited their turns at the unloading
berths. , v V
By these two modes of hauling
not including the heavy movement
of grain hy raill.902.622 bushels
of grain were, shipped into Port
land in August. Forty-three barges
discharged 811,578 bushels of
wheat, and 1180 trucks hauled in
576,759 bushels. Slightly more than
150 trucklots of oats and barley
were inspected.
Truck movement of barley was
under last year because the qual
ity was better for malting purposes
and more barley was loaded by
rail for direct shipment.
Soft Coal Strike
Off as Lewis
Gets New Pact
$1.90 Daily Wage Hike,
More Welfare Payments
WASHINGTON ItPI A major
soft'eoal strike was averted Satur
day when John L. Lewis and
northern producers agreed to a
new wage and welfare contract.
The agreement called for $1.90
daily wage boost for 170,000 north
ern miners.
John L. Lewis, United Mine
Workers president, and Harry
Moses, chief negotiator for north
ern soft coal producers, jointly
announced the agreement.
SUNDAY WALKOUT
The pact was signed six and
one-half hours before contracts
covering the northern soft coal
miners were to have expired. A
walkout was scheduled for Sunday
midnight, the beginning of the new
work-week.
Southern soft coal producers are
terms or lace a striKe uct. i.
The new northern agreement
also calls for a 10-cent a ton pay
ment increase by the operators to
the. union's welfare fund. The
operators now pay 30 cents a ton.
; The new contract will run from
Oct. 1, this year to Oct. 1, 1953.
The wage boost increases the
miners' average basic daily wage
to $18.25 a day.,
WELFARE FUND PAYMENTS
Previously hard coal operators
had reached an "interim" agree
ment with Lewis to boost pay
ments to the UMW welfare fund to
50 cents a ton and to abide by the
wage terms agreed to in the soft
coal dispute.
The hard coal operators produce
fuel mainly for home consumption;
the soft coal operators for the na
tion's mighty industries. ;
Lewis called the settlement a
"triumph of collective bargaining."
Moses said the settlement would
cost the operators about 32 cents
an hour and that overall costs of
the agreement would be "some
thing under" 40 cents for each ton
of coal mined.
PAY INCREASE
Moses said the wage boost aver
aged an 11.6 per cent increase in
miners' pay. He said the northern
operators will seek an increase
in the ceiling price of coal, "al
though the selling price is now
substantially below ceiling."
The industry leader said he was
"satisfied" with the contract but,'
lo a question by a reporter, said
be "couldn't say 'pleased.' " i
