Johnson gave the house armed services committee a sizzling an swer to charges fired at him by all the navy's top officers up to and Including Adm. Louis E. Hen feld, chief of naval operations. He said he ordered the super carrier cuncelled last spring with the full approval of President Truman, and he got from Com mittee chairman Carl Vinson, D, Ga the admission that the deci sion was right. ' When Johnson finished, Vinson recessed the hearings until Jan uary, when the committee will consider a formal report on the Inter-service row touched off by navy attacks on the way unifica tion Is working.

Coal Operators Break Off Negotiations With Lewis White Sulphur Springs. V. Va., Oct. 21 (UP) Operators of the big northern ami western soft coal mines today broke off negotiations with the United Mine Workers. (ieorge H. Love, chief spokesman for the operators group, declared : "In his mad race for power John L. Lewis is impoverishing our employes and is willing to destroy the coal industry. Therefore we are leaving this : : conference." Arnrlr4 Dic riri The operators' spokesman nom UISTTIQT charged that the United Minej onf7Q wnars Must Workers' chief has refused to -onoovv"er5 7-5-; negotiate in good faith. Love Uf.u Own Water pointed out that U-wis has;701" " ' er failed to attend the final three 1 Landowners in the Arnold irri- meetings. "Mr. Lewis has shown his utter disregard for our employes by forcing them to lose GO days work so far this year while he flaunts his power to dictate when and how many days If any the mines will work in this country," Love said. Hopes Dashed The operators' action dashed all hopes of ending the 32-day strike of 380,000 coal miners without government Interventions. Only yesterday President Truman had said that he still hoped both the crippling coal and steel strikes would be settled by mediation and negotiation. Love placed the blame for the deadlock over the UMW's wage pension demands directly on Lew Is. He said: "He hos disdainfully absented himself from this conference, only being present eight days since the first of July. Two weeks ago the government mediation service ! asked us to reconvene these meet- lugs. And in those two weeks he had only been In attendance for about two hours and rarely has he spoken when present." Love said the northern and western operators, who produce more than two-thirds of the na tion's soft coal, hod "made their best final offer." This was a proposal to continue the Inst wage agreement with the UMW with the clause requiring miners to work only when "will ing and able" deleted. "Under the circumstances, re maining here longer would only make the operators a party to fooling the miners who mine the coal and the public who buys it," Love said. SOMK POTATO DAMAGE Prlnevllle, Oct. 21 UIiGrowers and warehousemen today estimat ed that 05 per cent of the Crook county potato harvest had been completed but said that some frost damage was apparent. Digger Wears f)'-frj. gallon district will have to haul their own water for domestic pur poses this winter, according to a report today from George Mur phy, one of the district's board directors. I For the pas two years the dis trict has provided a water-hauling service for the farmers dur ing the winter months, but at a recent meeting the board decided to terminate the practice. Murphy stated that the annual cost to the district for the serv ice amounted to about $S00. He said that the cost was shared by all landowners in the district whether or not they benefited by the service. Murphy explained that mem bers of the board felt it (--equitable for those landowners not us ing the service to be required to share In the expense of it, and tor that reason decided to stop hauling water to individual users for domestic purposes. Repair Work Slated It also has been the practice in the past for the gates of the Ar nold ditch to be opened every 30 days or so during the winter months so that landowners couio have water with which to fill their cisterns. However, that will not be pos sible until workof replacing pt the district's flume, Is completed, perhaps about January. Irrigation of lands In the dis trict tliis year ended October 1. with the 'closing of the ditch gates, and the beginning of pre liminary work on the project of replacing a 782 foot section of the district's wood water runway with a metal flume. Actual work on placement of the flume was begun this past!ntln(r was swelled to more thon week by the R. P. Syverson con - trnctlng firm. Cost of the project, which is port of the district's rehabilitation program started in IMS, will be $21,017. Syverson is the contractor who. .

Ariz., Oct. 21 HP) The search for three missing navy fighter planes turn ed today to virtually inpregnable Superstition mountain, resting place of the legendary lost Dutch man gold mine.
