v TUESDAY. MARCH 21. 1950 Secret Signals Charge in Coal Dispute Probed Washington, March 21 (U1) The FBI today was investigating charges that John L. Lewis used a secret set of signals to keep miners out of the pus (luring the, recent coal strike. Assistant attorney general H. Graham Morison said he ordered the FBI inquiry last Saturday af ter readihg about the charges against Lewis by Lloyd M. Siden er, ousted president of a United Mine Workers local in Canton, 111. "I've told the FBI to make a thorough Investigation of every thing that has come up in the case," Morison said. According to published reports, Sidener accused Lewis of using intricate signals to countermand the two back-to-work orders he is sued when Federal Judge Rich mond B. Keech told him to get the mines back in production. 1 . Whistle Symbol He said that after Lewis issued his order, Bernard J. Beasley, a UMW district board member tele phoned him and said, "the whis tle blew one." Beasley explained, he said, that this meant the min ers were to stay out of the pits. If Lewis actually had wanted the miners to return to work, Sid ener said, the signal would have been: "The whistle blew three." Beasley has denied Sldener's statement. Morison said he has had no information other than the data contained in newspaper stories of Sldener's charge. Morison, head of the justice de partment's claims division, was the government's chief attorney in its attempt to persuade Keech that the UMW was in contempt of coijix for failing to obey his order. Keech acquitted the union of both civil and criminal contempt. He said the government failed to prove the UMW had deliberately defied his temporary restraining order. ' The justice department Is ap pealing the civil contempt acquit al. It told the U. S. Court of ap peals in a brief filed by Morison yesterday that Lewis' orders were a "sham and pretense and that they "could not have been ex pected to bring about a return to work." It warned that failure to punish the union would hamstring future court efforts to halt strikes affect ing the national safety. THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND.

Irving Steers is home from Cor vallis, where he is attending Ore gon State college. He is visiting his mother, Mrs. Gladys Steers, Other Fuels Threatening Coal in U.S. By Robert E. Lee (United Prewi Suff Correspondent) Washington, March 21 (lit Two "laborless" fuels are threatening to gobble up markets of the soft coal industry, which blames its poor competitive position on John L. Lewis. Operators say their future de pends on their ability to control production costs. But they have a problem not found. in the competing oil and natural gas industries: labor rep resents 60 per cent of coal pro duction costs, and its price is go ing higher and higher. Pumps and pipes do most of the work in gas and oil production. Cost control is impossible with out "free collective bargaining" and that, coal operators say, is impossible with Lewis at the helm of the United Mine Workers. Pipelines Extended While the industry struggles to hang on to customers, pipelines carrying other fuels burrow deep er into traditional coal markets. Today, every section of the coun try but the extreme Pacific north west is served, in some degree, by the spreading underground network. The government reports that 29,000 miles of natural gas lines were built between 1942 and last November. It says the gas indus try win spend more than 53.000, 000,000 for expansion by 1952, 80 per cent of it for natural gas fa cilities. Meanwhile, huge imports of middle eastern and Caribbean oil flood Atlantic seaboard markets, driving down prices. The interior department's bitu minous coal advisory council con tends that increased imports since last 1948 have caused "sig nificant damage" to the nation's fuel economy. The council says 1,000.000 bar rels of oil displace 250,000 tons of coal production, 250 miners and 250 railroad and other transport workers.

March 21 ilii The Smithsonian Institution claims it has iound a drink that will make your fingers tingle but won t make you drunk. "Some of its effects seem little short of miraculous," the Smith sonian said today. The drink Is yocco. It Is made from the bark of a vine which nourishes in the Amazon Jungles. So far only a few small Indian tribes of southeastern Columbia nave lumDicu to its powers. Dr. Richard E. Schultes, an ag riculture department plant explor er, has gathered specimens of the vine and has sent them to the Smithsonian's national herbar ium. Schultes, who has drunk yocco In the Jungle "on many occas ions," said it has the effect of delaying latigue and hunger lor hours. No Fatigue "A tingling of the fingers and a general feeling of well-being are noticeable 10 minutes after drink ing," Sohults reported. "I have made long trips through the for ests and, taking nothing but yoc co, have felt neither fatigue nor nunger. Nor did he ever feel intoxicat ed. Schultes attributes the vine's power to a high concentration of caffeine in its br.rk. The few v Indians who know about yoeco's ability "to allay all sensations of hjanger for at least three hours and supply mus cular stimulation," save a lot of food. They down several snorts of yocco early in the morning and then, Schultes said, "eat nothing until noontime."
