Truman Gives '
Coal Crisis
To Mr. Krug
Cabinet Meeting Looks
At Situation and Clark
Examines Lewis Contract
Washington, Oct. 25 UP) The
threatened coal crisis was
brought up at President Tru
man's cabinet meeting today and
Attorney General Clark later
said his office is "analyzing"
the government's contract with
John L. Lewis' United Mine
Workers.
Clark told reporters that
while he had not been asked to
study the contract, "we always
analyze those things so we will
be ready if called upon."
The contract was negotiated
last May after the government
seized the idle soft coal mines.
Secretary of War Patterson
said in response to questions
merely that the coal situation
had been "mentioned" at the
40-minuto cabinet session.
Later Clark was asked how
much time was devoted to the
subject- of coal.
V" He related that about the only
discussion of the matter was
that it is in the hands of Sec
retary of Interior J. A. Krug
and Reconversion Director John
R. Steelman.
Krug on Trip West
Krug is now on a western
tour that is not scheduled to
end until November 6, the day
after election.
Lewis has demanded reopen
ing of the existing wage agree
ment and has served notice that
the pact will be "void" unless
the negotiations begin Nov. 1.
The federal coal mines admin
istration has taken the stand that
the contract is good for the du
ration of government operation
of the mines.
When a reporter asked if Mr.
Truman was optimistic about the
outlook on coal, Clark said that
the president had not indicated
whether he is or not.

Deeply sorry. My purpose was
not to defraud, but take care
of personal expenses. The
money has been restituted."

No Politics
In Decontrol
OPA Declares
Washington, Oct. 25 (U.R) A
top OFA official denied today
there was any political motive
in the agency's decision to issue
the forthcoming "master" de
control order just before the
November 5 election.
"Politics have nothing to do
with it," Deputy Price Adminis
trator C. Dean McNeal told re
porters. The new decontrol order,
scheduled for about November
1, will cover literally hundreds
of items, most of which are not
important in the cost of living.
Only rent, scarce materials and
a few other basic items will re
main under ceilings.
McNeal was asked about re
ports that top OPA officials
were concerned over the politi
cal implications of issuing the
order near election time. Ac
cording to these reports, the of
ficials fear OPA will be con
demned by the republicans if
the order comes out before the
elections, and by the democrats
if it is issued afterward.
Chances Not Affected
McNeal nut only disclaimed
political implications but as
serted that issuing the order on
November 1 would not alter
democratic chances one way or
the other.
OPA rent chief Ivan D. Car
son reported meanwhile that
OPA plans next month to ex
tend rent controls to additional
areas, particularly some college
towns. He repeated that rent
controls will not be lifted and
that no increase in rent ceilings
is contemplated,
OPA continued to remove
price ceilings from other items,
however. Included in today's
decontrol list were eye glasses,
glass frames and mountings, sun
glasses, hand-operated washing
machines, carving and kitchen
knives and forks, stcpladders,
outboard motors.
Acoustically amplified phono
graphs, lenses for optical, oph
thalmic and scientific use, non
electrical food choppers and ex
tractors such as meat grinders
and juicers, lanterns using oil,
oil hurricane lamp.v portable
electric lamps and shades, bou
doir lamps, desk lamps, table
lamps, and torchiers.
Pulp Paper Involved .t
Scheduled for decontrol about
November 1 were upholtered
platform rockers, high chairs,
nursery .chairs and seats, var
ious types of cloth including
patch cloth, tracing cloth and
label cloth, window 'Shade and
drapery trimmings, bad trays,
pier cabinets, whatnots, window
seats, and perhaps vacuum
cleaners and home freezers.
During the next week, OPA
will be formally asked by in
dustry to decontrol pulp, paper
and paper products, rice milling,
hides and skins, household re
frigerators, and radios.
McNeal said household re
frigerators and washing mach
ines would be among the last
consumer durables to be decon
trolled. Limit Placed on

Disappointed Doctor Deals
Death in Rich New York Home
Garden City, N. Y., Oct. 25 (VP) A prominent New York doctor
shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law today and then
wounded his navy veteran son and himself, Nassau County Dis
trict Attorney James N. Gehrig
said.
The district attorney said he
believed Dr. Frank H. Lasher
committed the act in disappoint
ment over his son's failure to
resume medical studies because
of war inflicted disabilities.
The dead were Dr. Lasher's
wife, Gladys, about 45, and her
mother, Mrs. Emma Bryan, 75.
Douglas Lasher, the 21-year-old
son, was taken to Nassau
hospital in Mineola with a bul
let wound in his chest. He was
expected to recover. Police
said the 60-year-old doctor was
in Meadowbrook hospital in
Hempstead in "extremely criti
cal" condition as the result of
four bullet wounds.
Gehrig said the son told de
tectives he awoke and found his
father standing in his bedroom
with a .22 caliber rifle in his
hand. The doctor, who for 20
years has been a surgeon on the
staff of the Brooklyn eye and

Churchill Joins
In Attlee Blast
Against Russia
London, Oct. 25 (IP) Win
ston Churchill and Prime Min
ister Attlee captured Britain's
headlines today with almost
simultaneous verbal blasts
against Russia in what appear
ed to be shaping up as a solid
British front against commun
ism. Churchill told his constitu
ents in suburban Loughton last
night that he had "facts" and
"evidence" to support his sug
gestion made in the form of
a question before the house of
commons Wednesday that the
Soviet union now has 200 divi
sions more than 2,000,000 men
on a full war footing in Russian-occupied
eastern Europe.
He lauded Attlee's speech be
fore the trades union congress
at Brighton earlier in the day
in which the prime minister
bluntly accused Soviet leaders
of erecting a "wall of ignorance
and suspicion" between the
Russian people and the rest of
the world.
"The fact that the British gov
ernment have decisively broken
with the communists and are
fronted with them, although it
does not immediately affect the
course of affairs in this island,"
said Churchill, "has an import
ant and beneficial result abroad,
because there are countries on
the continent like France
quivering under the communist
attack."
Warning Called Serious
He said his Wednesday speech
should be regarded as "a seri
ous warning," and added:
"I did not ask the question
(about Russian forces) without
weighing very carefully the
whole matter and without con
sulting others, my friends and
colleagues, and laying before
them the evidence on which I
proceeded.
"Nor did I ask the question
without informing the govern
ment before hand of my inten
tions, but you can take it from
me that the facts I adduced are
correct."
Government spokesmen re
mained resolutely silent with
regard to Churchill s embarrass
ing inquiry, but some sections
of the press were increasingly
critical of the wartime prime
minister's methods.
Churchill Criticized
"What ought not to be done,"
said the Daily Mirror, "is to
state (Britain's differences with
Russia) in the form of insult and
innuendo as Mr. Churchill was
inclined to do 25 years ago and
is doing again today."
Attlee, in his Brighton speech,
sharply accused "communists,
their dupes and fellow travel
ers" of practicing "misrepresen
tation" and said he "deeply re
gretted" the policy by which
"the Soviet government appears
deliberately to prevent inter
course between the Russian peo
ple and the rest of the world."
According to the Russians, he
declared, whoever was not a
communist was necessarily a
fascist.

the son related.
With blood streaming from
the wound, young Lasher, wear
ing only the trousers of his pa
jamas, ran to the home of a
neighbor, Gerald Hughes, after
brushing aside his father.
Mrs. Lasher was found fully
dressed in the kitchen of- the
Lasher's beautifully furnished
10-room house. Breakfast prep
arations apparently were being
made when she was shot in the
head.
In a second floor bedroom,
police found Mrs. Bryan. Her
body was on the floor. They
theorized that after she was shot
in the head she attempted to
leave her bed.
Dr. Lasher was found on the
stairs. Gehrig said the rifle was
at the foot of the staircase where
it apparently slid after Dr. Lash
er had placed the muzzle in his
mouth and pulled the trigger.

Book by Mclntire Tells
Story of Roosevelt Death
New York, Oct. 25 U.R) "It

picked up the telephone, and a broken, tear-choked voice in
formed me that the president was no more." The words are
those of Vice-Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, White House physician.

Mclntire submitted his de

charges that the president was

in 1944 and that he was "a sick

Mclntire's account for the
first time presented a minule-by-minute

ArmecT Forces
Buying Merged
Washington, Oct. 25 (IP) One
phase of army-navy merger be
came a reality with the disclo
sure that President Truman
has put all armed forces' buy
ing under a single and final au
thority. Army officials immediately
hailed the move privately as
"the best practicable solution"
short of actual unification.
Bitterly opposed by the navy,
full-scale merger would require
congressional action.
In that direction, the presi
dent already has indicated he
will renew his recommendation
for a single department com
bining the army, navy and air
forces when the lawmakers re
convene in January.
The new chief of army-navy

Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P. Anderson today appoint
ed an 11 -member national ad
visory committee to assist him
in setting up the department's
new research and marketing
program.
The program was okayed by
the last congress in an effort to
develop new outlets for farm
products and narrow the mar
gin between farm and retail
prices so the consumer's dollars
will buy more.
Anderson will be chairman
of the new committee which is
expected to hold its first meet
ing next month.
Members include H. E. Bab
cock, Ithaca, N.Y.; Robert Cok
er, Hartsville, S.C.; Charles F.
Kettering, Dayton, O.; Albert

ette, Ind.; Kerr Scott, Raleigh,
N.C.; and Fred Bailoy, John H.
Davis and C. W. Kitchen, all of
Washington.
Anderson said special com
mittees probably will be named
later to help research and mar
keting programs in specific
fields and commodities.
The program calls for gradu
ated expenditures starting with
$9,500,000 in 1947 and ranging
up to a total of $61,000,000 in
1951. It includes special funds
for slate research on these prob

Compromi -1
Rus.id Pending
Washington, Oct. 25 U.R) Dip
lomatic quarters saw a possibil
ity today that the United Stales
may offer Russia a compromise
on the knotty question of Man
churian war booty to assure sov
iet participation in a Japanese
reparations conference.
The compromise talk arose
after the Far Eastern commis
sion debated a conference call
at a heated two-hour meeting
yesterday but recessed without
a decision at the request of sov
iet delegates.
The Russians reportedly stood
firm on their threat to boycott
a reparations conference unless
Moscow were assured that mil
lions of industrial property
seized by the red army in Man
churia would not be deducted
from soviet reparation demands
on Japan.
Some Booty May Be Legal
The United States thus far
has flatly opposed the Russian
request. One diplomatic source,
however, suggested a compro
mise might be worked out on
the basis of classifying a cer
tain percentage of the seized
property as legitimate war booty
and hence not deductible. The
Far Eastern commission clamped
an unusual lid of secrecy on the
proceedings at its session yes
terday, declining even to issue
the formal communique ordi
narily made available after its
meetings.
A commission member, how
ever, said the session could be
described only as a "deadlock1
on efforts to call an immedi
ate Japanese reparations confer
ence.
American officials emphasized
that the conference must be
completed before even prelimi
nary discussions on peace terms
for Japan can be launched. They
said the reparations parley
would indicate the speed with
which the United State, Britain,
China, Russia and other nations
could agree on peace terms for
the defeated empire.
MacArthur Urges Haste
An early reparations settle,
ment has been urged by Gen,
Douglas MacArthur, supreme al
lied commander. MacArthur re
ported that his efforts to aid
reconstruction of Japan have
been hampered by failure to set
tle how much of its industrial
facilities are to be drained off
in reparations.
Meat Prices
Drop Slightly
Portland, Oct. 25 (IP) Experts
weren't agreed today on wheth
er consumer resistance had any
thing to do with it, but meat
prices were down slightly in
Portland today.
Some ascribed it toa slow
market plus increasing supply
at the stockyards, where prices
dipped in some instances to pre
vious OPA levels.
Reflecting this, beef to res
taurants was cut 5 cents a
pound.
The executive council of the
American veterans' committee
urged its members to join the
milk boycott "until the price re
turns to 16 cents." The pro
moters of the boycott, the affili
ated milk committees, called a
meeting for late today.
Restaurant prices generally
remained unchanged, owners
saying the situation was too
confused for appraisal now.
23 Nazi Doctors Indicted
Including Hitler's Physician
Nuernberg, Oct. 25 (U.R) War crimes prosecutors today an
nounced the indictment of 23 nazi doctors, including Adolf Hitler's
personal physician, on charges of mass murder in fantastic experi
ments on human guinea pigs at
concentration camps.
Only nine days after the Nu
ernberg executions, Brig. Gen.
Telford Taylor, chief prosecutor
for the next trials, revealed that
proceedings were under way in
volving 250 to 500 persons, in
cluding four nazi generals and
the indicated doctors.
The tribunal will be asked to
begin each trial 30 days after
the indictments arc served, Tay
lor said.
Dr. Karl Brandt, Hitler's phy
sician and 22 colleagues were ac
cused formally of war crimes
and crimes against humanity, in
cluding "murders, brutalities,
cruelties, tortures, atrocities and
other inhumane acts."
One specific charge in the in
dictment was that the doctors

While making it clear that

meeting of the general commit
tee after the soviet representa
tive formally demanded that the
items dealing with the veto be
stricken from the assembly's
provisional agenda.
Austin Stands on Right
Warren R. Austin, chief U. S.
delegate, declared the American
delegation felt that the assem
bly had a right to discuss any
matter within the scope of the
Charter and that it was clear
that the veto rights of the five
permanent members of the se
curity council came within the

Austin declared however, that

He said that regardless ot
what the American attitude

a complete airing would help to
"explain and clarify" the vot
ing provisions and clear up "ap
parent misunderstanding."
"We think it is important to
defeat this motion and to have
these items on the agenda," he
said.
Shawcross Backs Him
Austin was backed by Sir
Hartley Shawcross, British rep
resentative, who said the Brit

raised by the Soviet Union but
that this committee was not the

Shawcross urged that the

He added that Great Britain
"should be likely to oppose any
amendment to the Charter" but
that this committee has no right
to delete such items or take
positive action on them.
Paul Hasluck of Australia, in

objections were "without sub

Russian reference to solidarity,

Bread Going
Back to Normal
Washington, Oct. 25 VP) The
agriculture department today
revoked a government food or
der which required bakers to
cut the size of their bread loaves
10 percent to save wheat.
This requirement was put into
effect last winter during the
critical world food shortage.
The order also prohibited con
signment selling of bread and
bakery products as well as bak
ery acceptance of unsold bakery
products. It also required bak
ers to enrich white bread and
rolls.
Officials said they expected
most bakeries to continue vol
untarily to enrich many of their
products,
The ban on consignment sell
ing of bread and acceptance of
unsold products was designed
to conserve sales as well as de
livery facilities.
The department said the or
der was revoked because of im
proved supply of cereal grains
and because of President Tru
man's announced policy of ac
celerating government decon
trols of foods.
The department also cancelled
a number of other food orders,
including a delegation of author
ity to the OPA to ration meats,
fats, oils, cheese and processed
foods because non of these items
are now rationed.
However, the OPA retains au
thority to ration sugar.
Morse Again
Blames Regime
Atlantic City, N.J., Oct. 25 (U.R)
Government control and di
rection of industry will become
a necessity if industrial and
labor problems continue to be
referred to the administration,
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.),
warned last night.
Morse told a convention of
the International Association of
Ice Cream Manufacturers that
the nation must substitute "truly
free collective bargaining for
the purely political bargaining
so prevalent today."
"If you continue to exhort the
government for solution of your
problems, that government is
going to have to control and
direct your industry," he said.
The former member of the
war labor relations board as
serted that "it is dangerous to
give to men on any tribunal the
power to decide hours, wages
and the conditions of employ
ment." "Watch out for legislation
striving to impose government
restrictions on wages, hours and
employment conditions that are
problems for the socialist in
volving the whole standard of
living," he warned.
