iSfrike Resumed
London, Dee. 15 VP) A
three-day wildcat strike In state-
fewned power plants flared back
lo life today hours after It ap
peared settled.
The 2,700 strikers voted this
morning to resume work today,
with nothing gained from their
wage protest.
But workers at three of the
four struck plants failed to go
sack as scheduled.
The British electricity author-
fty had posted notices telling
he men they were returning
'unconditionally." Strikers said
the word was too broad and they
(would go back only "under
terms existing before the walk
lUt." Strike leaders said the situa
tion now was a "lockout" by
fen organ of the labor govern
ment rather than an unauthor
ized walkout.
Soldiers and sailors remained
bn their jobs in the three
plants. They were called out by
the labor government to keep
the plants in operation.
The strike had caused jam-
kips on London subways and left
thousands of households with
tittle current for normal cook'
ng and heating. i

Kodiak Enters
Story of Russia
Washington, Dec. 15 VP)
Kodiak entered the controversy
over wartime airplane cargoes
to Russia via Alaska last night,
Radio Commentator Fulton
Lewis, Jr., who started the cur
rent furore with a broadcast
by an officer who was linked
with the Russian lend-lease plane
route at Great Falls, Mont., had
a former navy chief petty of
ficer on his program last night,
He told of lend-lease traffic via
Kodiak during the war.
(There never have been any
publicized previous reports of
any lend-lease plane traffic to
Russia via Kodiak. All reported
traffic was via the Fairbanks
Nome route).
The ex-petty officer reported
that he identified "a blueprint
of the uranium atomic struc
ture" hidden in a bag of para
chutes on an American lend
lease plane bound for Russia.
Royall Edward Norton, 29,
now a GI student at Clemson
college in South Carolina, made
the statement in a recorded
broadcast on a program with
Lewis.
Norton said he was stationed
at Kodiak, Alaska, and was in
charge of inspecting and reload
ing U. S. lend-lease planes.

Grains Rescued

Chicago, Dec. 15 VP) Grains
were rescued from a downward
path today when news of poten
tial export business developed.
Prices recovered in most cases,
but still hung a little under the
previous close.
The report news concerned
monetary grants by the econom
ic cooperation administration to
western Germany and requests
for flour offers by the produc
tion and marketing administra
tion, the government agency
which buys flour for export.

Heavy Mailing
For Christmas
Mailing of Christmas packages
and greetings is proceeding in an
orderly manner and the crew at
the Salem post office has been
able to handle the rush without
difficulty, reports Postmaster Al
bert S. Gragg.
It is expected the peak of the
outgoing matter will be reached
this weekend and that of the in
coming parcels by Thursday or
Friday of next week.
Cancellations of approximate
ly 90,000 Wednesday were ap
proximately 10,000 short of a
similar date a year ago. Use of
the several contract offices op-
crating in West Salem, Keizer,
Four Corners, Hollywood and on
South Commercial has cut down
the congestion at the main of
fice to a considerable extent,
states Gragg.
These contract offices .handle
parcel post packages as well as
letters.
Use of the two cent stamp on
unsealed Christmas greetings has
been accepted on the part of the
general public and few of the 1 14
cent variety have shown up so
far.
Hocking Tells
About Europe
Whether we like it or
not,
the fortunes of this country are
inexplicably tied up with those
of England, France and other
nations of the world. This opin
ion of Dr. George Hocking of
Willamette university, was ex
pressed during an address be
fore the Salem Lions club
Thursday noon.
Dr. Hocking, with experience
of many years in Europe and
England before the war, spent
much of last summer in France
and London. He left France
with the feeling that the people
there have grown fatalistic and
are living for today only. "When
a Frenchman spends his money
as fast as he earns it, there has
been a radical change in his
thinking," said Dr. Hocking.
Dr. Hocking said he found
conditions in London fairly nor
mal insofar as a visitor is con
cerned. However, he realizes
that the natives are "extremely
tired. They have had to take so
much since the start of the sec
ond world war, they have grown
accustomed to hardships."

La Grande, Dec. 15 VP)

out today from under five n-
cnes of snow, to tne annoyance
of everybody but the small fry
They were delighted. A hill
has been roped off for sledding
In the wake of the season's
heaviest snowfall.
Four people In Elgin and La
Grande were hurt In tumbles on
icy pavements. Harold Hug, 56,
caretaker for the Elgin public
schools, was brought here for
surgery after suffering internal
injuries while shoveling snow.

Ask Truman to
Go After Lewis
Washington, Dec. 15 (P)
Southern soft coal operators to
day asked President Truman
either to use the Taft-Hartley
act to get full coal production
or prosecute John L. Lewis'
miners on anti-trust charges.
In a seven-page letter to the
president, Joseph E. Moody of
Southern Coal Producers asso
ciation suggested that if present
laws do not cover the three-day
week decreed by Lewis, then
Mr. Truman should ask con
gress for new legislation.
"There is a strike in progress
today in the coal industry,"
Moody said. He added that the
Taft Hartley law did not contem
plate that the government should
remain inactive until the Indus-
$1.

d
try was "prostrate and the na
tional economy completely dis
rupted." Moody said present mining sit
uation "is described by the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America as
a three-day work week, but the
men, under orders from their
president, are working three
days and are on strike for the
remainder of the work week."
"In other words the miners
are refusing to work while the
mines are open and the operat
ors are offering work," Moody
said.
