The pick ets persuaded them that only a full scale strike could break the deadlocked contract dispute. The wildcat walkouts were the biggest protest against a Lewis work order since May, 1946, when more than 85,000 Pennsylvania miners ignored Lewis' call for a two-week truce in the contract strike. However, many of the striking miners said they believed Lewis actually wanted a complete shutdown now, but did not call it because it might result in Taft-Hartley injunction proceedings against him and the union. Hardest hit was western Penn sylvania, where 25,000 of the districts 50,000 workers were idle. An estimated 10,000 of Ohio's 16,000 soft coal miners refused to cross picket lines.

The pope received the execu tives and two officials of the European Cooperative Adminis tration in private audience. He spoke with them in English. "This year," he said, "we fond ly hope and pray, will mark a great return of the world to God through Christ. And this return, if accomplished, is going to be along the path of truth. "Can you advance this noble enterprise? Assuredly yes, be cause truth needs a voice. And the most potent voice reaching the general public today is still that of the press. 'Who does not know that a journalist can deliberately falsi fy facts, or by lifting them out of their context can distort their true mcanlng or can suppress truth that in justice clamors to be heard? "And the net result is that the masses are misled, human tra gedy is incurred, and civil strife and even wars are engendered, simply because an unworthy member of your profession for one reason or another has been recreant to his grave responsi bilities to truth."

(AP Wlrephoto) Weekly Editor Gets Jailed For Calling Justice 'Bad Names' Grand Ledge, Mich., Jan. 23 tor who feuded editorially with a justice of the peace was Jailed Saturday for contempt of court. But Editor Frank C. Weinert didn't figure on staying long "al though there are some nice people in this jail." Habeas corpus papers were en route before tne- jail doors swung on mm at Charlotte, Mich. The 40-year-old newspaper man was sented to 10 days by Justice Charles F. Young, who said Weinert had printed "scur rilous editorials about me and used insulting language in court." He also fined him $25. This was the second time Weinert was sentenced by Young, who holds court in his antique shop in this town of 4000. On January 13, Weinert and the town's police chief, William Carter, were held in contempt and given 10 days In jail and $50 fines. But Young, who never studied law, made a mistake in the sen tence. The law allows only a $25 fine, so the pair didn't go to jail. Saturday the 70-year-old jus tice had Weinert hauled into court on a criminal warrant for contempt. A constable arrested him at the office of the Grand Ledge Reminder, a weekly tab loid. The judge took no new action against Carter. If he had, the Grand Ledge police force would have been cut In half. Young accused Carter of "call ing me bad names." But Wein ert and Carter had their own versions for their arrest. "He's sore because we raided the place where he played cards and we won't give him any of our business on traffic arrests, carter said. Weinert had written edi torials criticizing Young's "grab bag justice," administered among dusty dishes and antique furni hire.

(U.R) A weekly newspaper edi Opened Vaults With Pen Knives Boston, Jan. 23 CP) Detec tives Investigating a $1,500,000 raid on Brink's Armored Vaults expressed the belief today that the bandits used nail files or penknives to open six doors to the cashier's cage. They switched their theory that the gunmen used a pass key or master key after Special Of ficer Arthur Ahem opened a half a dozen locks with a fin gernail file and penknife. The demonstration was given last night on new locks installed at the company's raided garage vaults. Ahem said, however, that the old locks could have been opened just as easily. Ahem tried his experiment after noticing scratches on a door leading into the building 'The test of locks became a farce after a while," Ahem said. "We were all able to open them all six doors." Detective said they opened door after door by simply in serting a nail file or blade of penknife through the crack between the door and the frame and sliding the tongue of the lock. Police Commissioner Thomas F. Sullivan and Police Superin tended Edward W. Fallon wit nessed the demonstration. When Ahem opened the last door barring the way to the firm's vaults, Sullivan describ ed the security as "outrageous."

Then placing a pound of oleomar garine nearby the speaker charged that there was but nine cents worth of oil in the pack age of oleo. The entire process of manufacture is mechanized, he charged.

I am afraid we are sitting In ringside seats watching the col lapse of a large industry," was Hagg's warning as he admitted that the dairymen probably had been too prone to bring their problems to the attention of the general public.

Jan. 23 W.R) The big noises of the musicians' union opened for business today country's fanciest office building. The building has pink pillars, and executives' desks built to suit There isn't a union in the country that has offices like this," Kelly Shugart, a union representative, said. "In fact, this is a better looking building than the bosses have." The union unveiled its $500,- 000 headquarters with a party for 15,000 guests, a 12-hour con tinuous television broadcast, a transcontinental radio show featuring Bob Hope, Bing Cros by and Lionel Barrymore, and a platform across Vine street to accommodate the fans. We've been saving up for this," Shugart said proudly, "for 55 years. We started over a ci gar store. Now we are up to the caliber of management." As a result, the union hopes it may be able to talk more money out of them. It makes them feel better coming to a fine place like this to negotiate," Shugart explain ed. "We felt embarrassed and at a disadvantage before." The saffron yellow building, backed up to a movie studio in the heart of Hollywood, has a pink-pillared lobby, a tropical patio, and a plush 700-seat audi torium on the main floor. Sound-proof rehearsal halls and rumpus room, also sound proof, are in the basement. On the second floor are the wood-panelled offices, including one with a circular desk for President J. K.

For instance, the president's completely sur rounds him." The Los Angeles local, second only to New York's In size, has 14,500 members. The money for the building was saved from dues of $1 a month and $50 in itiation fee. The national union head James Petrillo, was invited to the opening but didn't come. "Hes a great negotiator," Shugart explained, "but h e doesn't particularly take an in terest." Flood Centers On Lower River (By the Associated Press) The major midwest flood threat had centered today along the lower Mississippi river where It already had driven an estimat ed 3,500 lowland dwellers from their homes. The stream was running bank- full and slowly rising but U.S. army engineers said they expect ed the crest to roll safely on providing the area escapes any heavy rains. At Cairo, 111., where the Ohio river empties into the Missis sippi, the city counted itself vir tually out of flood danger. Al though still 15 feet above tech nical flood stage, the stream had dropped about a foot since Friday, easing pressure on the levees. The flooding was mostly in three counties of upper west Tennessee, described as low lands which are overflowed nearly every year. Weather in the area today brought some measure of com fort to those threatened by i further rise as the crest swept downstream. Temperatures were mud over all the southern two- thirds of the nation and the only precipitation was a harmless light drizzle at some points. A narrow band of subnormal cold lay across the northern edge of the country. In parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota the mer cury was well below zero. Pem bina, N.D., was the coldest spot with a -16. Snow continued falling today in northern Montana, the Da kotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. It was light, how ever, except along Lake Su perior and in upper Michigan.

Sidetrack FEPC For Alaska Bill Washington, Jan. 23 (U.R) Speaker Sam Rayburn announc ed that the house will take up the Alaskan statehood bill today and not the politically hot FEPC bill. Rayburn told newsmen he thought it would be better for the house to consider another bill ahead of FEPC because FEPC was a major factor in last week's heated but unsuc cessful effort to change house rules. The FEPC bill is the keystone of President Truman's civil rights program which Is distaste ful to southern democrats, In cluding Rayburn who Is a Texan. Rayburn, as speaker, could have recognized Chairman John Leslnskl, (D., Mich.), of the house labor committee who wanted to bring up the FEPC bill. But he decided instead that he would recognize Chair man J. Hardin Peterson, Fla.), of the public lands com mittee to present the Alaskan statehood bill. This maneuver sidetracked house consideration of the con troversial FEPC bill until at least Feb. 13, but more likely until an even later date. Commission Sent Denfeld Washington, Jan. 23 Wl- -Sec- retary of the Navy Matthews said today that a White House aide. without his knowledge, delivered to Adm. Louis s. Denfeld a com mission for a second term chief of naval operations last Sept. 14. He contends that this did not constitute an "official issuance'1 of the commission to Denfeld, and has no legal significance. Matthews made this argument in a letter to Chairman Tydlngs (D., Md.) of the senate armed services committee, dated Jan 23. Tydlngs placed the letter be fore the senate. It marked another round in the row that has been going on over whether Denfeld was legal ly ousted as chief of naval op erations last Nov. 1, and wheth er Adm. Forrest P. Sherman was legally appointed to succceed him. Matthews had testified to the armed services some two weeks ago that Denfeld was not fired that he was merely passed by for reappointment. Later, Senator McCarthy (R Wis.) displayed In the senate what he described as a photo graphic copy of Denfeld's com mission, signed by Matthews and President Truman, and good un til 1951.
