What Month-Long Coal Strike
JAeant in Lay-offs, Hardships
Pittsburgh. March 7 (U.ft Here's what the month-lone nen-
eral strike by 372,000 United Mine workers and the resulting
coal shortage cost the nation in industrial lay-offs and other
hardshiDs: I
J Unemployment 600,000 idle, including the miners, and another
200,000 working only two to
four days a week,
Steel Production fell below
50 per cent in the Pittsburgh
district, steel capital of the
world. Jones and Laughlin
closed down, idling 23,000 men.
Carnegie-Illinois was operating
at 53 per cent of capacity. Doz
ens of other mills, including
Kaiser-Frazer at Fontana, Calif.,
banked furnaces and worked
part-itime. The overall rate for
the nation was about 70 per cent
last week.
Automobiles More than
40,000 cars were lost as a result
of the coal shortage. Overtime
work was eliminated. Packard
was prepared to close Thursday
if the strike continued. Inter
national Harvester cut back pro
duction of tractors and other
farm implements.
Emergencies Seven states
declared states of emergencies
and New York and Virginia
governors were empowered to
seize and ration existing stocks.
Illinois was prepared to take
similar action and the governors
of Maine, Vermont and New
Hampshire appealed to president
Truman for action before they
were forced to take drastic steps.
Rationing The coal short
age put unprecedented demands
on natural gas supplies and fuel-
starved utility companies were
hard put to keep electrical out
put constant. All "emergency'
states declared at least partial
brownouts. Pittsburgh's power
supplier ordered a 50 per cent
cut in consumption by all cus-
tomrs. The East Ohio Gas Co,
shut off 170 industrial customers.
Railroads More than 60,000
employes were idle and coal-
burning passenger traffic cut to
35 per cent of normal, freight
traffic 60 per cent.
Schools 250,000 public and
parochial schobl students were
forced to take a "vacation." In
Buffalo, 124,000 Were affected
100,000 in Indiana, 10,000 in
Michigan, 3,000 in Ohio, 1,000
in Wisconsin and several thou
sand more in other scattered
closings.

'Mechanical Umpire Replaces
Taster in Testing Vegetables
By BARMAN W. NICHOLS
(United Preu 8tatl Correspondent! .
Washington, March 7 J.R) In the old days they did it like this:
A tester in California bit into a string, or snap, bean and said
'Ah. ho good!" Maybe he had been smoking a sour cigar. A
tester in New York, who didn't smoke, sank a fore-tooth into a
bean from the same patch and said, "Best raw bean I ever tasted."
The market in those davs
went up and down according
to taste.
Times are changing. Thanks
to the work being done by the
school of agriculture at the Uni
versity of Maryland. The scien
tists there have done everything
but eliminate the tongue and
nose when it comes to classify
ing vegetables.
We now have what Dr. Ami
hud Kramer, professor in horti
culture, likes to refer to as a
"mechanical umpire."
Actually, it adds lip to a lot
of umpires. Mechanized think
ers which tell us whether a split
pea is grade A or B. If an apple
is fit to eat or Would make a
good pie.
All of this is cauculated to
help the farmer, the canner, and
the housewife.
The machines grade the stuff,
without any help from humans.
Head of Zionists
Dies in New York
New York, March 7 VP) Dan
iel Frisch, 52, president Of the
Zionist organization of America,
died today.
Frisch, a retired New York
City business man died at Co
lumbia Presbyt e r 1 a n medical
center shortly before 2 a.m.
(EST). He underwent an oper
ation yesterday.
Active in the Zionist move
ment for about 30 years, he was

29, 1049.
Funeral services will be held

be sent to Indianapolis, where he
formerly lived.
Frisch is survived by his wi
dow, Tillle; a son, Lazur SaUl, a
student at .the University of
California, and a daughter, Mrs.
Marvin Bacaner of Boston.
Frisch was born in Targu
Frumds, Romania, Sept. 21,

Roy Berryman of Prince Ru

ry Clinton Jackson. Scotts Mills,
who was driving towards Salem.
Driver of the other automobile
was Mrs. Meta M. Massey, Sll
verton. Her husband George T.
Massey, was a passenger.
State police Investigated the
accident but neither driver was
cited. The automobiles were
virtually demolished
The research has been going
on at the university for a long
time and the developments are
turned over to the United
States department of agricul
ture with no strings attached up
the way of patents. It's public
domain from the start. Manufac
turers can dip their lunchhooks
in for free but they can't ring
tin cash register on the work.
The farmer benefits because
he takes his stuff to the market
and gets paid for whatever
"grade" he hauls in. Take sweet
corn. The university has per
fected a gimmick which grades
the corn. Some canneries al
ready are using it. A farmer
hauls his stuff into the drive
way and a man takes a couple
of sample ears. He whittles
them off and puts the kernels
into a cup and puts the squeeze
on 'em. Then he takes the juice
and puts it into a test tube. If
the tube fills up high, the farm
er has brought in sweet, young
corn. He gets graded for good
stuff and is paid off handsome
ly. The canner learns, right
there, that hehas a good corn on
hand and decides to 'deep-freeze
it by the ear for a better profit.
The farmer made more, the can
ner made more and in th
grading process, the housewife
knows what she's paying for.

Blast Cuts Oil
Natural Gas Line
Springfield, Mo., March 7 W)
An explosion and fire wrecked
a pumping station today, leav
ing this city of 75,000 without
a natural gas supply.
Approximately 7,300 homes

the pumping station a relay
booster plant and a nearby
gasoline service station. No one
was Injured.
C. Nick Sprang, general man
ager of city utilities, said he
hoped the break could be repair
ed in several hours but that it
might be several days before the
gas flow could be resumed.
The weather forecast calls for
a drop in temperatures tonight
to 35 or 40 degrees; Gas to hos
pitals and similar institutions
will be turned on first, Sprong
said.
The Cities Service company
is Springfield's sole supplier of
natural gas.
Oregon Man Reports
Jap Kids Like Wheat
Pendleton, Ore., March 7 U.R)
Edward J. Bell, administrator
for the Oregon wheat commis
sion, returned here during the
week end after more than three
months on an official tour of the
far east studying potential wheat
markets.
Bou left Pendleton Nov. 15
under the joint auspices of the
Oregon wheat commission and
the U. S. department of agricul
ture. He visited eight countries,
including a talk with Gen
Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo,
and traveled 27,000 miles.
"It's quite difficult to get the
Japanese people, that is the old
er people, Interested in eating
wheat products," he said. "The
younger generation, however, is
taking to it readily. The young
kids see American soldiers about
a foot taller, and they figure
that bread is doing It."
Bell will go to Washington
later this month to make his of
ficial report.

Tito Tells Yugoslavs
No Appeal to Moscow

(U,RiPremler Marshall Tito has

tiate" to achieve peace with Yugoslavia.

He rejected a report circulat
ing abroad that Moscow and Bel
grade were seeking a reconcilia
tion.
"In the west today some are
saying that we are making some
accommodations with Moscow
because in Uzice (where Tito
made a speech a few dayS ago)
I lashed out against all those
who are slandering us," Tito
said.
"Of course, this is also a
maneuver. I do not know whs
started the story. If someone
wishes to negotiate then this first
to make a move must be the
one who started the quarrel."
