Bushy-browed John L. , Lewis
took the center of the stage to
day in the mounting drama
whose final act may bring a
strike in the nation's ' war-vital
bituminous coal mines.
Lewis called his United Mine
Workers policy committee into
a late afternoon session for what
spokesman called a "full dress
rehearsal" on the wage demands
that the mine chieftain will pre

termine whether they want to
strike in event a .satisfactory
wage settlement is not reached.
The UMW demands will not
be made public before they are
presented to the operators. But
they are known to cover wages,
working conditions, mine safety,
veterans rights and anticipated
postwar problems.
In his presentation speech,
Lewis was expected to make a
fresh attack upon government
policies, including the little
steel wage stabilization formula.
The formula prohibits general
wage increases of more than 15
per cent above the January 1941
level.

LEARN RADAR IN THE NAVY
Proper for a prosperous future In th Peacetime
field of radio, television electronlcsl
By James F. Fowler
United Press Correspondent
Washington, Ga., Feb. .28
(U.R) Lt. Frank Colley was
home today.
Behind were two years of
filth and hunger in a German
prison camp. Before him was a
good meal and a long rest.
Those, he, said, were the most
important things in the world
for the present moment.
"I'd like to tell everyone who
has relatives or friends who are
prisoners to send them food,
more food and still more food,"
he said.
"Those Americans are hun
gry." . Captured In Tunisia
Lt. Colley was captured in
Tunisia on Feb. 17, 1943, after
three days of bitter fighting at
raid Pass. Exactly two years
later he arrived in Moscow, en
route home after the Red army
overran the camp in Poland
where he was held prisoner.
"Almost all the boys get
along. They exist. But in two
years there was never a day I
wasn't hungry. I was always
cold. Time was like a huge
weight on my shoulders.
"They fed us all right. You
got ersatz coffee for breakfast,
without sugar or milk, boiled
cauliflower leaves for lunch and
a sort of spaghetti stew for din
ner that's all. You had no
cooks, and they tossed' the food
in so you fixed it any way you
could.
Americans Ingeniui
"You set up a mess. The
American is an ingenius guy
and out of cans and wire he im
provises stoves and cooking fa
cilities. The Germans didn't
help In our camp and didn't
give us anything to work with.
"Once a guy is tuned down
to the fact that he Is a prisoner,
he sobers up and plods along
from day to day.
'At first the Germans
wouldn't let us have a church.
Then we managed to meet to
gether and we were our own
chaplains. A guy learns to pray
in one of those places.
Little Things Hardest
"The average American can
stand the daily routine. He
learns to keep himself busy.
Hardest of all are the little
things. The guards come in any
time of day or night and make
you stand for a count. Every
day, two or three times a day
there Is a formation for count
ing. They listen all the time,
always around.
"Being around the Germans
for two years even as a pris
oner of war gives a guy a pret
ty fair idea of what kind of man
the nazi is."
"They lie. they steal and they
treat other, men like does," he
said. ,
Lt. Colley. 29. looks much
older.
"There Is no such thing as a
pleasant prisoner of war camo.
There's too much despondency,"
ne said.
