More Industrial Plants Closed, More
Trains Cancelled Due to Lack of Coal
Chicago, Feb. 10 U.R) At least 3,000 more railroadmen and
industrial workers were laid off today as their companies can
celled trains and shut down plants to save coal until the miners
return to work.
At Boston, Mayor Joseph Mruk said the city would have to
declare a "brown-out," closing down all theaters, cafes and other
non-essential users, unless householders cut coal consumption dras
tically. Gov. Paul A. Dever declared a "coal emergency" through
out Massachusetts.
But the first actual "brown-out," at Lansing, Mich., was fail
ing due to lack of cooperation. Householders went along with a
city request to dim lights but most business firms failed to switch
off advertising signs.
Indiana Cities Urged To Order Brown-Outs
Indiana Labor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson appealed to
the state's cities to order similar brown-outs but Gov. Henry
S-"hricker said he considered the request as "premature" because
only a few cities were suffering critical shortages.
Railroads were hastening to comply with an interstate com
merce commission order giving them permission to reduce sched
ules. The New York Central railroad dropped 39 trains, bringing
the total cancelled this month to 233. The Long Island railroad
lopped 5,000 miles of coal-using runs from its schedule in addition
to a previous 9,000 mile cut. The Central of New Jersey cut off 43
scheduled runs, the Lehigh Valley two, the Reading 14, the Sea
shore lines 18, the Delaware and Hudson 16, and the Lackawanna
six. 1
In the midwest, the Chicago and Rock Island railroad dropped

Unemployment in Jackson

its highest peak since the 1930's,
the local state employment serv

The report said that cold

Throughout the land today, 559,000 persons were idled by
two big strikes. About 400,000 soft coal workers were off the job
due to the United Mine Workers strike and the coal shortage laid
off at least 40,000 more.
A strike by the CIO United Auto Workers against Chrysler
corporation idled 125,000 persons, directly or indirectly. Union
and company representatives met today for the second time since
the strike began.
At Mishawaka, Ind., 3,100 employees of the Ball Band division
of U. S. Rubber company went on
a male worxer wun a woman, rne mo rubber workers saia it
would "go down the line" to support the strikers.
Communications Union Eyes One-Day Strike
Meanwhile, the president of the CIO Communications Workers
of America said his union would aim for a one-day strike if 100,000
telephone installers and repairmen walk out on schedule February
24. The strike eventually could involve 420,000 workers and might
tie up the national communications system.
At Evanston, 111., Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, president of the Wom

years.
At the end of the month, un
employment was estimated at
3.800 in the county, including
500 women and 900 veterans.
This is 68 per cent over Decem
ber, and represents unemploy
ment of approximately 17 per
cent of the total labor force in
the county. Those at work Jan
uary 31 were estimated at
18,700.
At least half of the present un
employment was attributed to
the January storms, the office
said, and will disappear when
ever the weather moderates. Ex
cept for the weather layoffs,
emplpyment appears to be about
normal for the time of year, the
report continued.
Correspondence received by
the employment office indicates
that considerable migration into
the county can be expected dur
ing 1950. The increase in popu
lation from migration will prob
ably continue as it has in recent
years, to outstrip any increase
in local job opportunities, and
the employment service said
that this fact is expected to con
tinue as a complicating factor in
the county job situation.

strike to protest replacement of
Rome, Feb. 10 (U.R) Roberto
Rossellini hastened to the bed
side of Ingrid Bergman before
dawn today to tell her that Mex
ico had granted her a divorce
and they are free to marry.
An attorney in Mexico said
the Swedish actress and her
Italian director may wed tomor
row. But legal technicalities
could delay the marriage for as
long as a year.
Declaration Needed
Christian Gunther, Swedish
minister to Italy, said Miss Berg
man could not be married in
Italy for at least three weeks. He
said the actress would need a
declaration from the Swedish le
gation that she was free to
marry.
"That declaration can only be
issued when Swedish laws are
satisfied, and it will take at
least three weeks before Miss
Bergman's Mexican divorce can
be registered in Sweden," he
said. "I cannot issue the required
statement until Stockholm has
advised me it is legally possible."
He said that procedure was
required by Italian as well as
Swedish laws.
Eager To Marry
They were believed eager to
marry as soon as possible so that
Rossellini could be registered le
gally as the father of Miss Berg
man's eight-day-old son. Rossel
lini disclosed that he was the
father February 4, two days after
the baby's birth.
Legally, the birth should be
registered within 10 days. The
period expires Sunday, however,
and thus automatically is ex
tended until Monday. The law
provides no penalty for a delay
in registration and the justice
ministry could authorize an ex
tension. Girls Flee School
To Avoid Beatings
Oklahoma City. Okla., Feb. 10
(U.R) One of eight girls who ran
away from the State Training
School for Negroes at Taft,
Okla., claimed today that the
matron often laid aside her
Bible to beat inmates with a fan
belt.
The girls escaped Wednesday
night following a riot Tuesday.
Four surrendered to county ju

The others were found in Tulsa
and returned to the institution.
Iola Johnson, 17, said Mrs. C.
M. Clayton, matron at the cor

often.
The matron, she said, "would
read the Bible and then put it
down and beat us with a fan

'Doctor Boycotts'
Against Insurance
Groups Described
Rebuttal Phase
Of Case Underway
Portland, Ore., Feb. 10 (U.R)
Two officials ot prepaid med
ical associations testified that
there were "doctor boycotts"
against the commercial organiza
tions they represent as the re
buttal phase got under way in
the government's anti-trust suit
against the Oregon Medical so
ciety, other doctor groups and
individual physicians.

witnesses, Ray Brunkow, general
manager of the Industrial Hos
pital association, and C. C. Bech
told, gcneial manager of the na
tional association, both testified
in the government's rebuttal yes
terday. The government is trying to
prove the doctor groups have
whipped their members into line
and have conspired to run the
commercial hospital associations
out of business. The doctors have
denied the charges.
Still In Existence
On questioning by Philip Mar
cus, head counsel for the gov
ernment, Brunkow said that
"most emphatically there are
doctor boycotts" still in exist
ence against the IHA. Bechtold
backed up Brunkow's statement.
Brunkow testified that the
manager of a large new mill in
southwestern Oregon acknowl
edged the Industrial Hospital as
sociation plan for his employees
was "the most generous re
ceived." But the manager turned
down the association's plan,
Brunkow said, "because doctors
in the community would not take
our tickets." Brunkow did not
identify the mill or the manager.

Full Confession
To Meeting Russ
Agents Obtained
Valuable Secrets
Passed To Soviets
London, Feb. 10 U.PJ For
seven years Dr. Klaus Fuchs,
Britain's third ranking atomic
scientist, betrayed vital Amer
ican and British A-bomb secrets
to Russia, it was revealed today
in Bow street magistrate's court.
Fuchs' arraignment on
charge of violating the official
secrets act, brought out that he
had made a full confession to
meeting Russian agents in Bos
ton, New York and London
where he betrayed Britain and
me united states.
Workings Passed On
The information he passed on
to Russia included the workings
of the great American atomic
bomb center at Los Alamos, N.M.
Whether he passed on progress
reports on American research on
the hydrogen bomb was not dis
closed.
But American atomic experts
have said he knew these secrets.
Magistrate Sir Lawrence
Dunne ordered the German-born,
British-naturalized scientist held
for trial in Old Bailey. If con
victed, he will face a maximum
sentence of 14 years in prison.
t uclis' signed confession,
which was read into evidence.
said he deliberately made him
self into a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" personality so that he
might, as "Dr. Jekyll" work
with top American and British
scientists on the atomic bombi
and then as a communistic "Mr.
Hyde" betray their secrets to
Russia.
Acted Voluntarily
The Jammed courtroom was
rapt as Crown Prosecutor Christ,
mas Humphreys and prosecution
witnesses revealed that the
slight, 38-year-old Fuchs had ad
mitted that he:
1, Voluntarily contacted So
viet agents through a member
of the communist party in 1942,
immediately after he went to
work for the British government
on atomic research. He was
then a convinced but secret com
munist. ,
2. Gave Soviet agents not
only the results of his own work,
but the findings of his colleagues
and "anything else of value
which he could learn."
Questioning Permitted
3. Met Soviet agents in Lon
don, New York and Beston.
fiave them secret documents and
et them question him at irregu
lar meetings from mid-1942 un
til about a year ago, when he
first began to have doubts about
Soviet policy.
4. Accepted $400 from the
Russians but only as a "sign of
his subservience ' to the com
munist cause. On one occasion,
he personally took atomic sec
rets to the Soviet embassy in
London.
For security reasons, the In
formation passed on by Fuchs
was not disclosed. But Hum
phreys described it variously as
of "the greatest possible help to
Russia" and of "the greatest
possible value to an enemy." ,

tion of faith In God began at 7
p.m. Wednesday during a regu
lar weekly meeting. The revival
gained new fervor during the
night and swelled to such pro
portions Thursday that college
classes were cancelled. The
students and about 150 faculty
members, including famed Miler
Gil Dodds, left only to eat and
take short naps.
Gather In Groups
The college, a non - sectarian
school, clocked the revival at
38 hours and five minutes. How
ever, it ran about a half an
hour beyond the time Edman
announced that no further testi
mony would be heard. Students
gathered in groups to pray as
college chapel was ended.
Many of the students paused
only for a quick breakfast and
then attended the regular morn
ing church service at 10:15 a.m.
The faculty said classes would
be resumed after the services. -
