Turncoat Receives
o
Week's Delay for
Talk With Lawyer
San Francisco (U.Rj Turn
coat William Cowart has been
granted a week's postponement
of his pretrial hearing on
charges of aiding the enemy
(while a prisoner of war in North
Korea.
A Sixth Army spokesman said
(Friday the delay was granted to
give the former American soldier
a chance to confer with his civil
ian attorney, Donald A. Clark of
Monticello, Ark.
To Determine Evidence
A pretrial hearing is similar
to a civilian grand Jury hearing
hold to determine if there is
enough evidence to warrant an
(indictment.
Cowart, Otho Bell, Hillsboro,
Miss., and Lewis Griggs, Jack
sonville, Tex., elected to go to
(Communist China after.the Ko
rean War then recently changed
'(their minds and asked to be al
lowed to return to their home
land. A hearing for Bell is set tenta
tively for Monday and one for
Griggs the following week.
To Rule on Jurisdiction
In a .case similar to the one
against the three turncoats, Fed
eral Judge Louis E. Goodman
has agreed to rule whether civil
ian or military courts hold juris
diction. I
The Sixth Army spokesman
said the Army is proceeding
against the three turncoats on
the assumption the military will
have jurisdiction.
He said that article 3A of the
Uniform Code of Military Jus
ticegives the" military jurisdic
tion for certain offenses, includ
ing those charged against the
trio, even though the defendants
have been discharged from the
service

Wage Boost for Coal Miners

Unusual Accident

No one was injured and a
house sustained minor damage
early Saturday morning when a
car ran off the road and into the
side of an unoccupied building.
State police said Vernal Gar-
dell Richards, 53, of 211 West
Main st. was driving on Berry
Q dale ave. His car sideswiped a
main box, the door swung open
and Richards' wife Mabel fell

Washington (U.R) John L.
Lewis has won a hefty $2-a-day
pay hike for his soft coal miners
in a secret agreement with
Northern coal producers, in
formed sources said Saturday.
These sources said the agree
ment was reached between
Lewis and top-level officials of
the Bituminous Coal Operators
Assn. which bargains for the
major segment of the soft coal
industry, including the so-called
"captive", mines owned by the
big steel companies. Officials of
both sides, however, refused to
comment on the report.
Informed sources said Lewis
might be expected in the near
future to serve a similar pay in
crease demand on the southern
gains for most Southern coal pro
Coal Operators Assn., which bar-ducers.
The sources said the new
agreement provides for a $1.20-per-day
increase on Sept. 1 and
another 80 cents on April 1.
1956, boosting the UMW . basic
wage to $20.25 a day. The agree
ment, they said, also provides
other contract improvements.
Spectacular Comeback
The increase would mean a
spectacular comeback on the
wage front for Lewis and his
United Mine Workers. Their last
wage increase was in 1952
$1.90 but their pay still ranks
with wage rates in the auto and
steel industries.
The $1.20 increase alone
would be the equivalent of the
15-cent hourly pay increase won
by the CIO Steelworkers in a
pace-setting settlement last July
1.
The agreement also was said
to call for improved vacation
pay and for overtime pay for
Saturday work and double time
pay for Sunday work. It was said
to run to Aug. 31, 1956.
Same Strategy
The sources said Lewis appar
ently is using the same strategy
he succeeded with in 1951. That
year, he also secretly negotiated
an agreement with the Northern
producers and then used it to
get Southern producers to fall in
line.
The UMW contract has been
subject to re-opening since Aug.
1, 1953. But neither side made
any public move to do so. Lewis
"sat out" the round of. wage in
creases in 1953 and 1954, appar
ently because of the coal indus
try depression.
But soft coal production has
picked up this year, particularly
the nation's steel mills. In the
first 7V'2 months of this year,
total production was 21 per cent
above that for the same period
last year.
Coal industry officials have
maintained, however, that pros-

You get much more than a fine
tasting dish for fitness and flavor
when you eat All-Bran with milk.
Kellogg's All-Bran, the original
whole bran laxative cereal, is
scientifically milled to bring you
natural food bulk in its most effec
tive form. Besides that, All-Bran
and milk give 9 body-builders you
need: phosphorus, iron, calcium,
thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vita
mins A and D as well as high
quality protein. All-Bran is fa
gSus for its effective relief of con
stipation due to lack of dietary
bulk. So get the original the one
and only, Kellogg's All-Bran. It
really works. Double your money
back if a daily dish of All-Bran
and milk doesn't have you regular
within 10 days. That's a promise
frcto Kellogg's of Battle Creek,
Michigan.
After Three Hours in Water
Salem (U.R) Three children
and four adults clung to their
capsized boat for nearly three
hours Friday night before they
were rescued by men from the
Detroit Ranger Station.
All were rescued after their
cries for help finally were heard
at the ranger station more than
half a mile away.
Could Hardly Mot
District Ranger Al Sorseth,
who headed the rescue team, said
the arms of the children were so
numbed they "could hardly move
them" when they were lifted
from the water. Sorseth credited
vesttype life jackets with sav
ing the lives of the children.
Rescued were Mr. and . Mrs.
Charles Ferraer and their chil
dren, Bonnie 8, and Eddie, 6, of
the Liberty district near Salem;
Mrs. Maxine Roles and daughter,
Susan, 9, of Salem, and A. W.
(Jack) Baker of Aumsville.
Quickly Located
Sorseth said Bonnie Ferraer
had drifted nearly 100 yards
from the boat was located quick
ly by the rescue team. The oth
ers were hanging on to the ov
erturned boat.
The fishing party left Fisher's
landing at Detroit at 7 p.m. and
had gone down the lake toward
Piety Knob, a large island. The
boat was turning when it cap
sized a few minutes after leaving
the landing. Campers in the area
joined in the rescue operation.
