BERN, Switzerland, April 28
The International Red Cross held
to its original position today that
request from all the countries
concerned would be necessary
for Investigation of German
charges that 10,000 Polish offi
cers had been slain by the Rus
sians near Smolensk.
The Russian-Polish diplomatic
breach did not affect its deci
sion, informed sources said.
German and Polish requests
had been made for the naming
of a neutral commission to in
vestigate the alleged killings but
under Red Cross rules all the
parties concerned, in an investi
. gatlon must join the request.

CHICAGO, April 28 (fF) -The
Illinois coal operators associa
tion today requested the Illinois
district of the United Mine Work
ers of America to meet the group
immediately, independent of Ap
palachian negotiations under
way in the east, to work out a
new contract and keep the state's
mines operating after the dead
line Friday midnight.
George F. Campbell, president
of the operators, telegraphed
State President Ray Edmundson
of the UMWA, now in New York
City, that the Illinois operators
were denied the right to partici
pate in the Appalachian confer
ences in New York. Negotia
tions are now before the war
labor board in Washington, with
the miners refusing to partici
pate. Heretofore, Illinois operators
and mine workers have awaited
the outcome of the eastern ne
gotiations before working out a
separate contract..

octane gasoline. . . .
The committee is inquiring in
to a dispute involving Ickes,
Undersecretary of War Patter
son and Rubber Director Jeff ers
over priorities granted the rub
ber program.
Wallops Listed
Ickes listed these other "wal
lops" he said the aviation gaso
line program had suffered:
"We did not receive any steel
plate for new plants until March,
1942, and then it was delivered
in a harum-scarum manner with
out regard to the needs or rela
tive urgencies of the separate
projects.
"While we persuaded the war
production board to allocate the
steel plate in May, 1942, and
never had a bit of trouble with
that thereafter, we were unable
to persuade it to let us allocate
the other materials, largely, I
believe, because that would have
been contrary to the then cur
rent theories of the board which
revolved around priorities rath
er than scheduling.
In the summer of 1942, the
then authorities actually voted
the aircraft production program
and certain other military pro
grams as of higher urgency than
the program to produce fuel for
combat planes.

Another contingent, pushing
toward Jefna station, 28 miles
southwest of Bizerte, swept the
enemy off Djebel el Azzag north
of Jefna and also took Djebel el

"While in December, 1942, we
finally attained the mandatory
scheduling of parts for certain
plants, the directive then issued
had to be shared with the rub
ber program.
"We were denied a similar
mandatory directive covering
the- plants scheduled to be fin

failing to receive much help, we
suffered a positive hindrance in
that the rubber program did re
