Lewis Wins On Foremen WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (A The government today officially warded to John L. Lewis the opening round in his fight to unionize mine foremen. President Truman and the wage stabilization board ap proved a contract covering 136 lupervisory workers at four Jones and Laughlin Steel cor poration "captive" mines In west ern Pennsylvania. It was the first such contract In the mining industry. The agreement was negotiated by Adm. Ben Moreell, who has been running the nation's bi tuminous mines since the govern ment seized them May 22 in an effort to end the coal strike. The shutdown was terminated a week later by an agreement be tween Lewis and Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug which gave Lewis' 400.000 striking soft coal miners an 181 cent hourly wage boost and a five cent tax on every ton of coal mined for a health and welfare fund. Settle ment of the foreman controversy was left to procedures and de cisions of the national labor re lations board. The Moreell agreement on the Jones and Laughlin supervisors was the outgrowth of that ar rangement. Lewis' branch of the United Mine Workers for supervisory workers was certi fied as the bargaining agent for the Jones and L,augrutn loremen. Molotov Fouls Parley Again PARIS, Aug. 8 ;P Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov told the peace conference today that Soviet Russia could not agree to committee-adopted rules on vot ing and ran into a charge by Australia's Herbert V. Evatt that the Russian leader was attempt ing to dictate to the conference. Molotov threw the plenary ses sion into confusion by reopening the once-settled question on vot ing procedure. Molotov said the United States and Britain had repudiated decisions in the for eign ministers' council. He then accused Evatt of "acting to create opinion against Soviet interests." Evatt, Australian minister of external affairs, has been active in promoting the cause of the small nations before the confer ence. In a fiery reply to Molotov, he said the soviet leader was try ing to enforce before the peace conference the same veto he en joyed in the foreign ministers' council. Evatt said Molotov's effort to reopen the voting question smacked of filibustering and "has the suggestion of intimida tion." "What we have got to face is whether we will give into de mands of that sort," Evatt de clared. - Peach Pickers End Short-Lived Strike MARYSVTLLE, Calif., Aug. 8 P) Peach pickers in Yuba, Sut ter and RllttA muntiAC wara hank on the job today after a brief siriKe oi some zuuu pickers for higher wages.

Sir Alan Cunningham, British high commissioner, said today that Palestine Arab lead ers had turned down an invita tion to roundtable talks in Lon don on the future of the Holy Land. The Arab rejection of the in vitation to the London confer ences said the Arab executive could not agree to take part in any discussion based on the par tition of Palestine. The possibility of Russia be ing projected into the situation was seen today in a statement of the Arab office that there was no reason why "America should be a party to the Pales tine case and not Russia." Ahmed Shukairy. Arab office director, explained at a news conference that the Arab office is a "propaganda office sup ported by Palestine Arabs and responsible to the Arab world," but not necessarily reflecting the views of the Palestine Arab executive or of the Arab league in the present case. Release of 1700 Jews, taken into custody by the British June 29 in a roundup of sus pected extremists, has been an nounced by the Palestine gov ernment, which said 970 more would be freed in a few days.
