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. -

what Truman was hitting at
when he said that if "Slaughter
is right I am wrong.")
yllE real present trouble with
our political system, as it
works out in congress, is that we
have no real party programs.
As a result, congress is just an
aggregation of INDIVIDUALS,
with each individual more in
terested in GETTING RE
ELECTED himself than in any
consistent program of national
legislation or policy.
If we are going to get any

Arabs Refuse
London Talks
JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 t,P)
Lt. Gen. 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.
