Civil Contempt
Charge To Be
Heard Friday
WASHINGTON. April 20 lJ'i John L. Lewis rsraprd a Jail aenlenra
today but was flnrd $20,000 prroonally and his t'nitrd Mine Worker!
$1,400,000 for contempt of court.
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough accepted a government recommenda
tion for those fines, but said it had been his own inclination to send
Lewis to Jail.
FINES OOI'BLED
The fine are just double what the bushy-browed I'MW chief and
his miners had to pay after they similarly were found guilty In 1946
of contempt of court for ignoring a court's stop-suike order.
Then Goldsborough flnrd Lewis $10,000 and the union $3,500,000,
but the "supreme court cut the union's fine ta $700,000.
The fines Goldsborough Imposed today were only for criminal
contempt The Judge granted a government motion to consider a penalty
for civil contempt against Lewis and the union on Friday.
Lewis and the union each were held guilty by the Judge yesterday
of both civil and criminal contempt.
Assistant Attorney General Graham Morlson told reporters after
the court hearing that the reason for delaying the civil contempt sen
tencing until Friday was to exercise a club over Lewis and the union
to get all the miners back to worK.
He said another heavy line ana

Fishing Fleet
Heads North
SEATTLE, April 20 (IP) Doughty
fishing vessels upped anchor In a
dozen West coast ports today to
head for Alaska waters in an open
scramble for choice locations on the
North Pacific halibut grounds.
A record armada of 600 ships, in
cluding 180 from Seattle. Is expected
to be dispersed throughout the area
when the International fisheries
commission officially opens the hali
but season at 12:01 a. m. i local time)
May 1.
Jockeying for locations on the
banks developed through failure of
various ports to agree on staggered
starting times by splitting the fleet
as in past years.
The plan, devised to prevent con
gestion of the market, was disrupted
last year by Seattle's prolonged dis
pute over catch shares.
Fishermen here said an accord
could not be reached this spring
with Alaskan ports for resumption
of the staggered schedule.
Most stateside vessels will take on
ice and bait at Ketchikan and then
stand by until next Mondav when
fifhing licenses become vnlid.
This will permit a race for the
halibut grounds' best spots before
the season opens.

Dewey Due In
Oregon May 1
ALBANY. N. Y.. April 20 Wr
Governor Thomas E. Dewey an
nounced today he would campaign
for the republican presidential
nomination in Oregon for at least
10 days, beginning with a speech in
Portland Mny 1.
Dewey will fly from New York
City to Portland on April 30 and ar
rive several hours before he is
scheduled to address the annual
convention of the Oregon state
Junior chamber of commerce.
Dewey also announced that he
would visit some other states in the
Pacific Northwest. He will not go
Into California, however. His prac
tice has been not to invade a state
that has a strong favorite son can
didate. Governor Earl Warren of Califor
nia is one of the five avowed can
dldntes for the GOP presidential
nomination.
It Is expected that Dewey will re
main In the Northwest for approx
imately three weeks and that he will
visit Washington, Montnna and pos
sibly Nevnda.
even a jail penalty agaiast wis
is possible if all the miners are not
back at work by thai time.
"The idea Is to provide lime to see
what they will do by Friday," Mor
lson said.
Asked specifically if the Justice
department may recommend Jail for
Lewis if part of the miners are still
out Friday. Morison said:
"We might."
Immediately after Goldsborough
acted. AFL President William Green
issued a statement saying that pun
ishment of labor or labor leaders lor
exercising the right to stop work
"will cause resentment in the minds
of those directly concerned and by
those who are indirectly affected.
Green added:
"The best interests of the govern
ment would be served if its repre
sentatives would stop immediately
their attempt to prosecute and pun
ish the mine workers and their lead
ers and instead concentrate their
efforts toward bringing about full
production in sufficient volume to
meet the maximum national needs."
During the entire court proceed
ings, Lewis sat stolidly, with scarce
ly s single motion.
Once or twice his heavy Jowls
twitched. -
When Morison concluded. Welly
K. Hopkins, the union's lawyer, told
the judge such fines as the govern
ment suggested would inflict "grevi
ous injuries" on the miners.
He said the panlties asked for
"were without parallel."
Speaking of the miners, Hopkins
said. "I say to .the government they
are not second-rate citizens." He
added:
"There's no caste system of un
touchables as yet."
Hopkins said the government
harped repeatedly on the letter
Lewis sent the mine operators Feb
ruary 2 telling them the union re
served the right to take "independ
ent action" because there had been
no agreement on miners' pensions.
He asked:
"Why does the government bear
down so heavily on the message of
February 2. addressed not to the
union but to the operators and made
public by the operators?"
"The right of tree speech existed
on February 2. The right of free
speech existed on March 12." (March
12 was the date when Lewis mes
saged the miners their contract was
"dishonored.")
Hopkins asked the court. "Who is
there to say that on the morning of
April 3 of this year that there was
any violation of any law, when the
defendants addressed a report to the
men of this union?"

The next biggest aid allotments
all of them tentative, are: $1,130.
800.000 to France, $703,600,000 to
Italy $599,600,000 to The Netherlands
and $431,400,000 t' the U. S. - British
zones of Western Germany.
In translating the dollars Into the.
things Western Europe needs most
to regain its economic feet, the re
covery program planners expect to
spend $957,200,000 lor grain. $511,
300.000 for cotton. $379,700,000 for
petroleum and $110500,000 for to
bacco. These and many other long-secret
figures were submittedto the house
appropriations committee by Paul
G. Hoffman, economic aid adminis
trator. They were made public by the
committee as it summoned Hoff
man to a closed door session to de
termine how much money congress
should make available for the actual
operation of the program.
In passing the European recovery
act earlier this month, the law
makers simply gave the go-ahead
signal, leaving the issue of funds to
be decided later. But to provide
quick start, congress said the re
construction finance corporation
could put up $1,000,000,000 that
sum to be repaid later out of the
ERP appropriation.
Also, of the total, another $1,000.
000.000 is to be raised by Export
Import bank bond issues. And before
congress got around to acting finally
on the recovery bill, it approved
$55,000,000 stopgap advance to keep
earlier supply lines to Europe filled.
That brings down to $4,245,000,000
the amount Hoffman now is asking
the appropriations committee to ap
prove. Chairman Taber IR.-N.Y.) said
the hearings mav Inst several weeks.
