Watch the Classified Paget Two Opposing Laws By EARL WHITLOCK That we should do unto oth ers as we would have them do unto us that we should respect the rights of others as scrup ulously as we would have our own rights re spected is not mere counsel of perfection to individuals but it is the law to which we must conform social institutions and national policy if we would secure the bless ings ox abundance and peace Two contrary laws stand to day opposed: one a law of blood and death, which compels all nations to prepare for battle: the other a law of peace, of labor, of salvation, which strives to deliver man from the scourges which assail him. One looks only for violent conquest the other for the relief of suf fering humanity. One would sacrifice a million human lives to the ambitions of a single man; the other places a single numan we above all victories. The law of which we are the Instruments tries, even in the midst of carnage, to heal the wounds caused by the law of war.

PREVENT TIEUP (Continued from Page One) workers and operators of the Appalachian district would meet again tomorrow. The stoppages will involve ap proximately 378.000 men and, if completely effective, will cut off 85 per cent of the nation's soft coal output vital to defense and industry. Contract to Expire The stoppages will become ef fective automatically at mid night, when the 1939-41 wage- hour contract expires, in accord ance with a UMW rule not to work without a contract. How ever, actual withdrawal of men from the mines will not be mani fest until Wednesday because Tuesday is "John L. Lewis day," a miners' holiday observing the anniversary of the seven-hour day. After adjournment of the con ference tonight, Ezra Van Horn, president of the joint Appalach ian wage conference and a spokesman for the 21 operators' organiations involved, said: "We continued our negotia tions through the entire day and have adjourned to convene again at 10 a. m. tomorrow. We covered several parts of the con tract as previously discussed but agreed upon none of the points." Lewis was asked if the ad- journment would mean a tech- nical stoppage" of work. "Not technically, but actual- y be replied jonn R. steelman, director of lhe ij. S- conciliation service, had asserted "only a miracle" could prevent a work stoppage. To night he said "whatever optim ism I have used at this confer ence is based on the fact both sides have agreed upon to con tinue negotiations." Lewis announced In event of a shutdown, the union would keep maintenance men in the mines at tested and permit continued op erations in certain cases to in sure deliveries to hospitals "and other minor industries and cer tain utilities that depend on spe cific mines."

Gradually she lured the Italians into range of the 15-inch (una of the Brit ish battleships which by steam ing an oblique course had Inter cepted the naval game of hide-and-seek. When the Italians steamed in to the trap, it was too late to es cape. The speedy Vlttorio Ven eto around noon experienced her first stuck by British tor peodo planes and tried to run for home, harried all the while by British planes. The heavy guns of the British battleships hurled devastating salvoes into the Italian cruisers. One-Sided British naval authorities be lieve the unprecedentedly one sided naval battle in which the British ships suffered no casual ties or damage probably never would have occurred except for Italy's long-established policy of not building aircraft carriers, relying instead on shore-based planes. With proper reconnaissance the Italian fleet could have avoided the trap which brought her losses entering the war to two-thirds of her battleships. more than so per cent of her heavy cruisers, 25 per cent of her light cruisers, 25 per cent of her destroyers and about 35 per cent of her submarines. The main battle, between the British heavy units and the Ital ian heavy cruisers, was fought well after dark, lighted by naval searchlights, the flare of burn ing Italian ships and the flashes of 15-inch gun broadsides. British officers suggested to night Italian ships firing on each other in the darkness and con fusion may have contributed to their own destruction as firing was heard long after British ships had left the area in ques tion. Today the British commander- in-chief. Admiral Sir Andrew Browne-Cunningham, radioed his officers and men congratulations and praise, ending with the commendation, "well done!" The action which won this praise was described in detail to this correspondent today by the chief gunnery officer aboard Admiral Cunningh's flagship, the 30,800-ton battleship Warspite. This is his story: "Shortly after 9 pm. (Fri day) the battle fleet was ordered to close position as an unknown vessel was reported by the vice- admiral of the light forces. At ,. .iu,j . ! 10:28 p. m. we sighted a number, of darkened ship, on the ,Ur - board bow, "There appeared to be three cruisers and two or four destroy ers. Almost simultaneously we were challenged by another ves sel on the port beam "The fleet turned to starboard to bring us on opposite courses and our armament was brought to instant readiness. A few sec onds later the destroyer in the van, the Greyhound, switched its searchlights on the third ship in the enemy line and recognized her as one of the (Italian) eight inch cruisers. Subsequently there was no doubt she was the Fiume. Close Range "The Warspite's 15-inch arma ment opened up at very close range. The first broadside struck home with devastating effect and the enemy vessel became a mass of flame from bridge to stern. "After one more broadside, which increased the tires on the enemy ship, which now was a helpless cripple, we switched the fire to the next ship in line, which was the Zara. She burst into flames. "By now the entire battle fleet was in action. Our searchlights illuminated two destroyers astern of the enemy cruisers. They were Ideally placed for tor pedo attack upon us and at once turned and fired their tubes. 'The fleet altered course and engaged with Its main and sec ondary armaments the destroy ers, which retired behind a heavy smoke screen. "At the same time the commander-in-chief ordered our de stroyers to finish off the burning cruisers. The destroyers went in with torpedoes and sank three cruisers and two destroyers." BRAGG GETS ONE YEAR IN PRISON John W. Bragg was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary when he pleaded guilty in Cir cuit Judge David Vandcnberg's court Monday to a charge of larceny by bailee.

(Continued From fag One) scribed the evacuation of Ger mans rushing to get out of Jugo slavia. "Patience" to End Nasi spokesmen warned Ger man "patience" would come to an end. German sources said both Hungary and Bulgaria had been "compelled" to take "certain steps." Bulgaria was said by of ficial nasi sources to have or dered general mobilisation, but this was denied by Bulgarian spokesmen here. It was reported statement of Jugoslav policy had been re ceived here but It was not the comprehensive or authoritative pronouncement desired. Nasi blamed "Chauvinistic Serbs" for events In Jugoslavia and contrasted the belligerent at titude of the Serbs to the quiet stand of the Croats. A dispatch of the official DNB agency from Budapest said to night a German village in the Baranja district of Jugoslavia, near the Hungarian border, was completely burned by rioting Serbs. BELGRADE, Tuesday, April 1 (VP) Germany's minister to troubled Jugoslavia was on his way to Berlin today and reliable reports circulated that the gov ernment had closed the frontier with Rumania. Warlike signs and portents multiplied rapidly, and the new military regime said the army, navy and air force were "ready to fulfill their duties." r Amid a welter of rumors re garding German's intentions to ward Jugoslavia public concern mounted to a pitch of utmost gravity. Authorities sought to calm the people and at the same time steel them for any eventua lities, urging that they stand by their homes and posts of duty re gardless of what happens. No Surprise The departure of the German minister, Viktor von Heeren, came as no surprise. It had been prospective for days, and he boarded a train for Berlin last night to report to nazl authori ties. Rumors also had circulated previously of the closing of Jugo slav frontiers. Late last night reliable sources said that the border with Rumania, a scant 50 miles from Belgrade, had been sealed. Any German thrust from Rumania presumably would come up the Danube valley straight west of the capital. Germans were getting out of Jugoslavia as fast as possible, and many residents of Belgrade were leaving for the interior where they expected to be safer in case of an invasion. Premier Richard Dusan-Simo-vitch, who came to power Thurs day in a coup engineered as a protest against the pact with the axis, appealed for calm and or- . r,H ... ,. - ' 'n g oo5 relations with neighboring states. 1 Reports that Germany would hand Jugoslavia an ultimatum demanding demobilization were described as "ridiculous " An official government com munique was issued expressing regret over recent incidents, in volving German citizens and urg ing the populace to preserve peace. Gen. Simovitch issued an or der forbidding "any evacuation from any place" or the leaving of homes because "there is no reason for this and it might create only bad consequences." Leaders Seek Agriculture Bill Passage (Continued from Page One) $890,000,000 for the farm pro gram. Little or no opposition was an ticipated to the senate approprl ations committee's action in in creasing from $212,000,000 to $450,000,000 the house-approved fund for "parity payments," de signed to boost farm Income up toward the level of the years in which Its purchasing power was considered adequate. rssY """" HA?
