Lewis be cited for contempt, he had work- ed for three days and most of three nights. Parking his car, he faced a battery of photographers, and went inside to bring justice on the Na- tion’s leading lawbreaker. After getting Judge Alan Golds- borough to cite Lewis for contempt and order him to appear in court the following Monday, Sonnett left the courthouse and returned to his car, only to find that a local cop had given him a ticket, ordering him to appear, in court on Frid Said Sonnett: “So this is justi You ran get arrested more easily for illegally parking you car than for tying up the whole Siates o1 America COAL MINE ACC... United One of John L. Lew. against private coal oper spring—and a justiziable one—was their refusal to adopt federal inspection. This, he claim one reason for heavy mir dents. However, since the Federal Go,- ernment has had the mines, it has enforced its own standards—despite the cbjection of private operators. These new, stricter safety stand- ards have caused a drop of about 10 per cent in the number of men killed In the first three months of 1946 when the mines were under pr. operation, 233 men were killed in mine accidents. From August 15 to Nov. 1, when the Federal safety code was in ef- sect, 216 men were killed—a figure which bears mute testimony to the hazards of coal mining, despite strict safety laws About half the men were killed in roof cave-ins and so-ca “face falls” (coal slides Gove ment regulations to prevent accidents, such as stronger of roofs, are much stri the standards set by the while the mines were privately op- erated. Federal inspectors also much more thorough about de ing gas ditions in ccal o Though accident casualties were less, the Government also produced more coal than the private opera- tors in the comparative month periods. In the first three months of 1946, approximately 160,860,000 tons were dug. Thus the fatal accident rate per million tons dug was 1.45. three-* In August, September and Octo- ber, approximately 161,910,000 tons were dug, making the fatal acci- dent rate per million tons 1.31. JUSTICE JACKSON'S IDEAS Maybe Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson listened too much to the radio in his spare time at the Nuremberg trials. Anyway Jackson threw out a hint during argument of a radio case last week that he doesn’'t agree with die- hard FCC Commissioner E. K. Jett that radio stations have no need to improve their programs. The Federal Communications Commission was seeking to have the Supreme Court uphold its ord- er revoking the license of radio station WOKO, Albany, N, Y. | Attorney Bill Dempsey, son of the | Governor of New Mexico, was argu- | ing for WOKO. He pointed out | that “if every broadcaster who had, ever made a misrepresentation to the FCC and whose license had | subsequently been renewed were | now to be taken off the air it would mean a great gap in the air, waves.” “Isn't that an argument for some drastic action?” Jackson shot back. Dempsey hastily changed the subject. Note—FCC Commissioner Je«i now believes it is no business of the FCC what kind of tripe a radio station serves up to the public. FROM THE DIPLOMATIC POUCH U.

Leonard Srith, Highway En- gineer and Secretary for the new Territorial Aviation Commission, has returned from an extended trip to Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward. Mr. Smith went to Anchorage to .wludy the new Civil Aeronautics Ad- Airport program now in effect in rritory. The CAA is providing 75 percent of the cost involved in the new airport pro- gram, which has been designed for the development of new airfields in sections where the communities are too small to raise necessary funds to esta h needed airfields. In some districts, such as Dilling- ham, where the Aviation Commis- son has started on the building of an airport at the present time, it is expected that some portion of the funds will be contributed by local cannerios and fisheries. the Department of Interfor, which has carried out considerable work in che past for the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, recently put into effect a v ruling whereby- the Territorial Board must contri- bute <5 percent of the costs of all new construction projects. In the past, the Board has voluntarily con- tributed about 21 percent and to mest the new derhand, it would be necessary fo request an appropria- tion from the legislature. Delegates of the Department of Interior's " Alaskan branch are fighting tk grounds that it would be impossible for the Territorial Board to raige the necessary $1,600,000 that would be required for the next two years. The Board of Road Commissioners is interested in putting in a smaller ype of landing strip than the usual which servi larger commercial liners. Purpose of these is to eh- able small afreraft to make connec- * tions between the more rural com~ munities to deliver supplies and commodities. At present the Boattd is especially interested in strips along the Arctic Coast, especially around Point Lay, Wainwright and Nomtak. It is hoped that the Alas- kan Indian Affairs will aid in con- tributing funds toward these pro- Jects. Seward airport is in need of re- building at the present time, and the Board is also attempting to in- terest the CAA in Palmer as a fu- ture site for a landing strip. Mr. Smith holds hope that the Depart- ment of Interior will reconsider their proposal recarding the 25 percent de- 'mand that is to go into effect the first of the vear. so the program un- der way will not have to be discon- tinued for lack of appropriation | from the legislature. | cluding about 10,000,000 rivets went | into -oo LOGGERS 437-6t.
