The forecast of bad weather in- creased- the probability that the <odies of the 30 victims will re- main entombed on the 16,208-foot peak. The four-engined airliner, enroute from Shanghai to St. Paul, crashed Friday night on a glacier of the mountain 190 miles northeast of here. Aboard the chartered plane were a crew of six and 24 seamen fly- ing from Shanghai to New York. They were the crewmen of the tanker Sunset, of the Overseas Tankship Corp.

Though the Russians weren't “ready to pick a fight yet; the Balkans or Italy might furnish the spark. The uncontrollable Yugoslavs might decide to boil over- their porders into Italy, Marshall said.

Meyers stood erect and appareniiy unmoved, as Judge Holtzoff told him: “Bennett E.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 15.— (P—Alaska’s foremost industrialist, Capt. Austin E. Lathrop, charged| ‘today that Territorial Gov. Emest" | Gruening “has tried to use the power and prestige of his office and the' resources of the Federal Government to transfer to himselt the initiative and lawmaking powers of the citi- zens.' | The assertion was contained in a | front page editorial of the Fairbanks | Daily News-Miner, which he edits. | | At the same time, the Fourth Ter- | | ritorial Division Republican Club was {on record demanding that the Sen- | ate reject Gruening's nomination for lanothed term in office. ! Gruening has been Governor of Alaska eight years In his editorial, Capt. said: | “During the five sessions of the | Alaska Legislature (including a spec- | ial session 1946) Gruening had | many opportunities to foster a sound | legislative program for the Territody | and failed to do so. i “The Governcr tried to promote |tax legislation not acceptable to members of the Legislature with the ' \result that the Territory's finances are 1:0w as near complete disorgml-} zation as have ever been seen. H “Gruening’s continual controvers- | ies with the Legislature can not be| ascribed to party politics. In each| session except the last the composi- | 'tion of the Legislature has been ov= | erwhelmingly Democratic. ' “In his relations with Legislators,| the Governor has ignored the hctt that they are the elected represen-i tatives of the people and must béj presumed to be carrying out thel wishes of the voters who placed them | in office.” H S eee - Lathrop ‘MacARTHUR DRAWS CRITICISM, RELAX CENSORSHIP, JAPAN TOKYO, March 15.—®—Japanse | were both bewildered and surprised’ Itoday over the first criticism of | | General MacArthur to appear .o | their newspapers. | Adverse as well as favorable com-! ments on MacArthur's willingness |to run for President have appeax‘ed“ [in all Tokyo newspapers in dispat-| Iches from the United States and!

Lewis' demand for miner pensions got under way to- day. Spearhead of the move was n Western Pennsylvania, where arly surveys indicated nearly one- walf of 56,000 miners walked out. The U. S. Steel Corp., reported ine of its 14 western Pennsyl- vania pits were closed, with 7,000 miners idle. The corporation ex- pected its coal output would drop Ay to about 20,000 tons, or one- third of capacity. The Jones and Laughlin Steel reported all its Pennsylvania ed, and 4,600 miners idle. Republic was another steel cor- poration affected, with three Penn- sylvania mines down. The out- put o1 steel is used in making fuel mills. Commercial mines, production is sold on the open markets, began to shut. The giant Pittsburgh Coal Company report- ed at least nine of its mines Orders of some indepen- dent mines expected the movement to spread. Walkouts started in other lead- ing coal states—West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. Lewis sent word to union locals Friday that operators had “dis- noncred” the 1947 wage agreement by not agreeing to pay pensions out of the union’s welfare fund. He asked the locals to meet and inform him of their reaction to is stand. The current contract does not expire until June 30, but it contains the meaningful phrase that miners will work only so long as they are “able and willing.” Lewis has demanded $100 month- ly pensions for miners 60 years of age or more who have 20 years' service in the pits. The operators contend “it's too expensive” At present the welfare fund, inade up of 10-cents-a-ton-royalty on coal paid by the operators, contains $30,000,000 STEAMER MOVEMENTS Baranoi, from Seattle, due some- time Tuesday afternoon.

Although the President told re- perters at a news conference on Thursday that he soon would make an announcement concerning the Territorial Governorship, White House and Interior Department spokesmen unofficially said the name probably wculd not be an- nounced until next week. That the Administration debated renaming Gruening was indicated by the statement of Senator J. Howard McGrath, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, who said: ‘The pros and cons concerning the renomination of Governor | Gruening finally have been resolved and the Democratic National Com- mitte¢ supports the President’s nomination.” The eight Republicans and five Democrats on the Senate Com- mittee on territories and insular affairs (formerly public lands com- mittee) will act on the nomination beiore it goes to the full Senate for vote. 'Lights Burn Lafe in Penfa- gon Building - War Chiefs Conferring WASHINGTON, March 15.—(®— Official Washington today gives al the appearances of having a bad case of war jitters or else planning a de- Jiterate show of military activity in order to outbluff the Russians. All last week, lights in the Army’'s glant Pentagon Building were burn- ing late, sometimes until 4 a.m. Simultaneously, telegrams have been sent to large groups of reserve officers to be ready in case ol trouble. No one has been called of- ficially, but many have been warned that they may be called. In addition, Army representatives have visited certain key factories and inquired about plans for rapic conversion of their plants in case ol trouble. The Army has Leen es- pecially interested in cement fac- tories, pointing out that it may be necessary to do a lot of underground construction Behind this, war chiefs admit have been some ominous moves by the Russian Army, which has now concentrated heavy reinforcements either in Russian-occupied Germany or else near the German border. Hew Will Moscow Move? ‘There is no way of knowing just what this means. It may mean that the Russians are prepared to move into Western Europe in retaliation for the Western European Alliance and the U. S.-British-French plan for a separate control of the Ruhr Or it may merely mean that the I | | | Committeemen Views Several gommittee members, it is understood, will vote for rejec- tion of the nomination, but a ma- pority is reported to favor pigeon- holing action until after the No- vember election. One Demorat on the com- mittee, who requested his name be withheld, said it would take a more convineing argument than any he has .yet heard to induce him to vote favorably for Gruen- ing. Senator Hugh Butler, Republi- can, Nebraska, chairman, declined to discuss either the nomination or probably action of committee | members. | Senator Carl New Mexico, member, said: “Governor’ Gruening is a very good administrator. I certainly shall vote to confirm his nomina- tion,” . Delegate E. L. Bartlett declared he was gratified the President had seen fit to nominate the Governor. Washington State Senators War- ren G. Magnuson, Democrat, snd Harry P. Cain, Republican, both refused to comment—either on the merit ¢f the nomination or on how they would vote when it comes to the Senate floor. Oregon's junior Senator, Wayne Morse, Republican, said his rela- tionships with Gruening always had been cooperative. “I am satisiied close economic relationships which exist between | Oregon and Alaska will continue | under the Governor's third term,” Morse added. ‘Withhelds Judgmeni Guy Gordon, Oregon's .senior | Senator, is reported withholding judgment on the -nomination. Gor- 'don, also a Republican, is 4 mem- |ber of the committee to which the President sent the nomination. Other ' members of the BSenate ccmmittee on territories and insu- lar affairs, all from Western states, are: Republicans—Eugene D. Mill- |ikn, Colorado; Edward V. Robert- son, Wyoming; Henry C. Dworshak, 1Idnho; Zales N. Ecton, Montana; | Gecrge W. Malone, Nevada, and | Arthur V. Watkins, Utah, and | Democrats—Joseph C.

To this end, only a few U. 8. troope are being left in Germany. Large U. 8. forces there might tempt the Russians to deliver a crippling blow and execute a Dunkirk. Should Moscow not be bluffing and suddenly advance through Germany, plans are all set for the U. 8. Army to high-tail it across the continent and on to England. From this refuge the war of at- omic bombs would be waged. How- ever, the length of time England could hold out is problematical. It is estimated that should the Russian Army start advancing across West- ern Europe they could reach the English Channel in atout 12 days. These are some of the problems being considered during the late hours in the Pentagon Building. The cold war in Europe has now develop- ed into a war of nerves otaerns. oo oo anonened 'NEWARK'S [RISH IN MARCH BUT MINUS CLAN OF McGOVERNS NEWARK, N.

The White House announced Mr. Truman will address a joint ses- sion at 9:30 a. m. (PST) on that day. ¥ Press Sec¢retary Charles G. Ross made the announcement without my elaboration. It came against a background of increasing tension over foreign Jfairs, marked by these immed- late developments: Secretary of State Marshall told the Senate Foreign Relat'sns Com- mittee in a closed door session hat “the hour is far more fateful now than it was a year ago.’ The State Department gave no- ice that if Italy goes Communist she will get no further aid from he United States. Ross sald Mr. Truman's speech to the joint session will require 15 /0 20 minutes to deliver. Ross declined to answer any juestions from reporters as to whether the President will request additional legislation.
