Lewis’ decision to rein- state the three-day work-week in the nation’s coal mines was re- ceived by President Truman today calmly and without surprise. The President, it developed, knew all along that the United Mine Workers would not allow a full-scale strike to continue in- cefinitely, and force him to invoke emergency provisions of the Taft- Hartley law. At the same time, there was no| cfficial comment from the Presi- dent’s vacation retreat at this Naval submarine base. Russ Opposifion Swamped on Plan For World Peace NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—(®—The United Nations Assembly swamped Soviet opposition today and adopt- ed a 12-point western power declar- ation laying down essentials for world peace.

Eisenhower spoke before a dinner of Scottish-Americans, He declared that the definitiin of a liberal, today is—in Eisenhower’s words—*“A man in Washington who wants to play the Almighty with our money.” Eisenhower didn't identify the “man in Washington.” He went on to condemn any idea of security that would lead to “slothful in- dolence and ease.” Said General Tke: “We have be- come too accustomed to what we self —face next six months.

Ryan to- day ordered all FBI agents who investigated the Coplon-Gubitchev spy conspiracy case to appear Mon- day at a hearing to determine whether illegal wire-tapping was used. The order also told the govern- ment to show cause on Monday why all evidence obtained through wire-tapping should not be suppres- ced and why any indictment ob- tained by these methods against ex- government girl Judith Coplon hould not be dismissed. The orders were obtained by at- torney Archibald Palmer in a con- tinuing fight to keep Miss Coplon from going on trial with her ac- cused co-conspirator, Soviet Engi- neer Valentin A. Gukitchev.
