NOTES p°st No. 19' nome
Considering that the boys at
Nome do not even have a quonset
hut to meet in, the recently at
tained membership of fifty is
something to be proud of. Post No.
19 came into being a couple of
months ago when past National
Commanders Brown and Atherton
visited the Seward Peninsula and
urged the establishment of a Le
gion Post among the oldtimers and
returned veterans of World War II
here.
Jack Dowd, former U. S. Com
missioner at Nome, took the lead,
and by February 14 a sufficient
number had signed up to organize
a post and elect regular officers.
The roster of officials reads as fol
lows now: Post commander, Jack
Dowd; 1st vice commander, Henry.
Ulrich; 2nd vice commander, Rer- i
nard G. Meyers; post adj. and fi-1
nace officer, Paul Dryden; histo-!
rian, Daniel Jones; Chaplain, Da-:

mittee. Regular army personnel!
from the Base is invited to attend.
Meetings take place on Monday j
night at the City Hall, and the sec-1

around to it, wre will have a homej

There is a gathering scheduled
for tonight, at 8:00 o’glock at the!

German Coal
Miners Strike
ESSEN, Germany, (/P) — Four)
thousand Ruhr coal miners at
Dortmund struck Saturday in the'
latest German demons t r a t i o n
against short food rations.
It was the first such action since
unrest over the food situation de
veloped several days ago.
Hunger strikes and marches by i
an estimated 500,000 persons have j
taken place here in the last two
days and an angry demonstration
occurred Friday at Duesseldorf,
where crowds upset and stoned
British military vehicles.
There are approximately 250,000
coal miners in the Ruhr valley.
Some 10,000 persons including
railway and wagon factory work
ers marched through the streets of
Krefeld, on the west bank of the
Rhine, waving banners protesting
food shortages. A similar demon
stration was planned later today in
the coal center of Duisburg. A pro
1 test was cancelled at Cologne.
Official figures compiled by the
British-operated north German
coal control office showed a sig
nificant decrease in Ruhr coal pro
duction during the restless period
of demonstrations, although most
miners so far ha^e obeyed union
I instructions to remain at work.
The 4,000 strikers who returned
to work said they would walk out
again tomorrow if their food de
mands were not met. The miners
said their families were getting
barely two-thirds of the standard
1,550 daily calory ration estab
lished in the British and Ameri
can zones.
Sharp Debate
Over Lilienthal
(By Francis J. Kelly)
WASHINGTON, (A>) — A week
end test vote by the Senate on the
sharply debated nomination of Da
vid E. Lilienthal to be chairman of
t'ne atomic energy commission.
The test will come on a motion
by Senator Bricker <R.-Ohio>, to
send the nomination back to the
atomic energy committee, along
with those of the other four com
missioners and Carroll L. Wilson,
general manager.
Bricker voted against Lilienthal
in committee and characterized
him in a two-hour speech yester
day as a man of “utter incompe
tence" to build an organization to
protect the rights of the American1
people in the atomic field.
His motion to send the nomina
ions b/ick came as a surprise end
ing to his prepared address. Lilien
thal’s supporters were not ready
for a vote and Senator Knowland
<R.-Calif.) immediately took the I
floor in support of the nominee.
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio), also op
poses Lilienthal’s confirmation, but
he insisted that the deDate go on
until all interested Senators had
their say before voting on Bricker’s j
motion.

Miners To Stop
Work In Memorial
i _
‘By The Associated Press)
The nation’s 400,000 soft coa
miners entered the pits for the las*
time today before beginning a six
day work stoppage in memory of
the Centralia, 111., mine explosion
victims—but industry generally
appeard to face the prospect of
curtailed fuel supplies with few
qualms.
At regular month-end meeting:
of AFL united mine workers union
locals, the coal diggers receiver)
orders passed down from UMW
president John L. Lewis to stop
work at midnight tonight for six
days to honor the 111 Centralia
dead. There were no reports o.
dissents and one large group call
ed for the removal of interior sec
retary Krug as mines administra
tor.
Krug said he wouldn’t enter mto
the mine work stoppage. “My sym
pathy for the bereaved families,"
he said, “is too profound to permit
me to debate or to gloss over their
misery by engaging in any press
controversy over the catastrophy
or its causes.”
The interior secretary stated he
would make an oariw.i-ar^r* tn the
f.bns in the nation’s bituminous
plants.
There were ample stock piles of
coal at most industrial plants. At
the giant U. S. Steel corp., in Pitts
burgh. how'ever, officials said eight
blast furnaces might have to be
shut down for lack of coke.
