asked if the men are observing
Lewis’ 70th birthday which came
last Sunday. He replied:
“Yes, and the miners probably
will be celebrating John L. Lew
is’ birthday for two more weeks."
The strikers did not seem much
concerned with President Tru
man's Taft-Hartley court action
aimed at ending the strike. Nor
with Lewis’ work orders.
The questions now is what Un
cle Sam will do about enforcing
his stop-strike command.
The government is standing by
with a wait-and-see attitude.
Federal officials apparen 11 y
hope the court-ordered contract
negotiations, resuming today in;
Washington, will hasten the
strike's end. -
Lewis and mine operators will
meet amid field reports that the,
UMW chief may substitute some
new demands for those ruled out1
by a federal district court in
Washington. 1
Northwest Revives
Aid Raid Warning
(By The Associated Press
Oregon and Washington Gov
ernors, acting at the request of
Secreaary of Defense Johnson, is
sued orders Saturday reviving the
wartime air raid warning net
works throughout the two states.
Both, however, cautioned
against hysteria or “undue con
cern."
Governor Douglas McKay at
Salem, Ore., said that reestablish
ment of the system “is nothing
more spectacular than a good in
surance policy." Washington’s
Governor Langlie said the action
was being taken at government
request “because of the possibili
ties of conflict.”
Warning systems of the two
States will be under the Western
Air Defense Force with headquar
ters at Hamilton Air Force Base,
Calif.
State patrol chief James A.
Pryde, named by Langlie to head
the Washington reactivation, said
ground observers will report to
the air force which, in turn, will
warn the civilian population in
the event of an enemy attack.
