Prove Planes Can
Support Troops
In Sub-Arctic
NORTHWAY, Alaska, (/P) —
Maj. Gen. Robert Lee, head of
the U. S. Air Force Tactical Com
mand, said Wednesday Exercise
Sweetbriar has confirmed that
aircraft can be maintained, sup
plied and operated in support of
ground troops under sub-Arctic
conditions.
Gen. Lee was one of numerous
American and Canadian generals
on hand for yesterday’s climax of
the 11-day, joint Canadian-Amer
ican maneuver. He said that with
the latest type of radar available
it should be possible to get lim
ited—he called it “late warning”
—indications of the approach of j
any enemy aircraft.
In this rugged region the many
mountains make early-warning
radar much less effective than in
most areas.
He was asked if the American
F-86 jet fighter which Canada'
will be using in a year or two ]
would be obsolescent soon like
the British Vampire the R.C.A.F.
new uses.
He said F-86 should be “an op
erational plane pretty much for
its lifetime of three to four years.”

Canada’s defense minister,
Brooke Claxton, and numerous
generals were on the sidelines as
the paratroopers, camouflaged in
white, surged toward the North
wav airstrip after landing on an
ice-covered lake less than a mile
away.
Later, Claxton told a press con
ference that ‘perhaps the greatest
direct result is that 5,000 men in
the U. S. and Canadian forces
now have personal knowledge of
how to operate in the Arctic.”

of Pittsburgh also wired Lewis,
asking him to permit a few mines
to operate near here.
The Commissioners said only
3,000 tons of coal are available
and that from 7,000 to 10,000 tons
are needed daily.
Lewis didn’t reply.
The situation in Pittsburgh is no
worse and no better than in many
other cities.
Stringent emergency measures
are going into effect across the
nation.
Officials have ordered dimouts
and industrial layoffs, forced
schools to close and put other
conservation measures into effect.
The situation in New York State
is so bad that coal administrator
Bertram D. Tallamy says no one
will get any soft coal except hos
pitals, food processing plants, mu
nicipal water works and other es
sential consumers.

Miners To Be On
Trial for Contempt
Of Court Monday
(Continued from Page One)
sible for continuing the idleness
which has cut the nation’s coal
supply to famine level.
The UMW attorneys told Judge
Richmond B. Keech that the strike
was a result of individual action
by the 370,000,000 soft coal dig
j gers.
“Refusal to work was and is en
tirely without suggestion, direc
tion or authorization of the re
spondent union and wholly in con
travention of and contrary to the
directions given aforesaid by the
respondent through its officers,”
said Welly K. Hopkins.
Hopkins is chief attorney for
the union. Stripped of his legal
phrases, his argument meant that
John L. Lewis, as president of the
mine workers, had ordered them
back to work in compliance with
the court’s order, but the miners
had not obeyed.
Judge Keech has issued a tem
porary restraining order against
a strike on Feb. 11. The order,
once extencfcd, is good until
March 3.
