Russ Ships Witness
Atomic Task Force
HONOLULU, — (/P)—Why five
Russian vessels happened to be
in port here when an atomic task
force reportedly passed through
was explained today. Th& agent
for the Russian ships said they
had been detained until port charg
es were settled.
Writing in the Honolulu Ad
vertiser last week, military re
porter Buck Buchwach said the
Soviet flotilla “witnessed the sec
ret arrival of an atomic task farce
bound for Eniwetok," and was
“within easy binocular distance"
when the task force left Pearl
Harbor for the Eniwetok testing
grounds.
Buchwach said the atomic task
fleet arrived March 6, and de
partd March 8.
The army and navy commands
had nothing to say about Bucn
wach’s story.
Robert J. Pfeiffer of the inter
island steam navigation company,
agent for the Russian ships, gave
this explanation of their delay
here.
They lacked sufficient money
Or credit to pay port charges, hence
were not permitted to leave Mar.
2 and 4 as they had planned The
Amtorg Trading Co., New York,
finally supplied additional credit.
Four Russian sailing vessels, the
Shturman, Venera, Meduza and
Crevetka, were permitted to leave
March 7. Their Soviet escort ship,
the motorship Dnestr, was allowed
to depart March 11.

Strike Spreads To
Hard Coal Pits
POTTSVILLE, Pa., — (^)—1The
soft coal strike spread today to
the eastern Pennsylvania anthra
cite field.
Miners reported but refused to
work at a dozen collieries in this
section and nearby Ashland dist
rict. A preliminary check showd
nearly 6,000 men idle.
John Egan, of Pottsville, a board
member of district 9, United Mine
Workers, said the stoppage “ap
parently is in sympethy with the
bituminous miners.”
“It’s something the men de
cided themselves,” Egan told a re
porter. “There hasn’t been any
order by the district, and the dist
rict has not sanctioned the strike.”
Operators said they had no ad
vance warning.
Anthracite miners in eastern
| Pennsylvania are under the juris
diction of three districts of the
big United Mine Workers union
and are covered by a contract
with the operators separate from
the soft coal agreement.
Like the bituminous agreement,
the hard coal pact provides a 10
cent per ton royalty on coal rnined.
The money is paid into a health
and welfare fund, governed by
the terms of the contract.
The fund has been operating
in the anthracite field, paying
death and injury benefits.
