IJlnW Officials Are
Silent Today, Will
Wait To Comment
PITTSBURBH, — (A>) —Local
officials of the United Mine Work
ers received here with cautious
silence today the word that John
L. Lewis had been found guilty
of contempt of court.
John P. Busarello, District 5,
president of the UMW at Pitts
burgh said:
“No comment this morning, i
Let’s wait until tomorrow.”
Tuesday is the date set for
Washington sentencing of the un
ion and Lewis, its president.
A spokesman for one UMW lo
cal which was still idle comment
ed:
“I don’t know what will hap
pen now. We’re not working yet
and it looks as if we won’t.”
Thousands more of soft coal
miners had returned to work to
day without awaiting outcome of
the contempt trial.
Work resumption was heavy in
western Pennsylvania, where coal
operators expected output would
reach 90 per cent of normal.

Booby Traps Slop
Sun Gazers, Kiska
WASHINGTON, —(;P) —Booby
traps and land mines have forced
a change in plans of the National
Geographic Society, to study the
May 8, eclipse of the sun from
the north end of Kiska Island.
The society said today that it
is now checking to decide which
of the secondary observation sites
on the island will be best for the
observations.
The hidden explosives were left
behind when the Japanese forces
evacuated the Aleutian Islands in
World War II. Army authorities
the society said, offered to sweep
an area on the northern slope
but so much area was involved
that it was considered too diffi
cult a task.
The society said the Japanese
probably mined the slopes in an
ticipation of an American am
phibious assault. Instead, the Jap
anese were evacuated by submar
ine. The Americans, when they
did land, did not attempt to use
the northern approaches.

criminal contempt.”
Later, he said that ‘‘of course
the defendants also are guilty of
civil contempt on a technicality,”
but added:
“The court doesn’t emphasize
the civil contempt.” ^
This indicated the judge might
impose a lighter fine on the union
this time.
Goldsborough said that what
the court will do in the way of
punishment “is being watched by
every lawless element in the
world—also by all decent people—
to ascertain whether or not courts
have the power to protect the citi
zens of this country in their nor
mal way of life.”
Government officials are watch
ing it also to see what effect it
may have on coal mining. Only
about two-thirds of the miners
have yet gone back to work. Many
have said they were waiting the
outcome of Lewis’ contempt trial.
Lewis sat with a half sneer
on his lips as Goldsborough talked
j extemporaneously about his rul
ing.
