Lewis Calls i
Krug A Liar
WASHINGTON, OP)— John L. j
Lewis declared today that secre- !
tary of interior Krug uttered “a i
nlsehood” in charging the United !
Mine Workers with a lack of co
operation in the coal mine safety
measures.
“That is one of Krug’s charac
teristic slurs—a falsehood,” the
UMW leader told the Senate pub
1 c lands committee after Senator
Dworshak <R.-Idaho), read to him1
oa’t of Krug’s testimony at an ear
lier hearing.
The committee is investigating
the Centralia, 111., mine blast Mar.
25, which killed 111 men. Lewis re- (
iterated today the disaster was)
“due to the negligence” of Krug,
boss of the government-seized pits.1
“The nation cannot afford to1
continue to kill and wound with
impunity, the men who mine the
nation’s coal,” he told the com
mittee. ,
