Has No Effect
On Three-Day
Work Week
WASHINGTON, Jan. II, <A
John L. Lewir today directed
sinking coal ii«*>ers to return to
work next Monday.
Lewis’ order was in the form
of a "suggestion to presidents
of United Mine workers districts
affected by "spontaneous" strikes
in nine states.
His telegram to the district
pre idents said:
"Will you please transmit to our
members who are Idle this week
m.v suggestion that thev resume
production next Monday.”
The telegram was signed, "John
L 1-ewi* "
Hi: order applies to the more
than 77.000 United Mine Work-
ers who went out on wildcat
strikes.
It ha; no effect on the three-
day work week in coal fields ol
operators which have not signed
new contracts with Lewis.
John D. Battle, executive vice
president of National Coal Asso-
ciation. said Lewis' back-to-work
order "does not correct the loss
of production that already has
resulted"
Rattle said that “if Lewis had
been reallv sincere lie would
have told his men to make up
that production."
Battle said that continuation of
the three-day-work week in the
mines merely continues the state
of chaos that existed for some
time in the industry.
Lewi*.' one-'entenee directive
came in the fact of threatened
double-barreled action by the
government.
The Senate Judiciary commit-
tee was under pressure to con-
sider legislation to outlaw labor
monopoly— a move primamlv
aimed at Lewis' three-day woifc
week.
And Robert N Denham, gen-
eral counsel for the National La-
bor Relations Board, said he
probably would decide Fridnv
whether to seek a court order
outlawing the three-dny work
week in the coal fields

For U.S. Failure
To Assisi Formosa
HONOLULU. Jan 11. Ih— Ma-
dame Chianti Kai-Slick, flying to
Formosa to join her husband and
his Nationalist forces m their last-
ditch fight agamtd the Communists
in China, landed here today in a
heavy rainstorm that forced the
pilot to make an instrument land-
ing.
The Pan American Clipper
carrying Madame Chiang was 40
minutes late on txs (light from San
Francisco because of the stcfrrn; a
heavy overcast and the presence
of other planes in the area.
The landing was made under a
700 feet ceiling.
Madame Chiang is returning to
the Far East after 13 unsuccessful
months in the United States dur-
ing which she sought to enlist all-
out suppprt of the U.S. .against the
Communist invasion of her home-
land.
"The American people do not
kitow tbe truth," she said, adding
that "soon tlie map-makers will
print China in red ink and chil-
•dren may be taught that China is
a satellite, a puppet, a province
of the Soviet empire.
"They have been deceived by
propaganda beyond anything ever
set before a nation.
"When the American people
know the truth, when it comes to
their logical minds through their
democratic ores* and radio that
they have been deceived—and in
the deception the Communist
threat is as great for them as for
China—r ightrout wrath will
sweep away these falsehoods."

Supreme Court ruled today that
an "innocent purchaser” of a used
car in Texas is not protected

Police Chief Matthew Mantoni
and a young woman were slain
and limn' other jiersons including
a bandit were wounded early to-
day during a gun battle at the
Red Rooster cate.
Six patrons and employes had
tan'll held for two hours by the
bandit before the shooting took
place.
As well as the 39-year-oRI po-

Wounded during the wild fus

phine Pitasi, 24, of Mendon, a
waitress.
Ward, who hod obtained about
$100 during the robbery and then
hud kept customers and employes
cowed ill the roadside restau-
rant. was under gunrd at the hos-
pital — charged with murder.
He allegedly had entered the
Red Rooster about II p. m. and
had a few drinks. Shortly after
midnight he drew a revolver and
demanded that proprietor Aubrey
llensel hand over cash.
Hensel produced the day's re-
ceipts and Ward then ordered the
customers and employes to line
up against the bar.
The group included Miss Brady,
and employes that included Miiui
Pitasi. Hensel and Otis De Vol.
Until about 2:45 a. m. they
were held prisoner a* Ward
brandished a revolver In front
ot them At about this time Hen-
sel’s wile became worried be-
cause her husband had not re-
turned home and telephoned the
cafe.
Want permitted llensel to an-
swer the telephone but warned
him to give no indication that a
robbery was in progress. How-
ever, Mrs. Hensel became suspi-
cious because of her husbnnd's
guarded replies.
Mrs. Hensel then telephoned
Chief Mantoni at his home and
with policemen Clarence Grant
and Fire Chief Harold Lowell, he
sped to the Red Rooster.
On arrival, Mnntoni peered

become known as the "Texas Doc-
trine” was upset in the opinion
written by Associate Justice John
H. Sharp.
The automobile was purchased
in Decatur. Ga.. by W N Harris,
who mortgaged it to the bank of
Atlanta. However, despite this.
Harris brought the automobile to
Houston, where it was sold to a
used car dealer and in turn sold
to an “innocent purchaser."
The purchaser had no know-
ledge of the mortgage auginst it.
Georgia, the Supreme Court
pointed out, has no "certificate of
title" act. Texas passed such a law
in 1930
However, the court ruled, "the
spirit and purpose of this law is
to prevent fraud: not to encourage
it "
Harris, after purchasing the car
on Dec II. 1947. exeetded a bill
of sale and a chattel mortgage to
the bank of Atlanta, which were
recorded in Fulton County. Ga
However. 18 days later he took
the car to Houston, and operating
there as the P St H Motor Com-
pany, took out a certificate of title
which did not list the mortgage.
He sold the car then to the F L.
Fretr Motor Co., for the original
purehas»> price of $2,000
Two months later Fret* sold the
car to C E Sweiven. and a certi-
ficate of title was issued in

The bank of Atlanta then

gested that the system needed
overhauling, and that the opera-
tors working here did the best
they could with the equipment on
hand.
"Thore are swell girls up at
that switchboard." he said. “They
do the best they can and no one
has any complaints about them.
They deserve everv compliment
we can give them." lie added.
Dial System Promised
Judge Harris reminded citizens
that three veer* ago. when this
same situation arose, the phone
company called rohscribers and
asked how their phones were o-
perating on that day. He added
that thi* nnoroach wa« a dis-
tinct possibility now, but sug-
gested thy subscribers answer
in a manner designed to show
how their nhone service had l>eep
over a period of months and not
for Just one day.

present franchise to operate in
