Soft Coal Miners Return to Work
Pittsburgh—(U.P.)Most of the nation's 375,000 soft coal miners went back to work today, ending their one-week protest walkout over a Wage Stabilization board decision cutting 40 cents from a $1.90-per-day wage boost granted by the operators.
The first of the miners reported to the pits yesterday afternoon after United Mine Worker president John Lyman told them workers to return to work at once.
Mr. Lewis' back-to-work statement was issued yesterday in Washington following a Sunday White House meeting with the industry, and President Truman,
Mr. Lewis' telegram to district UMW leaders pointed out that a "joint industry request to the executive branch of the government for approval of the industry agreement is pending" and "will take a reasonable time" for a decision on the wake boost.
Economic Stabilizer Robert L. Putnam said in Washington today he will not act on the industry-union petition to reverse the WSB until the coal operators come up with further material supporting the request for the full increase.
Indications were that a decision would not be reached until the middle of next week, after the elections.
Meanwhile, Harry M. Moses president of the Bituminous Coal Operators association was reported to be drawing up evidence to support granting of the full $1.90-per-day wage increase. It was expected to be turned over to Mr. Putnam in a day or so.

Methods enabling citizens to take part in political affairs were explained by Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, in a Sociology on the Air broadcast Sunday.
Political Activity Outlined on Air
Prof. Eldridge said three forms of organized citizen activity exist today:
1. Participation in study and discussion programs. He said discussion groups, which often do not take any direct action, influence public policies, as evidenced by letters to governmental officials.
2. Cooperation in election of public officials. The speaker said nonvoters are "contributing toward the overthrow of democratic institutions," and their refusal to exercise their right to vote has created political machines which control electoral processes.
3. Study and action combinations sponsored by nonpartisan organizations. He cited the League of Women Voters to exemplify an organization which attempts to promote political responsibility by participation of citizens in government.
Prof. Eldridge said the only way to offset political patronage is for citizens to engage in local party work, have themselves elected to party committees, and eliminate jobs which tempt patronage seekers.
He pointed out that minor parties, such as the Populist and Socialist, have never been powerful in the United States but have made valuable contributions because they have brought about social changes by making issues out of social needs.

Hunter warden of the U.S. Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, since 1942, will retire Friday, the Federal Prison bureau said today.

Sen. McCarthy 'Expose' Gets Various Reactions
Washington—(U.P.)—Political circles greeted Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's "expose" of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson today with a variety of comment.
The Democratic National committee said the first result of the speech, coming "two minutes" after McCarthy finished, was an "immediate campaign contribution" for Stevenson.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Sparkman, making a campaign speech in Stockton, Calif., called McCarthy's address a "pathetic smear" and "last ditch defense of the Republican old guard."
"The fact that Senator McCarthy has been embraced by Gen. Eisenhower brings sorrow and consternation to people all over the world."
Stevenson, who had warned his followers to expect "the most magnificent of all smears" from McCormick said he did not hear the speech.
James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Post who has assisted Stevenson in preparation of speeches, said "McCarthy's real targets are not Communists but free Americans who happen to disagree
Legion to Tell Vets Of New Law Benefits
An American Legion caravan will be in the new city building at 745 Vermont st., at 8 p.m. today to answer questions and explain veterans' benefits as pertaining to new laws and changes in old laws.
The program, part of a project to visit Legion posts in every county, will be of special interest to student veterans of the Korean war.
The caravan will have representatives of both the Legion and Auxiliary district officers, a field representative from the office of the Kansas Veterans commission, an American Legion rehabilitation representative, and state Legion and auxiliary officers.
Each of the representatives will make short talks on different phases of rehabilitation and will conduct a question and answer forum.
with McCarthy."
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., a writer on the Stevenson staff, said McCarthy "tore a sentence out of context for the purpose of insinuating that I am pro-Communist." McCarthy quoted a Schlesinger article saying Communists should be allowed to teach in universities.
The New York Times said that within 30 minutes after McCarthy spoke its office received 200 telephone calls and numerous telegrams protesting the senator's speech and objecting to the newspaper's editorial support of Eisenhower.
"There is one thing about this speech that should be made clear," the Times said. "It was not an official expression of the GOP as such nor was it approved or endorsed by the Republican nominee for president."
Convicts Demand Talk With Adlai
Menard, Ill.—(U.P.)—More than 200 rioting convicts today demanded to speak with Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson and threatened to hurl seven captive guards from the top of a 40-foot tier of cells if authorities used gunfire to quell the riot.
The prisoners let it be known that they wanted to present their grievances about the state prison directly to Gov. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate.
Meanwhile, 45 state policemen and 280 prison guards hemmed in the rioting convicts with riot guns, but were careful not to excite an incident that might cost the lives of the seven hostages.
Lt. Gov. Sherwood Dixon, who is acting governor when Stevenson is out of the state, said in Chicago that he had made arrangements to fly to the prison in Southern Illinois at $z$ moment's notice.
