Ching To Open New Drive To End Coal Strike
Washington, Nov. 1- (U.P.)-Govement labor officials, encouraged by the break in the steel strike, mapped a new campaign today to end the 44-day-old soft coal walkout.
Federal mediation director Cyrus S. Ching was expected to reenter the coal dispute soon—probably before the end of this week.
Government officials predicted that Ching will call mine boss John L. Lewis and coal industry representatives together for a final try at settlement. If that conference fails, they said, the chances are Ching will turn the whole matter over to the White House.
Such a move would open the way for a possible anti-strike injunction against Lewis' United Mine Workers under the Taft-Hartley act. The president said last week he would use that law—even though he detests it—if the strike should reach national emergency proportions.
Settlement of the steel strike would be almost meaningless without an accompanying agreement in coal since the mills and smelting furnaces are dependent upon the mines for fuel.
Also, it was the coal strike which was causing the greatest concern across the nation. With cold weather setting in stockpiles were dwilling and railroads were talking about cutting their schedules another 25 per cent from the 25 per cent reduction in operations last week.
Southern coal operators were scheduled to resume negotiations with representatives of the miners' union today in Bluefield W. Va. Talks between the union and the northern operators broke off several days ago.
Coal industry sources were not optimistic over the prospect that the agreement between the C.I.O. Steel-workers and Bethlehem Steel corp., might speed settlement of the coal controversy.
John D. Battle, executive vice president of the National Coal association, commented that the C. I. O. contract with Bethlehem gives employees only "about half" of what the coal industry already has given the miners.
Government and union sources predicted that the Bethlehem settlement would quickly bring an end to the steel strike which is a month old today.

Frankenstein Scatters Crowds As He Walks The Streets Of Lawrence
Bv WILLIAM R. STRATTON
Many citizens of Lawrence were somewhat alarmed to observe an enormous Frankenstein-like monster move down the middle of Massachusetts street shortly before midnight today. Leading *grotesque hulk* was his weird cohort, Igor.
Soon after the appearance of the unnatural figures, traffic was in momentary confusion as drivers attempted to avoid the determined pair who approached each car in an effort to avoid the crash. The proach invariably resulted in mingled astonishment and fear and a frantic locking of doors.
Not content with a number of upset motorists, the couple moved to the Granada theater where they provided unscheduled fun at the late show. Row after row of seats were cleared as Frankenstein and his twisted comrade advanced on startled persons. In his pursuit Frankenstein appeared quite normal—all of his proposed victims were girls. However, his persistent attentions were not enjoyed by his feminine audience. One member dashed to the powder room to lock herself in.
From the theater, the two crossed to a cafe to create considerable disorder, both among customers and waitresses. One waitress displayed an admirable spirit of defiance by laughing at "Frankie" until he had moved within an arm's reach of her. At this point the bold lass appeared to reconsider her position, for her laugh rose to a shriek, and she filed into the kitchen to remain there.
The giant stopped next at the Union Bus depot. Several weary persons waiting for a bus received an unexpected stimulus to travel as Frankenstein shuffled through the door and dragged a student out in the street.
Citizens of Lawrence don't have to worry about a recurrence of the past night's excitement for another year. The dashing demons were Robert Edward Couch and Clyde Edward Lovellette, College sophomores. Frankenstein was acted by Lovellette who is 6 feet 83/4 inches tall.

Japanese Ponder Results Peace Treaty Would Bring
Tokyo—(U.P.)—When it comes to the question of the peace treaty the Japanese, just for this one time, would like to be able to cake and have it.
The treaty, which would enable Japan to become once more "independent" is infinitely to be desired. Yet, many Japanese quake in their wooden sandals to think that it would lead to withdrawal of American troops and leave the country vacant for Russian aggression.
A realistic school of Japanese thought leads toward continuance of an informalized peace, and to last until the international situation is stabilized.
An editorial in the English-language Nippon Times, published in Tokyo said:
'Many Japanese are not agreed that a peace treaty at any early date is necessary. There are those who express complete satisfaction over the present state of 'peace without a peace treaty,' where trade contracts are being included, Japanese citizens are going abroad, and numerous controls are being returned to the Japanese government.
Fear for Future
"Others seriously feel that the nation will not be able to stand sufficiently on its own feet as yet
"But whether pro or con, the question which invariably crops up is that of security; whether Japan would be able to maintain her independence both internally and externally if put on her own.
"That is the $64 question as far as all sincere Japanese citizens are concerned.
"Many Japanese fear that the nation cannot protect itself. That feeling is intensified by the fact that the Communists and the rightist groups are so insistent upon an early peace treaty and the removal of occupation forces. The motives of these minor extremist groups are too clear.
"Internationally, the Japanese peace treaty question will most certainly raise a furor.
"Despite Gen. Douglas MacArthur's confidence that the Japanese people have earned the right to a peace treaty, many nations still fear the resurgence of the military Japan of the past. They feel that democracy could not possibly have taken roots in the four post-war years."
"That such fears should be expressed is not surprising, but that they are not compatible with actual conditions in present-day Japan any close observer of this nation can see.
"The question of when, how, and what of a peace treaty is purely an academic matter as far as the Jap anese people are concerned. As for the expression of the Japanese position in any peace settlement the people, with full confidence in the discretion and judgment of Gen MacArthur, should not be at all concerned.
"What the Japanese people,how ever, must do is to exert ever greater efforts towards national recovery and the establishment of truly democratic nation."
