expands.
Most of the schools of Colombia are state-owned and state-managed." Trujillo said. "There are some schools of religious orders but they are also subject to a certain amount of government control, and for the most part all education is free. Matriculation fees are levied according to one's income, averaging about one dollar in U.S. money."

Judge Eases Up On Lewis Case
Washington, April 23 — (UP)— Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today indefinitely postponed further penalties against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers for contempt of court. The judge acted on recommendation of the government.
Judge Goldsborough on Tuesday fined Mr. Lewis $20,000 and the U.M.W.$1,140,000 for not calling off the soft coal strike promptly after they were ordered to do so by the court on April 3.
The mine leader and his union had been found guilty of both criminal and civil contempt for failing to obey the original court order. The fines on Tuesday were assessed for criminal contempt. Judge Goldsborough had set today for the sentencing on the civil part of the contempt convictions.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General H. Graham Morison, who handled the government's case against Mr. Lewis and the union, went to court prepared to present recommendations on a sentence if the judge requested them.
However, other officials interested in the case said the government was not seeking any "pound of flesh." They said their chief concern was to get coal production resumed. They want to keep the mines operating until the strike-retarding mechanism of the Taft-Hartley act has been fully exhausted.
The situation in the coal fields had eased considerably today. Eighty five per cent of the miners are at work again.

Jews Win Haifa As Truce Fails: Arabs Flee City

Haifa, April 23 — (UP) — Fifty thousand Arabs in Haifa fled by land and sea today after refusing a Jewish truce demanding that they lay down their arms and submit to search.
More than 6,000 fled by sea in small fishing boats across the bay to Ace, Arab stronghold near the Syrian border. Other thousands, mostly women and children, streamed out by road to Arab strongholds in the hills.
A Jewish agency spokesman in Jerusalem, Walter Eyetan, said all Arabs had been evacuated from Haifa, the last of them being taken out by British army transport. He said that the evacuation was to show up the Jews as ruthless, to influence Arab governments to send more armed men to Palestine, and as a pretext for a later invasion of Arabs from foreign countries.
Other Jerusalem sources estimated the Arab dead in Haifa at 150. They said they had no details on Jewish casualties.
Jewish Hagamah forces fanned out from the city in expectation of quick Arab counterattack. Reports from the outskirts said the battle of Tireh, about four miles south of the port area, was one of the major Jewish actions designed to protect the great oil port from an Arab counterattack.
Both British and Jewish forces felt that Arab laborers would return to their homes within a few days if the city remained quiet.
Three-way efforts for a truce brokel down last night after six hours of conferences when members of the Arab national committee refused to sign despite British urgings.
