Lewis Is Assured
Miners Will Get
Wage Increase
WASHINGTON. July 2—(ff,—
Powerful soft coal operators pre-
dicted today that an agreement
will be reached with John L. Lewis
hi time to avert an all-out strike
next Tuesday in the bituminous
industry.
The operators, who asked to re-
inaui anonymous, said the United
Mine Workers' chief already has
been assured by influential indus-
trialists that his soft coal diggers
in northern and western pits will
get their full 35 cents an hour
wage hike demands.
The concessions were made at a
sec let meeting last Thursday at-
tended by Lewis, President Benja-
min P, Fairless of the U.B. Steel
corporation, Chairman George M.
Humphrey of the Pittsburgh Con-
solidation Coal company, and other
northern producers.
Some .industry sources believed
that a deal may be sealed at fur-
ther secret meetings today between
Lewis and operators representing
the bulk of northern and western
mines Lewis kept silent. Govern-
ment sources close to the negotia-
tions said they looked for "impor-
tant developments."
Taft fssues Statement
Meanwhile, Senator Robert 'A.
Taft iRepublican. Ohio), co-author
of the Taft-Haftley labor control
law, said in a statement that "it is
incumbent on both sides to make
every effort to reach an agreement
promptly." He said the situation
"regarding the coal miners Is
unique."
“I have no means of knowing
who Is right, and who is wrong in
the negotiations now proceeding
between tjie union and the em-
ployers," Taft said. "Certainly no
strike was justified prior to July
(before the government released
the mines to private owners), but
I do not know enough at this time
to condemn either the miners'
union or the operators for whBt
may happen after today."
Inquiry Suggested
Taft said President Truman
should appoint a board of Inquiry
under the new act to determine
the merits of the controversy “If
the situation becomes such that It
threatens the nation's health or
safety.”
He opposed suggestions that the
government continue to operate the
mines.
Under the Taft-Hartley law,
President Truman could appoint a
board of inquiry In the coal dis-
pute. After receiving its report, he
could ask Attorney General Tom
Clark to obtain an injunction to
force the miners back to their
Jobs. The injunction would be good
for 80 days while the government
attempted a settlement of the dis-
pute. *
In the absence of a contract be-
tween Lewis and the mine owners,
however, there is some doubt as
to how effective an Injunction
would be.
Lewis’ soft coal miners are now-
on a vacation that is scheduled
to end next Tuesday. Whether
they return to work then depends
on whether a new wage contract
has been signed by then.

Tax Reduction
Move Studied
WASHINGTON. July 2 —iff)—
Republican leaders approached a
decision today on a windup legisla-
tive program in which they may
try again to cut taxes.
They probably will put off until
next year, however, filial action
on universal military training,
federal aid to education and • a
long-range housing program.
The top question before the
Republican lawmakers at an after-
noon conference arranged by House
Speaker Joseph Martin and Chair-
man Robert Taft of the senate
OOP policy committee was whether
to attempt to re-pass the vetoed
34.000.000.000 tax reduction bill.
Last minute nose counts appar-
ently left doubt about the senate's
ability to override possible new
presidential rejection of a measure
to start the proposed Income tax
cuts Jan. 1 Instead of yesterday's
effective date In the original bill.
Order Revised On
Driving License

Judge Roy M. Faublon in Canadian
ounty court Tuesday, the period
of suspension of the driver’s license
of Raymond Carl Joliff was re-
duced from one year to four
months, upon order of the court.
The one-year suspension of the
license was ordered last Feb. 26
when Joliff, 29, of Oklahoma City,
charged with reckless driving,
pleaded guilty in the county court.
At that time he was assessed a fine
of S100 and court costs.

Rebel Leader Dies
In Gun Battle
MANILA, July 2—(ff i—Thirty-
two heavily armed escaped con-
victs last night seized control of
Calapan, capital of Mindoro island,
but military police reinforcements
restored order late today after a
bitter gun fight in which the rebel
leader was killed.
Governor Conrado Morente of
Mindoro telegraphed Malacanan
palace that 10 of the Jail breakers
had been captured, 19 still were at,
l large and three were killed.
Morente, along with Calapan's
mayor. Filomeno Sumaco. the city
police chief and Congressman Raul
LCuterio, were disarmed by th#
escapees but were not held as hi
tages as had been reported prevj
ously, the telegram said.
Heavy reinforcements of military
police were flown to Mindoro to
put down the coup after a Philip-
pines airline pilot managed to fly
to Manila from the embattled cap-
ital and reported the uprising.
The convicts had seized all local
radio transmitters, cutting off com-
munications from Calapan.
The pilot. Flight Captain Manuel
Conde, reported he had been cap-
tured by a Lieutenant Romero,
former military police officer serv-
ing 16 years for rape and who had
boasted he controlled the town.
Conde said Romero was killed
with a bullet in the head during
a bitter battle with military police
at the airport today.
Governor Predicts
Yield Will Exceed
278,000,000 Bushels
COLBY', Kan., July 2—<U.R)—Gov-
ernor Frank Carlson predicted to-
day that the record Kansas wheat
crop, now being harvested, would
exceed the early 278,000,000 bushel
estimate of government experts.
A wheat grower himself, Carlson
said he expected the harvest to top
the government prediction by 25,-
000,000 bushels.
His optimism was based on a
tour of the state’s golden-ripe fields
where huge combines lumbered
back and forth today, cutting wide
swaths through the hip-high grain.
Seven-Year Climax
Carlson said the state “may never
again see a harvest like this.’’
The huge crop climaxed seven fat
years during which each harvest
has been greater than the last. It
was the culmination of a farm
cycle that began in dust and ended
tn dollars.
The governor cut his tour short
today to fly to Omaha for a Mis-
souri river flood control conference
with Brigadier (General Lewis Pick
of the army engineer corps.
Area Converted
Before taking off, however, Carl-
son visited fabulous Hamilton coun-
ty on the Colorado line. Up until
1929 the county’s land was be-
lieved unsuitable for wheat because
ol a rainfall deficiency.
Good sense and good farming
converted the area into one of the
richest agricultural centers in the
country,
The fanners have learned that
greed creates dust bowls. Conse-
quently, they now permit half their
land to lie fallow each year so that
the soil can soak up moisture for
use If the next year is dry.
GUTHRIE, July 2—iff)—A $300,-
000 surprise gift from friends of
mankind in the east who knew
nothing about Guthrie has an-
swered the prayers of Benedictine
sisters here for funds for at charity
hospital.
The gift came through Bishop
Eugene J. McGuinness of Okla-
homa City and Tulsa, who an-
nounced it as he dedicated and
blessed the ^ new structure at
cornerstone-laying ceremonies.
In accepting the $300,000 check,
sent by the Price foundation of
Greenwich, Conn., Mother Superior
Rita gave thanks for the gift and
said the donors “will be remem-
bered in our daily prayers.”
To erect the new hospital, the
sisters took over the skeleton of
a building started and abandoned
by another group several years ago.
Calmly they went ahead and let
a contract for completing and
equipping the 125-bed hospital at
a cost In excess of $500,000, confi-
dent their prayers tor funds would
be answered.
Now the foundation check has
been received, the big hurdle is
past and Bishop McGuinness said
a concerted drive for the remain-
der of the money would start in
about two months.

River Crests At
St. Louis Today
ST LOUIS, July 2 —(ff)— The
muddy Mississippi river appeared to
have reached Its crest here today
after smashing fo"r main levees
yesterday and routing thousands of
persons from their homes in nearby
Illinois communities.
The river remained stationary
at 40.3, a 103-year high, and Harry
F Wahlgren. U. 8. meteorologist,
said it was expected to start falling
before dark.
While the worst of the flood ap-
peared past for the St. Louis area,
the situation southward as far as
Cairo. 111., remained critical.
A levee break In Jackson county,
m„ 100 miles south of here, flooded
the town of Grand Tower and sev-
eral unincorporated areas.
I Walter Whitehead, county dis-
1 aster chairman for the Red Cross,
estimated 320 families fled their
homes in Grand Tower and the sur-
rounding area and said up to 40,000
acres of crops had been lost in the
county.
WASHINGTON, July 2 —(ff)—
Secretary of the Treasury John W.
Snyder announced today the gov-
ernment finished the 1947 fiscal
year Monday with a budget sur-
plus of almost $754,000,000.
That was approximately $500,-
000,000 less than President Tru-
man had estimated on Apr. 19 and
$401,000,000 below the record high
set under President Coolidge ex-
actly 20 years ago.
But it was the first surplus in
17 years and it broke up a string
of deticits that began under Her-
bert Hoover and had continued
under Presidents Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Truman.
Snyder told a news conference
that the surplus—which represents
the amount that government in-
come exceeded spending over the
past 12 months—already has been
applied on the national debt.
With that amount included, debt
retirement over the fiscal year to-
taled $11,522,000,000, Snyder said.
The debt stood at $258,376,000,-
000 on June 30. That was $21,-
388.000,000 below the all-time peak
reached 16 months ago.
The exact amount of the surplus
was $753,787,660.28. For the prev-
ious year, the government had a
deficit of $20,676,000,000. This
meant an Improvement of more
than $21,000,000,000 for last year
compared with the preceding one.
Nash A. Setzer Will
Make Presentation
At a meeting of the El Reno
Elks lodge Thursday night, the
lodge will be presented the Ameri-
can flag which was the last to fly
over the lodge home In 1904 when
It was used as the Oklahoma state
building at the world fair in St.
Louis. Mo.
The presentation will be made by
Nash A. Setzer, Oklahoma City,
who was a member of the El Reno
lodge in 1908.
Setzer, who lived in El Reno for
20 years, has Tesided in Oklahoma
City the past 31 years.
When the world fair of 1904 was
held in St. Louis, commemorating
the Louisiana purchase, the late
Otto A. Shuttee of El Reno was
one of the three commissioners se-
lected to represent the Territory
of Oklahoma.
Mr. Shuttee and his associates
supervised the construction of the
Oklahoma building at the fair and
they also were in charge of the
activities attendant to the care of
the guests visiting at the Oklahoma
building.
At the close of the exposition,
meHiBerj- ofthe 13 WtK6 EBtS toUgj
negotiated to purchase the build-
ing, raze it and remove it to El
Reno where It was reconstructed
as the present Elks home. Hugh
Canton worked with Mr. Shuttee
in purchasing the building and
supervising its reconstruction in
El Reno.
As a reward to Mr. Shuttee for
his servl:es, the last flag to fly
over the building in St. Louis was
given to him. Since El Reno had
the honor of having a fellow citi-
zen, George W. Bellamy, elected as
the first lieutenant governor of
Oklahoma, Mr. Shuttee presented
the flag to Lieutenant Governor
Bellamy who. In turn, passed It on
to Setzer.
Since that time, on each July 4,
the flag has been displayed In
front of Setzer’s home. Slightly
more than a year ago, however,
Mrs. Setzer died and since he no
longer is maintaining a home he
decided to present the flag to the
local lodge so that It again might
fly over its original home.
Preceding Thursday night’s stag
meeting at the lodge, a Dutch
lunch will be served at 7 p. m. A
report will be presented by Burke
Mordy. who was sponsored by the
local lodge in attending Boys State
at Norman in June.

Today's End Of
Paris Parley
Russians Refuse
To Participate In
Cooperative Effort
PARIS. July 2—(ff)— The three.
Power foreign ministers' confer-
ence on the Marshall proposal
ended in failure today when the
Russians refused to agree to Join
In a cooperative International ef,
fort for European economic re,
covery.
The French government immed,
lately announced that France and
Britain would pursue a study at
the Marshall ald-to-Europe pro-
gram along with any countries
which wish to join them.
Before the conference was term,
lnated Soviet Foreign Minister V.
M. Molotov declared that British,
French proposals relating to U. *
Secretary of State George Q.
Marshall's suggestions would lean
to a division of Europe. He alsq
predicted the proposals would
"lead to no good results.”
Lhe British-French suggestions
had dealt with organizing the
continent for mutual self help
with financial and from the United
States.
„A high Soviet official said today’*
session ended the conference.
It is finished," French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault told
French newspapermen as he walk-
ed out of the foreign ministry.
"Travesty Of Facte”
A French ^ source said British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin de-
clared In a heated outburst that
Mololtov’s statement was “a
travesty of facts.”
Well informed sources said Bid,
ault planned tentatively to visit
London, possibly Friday, for de-
tailed talks with Bevin on organiz-
ing a western European—self-help
program with American aid.
The British and French foreign
ministers' were reported ready to
Issue a Joint invitation soon to
all European countries wishing to
Join them on a voluntary balsis In
the program.
A Moscow radio broadcast this
morning stated that Bldault’s
■ latest proposal "in effect does not
differ from the first French pro-
posal-" and the British proposal.”
Molotov had rejected both earlier
plans.
Molotov asked a 24-hour ad-
journment yesterday to study the
Bidault proposal and presumably
to consult the Kremlin by tele-
phone.
Objections Noted
The French compromise sought
to meet Soviet objections that the
anglo-French proposals would sub-
ject European countries to foreign
interference and Infringe on their
sovereignty. Stating that Europe
first must help herself. It proposed
a "cooperation committee” to re-
port before Sept. 1 on Europe’!
means and needs.
The committee would seek an
the basis of volunteered Informa-
tion to determine recovery pos-
sibilities through the efforts of 1«,
dividual European countries and
Inter-European trade. It would ««.
timate the amount of aid needed
from outside Europe—primarily
from the United States.
Diplomats who have talked fro,
quently with Bevin during the con,
ference said he had expected Rus-
sia’s refusal to cooperate from tha
start and was not dismayed in the
slightest by the almost certain di-
vision of Europe into two economy
spheres.
