Lewis Works On
Miners' Policy
Committee Set To
Call Strike Monday
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15—OJ.R)—
John L. Lewis, with a strike dead-
line less than a week away, huddled
with the United Mine Workers'
wage-policy committee today to
report on more than a month's
bargaining with the coal industry.
The 200-man committee was set
to call a strike next Monday if
current negotiations fail to produce
a contract for 475,000 miners. Lewis
was scheduled to meet with the
group behind closed doors <at 10
a. m. EDT).
Lewis remained silent on what
he would tell the committee. But
industry sources reported it would
not be good news.
“Good Possibility"
While negotiations appeared on
the way to probable settlement last
Friday, these sources said a last-
minute change made a 1952 coal
strike a "good possibility."
Without disclosing what caused
the sudden turn of events, one in-
formant said “we thought we were !

(U»— Eyewitness accounts of a
‘*11. glowing monster with a
blood-red face skulking in the
hills divided Braxton county-
today into two camps—believers
and skeptics.
Seven persons said they saw the
■ unearthly being, described as
“worse than Frankenstein" in
the hills above Flatwood, W. Va.,
Friday night.
State police and a number of
residents hooted at the reports as
u product of mass hysteria. Police
said the eyewitnesses' guess as to
the monster's height varied from
seven to 17 feet.
10 Feet Tall
The excitement began when
the two young sons of Mrs.
Kathryn May, a Flatwood beauti-
cian, said they saw a "flying
saucer" land on C. B. Fisher's
farm near here.
Mrs. May, National Guardsman
Gene Lemon and five boys
climbed a hill on the Fisher farm
to look for the "saucer.”
Mrs. May said a "fire- breathing
monster, 10 feet tall with a bright
green body and a blood red face,”
bounced and floated toward them.
“It looked- worse than Fi-anken-
stein," she said. "It-couldn't have
been human."

Lemon, 17. said he thought he
saw- a 'possum or a coon until he
put his flashlight dn "the thing,”

Classwork Begins
On Oil's Birthday
NORMAN. Sept. 15—OJ.R)—Class-
work started today at the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, 50 years to the
day of the school's founding.
Por ROTC students and in-
structors, though, it was more than
the beginning of a new semester.
Lieutenant Oeneral William H.
Hodge inspected the unit In the
first part of a two-day tour of
state military installations. Hodge
will visit Oklahoma A. and M. col-
lege and Tulsa tomorrow.
Since the university’s founding
In 1802 in a three-room rock build-
ing 42.000 students have received
degrees and 92,000 others have been
enrolled.
The first faculty consisted of
President David Ross Bovd, Edwin
Debarr, W. N. Rice and F. 8. E.
Amos. The university this fall has
a faculty of 800 und more than
7,000 students.
Mrs: May said Lemon stored

duckwulked toward them. All of
them fled, occasionally looking
over their shoulders.
The monster, Mrs. May said,
had an overpowering metallic
odor that nauseated them. She
said they vomited for several
hours.
A. Lee Stewart, co-publisher of
the Braxton County Democrat,
received the first report from Mrs.
May. Tile veteran newspaperman
organized an armed posse and
v.-ent to the scene.
Brush Trampled
"The odor was still there,"
Stewart said. "It was sort of warm
and sickening. And there were
two places about six to eight feet
In diameter where the brush was
trampled down."
"I hate to say I believe it. but
I hate to say I don't believe it."
Stewart said. “Those people were
scared—badly scared, and I sure
smelled something."
Authorities said they believed
the "flying saucer" which Mrs.
May’s sons saw was a metorite.
The incident occurred during a
meteor shower over a three-state
area.
NEW YORK. Sept. 15—(U.B—The
American Federation of Labor
opened ifs 7ist annual convention
today with an appeal to trade
unionists to support the Democratic
party in the national elections.
The appeal was made by Martin
T. Lacey, president of the Central
Trades and Labor council of Oreater
New York, as he took over as tem-
porary chairman in the opening
session of the eight-day convention.
The 800 delegates representing
more than 8,003,000 AFL members
will endorse a presidential candi-
date next week after hearing
speeches by both major nominees.
AFT, President William Oreen has
indicated he believes the endorse-
ment will go to Governor Adlai E.
Stevenson, the Democratic candi-
date.
Rejected By GOP
Lacey reminded delegates that the
AFL had submitted platform pro-
posals to both parties, prior to their
national conventions, calling for
repeal of the Taft-Hartley law.
'The Republican party rejected
our proposals and declared flatly
for retention of Taft-Hartley,” he
said. "The Democratic party re-
acted sympathetically to our pro-
posals and even more flatly declared
for repeal of Taft-Hartley. using
almost the identical language of
the AFL representatives.
Ike Gets Chance
“I do hot see how any trade
unionist can support a party and
candidates who support Taft-Hart-
ley. It should not be difficult,
therefore, to determine who are our
friends in the great campaign of
1952 ..."
Lacey said a union man who
votes for a candidate who is not a
dependable friend of labor "Is strike
breaking at the ballot box."
Although the convention was ex-
pected to endorse Stevenson, it will
give Dwight D. Elsenhower a chance
to tell labor where he stands in
an address Wednesday.

ABOARD EISENHOWER SPECIAL, Sept. 15—(UP)—
Dwight D. Eisenhower made his first “whistle stop” speech
today at Fort Wayne, Ind., and told 5,000 persons the U. S.
was “fumbled” into the Korean war.
, The Korean war is a war into which we were fumbled
without plans to win,” Eisenhower said as a cordial crowd
gathered in fair, pleasant weather at 9 a. m. It was the
first appearance of his first rear platform rail tour across
12 states.
“We must turn our hearts and minds to a way to bring
it to a close,” he said.
Eisenhower also discussed communism and the national
debt.
Everything vile which could have been said against me
has been said by Communists,” Eisenhower said. “I am
proud of every vile name they called me.”
The retired general wore a gray double-breasted suit as
he spoke 11 minutes from a platform erected near the rail-
road station. He was intro-.
duced by Representative E.
Ross Adair (Republican, In-
diana), who estimated the
crowd at 5,000.
As his campaign special began
the first leg of the 4,000-mile tour,
Eisenhower issued a statement de-
nouncing President Truman’s com-
pulsory health insurance plan as a
“foolish experiment” which would
destroy the best medical care in
the world.
GOP Attack Promised
The attack on the Truman ad-
ministration was promised by Gov-
ernor Sherman Adams of New
Hampshire, a top political adviser
to the Republican presidential nom-
inee. Adams said the time also had
come to start swinging at Governor
Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic
nominee.
"The campaign to elect the next
president of the United States is
no laughing matter, to be handled
lightly with quips and puns,” Adams
said.
He promised that Eisenhower
would present “honestly, simply but
thoroughly” the issues and prob-
lems that confront the American
people at these critical times.”
Campaigning by train was a new
experience for the retired five-star
general but he lit into it with a
gruelling schedule of about 60 rear-
platform appearances plus at least
half a dozen major night speeches
during the next 12 days.
Coven 12 States
Starting at Fort Wayne. Ind., the
trail ran across 12 states-Indiana,
Illinois, Minnesota. Iowa. Ne-
braska. Missouri. Kentucky, Ohio.
West Virginia. Maryland, North
Carolina and Virginia. They have
a total of 158 electoral votes at
stake in the November balloting.
The attacks on the Truman ad-
ministration "past” centered on
Eisenhower's charge that it has
"bungled and fumbled" domestic
and foreign affairs and become .so
"corrupt" as to earn the title "the
mess in Washington."
