O’Neill, who is with task force

opinion in a letter received this
week by Ills aunt, Mrs. Rube Wall,
Geary. The communication, written
Jan. 18 in the Bay of Wales, Little
America, was the first letter re-
ceived from him since the expedi-
tion left the United States during
the latter part of 1946. He had
been there only a few days at the
time his letter was written, and
he reported the first mail for mem-
bers of the expedition was due to
reach them within another week.

Dowell opened the game with a

early eight-point margin from fa-
vored Pla-Mor five and leaving the
fans thinking they were witnessing
the biggest upset to be seen in the

But the Pla-Mor cagers regained
their stride and held a 14-10 lead

OKLAHOMA CITY, Mar. 6 —(TP)
—Every teacher in Oklahoma with
three years college training will
receive a $300 a year raise under
a new school bill to be drafted
by a special senate committee,
Raymond Gary, its chairman, said
today.
Gary said tile special committee
would trim the original school aid
measure from $26,500,000 to $18,-
000,000, “and still make salary
raises.”
The common school aid bill was
sent to Gary’s special committee
yesterday as administration forces
hi the senate overrode the school
bloc holding out for $26,500,000 by
a vote of 21 to 12.
“This special committee," Gary
said, “is very sympathetic toward
the classroom teachers of the state.
"We are aware of who needs thcli
raise in salary and we will assure
the classroom teachers they will
receive a raise in salary In line
with the reebnunehdation of the

Supreme Court
Rules Against
John L. Lewis
Labor Leader And
Mine Union Held
Guilty of Contempt
WASHINGTON, Mar. 6 —(TP)—
The supreme court ruled 7-2 to-
day that John L. Lewis and his
mine union were guilty of con-
tempt for flouting a court order
to halt last fall's soft coal strike.
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson
read the extraordinary mid-week
decision to a startled courtroom.
It represented a smashing victory
for President Truman's “fight to
the finish" against Lewis and the
United Mine Woriteis for creas-
ing off their contract to mine
coal for the government.
The decision put over the heads
qf the United Mine Workers, too.
a *2,800,000 penalty if they strike
again on Mar. 31. The miners
ended last fall's 17-day walkout
under orders to work only until
that date.
Explanation Offered
That comes about this way:
The court upheld a *10,000 fine
against Lewis personally and red-
uced from $3,500,000 to $700,000
the fine against the union. But
it said that unless the union
complies with the court order
against breaking off its contract
with the government, then the
$2,800,000 shall be retmposed.
Moreover, the high tribunal’s
decision lequires that Lewis
formally withdraw Ills notice of
ending the contract. He must do
that within five days after the
, high court’s order reacnes the
U. S. district court here where
the contempt case was tried.
And he is forbidden to Issue
another contract-ending order un-
til the courts have ruled on
[whether he can legally do that. As
El Reno highschool Indians, state a practical matter, that might

Strong Language Used
Vinson used strong language In
speaking of Lewis' stand that he
could (1) withdraw a contract with
the government for mining by his
union members, and (2) ignore a
wort, order Selling him not to-do
that until the court could rule on
the legal issues.
Vinson spoke of Lewis' attitude
toward the court order as "stud-
ied and deliberate non-oompli-
anoe,” and said:
“A majority (of the court) feels
that the course taken by the un-
ion carried with it such a serious
threat to orderly constitutional
goventnent and to the economic
and social welfare of the nation,
that a fine of substantial size is
required in order to emphasize the
gravity of the offense or which
the union was found guilty.”
Condition Stated
The court majority specified
that in cutting the union's fine to
$700,000 it was doing so on this
condition:
The union must pay an addi-
tional fine of *2,800,000 unless it
shows within five days after the
supreme codrt issues its mandate
that it has fully compiled with the
lower court's order.
