WARD Washington, © June 14--(AP) Pressures mounted on both sides of Re soft coal contract talks today barely three weeks left to av- another country-wide strike. The present wage pact expires June 30, but an industry-wide va- tion to July 5 makes that the ac- ual deadline against which John Lewis and the operators are wor- g. The bargainers are scheduled to me their efforts today. Saturday, Lewis began talking ontract terms for the first time in week of conferences. Up to then had insisted on winning a com- nitment from the operators to as- me nearly $20,000,000 worth of stress payments to miners which he lined up under the nearly-spent elfare fund of 1046. The 1946 fund was established uring government operation of the nes. The operators themselves did ot take part directly in setting up or in spending it. Lewis and her members of the fund's board trustees agreed tora series of yments which would carry over br as long as another year from ow. But the operators refused to ac- ept those obligations. The fund hich they agreed to establish last y, known as the welfare and re- ement fund of 1947, has been ozen" because Lewis and Ezra an Horn, the operators' trustee, puld not agree on a miners' pen- on 'system. That issue will be decided next aturday by Justice T. Alan Golds- prough. Van Horn has asked the idge to stop Lewis and Senator ylés Bridges (Rep.-N.H.), the neu-- trustee for the '47 fund, from ing any of its 40,000,000 with- an Horn's signature. Van Horn ntends the Bridges-Lewis pension an would violate the Taft-Hartley hbor Act. Bridges voted with Lewis last iday to free the 1947 fund and ke on the liabilities of the 46 d ect to changes after a wly authorized study of costs is mpleted about Aug. 1. Van Horn ain 'voted "no." | failure to ke City. Among others, the Arab states are understood to want headquar-~ ters in Europe, Egypt, Syria, Saydi Arabia, Irag and Lebanon, along with Australia end EI Salvador, voted against New York when the Assembly made the selection Dec. 14, 1946. At that time, the Arabs said their ballots were a protest against New York and not other United States cities. However, they are said to be con- vinced now that no location in the United States is suitable, Bitterness over Zionist influence is the pri- mary factor, The two biggest question marks in the manoeuvring are Britain and Russian, Britain, who originally wanted Eu- rope, under certain conditions might, switch back to support of Geneva. If Congress fails to approve the loan, Russia is expected to seize the opportunity to assail American promises and charge that Wash: is letting down the U.N. Future politica] developments are expected to decide whether Mos- cow then will go a step further and join in the move to pull the U.N. out of the United States. Reports from Washington say house leaders have no present plans to put through the loan before the expected adjournment next Satur- day. However, should Congress go back into session after the poli- tical conventions, the loan still could be approved before the U. N. Assembly opening Sept. 21. 'The Security Council is in recess today. It will convene tomorrow to study the Palestine siutation. LJ Ontanuo.

Premier For Slander Regina, June 14 -- (CP) -- With the province's two major political | figures involved as principals, a $100,000 slander suit today loomed across the Saskatchewan election | campaign picture, | Walter Tucker, Provincial Liberal { Leader, said Saturday he will sue | Premier Douglas for defamation. His Saskatoon lawyers immediately | began legal action against the Pre- mier, asking $100,000 for alleged damages to "Mr. Tucker's reputa- tion and credit." | The lawsuit--launched less than two weeks before the June 24 pro- vincial election--followed a cam- paign speech Friday by Mr. Doug- | las at Rosthern. The Premier said Mr. Tucker was being sued for allegedly fraudulent- | ly depriving some people of their | farm lands. From Meadow Lake Mr. Tucker issued a statement saying the law- suit against him was the result of a "conspiracy" by the Premier and Dr, M, C. Shumiatcher, government legal advisor, "to get an action started so that it could be used by them in the election in an attempt to defame my character." Mr, Tucker said the action re- ferred to had never been before the court except on a motion by the | defendants to strike out portions of phe plaintiff's statement of claim on the grounds that it disclosed no cause for action. Watrous, Sask., June 14 --(CP)-- | Premier T. C. Douglas said in a | week-end campaign speech here that three issues will face electors in the June 24 Saskatchewan elec- on, The voters will have to decide whether they approve of a govern- ment which puts its program into effect, he said, whether they want to retain the gains made and whether they approve the policies of the federal Liberal administra- tion. "Walter Tucker (Provincial Libe eral Leader) has been trying to calm people's fears by saying the Liberals won't destroy the good things the C.C.F. has done," the Premier continued, He then said he would like to ask Mr. Tucker why every Liberal member had voted against these "good things." If the Liberals were elected, he said, all the crown corporations would be disposed of and revenue would leave the province: The Lib- erals then would not have the money to supply the services now provided by the C.CF.

Today's Short Story SECOND HONEYMOON By HELEN HATCH ILL sighed: The house was emp- ty. A thin layer of dust cover- ed the furniture. In the kitchen the breakfast dishes waited in the sink. He frowned. This wasn't .1lke Janet, But she had been a dif- ferent person ever since their son, Tom, and Peggy Adams had an- nounced that they were getting married. Janet was shocked. You're too young!" "We're older than you and dad were," Tom reminded her. "You | made a go of it. We can, too." His mother protested. He wasn't | through college, they couldn't live on his part-time job and army scholarship. But the two young | people had an answer for every- | thing. : "We don't want any fuss," Peggy said. "We'll run away and get married, like you did." "You certainly won't," snapped Janet. "You want something you can remember all your life. Not getting a justice of the peace out of bed on a rainy night and having hamburgers for a wedding break- fast--" "I never knew you felt like that," Bill said reproachfully. "I'm sorry. I've never regretted it--for us. But I want things dif- ferent for them." A step on the porch interrupted Bill's reverie, and he opened the door for Janet. "Oh, no! "I didn't mean to be so late," she said wearily. "Looking for a place. for those kids to live. I don't know what to do, Bill. They haven't tried to find an apart- ment, Peggy hasn't even. thought about her dress -- and, worst of all, they don't even seem to care!" "Why should they, when you'll do it all for them? Let them work things out for themselves like we did." Bill brushed Janet's hair with his lips. "Remember?" She smiled up at him, and they stood together silently, thinking of the boy and girl who had elop- ed the night of their high school graduation, twenty-three years ago. Things hadn't been easy: the disapproval of their families, Tom's birth and Janet's illness afterward, the depression. But they had weathered it because they loved each other. Bill's arm tightened around his wife. He was not going to lose her now. Over a hastily prepared supper he said, casually, "Let's run up to New York next. week, honey. I have to go on business." At the startled look in Janet's eyes he added. "You know you've always prorised that after Tom grew up we'd spend more . time to- gether." "But I couldn't go now! There's so much. to dp--" "All the more reason why. you need a rest." Bill nodded at Tom's empty chair. "You don't have to stay home for him. He's never around any more." "Wait until after the wedding. | Then I'll go with you--sometime," Janet said vaguely. "You'll be over at Peggy's or | doing the washing or helping her hang curtains. And in a year or | so you'll be taking care of your first grandchild." "That isn't fair! All I want is to get them married properly. Then I won't interfere." Bill smiled, thinking of the struggle they had had with Janet's well-meaning mother. "Let's wor- ry about that later." He covered her hand with his. "Please come, 'oney. Do it for me -- and for yourself." "All right," she said finally. * * - "It's been wonderful, Bill," she | said as they returned to the hotel. | on the last night of their visit. "I almost hate to go back." Bill laughed and stopped at the desk for his key. The clerk hand- ed him a telegram and Bill saw |- Janet's face whiten. He put a steadying hand on her arm. "Wait till we get to our room. I'll open it there." The door closed behind them and, as Janet watched tensely, Bill read the slip of paper. He smiled. "Everything's married." ! "Married? Oh, no!" Janet snatched the telegram from him and read aloud, slowly, *" 'Took your advice and ran away last night. Bought a trailer. Tell moth- er not to worrk. Love. Peggy and Tom. " j "Ran away! Instead of having a wedding as F had planned! And only a trailer to live in! Oh, Bill!" Janet began to cry. "Now, look here." Bill's usual- ly pleasant voice was stern. That's how they wanted it, It's their life, not yours." "You aren't surprised," Janet said suspiciously. "Did you put Tom up to this? Is this what he means--'took your advice'? How could yo-do this to me?" "For your sake and the chil- dren's, I had a long talk with Tom before we left. I told him that they had four days to get married and find a home." "All by themselves?" "Of course they can, it you give them a chance." Bill sat on the arm of his wife's chair. "Keep out of their married life, too. Re- member the trouble we had when your mother insisted that we couldn't raise Tom without her help?" Janet laughed. "We were fu- rious." She paused, then said slowly, "But I never thought -- I wouldn't want my children to feel | that way about me." | "They won't -- now." Bill kiss- | ed her. "Well, there isn't any hur- ry to get home. Let's go by way | of Niagara Falls. After all, this is the beginning of a second hon- eymoon!" fine.
