As a matter of fact, he said, the AFL convention in Cleveland recently agreed to accept the four amendments that horrifed Lewis. These four amendments called for: 1.

He has been acting secretary since the resigna' tion of Kenneth C.

It was reported his cheekbone was fractured when he was struck by a senator. UNEMPLOYMENT: Sudden Increase Gray, born in Baltimore, Is not an army career man. But he served three years in the army, enlisting as a buck private in 1942. But he had something on the ball then, and rose to captain with the 12th army group in Europe. THE new secretary would be the governments youngest head of an executive department. For the past 16 months Gray has been the army official responsible for the Indus' trial mobilization and procurement official on his department. A Severe Blow A federal district court of appeals dealt a heavy blow at John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers. Lewis and his union, found guilty of contempt of court for failing to call off the 1948 coal strike, had been fined $1,420,000. They appealed. The higher court upheld the finding and indications were that Lewis and his attorneys would lose no time appealing to the United States supreme court for a final decision. THE CASE grew out of Lewis defiance of the law last year for Ignoring a court order issued under the law that directed the miners to call off a month-ol- d strike in the soft coal fields. The district appeals court ruling made it clear that the decision was based on the fact that Lewis and the miners waited until the demands were met before finally calling off the strike when they had been previously directed by the court to do so. Justice E. Barrett Prettyman said on behalf of the court: THE SUPREME COURT (has) held . . . involving these same appellants, that he who fails to obey a court order Is punishable for criminal contempt. That decision governs us here. The supreme court already had upheld the conviction of Lewis and his miners for defying a similar court order in the 1946 coal strike. It was that ruling to which Judge Prettyman referred.

The AMA, obviously wishing to retain its own identity in matters of policy statements, clapped a gag on Dr. Morris Fishbein, one of medicine's most famous figures. The board ordered him to stop writing or Authority Clipped speaking on anything except medi cine. That meant he could not talk publicly on state medicine nor on the political issues boiling up in the AMAs campaign against the Truman national health insurance plan. Dr. Fishbein is editor of the Journal of the American Medical association. He held no official position beyond that. Tests Complete The United States air force was proud of its newest jet fighter the Lockheed which had successfully completed its flight tests at the Muroc flight test base In California. There was an air of secrecy about the planes performance. Some facts which did emerge were: The plane weighs 26,000 pounds, climbed 15,000 feet in 10 minutes, but that wasn't its maximum, the pilot said. F-9- DRIVING BAD ...

ON one-tim- Whatever its significance, many economists were expressing concern over a sudden upswing in the number of unemployed in the nation. BETWEEN April and May, the number of U.S. jobless had increased by 273,000 to bring the totally unemployed to a probable postwar high of more than 3.25 million. These figures were re leased by the federal bureau of the census.
