The letter of Mathesius stated that the, disputed coal land lies contiguous to the south and east j boundaries of federal coal lands (which Geneva now is working under federal lease. It added that fat the time U. S. Steel bought the t Geneva plant its representatives i"were informed that under the established policy of the interior ; department it would not lease the & coal lands immediately south of the present Geneva mine to any-Jone any-Jone else, but would' reserve such 5 land for extension of the Geneva xrnine in exchange for other lands i to be relinquished by Geneva as coal therein was extracted." f Mathesius further significantly said, "The idea of additional I cooking coal for the Geneva mine is x limited by the area, covered by the Kaiser application. Consequently, Conse-quently, granting of the Kaiser f application would restrict future developments of the Geneva f mine and would make unavailable unavail-able coal reserves on which fu-I fu-I ture operations of the Geneva I steel plant are dependent." i Calhoun said Kaiser has leased I from the Utah Fuel Co. its old $ Sunnyside mine No. 2 which it has operated as its only source fof cooking coal for its Fontana RIDE A SADDLE HORSE IN JULY 4th PARADE Horses for rent at Mountain Side Stables, Inc. 1400 ast 8 North, Provo steel Tplant, Kaiser applied last January 8 to lease the disputed 2150 acres which had been withheld with-held by Defense Plant Corp. as a source of cooking coal for the Geneva steel mill while it .was in government -ownership. - . -: Calhoun- insisted that U.

Steel, now holding the maximum maxi-mum coal area 'it can acquire in Utah under the existing leasing law, should ' not be allowed to take advantage . of the Dawson bill and outbid Kaiser for the 2150 acres. , If this land should be put up for competitive bidding, Calhoun said. U. S. Steel would oe aoie to far outbid Kaiser company,' therefore he insisted on an amendment that would bar U.S. Steel from bidding for or leasing this particular land.

This reference also might be taken as the Russian opinion since Yugoslavia is cemented into the Soviet bloc. Nevertheless, there was a sort of blind optimism in Paris about the conference. It appeared to be based on very little the smile on Bidault'8 face after yesterday's meeting, the comment of the British delegation that 'the atmo sphere was "very good," the re venal of the French communist convention at Strasbourg in its attitude toward the Marshall plan. Another flood omen was the size of the Russian delegation 95 persons. This would indicate that Molotov plans more than a preliminary survey of the Mar shall plan and might be ready to enter into it wholeheartedly.

If the government is set up im mediately, the United States said in a note, this government would be willing to consider a loan to Indonesia. Indonesia applied for a $100,-000,000 $100,-000,000 export-import bank loan more than 18 months ago. Action has been held up pending solution solu-tion of the "disturbed political situation there," diplomatic offi cials said. The American note was handed to Indonesian authorities by Walter Wal-ter Foote, U. S. consul general at Batavia, Java, after the Dutch- Indonesian truce s threatened to erupt into full-scale war next Monday. Indonesian leaders have reject ed Dutch proposals for an interim government to serve, until Jan. 1, 1949. In its note, the United States expressed concern over Dutch- Indonesian difficulties "as a fac tor in world stability, both eco nomic and political." Formation of the interim government on Dutch terms, it said, "was urgently urgent-ly necessary."

Earlier today, Colwell had promised to have 350 striking workers at the New Products corporation ring the church in a solid picket line and defied authorities to carry out their threat of arresting every picket who appeared near the church. Displayed on the small placards were such messages as: "Taft and Hartley, infamous names." "Ponoil 4 Via alau laltA. kill "Taft prolongs strikes." "Congratulations groom." One of pickets said the latter sign showed that the union had no grudge against the 24-year-old groom. Taft asked for comment on the picketing, said: "I did not see the demonstration and consequently consequen-tly can not make any statement." The pickets marched three times around a block opposite the church and were closely escorted by a score of city police officers and deputy sheriffs. There were no outbreaks of violence and no arrests. Coal Miners (Continued from Page One) equivalent of 14 blast furnaces. Carnegie-Illinois, largest of the U.
