Eugene McAuliffe, president of Aimme and the Union Pacific Coal company, attacked governmental govern-mental action in moving West Virginia coal across the continent to the Pacific coast and the leadership lead-ership and financial policies of national labor unions. Government policies aiso were criticized by W. J. O'Conner, manager man-ager of the Utah department of the American Smelting and Refining Refin-ing company, who championed the laboring man. Other speakers at the meeting included A! G. Mackenzie, manager man-ager of the Utah Metal Mine Operators' Oper-ators' association, who spoke against "enemies of silver;" J. O.

Ells- wood, D., Ogden, the measure will remain in the house. Elswood said that amendments were being considered to allevi ate problems now existing in city courts in several Utah cities. Also passed by the house was a measure to permit the state chemist to have access to all factories fac-tories in the state where food is processed. Principle bills introduced in the senate yesterday included a measure meas-ure by George M. Miller, D., Price, which' would assess mines at the rate of $5 per acre and in addition at a value equal to the net annual proceeds. The present law levies the tax at a value of twice the net annual proceeds. The measure also would raise the occupation tax on mines from one to two per cent of the gross value of the ore sold.. Funds ob tained from this tax would be credited one-half to the uniform school fund and one-half to the state general fund. This tax formerly for-merly went to the general fund. Another bill by the revenue and taxation committee would add $2.50 penalty for failure to fill an income tax return, if that amount is greater than the 25 per cent of the total tax penalty now pro vided for in the statutes. ; k 111 ul Mr' ' WW . -Vl lap ' .

Six thousand enemy troops, including three generals, were taken prisoner in a few hours, a Soviet communique said, and 3,000 were killed. The work of cleaning out the survivors of Adolf Hitler's full- scale attack on Stalingrad continued, con-tinued, and it appeared that there now were only about 5,000 left of the 220,000 men that the Rus sians encircled there. The Mos cow radio broadcast a report that a German general surrendered at Stalingrad with all that remained of the 297th division. Stockholm heard reports that Germany was strengthening de fenses in southern Norway. Reinforcements Re-inforcements have arrived for German garrisons, it was said, and barricades and tank traps have been built at such towns as Moss, Askim and Skjeberg. The Berlin radio announced that a proclamation from Hitler wuold be read tomorrow at the ceremony celebrating the 10th anniversary of the accession of the Nazis to power. Speculation in Allied sources was that strin gent new regulations would be announced to the German people to put the reich on an all-out war basis. President Roosevelt, on the re turn trip from the historic Casa blanca conference, conferred at Natal with President Getulo Vargas Var-gas of Brazil. Mr. Roosevelt also visited President Edwin Barclay of the Negro republic of Liberia, 1 andf reviewed American Negro .troops stationed there. Highlighting the Second ward athletic carnival held last night in the Dixon Junior high school gym, two of the local police force members, Rulon Poole and Carroll Despain, gave a fencing exhibition exhibi-tion as a climax to a talk on the use of foils and the art of fencing. Boxing and wrestling were tne bulk of the program with one of the most interesting bouts of the evening a spiderweight scrap be tween Wayne "Killer" Cftristo- pherson and John "Kid" D'an- holder at 55 pounds. The bout was declared a draw by Referee Rulon Myers. Other boxing and wrestling ex hibitions were given and the pro gram was filled out with two song and dance numbers.

Aside from Portuguese Guinea, it is the only place of importance between Mar-rakech Mar-rakech and Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. Furthermore, it is only a little more than half way between those two cities. There was no announcement or comment here on the dispatches from Brazil on the Roosevelt-Vargas Roosevelt-Vargas conference. The official Brazilian announcement said that details of the conference at Natal Na-tal the nearest point in the western hemisphere to Dakar, the most western point in Africa would be revealed after Vargas has returned to Rio De Janeiro. It was taken for granted here that all phases of the war, especially es-pecially those directly concerning the western hemisphere, were discussed dis-cussed at Ntal. In Liberia, President Roosevelt paid his respects to President Edwin Barclay of that tiny Negro republic which was founded by freed slaves from the United States in 1822, and now has about 20,000 American Negroes among the population. Mr. Roosevelt Roose-velt also ate in the mess of American army officers stationed there, rode in a jeep to review troops, and inspected the huge and expanding Firestone rubber plantation near Monrovia. The president and hi& party flew from Marrakech to Monrovia Mon-rovia in two four-motored army planes. With the president were his close- friend and advisor, Har ry L. Hopkins; surgeon - general of the navy and White House physician, Ross T. Mclntire, and Capt. John L. McCrea, naval aide to the president. The Casablanca conference alone was enough to make the president's first flight since he entered the White House in 1933 one of the spectacular events of this war. But now with his other stops, it became more apparent that it would outrank any other grand tour of a high ranking government gov-ernment official in recent years. The only comparable trip was Churchill's visit- to Moscow last year. , POTATOES and vegetables. 1800 West 6 South. Preston Carter. f4 WHEEL chair.
