Among those taken into custody were Demitrius Partsilliades, Communist secretary - general of the E.A.M.

Lewis coal mining contract. Hartleys attack followed shortly after southern coal operators followed northern and midwestern operators in signing soft coal conUnittracts with the ed Mine Workers. He told the house that at least one clear violation of the law was contained in the contracts, referring to the section providing for a checkoff from the miners wages. The law, he said, permits a checkoff only for union dues, but the contract calls for a checkoff of initiation fees and union assessments. Hartley added, that other sections of the contract violate the spirit and intent of the law. Noting that the contract afforded a prime case history of the evils of industry-wid- e he bargaining, said that there was evidence of collusion between the mine operators and the UMW with the intention of violating the law.

The board, established in June after a series of crashes had taken 146 lives, proposed that: 1. All aircraft operating at night under instrument conditions be required to fly at least 2,000 feet above mountainous terrain and 1,000 feet above level terri- characteristically tory. 2. All scheduled air transports be required to install electronic terrain proximity indicators, operating on the radar principle, in addition to the aneroid altimeters now required in all v planes. The proximity indicators recommended by the board are basically similar to the detection equipment which Howard Hughes, millionaire plane builder, had proposed be installed as standard equipment in commercial planes. The radar detectors, announced by Hughes three months ago, were tested in Washington 10 days before the air safety board incorporated them in its report to the President. Further impetus was given the air safety campaign when Norman McCoy of Blue Mound, 111., president of the Flying Farmers of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, added his organizations endorsement to the nation-wid- e movement. R.S.V.P.: Paris Parley Hungary turned ist down its invitation to attend the Paris conference on European re- construction as 17 other nations lined up to participate in the talks, first step in carrying out the Marshall plan for aiding prostrate Europe. The conference, previously boy-- " cotted by Russia on the grounds that the Marshall plan will be a foothold for American intervention in the internal affairs of Europe, will attempt to set up a scheme whereby Europe, with the aid of American dollar credits and supplies, will be able to lift itself from its economic morass by its bootstraps. In addition to Hungary, four other Communist-inspire- d governments those of Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania dnd Bulgaria also refused OIL EXPORTS: the invitations sent out by Great Britain and France.

Weichel previously had telephoned William C. Foster, undersecretary of commerce, urging him to halt the movement of 248,000 barrels of petroleum being loaded aboard three tankers on the West coast. Explaining his action to the angry Weichel, Foster said that the department did not believe that exports of petroleum and petroleum products should be prohibited or drastically curtailed. To do so would upset the world system of distribution and make petroleum a source of international friction.
