WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS I Miners Cited on Contempt Charge; Compromise Reached on Oleo Bill; U.S. - Bulgarian Relations Severed (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) Out and In SHARING: 'One Great Hour This Sunday March 12, there will occur one of the most unique events in the history of spiritual elevation and man's efforts to help his fellow man. For, on that day some 100,000 churches with approx-imately 25 million members will join in a coordinated appeal for the support of overseas relief and re-construction projects. THE APPEAL will be conducted under the slogan: "One Great Hour of Sharing," and will be made simultaneously in all cooperating churches as part of the regular worship of the day. Church World Service, which is conducting the campaign, is the overseas relief agency of 23 coop-erating Protestant and Eastern Orthodox church bodies. In addi-tion to the denominations affiliated with it, it is supported by the fol-lowing Interdenominational agen-cies: Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, Foreign Mis-sions Conference of North Amer-ica, American Committee of the World Council of Churches, and the PITMEN: A New Angle Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech wrote a new angle into the contin-uing fight between the United Mine Workers and the coal opera-tors. The judge cited the miners themselves for criminal contempt on grounds that the 370,000 UMW members had "willfully and wrong-fully" ignored his back-to-wor- k order. THE NEW ANGLE was that this time the UMW's boss, John L. Lewis was not even mentioned in the citation. Observers pointed out that the citation could lead to l....... QOninct th lUlifin. On United Council of Church Women. These affiliated organizations un-derstand better than perhaps any other organization can the vast need of relief and reconstruction overseas. That so many millions of helpless people may be helped, that they can be given new hope for the future, is one of the chief goals of these many organizations. Last year, Church World Service shipped materials amounting to more than eight million dollars to 50 foreign countries. These relief shipments included about 24 mil-lion pounds of farm products, clothing, bedding, medicines, hos-pital equipment and miscellaneous items. But Church World Service knows that more, much more Is needed. It is for that reason that the uni-fied campaign of "One Great Hour of Sharing" is to be conducted so that all who wish to may have a hand in the organization's humani-tarian work. two previous occasions, Lewis was named defendant when strike issue came into federal court. There was some speculation that omission of Lewis' name from the contempt citation might mean that the government felt that Lewis had been really sincere when he or-dered his miners back to work but no government official would com-ment on the subject. Judge Keech's action came as the east was gripped with bitter cold, with many housewives' coal bins nearly empty. In the meantime, violence flared In the eastern Kentucky coal field as roving mobs wrecked equip-ment at several mines and beat up at least 11 miners. Ten men were beaten in Knox county and one was attacked in Harlan county. SIXTEEN AUTOMOBILES loaded with six men each visited a number of mines, Kentucky state police reported. Twenty-eigh- t bul-lets were fired into a mine man-ca- r hauling miners up an Incline, William Dudley Pelley (left), former Silver Shirt leader, was released on parole from the U.S. prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where he had been serving a sentence on a crim-i- al sedition charge. But as he left the prison gates he was promptly arrested again, be-cause North Carolina has re-quested his extradition in order to try him for violation of the state's securities law. OLEO BILL: A Compromise Congress had reached a compro-mise on what should be done about the bill to repeal federal taxes on oleomargarine. One factor helping the compromise along was the striking out of a senate require-ment that colored margarine sold at retail be put up in triangular packages. But the conference committees which effected the compromise put PADUCAH: War Capital? The city of Paducah, Ky., more famous as the birthplace of Irvin Cobb and the home of Barkley than for most any-thing else, wasn't any too happy about a new honor which might come to it. The city had been proposed by Rep. John Rankin (D Tenn.) as the United States' secondary cap-ital in the event of war. The representative's proposal met with definitely mixed feelings. The most frequently heard plaint was, "Why do they want to pick on Paducah? We've always lived quietly and peacefully, and would like to continue living that way." SEVERAL PADUCAHANS got a lot of humor out of Rankin's saying that one reason Paducah should be the war capital is that "it is close to Mammoth cave." Paducah na-tives knew that Mammoth cave is 150 miles from Paducah, and, as several put it, that would be quite a dash to make in the event of an atomic bombing. Giving a serious answer to Ran-kin's proposal, John Oehlschlaeger, president of the Paducah chamber of commerce, said: "REPRESENTATIVE RANKIN'S plans poses such a gigantic prob-lem it would be silly for me to com-ment on it at this time. But I might ask this question. Can you con-ceive of the sudden shifting of the capital of 150 million people from a metropolitan center to a town of 45,000 population? Think of the nfrtVilon-i- c nf hnncinB nrnwiflintf aH miners were overturned. , As for the hope of the contempt citation to end the mine walkout, no one would say how effective it would be. It was recalled .r'. there is no limit on the penalty a federal court may impose for contempt, but the Constitution forbids "un-usual and excessive" punishment, and the supreme court in 1947 re-duced the UMW's contempt fine from three million dollars to $710,000. BULGARIA: U.S. Cuts Off Uncle Sam finally "got his dan-der up" and began to get tough with the Communist - dominated Balkan countries. In one of the toughest U.S. foreign policy actions since World War II, this nation broke off diplomatic relations with Bulgaria and ordered home Amer-ican Minister Donald R. Heath and his entire staff. At the same time, the state de-partment demanded the recall of Dr. Peter Voutov and his smaller Bulgarian staff in Washington. DEVELOPMENTS in the same vein included a ban on American travel in Hungary and the order-ing from Communist China of all American consuls. The U.S. action was seen as a cli-max to what the state department called a "long series of intoler-ances and indignities" against the U.S. legation in Sofia. In that, the state department was on solid ground because since in strict labeling requirements. IF THE SENATE and house ac-cept the compromise, it would be-come effective July 1. The bill had been in the hands of the confer-ence committees since February 2. The House passed the measure last year, with one senate version being approved in January of this year. It had been agreed by both houses to knock out federal taxes on oleo, but dairy interests had Held out for the triangular-packag- e requirement, arguing that this was necessary to make sure nobody got margarine thinking it was butter. HERE are the taxes the bill would wipe out: h of a cent a pound on uncolored margarine, 10 cents a pound on the colored form; $600 a year on manufacturers whether their output was colored or not; $480 a year on wholesalers of col-ored margarine, $200 on whole-salers of the uncolored, $48 on re-tailers of colored margarine,, and $6 a year on retailers of the uncol-ored variety. Unaffected by the bill are laws In 21 states banning manufacture or sale of colored margarine.

It would be a big problem, in-deed, and one likely to be so im-mense that Representative Ran-kin's proposal will probably never get out of its original stage. Muscling In the legation was established in 1947, Bulgarian officials and the controlled Bulgarian press, the department said, had been "con-stantly denouncing and insulting the United States." The depart-ment charged the Sofia govern-ment had carried on an "unprin-cipled campaign of prosecution" against Bulgarian employees of the legation. THE DIRECT CAUSE of the break was said to be Bulgaria's demand of January 19 that Heath be recalled for "interference" in Bulgarian internal affairs. Charges of spying also had been made against Americans in the legation. The break was significant be-cause it indicated a stronger atti-tude by President Truman and state secretary Acheson toward Moscow satellites with which the U.S. has been waging postwar dis-putes. However, there was no cause for alarm as to military repercussions. For, as Winston Churchill put it, diplomatic recognition of one na-tion by another does not mean es-pousal of that nation's policies or attitudes it is an act to secure certain conveniences. Conversely, when diplomatic relations are brok-en off, it means chiefly that those conveniences are at an end, but not necessarily military action. MEN'S CLOTHES: Going Up Early in 1950, there was much newspaper space devoted to fea-ture articles in which a happy era of low-co- men's clothing was about to descend upon the Amer-ican male. Indeed, the old standby the $35 suit was pictured as coming into its own again and a man could cheerfully anticipate clothes buy-- ' ing. But apparently it was all a dream, for clothing costs are up. The court, in a 5 to 3 ruling, held that when police legally arrest a man, they also may search a lim-ited area under his immediate con-trol for evidence of a crime. But the court didn't say exactly how far the police may go. Justice Felix Frankfurter pro-tested vigorously. Dissenting from the opinion, he declared that the "decision makes mockery of the fourth amendment to the constitu-tion which bans unreasonable search and seizure. He added that the court by its action had overturned a long series of decisions and argued that the tribunal should "show respect for continuity in the law." The majority opinion was writ-ten by one of the new justices, Sherman Minton, who said, "What is reasonable search is not to be determined by any fixed formula. The recurring questions of the rea-sonableness of searches must find resolution in the facts and circum-stances of each case." The decision came in the case of Albert J. Rabinowitz, who was charged with the sale of four al-tered postage stamps. When he was arrested, officers searched his office and found 573 more stamps. These were made the basis of a new charge that he possessed and concealed altered stamps. Defense Move Ever since World War II there has been considerable discussion of a proposal to scatter U.S. agencies and industrial manufacturing cen-ters so that in the event of another war the nation would not face the threat of complete paralysis from bombing attacks. Now, the proposal had the sup-port of the head of the office of civilian defense. Dr. Paul J.

On opening night, as far as the cast is " on December 5, and when friends and colleagues warned him that not a hundred people would climb a flight of rickety stairs to see a Shakespearean play during the holidays, he shrugged his threadbare shoulders and post-ed his rehearsal schedule. Immediately, however, there was trouble. The stage crew in-sisted on a scenic rehearsal, and when the impoverished actor re-fused they decided to get even by lousing up his show on opening night. On the evening of the 5th, a minute after Mantell began to deci-bel his way through the initial lines, a stagehand lunged at him from be-hind a cloth drop and almost knocked him into the pit. And a few moments later the same "ac-cident" happened again. When the act was over, Mantell quietly told the crew that he would kill the next man who tried to dis-rupt his performance and halfway through the second act he darned near did. In the middle of a speech, he saw the outline of a hand behind the curtain trying to locate him and, never faltering in his lines, he drew his dagger and plunged the blade e into the drop. When he went into the wings at the end of the scene, one of the crew grabbed him and said, "You've killed our head carpenter." .."I hope to Heaven I did," said Mantell. But when he examined the stagehand he found the wound was only a gash in the thigh. concerned, the Billy Rose theater has stained glass windows, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the ac-tors would probably kill anyone who tried to foul up the perform-ance. If you think I'm using "kill" carelessly, try this one on for sighs .... BACK IN 1904, an obscure thes-pia- n named Robert Mantell, who had been playing desultory in the Midwest, received word that a choice Broadway thea-ter would be available during the Christmas season. He promptly cancelled his road engagement and brought his troupe to New York, but shortly after his arrival he dis-covered that the "choice" theater he had been offered was the Prin-cess, a small second-stor- y audi-torium on Broadway between 27th and 28th streets. No more daunted than solvent, Mantell announced he would pre-sent his production of "Richard TO MAKE SURE no one would misunderstand how he felt, the ac-tor went up to his dressing room and came down wearing the glove that was part of his costume in the last act. "Any more trouble," he said, "and I shall brain each and every one of you." The stagehands looked at Man-tell, at the mailed glove, and at the bleeding man on the floor.

Wilkinson Corner SHORTLY AFTER his marriage Harvey it became evi-dent to Burt Englewood that his wife was a procrastinator of the first order. This was annoying because Burt was used to order and system and routine and regular schedules. He had definite time for doing things, and he did them as planned. He was never late for an appointment, and never left articles of clothing strewn around. He never set over until tomorrow things that could be done today. Despite his annoyance, Burt tried to be fair. He realized that there must be I certain things -- Minute about his own 3 ricnon habits that proved I distr acting to Lynn. And so, instead of complaining, he en-deavored to discover his own faults and rectify them in the hopes that she would take notice and try to improve her own deficiencies. But no matter to what ends he went his endeavors and sacrifices made no impression whatever on Lynn. She continued blithely to and angry expression. "Burt Engle-wood! You think that! Of all things! Why, I can't believe it! And I have been trying to improve, too. Only only I haven't been feeling well lately. I've even thought of go-ing to a doctor." "Doctor!" Burt scoffed. "You don't need any doctor. What you need is a little backbone and ambi-tion! You're just downright lazy, and I don't mind telling you it's getting on my nerves." pOR A MONTH THINGS were serene. And then one day Burt came home and found Lynn asleep on the living room couch, and the breakfast dishes still in the sink and dinner not yet started. He woke her roughly. "Well, what's your iron-cla- d ex-cuse this time? Have a pain in your foot or something?" "No," said Lynn, "it's in my side. I don't know what it is, Burt. Besides, 1 was dreadfully tired. I'm awfully sorry." "Tired? Lazy, you mean!" Lynn sighed and started for the kitchen. "All right, Burt. I'm sor-ry you don't believe me." Burt was mightily pleased with himself. Moreover, it gave him a certain feeling of superiority, ap-peased his vanity. Thus having satisfied himself that Lynn was once and for all definitely cured and having promised himself that he would never again break down when she offered her excuses, It was something of a shock to return home two days later and find her stretched full length on the couch. "Well," he roared, "what is this, a game? There's plenty to be done around here, yet you seem to find time enough to take a snooze. Just what is your excuse this time? Now don't tell me you're sick or something. That gag's worn out." But Lynn didn't move. She lay there, very still. And presently Burt came nearer, bent down to peer at her face. A horrible, sick-ening fear clutched at his heart; a wretched sense of shame and guilt and For Lynn had an iron-cla- d ex-cuse at last that was flawless. procrastinate, aim uie waae umv cence with which she accomplished it fairly caused Burt to writhe. At length he was driven to complaint. The occasion was provoked by a bureau drawer void of socks when Burt was in sore need of these ar-ticles of apparel. "Good heavens, Lynn!" he blurted. "I own two dozen pairs of the things. Certainly there must be one washed and mended." Lynn's eyes widened. She looked apologetic and contrite. "Darling! I'm so sorry. I in-tended to finish them up last night, but as you know, the Westlands dropped in and I simply couldn't." Which was true.
