LABOR Start* On Par* On* bach invited John L. Lewi* and bituminous operators, to meet with him tomorrow. The oper ators twice had refused to meet with Lewis, mine union bos*. 3. Schwellenbach promised a statement durinr the day re viewing the whole reconversion labor picture. 4. A meeting was scheduled during the day to arrange final plans for the labor-manage ment conference called by Mr, Truman to fix a formula for settling labor troubles. Among things to be decided was a proposal to advance the sche duled November 5 convening date because of the present widespread Industrial disputes. Vice Admiral Ben Morrell, chief of the navy’s bureau of yards and docks, drew the assignment of running the seised oil facilities. His first act was to send mes sages to plant managers to act for the government. UNIONS SILENT Acting Secretary of the Navy H. Struve Hensel told a news con ference the navy would not try to deal with the union demand for a 30 per cent increase without an order from the War Labor board. Chairman George W. Taylor said WLB had not been asked to weigh the wage question. I In the past WLB has taken up a wage dispute in a seised plant only after being asked to do so by the seizing agency or the White House. The strike grew out of the un ion’s pay demand and the com panies’ refusal to go beyond a 15 per cent Increase. Schwellenbach proposed that the strike end with the 15 per cent hike placed into effect temporarily with an arbitra tor to settle the difference be tween that and the 30 per cent the I union wanted. However, all but one of the companies wanted the ar bitration to start from scratch at the present wage rates and the negotiations collapsed. In a statement announcing seiz ure of the struck plants, Mr. Tru man said “oil is so vital to the continuing military operation, and so essential to production for the armed services and national se :» nnbhri k; l Hebert Undsav Webb Building Sbelbj N. < and Company N.

Hensel estimated it would re quire two weeks to restore full production in the strike-bound plants even if workers get back on the job immediately. In anticipation of today’s tele phone demon s t r a t i o n, Joseph Beirne, president of the federa tion. and other union officials moved from New York to Wash ington to “operate centrally." TAR HEEL HERO, YOUNGEST TO WIN CONGRESS MEDAL, HEADS FOR SCHOOL By MARGARET KERNODLE WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 —(/P>— I love that woman,” said the iond ex-marine. “I’s crazy about Brother, you can say that a in,” said the woman. That woman is 17-year-oid Car olyn Brown and her man is lf year-old Jacklyn Lucas. He’s a man all right. It was a lot of man who smothered those two Japanese grenades with his own body last February 20 out there on Iwo Jima. The three comrades he did it for must have forgotten right there that “Luke” was only six days past his 17th birthday. And President Truman made it official when he sum moned former Pfc. Lucas along with 13 others to hang the congressional medal of honor around their necks today. It's for “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty” and In this country medals don’t come higher. As far as the records show the tough kid from Belhaven, N. C , who'd rather fight and eat bread and water than eat, is the young est ever cited for this peak award. But Jacklyn and Carolyn didn’t seem to be thinking much about the congressional medal of honor as they sat eating southern fried Wife Dies Trying To Save Husband’s Picture From Fire CLEVELAND.

Mrs. Moraghan died last night, only a few hours after firemen found her, burned, unconscious and nearly suffocated by smoke, in the hallway. Battalion Chief Frank McNea said she apparently was overcome while trying to save a picture of her husband, Richard F. Morag han. “Globester” Goes On Regular Schedule WASHINGTON. Oct. S— (*>. — The first historic flight is over. Regular round the world air service becomes routine starting today. This afternoon and every Friday afternoon henceforth, U. S. Army Air Transport command planes— 40-passenger C-54s — will leave Washington on a schedule that terminates here the following Thursday night. Lt Gen. Harold George, com manding general of the ATC, pre dicts the "Globester'’ will be run twice weekly, in both directions instead of east as now, as soon as mail >and courier traffic justifies. The seven men and a woman who made the first flight, ended here last night, agreed that they’d make the same 23,279 mile junket again, and gladly. EMPEROR Start* On Page One that a new cabinet was being formed. The newspaper Asahi today cited two “direct” reasons for the cabinet’s fall: It felt that It couldn’t carry out MacAr thur’s freedom directive; and it felt that it couldn’t be re sponsible for maintenance of peace and order after the di rected removal of leading po lice officials. Customarily, cabinet changes in Japan are watched by observing the Journeys of ministers after the resignations. Circumstantial evidence—if the itinerary of Yo shida was correctly reported by the Japanese newsmen — would indicate the selection and approv al of a new premier, since deliber ations within the palace grounds evidently ended after Yo6hida re ported back to Kido. A Reuter's dispatch from Tokyo speculated that another former foreign minister, the 73-year-old Baron Kljuro Shidehara, one-time ambassador to the United States, had been offered the premiership and was considering acceptance. There was no confirmation. The cabinet to be named by the incoming premier may not have army and navy ministers. Japanese government authorities said these posts have been retain ed up to the present to carry out demobilization of Japan's armed forces, now expected to be com pleted by Oct. 15. The new premier’s first job will be to take steps toward al leviating a critical food, fuel and housing shortage throughout Ja pan. He also may be called on to cope with political agitation stem ming from American release of Japanese political prisoners and elimination of feudalists thought control and other repressive meas ures. STRONGER CABINET Premier Prince Naruhlko Higa shi-Kuni went to his cousin, em peror Hlrohito, with the resigna tions this afternoon following a two-hour meeting of the cabinet over MacArthur’s demand to oust the home minister in the interest; of achieving a free thinking, free speaking Nippon. The emperor’s readiness in ac cepting the resignations was in terpreted as meaning he thought a stronger cabinet more pleasing to MacArthur could be formed. The force of gravity at the sur face of the sun is said to be 27 times greater than that at the surface of the earth. chicken in a Washington hotel last night. “She's some jitterbug,” he said fondly. "Yon can say I’m proud of him but please don't say much more,” she contributed, ca ressing the diamond ring on the third finger, left hand. Carolyn is a navy yard clerk at Portsmouth, Va. Jacklyn propos-, ed last June and she accepted They wont be married for a while. “I may finish high school anu take an electrician course at the same time,” he explained. That's what his pretty brown-eyed fi ancee wants him to do. He left a military academy when he was 14 to join the marines. By the time he was 15 he was sta-1 tioned in Hawaii. Before he was 17 he'd had 19 fist fights—MP's, civilians, other marines, anybody\ handy—and 5 1-2 months brig time. That was when he decided it was time to start fighting Japs instead. He stowed away on a transport bound for Iwo Jima. And that was where the marine corps’ juvenile delinquent became a hero. Here to see the President honor her boy is Jacklyn’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Jones. ("Look at her," he says, “beautiful in any dress she wears.”) Urge Lifting Of Cotton Controls CHARLOTE, Oct. 5. — ttfV— Rep resentatives of the Southern Tex tile Industry are being urged by the American Cotton Manufac turers Association to request their congressional representatives to use their influence for lifting price and production controls. Letters urging such action were mailed yesterday by Dr. W. P. Ja cobs. president of the association. He pointed to the fact that cot ton consumption dropped around 13,000 bales daily from May, 1943 to August. 1945, and said that the farmer is being deprived of a much needed market. The letter expressed the belief that given freedom of action the industry can go forward toward its task of supplying civilian needs of textiles and the increased employ ment will be necessary to take care of returning veterans.
