Lewis Case Set
For High Court
Brownout Orders
Will Be Extended
Washington, Dec. 6 (UP) Gov
ernment attorneys have filed a peti
tion asking the Supreme Court to re
view the contempt case against. John
L. Lewis and the United Mine Work
ers. The Union ordinarily would have
20 days in which to reply to a peti
tion, but the government asks the
high tribunal to make a prompt re
sponse "because of the public interest
involved." '
Dimout to Be Extended
Dimout orders will be extended on
Monday to all areas of the nation
where public utilities rely on coal.
The brownout so far has affected
only 21 eastern states and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The nation has used up more than
one fourth of the emergency reserve
from which coal is allotted to essen
tial users. But new conservation mea
sures may stretch the pile for 55 more
days. The latest Solid Fuels Admin
istration order prohibits suppliers of
electricity from using or selling an
excess coal they might have on hand.
