WASHINGTON, March 19. (Ai Bituminous coal operators and United Mine Wkers, resuming negotiations today, sought to measure the extent of a congressional threat to outlaw the union's 10-cent a ton royalty demand. Senator Bailey announced intention to press for an arly hearing on his bill to prohibit royalty payments to unions. He said he Introduced it because of John L. Lewis demand on the coal operators and James C.

Petrillo's five-cent-a-record royalty agreement obtained for the American Federation of Musicians. Time became a dominant factor hi the ccal negotiations. Nine days remain before a strike vote among the 400,000 bituminous miners and 12 days before the present contract expires March 31. AU Proposals Rejected. Thus far there has been no agreement on any of Lewis 18 demands, submitted March 1.

The mine union leader Saturday rejected all of the operators' counter-proposals, which the producers said would have given each miner an increase of 60 cents a day and would have cost more than $65,000,000 a year. The operators have estimated the cost of Lewis' demands at including $60,000,000 for the royalty to provide a "rainy day" fund for miners. The Canadian corvette St. Thomas had good fishing In Atlantic waters in bagging this "catch" from a Nazi submarine blasted to the surface. Survivors are floating on rubber raits, awaiting rescue from the ship they would have torpedoed.

BRIDGE BATTLE MAN-FOR-MAN Germans Reinforce Troops Fighting First Army.

BY DON WHITEHEAD. With U. S. First Army East of the Rhine, March 19. (jTV-The battle of the bridgehead has developed virtually into man for man combat.

The enemy has thrown In reinforcements to whittle down the initial superiority in numbers gained by the First Army in its surprising crossing the the Rhine. Military textbooks say attacking forces should enjoy a three to one superiority over enemy defenders but Lt. Gen. Courtney Hodge's men slugging their way forward through rough terrain have no such advantage in manpower. Hardest Since Normandy.

"We are having the hardest and slowest going since the fighting through the hedgerows in Normandy," an officer of the Ninth Infantry Division said today. "When a doughboy advances 500 yards on the map it means he actually fought his way forward 1,500 yards up and down these hills." After the Rhine crossing the bridgehead forces had to fight for elbow room in which to maneuver. They just now are reaching that stage, with the bridgehead eight miles in depth. The tough core of German resistance has been in the east where the enemeny concentrated tanks and self-propelled weapons to prevent the Americans from breaking out toward Berlin. Dr.

Among other things, the Michigan Senator has proposed that the projected international organization be given sufficient flexibility to seek out and try to correct errors and injustices that may occure at the peace tagle. Justice Peace Basis. Vanderberg has called for "a constant, conscious mandate to seek and maintain 'justice' as the basis for peace." The American group apparently must decide what attitude it will take on some offshoots of the Yalta voting procedure agreement.

The question of policing the Western Hemisphere against aggression will be before it, as well as the impact of the proposed league's powers on the Monroe Doctrine. Some of the eight members are known to be disturbed by the State Department interpretation that the veto power proposed for the five permanent members of the projected International Council would permit a single large nation to prevent forceful action against any aggressor, large or small. Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, one of the delegates, is understood to fear that broad application of this principle might undermine the whole theory of keeping peace by forceful means, if necessary.

It has been Stassen 's attitude that for practical purposes a large power must have the right to veto League use of force against itself. But he may suggest changes which would prevent some smaller power from enlisting the support of one of the Big Five and then going ahead with relatively minor aggression.

Save Three Men Hourly. There's nothing dull about the job these frontline flying ambulances are doing. These two fellows and Lt. R. E.

Frownfelter of Garrett, try to save the lives of three men every hour during daylight when weather is halfway decent. Each plane carries one litter case. It takes one hour to make a round-trip from Impromptu fields to the hospital. "We can carry another patient if he can sit up, but the ones we handle are usually in a pretty bad way and they have to lie down." said Geyer. "We were pretty sore when we found out we were not going to fly combat right off, but I wouldn't have missed this Job for the world.

Why, we're right down here where this whole thing is going on." Each pilot does his own navigating and radio operating. COLORFUL KENTUCKY COLONEL WHO FOUGHT NIGHT RIDERS IS DEAD HOPKINSVTLLE, March 19. iA) Col. E. E.
