SEVENTIETH YEAR Ike' Crusade Peace At General Cites 10-Point Peace Plan (By Don Whitehead) Philadelphia (AP)- -Dwight D. Eisenhower was off to a roaring "crusade" for world peace today which he said could be achieved only by throwing the "wasters, the bunglers and the incompetents' out of office in Washington. To a wildly cheering throng of 17,500 jam-packed into Convention Hall here last night, the G.

O. P. presidential nominee said: "Let's sweep this country with such a wave of resolve, determination and action that the little men, the defeatists, the false prophets of the false doctrine that it can't be done, will be tossed out of power and the real America given a chance to move in." On that theme--and offering a 10-point peace program of his own--Eisenhower formally laun-1 ched his presidential campaign. And today he carried his fight westward to Chicago and a fiveday tour of the Midwest, touching Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and Indiana. Eisenhower lost no time in lashing out at the Democratic administration.

He set the crowd to cheering by saying: "I have said and will say again and again that there is only one issue in this campaign. That issue is the mess in Then Eisenhower charged the administrtion "has bungled uS perilously close to World War II." He said, "We will dedicate ourselves to a program for peace aimed to prevent future Koreas and the honorable end of this Korean War."

T. 0. Mitman Supervising Principal TIMES-NEWS, MAUCH CHUNK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1952 NO. 138 Agreement Is Reported Near In Anthracite Coal Pact Talks WASHINGTON P- -With negotiations between John L. Lewis the anthracite producers apparently nearing agreement and recessed until next week, interest in the coal labor situation shifted today to the bituminous part of the industry.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers Union, was to meet with Joseph Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers Association, in another of their series of exploratory contracts talks for he soft coal industry. The Southern Association's executive committee may also be here to confer with Lewis, officials said. Lewis has been seeking a hike in' the 30 cent royalty paid to the nearly defunct union welfare fund for the 65,000 Pennsylvania thracite, or hard coal, miners. In return for a reported offer of a 15 or 20 cent a ton royalty increase, the anthracite operators were said to be asking for some assurance that they won't face demands later on for a big wage increase. Lewis apparently wants to butup the anthracite situation with an interim agreement situation while he concentrates on negotiating a new contract for the 360,000 bituminous soft coal miners.

The bituminous wefare fund is well financed at the moment and what Lewis is reportedly trying to get from producers in this segment of the industry is higher wages and provisions for giving miners steady work. Lewis has been talking privately with leading bituminous industry negotiators without the formal bargaining that has been going on in hard coal. The anthracite negotiations are to resume next week. 28 G. O.
