Industry spokesmen predict spreading unemployment and a chain of mine closings as a result of reduced coal output and the in. roads of competitive fuels.

The nation's 8,000 bituminous (soft coal) mines produced a rec- ord-breaklng 631.000000 tons In 1947. Now they are reverting to a normal market estimated at around 400,. 000,000 tons.

James Boyd, director of the United States Bureau of Mines, has warned the mlnihg Industry to get ready to retrench.

Speaking at Founder's Day ex ercises at the University of Virginia, part of the institution's ob servance of the 125th anniversary of its founding by Mr.

Jefferson, the Secretary of Defense declared: "We shall win the struggle not by any matching of man for man, gun for gun, tank for tank. or plane for plane; not by playing our opponents' game and wrecking our economy through spending our selves into a depression; and not by giving up our cherished democratic institutions for reactionary militaristic experiments in the regimentation of society." Stronger In Spirit Instead, said Mr. Johnson, "we shall win by proving ourselves qualitatively stronger, in ingenuity, In spirit and in muscle, than any who may contemplate to challenge us." "We are determined to be strong," asserted Mr. Johnson, a graduate of the university's law school, for peace today can be achieved only through strength." But he added, "above the physi cal prowess of our arms there will alwavs stand the inmate sDiriiual quality ofour people and their faith in our democratic Institutions."

Chairman- May- bank (D-SC)' refused to predict whether the Senate Banking Com mittee will approve It or any oth er rent control measure. Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, and his assis tant. Senator Myers of Pennsyl vanla, have offered a measure for a flat year's extension of the pres ent rent conrol law: which expires June 30. The prospects for this bill looked so. poor to Democratic lieutenants that Senators Lucas and Myers were reported to have agreed to oner uie proposal In the hope that rent controls could be retained In some large cities where state or local ceilings otherwise would not be in effect.

The idea behind the compromise: Congress would vote a six months extension to next Jan. 1. Those cities that wanted to continue them past that date would have to vote to do so; those that did not could end them when they wished. Although Senator Bricker CD- Ohio) said he will fight any kind of rent control bill, there were re ports that Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the GOP Policy Committee, might be willing to go along with the compromise.

Mrs. Kee promptly appointed herself and her husband sponsors and upbuilders of the center's library. vShe enlisted the aid of friends in the project and gathered UP a few hundred volumes. Then Mrs.

Kee decided that a section of the library should be set apart for books autographed by the authors thereof, or by noted contributors whose signatures would lend distinction to the collection. And presto! Messages and books poured in from celebrities, eager to cooperate In creating this unique library. Among contributions have been albums of good music, and one New York friend has started a collection of miniature toy theaters for students at the center who may be budding thespian.

The blaze seared both sides of Mutter's Mountain three miles north of New Castle, and more than 130 men including 65 Vlr- 1 glnla Tech students were thrown Into the battle against the flames, which were discovered about 2:30 p.

m. from a lookout tower. There was a fear for a time that the blaze would spread to New Castle before It finally was brought under control. Dispatcher C. D.

Elmore said the cause had not been determined. A 400-acre fire was reported from Clarke County three miles east, of Berry ville, where flames spread over property belonging to two men. The major damage, however, was to fence posts and grass. Two fires were reported in Albe marle County, one burning over five acres and one over 35 and another 35-acre fire was re? ported on the borderline of Albemarle, Greene, and Orange Coun ties. Foresters 'said one of the blazes was started by a man miming brush illegally before four p.

Mr.

Dewey's bipartisan planning proposal dominated a ten-point program he suggested as the best way, to win the cold war against the Communists. r. In the nine other points he ask- ed that the nation: I 1. End a trend back to Isolation-; ism. 2.

Yet Jobs remained a big question mark. In the view of the Pres ldent's Council of Economic Advisers, economic expansion has not hit a rate which, will keep-ahead oi creeping unemployment The council sent to Congress yes terday Its monthly report "Economic Indicators," covering the first three months of what the council had predicted would be a "good year." Income Climbs The forecast, has been, home out thus far- National mconie climbed, after falling throughout 1949. In dustrial production surged1 back, af the coal strike, to exceed January's level.Uome building set a record. Pec capita personal after allowing for taxes, was at a rate which exceeded even the average of booming 1948. It was estimated at $1,323 for every man, woman, and child.

And consumers' prices, for the average city family, were down about 1 per cent from a year ago. The nation output or all goods and services was measured at an annual rate of $258,000,000,000 for the quarter. This was below the rate of a year ago but the movement was upward, not down. The council's acting chairman, Leon Keyserling, told a reporter that the council has no reason to revise its January prediction of a good level of prosperity which can last through the year. He added this long-range qualification: Expansion Needed "We are not getting the expan sion in industry and investment that we need to absorb the steady increase In -the labor force.

That is a serious problem." The report sent to the Joint Eco nomic Committee of Congress is an array of tables, almost bare of com ment. Yet the council obviously took little comfort in last month's drop of 851,000 In the ranks of Job- seekers. It ascribed the Improvement to the normal, "seasonal" pickup in farming and industry. At the level of 4,321,000 Jobless, unemployment now stands higher than at any time last vear.

It was turned over to the State of Virginia and County of Augusta In 1947 to serve as a center for public education and the rehabilitation of physically afflicted civilians of all ages. Aided by the Baruch Committee on Physical Medicine, the Virginia authorities adopted a system which, since 1945. has restored to usefulness hundreds of persons who seemed almost beyond hone. Invariably, the handi-caoned patients and students are eager to regain their strength and mobility, so as to earn their own living.
