July 8. (JP) Russia late today charged that the situation in Greece was the result of American and British interference and demanded that the United Nations order foreign military personnel off Greek soil.

The Soviet Union also called for U. N. supervision of all econ omic aid to Greece in a renewed attempt to place the American program of direct support under international control. "Direct intervention through the presence of foreign troops has been supplemented lately by new forms of intervention in sending to Greece so-called military instructors and in supplying war equipment," Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko said in his new attack on the American aid program, Rejecting a U.

N. report blaming Soviet Balkan satellites for the Greek border disorders, Gromyko said the Greek government alone was at fault. Gromyko put forward the -Russian rebuttal to a majority report of a Balkan investigating commission in a 78-minute speech, one of the longest ever delivered to the Security Council. He asked the council to reverse on-the-spot findings and rule Greece guilty of provoking disturbances with Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria. Gromyko's speech and translations took up the entire afternoon meeting and the council adjourned at 6:42 p.

m. (EST), until Thursday when delegates will resume debate on a global police force, a governor for Trieste, and the Bal kans. Gromyko said without qualification that Russia could not accept an American resolution, growing out of the commission report, for establishment of a semi-permanent U. N. watch along the troubled frontiers.

American Delegate Warren R. Austin previously had said that nothing less than the border watch would solve the problem and Gromyko thus gave the strongest indications that he would" veto the project.

WARNS PETRILLO California Congressman In Tilt With Union Chief At Com-mittee.

Session WASHINGTON, July 8. (JP) Rep. Nixon told James C. Petrillo in blunt terms today to study the new Taft-Hartley labor law and the anti-trust laws before carrying out his threat to bar union musicians from radio network programs. Under Nixon's sharp prodding at a congressional hearing, Petrillo acknowledged that the "big reason" behind his threat would be to get the individual radio stations to hire more union musicians.

Declaring there are 603 stations which do not hire musicians now but depend on the networks, Petrillo said: "There'a no reason why they shouldn't hire musicians. They need musicians, but they won't pay them. That's the sad story." Nixon cited Petrillo's previous testimony that he might extend the ban to making of recordings by union, musicians, then said: "The effect would be to put the networks and recording companies virtually out of business." "I don't know if they'd go out of business," Petrillo grumbled. "Well," Nixon said, "before you attempt to carry out the threat against the networks and recording companies, I suggest that you and your council read very carefully your testimony nere, we laxt Hartley labor law, and the anti trust laws." Nixon later told reporters that If Petrillo called a strike or pulled his men out of the networks, a move to force stations to hire people they don't need, it would be "feather- bedding and a violation of the Taft Hartley law." He said, too, that if Petrillo put the bans into effect and some com panies had to go out of business, it might be "a restraint of trade" in violation of the anti-trust laws, Petrillo, acknowledging that "I'm not an angel, I lost my wings a long time ago," displayed a soft heart toward school children but not for their appearance on commercial broadcasts.

(Ph-The Republican backed $4,000,000,000 income tax reduction for 49,000,000 taxpayers sailed through the House again today by 'an overwhelming vote of 302 to 112. This is 26 more than the two-thirds needed to override a second presidential veto. Speaker Martin personally took the floor and asked the body to make its vote so decisive "as to persuade the President that the people should have this delayed jeMice." Anticipating another presidential veto, Martin declared the House confronts the fundamental question of whether "Congress shall retain its right to perform its constitutional function of determining what taxes shall be levied on the people." The measure was tossed over to the Senate, where Republican leaders said they hope to rush it again to President Truman's desk before the week ends. Some Democratic leaders said another veto is certain. The measure is identical with the one the President returned June 16 as "the wrong kind of tax reduction at the wrong time" except that the effective date of the tax cut has been changed from July 1, 1947, to January 1, 1948.

While a veto-overriding vote roll ed up in the House, speculation flared to a feverish pitch on the big question: Can such a two-thirds vote be obtained in the Senate to overthrow another presidential objection No one yet has named two-thirds if the senators who will vote to override a veto. The President's first veto was sustained in the Hoifte when the vote to override, 268 to 137. was two votes short of the needed two-thirds. Czechoslovakia. In Russian Sphere of Influence, Among Those Who Accepted PARIS, July 8.

(JP) Thirteen nations, including Czechoslovakia in the Soviet sphere, have accepted French-British bids to the Paris conference on the Marshall plan. Czech sources in Prague hinted that Russia herself might finally be represented. There had been no refusals by nightfall from the 22 invited nations. The French foreign ministry announced that 10 nations Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Eire, Greece, Turkey, The Netherlands, Luxembourg; Czechoslovakia and Iceland have turned in formal acceptances. Associated Press dispatches from Berne, Vienna and Copenhagen said that Switzerland, Austria and Denmark decided officially to participate in the reconstruction concerning what was going on in the Russian zone states mounted as the Thursday deadline for accepting' the invitations drew near.

The conference will open Saturday. Polish, Romanian and Finnish diplomats denied reports broadcast by Tass, official Soviet news agency, that their countries naa rejected the invitation.

GIRL IS MISSING AT SUMMER CAMP Riderless Horse Was Found Roaming In the Woods of New Hampshire WILMOT CENTER, N.

July 8. (JP) The 13-year-old daughter of Robley D. Evans, widely-known Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist, was reported missing tonight after tier riderless horse was found roaming in nearby wodus. Prof. Evans, who arrived home from Europe only this morning, said he was notified his daughter Nadia, was missing from the Tabor Summer Camp, where she was spending the summer.

New Hampshire State Police said the girl's horse was found in rugged wooded country adjoining the camp, its saddle lying on the ground nearby. State Police, local authorities and townspeople and camp officials engaged in a search of the woods about 30 miles northwest of Concord, the state capital. The search was centered in in accessible country near the camp on a 1,500 foot hill overlooking Pleasant Lake. Technology oificials said Prcf. Evans had been attending a scientific meeting in England and is considered "one of the best versed men in the medical aspects of i 13 NATIONS ACCEPT BIDS TO CONFERENCE Three-Fourths of Soft Coa Miners Return to Work Under New Contract WASHINGTON, July 8.

VP) John L. Lewis ordered three fourths of his 400,000 soft coa miners back to the pits tonight to work for another year when "able and willing;" at the biggest wage increase he ever won. "Whos looney now!" he de manded of his critics in eeneral as he jubilantly told reporters of the precedent-shattering pact. Coal operators paraded to Unit ed Mine Workers headquarters to sign on Lewis terms. For those who didn't sign the terms were take it or leave it.

The Southern Coal Producers Association was the only sizeable group to leave it. They hit Lewis for modifications in a closed meeting, apparently got nowhere, and decided to convene tomorrow at 12 noon (E. S. for a "final de cision." One of the southerners predicted they would be "forced to ac cept, as a group or individually, In fact, a scattering of them had already accepted. But southern mines producing 25 percent of the country's coal and employing some 100,000 miners stood idle.

Coal prices will shoot up. Senator Taft (R-O) forecast a rise of 70 cents a ton, but some operators said the jump would exceed SI Taft guessed Bteel would rise $1.10 a ton and steel products pro portionately. The contract was negotiated by Lewis with northern operators and mine-owning steel interests. The latter groups, in a joint state' ment, said the cost will be "sub Btantially less than if a strike had halted production. The contract provides: a 44 cent Dasic nouny wage boost; a work day shortened from nine hours to eight, bringing the daily wage to $13.05 instead of the $11.85 paid for the longer day; and a 100 percent increase in the levy on operators to support UMW's welfare fund 10 cents a ton instead Of 5.

VP) The Senate appropriations commit tee today approved a money bill for the War Department's fiscal 1948 expenses plus $543,490,000 in non-cash contract authorizations. Senator Gurney S.

said the cash outlay is only less than President Truman requesterday in his budget estimate and is $35,636,376 more than the House approved. Mr. Truman had asked cash and $383,490,000 in contract authorizations, all the latter for the air corps. Gurney, chairman of the subcommittee which handled the bill, said the total increase of made by the Senate committee will permit the army to maintain' 1,100 more planes than the House approved and to activate the ground and air national guard. The planes will be of all types, he said, and the army will be able to keep on a "ready basis" 55 of the 70 air groups for which it asked.

The House action would have allowed 38 active and 18 skeletonized groups. He said, the Senate group also voted to restore approximately 10,000 of the 17,000 officers cut out by the House and 2,200 of 2,600 warrant officers. Nearly all the contract authorizations in the bill approved by the Senate committee will go to the air corps. It gets $497,490,000 with $25,000,000 going to the national guard, $11,000,000 to the signal corps and $5,000,000 each to the engineer service and the ordnance department President Visit Secretary WASHINGTON, July 8.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July ft (JP) The discovery of a "flying dine" reported by an Army publie relations officer proved a dud today when the object was identified ii a weather balloon. Warrant Officer Irving Newton, a' forecaster at the Army's Eighth Air Force weather station here, said the object found near Roswell, N.

was a ray wind target used to determine the direction and velo city of winds at high altitudes. He said there were some 89 weather stations in the United States using this type of balloon and that it could have come from any one of them. "We use them because they can go so much higher than the eye can see," Newton explained. A radar set is employed to follow the balloon and through a process of trl-angulation the winds aloft are charted, he added. When rigged up, Newton stated.

the object looks like a six-pointed star, is silvery in appearance, and rises in the air like a kite, mounted to a 100-gram balloon. Newton said he had sent up identical balloons to this one during the invasion of Okinawa to deter mine ballistics information for heavy guns. Army weather experts in WashJ ington, however, discounted any idea that such weather targets might be the basis for the scores of reports of "flying discs." Brig. Gen. Donald N.

Yates, chief of the AAF Weather Service, said only a very few of them are used daily, at points where some specific project requires highly accurate wind information from extreme (Continued On Page Seventeen.) One Reference Is "Plates With T-Bone Steaks" Because nicy me au niun, CHICAGO, July 8. (JP) Bug- house Square, Chicago's refuge of the self-styled intelligentsia, today attributed the flying discs to every-thing from Martian explorations to "plates carrying T-bone steaks because they're se high L. M. (Chollie) Wendorf, a habi-tue of the ono-block park in the Bohemian quarter on the near North Side, pooh-poohed ideas that there anvthmir "substantial behind reports of the discs." Rasping from his soapbox perch Chollie, who calk) himself King of the Free Lance Orators for five years, shouted that the terrible thing is, the more water you throw on it the harder it burns" The "it" in this classic figure of speech Chollie defined as mass hysteria. Chollie thinks the visions of fljaw liig uick Can bfi tlaoii tuIOUgh healthy living and that to be healthy "you got to eat living things." Chollie said he eats 60 dandelion blooms a day, when they're in season, that is.

Herbert "Cosmic Kid" Shaw said he favors a theory that the discs are evidence of activity from other planets. He said this is probable because even science now has a "wide open view of the possibility that life exists on some planets." The people in Mart "have an un derstanding of cosmic process in advance of ours and have a theory that the interpenetration of radiation of energy into interstellar space holds the solar systems together," Shaw said, all in one breath, too. He added that the Martians now are making explorations to prove their cosmic theory and that this explains the flying saucere. "Porkchops Charlie," a Knight of the Open Road and mouthpiece for the Hoboes of America, said he witnessed flying discs numerous times "mostly while riding the boxcars." He declared he believed the saucers were moving shadows between the sun and earth that travel so fast that they deceive the eye because of their "electric vibration. The proponent of the" T-bone Steak theory, Ted Moren suggested an alternative explanation.

"Maybe it's those ENIACS you know, those thinking machine invented at Har vard and Princeton that are doing some thinking and inventing ea their own. If the machines can almost think it' reasonable to believe they could thing of something like flying saucers that not even our scientists can match."

The 5-cent collection under government operation of the past 13 months yielded and this will be merged with the new fund. Lewis will be chairman of the three-man board of trustees. Others on the board will be Ezra Van Horn, Ohio Producers Association executive, for the operators, and Thomas Murray, New York financier, for the public.

SAFETY The Federal Mine Safety Code established by the government when it made a contract with Lewis ending the spring, 1946, strike, is carried oyer. This supersedes varying state regulations. FOREMEN The? organization of supervisory workers is halted. Any disputes as to who is eligible to be members of the UMW will be settled between the operators and Lewis side-stepping the National Labor Relations Board entirely. CONTRACT Runs until June 30, 1948, but can be opened by either party on 30 days' notice.

It must be national in scope that is nobody can get less than the terms of this con- tract, and future wage conferences must be on a national basis. STRIKES All no-strike" provisions are repealed. The contract operates only so long as miners are "able and willing" to work. Disputes will be ironed out with the industry without resort to the new Labor Act procedures. VACATION The $100 payment for a ten-day vacation period is continued.

UNION SHOP AND CHECKOFF The UMW continues to be as the sole bargaining agent for the miners, and none but a member of the union can remain on the payroll. Dues check-off is provided for those miners who authorize it. Lewis indicated he thought few miners would fail to give such authorization "to reap the benefits of this contract."

(JP) Legislation to require unions to file financial reports with the state was vetoed by Gov. James H. Duff today as being "too restrictive." The governor at the same time signed into law bills establishing equal pay for women for equal work and extending the permissible work week from 44 to 48 hours and the work day from eight to ten hours.

All three measures were vigorously opposed by both CIO and AFL labor organizations along with other measures, already approved, to bar strikes by public workers, eliminate jobless benefits for Btrikers and establish compulsory arbitration in public utility labor Rejecting the financial report proposal on the grounds "it is punitive as tv one particular group of voluntary associations," Duff stated: "The bill furnishes no clue as to what evil is sought to hf corrected nor does it indicate of what value the knowledge of the financial status of the labor union would be in correcting any condition. "No good purpose would be served by the bill and it would place labor unions under the necessity of an immense amount of bookkeeping for no apparent reason." In addition to requiring annual also would have been required to file with the Depart ment, of Labor and Industry, names and addresses of all officers, the scales of dues and salaries paid officers. Death Toll Drops HARRISBURG, July 8. (JP) The death toll on Pennsylvania's rural highways from highway'ac-cidents dropped 19.1 per cent in the first six months of this year against the corresponding period of 1946, the Pennsylvania State Police reported today.

INCOME TAX BILL Governor Says Saving Is Consideration That Can Not Be Ignored HARRISBURG, July 8. (P) A split-income tax bill designed to save married couples in Pennsylvania $100,000,000 a year in Federal taxes was signed into law to day by Governor James H.

Duff with a statement the saving "is a consideration that cannot possibly be ignored." The measure, establishing the principle of community property in Pennsylvania, permits a husband and wife to divide the family income and file separate federal tax returns, each for one-half of the family earnings. Twelve other states have a similar law." "I am not unaware," Duff said in his statement issued with approval of the legislation, "that such a radical change in the law of Pennsylvania will cause some confusion and will be the cause of considerable litigations; but the fact that $100,000,000 will be saved to the taxpayers of the Common wealth is such a vast amount of money, particularly at a time the taxes are generally so onerous, that I believe that it is in the interest cf tho people of the Commonwealth to approve the bill and run the risk of the confusion that will be caused by the new legislation. "If several other states passed similar legislation it will compel the Congress to make a new tax bill which will provide equality of taxation in similar situations among all the states. "By approving this act for Pennsylvania, persuasive argument will be made to the Congress of the necessity of uniform legislation of that character. "I feel that until Congress does pass such legislation the taxpayers of Pennsylvania are entitled to be treated on the basis of the other states that are making this immense tax saving."
