And, President Truman asked to step into a strike called by the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, Also halted was production of a considerable quantity of lead and zinc, important along with copper in the defense program. Mines, mills and other plants in at least 14 states were affected. The union estimated a.t least 58,000 workers were involved. More than 50 operating plants, 95 per cent of the nation's capacity from mine lo final production line, vere involved. Not all the men who left their jobs are members of the lUMMS'W.

Members of AFL, craft unions respected picket lines. But maintenance workers kept the mines ready for a quick reopening. Most office' workers stayed on the job. The IUMMSW was expelled from the CIO last year along with others accused of following the Communist party line. Years ago it was one of the principal groups in the old industrial workers of the world.

The strike hit the big four of the copper industry Kennecolt, Anaconda Copper Mining American Smelting and Refining and Phelps-Dodge Corp. Also Involved were the extensive lead and zinc operations In the rich Coeur D'Alene district of northern Idaho, and a number of other operations in the non-ferrous mining industry which handles metals other than iron.

Suburban residents who have borne the brunt of frequent attacki of water pouring down from the sandhills are studying the possibilities of forming a drainage district which would aid the area from Cow creek east along the base of the sandhills, through Farmington and Gardens, and possibly extending to the airport.

Property in the north and east sections of Hutchinson, particularly in Countryside, Larkland and the soda ash area, also may be benefitled by the drainage district. Haiisam, Farmington, said Monday Jack Hefling has been re tained engineer to survey the area and to determine the range of the benefit district. Attorney John FonIron is representing the suburbanites, and has. started drafting petitions to establish the district. Hausam said he discussed the proposition generally with county commissioners last spring and had received encouraging response.

Establishment of drainage district would be a natural corollary of flood control for Cow creek and the Arkansas river. It would, in fact, take care of much of the creek water which breaks out in the area north of the main slough. Thn question came to a head last weekend when D. J. Yoder, who owns property the northwest corner of 30th and Monroe, sought advice from city officials chiefly Manager Tom Chenoweth, Engineer Andy Campbell and Attorney Fred Littooy.

A ridge which bisects Voder's quarter has in the past sent sandhill and creak water coursing east along the north edge of Countryside, into Farmington, Larkland and King's Gardens. It has in recent, years been torn or washed down, so thai in light overflows most of the water cuts south into the old slough, adding to the city's water burden. Yoder wanted to know if the ridge should be re-built or knocked down. The suburban residents then entered the discussions, and out of their deliberations came the decision to study possibilites of a drainage district. Campbell tins for several yean advocated such a district, not only to aid the north end but also to relieve overflow water in tht Elm street slough.

Several previous attempts to drain the area have frizzled out, but officials this effort will gain momentum. Hausam said "it's going through this time." Campbell said any ditches or other drainage efforts would not end the hazards of Cow creek in a major flood, but would help considerably in overflows similar to the minor ona last month. State Lawmakers Polled On Heels Of Political Blast Topeka Edward F.

"I would be happy to have you thoughts, ideas and suggestions in this connection." The governor's letter to the leg islators was made public after hi was assailed Sunday by the tilula lead of the Democratic party In Kansas for not calling a specia legislative session.

"The commission of revenue and taxation will be very lenient in providing all relief possible to taxing units."
