As you know, by treaty agreement between the United States and Mexico, sugar-beet growers are required to pay maintenance charges and minimum wages to Mexican nationals who came here to assist in the beets, when they cannot get into the fields. "Because of long period during which weather has made harvesting work impossible, heavy penalty charges are accruing, as result of which some grower labor associations already have released number of Mexican nationals for return to their country. "Unless, as has been requested by the growers, the government will waive or assume growers' penalties during pay period, Nov.

Nov. 16. (P) -France proposed today that the United Nations political committee suspend debate on the troversial veto question to enable the five big powers to try to find formula for voluntary modification of the veto's use.

French Delegate Alexandre Parodi lined up with the other big powers in opposing any revision of the U. N. charter, although he pointed out that France originally had opposed the principle of the veto. The problem, he said, is to find way to improve the procedure of the security council without altering the charter. Parodi, spoke shortly after Chinese le Delegate V.

K. Wellington Koo had endorsed the positions taken yesterday against, any amendment of the charter at this time. Great Britain, the only member of the big five which has not yet stated its position before the committee. has also made it clear that she opposes any charter revision. All five major powers, except Russia, have taken the position, however, that the security council should limit the use of the veto to rare and exceptional cases.

Individual members the big five already were studying British plan aimed at softening the use of the veto. Parodi admitted that the security council has not so far worked "very satisfactorily" and said the preoccupation of the assembly with the veto question seemed to be justified. He put forward two specific sug. gestions: 1. That the council make a greater use of sub-commissions and rapporteurs to reduce the amount of council voting to a minimum.

2. That a rule be adopted to make the use of the veto optional of automatic. At the present time when one of the five permanent council members votes with the minority, its negative vote must be considered as a veto. Charles C. Butler, Former Chief Justice Of Colorado, Dies C.

Krug Issues Order Effective Today; May Tell Miners Lewis Maneuvers Have No Justification and Urge Them to Keep on Mining Coal Washington, Nov. 16. (AP) solid fuels administration today froze all soft coal supplies in anticipation of bituminous mine shut-down next Wednesday midnight. The freeze order issued by Secretary of the Interior J.

A. Krug became effective as of noon today. It came as the administration sought to hold 400,000 soft coal miners to a government contract which the attorney general says is binding. Krug, acting as adminis. trator of the solid fuels administration, said in a statement: "Issuance of these orders is an essential precaution in view of the unwillingness of the president of the United Mine Workers (John L.

Lewis) to accede with the president's request to reconsider the government's proposal looking toward a settlement of the coal controversy." Krug issued three separate ders. One froze all coal in transit which might be produced mines. A second held all stocks in shipment on the Great lakes or other waterways. third froze all coal supplies in tail yards. The orders provide that no can be distributed to consumers without the approval of the solid fuels administration.

They did affect coal already in the hands ultimate consumers. No official was telling just what will be done if Lewis persists contention that he can and will terminate the contract next Wednesday midnight, halting producat the 3,300 governmentoperated mines. But there was talk that, for starter, Secretary of the Interior Krug may take to the radio, tell miners their chief's no legal justification and ask them to keep on mining coal. Altho represented as determined to put Lewis in the role of "martyr," those concerned with the crisis spoke of: Possible action- under the Smith act, which provides a year in prison and a $5,000 for inciting strike against government. 2.

A special session of the "lame duck" congress to enact new laws forbidding strikes in so vital an industry as coal mining. The Lewis position, however, there will be no valid contract in existence after the termination time he has -and the United Mine Workers do not work without a contract. Here he clashes head-on with Attorney General Clark, who advised Secretary of the Interior Krug yesterday the contract is binding for long as the government runs mines. Underscoring the gravity of the situation, the solid fuels administration said the nation has only 37-day supply of fuel on hand. compared with the 42-day stock before last spring's crippling two-month walkout.

Wreckage was found at about 5,800 feet, just below a saddle between White mountain and adjacent peaks. White mountain is 30 airline miles, nearly 50 by ground, northwest of Lockheed air terminal here. It is about 12 miles south of Gorman and four miles west of the Ridge route, Los geles-San Francisco inland way.

From the air only parts of the tail and a propellor of the plane could be seen. Wings, fuselage and, presumably, victims' bodies were buried in snow. The ship, carrying eight passengers and three crewmen, was only three or four minutes from the terminal, inbound from Salt Lake City, when it last reported by radio at 3:37 a. m.
