(AP wirephoto.) SOVIET TALKS UP Mountain Battles Flare Up GAS EXPLOSION 3-WAY COALITION in Italy; Sparanise Captured CRIPPLES TOWN MOSCOW, Oct. 25. (AP)-Diplomatic experts began today to set down in black and white the points agreed upon by representatives of the United States, Russia and Great Britain as the tri-partite conference on war and post -war problems moved into its seventh day. The discussions proceeded amid growing signs in the Soviet press that the Russians considered a coalition of the three powers as necessary for future world peace, the publication War and the Working Class asserting that "a combination of any two of them should not stand alone." The nature of the documents to be drafted by the experts was not disclosed, but it was learned that United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Soviet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov already had begun deliberating on particular issues after having agreed in principle on some of general questions.

"Unity Necessary." The usually hard-hitting trade union organ, War and the Working Class, said the conference would overcome difficulties "which not but "will 'are fulfill its, important mission of breaking down the enemy's calculations for prolonging the war." Asserting that this was the "first real problem," the magazine added its conviction that the -war "unity of these three powers which head the anti-Hitlerite coalition is necessary and it should become the center around which people striving for solid peace should unite." At the same time, however, the publication renewed its objections to the Polish government-in-exile in London, indicating that reports that the Russians had agreed to resume diplomatic relations with this government were unfounded. Meanwhile, a new United States military mission, led by Major General John R. Deane, was installed yesterday and assigned to improving American cooperation with the Russian armed forces and coordinating the work of lend-lease and other American agencies in Moscow.

(P) Ellen, WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. (AP)Continued rail transportation and coal production hung in the balance today, threatened by strikes over wages. The war production board foresaw crippling results in steel plants, shipyards and munitions factories unless the situation eases quickly. The soft coal problem, raised because the United Mine Workers are without a contract with the operators, was complicated further by repor's the labor "that alar board was cool to a proposed "model" plan.

The WLB, trustworthy sources said. is not likely to approve the union-backed a contract with the Illinois Soft Coal Operators' association raising wages in effect $1.50 a day. An alternate formula, calling for a day more, may be suggested by the board. This knowledge came out of week-end conferences in which the board explored the subject extensively. The week-end parleys were impelled by the rapid disaffection in the coal fields after the government returned mines to private ownership after a summer of federal control.

Approximately 35.000 of the 500.000 soft coal miners laid down their tools. The U. M. W. urged the men to return today, pending a settlement of the wage demands.

A back-to-work movement startled last night. The rail employment problem meantime neared a crisis. The five operating unions prepared for a strike vote among 350.000 workers who demanded a minimum wage boost of $3 a day. A federal emergency board recommendled an increase of 4 cents an hour. The strike vote will require about 30 days.
