The ITU gave up its fight to beat the Taft-Hartley act. It agreed to resume negotiations with 16 newspapers its locals have struck. The union told newspaper publishers and the National Labor Relations Board that it would abandon the "no contract" policy under which it had hoped to retain its traditional colsed shop despite a Taft-Hartley ban on such agreements. Outline of Contract NLRB attorneys and ITU officials already had set up the outline of a contract which union locals will ask publishers to accept.

The outline offered 10 main points on which the union proposed to negotiate: Wages and hours; apprentice training; jurisdiction; joint employe-employer committee on competency job applicants; joint standing committee on arbitration grievances; a clause cancelling the contract if either party fails to live up to the agreement in point no discrimination against union or nonunion help; reproduction work; struck work (tentative), and a clause governing union foremen. Strikes Not Ended The agreement was reached at a meeting here yesterday of Woodruff Randolph, ITU president, Gerhard Van Arkel and Henry Kaiser, ITU attorneys, and David R. Tilling, counsel for PMW Assessment Urged to Aid Miners, Tornado Victims SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 30. executive board of the Progressive Mine Workers of America today called on PMWA locals to levy a one per cent assessment for three months to raise funds for miners whose homes were damaged by the tornado which hit Gillespie two weeks ago. In a letter to all locals the executive board asked for the voluntary assessment on paychecks of miners for April, May and June.

The board said the money was needed because "most members are inadequately insured" to cover costs of rebuilding demolished and damaged homes. The action was announced in the union's official publication, The Progressive Miner.

But the other night he called Carl, told him he House Votes To Include Spain in Aid Nation Will be Included Among 16 Other Countries WASHINGTON, March --The House voted tentatively today to include Spain in the European recovery program.

It accepted 149 to 52 an amendment to the global foreign aid bill to add Spain to the 16 western European nations slated to receive aid from this country for economic rehabilitation. Rep. Alvin F. O'Konski, offered the amendment. Prior to the vote, Rep.

John M. Vorys, 0., announced that the Foreign Affairs committee was willing to accept the amendment. Oppose Amendment. The vote was preceded by brief debate in which Reps. Chet Holifield, and Jacob K.

Javits, N. said it would be a serious mistake to add Spain. Shortly after writing Spain into the bill, the House shouted down Van Arkel and Kaiser returned to Washington today and hoped to "have something definite" in the form of a proposal to publishers. The union's announcement did not mean that its strikes against newspapers were ended. It meant that the union was willing to en- of foreign can shores were not "conclusive.

The Navy, however, refused to comment on an official Soviet statement that no Russian subs have been plying the Pacific around American shores. The statement was broadcast yester- ady by Moscow radio. The Navy likewise refused to comment on reports from administration an'd congressional sources that at 'least five submarines operating near the Aleutians last year were "definitely" identified as Russian. The" three reports were cited by Navy sources, last -week after Navy Secretary John L. Sullivan told a Senate committee that "submarines-not belonging any nation' Vest' "of -curtain" have been sighted off' U.

S. shores recently. The Moscow broadcast termed Sullivan's statement "absurd and grossly slanderous invention calculated to deceive American public opinion." May Not Have Been Subs Canted the snake shipped ter 0rma i written contracts and Rejected Suitor Slain by Police after Terrorizing Divorcee CHICAGO, March 30 Mrs. Mildred Barr, 38, described a day of terror which ended yesterday when police killed a rejected suitor who went to her ttome to murder her. The suitor was George Paulsen, 50, married and the father of a grown daughter.

He was shot fatally in a gun battle with detectives Clarence- Gersch and Terence Kane. Gersch was wounded slightly in the fracas. Mrs. Barr, a divorcee, said she once kept company with Paulsen but broke off the relationship some time ago after she discovered he married. She said that Paulsen chased her in his car as she was driving to work yesterday morning.

He drove up in his car and curbed hers, she said. Then he reached into the glove compartment and drew a .32 caliber revolver. Barr said she backed up, maneuvered her car around Paulsen's and sped away. As she fled he fired three shots which nicked her automobile, she said. She went to a suburban police station and police details TRAPPED IN QUICKSAND.

Lewis, bowing to a federal court order and the threat of another contempt citation, today went before a presidential board investigating the 16-day coal strike. The United Mine Workers chief appeared before the board at 12:54 p. CST--six minutes before the eadline set in a court order issued his morning by Federal Judge Edward M. Curran.

The government' got the court jrder after Lewis ignored a sub- pena issued by the board directing lim to appear before it yesterday. Justice Department officials had that if Lewis defied the court order they were prepared to ask or a contempt citation against him mmediately. Will Report to Truman The board, set up under the Taft-Hartley labor law, has heard only ticipated in the Marshall Plan conference at Paris. Spain was not among them. His proposal would have cut out Spain and the occu- pied zones of western Germany and Trieste.

Vorys opposed the amendment on the ground it would make "an. exclusive club" of the 16 nations and would prevent the rehabilita: tion of Germany. O'Konski's amendment to include Spain is technically subject to a roll call vote before final passage of the bill. But in view of the size of the standing vote for the. amendment, it appeared certain that Spain will be in the measure as finally approved by the House.

T4ien the have it. Opposed By Javits Javits said the action was a "grave mistake" for three reasons: 1. The U. S. has no ambassador in Spain.

If these actually were submarines, the Navy official said, they were not American. There were no U. S.
