The United Mine Workers' journal estimated that it would take 20 weeks reaching into the winter at the three-day work schedule, to reduce the present stockpile of 75,000,000 tons to a more normal reserve of About 7,500,000 tons will continue to be produced Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week. That is about 2,500,000 tons less than the 10,000,000 being consumed weekly. Even without the journal's broad hint of a five-month program, many operators were fearful that by bowing to Lewis' plan they would be saddling themselves with a union-controlled work schedule for many months if not longer.

Pilots flying out of the Sky Ranch Airport near Issaquah were looking forward today to rush business among passengers who want to be looking downward on the pastoral peelers. Ab Davies, manager of the Sky Ranch, said the nudists protested the formations of peek-a-boo pilots peeling off above the grounds last year.

The United States government has quietly but actively interested itself in strengthening Tito's economic weak points almost entirely by encouraging western European nations to find ways to trade with Yugoslavia. At present this government is prepared to support as a matter of "good business" Yugoslavia's pending application for a $50,000,000 industrial development loan from the world bank. 3. On its part, Tito's government had gradually been cutting down aid to the communist quer-rillas in Greece.
