Director Hare said this company has been dredging this gravel for over a year, but is contemplating buying new equipment and wants afive-year contract with the city before so doing.

"The company has not paid the city anything for the gravel it removes, but since the gravel must be removed to permit water pumpage, they are saving the city a considerable outlay of cash," he explained. Hare added the type of gravel taken from the North Fork is not suitable for city use. capacity applauded as the vote was complete, and Councir President Clint Comer had to rap his gavel for order. Burdine, in refusing to vote on the 'ssue, said he does not feel council "has the right to regulate the lives of citizens." "If we vote on this question, then we are literally telling Newarkites when they should get up and when they should go to bed," he declared. By further action of the council, Newark will go back to the state code on plumbing and electricity.

During the war, the city fathers adopted emergency specifications for plumbing and electrical work according to rules laid down by the federal government. The ordinance at that time specified federal regulations would remain in effect until 30 days after the "duration." Council last night also gave emergency powers for hiring additional personnel to cope with any emergency, such as a cyclone, earthquake or other disaster. According to terms of the ordinance, the mayor, service director and auditor must concur in declaring the emergency. In general the powers may not be exercised except because of "an act of God." Coming up for discussion at some later council meeting will be a proposed contract with the Fourth Incho City council has ruled it out. By a vote of 7-1 last night, council voted down a proposal that Newark adopt daylight saving time for the summer months.

Paul Fulks (R-Sixth Ward), who sponsored the legislation, cast the only favorable vote. Ray Burdine (D-at-large) did not vote. Council's action followed a half-hour period during which Clerk Donald Curry read many petitions and letters, most of which asked the legislative body to leave the time as it is.

UMW CHIEFTAIN. Iff TYPICAL POSE URW's Wage Request Balked by Tire Firms Chrysler Is Facing UAW Wage Strike Detroit, April 20. Wl Amidi reports of a drastic slash in the union demand, the CIO United Auto Workers executive board met today to stamp its approval on a strike by 75,000 Chrysler Corp. employes. The board's okay was tile last remaining union barrier in the way pi a "sanctioned" walkout.

All legal requirements have been met but no strike date has been set. As the board members convened special session, there were unconfirmed reports the UAW had dropped its wage de mand against Chrysler from 30 i to 18Lu cents an hour. Company negotiators insisted on such a cut, according. to these reports, before making their offer of a six-cent raise last Friday night. The offer was rejected Saturday bv union delegates from 13 Chrysler plants, who asked the executive board to authorize a strike.

Federal conciliators intervened in the dispute yesterday for the first time since negotiations started Feb. 27. Neither they nor the company or union representatives would confirm the reports of lowered union demands. Rebels Claim Victory in Civil War Carlago. Costa Rica, April 20.

Votes for minor parties swelled the anti-Communist total. Alcide de Gasperi, Italy's Christian Democratic premier, said the returns were "beyond his fondest dreams." The Communists had very little to say. Pietro Ingrao, director of the Communist party newspaper. L'Unita. declared in a formal statement the Communist-dominated Popular Front "without any doubt will represent a decisive element in the future parlia- ment and in the country De Gasperi's office issued statement which said the backing given the Christian Democrats "is even greater than we could have hoped for." Partial returns so far in, from both senatorial and chamber of deputies contests, show the Christian Democrats running ahead of the Popular Front almost everywhere, even in the north, where the left has its greatest strength.

(AP) John L. Lewis escaped a jail sentence today but was fined $20,000 personally and his United Mine Workers lor contempt of court. Judge T. Alan Goldsborough accepted a government recommendation for those fines, but said it had been his own inclination to send Lewis to jail. The fines are just double what the bushy-browed DIW chief and his miners had to pay Pittsburgh, April 20.

First reaction of soft coal miners in the field to the fine imposed upon their union and its leader was that "we got a dirty ju'eal." after they similarly were found guilty in 1946 of con tempt for ignoring a court's stop-strike order. In that ease, Goldsborough fined Lewis $10,000 and the union $3,500,000, but the supreme court cut the union's fine to $700,000.

The fines Goldsborough imposed today were only for crim-i inal contempt. The judge granted a government motion to consider a penalty for civil contempt against Lewis and the union on Friday. Lewis and the union each were held guilty by the judge yesterday of both civil and criminal contempt. In civil contempt, penalties are usually based on damages done, so penalties are often fixed to increase if damages continue. This might result in Judge Goldsborough's imposing a daily penalty in event the miners do not work in protest against the criminal contempt fines.

Many were out of the mines today, waiting outcome of the case. Lewis' attorney. Welly K. Hopkins, filed notice of intention to appeal the contempt conviction. This was done right after sentence was imposed.

While Lewis sat stony-faced, Goldsborough told him in passing sentence: "If this court was to use its (Continued on Pafie 2Tcohinin4) G-E Profits Up 42 Pet.

Mines Idle In Protest Walkout Miners Say 'Long Strike Unless Judge Changes Decision' (By The Associated Press) Soft coal miners renewed their walkouts in at least eight states today although a majority remained on the job, awaiting word of John L. Lewis' fate in a Washington court. All but a handful of Ohio's 16.000 soft coal diggers were away from that state's deep shaft pits with the expressed attitude that: "We won't mind so muoh if the court just fines Lewis, but they'll be a long time getting us back if he goes to jail." Only two mines of 200 in Belmont.

Jefferson and Harrison counties in Ohio were operating. Out of 13 strip mines in the three counties, only four were open. Union officials were unavailable for comment on Judge T. Alan Goldsborough's decision to fine Lewis $20,000 and the union, $1,400,000 for contempt of court. Unidentified miners of the.

Many local unions scheduled meetings for this afternoon and evening to discuss the decision. In western Pennsylvania, the Jones Laughlin Vesta No. 4 and No. 5 and Shannopin mines were, idle. At the same, time near normal operations were reported at the Montour No.
