Wheeler to serve as specjal counsel for the Senate War Investigating committee and still continue law practice, here. Congressional parliamentarians, said the veto couldn't be recalled that the only way to undo it, would be for Congress to override the veto or pass new legislation. Senator Brewster (R-Me), said the basis of the veto "was clearly an erroneous Impression of Mr.

Truman's legal adviser" and that after talking with the White House "I think thi White House Is in accord." 1 Wheeler former Democratic senator from Montana and a friend of President Truman, told a reporter there must have been a "mixup" since Mr. Truman had signed identical legislation- previously, The President's veto message, said the bill might be interpreted as giving Wheeler authority to initiate civil or criminal proceedings?

UP) The contract with "Big Steel" out of the way, Philip Murray, president of the CIO and the United Steelwork-ers' Union, today turned his eyes toward Washington where "sometime soon, maybe next week," he will sit down with William Green to talk about a possible merger of the AFL and CIO. The Invitation to discuss an amalgamation of the nation's two greatest labor organizations came from AFL President Green last week. While the contract between the steelworkers and the U. a Steel Corp.

remained unsigned, however, Murray declined to comment on Green's peace message. Such an accord has long been dreamed of by liberal labor leaders, but not until 1947, which brought sharp labor laws to the floor of national and state legislative chambers, did there seem more than a bare possibility of its realization. The CIO-AFL picture has been full of topsy-turvy angles. Murray served 22 years as right hand man to John L. Lewis in the -post of international vice president of the AFL United Mine Workers.

But when Lewis broke away from the AFL through his Committee oa Industrial Organization, which later became the Congress of Industrial Organizations (the present CIO), Murray went along. In 1940, Lewis threw his whole support behind Wendell L. Wlllkie for President, while Murray, listed in "Who's Who" as a Republican, went on backing President Roosevelt for reelection. When Lewis kept his promise to resign "from the CIO if Roosevelt was reelected to a third term, Murray became head of the organization. Th.wo men finally broke in 1942.

supposedly over Lewis' efforts to tafce the CIO back into the AFL. The UMW ousted Murray from his lifelong membership and his Job as rice president, left the CIO and be came an Independent group. Later it reaffiliated with the AFL. Now the circle seemed almost complete, with the CIO and AFL seriously considering a merger of their forces to form once again a single labor front the officers of the telephone work ers, upon unanimous authorization of the International executive obard, this check John T. Jones, a UMW board member, told C.

W. Werkau, strike director for the National Federation of Telephone Workers. Werkau thanked him and told him: "Wth your help I know we will be able to carry, the fight through to a successful conclusion." TO HELP STRIKERS Werkau said the money will be used to prosecute the strike and to pay for fuel, food, rent and doctor bills for needy strikers. In refunding the $2,800,000 to the UMW, Goldsborough added a warning that a preliminary injunction prohibiting the miners from striking against the government "Is still in force and can be invoked at any time." The contempt fine and the preliminary injunction were leveled against the UMW last fall after Lewis and the union disobeyed a court to call off a contract termination notice Lewis had served on the government. 'The Supreme Court, on March reduced the fine to $700,000 provided the union showed that it had fully 'complied with Goldsborough's orders.

Sonnett said today the government Is satisfied that the union complied with the mandate by withdrawing the contract cancellation notice and by distributing the word of the withdrawal to its members. He told "the" court that coal production has been "about normal" since April 14. Lewis called off the safety stoppage at that time, it was ordered originally on April I. WASHINGTON, April 24-W-So far as the government is concerned, John L. Lewis.

United Mine Workers can have its $2,800,000, contempt fine refund An official familiar with pollcy- uuuuiig on uie issue disclosed this today as justice department and union lawyers awaited a second appearance before federal district judge Alan Goldsborough. The bearing, postoned from two weeks ago, was ordered to deter mine whether the UMW has compiled with terms of the supreme court decision remitting the bulk oi tne penalty. The government's position, the official told a reporter privately, is that whatever Lewis' actions may have been in the last few weeks, his personal fine is not in volved now and the union appears oe mil compliance. Goldsborough fined the union oou.coo and Lewis $10,000 for noring a restraining order and permitting the 17-day soft coal strike to begin November 21. The Judge had demanded that Lewis withdraw his notice to Sec retary of, the Interior Krug terminating the union's contract with the government as of November 20.

The miners, traditionally don't work without a contract, so the shutdown became effective next aay. On December Lewis called a truce until March 31 to permit the Supreme Court to consider his ap peal without the "public hysteria" he said would surround a prolonged mine shutdown. The high court ruled on March 6 that the union could get back all but $700,000 of its fine if the original notice to Krug were withdrawn in effect eliminating any threat of a strike April 1. Lewis, whose personal fine was left untouched by the Tribunal, complied to the letter on March 19. But on March 25, an explosion at Centralis, 111., killed 111 miners, and the UMW President ordered a six-day "Memorial" shutdown to begin on April 1.

This was followed by an additional "safety shutdown" of most of the Industry. Goldsborough, who has the final say on whether Lewis and the unon have complied with the Supreme Court decision, first had arranged to hear the matter on April S. That session was delayed a week however, by agreement of government and union attorneys.

UP) Counsel for Andrew J. May denied the former House military committee-chairman-received two $1,000 checks for obtaining War Department favors and said they went to the 1944 Democratic campaign fund. Sawyer Smith, May's attorney, made the statement to a jury trying May and three on war fraud charges. Smith told the Jurors if the government pursues details about the two checks at the trial, "I'll have Andrew J. May disclose the entire transaction and it involves high party figures, even members of i Congress." Immediately after Smith finished his opening statement, the government called Emit Kohout, an employe of the American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, as the first witness.

The government had argued that May received the two $1,000 checks for intervening with the War for promotions for two soldiers. William A. Paisley, federal prosecutor, said the checks were given to May bj'E. D. Feldman.

California war manufacturer who bad a son in the Army, and by Albert Freeman, son of the men now on trial with May. The government charges that May, 71-year-old former. Democratic Congressman from Kentucky, together with Murray and Henry Garsson, war-time munitions manufacturers, and Joseph F. Freeman, Washington agent for the Oarsson brothers, conspired to use May's influence to obtain contracts and wangle army promotions. Smith asserted: "Jack May didnt do anything more than" any other congressman did.

Those two $1,000 checks -were purely and simply campaign; contributions to the Democratic 'committee in the 1944 Presidential campaign and nothing else." Smith said" if the government proceeds with evidence about the two checks, "we will bring here the very men who took the money and turned Jt In to the Democratic campaign fund."
