Fifty thousand U S soldiers are prepared to take over the strike bound coal mines if President Roosevelt orders a move. An adviser says the force size is adequate to protect lives and property without frightening workers. Troops would act with precise instructions and avoid bossing or taunting miners. Military leaders expect about 75 percent to return to work on patriotic grounds, with the rest drifting back later.
