Operators Refuse The Payroll Levy Negotiations Recess
Washington May 15 The government recessed soft coal talks indefinitely as operators rejected a seven percent payroll levy for a miners welfare fund. Edward J. McGrady said negotiators would return when called and that no collapse occurred. Lewis demanded the levy while miners work under a two week truce expiring May 25, with President Truman promising action to avoid a new strike and potential food production disruption.

DRAFT GOES TO HIGHER BRACKETS IN WARTIME DRAFT
Washington reports President Truman signed a 45 day draft extension limiting inductions to men 20 through 25 while barring fathers and teenage youths. Officials say the law may be widened to 20 through 29, but current capacity remains tight with about 69,000 eligible 20 to 25 year olds.
