Justice Goldsborough Approves Lewis $100 Pension Plan
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough ruled that John L. Lewis may proceed with a $100 monthly pension for UMW members aged 62+ with 20 years in the pits. He dismissed Ezra Van Horn’s bid to block payments, deeming the plan reasonable and not violating the 1947 contract or Taft Hartley act.

Russians Meet Allies to Talk of Reich Money
Berlin June 22 AP High Russian officials for first time in three months met the Western Allies to discuss currency reform for the four power area and ensure continued trade between Soviet and Western Germany using different currencies. Talks proposed by British officials opened in the afternoon with Soviet sources saying reform for the Russian zone could come soon. Police were doubled in parts of the Russian sector of Berlin. An agency said old reichsmarks looted in Western Germany were being flown to Berlin to disrupt the economy, a claim disputed by others. If a compromise is reached, options include circulating only Russian zone currency or a special Berlin currency, with the latter deemed unlikely.
