Coal Export Be Avoided by Allied Decisions
Washington officials yesterday predicted that major Allied decisions on Germany would remove the need for Germany to send up to 6,000,000 tons of coal to Europe this winter. They urged prompt action to economically treat occupied Germany to expand coal production and aid Ruhr miners with food, clothing, and labor, citing potential relief from American, British, French, and Russian zones and possible sharing of mining know-how to boost Ruhr output from 8 percent toward higher capacity by October.
