New Jersey Third; These 3 States Get Over 75% of Total
Harrisburg. Oct 2S (UP)—New York State is crowding Pennayl¬ vania as a user of anthracite, the State Mine Department disclosed today.
In the first eight montha of this year, shipment of hard coal to Em¬ pire State consiuners totaled 10,- 564.067 tons, only 467.000 tons less than the tonnage delivered to points  in the G.immonwealth.
Rail shipments to New York overshado%ved Pennsylvania-bound shipmentiff by almost 3.fi00,000 torus. But truck deliveries in Pennsyl¬ vania came to 4,225,99.5 tons com¬ pared to only 309,000 tons delivered by motor vehicles to New Y(wk consumers.
New Jersey, with 4.225.99.'5 tons delivered to coal yards and bins up to the end of August, ranked third among the statea in hard coal consumption.
The three middle Atlantic states received more than 75 per cent of all anthracite shipped to domestic points this year. Of 34.625.084 tons delivered. 26,365,557 tons went to Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.
During the late spring and sum¬ mer months shipments of coal to other states are greater than de¬ liveries In Pennsylvania, but truck deliveries to domestic users in the coal regions more than doubled In the late fall and winter.
New York topped Pennsylvania in the amount of anthracite re¬ ceived this year in April, May and August. Pennsylvania led in the other months.

20,000 Jam Square For Morning Address
By THCVIAS F.  BARRV
President Truman, m a rmglng appeal to labor to protect its rights, struck hard yesterday in his bid for Pennsylvania's 35 electorial votes when he addressed a crowd of 2d,000 in Wilkes-Barre Public Square, estimated. iOarUer, in Scranton, he told an audience of 15,000 that a KepuDlican Congreaa eventually would wreck all gains made by organ¬ ized labor.
In this city President Truman called upon Luzeme coimty citizens to elect Atty. Daniel J. Flood to Congress.
Public Square was a solid mass     "We need  federal aid to educa- of humanity as President Truman spoke. Windows In bulldlnga around the   Square   were   vantage   points for additional hundreds.
The warmth and aincerity of the welcome which was estended to him tn thia city waa flrst ahown in the East E^d section. There, hundreds lined the atreeta and gave the President a great ovation Raps DP Law
The President lost no time in this city rapping the law passed by tHo 80th Congress to admit a limited number of European displaced persons to this country.
"It excluded nearly all displaced persons who belong to the Jewish faith," he said, "and it excluded an unfair proportion of those be¬ longing to the Catholic faith. I do not think thia ia right. It ia not American."
The early morning crowd at Scranton was told by Mr. Truman that the Taft-Hartley Bill ia 'aike a termite undermining and eating away your legal protection to orga¬ nize and bargain collectively. This law. he aaid, is only a aample of what Republicans will do if they win the election. Gives Democratic Program
The President added befora the big Public 6quare throng:
"We need a law that will pro¬ vide a half million of units of low-rent hoiuing, clearance of our slums, and rural housing. The Democratic Congress will give ua that law.
Television Program Sent 6,000 Miles
London, Oct. 23 (UP)—BritUh Broadcasting Corporation an¬ nounced a new television aend- ing record of 6,000 miles today. P. H.

"We need at least a 75-cent mini¬ mum wage. A Democratic Con¬ gress will give us that minimum wage.
"We need extension of Social Se¬ curity to everybowy in the entire nation now covered and a 50-per¬ cent increase In benefits. A Demo¬ cratic CVmgress will give ua that extension and increase.
"We need controls on inflation. A Democratic Congress will give us these controls.
"Then we can go on to build the kind of people's America that our great President, Franklin D. Roose¬ velt, had in mind wheft he gava us the New Deal." Lauds Mitchell, VMW
In his Scranton talk the Presi¬ dent lauded John Mitchell, father of the United Mine Workers, and the progress the organization has made. He praised the Miners' wel¬ fare fund as a move in the right direction.
The President said that the Re¬ publicans had Intended to outlaw union welfare funds, but were stop¬ ped when the courts ruled that companies must bargain on them.
Later in the day President Tru¬ man, in a speecli ^t Johnstown, charged big business with filling the coffers of the GOP in order to guard against tha return of price controls.

city, waa impressed by the grac¬ iousness of the distinguished visi¬ tor and particularly his healthful appearance, after one of tha hard¬ est presidential campaigns ever known.
The President smiled when he mentioned   about  hia  appearance.
President Truman was not the only presidential candidate to ad¬ dress an early morning crowd in the city. Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 spoke to about 40,000 in Miner Park. That meeting was organized by labor. Among those present were John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and for¬ mer Lieutenant (JSovernor Thomas Kennedy  of Hazleton.
Local newspapermen and radio commentators who were close to the Public Square stand were im- p^essed by the President's charm. This waa evidenced in Scranton, also.
Dan Gallagher, retired railroader from East End who celebrated his 80th birthday in March, made the trip to Scranton to meet the Presi¬ dent He managed to tell Mr. Truman that he can recall tlie presidential campaign of 1876 be¬ tween Tilden and Hayes, with Peter Cooper tossed in for good metuure.
Democratic leaders in the coun¬ ty were given an idea of how efficiently United Statea Secret Service agents gruard the Presi¬ dent. After a .check of the plat¬ form built on Public Square, one of them recommended that it be strengthened.
"We don't take any chance," he told County Chairman John A. Riley.
Theodore Roosevelt, the 25th President of the United States, fav¬ ored Wilkes-Barre with three visits  as  chief executive.
President Truman received his biggest kick of the morning when the engineer on a mine lokie for the Hud.son Coal Co. kept the whistle blowing as the President passed. He got a wave from the President  in  appreciation.
The State Police, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre police and borough police on the route of the Presi¬ dent from Scranton kept thc Presi¬ dent well protected. They watched intersections in particular.
The delicate international ques¬ tion was given as one of the rea¬ sons for vigilance of the police. Even the reporters were checked closely.
Residents of North Washington street had more American flagra out than any other section in the President's drive from Scranton to Wilkes-Barre.
An escort of Lackawanna Dem¬ ocrats followed the President al¬ most to the city. They made the return from where the Scranton highway meets the main highway to the Poconoa.
Flanking the President en route to Wilkes-Barre were Attorney Flood and Mr. Riley, while James J. Law and James Sheridan occu¬ pied the auxiliary seats in the White House machine.
Others in tlie escort to Wllkes- Barre were former Mayor Con McCole, M. J. McLaughlin sr., John Malinowski, State Senatorial can¬ didate Patrick Toole, Richard Riley, Daniel Gallagher, Patrick McGinnis, Peter Brady, Attorney James L. Brown,- James Mitchell, Joseph P. CoUis, Joseph Sai.tucci, William  Schrode,  James  Mitchell.
The President received a rousing send-off at the DL&W station. Kingston, from where he departed with a ten-car special. Chief of Police David Francis took care of the President's safety in Kingston.

The governor spent today in the executive mansion, nursing a head cold and working on the four ma¬ jor speeches with which he will fin¬ ish his campaign next week. Fever is Gona
His staff reported that hia cold improved overnight, that he had no fever this morning and was feeling appreciably better. A slight at¬ tack of bursitis in the right shoul¬ der continues to bother him.
Dewey will remain here until Monday night when he leaves for (Chicago. He will speak in (^icago Stadium Tuesday night. He will speak in Cleveland and Boston be¬ fore returning to New York Caty for a mammoth rally at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 30.
