Fire Prevention Slogans Written By School Pupils "Don't get 111 up watch your smoke." "Blow out your maten and you'll eave n patch." "No flrex each day keeps the firemen gay." There are the three winning slogans in a context, conducted by the journalism class of the Decatur Catholic high school as a part of the fire prevention week olatervancu now underway here. Garison Munitions Case To Gand Jury Secrecy Surrounds Latest Development Washington. Oct. 9 (I’l’t Justice department lawyers worked over evidence in the Gurxson munitions case today preparatory to going before a federal grand jury here tomorrow. Secrecy surrounded the sensational new development in the race of the 178.000,000 (Ml midwest munitions empire. It wax founded pith a Ixirrowed letter.iead by Dr. Henry Garxson and his brother. Murray W. (Wolf* Gamxon -and xubxv(|U(-iitly wax Invtxigated by the senate war investigating committee for alleged war profiteering. Rep Andrew J. May, D„ Ky„ elderly but Debonair chairman of the house military affairs committee, wax "guardian angel" for the Garxxons, according to teetimony put before the senators. Attorney general Tom C. Clark announced that William A. Paisley of the criminal division, armed with evidence uncoven d by the FBI. will handle the justice department's case before the grand jury. Clark gave no hint of the newly discovered evidence. But another justice department official said/ there were "six and posaibly seven a.leged viola:ions ot the federal code in the Garxxon case, Including conspiracy, bribery and theft." The senate investigation of the Gamson combine opened July 1 and ran from headline to headline until July 25 when May fell ill with a heart condition on the eve of a scheduled appearance. May’s doctors report he is able to testify now If the questioning ix limited to an hour a day, but the ex mmittee has refused to hear him until he is in "robust” health. Dissenting from the committee's decision Sen. Owen Brewster, It, Me., said today that "justice" demands that May be allowed to answer charges against him before the Kentucky elections.

May's name was brought Into the tnrtlrnony on the second day of the senate inquiry, via a transcribed telephone conversation read into the record. II quoted May as asking Maj. Gen. Levin 11. Campbell, army ordnance chief, to “cooperate” with Dr. Henry Garmon reputed, ••brains" of the 16-firin combine. Mrs. Eleanor Hall, former secretary in the Washington office of one of the Gam son subsidiaries, described her former employers as "a bunch of crooks." She said she overheard a combine official promise to send May 13.000 "In a day or so." May served as fiscal agent for the Cumberland Lumber Company, a Garmon subsidiary in Kentucky which reportedly received 149.000 from two other Garsson firms for lumber It never delivered. May denied ever having profited n penny from the lumber venture One <;f the highspots of the •senate investigation was 'Mission Pierre" the 11,407 Wedding party Murray Garsson gave in New York's swank hotel Pierre for his daughter, Natalie, on Jan. 2. 1941 May and prominent chemical warfare service officers wore there.
