Most of this equipment is being taken to warehouses on the old Allison plant property where offici estimate it is being sold off, at Clayton formula prices, at around $100,000 worth a day.

dred thousand families in the Detroit area. ‘Foregone Conclusion’ In the railroad development A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and Alvanley Johnston, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said last night that a rail strike was “a foregone conclusion.” They said early returns from an election among 300,000 brotherhood members showed almost 100 ‘per

Representatives of the two brotherhoods walked out of a negotiation conference last year after railroad operators refused to consider operational grievances along with wage demands. Meanwhile union leaders of the National Federation of Telephone Workers authorized the executive board to set a strike date but to *“gecure, if possible, a peaceful and satisfactory settlement of all dispes.” A strike by the federation’s ,000 members would tie up telephone service in 43 states. Little Progress at G. M. In Detroit a parley between General Motors and the U. A. W. broke up after four hours yesterday. Federal Mediator James F. Dewey said meetings were “still harmonious” but admitted that little progress had been made. “The conference is still in disagreement on three things: Wages, union security and Paragraph 63 of the old contract, covering promotions and transfers,” Mr. Dewey said. Meantime, C. I. 0. electric workers held a mass-meeting at Pittsburgh and passed a Fesolution charging that Westinghouse's proposals would “destroy our incentive earnings, substitute a percentage increase for a straight cents-per-hour Increase, eliminate the day workers’ bonus, take away maine tenance of membership and checkoff, payment to stewards, seniority guarantees” and other benefits. In connection with the meeting of the. mine union executives, the belief was current in labor circles that it was a question of when rather than whether the U, M.

Ickes resigned last week with the declaration that he would not serve an administration that expected him to commit perjury. The senate committee, which is considering Mr. Pauley’'s nomination to be undersecretary of navy, summoned Mr. Ickes’ former subordinate to testify about .an IckesPauley conversation in September, 1944. Mr. Ickes had testified that Mr. Fortas was present when Mr. Pauley, then Democratic national treasurer, made the alleged “raw proposition” to him. Confirms ‘Mention’ Mr. Fortas said it was true that both campaign contributions and the tidelands suit were mentioned in the conversation.

But he said he was unable from memory to confirm or deny that the two subjects were mentioned “on a contingency basis.” Mr. Fortas said he felt Mr. Ickes’ integrity and honestly were “of the bighest order.” But he refused to express an opinion as to the accuracy of memorandums on the conversation which Mr. Ickes presented. Earlier, Secretary of Navy James Forrestal told the committee he had “a favorable impression” of Mr, Pauley’s character and ability. He declined, however, to make a flat recommendation as to whether the senate should confirm the California oil man’s nomination. Mr. Forrestal said he assumed Mr. Pauley would drop his outside business activities if he were confirmed. Denies “Pressure”

The secretary also stated “without qualification that at no time has he brought pressure on behalf of any Individual or interest so far as navy business, contracts or personnel are concerned.” Mr. Pauley would not have direct control of the navy's oil reserves, Mr. Forrestal told the committee. He said the reserves would be left in the hands of Assistant Secretary John L, Sullivan. " Mr. Forrestal sald he was jealous of the navy's reputation for integrity and efficiency as a fighting arm. “I can assure you,” he added, “that while I regard my own personal fortunes in terms of reputation as quite secondary to the con-

do not propose lightly to expose myself or the splendid associates who have helped me in this tremendous task to the risk of blotting the copybook at the end of the record.” Mr. Forrestal testified that he discussed with the late President Roosevelt, shortly before his death, the possible nomination of Mr. Pauley as undersecretaty. The secretary said he suggested that Mr. Pauley come into the navy “to work as other civilians had done” and that he would consider him for a higher appointment when a vacancy occurred, After Mr. Roosevelt's death, Mr. Pauley was named ambassador for reparations and was not available for the navy job.

N. Y. DEMOCRAT WINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 (U, P).— The Democrats returned Arthur G. Klein to congress today but the American Labor party challenged their traditional control of the 19th (lower east side Manhattan) congressional district. Mr, Klein, a former congressman, received 17,360 votes in yesterday's special election to 13,421 for Johannes Steel, radio commentator and A. L. P. candidate, and 4314 for William S. Shea, Republican. Labor party leaders claimed significance in the fact that the Demo-

their east side stronghold. The vote was exceptionally light and the A. L. P. claimed Mr. Klein's vote was the maximum strength of the Tammany machine. In 1944, Samuel Dickstein, whose appointment to the state ‘supreme court necessitated yesterday's special election, polled 52,834 votes on the Democratic ticket and the A. L. P. gave him 17,373—13 more than Mr. Klein drew from his own party.

VETERANS MAKING GOOD ON U. S. LOANS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (U. P.).— Veterans are proving themselves good businessmen, The veterans administration reported today that fewer than one out of every 1000 veterans who received loans under G.

Washington. They pointed out that the law also was ambiguous in that the veteran has his choice of companies to choose the legs from, yet bids are required for the artificial limb. The VA wired there would be a ruling in 60 days.. The Legion answered it was too long to wait, Finally authority was’ received to repair the leg. Meanwhile, there are 360 Hoosier veterans who have been, accepted for hospitalization but have not been admitted. The Indiana department of the Legion Has appealed to the VA to take over Baer AAFP hospital at. Ft. Wayne on a temporary basis. William E. Sayer, Legion department adjustdgt, said: “By taking over Baer field army hospital, with its present staff, we could bridge the emergency and take care of disabled veterans during the year or 18 months it will require to build a new veterans’ hospital.” Some time ago the VA announced that a 200-bed general and medical hospital would be builf at Pt Wayne. Meanwhile, until the situation is clarified, the veteran is the only loser.

plain he doesnl} like them. He was invited to testify at the insistence of Republicans who charged he had been attacked unjustly by the OPA. Mr. Kaiser, a newcomer to the automobile business, was invited to testify by committee Chairman Brent Spence (D. Ky.), after indicating a desire to be heard.

The invitations left it up to Mr Ford and Mr. Kaiser when they would testify. Mr. Ford said at Angeles, however, that he was willing to appear “whenever the committee asks me.”

The committee is conducting hearings for a bill to extend price control through June 30, 1947. It now is scheduled to expire this June. Mr. Bowles renewed his attack on opponents of continued price control last night in a radio blast against what he termed “irresponsible leaders” of the National Association of Manufacturers. Speaking over a national hookup, the newly designated stabilization director said these leaders, in effect, had served notice that the American people either must meet their price demands or go without new goods. He said 95 per cent of the nation's businessmen were “reasonable, patriotic people.” He urged them to repudiate the “pressure artists who claim to represent them.” The American people, he
