GOP CHECKING ON FOOD HERE

Congressional Committee to Hear Dealers.

Local meat and grocery representatives will have an opportunity to mold the Republican national food policies at a hearing at 2 p. m. today. Full scale investigations on government control of the food problem will be launched in hearings before seven members of the Republican congressional food study committee in the Claypool hotel. Warned by Rep. Gerald Landis of “imminent riots leading to national revolution” after a preliminary survey yesterday of the local meat situation, committee members will sift information from the hearings to form the foundations of G.

STOLEN CROWN JEWELS FOUND

Chicago on May 28 by a judge from Alton, Ill The couple on their honeymoon led military police a. merry chase through Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, Hudson, Wis, and many other towns, before they were finally captured in Chicago's La Salle hotel. The capture took place 48 hours before the hotel was swept by a disastrous fire, The investigators used a lie detector to help sweat the truth out of the pair. “As far as we know the Durants had not disposed of any of the jewelry,” Col. Pierce said. ‘The part of the loot in the possession of Mrs. Durant was found in- various hiding places in the home of her sister in Hudson, Wis. The investigators would not say whether any other persons in Hudson except Mrs. Durant were implicated. Precious records and correspondence of the former royal Hesse family, a jeweled family Bible of ancient origin, and letters from Queen Victoria of Britain, were included in the loot found at Hudson. Far Greater Value The investigators would not answer questions about whether the other two suspects—the major and the corporal—were still overseas. So far as the army knew, Durant had not approached any dealers in gems. They thought that the removal of the stones from their settings made it obvious that the colonel was preparing to dispose of them. : The couple had just purchased a brand-new 1946 Hudson automobile. The investigators indicated that the jewels were of far greater value as collectors’ items than the $1,500,000 value placed on them. The jewels were found last November by the corporal in a leadlined bog hidden beneath a sub-

The dispute ine volves six C. I. O. maritime unions and one independent. The C. I. O, national maritime union went ahead with strike prep arations, including plans. for using a $1,000,000 strike fund. ° The hard coal miners were granted -an 18%-cent hourly wage increase and. a $2,700,000 yearly health and welfare fund. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (A. F. of L.), said he ex~ pected the 76,000 anthracite miners to indorse the new contract enw thusiastically.

Baseball Strike Halted

Elsewhere the first attempt to organize a big league baseball club received a major setback last night in a stormy clubhouse meeting in which the Pirates voted to ignore a strike call issued by Robert Murphy, organizer of the American Baseball Guild. Mr. Murphy had called the strike to press demands for union recogni=tion. Earlier he had said that “everything .depends” on whether the strike was called. But after the players filed grimly out of the clubhouse and onto the field, he issued a statement saying he would continue attempts to win union recognition. The vote against a strike was 19 to 17. In the Chrysler dispute, the come pany said the 80-man strike was called to protest a “one-day dise cipline” given an employee for loafing. Others Sent Home
