Nixon urged the Hous,e Labor Committee to hold an investigation to determine if the mere fast "that the man resigned from the party entitled them to be regarded as non-Communists. He said that, in his opinion, : such was not the case. "Perlow, in particular should be prosecuted because of his statement," Nixon said. "The affidavit states that the signer does not 'believe in' nor belong to an organization that advocates the overthrow of the .government by illegal means. Obviously, Perlow still believes in the Communist party." Elsewhere in Congress:

ONARGA, 111., Aug. 26 (UP) A $750,000 fire destroyed the main plant of the Onarga Canning Company here early today. Some estimates . placed the damage' at .$1,000,000. An executive of t!he Daniel F. Rice Commission Co., Chicago, co-owner of the plant, said the actual figure has not yet been determined. . Firemen were unable to subdue the blaze until it practically had burned itself out. Officials believed the fire was started by an explosion of undetermined origin. F. Gladden Searle, president of the company, said the loss included 85,000 cases of freshly packed corn and several thousand cases of asparagus. (' Canning is Onarga's chief industry." The "plant, a one-story building, covered an area equal to a city block. Searle, who is the other co-

owner and lives in Chicago, said the fire put 400 , employes out of work. He added that' it would have taken another week to pack 500 acres of sweet corn which were unprocessed at the tirrfe of the fire. . He estimated the loss of processed corn and asparagus at $400,000.

representative -of the union, said thaat striking drivers would work around the clock to supply the stations. Only unbranded gasoline will be deivered, Burger said. Thomas Cleland of the Federal Conciliation Service, meanwhile, called for another meeting this

morning between the union and the oil companies. Yesterday's meeting came to a sudden finish when the union was asked to go beneath a 12 Vz cent an hour raise. They originally, had asked 17V'2 cents. "If the oil companies want to be bull-headed, we can be bullheaded too" Burger said as he and his associates left the .meeting. The new agreement is expected to end the threatened closing'of industries for lack of fuel oil and will bring welcome relief to motorists who have been forced to wait an hour or more to get gas at the few stations open.

Craig, 40-year-old Hoosier country lawyer from Brazil, Ind., jumped the gun by getting his followers busy on the button-passing and billboardposting. The headquarters of railroad executive, Erie Cocke, Jr., 28-year-old Georgia department commander, dazzled early arrivals with, free soft drinks and "all : the Georgia peanuts they can :hold." Both candidates held initial "press conferences" today. James F. Green, Omaha, Neb., and ' reportedly the candidate with the backing of the present Legion officers, was not expected until late Saturday or Sunday.
