10% Stopgap Increase
Sought by Rails Until
27% Plea Is Studied
By the Associated Press
The Nation’s railroads will ask
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant a 10 per cenl
"stopgap” freight rate increast
at a hearing Tuesday while con
sidering a plea for increases av
eraging 27 per cent.
The proposal was set forth in a
petition filed with the ICC yester
day as a substitute for a July 3 re
quest for a 16.7 per cent increase.
Since then, the petition estimated,
operating costs have gone up $625,
000.000 a year, including a $438,000,
000 wage increase granted this week
to such nonoperating employes as
shopmen and clerks.
The lines estimated a 27 per cent
increase would yield $1,873,000,000 a
year additional revenue to help
meet rising wages, taxes and prices
of materials and supplies.
Averages 28 Per Cent Over Nation.
The amended request calls for a
38 per cent increase on many ar
ticles in the East north of the Ohio
and Potomac Rivers and east of the
Mississippi and a 28 per cent in
crease in the southern and western
territories.
Since the lines asked for specific
increases in cents rather than in
percentages on a number of com
modities, the request filed with the
ICC estimated the average as 27 per
cent for the country as a whole.
Among the commodities on which
t he railroads asked specific increases
in cents are:
Baled cotton, 10 cents per 100
pounds; fresh fruits and vegetables,
20 cents per 100; sand, 60 cents per
net ton; salt, 3 cents per 100; fuel
wood, 12 cents per 100; cement and
lime, 9 cents per 100, and sugar, 18
cents per 100.
‘The railroads have been unable
and will continue to be unable to
effect economies or savings to offset
• • • increased operating costs
to any substantial extent,” the peti
tion said.
The railroads received their last
Reneral freight rate adjustment
January 1 when the commission
authorized average increases of 17
per cent.
When the lines came in this sum
mer with the request for an addi
tional 16.7 per cent increase they
said the previous authority had
failed to yield the necessary revenue
to keep up with increasing operat
ing costs, provide the type of serv
ice which the public was demanding
and allow an adequate return on in
vestment.
Communists' Failure
In Panama Reported
ty the Associated Press
The House Committee on Un
American Activities today reported
informally that a Communist drive
to enlist Panamanians in the Canal
Zone has failed.
The report came from Representa
tive McDowell, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, a committee member as
signed to investigate after the group
had received reports that Com
munists were endeavoring to estab
lish themselves firmly in the Canal
area.
Mr. McDowell, who spent a month
in the Canal Zone, said in an inter
view:
"The campaign proved just as un
successful among the poorer classes
in Panama as it has among the
Negroes in the United States. I
found a high degree of loyalty and
patriotism among the natives and
the Communist propaganda just
didn’t sell.”
A major factor in defeat of the
initial Communist drive, Mr. Mc
Dowell said, was the strong Cathol
icism of Panamanians.
“There is no assurance that the
effort has completely failed.” he
said. "I found indications that lead
ing Communist agents from near
by countries have been withdrawn
from Panama because the initial
propaganda line has failed. It may
well be that they are now receiv
ing new instructions from the party
and will reappear at a later aaie.
Union Body Asks Miners
To Return to British Pits

LONDON. Sept. 6—The National
Union of Mine Workers appointed
a three-man committee today to in

turn to the pits.
The NUM said the committee
would not begin its work until min
ing operations were resumed. The
situation was unchanged today—a
holidav under the five-day week,
The idle were 58,000 Yorkshire
miners who struck in sympathy
with 2,000 «t Grimethrope. The lat

Britain Will Push
German Trade Unity
By the Asiocioted Pres*
LONDON, Sept. 6. — Britain has
told Russia that despite Soviet pro
tests she hopes to “achieve” the
economic unity of Germany at the
four-power foreign ministers’ meet
ing here in November.
The British government issued a
note yesterday rejecting Russia's
protest at recent United States
British-Prench talks on Germany.
These talks preceded the announce
ment of a British-American decision
to step up the level of industry in
the British and United States zones
of Germany to approximately the
1936 standard.
In a similar note the United
States asserted Tuesday that failure
of the Soviet government to carry
out the 1945 Potsdam agreement
with regard to German economic
unity had “placed upon the United
States a heavy financial burden in
the occupation of Germany.”
The Foreign Office reported the
British note said:
“It is recognized that such prob
lems as the establishment of the
level of industry for Germany as a
whole can only be solved with the
agreement of the four powers occu
pying Germany.
“Agreement with regard to such
questions can only be reached after
the attainment of the economic
unity of Germany which it is hoped
to achieve at the next meeting of
the Council of Foreign Ministers.!
In the absence of economic unity
his majesty's government must take
effective action in the economic!
field to administer their zone of |
Germany.”
In Berlin an official announce-!
ment said yesterday that during
August the United States and
Britain shipped more than $62,000,- |
000 worth of foodstuffs into the;
former Reich for the civilian popu- ;
laLiuii, ui which rviiieiicuii taxpayers
paid for $60,000,000 worth. ' |
Allies Planned Expedition
To Aid Finns, Swedes Say
By the Associated Press
STOCKHOLM. Sept. 6. — Docu
ments published by the Swedish
Foreign Office purport to show that
if the 1939-40 war between Russia
and Finland had lasted another two
days France and Britain would have,
dispatched a force of 50,000 men
against the Soviet Union.
The SvMelish White Paper, pub
lished yeslerday, said that Swedish j
Consul Raoul Nordling brought King
Gustaf a special message from
French Premier Edouard Daladier!
on March 2, 1940, that such a force (
would be sent to Finland across.
Northern Norway as part of a gen
eral offensive against Russia sched- j
uled for March 15. Finland made
peace with Russia on March 13.
The White Paper added that on
the same day—March 2—the Brit
ish Minister in Stockholm submitted
a note proposing the dispatch of,
British troops through Sweden. Per
mission later was refused by Sweden.
The document quoted the diary of
former Swedish Minister Christian
Guenther to the effect that the at
tack on Russia through Finland was
to precede a sortie against the
Soviet Caspian Sea port of Baku,
north of Iran.
Lucas Sees Possibility
Of Special Congress
fty the Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 6 —
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois
expressed belief yesterday there was
“some possibility" that a special ses
sion of Congress would be called to
consider emergency economic aid
for Europe.
“I hope we can get along without
one," he added. “That’s the desire

Study of Jap A-Bomb Survivors
Fails to Show Cancer Increase
By th* Associated Brest I
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Since the
atom bombs fell on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, there have been only four
cases of leukemia, a cancer of the
blood, among the survivors, Dr.
Shields Warren, a member of the
Atomic Casualty Commission. Na
tional Research Council, said today.
This is exactly the same rate,
about two cases per 100,000 popula
tion, which is normal in the United
States, he told the Fourth Interna- '
tional Cancer Research Congress.
No tumors of ovaries among
women due to bomb radiations have
been detected, and there is not yet1
any evidence of increased incidence
of usual types of cancer, he said.
It probably will take 10 to 20
years before evidence of any in
creased cancers can be determined,
and about 50 years before there can j
be any conclusive evidence that the
radiations might cause any effects
on inheritance, Dr. Warren added.!
Survivors are being observed closely i
as one phase of studies to learn what
might happen to workers in plants
using atomic energy if they should
accidentally become exposed to
radioactive elements.
Dr. Austin Brues, director of the
biology division of the Argonne
National Laboratory for Atomic Re
search at Chicago, described animal
experiments in which cancers de
veloped after exposure to radioactive
substances.
Cancerous g-owths appeared some
time after the animals wrere exposed,
he said. Experimenters have not
yet been able to shorten the period
of delay before the appearance of
the tumors. Some chemicals have
the same kind of latent period before
producing tumors in animals, while
other chemicals act much faster.
This would indicate differences in
the sequence of events when cancer
is started by radiations, and when
it is started by chemical means,1
Dr. Brues said. Attempts are being i
made to learn just what happens1
atfer exposure to radiations.

Question New Suspect
In May Slaying Case
Omaha authorities today were
questioning a new suspect in the
slaying of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. May II

Cutler of Douglas County said this
morning.

revolver. Their car was found
abandoned in an alley in Omaha
later. ”

friends. He has not been charged
but is being questioned to straighten I'
DUt “some discrepancies” in his
story. The sheriff said the youth
reportedly had left Omaha to hitch- ,
hike tc California.

Izveslia Says 100,000 Tried
To Enter Red Zone in 1946
ly the Associated Press
MOSCOW, Sept. 6.—The govern
ment newspaper Izvestia told Rus
sians today that more than 100.000
persons unable to find jobs in the
British-Arnerican zones of occupied
Germany in 1946 tried to enter the
Soviet Zone.
The assertion was made by a

ior, of slander and repeating un
ruths in connection with reports of
nass flights of Germans from the
Soviet zone.
The article said several thousand
jersons did leave the Soviet zone in
1946 and in the first seven months
>f this year, and quoted the Soviet-!
icensed German newspaper Vor-!
vaerts (a Communist organ) as
laying they were war criminals, ac- j
ive Nazis and criminal elements.
Gen. Clay reported August 17
hat Germans illegally entering the.
American occupation zone from the

40 Million Pound Sale
Of Maryland Tobacco
Sets All-Time Record
Sy th« Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.—The De
partment of Agriculture reported
today that auction sales of the
1946 Southern Maryland tobacco
crop set a new record this year at
40,603,906 pounds.
The sales ended officially August
>29, with clean-up sales continuing
until last Monday. Although pound
age set a new mark for the 107
years for which records are avail
able, the average of *44.67 per hun
dred pounds was down *12.14 from
last year.
Total deliveries, including receipts
on the Baltimore hogshead market, ’
were estimated at about 44,500,000
pounds, the department said. Ap
proximately 4,000,000 pounds more
is estimated still in the hands of
farmers.
The sharpest decreases from last
year were in the medium and low
qualities of dull crop, dull, tips,:
seconds and ground leaves. These
were down from *20 to *39 gen
erally.
Declines for good to choice dull
crop, some good dull, fair to choice
bright crop, fine seconds and most
nonedescript were considerably j
smaller. Most decreases for them!
were *10 to *18, but on a few small!
volume grades the drops amounted
to more than *40 a hundred.
The department said larger pro
portions of better quality grades,,
as compared with 1946 sales, es
pecially in bright and dull crop of
light red color, minimized the drop
in the general average consider
ably.
Grower dissatisfaction with prices
was manifested throughout the sell
ing season of 19 weeks, starting
April 22.
The department said reports on
the 1947 crop, now being harvested,
indicated irregular growth with the
condition on August 1 indicating a
crop of 34,560,000 pounds.

Scratches and Abrasions.
Police disclosed that Wyvell, when
tal^n to the precinct station after
his arrest, was treated for two
scratches on his back and abrasions j
on his right leg. They were caused j
when he was hit by Pvt. Wiidman:
in defending himself, police de- i

Pvt. Wiidman reported that when
he stopped the car and put his

eral times by Wyvell.
Meanwhile, police were investigat

A Police Trial Board yesterday
WsarH a Ti/aitracc tectifv that Pn.
liceman Alfred M. Burnell, 35, of
the 11th precinct, slapped her Au
gust 8 when she refused to let him
take her home. The witness was
Miss Mary H. Pence, 1301 Ridge
place S.E.
Pvt. Burnell is charged with con
duct unbecoming an officer, drinking
in public ana being under the in
fluence of liquor while off duty and
in uniform.
Slapping Charged.
Miss Pence, a waitress in the
Hillcrest Grill in the 27000 block
of Good Hope road S.E., said Pvt.
Burnell slapped her after she
refused to allow him to take her
home when she left work about
1 am.
She testified during the all-dav
hearing yesterday that Pvt. Burnell
had been in the grill earlier, and
although she did not see him drink
anything, there was alcohol on his
breath. He was in uniform, she said.
“I wouldn't say he was drunk at
all,” she added, however.
Dudley Proctor, 5202 Jay street
N.E.. an engineer at the Dunbar
High School, told the hearing he
noticed Pvt. Burnell “weaving” down
the street near the grill, sometime
before the alleged slapping incident.
He testified after he stopped to
get cigarettes at the grill and re
entered his car. Pvt. Burnell came
up to him and demanded to see his
permit and registration card.
The policeman then went through
his pocketbook. gave it back to him,
cursed him and tore out the back
seat of his car, Mr. Proctor charged.
He said Pvt. Burnell was “intox
icated or something—I couldn't say
whether it was liquor, but it was
a drug or something that had given
him the characteristics of a
drunken man.”
Pvt. Burnell testified he could
not remember what happened after
he drank a glass of whisky he
estimated to contain three or four
"shots” in the kitchen of the grill,
while on his way home after get
ting oft duty about 11:30 p.m. Au
gust 7.
He said he last remembered get
ting into the car of a fellow officer
to go home after leaving the grill,
and that he awoke shdrtl.v before
5 a m. in a chair in the yard of his
apartment home in the 2800 block
of Naylor road S.E.
While serving with the Marines
in Panama and Nicaragua in 1928'
or 1929, he said, he contracted
malaria, but he was not prepared
to say a recurrence of the effects
of the disease was responsible for
his temporary loss of memory, be
cause “I'm not a medical man.”
Called Precinct Car.
Pvt. Francis J. Gallahan of No.
11 precinct, who was on duty at the
time, said he attempted to get Pvt.
Burnell to go home. After the in
cidents with the motorists and the
waitress, Pvt. Gallahan said he
called the precinct for a car to take
his fellow officer home since he was
“a little under the weather.”
Pvt. Gallahan said he did not pay
much attention to Pvt. Burnell’s
conversation with Mr. Proctor, since
“I was interested in getting him
away from there." "He was getting
kind of loud, and people were stand
ing on the other side of the street,”
the officer said.
He said Pvt. Burnell did not slap
the waitress “viciously,” and he
:ould not tell whether it was a
slap or just a brush of the hand on
the side of her face.
Previously Convicted.
The witness said he told the man
jehind the bar inside the grill not
.o serve Pvt. Burnell anything, add
ing, "In my opinion he had been
drinking a little. He wasn't drunk.”
The accused policeman has been
convicted twice before trial boards
of intoxication, once on and once
off duty. He also has several com
mendations. He has been on the
force seven years. He is married,
has one child and expects a second
child soon.
Defense Attorney Fred J. Icen
hower asked the board to give Pvt.
Burnell another chance and ex
tracted a promise from the police
man that he would resign if he
should get in trouble again, in the
event the board decides against dis
missing him from the force.
The board consists of Inspector
Clement P. Cox. Capt. Benjamin
Kuehling of No. 4 precinct, and As
sistant Corporation Counsel Stanley
De Neale. Prosecuting was Assist
ant Corporation Counsel William S.
Cheatham.
Kelly Probe Completed.
Inspector Lloyd E. Kelly, mean
while, said he has completed his
investigation into a citizen's com
plaint of "unprovoked assault”
against Sergt. Carl G. Damall of
the seventh precinct and has turned
his findings over to Police Supt.
Robert J. Barrett.
Maj. Barrett, who now will turn
the case over to the Corporation
Counsel's office, was not available
for comment, but a spokesman said
a majority of the 11 witnesses had
failed to substantiate the charges.
The complainant was William M.
