Reufher Political Foe
Freed After 2 Days of
Quizzing on Attack
By tht Associated Frees
DETROIT, April 24.—A political
foe of Walter P. Reuther was freed
today after two days of questioning
in the attempted assassination of
the fiery union leader.
The release on $2,000 bond of
Nelson Davis, 52, was ordered by
Circuit Judge Arthur Webster de
spite the pleas of Detroit police
that the Negro auto foundry workei
be detained another 48 hours.
Davis, a minor official of Mr.
Reuther’s United Auto Workers,
was taken into custody Thursday
on a report from a union tipster
that he could give information on
Mr. Reuther’s shooting, police said.
Prosecutor James N. McNally said
Davis was an admitted'Communist.
Bond Is Ordered.
Held without charge, Davis de
manded freedom on grounds he was
“manifestly innocent” and that
police had no ' specific reason” to
hold him.
Police answered that Davis “isn t
telling all he knows.”
At a hearing on Davis' writ of
habeas corpus today Judge Web
ster ordered Davis released on
bond.
Davis was told, however, to be
available for further questioning.
Specifically, he was told to appear:
for questioning at 11 a.m. Wednes-;
day. The hearing on the writ or
habeas corpus was adjourned until
May 3, when authorities will either
give more information on Davis or
ask the court to dismiss the bond.
Court Acts Over Protest.
The court’s action was taken
over the protests of Mr. McNally
who claimed “we got certain in
formation the other night which
we have been unable to check.”
During these legal proceedings,
Mr. Reuther was reported doing
well in Grace Hospital. He was
taken there immediately after the
shooting, in which his right arm
was nearly torn off by the shotgun
blast.
Specialists said they believed he
might regain full use of his arm,|
despite injury to a nerve.
Two other NAW unioinists were;
questioned briefly Saturday. They
were Hodges Mason, described by
police as "a left-winger,” and Mar-'
Ion Butler, another Reuther oppon
ent, and a former UAW official in
Flint.__

The Federal Spotlight
Error Puts Labor Department
Into Jam With House Group
By Joseph Young
A comedy of errors has got the Labor Department into quite
a jam with the House Appropriations Committee.
It all started several months ago when a House Appropria
tions subcommittee headed by Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin, began hearings on the Labor Department’s 1949
budget requests. , '_
Undersecretary of Labor David A.'
Morse and Philip Kaiser, director
: of the Office of International Labor
j Affairs, were asked by the committee
: if the FBI thor
oughly investi
gated all Labor
j Department pcr
| sonnel sent over
1 seas.
j "Very thor
oughly,” replied
1 Mr. Morse, de
i daring the FBI
was called in on
all these cases.
Mr. Kaiser vol
unteered the in
formation that
the department
at the moment
was awaiting Joseph Younr.
clearance on three persons it was
planning to send overseas. x
All this was news to FBI Chief
J. Edgar Hoover, when word of the
testimony drifted back to him sev
eral weeks later. Mr. Hoover prompt
ly wrote a letter to Chairman Keefe
declaring that something funny was
going on. The Labor Department
never had asked the FBI to investi
gate the loyalty of any overseas
personnel, Mr. Hoover declared.
Confronted by Mr. Hoover's letter,
Mr. Morse and his aides sheepishly
acknowledged that the ?BI chief
was correct. It wasn't that they
wanted to mislead the committee,
they said. It was only that for
these many months they had been
under the mistaken impression the
FBI was doing all the investigating
for them, when all the while it was
the State Department's security di
vision that was doing the investi
gative work!
Hmmph! snorted Mr. Keefe and
his colleagues on the committee.
"You would think that the depart
ment would be expected to know
what is going on in its own bailiwick.
If it doesn't, who should?”
What the committee will do about
the matter hasn’t been decided.
But Chairman Keefe is annoyed
about the whole thing and may
have something to say on the mat
ter when the full committee re
ports out the Labor Department's
supplemental appropriations meas
ure on Tuesday.
PAY—Chairman Taft of the Sen
ate Policy Committee is expected to
come out this week in favor of
Federal pay raises.
Senator Taft's announcement of
his stand will probably be made in
Canton. Ohio, on Wednesday, where
he will be campaigning in his
primary fight against Harold Stas
sen. I
The Senator will confer with
Federal employes’ groups at th|t
time and is expected to give the
formal assurance of his support for
some kind of Federal pay legislation.
Senator Taft’s indorsement of Gov
ernment wage increases would
probably help him in the primary
—there are many thousands of Fed
eral employes who work and reside
in Ohio.
* * * *
PLAY BALL—Last Friday’s Con
gressional Record took official cog
nizance of the opening of the base
ball season. Inserted by Represent
ative Lane, Democrat, of Massachu
setts was the stirring epic, "Casy
at the Bat.’’
* * * *
CAPITOL HILL—Legislative em
ployes are, urging the Senate Civil
Service Committee to give them
something special in the way of
retirement benefits.
They want the right to receive
annuities starting at the age of 50
if ‘they are involuntarily separated
from their jobs and have at least
five years of service.
Legislative workers contend that1
■ -
their tenure is far more precarious
than the rest of the Government’s
employes, depending almost entirely
on the political fortunes of the
Representatives and Senators who
appoint them to office.
To be eligible for annuities, the
employes .would have to be 50 or
over at the time of their involun
tary separation. If, for example,
they lo6t their jobs at .the age of
40, they could not collect the annui
ties until the regular retirement
age of 60 or 62.
There's a good chance that the
committee will approve the bill. If
it does, Government employes’
groups are apt to ask the same
rights for the rest of the Govern
ment's workers.
* * * *
CAPITOL ROUNDUP—The Sen
ate Appropriations Committee has
tacked on a rider to the civil func
tions bill that would bar non
United States citizens from civil
service jobs in the Canal Zone. It's
expected that the State Department
will oppose this legislation, contend
ing that it would damage our rela
tionship with the Republic of Pan
ama. . . . Examinations for perma
nent secretarial jobs in the Gov
ernment probably will be given
within the next three or four
months. . . . The Civil Aeronautics
Administration has given cash
awards totaling $650 to three of its
employes for money-saving ideas
submitted by Ahem. They are Eliza
beth M. Donnelly, Helen L. Gar
wood and Ernest Hackett.

Air Force Hearings
In Senate to Speed
DecisionThis Week
By tha Associated Press
A preliminary decision in the con
test about the size and makeup of
a powerful combat Air Force may
| be reached in the Senate this week.
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
I South Dokota told a reporter today
that hearings opening tomorrow
morning on a 70-air group money
bill “should speed up a decision on
this whole problem.” •
Senator Gurney is chairman of
the Senate Armed Services Commit
tee which has been unable to com
plete its decision on an all-inclu
sive bill covering expansion of the
Air Force and other armed services,
temporary draft and universal mili
tary training.
Bridges Favors 70 Groups.
Hearings on the House-approved
70-group Air Force will be before
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee. Chairman Bridges of that com
mittee already is on record in favor
of the 70-group plan rushed through
the House ahead* of all other mea
sures by a 343-3 vote.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
will be the first witness at the
Senate hearings. He already has
raised his original plans for a 55
group Air Force to 66 groups.
This caused Representative John
son, Democrat, of Texas to say yes
terday that the only issue now re
maining is “jet or mothball planes.”
Asks Conversion Now.
Mr. Johnson, a member of the
House Armed Services Committee,
urged Mr. Forrestal and the Sen
ate to follow the lead of the House
in providing funds to immediately
begin conversion from “the moth
ball airplanes of World War II.”
Mr. Forrestal said his 66-group
compromise involves returning some
10 groups of World War II B-29
bombers to active service.
“The issue is,” Mr. Johnson said
in a statement, “not one of billions
of dollars more but rather of $822,
000,000 to provide in 1950 and 1951,
1,056 modern planes of which more
than 75 per cent are jet powered; |
804 of these are jet fighters and 50
are four-engine bombers.”
Senator Gurney backed Secretary
Forrestal’s estimates that the full
70-group program would add $9,000,
000,000 to next year's defense costs:
Instead of t£e $3,198,000,000 voted by j
the House.
UMT Compromise Seen.
When Senator Gurney’s commit
tee meets tomorrow afternoon, it j
expects to receive another adminis
tration compromise on UMT.
This would delay for at least a
year the original plan to set up
a separate UMT to train 18 and
19 year olds. Instead they would
train with regular Army, Navy and
Air Force recruits and draftees but
for less than the two years which
drafted men would serve.
Mr. Forrestal still is asking a long
range UMT program, but told Sen- ]
ators he will go along with the com
bination of draft and UMT train- j
ing during the next year.
The House Armed Services Com
mittee Was to meet behind closed:
doors to begin writing its tempo-,
rary craft bill. It calls for regis
tration pf men 18 through 30 years
with actual induction limited to
those 19 through 25.

Marshall Return Stirs
Talk of Early Meeting
With Western Bloc
By the Associated Brass
Secretary of State Marshall r$
turned yesterday from the Inter
American Conference and the brief
outbreak of “hot water” at Bogota
to resume direction of American
strategy in the global “cold war”
with Russia.
His arrival stirred speculation of
the probability of an early meeting
between American officials and
leaders of the Western European
nations to plan new joint efforts
to hold Russian-backed communism
in check for Europe.
American officials wfere uncertain
for the moment whether such a
meeting would bring Gen. Marshall
together with top Western Euro
pean leaders, such as Britain’s
Foreign Minister Bevin and France’s
Bidault, or whether the sessions
would be at the diplomatic level.
Gen. Marshall himself is expected
to review the situation and lay down
a course for action this week.
Confers With Lovett.
The Secretary arrived at National
Airport at 9 a.m., after an overnight
flight from the riot-wrecked Co
lombian capital. He had told other
delegates there Friday afternoon
that the pressure of important
events required his return to
Washington.
Within 25 minutes after his ar
rival. Gen. Marshall was closeted at
the State Department with his dip
lomatic chief of staff, Undersecretary
of State Lovett, who has been run
ning things in his absence.
Presumably one of the subjects
covered in Mr. Lovett's reportedly
sweeping review of world affairs was
the Palestine crisis. Mr. Lovett is
known to be deeply concerned over
the failure of Jews and Arabs to
respond to American - supported
United Nations efforts to end the
fighting in the Holy Land.
Parley to End This Week.
Gen Marshall himself, stepping
down from the four-engined trans
port plane that brought him home,
confined his public comments to
the Inter-American Conference. He
told newsmen that he expects the
conference to complete its work this
week.
"We had reached decisions on most
of the fundamental considerations,
particularly as to the organic pact,”
Gen. Marshall said.
“There remain the problems of
economic consideration but very good
progress has been made in reaching
a decision regarding many issues
involved.”
Gen. Marshall brought along on
the plane with him William Mc
Chesney Martin, president of the
Export-Import Bank, and Brig. Gen.
Marshall Carter, Gen. Marshall's
secretary.
To See Truman Tomorrow.
Gen. Marshall is expected to con
fer with President Truman tomor
row. The President returned shortly
before noon yesterday from an over
night yacht cruise on the Potomac
with his wife and daughter. Gen.
Marshall went from, the State De
partment to his home at Leesburg,
Va. „ ..;
Meanwhile, official informants con
firmed reports given out here Friday
that Gen. Marshall’s decision to
leave the inter-American conference
and get back to his desk here was
due not to any single crisis at hand
in world affairs, but to a general
accumulation of Important issugs
Mfluiring his attention.* * jteg? .

O'Connor to Retire Saturday
As Corcoran Gallery Curator
Native ef Washington
Quitting at 75 After
20 Years' Service
Jeremiah O’Connor, 75, curator
of the Corcoran Gallery of Art will
retire Saturday. He has held that
position for 20 years. He plans to
remain in Washington, which is
his birthplace.
Mr. O’Connor, a tall, white-haired
man, who graduated from George
town University 56 years ago, wasj
interviewed in his bachelor quar-;
ters at the rear of the gallery yes-!
terday. A short conversation re-1
vealed that he rejects the 19th cen
turys’ idea that the world was get
ting steadily better.
“I used to do a great deal of walk
ing with a friend who had the prog
ress idea,” he recalled. “That was
before World War I. Sometimes we
would walk all the way to Baltimore.
Do you know, he used to argue that
there would be no more wars be
cause nations were moved by eco
nomic considerations?”
Mr. O Connor then was an attor
ney in the Land Office of the In
terior Department. His great in
terest was art. When he retired
he spent some time looking at
pictures in the galleries of Europe.
In 1928 C. Powell Mlnnlgerode, the
director, made him curator.
The acquisition in which he takes
most pride is the sculpture, “Adam
and Eve” by Andrew O’Connor, Jr
tno relation).
To Mr. O'Connor great art is a
religious expression; it has to do
with man’s idea of his role in the
determined to make Berlin unin
habitable for the Western powers,
and the problem of American sup
port for the developing Western
European union.
In addition. Gen Marshall may
want an early look at: the initial op
erations of the Economic Co-opera
tion Administration.
Gasoline Plant Blast
Rocks California Area
ly the Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 24.—
With a roaring jar that rocked a
5-mile radius, a gasoline finishing
plant blew up today in Standard
Oil of California's sprawling El
Segundo refinery.
Thirteen men, most of them fire
fighters, were hospitalized for burns.
No one was injured in the blast,
scores of workmen having been
evacuated from the immediate area
when fire broke out 25 minutes be
fore the 3:30 a.m. explosion.
Fire departments from four nearby
cities helped local companies bring
the blaze under control in little
over an hour.
Company officials said an inquiry
was under way to determine cause
of the second major fire at the
refinery in five months. The blast
blew a heavy piece of steel nearly
a quarter of a mile, awakened thous
ands of residents in nearby cities
and lit the sky with a roaring pillar
■of flame visible 15 miles away.
Today’s blaze was kept away from
vast storage tanks *t" cbe piant,
one of California’s largest. One of
the tanks blew up last December
killing one workman. Its cause was
never fully explained, the blast being
attributed variously to a bolt of
lightening or to static electricity
which set oft the finished gasoline.

universe, the old idea of human dig
nity, of being made in the image of
the Creator. Modem art is a denial
of this concept by atheists.
He has his definition of modem
art—a bit of double talk which he
delivers with something of a mum
ble. It goes:
“Ecstatically exuberant but rep
resentationaily renunciatory, an ex
cursion into esoteric escatology; or
epexigatically apocalyptic: or a reve
lation of a reaction to cosmic rhythm
so idiosyncratic as to be pathogo
monic of incipient paranoia super
induced by persistent hebephrenia
and synchronized by chronic bor
aorygmony.”
Then he says: “You see—very im
pressive, but meaningless.”
Trumbo Trial Opening
Tomorrow Is Second
In Contempt Series
Film Writer Dalton Trumbo, 42,
will go on trial tomorrow in Dis
trict Court on a charge of contempt
of Congress.
He is the second of 10 Hollywood
figures scheduled to be tried on
contempt indictments arising from!
testimony at the House Committee
on Un-American Activities film in
dustry hearings last October. Each
is accused of refusing to answer
a question as to whether he ever
was a member of the Communist
Party.
The first tried, John Howard
Lawson, 53, also a writer, was con
victed by a District Court jury last
Monday. Justice Edward M. Cur
ran held sentencing in abeyance
pending disposition of Lawson’s
motion for a new trial, filed Friday.
Trumbo’s screen work includes
the scenarios of “Kitty Foyle,”
“Our Vines Have Tender Grapes,"
“Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” and
"Tender Comrade.”
He will be tried before any judge
who is free when his case is called
tomorrow. •'"Indications"■ yesterday
were Justice David A. Fine probably
would hear the case. t
Assistant United States Attorneys
William Hite and Oliver Dibble will
conduct the prosecution. Trumbo
will be defended by a staff of
lawyers headed by Robert W.
Kenny, who also was Chief of Law
son's defense counsel.
