Army Extends Deadline
For Commissions in
Effort to Build Reserve
By Robert K. Wolsh
In an effort to build up its
Reserve units, the Army today
extended indefinitely yesterday’s
deadline for wartime Army of
the United States officers to join
the Organized Reserve Corps
and keep their commissioned
status.
This modified a directive last
spring whereby commissions of
AUS officers who failed to join
Army organized reserve components
June 30 would expire automatically
August 31.
Meanwhile, the Army has worked
out a plan to pay members of Re
serve units while training. It will
give priority to those units that
put in the most time and effort in
training.
The ruling issued from the Ad
jutant General's Office today did
not specifically mention the August
31 date. Officials explained, how
ever, Chat "it is reasonable to as
sume’’ that the extension is for an
indefinite period in line with the
general military expansion pro
gram. This includes the draft law
and moves to strengthen organized
reserve units as well as the regular
armed forces.
80 Pet. Have Joined Reserves.
At least 80 per cent of the AUS
officers have "converted over’ to the
ORC, or in some instances to the
National Guard. About 9.000, as of
,May 1, were on active duty in the
Army and in most cases had ar
ranged for transfer later to the
ORC, if they leave the regular
service. Last February the Army
had 21,000 AUS officers on active
duty.
While detailed totals were not
available at the Pentagon, it was
reported that about 150,000, includ
ing about 4,000 in the Washington
area, were in the AUS officer group
which in recent months had not
joined ORC.
Thousands of others, however, had
joined on being separated from the
service aiter 1945 or even while they
were still on active auty in the
Army, officials explained. ORC
lists approximately 285,400 former
AUS officers who have ORC com
missions, but are not on active duty
with the Army.
With a $12,000,000 allotment for
"inactive pay training of Reserve
organizations, the Army reports it
is speeding up its program. Offi
cials estimated that about 314.000
officers and men already are in
Army Reserve units. Many of these
units, they explained, are not yet
up to class A status.
The pay priority will operate as
follows, according to present plans:
First-Apriority in allocation of the
$12,000,000 will be for pay of ap
proximately 35.000 reservists who
have been drilling at least 48 times
a year in addition to field training.
Succeeding priorities in pay will go
to those drilling at least 24 times
a year, those drilling on an average
of once a month, and those with
only four drills annually.
New Training Chiefs Assigned.
While awaiting an order from the
White House, probably within a few
days, designating August 16 as the
draft registration date and ap
pointing national and State selec
tive service system directors, the
Army yesterday assigned four gen
erals to command new training
divisions for draftees and recruits.
Inductions are to start soon after
September 22.
The new camp commanders are
Brig. Gen. Wayne C. Zimmerman
for the 17th Airborne Division at
Camp Pickett. Va.: Maj. Gen. Rob
ert S. Beightler for the 5th Armored
Division at Camp Chaifee, Ark.;
Maj. Gen. William R. Schmidt for
the 101st Airborne Division at Camp
Breckenridge, Ky., and Maj. Gen.
Lester J. Whitlock of the 10th In
fantry Division at Fort Riley, Kans.
As part of the expansion program
for the National Guard, the Air
Force today began delivering the
first 42 of 107 jet fighters assigned
to .*National Guard units. These
fir. „ planes will go to units in Maine.
Florida, California, Georgia and Ne
braska.
4-State U. 5. Probe Begun
On 'Gouging' in Gl Housing
By the Associated Pres*
NEW YORK. July 1—A four
State Federal investigation of vet
erans’ housing has started as a re
sult of widespread complaints of
"price-gouging” and of ‘'short-cut
ting'' of building specifications.
The investigation in New York,
Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Dela
ware was disclosed today by John J.
Pendergast, acting regional housing
expediter.
Mr. Pendergast said the inquiry
will deal specifically wtih veterans'
houses built in 1946 and 1947 with
priorities and under authorization
of the Federal Housing Authority.
Patrick F. Davis, field agent in
charge of the investigation branch
of the expediter's office here, said
compaints have been received that
veterans were charged over the
maximum sales prices and that
homes were not built according to
specifications contained in the
builders' applications to the Federal
Housing Authority.

themselves might not sound toe
dramatic, but, he added: "Our peo
ple are refined ”
Forced Into Picket Line.
Among other episodes, Mr
Palmer told the subcommittee that
last year a woman employe, Chris
tine Wade, a packer in his firm's
Brooklyn store, was seized as she
was emerging from church and
"forcibly dragged" into a picket line.
Mr. Palmer said a union admin
istrator whom he identified as Flor
ence Nyitray used the strong-arm
method in forcing Miss Wade to join
a picket iine in front of the Brook
lyn Union Bank. He said the bank
was being picketed by members of
an entirely different union.
"Miss Wade w'as so upset that she
was no use to us for two weeks,” Mr.
Palmer said.
The witness said Miss Nyitray told
another woman worker that the
company's New York store would be
struck this summer and threatened:
"If you come to work, you'll get
your head cracked.”
Tension Has Hurt Business.
Mr. Palmer said the company has
been "constantly "faced by activi
ties of union agents which have
upset our stores for the last two
years.”
Mr. Grenfield said that as a re
sult of "nervous atmosphere" cre
ated among the employes, 72 per
cent of potential customers who
walk into Oppenheim-Collins "walk
out again without buying anything.”
"We are not anti-union and we
are not union busters,” he said,
"but we think employes should not
indulge in political activities and
constant agitation against manage
ment."
The Greenfield testified his store
faces a strike August 1 "unless we
sign an illegal contract” with the
union.
He said Local 1250 is "Commu
nist led” and testified Nicholas
Carnes, union local president, is "a
notorious Communist.” He said
Mr. Carnes was a delegate to the
New York State Communist Party
convention in 194£.
llave warea umciais 10 nue.
“We’ve dared officials of Local
1250 to sue us for calling them
Communists.” Mr. Greenfield said
"But they haven't dared to accept
the challenge.”
Mr. Schoff introduced circulars
which accused five top leaders ol
union local No. 3. CIO-United Re
tail, Wholesale Department Store
Employes of being "Communist
agents.” He said these leaflets were
the basis for the local's charges
against the three men.
"The Communist clique's sole jot
is to use the facilities of Local 3 tc
further the program of the Com
munuist party,” one of the leaflets
said.
I ive Named as Top Clique.
The circular named Ralph
Knight. Sam Lewis. Carl Andren
Mina Gersen and James Briglianc
as "the top clique.” It said Knighl
was "hired by the (union) local of
ficers by orders of the Communist
Party.”
The three ousted union members
were Gustave Holmstrom, Samuei
Wolfson and Anthony Bucceri.
Mr. Schoff testified he believe;
the majority of union members al
Bloomingdale's "are good Ameri
! cans.”
I Representative Lesinski. Democrat
; of Michigan asked him why the
members voted for left-wing leaders
I ”1 don't think they have been toe
i concerned about the politics of theii
leaders as long as they did a good
job for the union," Mr. Schoff
replied.
“I don’t understand that," Mr.
| Lesinski said. “They should turn out
1 the rats just as the left - \vi- _,?rs
would do to them if they got the
| chance."
! Mr. Schoff refused to name any
union leaders whom h^ think.; are
i Communists or follow Communist
! instructions.
Chairman Hartley of the full
House Labor Committee appealed,
meanwhile, to American workers to
“come forward" and tell Congress
what they know about Communist
labor leaders. He promised full pro
tection to those who testify.
Communist Plan Is to Stir
Unrest, Newell Tells Group
The Communist plan is to stir up
unrest in this country, the River Ter
race Citizens’ Association was told
[ last night by Clifford J. Newell, past
president of the Federation of Cit
izens’ Associations.
! “The Negroes are influenced by
| groups that are not friends of this
Nation," Mr. Newell added.
“Segregation is not the cause of
racial tension." he asserted, “it is
the result of racial tension. Until
the attitudes of both of people
j change, the safest course is to prac
tice segregation ’’
Mr. Newell appeared at the meet
j ing to explain his “option plan" to
replace property covenants, which
recently were held to be unenforce
able in a Supreme Court ruling.
The association reiterated its stand
^against the fare increase asked by
Capital Transit Co. Edward S.
Rothschild and Robert Tibbetts were
i appointed to represent the associa
tion at the Public Utilities Com
mission hearing on the company's
petition.
Mrs. Arliss A. Davis, chairman of
the Education Committee, made a
report on the committee's progress
in obtaining a school for the area.
The meeting, conducted by Mr.
Tibbetts, vice president, was held in
the River Terrace Church, Anacostia
avenue and Clay street N.E.
Rent Hardship Rules Eased
For Small Landlords
By the Associated Press
Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods
has made it easier for small land
lords (with not more than four
rental dwelling units) to obtain
"hardship adjustment” of rents.
Another change in regulations
provides that no landlord need
operate at a loss under rent control.
Both changes become effective
July 10.
"These changes will, I believe,
remove many of the complaints
against the adjustment provisions
! that some landlords have made in
the past,” Mr. Woods said in a
statement.
Small landlords will be permitted
to use a simplified form in applying
for a hardship adjustment. The
only records they need to show a
decrease in net income are tax
receipts, insurance premium notices
and fuel and utility bills. Mr. Woods
eliminated a requirement that they
produce records or accounts to sup
port a claim of increased operating
costs. Some small landlords did not
keep sufficient records to qualily for
an adjustment, Mr. Woods said.
Any landlord who believes his
property is being operated at a loss
may petition the area rent office for
an increase. He must show total
income and total operating expenses
for the current year.
