Senators Delay Action On Arms Aid Bill to Let AdmiralBadgerTestify By J. A. O'Leary Action on the administration’s $1,450,000,000 foreign arms bill was put off today until next week to enable the two Senate commit tees handling it to hear Vice Ad miral Oscar Badger on conditions in Asia. Admiral Badger, who has been Asiatic fleet commander, is en route home and probably will be called before the two committees in closed session a week from to day. When the Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees met this morning they had expected to act on a compromise amend ment fixing the arms fund for Western Europe at $1,000,000,000, a reduction of $160,990,000 from the administration’s figure. No Vote Is Taken. Chairman Connally explained, however, that while the compro mise was “very favorably re ceived,” no vote was taken. Some committee members, in cluding Senator George, Demo crat, of Georgia favor a deeper cut, and action on the whole sub ject was put off until next week. The presence of Admiral Badger is desired by a group of Senators who want some military help for non-Communist China added to the bill. This group is led by Sen ator Knowland, Republican, of California. They argue it is in consistent arm Western Europe against the spread of communism without doing something to check it in Asia. Subcommittee Agrees. A four-man subcommittee was reliably reported to have agreed late yesterday to the Vandenberg Dulles proposal to cut $160,990,000 from the Western European fund, leaving it at $1,000,000,000. Of this amount, half would be cash for the current year and half con tract authority, payable in 1951. If the 25 Senators comprising the two committees agree on $1, 000,000,000 for Western Europe it will be a partial victory for the administration, because there are several committee members who want to cut much deeper. Senator George may offer an amendment to allow only $300, 00,000 instead of $500,000,000 in cash for the current year. He is likely to fail in committee, but on the floor of the Senate there will be another fight to cut the pro gram as deeply as the House did. War Factory Decision Awaited. Both houses are going along on other sections of the bill, provid ing $211,370,000 for Greece and Turkey, and $27,640,000 for Iran, Korea and* the Philippines. It was not clear today what compromise the two Senate com mittees will work out on the con troversial question of spending $155,000,000 of the European al lotment to reopen war factories overseas. When Senators Vandenberg and Dulles, the leading Republican advocates of bipartisan foreign i policy, proposed to cut the Euro pean allotment from $1,160,990, 000 to an even $1,000,000,000, their main purpose was to eliminate the sum earmarked for rehabilitating munitions plants in France and other North Atlantic treaty na tions.' Their argument was that this step should not be taken by the single action of the United States before the Joint Defense Committee is set up under the treaty. Plan May be Modified. Two days ago the committee voted, 11 to 9, to- let tools and raw materials be shipped abfoad for use in overseas arms factories, which meant defeat of part of the Vandenberg-Dulles program. There were signs yesterday, however, that the committee might modify this decision, rather than go to the Senate with its members so sharply divided. Close ob servers of the situation believe the administration will need the full suport of the Vandenberg Dulles group of Republicans to 6ave the arms bill from further cuts on the floor. Mount Rainier Man Kills Self With Gun Russell M. Shillingsburg, 46, of 4215 Rainier avenue, Mount Rain ier,, was found dead yesterday in hi? bedroom with a bullet wound in the head. Dr. John T. Maloney, Prince Georges County medical examin er, issued a suicide certificate.

They said he had been unemployed since his injury until last Wed nesday, when he obtained a job as a guard at the National Gallery of Art. According to police, the body was found by Mrs. Angelea Haines, wif? of Mr. Shillingsburg’s neph ew-, who lives on the first floor of the home. They said Mrs. Haines had gone upstairs at the request of :Mrs. Shillingsburg, a Veterans’ Administration employe, whose phone calls to her husband had gone unanswered.

Mara (left), assistant military aide to President Truman, took the stand briefly at the five-percenter inquiry today and backed up testimony of his chief, Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan (right) that the latter was cleared of bribery charges. —Star Staff Photo. Partial Transcript of Vaughan Testimony By tht Associated Press A partial transcript of Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan’s sec ond-day testimony in the Sen ate five-percenter investigation: Senator Hoey—Who wishes ti6 begin? Senator McCarthy—I do. Gen eral, yesterday we were talking about a man called Costello. Vaughan—Yes. McCarthy—I guess we both know what fellow we are speaking of. Jugt refresh your mind a little more on the subject. Cos tello, according to the New York Liquor Board, is a partner in the Whitely Corp, a partner with Phil Kastel and William Hells. You are aware of that, are you not? Vaughan—No, I was not. McCarthy—Mr. Maragon testi fied he worked Vaughan—What business? What company? McCarthy—The liquor business. Vaughan—Oh, no, I wasn’t con scious of Mr. Hells being in the liquor business. I know he was in the oil business and he owns this— McCarthy—Did you not know the Whitely Corp.? Vaughan—No, I don’t believe I do. I don’t recognize it. Links Helis and Costello. McCarthy—That is the corpo ration owned by Phil Kastel, Bill Helis, and Frankie Costello, and they are in the liquor business. Have you discussed that matter ever with either Bill Hells or Frankie Costello? N Vaughan—I have never dis cussed anything with Frankie Cos tello to my knowledge. McCarthy—Did you ever discuss it with William Helis? Vaughan—No, I don’t recall. I didn’t know that Bill Helis was in the liquor business. I thought he was in the oil business and in this large farm that he has over here, I believe in New Jersey where he raises—a stock farm, I believe. McCarthy — Now, Mr. Maragon testified at the executive session that he at one time worked for Phil Kastel and then at the open session refused to answer any questions in regard to his em ployment on the ground that his answers .might incriminate him. Do you know anything about Mr. Maragon’s duties insofar as Phil Kastel was concerned—what he did for him, what type of work? Vaughan—I never knew he worked for Phil Kastel. I never knew Phil Kastel. Called Once for President. McCarthy—When grain was very short after the war, when meat was scarce, grain was being diverted to feeding of livestock. Are you aware of the fact that the distillers, the liquor dealers, were very active in attempting to have (more grain allocated to breweries and distillers of spirits. Vaughan—Well, I wasn’t aware of that, that I remember. It is the logical thing for them to do, I should think. McCarthy—Did you ever con tact the Agricultural Department in behalf of the distillers, Schen ley’s—let me call your attention to especially Schenley’s and Mr. Costello—Bill Helis’ corporation? Vaughan—I never contacted the Agricultural Department in behalf of the distillers. The only time I aver contacted the Agricultural Department was at the direction of the President. I called Mr. Anderson’s office for information which I gave to the President, and that was all I had to do with it. FBI Investigation. McCarthy. Do you know wheth |er you were accused by any one —let me put it this way—Mr. Maragon, during this particular time, during the period when grain, was very scarce, during the time it is alleged that you called Mr. Hathorn and applied pres sure in order to get more Igrain for the distillers, during that per iod of time was there an FBI in vestigation of you initiated? Vaughan. You started out your question with “Mr. Maragon.” Is this his testimony? McCarthy. Did I call you Mr. Maragon? i am sorry u i aia, it is completely unintentional, Mr. Vaughan,- general. Vaughan. You say that I called —exerted pressure? McCarthy. During the time— I am not asking you whether you exerted pressure. During the time it Is claimed you exerted pressure on behalf of the liquor dealers, distillers, to get more grain, dur ing the time it is claimed that you exerted that pressure, did the Justice Department order investi gation of you by the FBI.? Inquiries to White House. Vaughan—There was something in the papef that came out in one of the columns, that I had exerted pressure, but what I did was as I stated. Some inquiries come into the White House. It was not to get more grain. It was to prevent getting less, if I remember. McCarthy—Well, in any event, at that period of time, did Justice order an investigation of you by the FBI? Vaughan—There was a claim made to Justice some time before that—I am not sure as to the exact time, and the Attorney Gen eral referred it to J. Edgar Hoover. Mr. J. Edgar Hoover called me and told me about it, and I told him that I would co-operate com pletely with his men. He sent two men to my office who went through my financial! statements, they went through my j bank statement, went through my' safe deposit box. They went to New Orleans, they went to Kansas City, various other places that were mentioned in this allegation. McCarthy Presses Questions. McCarthy—Now one of the things they were investigating at that time—I am not asking you to tell us at this time whether it is true or not. I will go into that in a few minutes. One of the things they were investigating at that time was the claim that you had received money from the Schenley interests and from the Costello interests to exert pres sure upon the Agricultural De partment so as to get more grain for the liquor interests. Vaughan—I never heard of it. That was not what Mr. Hoover told me. McCarthy—Mr. Vaughan. I am going to tell you this as a preface to the next question: That if you do not give us this story as it actually was, I am going to have Mr. O’Mara sworn, who sits beside you, and find out what he knows about this. I know you do not want to put any of your friends in a po sition of perjuring himself. Was Mr. O’Mara over to the Justice Department within the last two or three weeks to get for you a com plete report on the basis for this FBI investigation? Vaughan—Yes, he was. McCarthy—He reported back to you? Vaughan—Yes. Didn’t Send O’Mara. McCarthy—He reported to you -that the thing was being investi gated was the claim that you took money from the Schenley inter ests and the Costello interests for your efforts to secure more grain for liquor distillers? Vaughan—No. He never report ed any such thing as that to me. McCarthy—Did he report back to you the basis for this investi gation? Vaughan—No, because I knew the basis of the investigation, the one that I knew about. McCarthy—What did you send him over to Justice for? Vaughan—I didn’t send him. He went entirely on his own. I just had to ask him now if he had been there. McCarthy—Did he come back and report to you? . Vaughan—He reported that he had been to justice. McCarthy—The Justice Depart ment did ask for a complete FBI investigation of you—right? Vaughan—At the request of this member of the press. McCarthy — You say Justice asked that uport the request of members of the press? Vaughan—That was my under standing. FTC Says District Firm Reissues U. S. Books ly th« Associated Press The Federal Trade Commission today charged a Washington pub lishing firm with putting new titles on Government pamphlets and then issuing them as new books. The commission also said the firm name—Public Affairs Press— is deceptive because it “represents or implies that the corporation is in some fashion connected with the United States Government.” The FTC gave the company, which is also known as the American Council of Public Af fairs, 20 days to answer the com plaint. The firm’s offices are at 2153 Florida avenue N.W. Morris B. Schnapper, executive secretary of the Public Affairs or ganization, said it is a privately owned concern which has been publishing books and pamphlets OB social science subjects here since 1938. Out of several hun dred items on the publication list, he said, perhaps a dozen or so are essentially reprints of Gov ernment documents. In most cases, he said, the Gov ernment agency putting out the material has encouraged its re use, at least informally, as a means of giving it wider circula tion. He added that if there are any cases where the source of in formation is not identified, the omissipn is unintentional.

No one was hurt. Supt. Clarence Louderback, 37, of the Genoa-Kingston School, was making a trip with some of his pupils to check the bus time schedule. Mr. Louderback said the driver, Maylon Davis, 28, stopped at a Milwaukee road . crossing in Genoa, then started up again. But the motor died, stalling the bus on the track.

Eight girls broke away last night after smashing two doors in the main dormitory. None had been found by 8tate police. Six of the escapees were in volved in the August 14 disorder which touched off a grand jury investigation and led to the in dictment of two former school officials on charges of mistreat ment of /teen-age inmates. During the rumpus two weeks ago.flve girls fled. All were round ed up within a few days and re turned to the reformatory, 16 miles southwest of Little Rock. Burmese Civil War Proving Big Boon to American Flyers fty th« Associated Press RANGOON, Burma, Aug. 31.— The Burmese civil war is proving a boon to former United States Army and Navy fliers here. These Americans are doing a good business chartering their air craft to the Burmese government for transport of soldiers, supplies and civil servants who otherwise would be grounded because of disrupted surface communica tions. The young businessmen earn their money,' though, dodging rebel bullets. Some of them have been captured (temporarily) by outlaws unexpectedly occupying airstripes in the hinterland after plane takeoffs from Rangoon. In Burma there is no radio communication between towns or sky-riding planes and their des tination point. This absence of radio produces another hazard for the American pilots—blind flying in a lashing monsoon. Some of the Americans, ex hump flyers, claim flying with out radio during the monsoon is much more hazardous than cross ing the hump between India and China. “Toughest flying in the world,” is the way they put it. Among the latest additions to the score of Amarican airmen criss-crossing the Burmese skies are 28-year-old Capt. Alfred R. Gibson of Indian Lake, Ohio, and J. F. Shoemaker of New York. With their partner Aw Haw, millionaire son of the Chinese business tycoon Aw Boon Haw, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Shoemaker brought in Air Carriers, Ltd., from Hong Kong on charter to the Burmese government. They were given a plush as signment. Their C-46 is used ex clusively by Kachin President Sinwa Duwa Sima Nawng for [flights to his remote territory in j the north of Burma where he is ! recruiting more Kachin soldiers | to join the Burmese army. Chief pilot of Air Carriers is jCapt. R. A. Stratford of Savan nah, Ga„ with Barney Kulhmeihr of Iowa as his co-pilot. An Aus tralian, George Birmingham, is the radio operator. The Gibson-Shoemaker outfit hopes to extend its service by bringing in three more planes. Their four-month-old operation so far has been fairly uneventful. In that, they are more fortu nate than Capt. Ladd Moor of Marshall, Tex., 34-year-old di rector of operations for Indonesia Airways. Capt. Moore, whose aircraft is under charter to the Burmese War Office for carrying troops and ammunition, has been hit three times while flying over rebel territory. He said his narrowest escape came when rebels occupying the North Burma army base Meiktila hit his ammunition-laden plane. “Actually,” he said, “I was due to land the stuff at Meiktila, Which was unable to warn Ran goon of the rebel attack. If only the rebels had held their Are. they would have captured me, my plane and the ammunition.” Traffic Accident Death Rate By Miles Hits New Low By the Associated Press CHIQAGO, Aug. 31.—The mile age death rate for the Nation's traffic accidents in the first half of 1949 hit an all-time low of 6.8. This milestone in traffic acci dent prevention was reported to day by the-National Safety Coun cil. It was the first time in the history of such record-keeping that the half-year rate has been less than seven deaths for each 100,000,000 miles of vehicular travel. "The goal set by President Tru man in 1946 is in sight.” the council president, Ned H. Dear born, said in a statement. “At that time he asked that the mile age death rate, then about 12 deaths per 100,000,000 miles, be cut in half.” The toll of actual deaths, how ever, rose slightly in July. The annual fight to make a gain in lives saved remains close. For July the death toll was "2,850, an increase of 2 per cent from the 2,790 July toll of 1948. July, January and April are the only months this year to record more deaths than last. At the end of seven months the 1949 death total was 16,540, still 1 per cent under the 16,700 count at the end of July, 1948.

Shippen, Jr, An optimistic crowd was back at the Senate Office Building again today, hoping to get a passing glimpse of Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan or an echo of the heated charges and counter-charges they had been led to expect. Yet the appearance of President Truman's military aide, contrary to the forecasts of some writers and radio commentators, has pro ceeded smoothly without so much as a voice raised in anger. The kind of recriminations tha', would crop up naturally in an at mosphere tense with political con flict have been conspicuously ab sent. The 56-year-old general and veteran of two World Wars ap peared to be taking the affair in his stride. One got the idea that the star witness was the calmest man in the small committeeroom jam packed to the walls with specta tors. , „ Maragon Not at Ease. It had been intimated by cor respondents who know him well that Gen. Vaughan might be goaded into returning the fire of his political enemies. So far he has failed to do so. He smokes his long, thin cigars, answers questions calmly and in a clear voice and falls back frequently upon the words “I can’t recall” when questions become too de tailed. The general’s friend—or pos sibly now his former friend—John Maragon, appeared somewhat less at ease although far from the spotlight in his position against i a back wall. The Greek-born businessman, j whom Gen. Vaughan described as a "Senate Office Building char acter” who doesn’t "reprimand easy,” apparently is worried by the trend of the investigation. Will Gen. Vaughan, the man who gave him friendly favors, in cluding letters of introduction on White House stationary, make no effort to keep him from being j thrown to the wolves? The United States Attorney's offidl and the Bureau of Internal Revenue are under orders to investigate his statements with a view to possible perjury and income tax evasion. Used Vaughan’s Phone. Mr. Maragon has been belittled in testimony as a “nuisance” to his State Department associates on a temporary assignment in Greece, and described by Gen. Vaughan as a man likely to take advantage of a friendship. ' One incident, the general said, occurred when he entered his of fice at the White House and heard his secretary hand the telephone to Maragon. It seemed Mr. Mara gon had called from the military aide’s office and left a message for the party to return the call to him there. Mr. Maragon was at first refused admittance yesterday. When al lowed to enter the committee room, he squeezed against a wall and remained there throughout the hearing. Press Tables Jammed. Mr. Maragon is * about Gen. Vaughan’s age. He has a bald head and prominent eyes. In happier days he displayed many of the characteristics of a Chamber of j Commerce greeter or a successful [politician whose hand-clasp was [ received without reservation by men who could further his pro l jects. Senators and their wives joined j the jam to gain entry to the committee room, with consider ably mor^ success than curious citizens without Capitol Hill cre dentials. The regular press, radio and camera men covering the three week hearing was reinforced by newcomers who competed for space at the already-packed press tables. Many brought their own small chairs, begged and borrowed from surrounding offices. The diffi culty was to find a place to set the chairs on the floor. Bolivian Government Retakes Cochabamba, Rebels' Stronghold By the Asiociatad Prut LA PAZ, Bolivia, Aug. 31.—The Cochabamba Radio reported that - government forces today recap tured that city,, which Rightist rebels had held since Saturday. Troops under Gen. Ovidio Qui roga took control of the rebel stronghold, 150 mlies southeast of La Paz, at 9 a.m., after four days of fighting, the radio announced. The general staff said last night that most of the resistance in the city of 90,000 population had been crushed, but that actual occupa tion would be delayed until today to avoid “probable disturbances.” Feeble Resistance Met. Confirming the radio report that Cochabamba wras recaptured, a | government announcement said jonly feeble resistance was en i countered when army troops en tered the city. About 2,000 government troops launched the Cochabamba at tack—first major battle with the rebels—after the state had called up all men 19 to 50 to quell the four-day-old revolt. The revolt is led by the Na tional Revolutionary Party (MNR) of the late President Gualberto Villaroel, who was hanged when his government was overthrown in 1946. (The Bolivian radio “Avaroa,” heard in Lima, said the rebel leaders fled by plane after the CochaDamba defeat. It said they were en route to Arequipa, Puu, in % commercial transport plrae of Lloyd Aero Boliviano.) One of 3 Vital Cities. Cochabamba was one of three important cities seized by the rebels in widespread uprisings Saturday in the Andes mountain tin-mining region. Observers said the fall of Cocha bamba isolates Santa Cruz, an other big town in rebel hands. It lies about 150 miles east of Cochabamba and gets its food and supplies over the railway from that town. Schools to Open Tuesday ORANGE, Va., Aug. 31 (Spe cial).—Orange County schools will open .

Ochs' Extradition Case Delayed Till Sept. 30 in Bladensburg Shooting A hearing on Prince Georges County’s request for the extradi tion of Samuel Ochs, 42, George town haberdasher accused of as sault with intent to kill, today was scheduled for September 30 in Municipal Court. The date was fixed by Judge Aubrey B, Fennell when Ochs ap peared for the first legal round in a cutting and shooting scrape which occurred early Friday morn ing at the Crossroads Restaurant, a Bladensburg night club. Ochs was arrested yesterday on a Prince Georges fugitive warrant charging him with shooting Ber nard Yorkie Del-Negro, indicted gambler who is a patient in the Prince Georges General Hospital, Cheverly. Ochs, himself, was hurt at the Crossroads and required hospital treatment. $1,500 Bond Continued. ’ His lawyers declared, today, i however, that Ochs was not even in the vicinity of the Crossroads at the time of the shooting. They said the shooting of Del-Negro occurred more than an hour after Ochs had been struck on the head by an unknown object. Previously, the police reported Ochs had been cut. Ochs appeared in court today wearing dark glasses. A stitch had been taken in his forehead above the left eye, which was black. Judge Fennell continued his bond at $1,500 pending the extradition hearing, which was delayed on re quest of the Government. Charles Walker and Charles Ford, lawyers for Ochs, told re porters their client is the real vic tim in the case. “He is the victim,” said Mr. Walker. “This must be a new sys tem of issuing warrants. Some body ‘phonied’ this warrant against Ochs, who is a legitimate ‘businessman. He Was stunned by | the blow on his head and did not see his assailant.” Ochs is the second man under arrest in the mysterious case, which was not made a matter of record by the county police until Saturday. The first is George Paul Harding, 38, of the 400 block of Massachusetts avenue N.W., who surrendered to detectives Monday afternoon, after he had been charged with shooting Del Negro ■Del-Negro has been placed under $300 bond to appear as a State’s witness against Harding. Ochs, a resident of the Hamil ; ton Hotel, is partner in a clothing store in the 3100 block of M street N.W. Arrest Deepens Mystery. His arrest served only to deepen the mystery surrounding the Bladensburg incident. | Policeman J. H. Burgess investi gated the shooting of Del-Negro i but made no report for more than 24 hours. Del-Negro was quoted as saying he was shot in the leg by an unknown person when he stopped to examine the motor of his automobile. Subsequently, District police in formed county authorities that' Ochs had been treated at a hos pital for cuts received at the restaurant. Eventually the shoot ing and the cutting were linked. Harding is under $1,100 bond to appear in Hyattsville Police Court September 19.
