National Association of Manufac

from the association today a. re
ply that Its public information pro

port "are examples, of the assaults

In Its report;' the senate com

It declared the association's op

In 1937 and that expenditures had
been increasing since 1933.
Asserting, most of the money
came from "an inner clique" of
big corporations, the, .report said
the association was ' rebicle for
spending corporate funds" to in

The association issued a reply
which said facts brought out in
hearings before the committee
- "are sufficient answer to the issue
of half-truths and Innuendo now
offered by, the two senators (La

of public funds."
"Business is harassed constant

gard of the very civil rights to
which the senate subcommittee's
name pays eloquent but meaning
less Hp service."

Stolen Painting "L'Indifferent" Is
Returned to Louvre by Artist Who
Took It to "Restore It to Glory"
PARIS, Aug. 14 (AP) A young Russian artist today
restored the world-famed Watteau painting L Indifferent
which he told startled police he took from the Louvre "only
so that I could restore it to its
Despite changes which the
sky had made in the $200,000
17th century, officials of the
French national museums unhes
itatingly pronounced the tiny pic
ture genuine.
It was identified by Hern!
Verne, director of all French state
museums, and Jacques Jaujard,
assistant director, who had con
ducted the search since the ten by
eight inch portrait was stolen last
June 11.
Bogousslavsky, a slim youth.
Lunshaven and poorly dressed, told
police he had long been "disgust
ed with the way museum offi
cials touched up (restore) great
masterpieces."
"Watteau has always been my
favorite master and L'Indifferent
my favorite painting," he said,
"I could not stand to see it in
that condition any longer bo I
simply took it home with me.
"There (a bare garret studio)
I restored It to its original glory."
His eyes flashing, the young
Russian pointed to the left border.
"Look there," he exclaimed,
"where I cleaned away the tar.
It disclosed a trulyethereal green
foliage."
Bogousslavsky said that he aad
originally planned to return the
painting to the Louvre with a
book he had written protesting
"the way old masters are mis
treated" and commit suicide
there.
Friends, however, dissuaded
him, he said, and he walked Into
police headquarters this afternoon
accompanied by two lawyers.
The picture was wrapped in a
newspaper under his arm.

Squalus Salvage
Proceeds Slowly
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Aug. 14
(vP) Navy men took every advan
tage today of the comparatively
few good diving hours offered by
an unruly ocean to press prepara
tions for lifting the sunken sub
marine Squalus on Wednesday or
Thursday from a hitherto unchart
ed mudbank to shallower water
the second operation in a carefully
laid out salvage plan.
The vessel was raised 80 feet
from the ocean floor last Saturday
and towed slowly shoreward to
within 400 yards of the goal set
for the first lift before it ground
ed. As the preliminaries to the sec
ond lift were hurried 14 miles off
this port, workers at Portsmouth
navy yard prepared for tomor
row's launching of the submer
sible Seawolf, similar in design
and size to the unlucky Squalus.
At the salvage scene divers work
ed today on reslnking the Squalus'
bow pontoons. The next steps were
the sinking of the three stern
drums, then an inspection of the
work and again the order to
"blow and tow."

Capital Attack
Nears Success
Mobile Regulars Strike
Swiftly at Defenders
of Washington 1 '
' By RICE TAHNKR
MANASSA, Va.. Aug. 14.-iiP)-A
mechanized division of regular
troops, seeking to capture. the na
tion's capital from a national
guard force three times Its size,
struck tike a backfleld of triple
threat men today and backed the
defenders against their supply
bases.
After an armistice had halted
the day's mock warfare, the na
tional guard divisions were or
dered reshuffled and put in new
positions for a night defense of
Washington.
Only one effective blow a
comparatively light one was
struck by the guardsmen In the
first six hours of the maneuvers
that brought 23,000 men into ac
tion on a 50,000-acre battlefield.
Like Jackson's raid against
Pope's headquarters in the second
battle of Manassas, a sortie by
regular cavalry troops had cap
tured a brigade headquarters.
A successful counter-attack was
made by a hastily-organized "fly
ing battalion" of 350 riflemen and
50 machine guns, traveling In
trucks.
In the first few hours of fight
ing the invading "Black" army
pushed its infantry and cavalry
1,000 yards into the defending
"Blue" lines.
The invaders' 55-mile-an-hour
tanks and armored cars drove
three miles into the enemy's po
sition, capturing the engineering
detachment, an artillery battery
(four guns) and an infantry bat
talion (350 men).
