aimed like the others at a push-but
ton electric wall switch six feet
away - - scored a bullseye, shut
ting off the power and stopping
the rollers.
Maiden hospital authorities re
ported Ross as "comfortable" to

chance of recovery without am

ed to George "just for a minute
at the hospital.
"He said he thought he got caught
about three o clock but he; fainted
and doesn't remember."

Butler said the engineer had
twisted to support himself with
one hand on the floor whije with
the other he hurled tin cans in

recently installed to move objects
from floor to floor of the plant.

shouts but was unable to get into
the . factory.
nescuers worked for half an

The flier's condition tonight was

Woe Heard
By Patterson !
(Story Also on Page 1) - :
WASHINGTON, July -(JP-Secretary
of War Patterson today
testified that he listened to com
plaints of Rep. May (D-Ky) con
cern i n g the Illinois munitions
makers' troubles during the war.
He acknowledged that May
had; complained to him over a
war: production board order halt
ing work on a contract held by
Batavia Metal Products company,
another of the associated firms,
and? that he had a subordinate
look into It.
He declared that he had in
tervened with the war manpower
commission to obtain additional
labor for Batavia, emphasizlnf
this was don only to get shells
for a mounting offensive In Eur
ope. .
He denied that May had asked
him for, or that he had ordered,
award of a big shell contract to
Batavia. He termed this "idle
gossip and utterly untrue.
E-Award Approved
Patterson stated that he had
approved an army-navy -a.
award for Batavia about wmcn
May had inquired. He insisted
that he did so only after subor
dinates informed him that Bata
via had exceeded production
schedules.
"I am not in the business of
doing favors for anyone, Patter-f.
son told the committee sharply at
one point.
Committee members focused
chief attention upon an order
freezing payments to Erie Basin
issued over Pattersons signature
on Sept. .6, 1945.
George H. Knutson, a member
of the war department price ad
justment board, testified earlier in
the day that the order originally
froze all of the Drofits. but was
modified a week later to permit
payment of $723,000. Knutson said
the modified order was designed
to cover repayment of $800,000
which the government expected to
collect through renegotiation and
$974,000 which the government
had advanced to Erie.
Phone Talk Introduced
Senator Mitchell (D-Wash) read
nto the record a transcript of a
telephone conversation between
Henry Garsson, Batavia official
and Col. Maurice Hirsch of the
war department .general staff corps
referring to the- freeze order In
yvhich Garsson repeatedly men
tioned his conversation with Pat
terson.
Patterson said that a "few days'
after Issuance of the original freeze
order, May, chairman of the in
fluential house military commit
tee, telephoned asking him to come
to his office and he did so. Patter
son then was undersecretary or
war in charge of production.
He related that he met two men,
neither of whom he could idenT
tffy, in May's Office. He expressed
belief that one of them might have
been Henry Garsson, who has been
described by army officers a the
'brain" behind development of the
Illinois combine.
Patterson said that May him
self "didn't have much to say
bout : the freeze order, but that
the two men claimed that it would
prevent them from getting into
civilian production."

Thomas Edison's Long-Locked
Roll-Top Desk
WEST ORANGE, N. J- July 9.
(TP) The heavy, roll-top desk at
which Thomas Alva Edison
worked, sealed sine the Inven
tor's death in 1931, is to be open
ad in a few weeks.
The twin locks on the old
fashioned desk were turned 15
years ago by members of Edi
son's family, and the notes and
records the inventor was working
on at his death have lain undis
turbed. The new Thomas Alva Edi

to open the desk and examine
its hoard of documents. There

Portland Food
Mart Pickets
To Start Walk
PORTLAND, Ore., July 9.-(P)-
Picketing of food markets here
where prices have been raised
"excessively" will begin Thursday
morning, the Portland anti-inflation
committee announced tonight.
Leroy Hersh, chairman of the
group sponsored by the' American
veterans committee and support
ed by vote of the CIO industrial
union council tonight, said a mass
meeting also would be held here
Friday night to organize opposi
tion to higher prices.
Ron Roley, president of the CIO
union council, declared the union
would urge voters to "get a new
line-up in congress," and said con
gressmen who have helped scuttle
price control have "double-cross
ed American workingmen by em
asculating the one bulwark against
Inflation."
Meat Drop by
Fall Predicted
WASHINGTON, July 9 -AJT)-The
agriculture department said,
today retail meat prices would
be likely to settle down by fall to
an average of 15 to 20 per cent
above former OPA ceilings if
price controls are not reestab
lished. Critics of the OPA have con
tended that black market prices
of meats were in many cases as
much as 50 per cent above ceil
ings in effect before the price
agency expired June 10.
Tending to bring prices down
would be the increased market
ings of cattle and hogs in the fall
marketings which normally reach
a peak in mid-winter.

Big 4 Clash on
Disarmament
Treaty Plan
By Joseph Dyaaa
PARIS. July 9 -oP- Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov and Secre
tary of State James F. Byrnes
clashed today over America's pro
posed 25-year German disarma
ment treaty, informants reported.
Byrnes asked that the special
deputies be named now to con
sider all phases of the German
problem for a report to the next
series, of meetings by the four
power foreign ministers, presum
ably next autumn. French and
American Informants said there
was no Immediate rnponw from
the other ministers.
In the course of an hour-long
statement assailing this American
proposal, Molotov today accused
Britain, France and the United
States of breaking the Potsdam
accord on German reparations to
the Soviet Union.
According to American infor
mants, Molotov also branded the
suggested 25-year treaty to pre
vent rearmament of the Reich as
wholly inadequate." The Byrnes
proposal does not guarantee de
militarization of German war in
dustry or the political denazifi
cation of the Reich, the Soviet
foreign minister said. Molotov
added that it would not insure
against a rebirth of a spirit of
aggression in Germany. Molotov
said, such a treaty to be effective
should be in force for at least
40 years.
In reply Byrnes accused Rus
sia of violating the Potsdam ac
cord by making levies which were
too large on German industry. He
pointed out that under the Pots
dam agreement reparations weie j
to be limited to a size which i
would permit Germany to exist
without outside help. j
Meanwhile, the French gvrrn- ,
merit issued formal in itautxis to .
17 other allied nations for the
general European peace confer
ence here July 29, and the minis
ters asked the United Nations tn
postpone its general assembly sea- '
son in New Yolk until Sept 23'
to allow Ume for diplomats to at- (
tend the Paris conference. '
