Hope Diamond
Heiress Dies
WASHINGTON M5) Mrs. Ev-
ter oi ivirs. jcvaxyn waisn iviciean
and wife of former U.S. Senator
Robert R. Reynolds of North Car
olina, was found dead ir. her bed
room late Friday.
The body was found beside a
switched-on radio by the family
physician, Dr. B. W. Leonard, who
told investi&ators that death may
have been caused by an accidental
overdose of sleeping pills.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdon
ald deferred issuing a death cer
tificate, however, until he has
made a further examination.
Teste To Be Taken
In a temporary finding, the
coroner attributed death to "acute
congestive heart failure." He said
chemical tests will be made to
determine if a bottle of sleeping
pills found near the body had any
connection with the case.
Dr. Leonard had called at the
family home, "Friendship," to
treat Jvlrs. McLean, owner of the
famous Hope diamond who was
operated on recently for a knee
injury.
The physician went to Mrs.
Reynolds' room when her m-ithpr
was unable to raise her on the
mansion's interphone system.
In 111 Health
The dead heiress, who had been
li; ill health for some time," was
tl daughter of the late Edward
Beale McLean, Washington pub
lisher, and granddaughter of
Thomas F. Walsh, Colorado mil
lionaire. She married Reynolds, then 57
years old chairman of trie Senate
Military Committee, in 1941. They
have a daughter, Mamie Spears
Reynolds, who will be four on !
Sept. 30.
Reynolds, who dropped out of
the Senate in 1944, was at his farm
at La Plata, Md., when his wife's
body was found.
Mrs. McLean has always dis
counted the popular belief that ill
fortune stems from the $2,000,000
blue-white Hope diamond, once
owned by Catherine the Great of
Russia.

Mew Type Atom Smasher,
Bigger Than Ever, Reported
NEW YORK (U.B Construction of new type atom
machines, with even more powerful devices to come in the
future, was reported Saturday at the annual meeting of the Amer
ican Physical Society.
These new machines, designed
to accelerate 70,000,000 to 300,
000,000 electronic volts, will be
used in scientific research into the
further possibilities of harnessing
power from the universe, particu
larly from the cosmic rays.
The most powerful new ma

being constructed at Berkeley,

Joseph Curran, president of the
National Maritime Union, sa;d
that the nation's costliest sea stop,

depended on acceptance of the
settlement by all seamen involved.
The NMU said members in New

British Guest
Fails in Voting
PARIS OP) British demands
for specific treaty safeguards for
foreign petroleum interests in
Romania snagged on a tie vote,
7 to 7, in the peace conference's
Balkan economic commission Sat
urday. The r e su 1 1 1 n g parliamentary
tangle caused the American dele
gate, Senator Arthur Vandenberg,
to declare "this procedure has
been fantastic."
Earlier, the Italian political and
territorial commission approved
13 to 6 the separate agreement be
tween Italy and Austria for con
siderable autonomy rights in the
Tyrol, and ordered it inserted in
the Italian peace treaty over' the
objections of the Slav bloc.
Local Autonomy
Under the agreement, which was
signed here recently by Austrian
Foreign Minister Karl Gruber and
Italian Premier Alcide De Gasperi,
Italy' granted local autonomy to
German-speaking residents of the
South Tyrol, guaranteed the right
to speak the Tyrolese language
and pledged thai German-speaking
persons would have equal op
portunity to hold public office.
The two nations also promised
to work out mutually satisfactory
rail, transit and trade facilities.

State Restaurants Will

PORTLAND OP) Oregon

attended a mass meeting here and
voted to ignore the OPA-ordered

Some 250 restaurateurs from as

Meantime shipping remained at

There was no accurate count of

Coast Problem Baffling
A Maritime Commission order,
aimed at equalizing pay for AFL
and CIO seamen on both coasts
under an award of Arbitrator
James L. Fly, settled the east
coast dispute but PASA officials
said its provisions on the west
coast proved baffling. They said
some west coast categories did
not even exist on the east coast
and that in others, such as the
electricians, the formula meant
cuts on the Pacific side. .

Food Retailers
Are Convicted
DANVILLE, 111. OP) The huge
A k P food chain, one of the
world's largest, 12 of its subsidi
aries and 16 of its officers were
convicted Saturday of violating
the federal anti-trust law.
The defendants, including John
A. and George L. Hartford, chiefs
of the nationwide network of re
tail .outlets and affiliated opera
tions, were found guilty by Fed
eral Judge Walter C. Lindley on
both counts of a criminal infor
mation.
Trade Restrained
They were found to have con
spired to restrain trade in food
products and "to monopolize n
substantial part of such products
in interstate commerce." The
maximum penally for each de
fendant would be a $5000 fine and
a one-year prison sentence or
each of the two counts.
A it P immediately announced
it would tppeal, saying "We can
not conceive of this decision be
ing upheld by an appellate lourl
for we believe it to be in direct
conflict with the facts of the iwse
and the letter and spirit of the
Sherman (a'lti-uust) Act."
Food Retail Controlled
The government in bringing the
charges against A & P, contended
that the rammed organization
conspired to control "a substantial
part of the ford business of the
United States." This was done,
the government set forth, through
these means:
