"I don't know whether you could call it a bribe or not," said Gordon Cook, 28, a B-17 naviga tor in World War II. "I think they would have disqualified me anyway on physical grounds." Indictments Announced Cook, a lieutenant, is one of three reserve officers whose in-, dictment, along with that of the DruAanf hv nllpcnrllv hrihpH to nounced Thursday by a federal grand jury at Danville, 111. FOLKS WE VE WORKED FOR SAY THAT WE KNOW OUR BUSINESS THOROUGHLY The sergeant is MSgt. Luther R. Bradley, Staunton, 111., but Cook said he didn't know wheth er it was Bradley who accepted his $100. "My two-year-old son, Davis, was suffering from an asthmatic condition and needed constant care," Cook said. "My wife had just given birth to a second son. I wanted desperately to get home to them." "In wartime I'd gladly give my life but in peacetime my family comes before anything else." He said he was called up for his physical examination at Scott Air Force Base, 111., in July, 1951, and flunked all five parts of it. "The reviewing board asked If I wanted active duty and I said no, because of my family," Cook said. "They said they'd let me go. Then came three days of re checks. And they told me I might have to stay another two weeks for further tests. I thought I was getting the run-around." Cook said he kept badgering "anybody who would listen to me" until he was approached by an enlisted man who said, "I hate to see you get called back. I think we can fix you up. Of course,, there will be a fee." Cook said he wired home for the money and gave it to the man. He left the base after four days and later was notified he was physically disqualified for active duty. Indicted along with Cook and Bradley were Joseph A. Crowley of Indianapolis and Edward L, Kanick of Chicago.

Johnson, of the Senate Commerce Committee predicted Friday that the Sen ate will go slow in acting on the House-approved "fair trade" bill. The Colorado Democrat said he was "surprised" that such a "controversial" measure breezed through the House with so little opposition. More Consideration Seen "I'm sure the Senate will want to give It most careful consider ation," he told a reporter. The House passed the bill Thursday by a standing vote of 196 to 10. It would overturn a Supreme Court ruling handed down last year, and restore. the effectiveness of "fair trade" laws In 45 states. Agreements Provided The laws provide for manu facturers of brand-name pro ducts to enter Into price-fixing agreements with one or more retailers in each state. The mini mum retail price thus fixed be comes legally .binding on all other dealers in that state, whether they sign the agree ment or not. ReprEmanuel Celler, D-N. Y., who led the badly out-numbered House forces opposing the bill, said he is "certain" that Presi-' dent Truman will, veto it If it gets through the Senate.

Television Used To Study Plane Landings Washington U.R Washing ton's national airport is televis ing plane landings to see if tele vision can help make landings safer and speedier.
