Aff? I Tlll - UITICIdl ICIIS Of Overpay On Contract WASHINGTON, July 10 W Undersecretary o( War Kenneth C. Royall expressed belief today the government paid Sl.000,000 too much to a munitions firm and stands a dim chance of get ting It back. His view was In a letter In which ho asked a justice depart ment investigation of what he called an overpayment to the BBtavia Metal Products com pany. Royall said the govern ment originally made advance payments of $4,500,000 to Ba tavia for war contracts. After mentioning the sum now due as 1.000,000. Royall com mented: "There is doubt as to whether the company Is in such financial condition as to enable the government to recover this amount." , Royall told the senate war in vestigating committee that he also had asked Attorney General Tom Clark to inquire into the earnings and costs of the Erie Basin Metal Products Co. This is an affiliate of Batavia; the two are part of an Illinois munitions combine the committee is inves tigating. Tentative Offer Mad Rovall later testified that Ba tavia' had offered to make good on the overpayment, at a rate of $140,000 down once agree ment was reached and $50,000 a month thereafter. He said it was a tentative offer, and one that has not been accepted, for a total payment of $959,855.69. A reference to the offer was contained In a letter to Royall from Theron L. Caudle, assist ant attorney general, which said that its acceptance might make prosecution of any "criminal" case against Batavia more dif ficult Caudle's letter, dated June 18, said the justice department's in vestigation was "not sufficient ly complete" for it to express any opinion "as to whether a criminal case will- develop." Royall's disclosure came after he had testified earlier that Rep. May (D-Ky), chairman of the house military committee, has attributed to him responsibility for an investigation of the Ken tucky congressman's relation with Erie. Classified Ads Bring Results.

NEW YORK, July 10 fP The United Nations secretariat was confronted today with the probable necessity of reshuffling its manifold arrangements for the general assembly meeting here in September to avoid a conflict in dates with the Paris peace conference. The Big Four foreign minis ters in Paris decided yesterday to ask the U. N. to postpone the assembly session from Sept. 3 to Sept 23 because of the probabil ity that the peace conference will be in session on the earlier date. The shift would involve a re arrangement of living quarters for some 5000 persons a prob lem complicated by the acute housing shortage and the fact that October is one of the two busiest convention months in New York. It also would disrupt the tim- jing of security council actions, I such as the deadline for receipt land consideration of new mem bership applications, which had been pegged on the assumption that the assembly would meet Sept. 3. Extraordinary procedures will have to be adopted to permit a postponement, a United Nations spokesman said. These probably would involve circularizing the 151 member nations for their ap j proval.

Reds Believed To Hold Yanks BERLIN, July 10 (JP) An American intelligence officer said today the four Americans who disappeared in the Russian occupation zone last week were believed held at Oranienburg, a Soviet provincial headquarters north of Berlin. Indications were that Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, U. S. com mander in Europe, might inter vene since security authorities have been unable to secure defi nite information from the Rus sians. McNarney was here for an allied control council meeting. The four, believed accused of making unauthorized entries in to the Russian zone, were War rant Officer and Mrs. Samuel P. Harrison of San Antonio, Texas; Capt Harold Cobin of New York and Newark, N. J., and Lt. George Wyatt of Okla homa City. Truman Mourns Hillman's Death WASHINGTON, July 10 JP President Truman said today the cause of democracy had lost "one of its most effective and devoted exponents" in the death of Sidney Hillman, head of CIO's Political Action commit tee. CIO President Philip Mur ray, long-time partner of Hill man in labor union and politi cal fields, mourned Hillman's death as "the passing of a great man."

Ore., July 10(1 Declaring that "the law Is not concerned with trifles." Circuit Judtie Carl E. Wimberly today ordered dismissal of triple dum age suits brought by the OPA attuinst Palmer's grocery and In scho's Drive-In market, both of Roseburg. The complaint against Palmer's grocery alleged an overcharge of five cents and de manded damages in the sum of 15 cents. The complaint against the Drive-In market charged IS cents overcharge and sought 39 cents in dumuges. Also dismissed were com plaints seeking injunctive relief against Palmer's grocery, Wally's grocery, Frank's grocery and the tnscho market. Dismissal was or dered on the grounds that thr emergency control act of 1942 had expired. "A Jury trial costs Douglas county a minimum of $125" Judge Wimberly commonted. "and I do not feel Justified in imposing such costs to collect the trifling sums of 13 and 39 cents." Russian Veto Strikes Again NEW YORK, July 10 (P) Soviet Russia invoked the veto today for the sixth time in se curity council history in an ef fort to block a move for Cana da to participate in council dis cussions on atomic energy. The council became Involved in a dispute when Dr. Herbert V. Evatt of Australia offered a resolution to permit Canada, a member of the atomic energy commission, to sit in on council discussions of atomic energy. Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet delegate. Immediately objected, saying this proposal raised new questions and suggested post ponement. ' However, the council voted 9 to 1 with Russia casting the dissenting vote to admit Can ada to the discussions on atomic questions. Poland abstained.. Gromyko then said his nega tive vote was a veto. Gromyko contended the mat ter was a question of substance, on which the veto power ap plies, and as such it was lost. Dr. Francisco Castillo Najera of Mexico, council chairman, however, ruled it was a ques tion of procedure, on which the veto right does not apply, and invited Gen. A. G. L. McNaugh ton, Canadian representative on the atomic energy commission, to sit at the table. Garment Price Controls Off WASHINGTON, July 10 .P Sniping the last price control threat on clothing, the govern ment today pinned ita inexpen sive garment hopes on industry competition. In cutting the threat, Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small expressed the belief that rivalry among clothing manufacturers will serve to hold their prices in line. The only clothing price curb left after OPA died July 1 was knocked out last night when Small announced that CPA will continue to allocate a big sup ply of cloth for garments that should sell at low or moderate prices but the agency no longer will see that they do. CPA announced no reason for this, but officials who asked to remain anonymous attributed the action to the Moore amend ment to the second war powers act, a law which 10 days ago was continued until next March 31. Under the old set-up, CPA helped, garment makers obtain fabric only if they agreed to sell clothes at or under certain wholesale prices. Retail ceilings were fixed by OPA. Under the new CPA regula tion, manufacturers may use priority fabric only In types of inexpensive clothing which pre viously sold at specified OPA ceilings. Thus they have to make the same kind of clothing they did before, but there are no strings on prices.
