Teegarden. general counsel Of the
United States Wholesale Grocers' Asso-
citation. but ended in a clash between
Representatives Ramsay. Democrat. of
West Virginia and Lloyd, Democrat.
of Washington.
Teegarden had charged that the
chain store association had subsidized
the National American Wholesale
Grocers Association and offered cor
respondence between the two organiza-
tions to prove his contention. These
two associations are against the
Patman bill.
Says Files Looted.
After the letters we're offered Logan
told the committee that they had been
taken from his private files at the
request of Representative Patman who
is chairman of a special chain store
lobbying committee and given to the
rival organizations.

we're they going to use this money!"
II don't know" Logan answered.
"Who paid for the dinner?" Lloyd
asked
Il presume the United States Whole

GERS" Representative Ramsay inter
rupted with the question:
What has that to do with this bill?"
1T has a lot to do with it," Lloyd

Appointment of John H. Shaw, New
York importer and exporter, as the
American diplomatic representative OF
Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia was
reported today In usually reliable
quarters.
While State Department officials
would make no comment on the re.
ports that Shaw has been selected as
Ethiopian consul general in New York
and that nations only envoy in this
country, authoritative sources revealed
his appointment had been under con-
sideration since last January, when he
visited Adds Ababa.
1t was predicted that the State
Department, following precedent would
recognize Shaw as Ethiopia's accredit-
ed representative, but that since he is
an American citizen, he will not be
listed in the official diplomatic blue
book or granted diplomatic immunity
Ethiopia never has maintained a
diplomatic representative in this coun-
try, all questions between the two
nations having been handled through
