sent the New England hurricane
along with him so he wouldn't
feel homesick, Father Ernest

oriental weather conditions, was
in Washington today looking over
the Naval Observatory's equip
ment and comparing it with the
lcontrivances at his disposal as
chief meterologist at Zi-Ka-We1
Observatory, near Shanghai.
Father Gherzi, genial of manner
and pointed of beard, arrived here
last night as the guest of George
town University. En- route to New

G.N.S) A special engineering
commission today recommended
PWA approval Of Chicago's $32.-
100000 subway program, with ex-

time submitted a second subway
program, more extensive than the
original proposal.

stead of open cut.
2. Extension of the subway
several miles further north and
west.
3. Entire project should be
rapid transit.
4. Elimination of proposed
trolley car tunnel.

gineers appointed by Ickes said
the proposed subway could be built
within provisions in the PWA act,
which provides that all construc.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a Q.N.S0.
Hard on the heels Of indictment
of nine men in the electrical con-
tracing industry, District Attor-
ney Dewey's office today turned
its searchlight on alleged price
rigging" in other branches Of the
construction trades.

reau, is said to have gathered in
formation that various contract
ors got together and agreed on
prices in competitive contract
bids.
Those participating in such
price-fixing rotate jobs, it was de-
clared. Each contractor, in turn,
submits an agreed-upon low bid.
Officials indicated that the
"price-rigging" program extended
through the plumbing and build

group of important firms were
able to freeze out" smaller

Noted Judge Here:
PECORA TALKS
TO SCRIBES, BUT
SAYS NOTHING
That Is, He's Not What
You'd Call Loquacious

Judge Ferdinand Pecora took
an hour for shower this morning
and then affably spent nearly an
other hour parrying questions OF
Washington reporters about the
James j. Hines trial, his aspira-
tions to be a justice of the Su'
preme Court, and sundry other
questions.
Emerging rosy and fit from his
morning spray, the celebrated
judge in the Hines trial and
earlier hero of a Senate stock
market probe, said he came to
town to attend the meeting OF the
executive committee Of the Ma.
tional Lawyers Guild. He is
president of the Guild.
MATTER OF SENTENCE
"Any layman ought to know
las the convicting judge
have the sole power to sentence
the co-defendants in the Hines
case" said Judge Pecora in
answer to a question concern
ing a move to have another
Judge sentence the co-defend-
ants.
About the war situation in
Europe, about the successor to
Justice Cardozo on the nations
highest law tribunal, and about
other current "hot" matters, JUS
tice Pecora could not be drawn out.
But, he did say that the "blue
ribbon" jury which sat in the
trial Of Hines might have drawn
an extra dollar or so, if he hadn't
ruled a mistrial on the basis of a
question asked by District Attor.
ney Thomas Dewey.
They had served 20 days."

Justice Pecora revealed he had
received a large volume of cor
respondence complimenting him
on his decision to declare a mis-
trial in the Hines case. Outstand-
ing lawyers and law schol pro-
fesSors were represented among
his correspondents, he said.
