Mr.. Friedman said he entered the
case when Martin H. Rutt, jr., a
civilian employe at the depot, was
brought before him on charges of
theft Of Government property.
Later, Mr.. Friedman said, F'BI and

the officers had "a signed confession

ment officials disclosed yesterday,

Sidney E. Friedman charged that

Mr.. Friedman said in a written
statement that he had reached IAN
almost inescapable conclusion that
the FBI and Naval Intelligence were
hamstrung when their investigation
revealed serious offenses which
might lead to higher-ups."
Justice Department officials at
Washington denied the investigation
had been hampered and explained
that considerable time was required
to obtain all the information de-
sired. A. A. Dobey, special assistant
to Attorney General Biddle, working
with the War Frauds Unit, has been
assigned to the case. cooperating
with Frederick v. Follmer, United

bs the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Dec. 4.-Attorney Gen.
eral Robert T. Bushnell today pos
sessed State chemists report that
burning imitation leather furnish
tngs produced a poisonous gas ir
the Cocoanut Grove Night Club fire
which took 491 lives.
The basic substance of the mate
rial was nitrous cellulose, chemical
composition which, when subjected
to intense heat, emits nitrous oxide
fumes, inhalation of which can be
deadly, the report said.
State investigators discussed also
that they we're carefully checking
a bundle of food and liquor checks
which they said had been charged
of by the management to promi-
nent guests. The bundle was found
unchanged after the fire.
The investigators added that the
checks identified the guests and
bore notations such as important" "
"a good friend" see me-" and will
ssttle later"
Nhe gas described by the chemists
is Essentially the same as that which
played part in the Cleveland clinic
fire in Cleveland on May Is, 1929,
when 124 persons lost their lives.
Fumes in the Cleveland disaster
were attributed, however, to burn
ing X-ray film.
Witnesses in a city inquest, being
conducted separately from the State
investigation, have testified that
the smoke in the Cocoanut Grove
holocaust Saturday night contained
an acidlike odor they were unable
to identify.
Medical examiners who conducted
autopsies on scores of the victims
expressed belief that there was
something poisonous in the smoke
besides carbon monoxide and flame.

WASHINGTON, July 16--An au-
thoritative source said today that
the War Labor Board has award
ed a wage increase of "A cents q
day in the Little Steel Case, in
stead of the 81 increase asked by
the CLIO United Steel Workers.
The decision is regarded general
ly as the keystone of the wartime
industrial wage structure.
Employer members joined with
the public members of the COM
mittee to give an to 4 vote, ac-
cording to the source, who declined
to be quoted by name.
The labor members have served
notice that they are filing a dis
senting report.
The board also awarded the I'M
ion security from maintenance
membership clause and company
checkoff of union dues and the
minimum daily wage guarantee, also
asked in the case.
The case directly affects about
$4,000 employees of Bethlehem,
Republic and Inland Steel, Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Companies,
but it is generally believed that
the wage will apply to about AGO.
900 other workers throughout the
steel industry and will have an i'm
mediate bearing upon the 81 day
wage demands of 100000 automobile
plant workers whose cases are now
before the board.
