McNutt Appointments
Held Up After 3-Hour
Committee Session
Thirty Nominations
Submitted by Roosevelt
Three Weeks Ago

Manpower Chairman Paul v.
McNutt spent three hours today
before the Senate Military Al
fairs Committee In an effort to
get favorable report on 80
nominations for positions with
his commission. The committee
decided to hold up until Monday
its report on the nominations,
which include Hervey Allen, au-
thor OF Anthony Adverse"
President Roosevelt submitted the
nominations more than three weeks
ago. in compliance with the Nc
Kellar amendment which provides
for Senate scrutiny of all appoint
ments made by Mr.. McNutt calling
for salaries of s4,500 and over.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, at the conclusion of the
session said Mr.. McNutt informed
the committee the delay was not
interfering with the commission S
functions. The manpower chief
contends, according to the Wyom-
ing Senator. that he is experiencing
difficulty in getting high-salaried
men to work for Government pay.
Several of the nominations call
for salaries as high as S6,500. These
positions were to be filled by quail
fed industrial engineers.
The manpower official said his
agency, including the Selective Sery-
ice System, now totals $1,000 en-
ployes. He said about 5000 would
be employed in regional manpower
Offices and in Washington. The
committee was informed by Mr. Nc
Mutt that about $50 of the general
total would draw salaries of $4,500
or over.

Charged With 0PA
Price Violations
OIes, Of 'BoneIess Liver
Advertising Fame, Faces
Years Loss of License
BY tft Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-George
L. Oles, grocer and former
Youngstown Mayor, whose news
paper advertisements tickle his
customers humor, was charged
today with violating OPA price
ceilings.
The Office of War Information
said the Federal Court action, which
ON conviction provides a maximum
penalty Of one years suspension OF
a grocer's license, was the first of its
kind to be filed in the United States.
Mr.. Oles, who laughingly adver-
tised ''boneless liver" and told his
customers he had two policemen
guarding his coffee, was accused of
charging ove-ceiling prices for
fancy canned tomatoes, prunes, lard,
dried lima beans and bread.
Humorous Bread Ad.
Yesterday in discussing bread, the
72-year-old grocer advertised "the
population Of this city and the sur
rounding suburbs have a fine chance
to eat Oles' large size, union baked.
homemade bread at cents a loaf"
"All you have to do is all pull to-
gether and make Oles very, very
angry, and he will sell his bread
for cents per loaf, otherwise the
price will be 10 cents" he said.
And, he added, "Oles doubled the
wages of his famous rabbits and
they did marvellous things in getting
meat supplies for this week"
The Office of Price Administration
said Mr.. Oles had been warned last
November 7 he was violating CELL
lngs on certain items, that he had
failed to prepare a statement of his
March, 1912, ceiling prices, and that
action might be taken If he per-
sisted
Today's action charged that in
addition to selling certain items
above ceiling prices, Mr.. Oles still
has not made up the price list.
We're Not Guilty.
We AloG SuI1IS, lie COHlUieOG-
ed. Il also would like to know why
they picked George Oles out of the
whole United States"
The OPA charged Mr.. Oles does
a business in excess of S250,000 an
nually.
With all the money that George
L. Oles is supposed to have, includ-
ing S500,000 that 1 can borrow pro-
vided that I have Government Sc
curity, l cannot buy coffee for my
customers" Mr.. Oles complained IN
an advertisement recently.
Il have two strong policemen
watching my safe. I have two more
good strong policemen watching the
two policemen that are watching
my safe"

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20
Capt Henry Nelson, skipper of
the liner President Coolidge
which struck mine and sank
while being used as a troopship
in the South Pacific, has dis
closed here that he was given a
Navy court-martial and cleared
in connection with the ships
loss. -
Capt. Nelson, speaking at his home
here yesterday. said that if the
$4,000 = ton ship had not been
beached quickly I'VE would have
lost at least As per cent of those
aboard-she would have sunk in
20 minutes"
The vessel carried 1000 troops
when it sank somewhere in the
Solomons area and only four men
were lost, according to announce
ments by the Navy and Secretary
Knox last December Is.
Capt. Nelson said, however, that
only two men, crew members, were
found to have been lost when the
final check-up was made. The cap
tain said, too, that his ship struck
a second mine and that this blast
was even more terrific than the first
a few moments earlier. Earlier
Navy announcements said merely
that the ship struck mine"
Was in Protective Custody.
The captain disclosed that he was
placed in protective custody along
with his officers after the sinking.
The Navy flew him to a South
Pacific Island, held the court rt-martial
and acquitted him of all blame, he
said.

Awarded $4,000
In Libel Suit
Accused Philadelphia
Publisher of Attacking
Reputation in Editorial
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ga
Common Pleas Court jury today
awarded John ODonnell, head of
the Washington Bureau of the New
York Daily News, the $4,000 he
asked in a libel suit against the
Philadelphia Record.
The jury of eight men and four
women heard nine days of testi-
mony which filled 1,400-page
record.
The suit was based on an editorial
in the Philadelphia newspaper April
Is, ls4l, commenting on story by
Mr.. O'Donnell published the day
before in the New York Daily News
and Washington Times Herald.
Once Ended in MistriaL
A previous trial of the suit ended
In a nistrial last November 10
when Judge Clare G. Fenerty ruled
that a mention in the Records ac-
count of the trial, of the amount
sought by Mr.. O'Donnell might
prejudice the jury.
Judge Fenerty held that mention
of the amount violated rule of law.
Mr.. ODonnell's story, which White
House Secretary Stephen Early
quoted President Roosevelt as de-
scribing as "a deliberate lie re-
ferred to impending charges in the
Senate that United States naval
vessels were secretly convoying Brit
ish ships.
Mr.. O'Donnell contended the edi-
torial besmirched his character and
reputation and branded him as an
unscrhpulous falsifler Of news. j.
David Stern, publisher of the
Record, testified during the trial
that he himself wrote the editorial.
Lemuel B. Schofield, counsel for
the Record. moved for a new trial,
declaring there had been "palpable
miscarriage of justice" because, he
said, the jury gave insufficient con-
sideration to the evidence.
Judge Joseph Sloane refused to
hear the motion Immediately be-
cause of the press of other matters.
To a statement by Mr.. ODonnelrs
counsel, Thomas E. Comber, jr., that
the honor of the jury has been i'm
peached," the judge replied: There
is no question of the integrity of this
jury. The only question is If they
gave due and serious consideration
Of the testimony or only took about
so minutes"
Judge and Attorneys Confer.
The arguments disclosed that a
court officer informed Judge Sloane
last night he had learned the Jurors
had arrived at a verdict in favor
Of Mr.. O'Donnell within few
minutes after they began delibera-
tions at 9:25 pm "
Judge Sloane called opposing at
torneys to his chambers for a con-
ference and when the jury reported
at l:30 am. he ordered that the
verdict be sealed.
When court convened this morn
ing, Mr.. Schofleld arose before the
verdict was opened and asked for a
mistriai because of what was re-
ported to the court last night and
passed on to counsel by your
/ honor"
The motion was denied
Attorney Comber declared that IF
any oftlcer of the court tells of the
dellberation Of jury as overheard
by him, in violation of his oath, it is
question whether he is not guilty OF
criminal offense. I feel that the
honor and integrity of every Juror
/ has been impeached,"

the reservation that a new strike
could be called after 80 days If
their original demands for a basic
wage rate OF SIS cents an hour and

Under the Government compro-
mise proposal, only part of the de-
mands were met, but it was speci-

Terrific Beating
Says Whitehurst

NEalIier story on Page ALL
Fear was expressed today by
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
OF highways, that traffic bounc-
ing and sliding over Washing
tons ice-rutted streets had done
thousands of dollars damage to
the surfacing.
A survey already has been plan
ned by Capt. Whitehurst, after the
snow and ice is cleared away, to
learn extent of the damage. He
said repairs will be made as soon
as possible thereafter.
The streets are taking a terrific
beating" the high director declared
They are like plowed field and
the impact on them by the sliding
OF cars and heavy trucks from high
to low spots is bound to cause seri-
GUS damage. Packed snow does not
do so much HARM
Old Streets Suffer Most.
Old streets and those which have
not been resurfaced for years will
suffer most, Capt. Whitehurst said.
and 1t may be necessary to put new
surfaces on them instead of patches
Capt. Whitehurst said his greatest
concern at this time was over the
Potomac River bridges, where the
ice is much thicker and the ruts
deeper, due to the fact that they are
open and freezing sets in from under
the spans as well as on the surface.
Although the Highway Depart
ment is not responsible for snow re-
moval-this is function of the
Refuse Department - Capt White
hurst ordered two large road-girders
to clear the bridges of ice and snow.
The girders are now working on
Highway Bridge.
Relief from the severe sleet prob
ably will come sometime after the
next "a hours, the Weather Bureau
said, meanwhile. Declining to re-
veal specific data in advance, Bu-
reau officials said rise in tempera-
ture alone would melt the sleet
rapidly, even without the aid of a
warm rain.
For the next "a hours the situa-
ton will remain unchanged, with
low of 26 degrees predicted for to-
night.
Streetcar and bus traffic snarls
encountered during the morning
peak period were unraveled, but
Capital Transit Co. officials said
condition of the streets held out
little hope for restoration of normal
schedules this afternoon Nine
ploHs, which contacted electric con-
ductor bars underground, failed to
function normally today, causing
delays on several lines ranging up
TO Is minutes
Some Workers Quit Early.
To help relieve the peak trans
portat ton load, the War Department
today granted permission for all en-
ployes with private transport
to quit work an hour earlier.
Drivers in car pools were in
structed to contact fellow workers
and leave with capacity loads. This
applies to today only.
OfficialS said the purpose was to
clear the roads for the public trans
portation companies during the peak
rush hour Owing to the inability of
utility companies to increase public
service or to advance schedules Of
departure, persons depending on
bus and street car transportation
will be excused at the regular time.
