investigation of the riots, which led the navy to declare the entire city out of bounds and left the Skirdow district on the army blacklist.
 The grand jury ordered the inves- tigation, after District Attorney Fred N. Howser appealed for such a move admitting that LOS Angeles is faced with the humiliating fact that the navy has found it necessary to declare the city out of bounds"
 Both army and navy authorities held an off the record session with State Attorney General Robert w. Kenny, here to conduct an investi- gation.
 Neither Mai Gen. Maxwell Mur- phy, commander of the southern sector of the western defense com mand, nor Captain Schuyler F. Helm, commandant of the naval operating base, San Pedro, would comment after the meeting.
 Kenny, too, was silent.
 Another investigation by the Of flee of Inter- American Affairs was underway, but so far had not passed the report stage.
 Foot attacks, meantime, were scattered. In the downtown area, trouble was slight, with the Skid, row area virtually deserted on con- sequence of the military orders. In outlying areas, zoot suffers staged a half-dozen attacks but there was no rioting
 At Pasadena, mob of sailors and civilians pursued fleeing zoot-suiters through the downtown district, but halted at the doors to the police station, where the zoot-suiters fled for safety. Police took them home and the mob dispersed.
 Police said the mob appeared to be in 8 good humor"
 Russell E. Floss, 32, was slashed on the throat by two zooters to whom he gave a ride. They were quarreling, he said, and when he or dered them out of his car, they at tackled him.
 One zoot suiter wore overalls over his beloved drape-shape pants, but was given away by his duck-tail haircut. Two sailors who spotted him and another zooter removed both the oyeralls and the ankle chokers.

 Los Angeles, June Il. - (UP) - Dark-eyed Cholitas packing razors in the tops of their black mesh stockings today took up the street fighting where their male zoot-suit counterparts were being forced to drop it.
 Garbed in midnight black, with an above-the-knee version of the hob ble skirt, they vowed to carry the battle against servicemen and police "uEtil one side or the other is wiped out"
 Three of them attacked waitress coming out of 8 downtown tunnel, knocked her down, and slaShed her with a razor.
 Her assailants fled when an un- identified man ran to her aid. The victim, Miss Betty Morgan, 22, bore several cuts and was bleeding pro- fusely. Taken to Emergency Hospi- tai, she was hysterical.
 There was no apparent reason for the attack.
 The CholitaS, auxiliaries of the zoot suit gangs which for months have made walks on dimly lighted streets risky affair, insisted they would not be diverted.
 Although service men have been ripping the zoot clothing from the male mobsterS, such treatment of the female branch presented prob lem.
 Nobody is going to take my out fit off me-" Cholita advised police.
 Previously taken in custody was a young woman who carried a pair of brass knuckles, and police said, knew how to use them" A 20-year- old girl was taken to jail for melting resistance to officers attempting to make an arrest.

CIO Headquarters Receive Notice of Favor Action on
 Petition; Adjustment Retroactive to March z

John J. Driscoll, secretary of the C1O council, revealed last night that CIO requests for a compensatory bonus to make up for the loss of double time salary for approximate ly 2,400 employees of the American Brass company plants in this city, Torrington and Ansonia, have been favorably voted upon by the New York regional office of the National War Labor Board.
 John Saltanstall, hearing officer of WLB's second New York region, has informed counsel for the union that the case has been reviewed and sent on to Washington for final action, said MT. Driscoll. The CIO officials said that the decision should be received shortly.
 According to the contract between the company and the union, any salary adjustment ordered will be made retroactive to March 2.
 MT. Driscoll said that in view of the advice from the boards rep resentative, CIO officials have re- tlewed their efforts to overcome the disgruntled attitude among Ameri- can Brass workers which was the result of the long delay in settling the grievance.
 We are urging all our members to disregard the dispute and make special effort to stay on their jobs Sunday" the state secretary said.
 A couple weeks ago, approxi- mately 500 ABC employees of the Ansonia branch objected to the ab- sence of action on this issue by re- questing sick passes and staying Iway from workThe gesture was not sanctioned by the union and of- ficials were successful in getting the workers back to work the next day. Several Waterbury plant workers on the second shift also failed to ap- pear for work that Sunday, a situ- ation, MT. Driscoll said, the result by unrest over the loss of premium pay.
 This condition hasn't recurred since the management revealed that the case had been recommended to VILE for an early hearing.
 To summarize the situation, the union requested the labor board to

News Of Connecticut

Norwalk, Conn, June 11-UP)- Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt told an aud fence of 1250 at town hall meet ing" last night she thought the "press was handled very stupidly" at the recent Hot Springs Food Conference.
 'They should have been told that 1t was fact-finding mission and that no binding agreements would be made" she said ill reply to a question from listener.
 The question was: How can we continue to have faith in the coun- try when we were refused informa- tion on the Food Conference?"
 OPA inspectors were at the meet ing, and reported the 125O attend ing evidently walked, as no cars were parked in the vicinity of the hall.
 Hartford, Conn.,, June 11-(UP)- The OPA announced today that a statewide price ceiling on approx imately 2200 brand name grocery items would be established over the weekend. Prices, it was said, would be computed on an average for the commodities in all retail stores of the state.
 '"The prices may appear to be high in some areas, while in other areas prices may be reduced" an OPA spokesman said. "Our price ex- perts have examined nearly 4OOO in- dividual price lists and have had the guidance and advice of representa- tive whOlers and retailers in arriv- ing at these ceilings"
 According to the OPA, under this arrangement, for the first time all Connecti1qt consumers will know exactly the most they can expect to pay for grocery items no matter where they may be. Nobody will have any excuse to fail to obtain thu full protection available under price control. Overcharges and cell ings violations will be easily spotted and should be reported to the local war price and ratiOning boards for speedy investigation by the price panels"
 Meantime, the price of butter dropped five cents a pound today for prints, selling at 51 instead of 56 cents. Quarter prints sold at 52 cents.
 Hartford, Conn, June 11-(UP)- The OPA today prohibited George w. Cory, a Woodbridge war work CT, from purchasing automobile tires for the duration, and suspended his gasoline ration privileges for 30 days for violating the rubber rationing regulations.
 Cory was charged with obtaining a certifiate from his rationing board to buy three new tires, after sub mitting 8 tire inspectors report that three tires in his possessions were not recappable.
 The tire dealer from whom Cory purchased the new ones, however, reported to the board the numbers of the old tires did not coincide with the numbers submitted to the board in Cory's application.
 The OPA concluded that Cory had more than five tires in his possession, making him ineligible for new ones.
 Cory blamed his 7-years-old son for a mixup in the serial numbers, declaring the boy crawled under the car and misread them.

grant the double-time earnings in the form of bonus. If this were sanctioned, it would mean that American Brass employees affected by the decision would receive the former premium pay under a new name.
 The management has requested that flat bonus rate be installed, said MT. Driscoll.
 The CIO secretary said that set clement of similar disparagement at Bridgeport Brass Co.,, was com- pleted within a short time after the WLB regional officers report was filed with the national board, con- sequently an ealiy decision may be expected here.
