Grand Jury Resumes
Probe Of Charges
In Union Funds Case

The grand jury which several
months ago began an investigation
of possible liquor floor tax law vio-
lat!ons and possible misuse CT labor
union funds in connection with
which five union officials were key
witnesses. was scheduled to resume
the inquiry today, after recess
since July /.
AS the investigation was about to
be resumed, one of the witnesses,
Larry Kelly, former treasurer of the
Building Committee of the Building
Laborers Union, Local No. IA, and
former president of the District
council of the union, could not be
located, it was stated by Assistant
United States Attorney John w
Fihelly. Whether Mr.. Kelly would
appear today was not known.
The grand jury would have been
discharged at the end of it's term
July l, but was continued and then
was recessed until today because
it was said Mr.. Kelly was i'll. Mr.
Fihelly said he would seek to have
the same grand jury continued in
service for another three months to
finish the investigation.
The last testimony heard in con-
nection with the investigation was
May l3. when Mr.. Kelly and four
other uniCn officials refused to
answer questions before the grand
jury. but changed their minds after
Justice Matthew F. MCGUIRE of Dis
trict Court had ordered them to
answer They would have faced the
alternative of being cited in con-
tempt of court had they failed to
comply with Justice McGuire's order
While the five officials faced the
court last May Mr.. Fihelly informed
Justice MCGUIRE the men had signed
immunity waivers In turn. Justice
Mcclure ruled that persons who
have waived immunity and their
constitutional rights not to testify
on the grounds of possible incrimi-
nation have no right TO refuse to
answer questions before the grand
jury thereafter.
At the time. Robert E Lynch, at
torney for the union officials, told
the court they had signed the I'M
munity waiver only in connection
with the investigation of possible
liquor floor tax law violations and
claimed they were willing to answer
questions in that connection. JUS
tice Mcclure, however, ordered that
they answer all questions necessary
in the investigation.
The investigation grew out of some
$50 cases of liquor allegedly seized
at the El Patio restaurant and some
$50 other cases at the union build
ing in the 500 block of New Jersey
avenue NV. last January by au-
thOritieS.

Spicer Declares FTC
Was Saving Face
In Issuing Order

William E. Spicer, former chair
man of Draft Board No 5. charged
today that the Federal Trade Com
mission had performed "a face
saving operation" in its order re-
curing him and two other respond
ents to cease and desist" from rep
rcsenting that the operation of their
business of locating delinquent
debtors for private concerns is con-
nected with the Federal Government
The FTC order, issued last night,
Is based on complaint filed against
Mr.. Spicer and Andrew j. Lytle and
Richard Carl Lytle of Akron, Ohio,
more than year ago. Subsequently
Mr.. Spicer resigned as head of the
local draft board.
Mr.. Spicer was accused by the
FTC Of issuing commercial ques-
tionnaires which conveyed the i'm
preston to the recipients that they
were forwarded by some Govern
ment agency in connection with
draft registration or with other ac-
tlvltles of the Government.
Procedure Outlined.
The firm operated under the names
Of Vocational Placement Bureau and
Bureau of Records of Employment,
the ETC said.
The commission claimed a num-
her of missionaries We're for
Warded to local draft boards or State
directors, which in turn were sent
to Selective Service headguar, ,ers
here. The information Mr.. Spicer
received was forwarded to the
Lvtles, according to the ETC.
In statement today. MI. Spicer
asserted the commission had finally
issued an order upholding only the
most unlmportant and least detri-
mental of their original complaints. "
He added that cursory eXamina-
ton of the FTC order Indicates

to discontinue the use of a firm

President Declares
Both He and Churchill
Favor Air Freedom

President Roosevelt said today
that he had discussed postwar
aviation with Prime Minister
Churchill and others. end fiat
they were agreed there should be
freedom of the air. The PreSi-
dent told his news conference
such a system would entail the
use of each others facilities.
A questioner reminded the Pres
ident that members of the Senate
party which just returned from the
battle fronts have expressed fears
that this country would not have
any foreign airbases six months after
the war. and that there seemed to be
a feeling that this Government
should continue to exercise control
over some of the bases established
with American money.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied there were
no more assurances on that point
than that his questioncr and himself
would be alive after the war.
Sovereignty Is Problem.
The point was raised that perhaps
the United States would run into
objections if it attempted to exercise
sovereignty over airfields it has es-
tabllshed in foreign lands. The
President inquired how We would
like it If another nation told us they
wanted sovereignty over airports
they were using in American ter
rltory.
BY free air. do you mean free
use Of airports that are being built?''
REPORTER inquired.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he thought so,
but that ownership of airports was
unlmportant.
Would Allow Rcfueling.
The President said that all those
who had discussed the matter feel
that internal aviation, however.
ought to be owned and run within
the country itself. He said that sup
pose there was q Canadian airline
running to the Bahamas or Puerto
Rico one British and one Ameri-
can. There is no reason why this
line should not stop in the United
States for refueling, but not to pick
up passengers. Nor was there any
reason, he said. why a British line
crossing the continent should not
stop at New York to refuel, but it
should rot be permitted to pick up
passengers from New York to San
Francisco.
He was asked if these views were
shared by Mr.. Churchill and he
said he believed so, although the
President explained that the talks
had been only informal. The Pesi-
dent said that he did not want to
see Government operation of COM
mercial passenger business on the
airllncs, but he explained that there
might be SOME routes to which pri-
vate capital could not be attracted,
and that it would be necessary to
have Government line, or a
United Nations line that would be
operated at a loss in order TO main
tain communica tionS.

Draft Fight Continues.
Senator Taft told the Senate to-
day some Of his colleagues favor a
complete prohibition against occu-
patlonal deferment of Young men
below certain age, either 25 or 30,
but that he was not prepared to 90
that far.
He explained, therefore. that his
amendment merely provides that.
after January |, 1914. no man under
30 shall be deferred on occupa tional
grounds unless such deferment is
approved by the local board where
he registered. by the local board in
the locality Of his Job and by the
director of sclective service.
Under existing law. he said. 1900
600 men have been granted occupa-
tlonal defermcnt and 1T is thought
they have been too numerous
Opposition Is Expected.
Administration forces are expected
to oppose this substitute, but have
not vet shown open opposition to a
proposal by Senator'S Bailey. Demo-
Crat, of North Carolina and Clark,
Democrat, OF Missouri, TO restrict
draft defeTmcnts in Government
bureaus and to limit the assignment
of ablebodied commissioned officers
to duty in the Washington area.
Selective Service officials already
are following voluntarily some of
the principles embodied in the Taft
substitute. They have a series of
categorleS, under which local boards
are directed to take single men with
out dependents, single men with col
lateral dependents and married men
without children ahead Of fathers.
The main difference would ba the
division OF the fathers into three
age-groupS.
Majority Leader Barklcy has not
committed himself on the Bailey
Clark amendment. but is awaiting
last-minuto data today on the num-
Der of defermcnts in Government
Offices here, This amendment would
require heads Of bureaus to show
man is "inGispensable.' unless he is
pre-Pearl Harbor father, or phySi-
cally unfit for military service.
Little Gain Seen.
Senator Barklev said he doubted
whether application of the amend
ment to the entire Government ros-
ter would produce more than $4,000
soldiers, and therefore, would not
eliminate the need for calling most
of the 446000 fathers scheduled to
60 this wear.
Senator Barkley late yesterday
blocked an attempt by Senator
Downey, Democrat, of California to
have the Military and Naval Affairs
Committee investigate the pcssibili-
ties of winning the war by air raids,
without large-scale land invasions
Senator Barklcy objected to immc-
diate action on the resolution and it
went to the Military Affairs Com
mittee.
