invitation today from the National
Maritime Union to address its an
nual convention starting July in
New York City, but he had to de-
cline
Joseph Curran, union president.

message to the assemblage instead.
Mr.. Curran, who called at the
White House accompanied by six
seamen who have been on torpedoed
ships, said he presented to the Chief
Executive a statement from union
members declaring their full sup
port of the Chief Executives policies
on the war and home fronts and
voicing their appreciation for his
veto of the Connally- Smith Harness
antistrike bill, even though Congress
overrode it.
Mr.. Curran said the statement as
serted that the men sailing the mer-
chant fleet are going to continue do
ing so, that there have been no
strikes and will be no strikes, and
that the national convention has as
its theme: What greater contribu-
ton can we make?"
Two members of the Federal Mari
time Commission, Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land and Capt. Edward
McCauley, went to the White. House
with Mr.. Curran and the Seamen.
The latter were Hoyt Haddock, Ed
win Beck, Gustave A. Fernandez.

and Charles Williams.

Restaurant Manager Fined
$50 for BIackout Violation

One Of the heaviest fines for a
blackout violation was meted out in
Municipal Court today when David
Marlborough, manager of a restau-
rant at 2521 Pennsylvania avenue
Sc, was fined $50 by Judge Walter
J. Casey.

fed that during last weeks test raid
the defendant did not turn out the
store lights until receiving 4 warn
ing, and later turned on the lights a
half hour before the blackout had
ended.
According to Joseph Soresi, An
air-raid warden, the defendant told
him that he did not believe there was
a practice test because there were
cars moving along the street.
The defedant told the court that
"you can't always believe what an
air-raid warden tells you"
He said he called police to verify
the test blackout before turning out
his lights.

mick, recently appointed rector of

dinner rendered him by the Wash

of the virtues of mankind, the
educator said.
Called "Untiring Worker"

Equipment Vanished.
From Kaiser Yard,
Investigators Told
Former Undercover Aqen,
Says Advice on Safe
Storage Was Ignored
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-A
congressional investigating commit
tee which head Henry J. Kaiser's
rebuttal to criticism of his Rich
mond (Calif) No. 3 shipyard was
told yesterday that Kaiser mate
rails and equipment had a way of
disappearing-by the ton.
Raymond A. Talmes, who said he
was a former undercover agent at
Kaiser yards, testified "all kinds of
stuff vanished" including q 6,00O-
pound anchor, 10 welding machines,
steel "by the truckload," some yard
equipment and lotion hoist. Part
Of the hoist later turned up in a
scrap pile.
The witness said that instead OF
needing his advice to store electrical
equipment in safer place, it was
covered with oil-soaked tarpaulin
and a $350000 fire resulted.
Hirings for Exams Charged.
Mr.. Talmes told Representatives
King, Democrat, Of California and
Bradley, Republican. of Pennsyl-
vania, conducting the hearing for
the House Merchant Marine Com
mittee, that some young welding
trainees paid fees to other persons
to take qualifying examinations for
them.
Mr.. Kaiser, first on the witness
stand yesterday, came with a pre-
pared statement to answer criticism
of the No. 3 Richmond yard which
Rear Admiral Howard L. Vickery,
vice chairman of the Maritime Com
mission, said would be investigated
by the commission.
Certain disgruntled employees are
having their inning" Mr.. Kaiser
said. This is the price we pay for
democracy, and I love it and pro-
pose to keep on fighting for it.
"We are building ships at an un-
precedented rate, and history will
record the value of our perform
ance"
Vickery's Testimony Mentioned.
Although Mr.. Kaiser himself did
not discuss specifically the charges
of mismanagement and waste at his
Richmond No. yard, Representa-
tives King and Bradley mentioned
yesterday by Admiral Vickery that
No. was hindered by Navy de-
mands for changes in ship design.
Edwin w. Hannay. jr.. 80, former
Kaiser marine superintendent. testi-
fed the delay was only partly due
to design changes.
THE Kaiser company to me is
just not shipbuilder," Mr.. Hannay
said. They're brokers. Everybody
and his brother has a subcontract
with them, and 1 guess it's a good
idea, because if anything breaks
down you can blame it on the sub
contractor"
Another witness, Edward John
