 juntfion Case

NEW YORK, May 25.-In an an- ti-trust procedure without prece- dent. the Government has sasked the Federal Court for a summary judgment against the Associated Press. without taking testimony by witnesses during the open court trial.

 Counsel for the Associated Press declined to comment on the Gov ernments latest move but it is un- derstood that the Government s contention was that there are no material facts that remained un- controverted.
 The action will be vigorously challenged by the Associated Press, i it is also understood. Probably 30 days will be required to prepare file of answering affidavits to SUD- port APIS position that the normal procedure in antitrust cases is to take the oral testimony of witness es in open court, each party of the litigation offering documentary ev- idence in support of testimony.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMator Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. = Some of the biggest bigwigs in the Air Corps have flown out to Cincinnati re- gently to probe serious situation in the Wright Aeronautical plant uncovered by the Truman Con- mittee Among the worried officials visiting the Wright plant are As sistant Secretary of War Lovett It. Gen. William Knudsen, Col Bill O'Dwyer former candidate for Mayor of New York, now the Air Corps chief investigator and Gen, c. R. Branshaw of Dayton, Ohio
 What the Truman Committee found was certain alleged defects in airplane motors plus lack of careful inspection
 Engines were tested in part by running pink liquid through the cylinders and if any of this pink coloring came through, it indicated there was leak some place and the cylinders were defective. How ever, even when defects were indi- cated, testimony taken by the. Tru- man Committee states that the en- zines were okayed by inspectors.
 Gen. Knudsen, long the produc- tion wizard for General Motors wrote a report following his trip to Cincinnati, tending to play down the seriousness of the Truman Committee findings. He said that almost all engines had minor de fleets in them, and that the pink markings which indicated defects were not serious.
 However, the Army appears wof- ried over the entire situation anc is moving ih to clear it up. On factor difficult to explain is the Truman Committee testimony that two inspectors objected vigorously to okaying engines which appeared defective.
 They were civil service employee: of the Army, not of the Wrigh company. Eventually the two pro. testing ins oectors were transferred one of them being told not to set foot on Wright property again, ac. cording to the testimony
 This is hab looks had. The Tru man Committee is waiting for thC Army to clean up the situation completely

Congress, Afier to44,
 VIII Be Tough One for
 Any presidentio Handle
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Add a few statistics to the prognostica- tions of some of our most conser- vative political guessers here, and the conclusion is that no matter whether a Democrat or Republican sits in the White House after 1914, it will be an uneasy seat so far as Congress is concerned.
 No President has ever had any thing but trouble when he had a Congress divided against itself It was a Republican Senate that whit tied President Wilson's IA Points down to zero and isolated us from the League of Nations. Republican President Hoover had to cope with a Democratic house. These are within our own time, but the story stretches back into history and ev- cry time it appears, the presidency has had more afflictions than Job, with no time (because of coming elections) to apply Jobs patience.
 Practically all unbiased political observers here say positively that the House of Representative elect ed in 1944 will be Republican. They know the swing of the pendulum. They point to the 1942 elections that carried the Republicans with in IA seats of the Democratic ma jority (which means that if the Re- publicans had won just eight more of the 222 opposition seats, they would have been in the saddle) They argue Oven that if a Demo- cratic President is elected-even if President is reelected-it will be impossible to change this swing of the pendulum in the congressional districts.
 Grant it is a possibility and you will see what is ahead for the next President of the United States. Be- cause only by miracle could the Republicans capture control of the Senate in next years elections.
 In the present Senate. there arc 57 Democrats, 38 Republicans ano one Progressive. To gain control, the Republicans would have to unseat 10 Democrats, without losing one.
 Since there are 21 seats now Democratic and only II now Re- publican to be filled next year, that appears on the surface a pretty simple matter.
 But wait. Thirteen of those Dem ocratic Senators come from Solic South Democratic states or iron states so overwhelmingly Democrat. ic even on the basis of l942 cleo. ticns, that there seems no possi. bility of the Republicans gettins
