President Roosevelt told his

Mr.. Roosevelt also declared he has

Recurring reports have had it that
Mr.. La Guardia was in line to be-

Mr.. Roosevelt said he would not

By the Associated Press,
DETROIT, April 6.--Republican
swept all major State Offices in
yesterdays spring election, making a
clean sweep follow through on gains
which last fall restored Michigan
as stronghold of the COP.
Late returns today continued to
swell Republican advantages as prin-
cipal interest boiled down to a
three way fight for two non partisan
Supreme Court justiceships. Both
Supreme Court incumbents, Emer-
son R. Boyles and Bert D. Chandler
trailed Neil Reid, 71-year-old Ma
comb County circuit judge, but his
lead remained narrow.
Unofficial tabulation in $3.50 pre-
cincts of the States 1854 gave Mr..
Reid 154664 votes, Mr.. Chandler,
l53,42l, and Mr. Boyles, 15O,sO6
With only an estimated one fourth
of the States 100000 voters cast
ing ballots, Charles M. Ziegler,
Lansing City assessor, grabbed the
politically potent post of State high
way commissioner from the Demo-
Gratis for the first time since 1888,

post as superintendent of public in

Dewey Of Illinois
Suggests System
For World Trade
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A plan designed to break down
international cartels and thus
open up world trade was pro-
posed today by Representative
Dewey, Republican, of Illinois
during a meeting of Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau with
the House Foreign Affairs,
Banking and Coinage Commit
tees.
The Illinois member said the car
tells control of production could be
broken by America pledging gold to
an international bank and other
countries contributing equivalents of
critical materials.
such a bank could control the
prices of critical materials, such as
quinine, chromium and bauxite, -
Mr.. Dewey told newspapermen after
the closed joint meeting. This
would prevent production controls
by cartels and open up international
trade"
Mr.. Dewey made his proposal aft
er Mr.. Morgenthau gave the COM
mittees broad outline of the ad-
ministrations program to stabilize
postwar currencies.
Chairman Steagall of the Banking
Committee said the Secretary had
presented an interesting case,
though the program was now in
crude form and would require con-
siderable study before mature judg-
ment could be rendered.
Il think we've got to do something
to put our vast stocks of gold to
useful purposes" he added.

Grand Jury 10 Hear
Senate Evidence on
Fake Ship Steel Tests
Recalled in PITTSBURGH
To Fix Responsibility
In Faulty Metal Sale
BY the Associated Press.

bS bne ASSOCldteQ f>reSS.
PITTSBURGH, April GA
grand jury will convene here
Monday, a Federal attorney said
today, to develop charges heard
by the Senate War Investigating
Committee of delivery of defec-
tive steel ship plates to the Gov
ernment.
The committee, headed by Sem
ator Truman, Democrat, of Missouri,
received testimony at Washington
two weeks ago that tests were
faxed on plates turned out by the
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. The
statements were made by employees
OF the company. J. Lester Perry,
Carnegie-Illinois president, declared
the failure to make proper tests was
not known to the highest manage
ment' and he intended to clear 1t
up as quickly as possible.
United States Attorney Charles F
Uhl said the Federal grand jury ses-
sion would be largely based on mat
ters developed by the Senate COM
mittee."
He added, however, that the JUS
tice Department is making an in
dependent investigation and "other
companies may be involved"
The Truman Committee began its
investigation after the tanker
Schenectady broke apart January 16
at Portland, Greg.
Mr.. Perry testified that the "plate
at the point where the break began
was not product" of the company S
Irwin works, where employees claimed
tensile tests were faxed" The off,
cial expressed belief the plate in
question came from the Homestead
works.

Moore Regrets Gift
OF $4,000 10 Former
Oklahoma Governor
Senator Calls Action
'Indiscretion,' Giving Rise
Too misunderstanding
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Moore, Republican. Of
Oklahoma said today he re-
gretted having made a IS 5000 gift
to former Gov. Leon C. Phillips
of Oklahoma because of the mis-
understanding it may have
started.
The Senator told reporters today
he considered the presentation an
"indiscretion, because 1 believe to
some extent it gave rise to mis-
understanding"
Senator Moore previously had
stated that the money was paid as a
gift without any obligation on Mr.
Phillips part. The former Governor
recently told an Oklahoma legisla-
tive committee it was for work yet
to be done"
From my standpoint" Senator
Moore declared, there was nothing
improper, and nothing intended as
compensation for any service.
yet I regret having made the
gilt at the time and under the cir
cumstances, because a lack of un-
derstanding by people not con-
versant with all the facts may for
the time being, to some extent, shake
their confidence in my sincerity of
purpose"
The circumstances" he explained
were that he was Senator -elect and
Mr.. Phillips, who supported him in
his campaign, was retiring Cover
nor.
Il can understand" Senator Moore
said, "how people might construe it
to be an improper gift"
Later, he said, he probably will is
sue a statement clarifying his atti-
tuGe in the situation.
