FOLEY ON STAND
 IN FLYNN TRIAL
All Evidence Given Grand Jury Says Bronx County
 District Attorney
By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan. 9 - (U.PJ - Samuel J. Foley, Bronx County dis trict attorney, testified today that when he conducted grand jury in- qulry into charges that New York city labor and paving blocks had been used on the country estate of Edward J. Flynn, he presented every piece of evidence that could be unearthed."
 Foley appeared before the senate foreign relations committee to ans wer charges that the grand jury in vestigation was "whitewash" of Flynn, former democratic national committee chairman whose nomina- tion to be minister to Australia is being considered by the committee.
 The grand jury returned no in- dictment. Flynn had testified that city materials and workers were used to pave a courtyard at his Lake Mahopac, N. r., estate, but that this was done without his know ledge and that complete restitution was made.
 Every piece of evidence that could be unearthed was given to the grand jury, and given completely" Foley testified.
 "The grand jury participated to an unusual degree in the investiga- tion, and this may have led to the impression that I did not bring out all the facts"
 Foley took the witness stand after the committee heard Assistant Sec- retary of State Adolph A. Berle, Jr., testify that when he became New York City Chamberlain (treaSurer) n 1884. i've had what was the of 8 busted trust com- pany" because so much of the city's money was invested through the State Title and Mortgage C..

Wilkesbarre, Penn., Jan. 22.-(UP) The No. 2 colliery local of the Susquehanna Galleries Co.,, voted today to return to work in compli- ance with President Roosevelt's or der to end the anthracite strike started December 30.
 The local represents 1,600 miners at the Nanticoke colliery and its action left only the 800 Exeter min CTS of the Payne Coal O., as hold outs against the Presidents order
 The Nanticoke workers fell into line with the back-to-work move ment at a brief meeting. Local President William Chesney urged the miners to adhere to the Presl- dents wishes to reopen the mine The voice vote was unanimous and the men decided to go to work to- morrow.
 The Exeter local which voted yes- terday to remain idle decided late last night to reconsider. It Sched- uled a meeting for late today.
 Production of anthracite ap- preached normalcy as two more mines resumed operations. They were the small washington mine ot the Glen Alden Co.,. and the West moreland mine of the Lehigh Val lev Coal Go. The Washington To- cal voted to return yesterday morn ing while the Westmoreland min- CTS joined the back-to-work move ment last night.
 At yesterdays meeting. the Ex- eter miners complained that Presi- dent Roosevelt's back to work or- der to them had not been signed by him. The local said it sent a telegram to the White House asking "What have we to gain by going back to work?"

Oil Shortage May Be Acute Over Week-End
No Assurance City Will Receive Any More Until Mon- day; Defense Council Preparing for Mass
 Housing Possibilities

Fear that the shortage of range oil here may reach its most acute stage over the weekend was ex- pressed today by Mayor John g.. Monagan. Shipments received yes terday afternoon and this morning made the situation a bit better than yesterday, he said, but there was no assurance that Waterbury will receive any more oil until Mon- day. He urged householders to use the fuel as sparingly as possible.
 Dr. John G. Gilmartin, chairman of a special committee appointed a week ago, was to submit to the planning board of the Waterbury Defense Council this afternoon a plan for housing of families with out fuel in schools and public build- ings. Such mass housing may have to be restored to unless large ship nents of oil arrive soon. A number of local families, with range oil as their only, heating fuel, have fol- lowed the recommendation of Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health of flcer, and have moved in tempor- arily with relatives or neighbors.
 The cold wave of the past few days has intensified the health hazards inherent in the shortage. The temperature dropped to i've above during the night, and was only a bit above zero this morning.
 Most retail dealers were able to get small allotments from whole salers this morning, but others said they could get no oi.. The whole salers were apportioning their supp plies to the dealers, and only 200 or 300 gallons was being given most pedlers. This amount, the dealers said, would carry them through only part of the day. They said that the number of familities without oil or with enough for only 24 hours or less was growing. ,4.t ie.,lf
 A survey by Mayor Monagan showed that six w--~IeSalerS had received shipments late yesterday or today, he said. The amounts were far less than needed to meet the local demand, he pointed out, and much larger supplies are ceet:eG % carry the city over to Monday.

 PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
 HIT BY MEASURE Comptroller to Be Given Full Control of Depart

Hartford, Conn.,, January p. = (UP) An adninis- tration bill, abolishing the State Public Works Depart ment which controls a $20,- 100000 capital building pro- gram, was offered today in the Senate by Republican Majority Leader Stanley P. Mead, New Canaan. Virtu- ally full control of the de- partment's functions would be transferred to the State Comp troller.
 The department is headed by George, L. Burke, Q close ally or former Democratic Governor Rob- ert A. Hurley, and who was Hur. leys aide when the latter was pulp lie works director prior to his elec- tion as governor in 1940. Burke gets 5000 a year.
 The bill, carrying out an inaugu- TaI TecOmInenQ&CLOu OI GONeGuOG Raymond E. Baldwin, would abolish S8 jobs and an annual payroll of $54,0Oo. One Waterburian would be affected.
 Under this measure the comptrol- Ter would assume control of all state institutions, buildings and real as- sets of the state. with the excep- ton of those under the specific sup ervisiOn of commissioners or boards of trustees-such as the State Po- lice Department.

property was traversed by impor-

consisted chiefly of farms, truck

demanding manpower. for labor is
one OF Germanys major wants to-

Scientists have tried to cover big
factories above ground by means of
artificial fog to protect them from
attack.
The great Leuna synthetic petrol
plant, for instance, which stretches
for more than 7 miles along the
Dresden-Leipzig railway, is covered
every evening with thick cloud of
fog given off by a special liquid
kept in big containers around the
factory.

ing
The construction of new factories
mainly of wood and glass is another
measure the Nazis are adopting. It
has been found that the effect of
high explosives on these is, strangely
enough, less than on iron and steel
buildings, and, above all, repairs
are comparatively easy to make.
This problem of repairing dam
aged industries is, indeed. a thorn
in the Nazis' side. Building ma
terials and building laborers cannot
be found to carry out all the re-
pairs. and the workmen. who are
mostly foreigners, do not seem to
care whether the job is finished to-

case of metal works in the south
western Berlin suburb of Zehlendorf,
which was badly hit on March
this year.
The repairs were not. completed
by August %, and that night the
Allied bombers smashed the factory
again so badly that it had to be
closed down.

whatever are made to repair ordi-
