other named Corrigan. Wells and
their firm.
Conspiracy Charged.
The first true bill accused the
defendants with conspiring in New
York, Washington and Elmira, N. Y,
to endeavor corruptly to influence,
impede and defeat the administra-
ton by the Navy Department of its
lawful function to supervise pro-
duction by Remington Rand, Inc,
of Elnira, of Norden bombsights
under subcontract with the Norden
company.
The second indictment contained
the same charge and also accused
Corrigan of concealment. while a
civilian employe of the Navy and
later as a commissioned officer, of
his pecuniary interest in his COM
pany and his alleged filing of false
and misleading reports to the Navy
concerning official surveys of war
plants made by him.
At the time of the Pearl Harbor
attack, the first indictment stated,
the Navy issued a letter of intent
to the Norden company for produc-
ton and delivery of $500 bomb
sights and asked that Remington
Rand manufacture component
part, known as a football unit"
Subcontract Negotiated.
A subcontract was negotiated by
Norden with Remington Rand, the
bill continued, and a special plant
was erected at Elmira Corrigan,
the indictment said, was in charge
of the production management SUBJ
section of the Ordnance Bureau of
the Navy, surveying war plants and
reporting to the Navy for speeding
up production.
The indictment charged that as
part of the conspiracy, the Norden
defendants agreed to furnish faulty
information to Remington Rand so
that Corrigan could recommend that
the plant be taken over by the Navy.
Corrigan reported that the Ell
mira firms output did not meet
Navy specifications, the indictment
said, and recommended change of
management. The Navy then took
over, giving the Norden firm a man
agement contract.
Scheme for Control Charged.
Later, the indictment continued.
the Norden concern and the Elmira
plant hired the engineering services
of the Corrigan firm.
The indictment alleged that Barth
and Marvelle schemed to retain
control of the production by slow
ing down output of their wholly
owned subsidiary the Cardanic
Corp, which failed to comply with
a contract to supply bombsights to
the Army Air Forces.
The indictment charged that part
Of the plan was to impugn the
ability of Remington Rand to pro-
duce the football units" by furnish
ing incomplete and inaccurate
specifications for their construction
and by compelling the company to
adhere to such specifications. .
Said to Have Concealed Interest.
In July, 1943, the indictment said
the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers of America union
charged that the company was slow
ing down production at its New
York plant.
Subsequently, the bill added, Cor
rigan was assigned by the Navy
to investigate and filed a report
denying the charges. Some time
later, the indictment said, the Nor
den firm hired Corrigans company

"A peaceful demonstration,

"A peaceful demonstration until

Mr. Churchill continued.
An unarmed demonstration, u
broke in Sir Richard.
Mr.. Churchill answered.:
You don't know who is armed
or who is not in these days when
a small pistol can be produced from
a pocket. At any rate, there was
firing and very regrettable loss OF
life"
With tempers taut and the house
turbulent, Aneurin Bevan, bitter and
frequent critic of Mr.. Churchill, op-
enly scoffed at the Prime Minister s
account of the Belgian situation and
demanded:
will he desist from deceiving the
house in this irresponsible manner?"
Amid cries of withdraw" Mr..
Churchill snapped back, Il certainly
do not ask Mr.. Bevan to withdraw
Insults from him are compliments. 3"
Then he asserted:

four or five DAYS surrounding these

Mr.. Churchill said that for his

would not dodge immediate debate
on the issue if challenged, but said
it had best come on another vote OF

under Norden management, paid
another $4,000 to the survey firm
The second indictment charged
that Corrigan, although purporting
to resign the presidency and his
financial interest in his firm when
he became a Navy civilian employe
in May, 1912, actually concealed
those interests.
Accusing Corrigan Of using his
Navy position to procure private
business, the indictment said he re-
ceived $109 900 from his firm after
his alleged resignation.

Conviction of an individual on the
charges would carry maximum
penalty of Imprisonment for two

were handed to Federal Judge Ed

Assistant United States Attorney
General Hugh O'Donnell said after
the indictments were filed that Carl
L. Norden, inventor of the bombsight

pany, was in no way involved in the
case and was no longer associated
with the Norden firm.
The case was the subject of in
'quiry by the Senate's War Investi-

May and June, Mr.. O'Donnell said.
Corrigan, he added, was suspended

Make YuIetide Safe By Being
 Alert, Cautious

On Christmas Ee, last year, seven CD persons met death in traffic accidents and many others were injured. Certainly Christmas was . sad occasion last year for the many fami- flies afflicted by such needless deaths and personal injuries.
 Governor Raymond E. Bald win joins with me in an ur- gent appeal to our citizenry to drive with extreme caution, and all possible courtesy, on the slipery streets and high- ways prevailing this week and avert the serious consequences of traffic accidents.
 The Governor joins with me, too, in urging pedestrians to be careful in crossing streets and, particularly, in walking on highways. Dark hours and slippery surfaces make unusual hazards for foot traffic. A Safe Christmas can be a Merry Christmas. You can make this Yuletide 8 Safe, and Merry, Christmas for yourself and fellow citizens by driving, and walking, with caution and courtesy.

WLB DIRECTIVES TOBE OBSERVED
ScOviIl Company to Rehire 66 Mill Workers; Several
 Appeals Likely

The six months old dispute in existence between the Scovill Mfg. Go, and the C.IO. Local 569 and affecting 66 tube mill workers who walked out of the plant last May was terminated yesterday with the agreement by the company to com ply with the most recent WLB di- rective that the workers be restored to former employment.
 Alan C. Curtiss, personal relations director of the plant, has announced that the 66 workers will be permitted to return providing they do so be- tween Dec. 26 and Jan. 6, unless sufficient cause is shown why they must delay another week. Workers must appear at the company's. em- ployment office, and those who dc not thereby serve notice of their desire not to return.
 The terms were agreed upon at a joint meeting of management labor yesterday afternoon at which MT. CurtisS represented the former and Robert Walkinshaw the latter.
 MT. CurtiSS said he did not know whether the company would act upon the disciplinary clause of the boards order or not. Therefore, it is not yet certain whether the men will be returned to their for mer jobs, receive the same wages or seniority rights.
 Further appeals by both manage ment and labor relative to the re- cent VILE directive concerning a contract between the C.I.O and the Scovin Mfg. Co. may be made al- though the company has agreed to comply with tine phase of the direc tive ordering modified night shift differentials.
 A five per cent bonus for second shift workers and a seven and a half per cent increase for night shift workers will be established.
 The company may appeal provi- sions for the check-off system of collecting union dues and mainte- nance of membership which were granted by the VILE, MT. Curtis announced.
 Denied requests for 17-cent gen. eraL wage increase, severance pay and sick leave by the board, the union will appeal the three issues, Robert L. Walkinshaw, Local 569 international representative, said last night.
