the distance to London, but even
so, the fact that they offer a.

-Four MidweSterners
Accused Of PLOTTING
Gas Black Market
BY the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY, Aug. l0.-War-
rants have been issued in Federal
Court charging four men with lille
gal sale or transfer Of gasoline cou-
pons worth more than 100000
gallons.
One, in written statement. made
public by OPA Investigators, said
used coupons taken to furnace to
be burned, had been raked out with
a poker and salvaged illegally.
The four against whom charges
were made yesterday were Charles
Cline and Byron Stafford, both of
ST. Joseph. Mo. and Jack Ross and
Marion Bolder, both of Kansas City.
Cline said in his signed statement
that twice each month men from
the Tootle-Lacy National Bank in
ST. Joseph would take coupons to
the laundry where Cline worked to
be burned
OPA investigat tors said these trips
were made by armored car. Bank
officials who had received the cou-
oons for credit in ration banking
stood by until the coupons, pasted
to large sheets of paper, were put
into the furnace and the door closed.
After they had left, Cline said, he
would open the door, rake out the
coupons and save as many as he
could. He led the OPA men to a
hiding place in his home where he
mad cached enough coupons for 1884,
925 gallons. He estimated he had
pulled out more than 10000 900 GAL
Ions in coupons.
In his statement, Cline said he
had been selling coupons to Ross
and Stafford, some at 2 cents a GAL
ION. others at a cent a gallon.
Bolder, identified by the OPA as
filling station attendant, was not
mentioned in Cline's statement, and
OPA officials refused to say why q
warrant had been issued for his ar
rest. They added however, that
other arrests would be made.
The investigation started, they de-
clared, after the Midwest was flood
ed with illegal coupons, some of
them slightly burned.

had been informed Mr.. Schimmel
is in constant contact with the
Political Action Committee OF the
CO.
Senator Wherry, noticing Mr..
Schlmmel speaking to Senator
Overton, in the presiding officers
chair, demanded to know how a
nonmember got that right, Senator
Overton explained that Mr.. Schim-
mel just wanted to know how many
Senators had listed their names on
the speaking list.
Senator Wherry later told repor-
tiers that neither the Political
Action Committee nor any other
committee with special interests to
serve ought to have representative
on the floor"
But Senator Kilgore. Democrat, of
West Virginia. head of the subcom-
mittee. told news conference his
group had borrowed Mr. Schimmel
from the War Production Board
that he had no connection with the
CLIO and was on the Senate floor at
the request of himself and Senator
Murray.
The general air OF controversy
clouded prospects Of any Senate
compromise between the supporters
Of the Murrav-Kilgore bill and the
rival plan of Senator George.
Maurice F. Devine, chairman OF
the American Legion's National
Legislative Committee, criticized
features of both bills in a telegram
to members of the Senate, but con-
centrated most of his opposition on
the Murray -Kilgore proposal.

has so held" Attorney General

against the Western railroads to

Met at the train as he left for
Seattle last night, he refused to
comment further on his brief state
ments before the bar associati ton.
An investigation of Western rail-
roads is now being ended" he said
in his address
The investigation has revealed
that commissioner, who is not a
representative of the Government,
but is sort of Will Hayes of the
railroad industry. says what the rail-
roads may or may not do and they
bow to his order.
If a railroad wants to add a fast
train or put radio equipment in its
coaches, that commissioner may tell
them they cannot do so because it
would be unfair to competing lines"
Commissioner Is Named.
In Washington, Department. Of
Justice officials said that Mr.. Biddle
in his reference to commissioner
referred to Charles E Johnson.
They said that Mr.. Johnson's
headquarters are in Chicago and
stated that he held the position of
chairman of Western association

Russell Accuses Government
OF 'Intimidotinq' Workers

BY the Associated Press.
Government leaders were accused
today by Senator Russell, Democrat,
of Georgia of trying Ito intimidate
workers throughout the Nation" by
using unusually drastic means" to
halt the Philadelphia transit strike.
In addition, he contended in 10
minute Senate speech, one Govern
ment agency, the Fair Employment
Practices Committee, deliberately
fomented the strike with
full knowledge of the evil conse-
ouences its action was certain to
cause"
Terming the procedure enforced
labor with a vengeance" Senator
Russell said, L doubt whether more
drastic means have ever been en-
ployed by any totalitarian state"
Railroad Directive Cited.
Senator Russell recalled that when
the FEPC issued its original di-
receive requiring upgrading of
Negro trolley workers in Philadel-
phia 1T likewise issued an order
against all the operating railroads
in the South, directing them to en-
ploy Negroes as engineers and con-
ductors"
Il shudder to think of the con-
sequences if the FEPC follows its
established program and attempts
to re-enact the Philadelphia
story in any large Southern city "
he asserted.
1T will set in motion train of
events that will endanger the future
peace and the welfare of all of the
American people.
But the stage was deliberately
set in Philadelphia to make an
example of these strikers, to in
tlmidate other workers and
so terrify them that they
would submit to any conditions"

Transit Grand Jury
ToHear 100 in SEEKING
Real Cause Of Tie-up
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. - A
Federal grand jury buckled down
today to uncovering the motivating
factor in the city's recent six-day
strike after United States District
Judge George A. Welsh admonished
the women and II men that he
did not believe the upgrading of
eight colored men to operators jobs
was the real cause and spoke of q
"secret motive"
The first of more than 100 wit
nesses, including Mayor Bernard
Samuel, Frank l.. McNamee, regional
War Manpower Commission director,
company and union officials and
strikers. were scheduled to be called
before the jury today.
In his charge, Judge Welsh in
structed the jury yesterday to de-
termine whether persons who called
the city's transit strike did so with
the aim of welding some effect" on
the fall elections.
Judge Is Republican.
II don't want to bring politics
Into this investigation" the Re-
publican jurist said, but you may
find what was in the hearts and the
minds of these men who called this
strike was intended to have some
effect on the impending election"
The strike, the judge said, caused
serious disruption of wartime prep
arations," caused chaos and con-
fusion in community that was
doing its best in a crisis in the
Nations history" and struck blow
at sacred cause" for which thou
sands of American boys are fighting.
You are to determine the iden-
tity OF the men who engineered
such strike" he said, They - -
should have made a declaration of
any grievance.
Real Cause Sought.
1T came, however, as a bolt from
the blue. The reason given for it
was one of intolerance and racial
hatred. hope 1t was not the
real reason.
If race hatred was the real rea-
son, we cannot take it lying down.
We must punish the men who called
such a strike.
The mere throwing of three or
four men to the wolves will not solve
this problem. nor will retribution to
them, although that is in the pic
ture,'' Judge Welsh said.
Late yesterday officials of the PIC
and the CLIO Transit Workers Union
signed contract providing an ag-
gregate 100000 wage increase for
several thousand operating and
