q settlement and said he wanted to
bring the case to trial.
Government Lost Case.
Mr.. Biddle said that in the face
Of a firm offer" to settle the suit
for 81 1,085, 900 he allowed Mr.. Littell
to take the case to trial. The Gov
ernment eventually lost.
THE final cost to the Government,
including interest and fees, made q
difference Of about $500, 1000 (more)
between the firm offer and the final
settlement" Mr.. Biddle testified.
He said the reason he let Mr.. Lit
tell take the case to court was th..
he usually followed the advice Of
his division heads In matters which
they had studied more minutely
than he had.
Mr.. Biddle said he felt he should
agree to the trial If Mr.. Lttell took
the attitude that the department
might be criticized for making a
settlement out of court.
Then Mr.. Biddle said he wanted
to tell about "the famous midnight
ride" That turned out to be an
automobile jaunt to the Attorney
Generals Virginia farm in connec-
ton with the Sterling Products case.
German Influence Removed.
The department had filed an anti
trust case against the pharmaceuti-
cal house, alleging a tie-up with the
German I. G. Farben interests. Mr..
Biddle testified that Mr.. Corcoran
was able to persuade the firm to
plead nolo contendere. He said the
German influence was completely
removed.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Corcoran and
Thurman Arnold, then head of the
Antitrust Division, had worked out
a suggestion that the. Secretary OF
Commerce police" the reorgal1ized
company to see that it remained
clear Of German influence. Mr.
Biddle was out at his farm, the tele-
phone lines were down because of q
storm, SO they drove out at night.
Both Of them have a sort of flair
for the dramatic, you know" Mr.
Biddle said
Mr.. Biddle said he turned them
down cold.
Il told them thought their plan
was silly and I wouldn't write any
such letter to the Secretary of Com
merce," he said.
Chairman Russell interrupted Mr..
Biddle once to say he did not be-
lieve the Littell case pertinent to
the Carusi hearing. but Senator
Ferguson, insisted that it had a
bearing on whether Mr.. Carusi
would be able to give Congress full
information about his work If he
were confirmed as commissioner.
Mr.. Biddle said he did not OBJ
ject to subordinates testifying be-
fore congressional committees, but
that 1T was a rule that he should
be informed in advance because he
was responsible for Justice Depart
ment policy.
He said he was sure that Mr..
Carusi would never testify before
any committee-as Mr.. Littell had
done-without first talking it over
with the Attorney General.

The nomination, however, became

three-hour give on the
custer of Mr. Littell, and his charges
that Mr.. Corcoran has been able
to influence official actions of the
Justice Department.
Corcoran Influence Overrated.
Mr.. Biddle voiced the opinion
that Mr.. Corcoran's influence with
the department was somewhat over
rated, and declared he felt very
strongly about such implications,
Mr.. Littell has contended that Mr.
Corcoran had been able to summon
Mr.. Biddle to his apartment when
he UittelD had to wait days for an
appointment with his chief.
Mr.. Biddle delivered a warm rec
ommendation of Mr.. Carusi, and
Senator Ferguson, Republican OF
Michigan, led the Attorney General
into review OF the Littell incident
Mr.. Litten was ousted by President
Roosevelt for characterization after
he had sent the Senate War Investi-
eating Committee a memorandum
alleging that the Attorney General
had sought to intervene in a con.
demnation suit on Mr.. Corcoran's
behalf.
After hours of talk about a dozen
lawsuits in which Mr.. Littell, Mr.
Carusi, Mr.. Corcoran or Mr.. Biddle
had taken part, Senator Ferguson
suggested that Mr.. Littell be called
up next week to present his side OF
the affair, but Chairman Russell
Democrat of Georgia, objected.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
 PLAN CONVENTION
Meriden May Get June Gathering; Waterbury
 Definitely Out

A convention of the New Haven county association of the Young Democratic clubs will be held in June it was stated today by Nichol- as Zappone, chairman of the board of directors of the county associa- ton and vice-president of the state association.
 No definite date or locale has yet been prescribed by the association for the event although it seemed likely that Meriden may prove to be the site for holding the meeting. It was previously suggested that Waterbury be chosen as the locale but association authorities decided that too many events of this na- ture have been held here of late. This was in reference to the recent state convention of the Young Democrat clubs held here at The Elton and the Jefferson Day dinner for the 5th congressional district held here by the Democratic party.
 Edward Collins of Meriden, pres- ident of the New Haven County as- sOciation of the Young Democrats is in charge of arrangements for the event. Similar conventions will be held this month by other county associations of the club, dates and locale to be announced later.

11CO mas TOT some ClIIle Deetl anxious to get closer cooperation from the RAF and USAAF in order that air blows on Nazis concen- trations could be co-ordinated with Partisan follcw-up attacks and thereby wreak the greatest havoc possibly upon the enemy. The Allied air forces were aiming a steady series of blows at the Ger mans, but is was reported that Tito would like to see more active air attacks in direct support of his ground forces. A step in this di- rection has been the establishing of an RAF forward post on the Dalmation islands to aid the fight CTS and fighter-bombers on their daily sweeps over the German held coastline.
 Ace Plane SpOtter
 Staff organization on the island is somewhat sketchy but effective. Sitting on a gasoline can on the stormswept crest of 8 rocky hill, a flight lieutenant from Bourne mouth, England, equipped with an ordinary field telephone and a pair of binoculars, identifies every air craft flying over the island, a task at which he proved himself highly successful during the Tunisian cam paign.
 The air-raid warning. system of the Partisans is primitive. To them any single-engined aircraft used to be regarded as a Messerschmitt until Allied air efforts swept the Germans out of the sky. With the coming of friendly planes, their knowledge of aircraft recognition has not improved-they point ex- citedly overhead exclaiming Spit fire" if it is a single -engined plane and anything bigger is gleefully hailed "Liberator." The fact that true Identification would disclose the craft to be Wellington, Marauder, Fortress, Hudson, Boston, or another of the many combat ships flying in the Balkan outer defense ring, means nothing to them "a "Liberator' is any friendly ma chine that seeks the enemy, bent on destruction.
 Girl observers atop the snow capped mountains in the center of the island. upon Spotting plane, fire a warning cartridge. This att tracts attention of other girl Par tisans who pass on the signal by means of flags to battle headquart- CTS where a siren sounds a general alarm. A short blast warns the gunners who are ready to fire at anything until informed by the RAF telephone that the aircraft are friendly. No all clear" is sounded.
 Keeps Mainland Contact
 Other RAP units on the island include Signals, commanded by a flight lieutenant from Presbury, Chesire England, which maintains constant wireless contact with Italian mainland headquarters, also young fighter pilot from Faver- sham, Kent, who acts as administra- tive and co-ordinating officer of the
