Verdict Clears Clerk
OF Army Meat PLOT
Jesse B. Moore, 80, of Falls Church

Jesse B. Moore, 80, of Falls Church,
Va, former receiving clerk for the
Fort Myer Commissary, was found
not guilty late yesterday in District
Court of conspiracy to divert to the
"black market" meat shipped to the
post.
A jury of II men and l woman
returned the verdict in about an
hour after receiving instructions
from Justice Jennings Bailey.
Defense Attorney William H. Col
Inns, in summing up, stressed that
the Government was depending for
a conviction on the testimony of two
colored truck drivers that they had,
without preliminaries, asked Mr..
Moore, Can we do business?" and
that he thereupon had agreed to
enter conspiracy.
The truck drivers, GuSsie Finley
and Samuel Ford, both employed by
Mirman Bros, wholesale meat con-
Germ, were arrested after they de-
livered meat Originally consigned to
Fort Myer to two Washington neigh
borhood meat markets. Both
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
charge before the start of the trial.

Stocks Resume Rise
with Motors and
Rubbers IN Lead
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associsted Press Financial Witt


NEW YORK, Aug. 24-The stock
market today resumed its recovery
push after considerable morning
hesitAncy, with motors and rub
berss leading the upturn by frac-
ions to more than three points.
Spurring automotive and tire
company issues was the action of
WPB In removing all quotas on pro-
duction of new passenger cars, thus
permitting manufacture OF as many
as capacity allows.
Selling developed after the OPEN
ing as accounts were adjusted for
another lengthy holiday. The bulge
OF the day before also inspired in
vestment caution on the idea pur-
chasing may have been overdone
Notwithstanding Frightening peace
time prosperity prospects and speedy
steps taken by the Government to
hasten reconversion. Liquidation
was light, however, and bidders soon
took over control. Declines were in
evidence near the close but gains
predominated. Transfers were above
1,000,0 900 shares.
At peaks for. 1945 were Chrysler
U. s. Rubber, Sears Roebuck, Radio
Corp. and Johns-Manville. Ahead
most of the time were Hudson Mo-
tors. General Motors, .Studebaker
Graham-Paige, Goodrich, Goodyear
Santa Fe, Southern Railway, Ken
necott, Lockheed. U. S. Steel
American Telephone, American
Can, Du Pont, Anaconda and Mont
gomery Ward. Utilities and oils
were narrow.
Bonds were selectively higher.

Ford May Make Offer
To Navy 10 Buy Back
Alexandra Plant

The Ford Motor Co., may seek to
buy back its Alexandra plant which
was purchased by the Government
three years ago, as an addition to
the Naval Torpedo Station, 1t was
disclosed today.
On the other hand, of1cials Of the
station have expressed the opinion
that the plant will continue to be
used for testing torpedoes.
Maj. Henry M. Cunningham, Ford
area manager in Washington, said
the firm plans to operate . sales
and service plant in the area In the
near future. The Alexandra plant
was used for that purpose before its
purchase by the Government.
Although he has not seen the plant
since it was sold to the Government,
Maj. Cunningham said that if it
is found to be usable for sales and
service purposes, an effort viii be
made to buy it back from the Gov.
ernment.
If alterations have made it i'm
practical for its original use or II
the Navy is unwilling to sell it, an
attempt will be made to locate an
other site, Maj. Cunningham said.
The plant has been used by the
Government for the testing and
ranging Of torpedoes. Although the
Alexandria station has discontinued
the manufacture Of these weapons,
it is still engaged in testing torpe-
does made in other plants through
out the country.
Torpedo Station of1icials said the
plant was greatly enlarged after
its purchase, adding that its use
by the Government is expected to
continue since torpedoes will con-
tinue to be manufactured in peace
time for training and experimental
purposes.
