lin Final Accounting

E Bonds still were tagging nearly
100000 behind the $48,000,00
quota in the Mighty Seventh" War
Loan campaign yesterday. but VIII
mer j. Waller, campaign chairman,
said he has hopes this deficit might
be wiped out when final totals are
complete.
War loan officials have asked
all bond salesmen to turn in final
sales reports tomorrow without fail.
The accounting period closed yes
terday. To get true picture of
the Mighty Seventh" reports must
be turned in tomorrow to avoid
confusion with normal sales reports,
Mr.. Waller said.
Theater booths have been given
extra help to tabulate E Bond sales
made in connection with the Fourth
of July "Cavalcade of Freedom" at
the Monument Grounds. These re-
ports will be made tomorrow.
Mr.. Waller said tabulation of
some sales made early in the drive
also might aid in pushing the
"problematical" E Bond total over
the top.
The total of bonds sold during the
seven-week drive, SO far tabulated,
was 1924, 100000. This is 98.5 per
cent above the $113,000,000 quota.
OF this more than $l46, 100000 was
in corporation bonds. Corporations
oversubscribed their S43,000,0 900
quota by 2412 per cent.
The individual bonds other than
E series amounted to $36, TOO, 900
66.8 per cent above the $4,000, 900
quota.
The E bond sales Of 10000, 900
are only 85.2 per cent OF the $48,-
000,0 quota.
The final District figures will be
announced late next week.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau at 7:30 pm, Tuesday, in a
Nation wide broadcast will an
nounce the results of the national
drive for $4,000, 100000. A week
ago this quota already had been
oversubscribed heavily. A total OF
s23, ,561, 100000 bonds had been
bought, breaking all previous loan
records. Heavy national sales have
been recorded since then.
E bonds were tagging nationally
at last reports, however, week ago
only $3,561 100000 Of the $4,000
600, 900 E bond quota had been met.
Maryland has reached its $14S,-
000, 900 quota for War Bond sales to
individuals, Charles S. Garland
chairman of the State War Finance
Committee, said yesterday at Balti-
more. He announced that overall
sales totaled $476, 800 900 or 207
per cent Of the States quota.
The committee chairman pointed
out, however, that the States total
E Bond sales of $44 4,00o, 900 still are

Randolph Completes
Measure 10 Promote
u. ). Workers Safety

Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, yesterday
completed the draft of measure
designed to force each Government
agency to adopt more or better oc-
cupational safety programs for their
employees and announced he would
place the bill before the House to-
morrow.
Refusing to be persuaded to aban-
don his legislative plan, he made
public another letter he had re-
ceived from the United States En-
ployes' Compensation Commission
repeating its opposition to his bill
but stating 1t gladly" would work
with him and others to develop
practicable means" of achieving
greater occupational safety for Gov
ernment workers.
The Randolph bill would amend
the Budget and Accounting Act
so as to require each department
and agency to submit its own budget
estimates to cover costs of compen-
sation claims for injuries and deaths
II also would require each agency
to justify its budget request, to
itemize compensation payments and
to submit report on measures 1t
had adopted to protect its employees
from injuries.
High Accident Rate Charged.
Mr.. Randolph had charged that
some Government agencies had ac-
cident records much worse than
some OF the large private industries
and he contended that their records
should be much better because Sc
large a proportion of Government
workers are not engaged in hazard
Gus occupations.
The commission promptly issued
denial, submitting reports to show
that the average" accident rate in
the Federal service was below that
of private industry. Mr.. Randolph
then made public specific data as tc
certain Government agencies ano
big industries to support his point
In the commissions latest letter
signed by it's chairman, Mrs. Jewell
w. Swofford, explained that the
commissions first letter had been
prompted" by a news article with
headline 1t believed carries q
rather clear implication of a bad
safety record for the Federal service
as compared with private industry.
First Impression Wrong.
She said she had not realized Mr.
Randolph was comparing specific
cases instead of averages and added
However, in the light of the diff
ferent comparison made and since
it now appears that your conclu-
sions were formed after study OF
comprehensive data on this subject,
the commissions first impression
obviously was erroneous"
In conclusion Chairman Swofford
said:
1.-The commission shares the hope
that the substantial improvement in
the experience for the Federal Gov
ernment over the past several years
will continue to the point where the
record for the Government as a
whole will compare with the best
in any private industry ."

In 1888 he was appointed by MT

the United States Court of Appeals

Unified Control of Reich
Urqed by British Press

LONDON, July 7 (P).-Unified Al
lied control over all Germany was
urged by four leading British news
papers today in simultaneous edi-
torialS opposing splitting the Reich
into four zones of occupation, with
different policies in each zone.
Declaring the dismemberment of
Germany was creating grave eco
nomic and political problems, all
insisted the question of an occupa-
tional government be threshed out
at the coming Potsdam Conference
of the Big Three.
Maintenance of German unity
under supervision of the principal
powers and through their joint
action has become a first condition
of the unity of Europe" the Times
said.
"A serious responsibility rests on
the United States, Britain and Rus
Sia to work out in common new and
constructive policies for that grad
ual rehabilitation, political and eco
nomic, of a defeated Germany
which cannot be ignored or left to
chance without mourning the gravest
perils."
The Conservative Yorkshire Post
said continuation of the Reich
splitup would mean a shortage of
industrial goods in some parts and
of food in others, with great curtail-
'ment of Germany's capacity to
effect reparations.

have to be further Withdrawals of
sleeping cars for their use, perhaps
within the next month"
ODT explained that the $50 miles
specified in it's order will be meas
ured by the shortest rail line over
which regular passenger service is
operated between two points.
Sc Per Cent of Sleeping Cars.
With the addition of the 895 sleep
ing cars, troops will have available
for their exclusive use about two
thirds of all sleeping cars in the
United States. The order affects
sleeping cars operated by the Pull
man Co. as well as those owned and
operated by some individual rail-
roads.
Chair cars and diners operated by
Pullman are not affected.
Col. johnson observed that 'I am
mindful that this action will result
in considerable inconvenience to
civilians, but on the other hand I
feel they will cheerfully accept the
situation when they realize that it
is one way in which they can make
another important contribution to
the war effort"
While the order forbids use of
Pullmans on scheduled runs of less
than $50 miles, it does not prevent
civilians from taking space for
shorter trips if the accommodations
are not being used and are thus
available on long-haul trains, ODTI
said.
Little Space Available.
The Association of American Rail-
roads reported, however, that very
little such space would be available.
since most of the accommodations
would be spoken for by long-faul
passengers at the main terminal
points where long-haul trains start
their runs.
Soldiers on furlough leave, or on
trips other than organized troop
will be no better off for
Pullman space than civilians on
trips of less than 450 miles, because
the sleeping cars simply will not be
on short hauls. .

Security Pact 10 GET
Right Of Way Over
Other Senate Issues
BY J. A. oLEARY.

The United Nations Charter will
have right of way over four other
problems still on the Senate's door
step, once the Foreign Relations
Committee begins hearings on the
world organization agreement Mon
day
Other issues that will be worked
in during the next few weeks only if
they do not slow down the Charter
include:
The deadlock over the Fair En-
ployment Practic Committee, which
has kept a $752 100000 civilian war
agencies bill tied up since June 80.
Breton Plan Awaits. =:
The business tax bill, which passed
the House yesterday and now goes
to the Senate Finance Committee.
The Breton Woods world none
tary plan, closely related to the
charter, in that it aims 10 eliminate
economic friction between nations
by stabilizing currencies and pro-
noting cooperation in rehabilita-
ton.
A $500 10000 postwar Federal aid
airport construction program
Although Nicaragua achieved the
distinction yesterday of being the
first signatory to ratify the San
Francisco charter. the United States
still could be the first of the big
powers to do so if present plans to
expedite its consideration in the
Senate can be adhered to.
Hearings Set Monday.
Chairman Connally of the Foreign
Relations Committee will call the
hearings to order at 10:30 am. Mon
day and will hold morning and aft
ernoon sessions. Leaders have been
encouraged to hope that one week
may be long enough to complete the
testimony, although they allowed
themselves a longer period origi-
nally.
This was indicated yesterday when
Chairman Wagner of the Banking
Committee filed in the Senate the
formal report in favor of the Bret
ton Woods bill, and gave notice he
would ask the Senate to begin de-
bate on the bill Monday, July Is.
Senator Connally interrupted him
to say:
Il desire to suggest to the Sena-
tor that if he expects to get the
Breton Woods matter up soon I
very much wish he would get 1t up
next week, because next week we
shall start hearings in the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations on
the United Nations treaty, and we
are hoping to conclude the hearings
perhaps in week. If we do, we shall
wish to come back to the Senate
and go to work on the treaty in the
Senate. If the Senator sets his bill
for the 10th, which will be Monday
week, 1t might interfere with our
plans. l was wondering if the SEN
ator could not have his bill taken up
the coming week, starting the 9th
Why could he not do that?"

Chief Of Espionage
InI. 6. Farben Firm
Held for Questioning
By the Associated Press.

HOECHST, Germany, July 7.-Dr
Max Ilgner, described by United

espionage activities of I. G. Farben-
industrie, was held today for ques-
tioning into the affairs of the huge
company whose making powers
the American Group Control Coun-
Gil terms a major threat to the

pletion of Army seizure of the man
agement, assets and plants of the
organization in the American zone
of occupied Germany.
Col. Edwin S. Pillsbury, Berkeley,
Calf, who directed the seizure late
Thursday of the "a I. G. Farben
plants in the American zone, said
his office had information showing
that I. G. Farben, through DR..
Ilgners agents, carried on indus
trial espionage throughout the
world. DR.. Ilgner, he said, was one
of the most active agents.
DR.. Ilgner, an ardent Nazi, was
head of I. G. Farben'S central finan-
cial administration known as zEFI,
a contraction of Zentralf1nanzver-
waltung, which handled the indus
try's financial transactions and con-
trolled it's foreign currency credits.
I'VE also have information that
there were Nazi agents on the I. G.
Farben payroll posing as Salesmen,"
Col. Pillsbury said. Their real jobs
were to spread propaganda and
carry out other espionage for the
NaziS."
1t. Col Robert Parcival of Rich
mond, Va, permitted a few hundred
workers to return to the plant at
Hoechst to produce essential phar-
maceutical goods, while at Darn
stadt, Capt. Charles Smith of San
Francisco took over a synthetic
