BY the Associated Press.

REDWOOD CITY, Calf, Sept. IS
Warren K. Billings, the little
matchmaker who spent % years in
prison for the 1916 Preparedness
Day parade bombing, got his citi-
zenship back yesterday except for q
court formality.
Superior Judge Maxwell McNutt
who was Mr.. Billings attorney dur
ing the sensational trial which fol-
lowed the San Francisco blast, ap-
proved the certificate for rehabilita-
tion.
Judge McNutt remarked that Mr.
Billings had been sent to prison on
entirely ridiculous circumstantial
evidence"
Il know it means lot to you
Warren" the judge said. But ii
also means a lot to the State to be
given chance to square itself"
That's the way I feel" said At
torney James Brennan of San Fran
cisco, who once prosecuted Mr.. Bill
tngs but who appeared as his coun-
sell
Il hold no malice for the opposite
side" Mr.. Billings said quietly. Il
realize they had to do their duty
His sentence was commuted in
1889 by the then Gov. Culbert L.
Olson, who also pardoned his CO.
defendant, Thomas Mooney, who
died some time later.
Judge McNutt will submit the pc
tition to Gov. Earl Warren, who in
turn will give it to the State Su-
preme Court for final approval.

Ickes Reaches London
To. Renegotiafe Oil
Treaty With British
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. 15.-Secretary o1
Interior Ickes arrived here today te
renegotiate the British American oil
treaty as official British circles ex-
pressed concern over Russia's de-
nand for a large share of Austrian
oil.
Mr.. Ickes is expected to discuss
the Austrian oil problem during his
stay.
Vienna dispatches said completion
OF an agreement between Soviet
Russia and the provisional Austrian
government of Premier Karl Renner
for Soviet development of the Zis-
tersdorf oil field, 28 miles northeast
of Vienna, was believed near.
Official British circles said they
expected Russia's demand for the
Austrian oil to come up before the
meeting of the foreign ministers Of
Great Britain, China, France, the
United States and Russia now in
session here.
Russia's deal with the Renner gov
eminent, according to the best avail
able information, was made without
consultation with the United States,
Britain or France which all share
control of Austria with the Soviets.
The Renner government is not rec
ognized by Britain and the United

No direct comment on the Ford
shutdown was forthcoming from ton
ofdcials of the union.
Although all production has ceased
in Ford plants, still at work were
maintenance men, those employed
on reconversion and ONCE workers,
Before the layoffs, the firm employed
some 100 900 persons.
Biggest One Is First.
Walter P. Reuther, UAW vice
president, stated General Motors
was chosen for the test case in the
unions wage demand because it is
the biggest corporation" He as
serted General Motors dominates
the industry and calls the tune on
industry policy matters"
The program, as outlined by Mr..
Thomas. Mr.. Reuther and George
F. Adde's, UAW secretary treasurer
would concentrate the unions "en-
tire firepower" on one of the auto
industry's big Three" The other
two thus would be given assistance
to get out in front"
Further, the union was deter
mined, they said, to accept no COM
promise offers of It's 80 per cent
demands.
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that this
does not mean that every worker
would receive a 30 per cent hike in
his current earnings. He said the
industry's wage disbursements would
rise 30 per cent. The general in
crease, he explained, would be split,
after union deductions, on a math-
ematically equal basis among all the
workers, regardless Of their skill or
present earnings.
Industry Leaders Silent.
Mr.. Reuther said the unions un-
compromising demand for 80 per
cent resulted from scientific study
Of the industry's financial status. He
said the industry can easily absorb
a 80 per cent increase" in wages.
Mr.. Thomas added that the union
had no intention of putting the auto
industry out of business.
Industry leaders declined to COM
ment until the UAW- -CIO presented
Its demand formally.

WAS Attempt at Humor
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-Prof. Harold
Laski, chairman of the Labor
party's National Executive Com
mittee, said today that his recent
remark in Stockholm about Britain
being a second-class power was
just "a poor attempt at humor"
which some critics had misinter-
preted.
Il was discussing the new world
organization and I emphasized the
urgency of making it a success, :"
Prof Laski said. "I added that
I did not think it could succeed
merely as a junta of the great
powers, with the smaller powers like
Sweden permitted to look through
the door.
Il then said that perhaps Britain
might not be regarded by the
Swedes as second-class power.
That was no more than a poor at
tempt at humor-and I do not think
any one in the audience misunder-
stood what I was trying, no doubt
inadequately, to make clear"

order. which precipitated the strike,
the board should ask President Tru-
man to order the Army to seize the
plant.

handlers at the Acme Poultry Corp,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l5.-A
small fleet of combat and transport
vessels steamed triumphantly under
the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday,
bringing approximately q 600 Army
and Navy men from Pacific zones.
Fifteen hundred additional veterans
landed at San Diego.
With 3,71os Navy veterans brought

At Seattle yesterday the battleship

They will be sped home for dis
charge.
The 1900 men landed at San

stained battleship Maryland,
pressed into service at Pearl Harbor
as troop transport. The veterans
are home for discharge, leave, medi-
cal treatment, or transfer to new
duty.
Hospital cases comprised 6O2 men
suffering ailments ranging from
combat fatigue to battle wounds.
Dinah Shore, screen actress, en-
tertained the cheering servicemen
with a half dozen songs as the

which entered Tokyo Bay with Ad-
miral Halsey, the carrier San ia
cinto, flagship of the Texas Navy;

Home is overcrowded and lacks per-
sonnel to handle problem cases.
Most OF THEM are charged with
HOUSEKEEPING or auto theft.
Asked why there was sudden in
crease in referrals to the Jail during
June, when the Receiving Home has
been crowded throughout the war,
Mr.. Huff said it was due to the par
ticular circumstances in each case.
Today there were IA boys lolling
on beds, playing cards and reading
comic books in the Negro dormitory
at the Jail On the floor above two
white boys sat in another dormitory.
The door between their dormitory
and that of older prisoners was open.
Mr.. Gill said that, while every eff
fort Is made to segregate the juve-
niles, one officer must handle dormi-
tories on three floors. The only
activity for the boys is one hour CT
exercise in the courtyard each day,
he added. One of the boys had been
there since July 7.
1.-TWO or three days with nothing
to do is bad enough" Mr.. Gill COM
mented. eff they are going to be
here six or eight weeks, they must
have some constructive activity"
Trials Delayed.
The boys, 16 and II years of age,
all awaiting trial. An increasing
number of complaints and the
shortage of case workers and steno-
graphic help have delayed their
cases in Juvenile Court, Judge Fay
L. Bentley said.
Miss Virginia Clary, director of
social work for Juvenile Court,
pointed out that juveniles waiting
trial can be released on bond.
Either their families do not have
the money or there is no family
situation to which they could be
returned. This accounts for the
higher proportion of Negro boy in
mates, she said.
The boy there since July 7 was
in court last week, but his lawyer
asked for continuance. Another
boy has been referred to the crimi-
nal division of Municipal Court.
If the holding of juveniles at the
Jail is to continue, they will need
a visiting teacher, reading material,
games and some type of manual
work to keep them busy, Mr.. Gill
said. He has asked the Council of
Social Agencies for help.
Mr.. Driscoll and Mr.. Huff doubted
that anything could be done to
decrease the number of referrals to
the Jail until the new Receiving
Home near Gallaudet College is con-
structed. Mr.. Driscoll said he would
ask the Juvenile Court to speed the
hearing of cases. Mr.. Huff said that
an effort to provide a constructive
program for the boys would be made.

situation was by no means en-
couraging. Rather than being. as
planned, at 10000 feet waiting for
the Jap in position where altitude
could be converted to a fast dive
out OF the sun, my section had been
caught, by scant few seconds,
in the least desirable of all tactical
positions in aerial combat. We
were below and in front OF the
enemy and had only four aircraft

Mitchell. too, had to scramble for
his assigned post at 10000 feet

the same altitude as the admiral IS

Mitchell led his covering pilots in
their rocketing climb for altitude

Undiscovered by Japs.
Neither Mitchell's nor my Sec

we saw them. Although, during
those two minutes, did lose Holmes

that he could not release his belly

Why no one in either bomber OF

book that will never be written.

he was from the nearest American

hated Yanks.
Japs Shot Americans.
Just at the moment Barber and
I reached the enemy's approximate
altitude at a point miles to his
right and about mile in front OF
him, his Zero cover spotted us. They
must have yelled a warning over the
radio because a second later their
belly tanks began to drop away "a
sure sign they had seen us and were

|BarkIey Expected
Ito Direct joint
Pearl Harbor Inquiry
Py the Associated Press.

An administration wheelhorse
probably will bang the gavel in
a Forthcoming investigation by
10 congressional lawyers of the
Pearl Harbor debacle.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
told some colleagues he might not
be able to serve, but Indications
are strong he will accept chairman
ship of the joint Senate House In
vestigating Committee.
He thus will be in a position to
direct the course of an investiga-
ton many legislators think will
have bearing on the 1946 and
l948 political campaigns.
Senate colleagues who will serve
with Senator Barkley are Senators
George, Democrat, of Georgia; Luz
cas-. Democrat, OF Illinois; Ferguson.
Republican, of Michigan and Brew
ster, Republican Of Maine. House
members are Representatives Coop
er, Democrat, of Tennessee; Clark
Democrat, of North Carolina: MUIR
ply, Democrat of Pennsylvania;
keefe, Republican, of Wisconsin and
Gearhart. Republican of California.
Partisan Interest Denied.
Both sides disclaim any intent to
let partisan politics creep into the
inquiry. But the selection of mem
bers-all of them lawyers before
they entered Congress - followed
strictly party lines.
Senators Barkley and Lucas and
Representatives Cooper and Murphy
are New Dealers. Senator George
and Mr.. Clark are Southeners
who don't always subscribe fully to
administration views on domestic
issues. But where it is a case of
Democrats VS.. Republicans, they are
Democrats.
Senator George won't make I'D his
mind until Monday whether to ac-
cept membership on the commit
tee. He is chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee and there is a
tax reduction bill coming along
which will demand a lot of his time.
10 PICK counsel.
Among the Republicans, Mr..
Keefe and Mr.. Gearhart are former
county prosecutors. Senator Fergu-
son, former judge, served as a
one-man grand jury in Detroit be-
fore election to the Senate. He and
Senator Brewster know the inquiry
ropes from membership on the Sem
ate War Investigating Committee.
With 10 members who know their
way around in a courtroom, the
committee still must pick a legal
counsel when it organizes, probably
next week.
Senator Brewster told a reporter
that the selection of this official will
demonstrate to him just how i'm
partial the inquiry is likely to be.
Fulton, Hughes Suggested.
"We Republicans are going to
watch that closely he said. THE
committee should hire an outstand-
ing man for this job"
Senator George thought the same
thing. He said at least two widely
known and competent legal assist
ants should be selected.
House Minority Leader Martin
suggested Charles Evans Hughes,
retired former Chief Justice, a Re-
publican. Democrats talked some
of trying to get Hugh Fulton. for
mer counsel for the War Investigat-
ing Committee and friend of Pres
ident Truman.
