hope to clear the name of the WAC
sergeant involved. She had nothing
to do with this and is innocent of
any beSmirching of her name"
He told me he was not married, "
Sergt. Koulouvaris said in state
ment. "On February IA, 1945, We an
nounced to all of our friends that
we were engaged.
I'VE left England for France late
that month and almost Immediately
started making plans to get mar
ried. We filled out some Army forms
making application to marry.
This form states that to tie
best knowledge available that the
applicants are free to marry. Later
he informed me he had had a wife
but that she died May II, l945, in
an accident. I was upset and it
was not until some time after that
that our plans to get married were
renewed.
1T was not until Friday evening,
July 27, when word was received
that some one was claiming to be
Mrs. Carl G.. Schultz of Chicago that
we had any indication the we'd
ding would be postponed"
The sergeant said that although
she and Schultz were married at a
civil ceremony last Monday, they
had planned to make our home
together only after the military
ceremony"
In Chicago, Mrs. Ruth Priscilla
Schultz said she first learned of the
approaching marriage in a news
dispatch.
"Only a few days ago I had a
letter from my husband saying he
was being sent to the Pacific and
would not pe home to see me and
the children. I've cabled him to
try and straighten this out" Mrs.
Schultz said.
Mrs. Schultz declared she would
stick" with her husband even
though he must be out of his head"
She said she would refuse to divorce
him and added:
1--WE sent him a letter a week
for the last six weeks and received
a $1OO check from him only last
week. I feel sorry for the WAC who
has been taken in by the whole

charge that Eastern steel interests
and railroads, interested in the
long haul from the East, want to
shut down the two plants.
Mr.. Kaiser built Fontana with
funds borrowed from RFC as well
as its ore lines, and developed
coal mines to feed the mill. He
has title to 1t. The cost was $685.
900, 900, of which Mr.. Kaiser, out
of shipyard profits, has repaid $14,-
100000. He said that $50,000,0 900 in
principal payments will have been
made by the time his ship contracts
run out.
But, Mr.. Kaiser's RFC loan calls
for complete liquidation in 10 years.
More favorable terms must be OBJ
tanned for him to retain and operate
Fontana profitably in peacetime
competition. A CIO official charged
that Eastern steel interests, fearful
of this Wetsern competition, were
waiting around with an offer for the
mill twice as attractive as Mr.. Kaiser
could afford to make. If success
full in getting the property, he said,
the interests would lock the plant.
Gov. Warren thought that Mr..
Kaiser and others in similar posi-
tions deserved special consideration
from the Government in the Fon-
tana matter, particularly since he
had conceived the project and in
vested so heavily in it. He added
that California's food canning in
dustry alone could use Fontana's
capacity output of 100000 tons Of
finished steel a year.
The Geneva mill at Provo with an
annual capacity Of 100000 tons OF
finished steel, is strictly Govern
ment-owned. 1t Is operated by
United States Steel Co. interests, on
contract with the Government. Mr..
Kaiser has proposed merger Of
Kaiser Co. with Colorado Fuel &
Iron and Western Pipe & Steel for
operation Of both steel plants.
United States Steel has shown
interest in both plants, but has in
dicated that to operate them, 1t
would have to shut down a cor
responding amount Of steel capacity
in the East
In any event, the industrial fu-
ture of California, and of the West
is closely tied to the future Of those
steel plants.

New Phenomena Seen
In Pictures Of Solar
Corona During Eclipse
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-Scien-
tific photographs of the eclipse
of the sun July show the source
Of illumination of the suns corona
as definitely two-fold," DR.. Roy K.
Marshall, director of" Fels Planet
arium of the Franklin Institute, said
today in a preliminary report.
He said the expedition to VOL
seley, Canada, accomplished its
purposes-to obtain a permanent
record of the visual appearance Of
the corona and to check the possible
differences in appearance between
red and green coronal emissions"
the light sources.
Using twin astrographic cameras,
DR.. Marshall used a red filter on one
and a green filter on the other. Al
though astronomically strong and
with measurable characteristics,
the red and green negatives were
not strong enough to enable photo
graphic reproduction, so DR.. Mar
shall made sketches showing the
coronal detail.
1.-THE Green Corona" he said, mot
unlike a fried egg in appearance"
disclosed broad, equatorial
streamer" of light extending at least
100000 miles - short compared
with a $4,000, 0,oo0-mile spike" Of
light seen during the eclipse Of
1873. One ray about 100000 miles
wide, he said, appeared to be a
"prolongation of sharp petal" OBJ

the Evening Bulletin-Franklin In
stitute- University of Pennsylvania
expedition.
THE emission jets and petals
should differ from one photograph
to another, depending upon the
color of light used, for one material
one kind of poor bedeviled atom
with many of its electrons missing
-emits the red radiation, another
the green, and so on" DR.. Marshall
said.
Further study of photographs and
data obtained by other astronomers
may produce evidence, DR.. Marshall
indicated, whether the corosal phe-
nomenon is due to titanic changes
of material or merely light pull
sationS along the jets and stream
ers."

Conclusions

!. Although progress Is being
made, reconversion has not pro-
ceeded as swiftly as it should have
following the cessation of hostili-
ties in Europe. Retarding factors
include delay in planning, delay in
announcing and making cutbackS,
lack of both raw and semi-finished
materials and tools, insufficient in
formation available for industry to
make plans far enough in advance,
and lack of manpower in some key
places.
2. There has not been sufficient
help from the Government to in
duStries and business desiring to re-
convert. This lack is particularly
noticeable in connection with prob
lens which cut across the jurisdic-
tional lines of existing agencies.
These require the active interven-
ton Of top agency with power to
get results. The Office of War Mo-
bilization and Reconversion, acting
too often as conciliator rather
than an executive, fails to fill this
need.
8. The progress which has been
achieved is due in large part to the
War Production Board, which
promptly revoked a large number
of orders and regulations and open
ended the controlled-materials plan.
4. The slow pace of reconversion
and the failure to release large sur
pluses by this time, taken together
with the continued high income Of
the public and the return of large
numbers of soldiers, creates an in
creasing danger of imitation due to
the large amounts of money in cir
culation and the relatively small
amount of purchasable goods.
Little Help From Army.
s. Widespread unemployment has
not developed to this point mainly
because of the numbers of workers
and veterans taking vacations, the
backlog of labor needed by civilian
industry and the slowness with
which war production is being cut
back.
6. The fact that we have escaped
serious unemployment up to this
time should not mislead us into the
belief that all is well. The Army
has a great reservoir of manpowel
which it is very slow in releasing
Industry requires relatively insig-
nificant portion of this manpower te
aid in speeding reconversion, but ur
to this point has received very little
help in the form of releases from
the Army. A notable example Il
the lumber industry which is unable
to produce the lumber required II
practically every portion Of the
country because of lack Of man.
power. Adequate supplies of Lumber
would help greatly to develop
larger reconversion program. As
result of not having the relativel!
small numbers of men now needed
industry is being retarded in recon
verting with the danger that it ma!

Specifically mentioned as indus
tries needing such workers were
numbering, transportation, coal min
ing, cotton textiles and ito limited,
but important extent, steel"
The committee will open hear
ing tomorrow into the coal mining
situation. Secretary of the Interior
Ickes will be the first witness.
The hearing is expected to re-
volve largely about the question of
getting more manpower Mr.. Ickes
has urged release of coal miners
from the Army
The Army, however, has taken a
general stand against release of
soldiers by vocations. 1t contends
this would interfere with operation
of the point system for discharges
and damage Army morale.

needs for more men, Mr.. Byrnes re-
called that Gen. Hershey had ad-
vised him that If the agricultural

background of the long g-standine
Southern freight controversy
shaped up as a strong possibility
today when President Roosevelt
nominated Charles D. Mahaffie
of the District and j. Haden ALL
dredge of Alabama for reappoint-
ment to the Interstate Com

Southerners in Congress have been
conducting a campaign to replace
Mr.. Mahaffie with an appointee who
understands their railroad prob
lens and supporter of the veteran
commissioner have threatened to re-
taliate by opposing confirmation of
Mr.. Alldredge if opposition to Mr..
Mahaffie is sustained.
Reports have been current for
several days that the President has
taken cognizance of the situation
and had decided simply to renom-
mate the two men and let the Sem

new appointment in Mr.. Mahaffie S
place.
Discrimination Charged.
The basis of the fight is the con-
tention of Southern interests that
railroads have Disseminated against
their section to the advantage OF
the North and East in fixing freight
