Pittsburgh Strikers
Make New Offer as
Union Split Grows
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA new
independent union offer in the
power strike which has laid heavy
hand on this industrial center for
two weeks was slated for presenta-
ton to Duquesne Light Co. officials
today as department stores decided
to reopen and a rebellious group
within the union pushed plans for
recognition.
George L. Mueller, president Of
the independent union Of about
$500 workers, said his groups pro-
posal would be secret until "the
company looks 1t over"
The Golden Triangle'S largest de-
partment stores, closed more than a
week since union pickets brought a
stoppage of street car service, ar
ranged to open on limited basis
with emergency power generators.
Store executives said q big shop
pers' famine" existed and their
$4,000 employees were concerned
about loss of wages.
Parochial Schools Closed.
City police took early measures
to handle traffic jams on streets
crowded by automobiles full of pas
sengers who normally ride street
cars.
Another strike development was
the closing of about dozen paro-
chial schools. Church authorities
said lack of trolley service was the
main factor. Public schools re-
manned open. .,
While Pittsburghers struggled
with strike inconveniences and Fed
eral conciliators sought peace. the
revolt within the independent
unions ranks gained momentum
with the dissenting faction-esti-
mated by its leaders at TOO men,
bers-joining the AFL- United Mine
Workers Union, District so, and pc
titioning the National Labor Rela-
tions Board for recognition as a
collective bargaining agency.
New Vote Is Urged.
Regional NLRB Director Frank
M. Keller said an investigation was
under way to determine qualifica-
tions of the group.
A mass meeting of about 1,500
citizens, called by the newly organ
lied Civic Community Committee
yesterday, urged a new vote by
union membership on the question
OF arbitration. The company says
1T stands ready to arbitrate the wage
dispute but the union has repeatedly
refused.
The union struck IA days ago ON
demands for a 20 per cent wage in
crease to bring the basic average
salary to $141 from $1.18. The
company has offered a S per cent
increase.

Hartman Takes Oath
AS Cabinet Member;
Calls for Production

w. AVereIl Hartman LOOK over
today as Secretary of Commerce
with the assurance that the depart
ment will do what it can to over
come the serious shortages which
confront the country.
The former Ambassador to Eng
land, succeeding Henry A. Wallace,
did not allude, except in general
terms, to the international situa-
tion.
1t was the expression of Mr.. Wal
laces views on international disputes
which led to his removal by Presi-
dent Truman.
After he was sworn in by Chief
Justice Vinson, Mr.. Hartman read
for the newsreels part of statement
in which he said:
I'VE have been finding serious
shortages of basic materials and
products and commodities. To over
come these conditions productions
more and balanced production-in
all these lines Is Of fundamental i'm
portance."
Production Is Basic Problem.
During the war the people of
this country showed their ability to
attain enormous productivity and to
develop through science new, won-
derful products and methods now
available for peace. Our basic prob
lem Is to direct our abilities to pro-
duction to meet the peacetime needs
of all of our people and, through
trade and sound financial assistance,
to enable the people OF other coun-
tries to rebuild the disastrous de-
struction of war, increase their
standard Of living and thereby pro-
vide expanded markets for our
products"
Mr.. Hartman told the group of
high Government of1icials and bu-
reau heads gathered for his induc-
ton.
Staple and rising production is
the only way to maintain high level
Of employment as we'll as to have
available more goods for the secur-
ity and better life of everyone More
and stable production Is the most
solid foundation for the prosperity
Of this country, as well as the world
People the world over are looking
to us for leadership In solving the
economic, as well as the political
problems that face us all.
There is, I believe, little differ
ence of opinion in the United States
as to these fundamental objectives
but there are naturally wide disa-
greements as to the methods by
which they can or should be at
tanned.
1.-THE Department of Commerce
has as its basic responsibility to as
sist the sound development of the
industry, production and trade OF
the United States. 1t has the obli-
cation to play its part in carrying
out the policies of the Congress, to
cooperate with other departments
and agencies Of the Government to
meet these fundamental objectives. 81
President Truman was represent
ed at the ceremony by Admiral
William d. Leahy, chief of staff to
the President, and Maj. Gen. Harry
Vaughan, the Chief Executives mill
tary aide and adviser on veterans
affairs. Cabinet. members pres
ent included Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder, Secretary of War
Patterson, Attorney General Clark,
Postmaster General Hannegan. Act
ing Secretary of State Acheson and
Secretary of Interior Krug.
Mrs. Hartman stood nearby as
her husband took the oath. Mr..
Hartman, who was Ambassador to
Moscow before he went to London, is
son of the railroad magnate and
was prominent in the Government
during the Roosevelt administra-
ti0ns
Evening star., 1946-10-07


late President Roosevelt was carry
ing the State.
Another War Veteran.
Edward j. Dewitt of st. Paul is
carrying Republican hopes in the
4th district against Representative
Starkey, Farmer-Labor- Democrat.
Dewitt, a young Irishman, is vet
eran of the war and was an as
sistant attorney general until he
became a candidate for the House.
He is a good campaigner. and while
Mr.. Starkey won the district two
years ago by about 5000 votes,
Dewitt is given at least an even
chance.
The attempted consolidation of
the F'armer-Labor Party and the
Democratic Party has not been a
great success and the party is thor
oughly demoralized. In recent
weeks there has been row over
the collection of campaign contri-
buttons, with a representative OF
the Democratic National Committee
seeking to take over, while other
collectors have been in the field.
Hard to Find Candidates.
The primary election, in which
Gov. Thye defeated Senator Ship
stead for the Republican sena-
torial nomination and Judge Young
dahl defeated Hjalmar Petersen for
the gubernatorial nomination. was
virtually an election to these offices.
The opposition had a difficult time
finding candidates to run against
them-and the candidates named
were, to all intents and purposes.
drafted. Prof. Jorgenson has never
before been a candidate for public
office. Mr.. Baker is editor of a
newspaper in Elbow Lake. At one
time he was Speaker of the Mime
sofa House, when the Farmer-Labor
Party was in control.
This State, it is confidently pre-
dicted, is going Republican in a
big way in l948-the presidential
election year. The Truman admin
istration is highly unpopular, and
while the meat shortage is not yet
so pinching here as it has been in
the East, many of the housewives
are up in arms.
The Truman-Wallace split over
foreign policy, with Mr.. Wallace
seeking to appease communist Rus
STA, has made no hit. Indeed, Mr..
Wallace's attitude has been painful
to Mayor Hubert Humphrey of Min
neapolis, who has been regarded as
a possible opponent for Senator Ball
in 194S. The Mayor has been
booster for Mr.. Wallace, but he stood
by the administration against Mr..
Wallace in this foreign policy row,
which has panied some OF his left
wing friends in Minneapolis.
The Republican organization is
distinctly Stassen organization. 1t
hopes to roll up a big Republican
majority on November 5, believing
that by so doing it will enhance the
prestige of former Gov. Harold E.
Stassen, who is Minneasota's choice
for the Republican presidential
nomination. Mr.. Stassen himself is
actively campaigning for the 1948
nomination and has recently been on
the Pacific Coast, making speeches.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7. - DR..
Robert M. w. Kempner, chief of in
vestigation and research for the
American prosecutor at the Nuern-
berg trials, say the court is bound
there will be no recovery of the
bodies" of the II Nazi war criminals
sentenced to be hanged.
DR.. Kempner said in an interview
yesterday at his Philadelphia home
that secret unmarked graves will be
allotted to each of the doomed men
to avoid fanatical pilgrimages by
still ardent Nazis" or recovery of the
bodies such as followed Mussolini's
death"
These war criminals are going to
be hanged instead of shot. Dr. Kemp
ner explained, because the court is
most anxious to show the world
that these war lords are just ordi-
nary criminals.

AAF ACE FACES
 3-5 YEARS FOR
 BRANDING LASS

BOSTON, July 29 - Army It. Thomas Farrell today was sentenc- ed to three to five years in state prison for branding 18year-old Helen Stavrou, but sentence was stayed after defense counsel an- nounced he would appeal to the State Supreme Court.
 Farrell, who served 35 missions in the Pacific, was released on bail set at $15,000 in cash or $2O,000 surety.
 The 25-year-old decorated Army flier was sentenced in Suffolk Su- perior Court specifically to three concurrent terms of three to five years on charges of assault and bat tery with lighted cigarette, with a razor blade and assault with in- tent to maim, cripple and disfigure.
 Farrell, wearing his Army uni form and decorations, showed no emotion as he heard sentence.

he did not profit from those con- nections.
 DiShed Out ReckleSSly
 At that time, Warren said, he gave the House Committee in stance after instance of inept and inefficient contracting officers who were 'dishing out and giving away the property and the money of the United States with reckless aban- don"
 In discussing the cost-plus sys- tenn, Warren asked:
 What incentive remains to eX- ercise the American genius for eff ficiency when the most far-fetched and extravagant outlays are reim- bursed, dollar for dollar, upon the unchecked approval of a friendly or downright sociable contracting officer?"
 Even though the accounting of flee had audited payments under such contracts, he said, the fact is we were bound by law, or so the courts have held, to whitewash al- most any conceivable cost so ap- proved"

G.I. COMEDY I5
 SMASH HIT AT
 CAPITOL MOVIE

In What Next, Corporal Har- grover" which opened at the Capi- tol Sunday, Robert Walker re- turns to the characterization that he made famous in the original GI comedy, See Here, Private Har- grove," and the M-G-M sequel is even funnier and faster than it's forerunner.
 Having completed a somewhat hazardous basic traineeship as a Private, Hargrove now emerges a full-fledged combat Corporal with an artillery battery in France. But from the moment that he makes an unexpected but opportunely- timed entrance into a liberated French village as its hero, his car eer as a Corporal is marked by one bowling episode after the other, punctuated by his dodging the somewhat overwhelming affections of the mayors daughter.
 In his latest adventures liar grove involves himself in such di- verse predicaments as embedding a truokdrawn gun in muddy ditch, turning the tables on Nazi patrol who have captured him, landing in the guardhouse after an impromp- tu visit to Paris, and narrowly evading being brought to the altar by the mayors daughter. It is all one great round of hilarity.
 Walker, as Hargrove, is once again the typical G. L, affable, blundering, and at all times win ming the sympathy of his audience. He is given expert aid in the comic portrayal of Keenan Wynn as the bunco- artist, Pvt. Mulvehill, and by Chill Wills, again playing the ser geant who hands out the choicest pick and shovel assignments. Jean Porter, as the casts only feminine principal, is effective as the pre- datory mayors daughter.

 AT 10TH CENTURY

Paramount's Till We Meet Alag
 Paramount's Till We Meet Again starring Ray Midland and Barbara Britton, is receiving wide acclaim at the 20th Century.
 Here is a romance of a distinctly new type love between a man of the world and woman who lived in Q world without men.
 It is also important for the light it sheds on the work of Frances amazing Maquis the almost un- trained and unarmed army which liberated Paris unaiced and is still writing new French history.
 Till We Meet Again describes the thrilling escape of an Ameri- can aviator through the French un- derground Active in the movement ale the nuns of French convent, led by the Mother Superior played by Lucile Watson.
 A young Novice, played by Miss Britton, is assigned the greatest share of responsibility with the duty of escorting Milland, the Air Force Captain, to the coast with important Nazi plans in his pos session.
 The Nazis, knowing that an American pilot is nearby, throw out a dragnet to effect his cap ture. In this connivance, the Ger man Coloned, Shayne, is abetted by a French collaborationist, Slezak Although the end seems in sight at nearly every turn, the American pilots ingenuity and the nuns un- dying faith thwart Nazi plans, en- abling Milland to reach England.

 Doors were opened and as a driver was eliminated he walked in The large oil-stove heated re- ception room, complete with hot dogs and "cokes" sent over by the Soap Box Derby Committee, quick fly changed from a Concrete Pro- ducts establishment to good losers club.
 Hanging out the windows, the toys hailed in the winners of each heat, and yelled greetings of vel come to the loser who shortly join ed their ranks and, after coke and hot dog, took. his place in the crowded windows to cheer the next winner.
 Tramping over the floors, sitting on desks and explaining loudly the merits or demerits of each racing car, the boys were completely un- | impeded in their invasion of the Alaska Concrete Products. The main office door was discreetely closed and the owners retired while the outside office and sup elementary rooms rang with the voices of the "hill-drivers' of the day
