Bill Drawn 10 Authorize
Many D. {. Expenditures

The Commissioners have sent to
Congress a proposed bill under
which separate legislative authority
would be granted for scores of items
which for many years have been
counted in city appropriations bills
without legislative authorization.
Covered by the proposed measure
are items ranging from samples pur-
chased by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board to searches for es-
capped prisoners.
The bill is in line with the eX-
pressed wish of the House Appropri-
ations Committee that such author
ity for expenditures be given pro-
lection against the raising of point
of order. A similar bill for other
Federal departments is pending be-

Transfer Of Nazi Assets
To u. 5. Concerns Probed
BY the Associoted Press

Attorney General Clark disclosed
yesterday that 20 special investiga.
tors are in Europe seeking evidence
on the transfer of German assets ir
this country to corporate fronts.
Mr.. Clark estimated that the Nazis
transferred control of about s1,OO0,-
100000 worth of American proper
ties to trusted individuals" in this
country.
Through corporate intermedi-
aries" the cabinet member said
"the Germans hoped to hide owner
ship of certain corporations, patents
and other properties in the United
States.
They anticipated the possibility
of war between the two countries
long before 1941 and remembered
the experience of the last war when
they lost properties in the United
States.
so they went through care
fully calculated series of cloaking
transactions in which they put their
American properties in the hands OF
individuals they believed they could
trust"
Mr.. Clark said Swiss and Swedish
neutrals and even some natural
lied Americans acted as fronts for
the Germans in these maneuvers

TwoDead, 300 Injured
AS Two Trains Collide
Near Boston Suburb
BY the Aesocioted Press

BOSTON, April 22-Two engine.
men were dead today, third was
in critical condition and approxi-
mately 300 persons reported injuries
after two New Haven Railroad pas
senger trains collided head-on last
night near Readville, Boston
suburb.
The dead were: Norman Goodwin,
81, fireman, and Engineer William
E. Bean, SO. who were crushed in
the cab of their Hartford to-Boston
locomotive as it crashed into a nine
car to-Providence train.
Railroad officials said one of the
trains had run past stop signals and
that an investigation was under way
The impact of the collision hurled
the tender of the Hartford-to-Bos-
ton engine into the cab, trapping
the engineer and fireman in the
twisted wreckage. A wooden car at
tachei to the tender was a Splin-
tered wreck.
A fleet of 80 ambulances, several
fire trucks and Red Cross mobile
units were dlSpatched to the scene
Two hours passed before stunned
and hysterical passengers were re-
moved to hospitals.
None of the coaches overturned
but doctors said the sudden shock
of collision hurtled passengers
against seats, most of them suffer
ing head and face decorations or
injured legs.
john B. Ingram, "a, of Mans
fleldN Mass, a passenger on the
Providence-bound train, said Navy
enlisted men removed ice from
drinking fountains to form packs in
aiding the injured. The sailors
quelled panic among women passen-
gers by their calm action, he added

Steel Firm Loses Fiqht
Against Pay for VI Day

PHILADELPHIA, April ga
long-standing dispute involving pay
ment of wages for VI day has been
settled by Circuit Court Judge Her
bert F. Goodrich, who ruled in an
arbiter'S decision Saturday that
Miovale Steel Co. must pay its
workers 100000
The VI day pay issue was a
major factor in a 63-day strike at
Midvale's Nicetown plant last year
A spokesman for Local 1887 of the
AFL's Federal Labor Union said
employees protested the company's
failure to act favorably on Presi-
dent Truman's request that workers
be paid straight time for two VI
day holidays.
Midvale had agreed to pay only
for the first day, August Is.
The spokesman said Judge Good
rich's findings will result in payment
of the $4,000 to 5000 workers
affected.

Banks Seek Greater Share
In Netherlands Loan
BY the Associated Press

The Export Import Bank is being
pushed to let the general invest
ing public participate in its loans
to foreign nations.
At the moment, the bank is under
strong pressure from other govern
ment agencies to open up it's $780,
100000 loan to the Netherlands
government for wider participation
by private banks, trust funds, in
dividuals and corporations.
Hollands good credit record and
rapid economic improvement since
the war make her bonds potentially
acceptable to private buyers, Off
cials contend. Adoption of such a
general policy, some officials noted,
might permit private sharing in the
81 ,000,0O0,000 loan asked by Rus
sia.
AS far as Holland is concerned
William McChesney Martin, jr.,
chairman of the Export Import
Bank and a member of MAC, has
acceded to the extent of inviting
commercial banks, at meetings in
New York and Chicago, to supply
part of the money needed by the
Netherlands.
However, this is limited to banks
which can supply at least 81 ,OOO, 900
each. Other officials are urging that
the sum be lowered-perhaps to as
little as $l0,000-and that a public
invitation be extended to other types
of banks and investors.

slider some substitute plan at its

Spain Denies Charges
She Is Threat 10 Peace
BY the Associated Pres.

MADRID, April 22.-Spain's Pub
lie Works Minister denied last night
that the Spanish government was q
threat to world peace and said the
Franco regime intended to remain
in power regardless of any action
taken by the United Nations, even
economic sanctions.
Gen. Jose Maria Fernandez Lad
reda, replying to accusations made
to the United Nations Security
Council, denied specifically that
Spain was carrying on atomic re-
search or had massed troops at the
French frontier.
He also denied a charge by Span
ish republicans that mass executions
had been conducted of political op-
ponents held in prisons
If the victorious powers should
pay attention to these calumnies
against Spain, which l do not be-
lieve, we will, unworried continue to
live in Spain with dignity, walking
if necessary in case we lack gasoline
for automobiles, using carts for
transport if we are not able to oper-
ate motor vehicles Fernandez
