Mr.. Wyatts demand to Mr.. Clark
for an immediate inquiry followed q
statement by Preston Tucker, head
of the auto arm, that he had been
approached by the New York lawyer
with an implied offer to help him
In the lease dispute.
Taking up the story there, Mr..
Wyatt said that in less than two
'climactic hours, the lawyer tried to
talk Mr.. Tucker into signing con-
tracts purporting to affect the sue
cess or failure Of Mr.. fuckers bid
for the wartime plant.
Mr.. Wyatt's statement said the
lawyer presented the contracts to
Mr.. Tucker a. boon on October 28
and stated thak unless they were
signed BY 1850 pm, the National
Housing Agency would issue direc-
tive at 2 pm, turning the. plant
over to, the Lustron Corn. Such a
directive was issued on that date.
Mr.. Wyatt quoted Mr.. Tucker as
saying the unnamed attorney ''in-
tfmated he could use his influence
to stall action by the ofIice OF the
Housing Expediter in transferring
the plant" to the Lussron Corp.
The contracts called for the New
Yorker to receive $400, 900 in Tucker
Corp. stock. retainer of $36, 900 q
year for five years as counsel for
the firm, and q 99-year exclusive
leadership in New York for the
projected Tucker Torpedo car.
Mr.. Wyatt said the lawyer called
his ofice at 1:55 pm. the same day
after MIR. Tucker had refused to
sign the contraets-and declared the
deal was "all on" Mr.. Wyatt's ONCE
had previously granted four -hour
delay, until 2. pm, for a hearing OF
Mr.. fuckers side of the case.

ding the Lustron matter had no
knowledge of any connection be-

named New York attorney until the
latter's phone call on November 28.
These facts show that here were
no mysterious angles to the order
issued by the housing expediters to
the WAA to allocate the Didge-
Chrysler plant for the manufacture
Of veterans housing rather than for
the manufacture Of automobiles .

They demonstrate that there was

POST NEWS


 shone brilliantly at the Post Off cers' Club last Saturday evening where the ladies of the Post ere ated the most delightful dance party this cozy club has ever wit messed. The band under the able direction of Sgt. Hoffman, and re- gently reorganized, gave their numbers that little extra some thing, filling even the most ele- mentary dancer with that hep catfish urge. t,
 Miss Aubrey Hynes, the talent ed Red Cross worker and a former dramatic actress on the legitimate stage, lent her talents as narratoN and mistress of ceremonies for skits prepared by herself, Miss Mary Manning and It. Bunts. It. Stromberg made levoly looking dish as Tessie Tuttlebaum. Act two featured Misses Delphine Tochtrop, Floy Reeder and Kitty Kelly in a scene in which they really mopped up, portraying Pvt. Fishmouth, Pvt. Jerk and Pvt. Hunpback. Their catchy little dit ties composed by It. Bunts, were well done and they performed like veteran Singing Sad Sacks. Note 10 Hollywood: Hands off them thar gals.) The final skit for the evening, entitled ''The Fitness of Things" topped off the floor show with Miss Hynes as It. Humpback0 and Miss Manning as the pipe smoking Post Commander Flow CTS of all varieties and colors were created by Mrs. Juanita Nels4n and her associates. They gave the place a garden fresh appearance and that good old spring feeling Misses Mabel Reef, Mildred Rhyme and Margaret Dean whipped up a nifty crab salad with all the de- lectable trimmings, inclu d n 2 fruits and nuts in individual as pics.
 Many friends and neighbOrs from Nome joined in the dancing. Among those present were Mir. and Bingham, MT. and Mrs. Ga brielson, MT. and Mrs. Johnson and MT. and Mrs. Saario. The old favorites like Paul Jones, Ladies' Tag and Ladies' Choice reallA made it a friendly and happy party, forcing even the boys in the amen corner onto the dance floor and liking it. Pies. Beasely and Sikes presided over the refresh ment bar.
 Col. Waters and the officers ap- preciated the efforts of the ladies committee and are planning a for nal dance in the near future, now that the girls showed them secrets of running real party.

CONGRESS CAN DO SOMETHING
 (ROcky Mountain NeWs)

(Rocky Mountain NeWS)
 The John L. Lewis soft coal strike is now two weeks old It has closed more than 4OOO mines and prevented production of about 25 million tons of coal And from on it is really going to hurt the country.
 So far most industries have kept going storage stocks of coal But these stocks dwndling, and each day the strike continues will see and more indus tries forced to close Coal is essential to generate than threeffthS of the cOuntryS electricity and than half of it's industrial power to 92 of every 100 railroad locomotives, and to make every ton of steel that gets made.
 If the coal strike lasts only two weeks longer, its ef feet will be felt for many weeks in low production and high unemployment in all Steel-uSing industries And hear it said the time is getting close when the must do something to get the coal min CTS back to work.
 President Truman could seize the coal mines He still has powers But most of the miners probably would not work unless Mr. Lewis told them to work which he probably wouldn't dO
 The President could beg Mr. Lewis to be reasonable and we think that would be waste of breath. Or the President could pressure the mine give Mr. Lewis whatever he wants.
 But what MT. Lewis wants, we beve, is bigger con- sessions than any other union has been able to get concessions that would put tremendous bulge in the Wage-prce line against imitation.
 We don't know what else Mr. Truman do. For there is law to prevent ruthless labor leader from controlling strategic union and using his power to hurt the country.
 The mine owners have offered wage raise that would follow the pattern set in steel o and other industries They also have offered shorter hours But Mir Lewis has refused discuss wages and hours until other demands are granted.
 One of these is for roaylty-10 cents ton all coal mned IS the figure reported-to be paid into unon-managed health and welfare fund. Another, about which Mr. Lewis hasn't said much lately, is that mine foremen be required to join his union.
 Congress should outlaw both these demands The pro- posed royalty would be- actually, sales tax, paid by the public, with obligation upon the union tell the public how the money is used. If the Lewis union gets that all unions will want the thing
 But union should have power to the public and the proceeds it peases And oremen in huge n- dustries should not be compelled to belong the union the workers they supposed to supervise.
 Congress might not stop the coal strike by doing what suggest. But it would at least cut down MT. Lewis cruising radius couple of phony and danger issues from the coal negotiations and require Mr. Lewis to tell what it really is that his union is striking for.

Previous to the FBI report, con-
flrming conclusions reached by the
Chicago police bureau of identifi-
cation, Mr.. Tuohy had stated:
II AT the present moment I am
satisfied that Heirens is the man,
but, as the matter stands now, I
have not yet deduced sufTicient evil
dence to prove him guilty beyond
all reasonable doubt"
Meanwhile the husky University
OF Chicago student lay strapped in
his bed at Bridewell Prison hospital
In what oficials termed slammed
delirium," refusing to answer or
acknowledge questions put to him
by police or his parents.
Parents Get Counsel.
His mother, on advice of attor-
neys she and the father had pro-
cured, told him refuse to answer
any questions" but the youth
showed no emotion, or indicated
that he had heard her.
One of the youths ATTORNEYS,
John P. Coghian, told reporters
that "our position is that there are
only suspicious circumstances"
against Heirens.
Mr.. Tuohy said his Investigate
had produced these findings:
| THAT points of similarity" had
been established between the print
of Heirens' left little finger and a
fingerprint on the $4,000 Degan
ransom note and that veteran
f1ngerprint experts were Convinced"
on this basis that the same man
made the two prints.
2-"Ihat X-ray examinations
showed Heirens did not suffer a
skull fracture when a policeman
struck him on the head with a
flower pot when he resisted capture.
3. That police had established
Heirens' fingerprints corresponded
with those found last October S in
the South Side apartment of 1t.

nurse who was bound and assaulted
by an intruder, and that Heirens
has been definitely linked" with
several Chicago burglaries, some in
the neighborhood of the Degnan
home.
Medical Kit Discovered.
4. That medical kit containing
surgical instruments, including a de-
tachsble surgical knife and detach-
able surgical saw, were found in his
