 Illinois Empire
 Won Mony Benefits
 From Government

Washington, July 6-CUP)-The Senate War Investigating Commit tee sought today to unravel tangled details of the parts Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson and Rep. Andrew J. May, D.-Ky), played in the activities of Illinois paper en- pire" firms accused of "war profit eering."
 A witness testified during com mittee hearings yesterday that Pat terson, as Under-Secretary of War, twas very anxious" that the Batavia Metal Products, Inc, Batavia, Ill receive an Army-Navy "E'' award.
 The same witness, Col. John Sle- zak, retired, recounted how May at tended a S16,OOO banquet given by Dr. Henry Carson, key executive in the chain of Illinois firms in the luxurious gold coast room of the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Garson's firms, including Batavia, handled more than $78OOO, GOO in war con- tracts.
 Says Batavia Didn't Deserve
 In an attempt to shed more light on circumstances surrounding the efficiency award made to the Bata- via firm, the committee called Brig. Gen. Roswell Hardy to testify dur ing a special weekend session. Har- dy was top member o fthe Army's ordnance staff when the citation was given the company.
 Slezak, formerly attached to the Armys Chicago ordnance branch told the committee that Batavia never deserved it's 'E."
 Slezak said he had been wonder ing if it was purely coincidence that at least two of his officers re- ceived a case of scotch from a Ba- tavia official at about the time the ''E'' award first came under consld- eration in 1914. The scotch, he said, came from Carson near Christmas time.
 No Strings Attached
 They were very principled, high character men, and they returned the scotch untouched" the former colonel testified. Tt came Best wishes from Dr. Carson and nc strings attached"
 lney were SuoplC4oAo anu iiioy ~ it was just coincidental that this happened-I don't know. Scotch was scarce. It was very hard te get"
 Slezak also told the committee that May, chairman of the power ful House Military Affairs Commit tee. had gone beyond the limits o1 propriety in getting things done foi Carson.

 Notice Received
 Of Governors
 Suspension Move

Formal notice of Governor Ray mond E. Baldwins summary process statutes suspension was received here by the Waterbury City Court. Judges John L. Gaffney and Charles R. Summa announced they will CO., operate fully with the attorney general in matters relating to the emergency action.
 Formal notice of the Governors order was received at the Town Clerks office yesterday. The action was taken under the war powers of the Governor to protect the pub lie against rent hikes and evictions following the end of OPA.
 Simultaneously, Attorney General William L. Hadden, in letter to the two judges, pointed out that the suspended state action related to the summary process actions for immediate recovery of possessions of leases premises. He explained the Governors order was made neeeS- Sary by the failure of Congress to continue the U. 5. statute under which the OPA functioned.
 The statute suspended is the on- ly one which provides for the giv- ing of notice to quit possession and for summary process for the im- mediate recovery of possession of leased premises, the suspension tC continue until January l, l947. Il applies to dwelling apartments, ten- ements, houses, hotel rooms anc rooms in rooming houses, and only to cases where summary process would have been superseded by statutes of the United States hac the said U. s. statutes not expired and become imperative. Also, il does not apply to cases which did not come within the provisions of the said U. s. laws, nor to cases now pending in courts or where mo- tices to quit were served before June 30, or where applications tc institute eviction proceedings were granted by the OPA.
