DC. Grand Jury Hears
Second Ex-Secretary
OF Carson Firms

Another former secretary IN the
Washington Office of the Carson
companies testified today before the
special grand jury investigating the
combines wartime operations.
Mrs. Eleanor Hall, who worked fol
II months at the Thomas Circle
Office of the .Garssons and testified
before Senate committee concern
ing their associations with Repre-
sentative Andrew ]. May, Democrat
of Kentucky, entered the grand jury
room shortly after Francis D. Flana-
gan, assistant counsel for the Sen
ate War Investigating Committee
testified.
Mr.. Flanagan was called in the
place of Committee Counsel George
Meader, who is on his way to Europe
for preliminary investigation OF
the American Military Government
activities in Germany and Austria
Mr.. Flanagan was in the juryroom
for 35 minutes.
The jury also recalled Charles
Dudley of 2133 North Pollard street
Arlington, stereotype reporter, who
recorded much of the testimony
before the Senate committee last
summer. Mr.. Dudley was the first
witness when the grand jury began
it's deliberations last Thursday.
Mrs. Jean Bates, who testified
Monday before the grand jury, and
Mrs. Hall were secretaries in the
Carson office during the war. Last
summer at a spectacular hearing
before the Senate committee, Mrs
Hall testified that Joseph Freeman
business agent for the Garssons in
Washington, phoned Mr.. May on an
average of three times a day and
sometimes at the Representatives
home in Prestonsburg KY. She also
told the committee that she once
overheard a telephone conversation
in which Mr.. May, she asserted,
asked Mr.. Freeman what about the
$1,000"
When Mrs. Hall testified at the
committee hearing that Louis Sare-
las, Office manager at the Thomas
Circle Office, told her that Repre-
sentative May got him out Of the
Army after six months, the commit
tee hearing was thrown into an
uproar as Mrs. Venetia Doukas,
sister of Mr.. Sarelas, exclaimed
That's a lie."
Department Of Justice special
prosecutors indicated that no other
witnesses would be called today

Cancellation Session
Attended by Brewery
And Union Officials

Representatives of 500 striking
beer truck drivers and brewery
officials met with United States
Labor Conciliator James A. Holden
at the Labor Department this morn
ing in an effort to end the seven-day
beer strike here.
Thomas A. Cation, business agent
of the drivers union, said as he
entered the meeting that his union
already had made one conciliatory
offer. He said the union had re-
duced its demands for a weekly
wage of $35 and a commission OF
IL cents per case to $50 and 10 cents.
Since drivers have to pay their
helpers $35 week out of their own
pay, he pointed out, they are entirely
dependent on their commissions, and
no further reduction from the pres
ent demand of 10 cents per case
could be accepted.
Brewing Company Blamed.
He blamed the Christian Heurich
Brewing Co. as the main obstacle
to a concession by the city's brew
cries to the unions demands. There
are 27 establishments, including
Heurichs, involved in the strike.
Three distributing companies, Mr..
Cation reported. accepted the
unions original demand of wage
boost for drivers from $25 to S35 a
week, and an increase on the COM
mission per case from 7 cents to IL,
or Is cents on the larger size cases.
He said the Heurich Brewing Co.
was selling beer at cents a case
below present OPA ceilings, in
stead of passing on the author
lied price rise to its workers as
a pay increase. The Tru-Blu Beer
Corp, he added, recently followed
this example.
Six-Day Demand Denied.
W. Cameron Burton, attorney for
the brewers and beer distributing
companies, denied that employers
we're demanding a six-day work week
for truck drivers and their helpers.
He said the $50 base pay would be
for a five-day week, but that de-
hveries would be made on Saturday,
contrary to the desires of union
spokesmen.
Asked to give his reaction to Mr..
Cations threat yesterday that main
tenance workers might be asked to
turn off the refrigeration system at
the Heurich Brewing Co.. he said he
felt the workers would be very
foolish" to do SO, since If a settle
ment were reached after the beer
had spoiled, drivers would still be
out of work for several months.

FWA 70 Request
Millions for
D. {. Hospitals
Would Use Surplus
Center Funds for
Modernizotion

The Federal Works Administra-
ton will ask the next Congress to
extend a $35,000,000 authorization
already on the books for Washing
tons 1,500-bed hospital center to
cover modernization of Washington
hospitals not included in the center,
it was learned today.
If successful, this move will
have far-reaching effect on the
whole Washington hospital system,
branded last spring by the Metro
politan Health and Hospital Survey
as disgrace to the Nation"
Actually the $4,000, 900 is larger
figure than the estimated cost of
the hospital center. 1t was orig
inally intended to cover the center
plus modernization of other hos
pitals, but congressional opposition
to the center, led by Representative
Abernethy, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi, succeeded in limiting the
measure to the center only.
Size of Fund Sustained.
On the other hand, friends of the
legislation won out in a fight to
have it passed with the total $685.
100000 still intact.
The center itself is estimated tc
cost from S15,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
Hence, about half of the authoriza-
ton could not be appropriated un-
less additional legislation restores
authority to spend the remainder
for other hospitals as originally in
tended.
Word that FWA would seek such
authority came fast on the heels of
news yesterday that a committee
has been formed at the request of
Federal Works Administrator Philip
B. Fleming to advise him on selec-
ton of site and a plan for the
hospital center.
Several Sites Studied.
This committee is reported to be
studying from six to eight sites, and
it was said FWA will seek an appro-
priation to buy the land and draw
up the plan.
Tha Hospital Center Committee
yesterday afternoon started work by
visiting some of the sites under
consideration One was the 25-
acre Glover estate at Massachusetts,
and Nebraska avenue NV.
Three hospitals are to combine to
form the center-Emergency, Epis-
copal and Garfield.
A second committee will be
| formed within about two weeks to
study the needs of the other hos
pitals in the event authorization is
obtained to use the rest of the
s35, 100000 for this purpose, it was
| reported.

RUDOLPH DUNBAR
TO CONDUCT AT
HOLLYWOOD BOWL

IIVkl VVVO OWL
HOLLYWOOD, July % (ANP)
In an unprecedented move, Off
cials of the Hollywood bowl have
conferred another honor on Ru-
dolph Dunbar, famed Negro orches-
tral conductor. They are importing
Mr.. Dunbar from Paris to direct the
orchestra on the night of Aug. 22
when, as one of the features of the
Hollywood Bowls Symphonies
Under the Stars" Silver Jubilee sea-
son, they will present an entire pro-
gram of Negro culture. Appearing
with Mr.. Dunbar and the great bowl
orchestra will be Dorothy Maynor,
Negro choir, and the music of Will
liam Grant Still, which Mr.. Dunbar
featured in many of his concerts in
Europe.
1t is possible that Mr.. Dunbar
may lecture in Los Angeles during
his brief stay in the city, for he was
in many strategic spots at impor-
tant moments in history. He has
many interesting stories to tell
about the American colored soldiers
when they first penetrated the
United Kingdom right up until the
invasion on the western front lead
ing to the utter defeat of the Ger
mans.
AS an orchestral conductor, Ru-
dalph Dunbar has made cultural
history for the race. He was the
first Negro ever to conduct the Lon
don and Berlin Philharmonic or
chestras, the latter historic occa-
sion that was written up in great
detail. All over England, he directed
large symphony orchestras, while
just last year in Paris he organized
and carried through huge Festi-
val of American music with four
symphony orchestras. This festival,
consisting of four concerts, brought
him commentator from our state
department. On another occasion he
shared honors with the American
singer, Grace Moore, in an auspi-
cious Paris concert to further
Franco-American friendship.
The magazine, Debout, published
in Paris, has just devoted two pages
of pictures in a recent issue to Ru-
dolph Dunbar and his work as mu-
sician and as journalist. A book doc
umenting his achievement is now
being published in Paris and will be
off the press shortly. Mr.. Dunbar is
now enroute to the United States.
He will arrive on the west coast ap-
proximately week before his Hol-
lywood bowl concert, for rehearsals
with the orchestra and for other
festivities that are being planned in
his honor.
