~ Pilots Grounded in Drive
To Halt Low-FIying Annoyance
CAA Tiehtens Enforcement in Areo;
Specific information Needed in Complaints
By W. H. Shippen. Jr.
Aviotion Editor OF The Stor

CAA to take every possible precau-
tion against unnecessary ground
noise, have the choice in normal
weather between protecting the ears
of their passengers or those of the
general public on the ground. Gen.
tie, fiat approaches and takeoffs are
music to the cash customers, but
may echo like thunder to all below.
Not much choice remains, how
ever; when visibility is bad. Pilots
must get under fog or smoke often
hanging at 300 or 400 feet over the
Potomac Yards and the river. In
really thick weather, they must come
up the southwest leg of the radio
range on the instrument approach
that lies over the rooftops of South
Alexandria. Transports. especially
high-powered, four -motored jobs,
are highly audible on these oc-
casions.
Rules must be flexible In landings
and take-offs where safety depends
on pilot judgment, and this applies
also to high-speed military planes.

Goering Had Poison
From Time Of Capture
investigators Report
Carried 1t on His Person
At One Period, Allied
Commission Declares
BY the Associated Pres.

NUREMBERG, Oct. 26.-Her-
mann Goering had suicide poi
son from the time of his capture,
the four power commission in
vestigating his death reported
today.
The commission did not say def
nitely where the No. 2 Nazi hid the
poison with which he cheated the
gallows on the eve of his scheduled
execution.
An official announcement declared,
however, there is reason to sup
port the view that at one time
Goering could have carried the poi
son secreted in a cavity in his UNI
bilical (naveD."
But the commission report de-
clared definitely that the poison
was not there throughout his i'm
prisonment," and said positively that
"at some stage it was in his ali
mentary tract"
"An obscure recess in the inside
of a toilet under an overhanging
rim could have concealed container
for time without detection except
by extraordinary search" the report
said. .,-,-
The commission absolved the
American sentry on duty at Goer-
ing's cell and said that mo blame
worthy action or negligence is as
cribed to the other prison guards
Of the United States Army"
"Nor was there any evidence trac-
ing to involve German workers in
the special prison." the commission
added.
THE security measures taken were
proper in the peculiar conditions
of the trial and were satisfactorily
carried out" the commission said.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Joseph
P. Ryan, executive member OF
the AFL Maritime Council, to-
day predicted an immediate end
of the maritime strike which
has tied up shipping in the Ma
tons ports for 26 days.
''I predict the strike will be over
within an hour" Mr.. Ryan said at
11:20 am. at the Offices of the
American Merchant Marine Insti-
tute, where negotiating committees
representing operators and unions
are meeting.
The Federal Government earlier
had been awaiting replies from the
operators and striking deck officers
to the Governments proposal for a
settlement of the Atlantic and Gulf
Coast phases of the strike.
What the proposal embodied was
not disclosed by any of the parties
involved, but negotiations between
the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots
Union and the operators had settled
all outstanding issues except the
union demand for inclusion of ship
masters in a preferential hiring
clause. The union also had asked a
80 per cent pay boost.
Submitted by Conciliator.
The proposal was submitted last
night by Federal Conciliator Fred
erick Livingston. Capt. William G,
Ash. co-chairman of the Union
Negotiating Committee, told news
men the union was "favorably i'm
pressed"
Frank J. Taylor, spokesman for
the shipowners, refused to comment.
| Meanwhile, settlement of the East
and Gulf Coast phases OF the ClO
marine engineers Nationwide walk
out hit another sang yesterday.
| The Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association. which earlier this week
signed a settlement with operators.
demanded that the Maritime Com
mission apply to government-owneo
ships the terms of the agreement.
| "A spokesman for the union said
| the engineers would not end its
strike or announce ratification OF
the agreement with operators until
| the Maritime Commission issued a
directive giving engineers on the
government owned ships the sama
benefits won from private operators.
Terms of the agreement have not
been announced officially but a
union spokesman said they included
a pay increase of IS per cent. The
union originally sought IS per cent
hike.
New Union Proposal.
Mr.. Livingston's proposal was OF
fered after the negotiators took UP
union proposal which Capt. Ash
described as something that has
never been written into contract
before" and which he said would
settle the strike if accepted. He
did not divulge the nature Of the
proposal and neither side COM
mented on it subsequently.
Only the Eastern and Gulf Coasts
are affected by the negotiations Of
the two unions, which struck to-
.gether. 1t was believed. however,
that any settlement would have con-
siderable bearing on West Coast
settlement.
A third union involved in mari
time negotiations, the AFL Seafar-
ers International Union, announced
it had signed an agreement with
nine Eastern ship companies, effec-
tive until September 80, 1947. This
action erases the threat of fur
ther strike in the absence of con-
tract.

D. T.. Bakers Ordered
To Restore 1-Pound
Bread by Wednesday
Price of Standard
DecontroIIed Looves
Is Up to Sellers

Washington bakers were noti-
fed today by the District De-
partment of Weights and Meas
ures to return to the old 16-ounce
bread loaf by Wednesday as the
Federal Government cleared the
way for a Nation-w wide return to
standard bread sizes.
The notification to Washington
bakeries followed closely a Govern
ment order revoking the regulation
placed in effect last spring that
loaves must be 10 per cent smaller
as a famine relief measure.
During the 14-ounce loaf period
just ended, local ordinances involv-
ing the weight of bread were sus-
pended. These regulations now 80
back in effect.
Price Effect Uncertain.
Eject Of the change on prices
appeared uncertain. With ceilings
now OF, bakers are free to charge
more for a bigger loaf If they choose.
However, both retail and whole
sale bakers in the Capital today
promised an effort to hold the price
line on bread
The Agriculture Department ex-
planned suspension of the 10 per
cent less bread weight order came
as a result of President Truman's
policy of speeding the end of Gov
ernment controls and the fact that
grain is now more plentiful.
Washington bakers said they hoped
to be able to hold bread prices down
to former OPA ceilings despite the
fact the 16-ounce loaf will cost more
to make than the present 14-ounce
loaf.
A meeting Of the Washington
Retail Bakers Association is planned
Tuesday evening at the Washington
Gas Light Co. Building, Eleventh
and H streets NV, to discuss the
various factors which could force
a price rise.
wholesalers planned no joint dis
cussion.
More Variety Allowed.
Decontrol of all bakery products
will permit bakeries to accept orders
for a far wider range of products,
especially rolls, thus lowering unit
cost, spokesman said, explaining
they pin their hopes for holding the
line on bread prices on this factor.
For instance, the Schneider Bak-
ing Co. made 156 different kinds
of bread and rolls before the war.
During OPA control, the number
was reduced to 10 types of bread
and seven to eight types of rolls.
An all-out attempt to hold the
line on bread prices was promised
by George Furzer, president Of the
Washington Retail Bakers Associa-
ton, as well as wholesale spokesmen.
Small Operators Hit.
It appeared, however, the small
operator might have more difficulty
doing this than the large bakeshops.
This is because the retail shops re-
ceived a large measure of the roll
business during the war than the
wholesalers normally could expect.
While the bread and roll situation
frightened today, the pastry and
cake outlook remained dark for
Washington.

cake were faced with the necessity

Rogge0usted
For Speech on
Nazi j. ). Plans
Letter From Clark
Charges Revelation
Of Secret Reports
By Carter Brooke Jones

0. John Rogge, special as
sistant to the Attorney General
and chief prosecutor of the mass
sedition case, was dismissed
early today by Attorney General
Clark for speech at Swarth-
more College Tuesday night de-
scribing the plans of Nazi lead
ers to defeat President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Clark said in his letter dis
missing Mr.. Rogge that his speech
was based on confidential report
to the Attorney General resulting
from Mr.. Rogges investigation in
Germany of Nazi propaganda in
America. This, Mr. Clark added,
violated "long standing rules and
regulations" of the Justice Depart
ment.
At the same time the Attorney
General disclosed that Mr.. Rogge
had recommended that the Gov
ernment dismiss the four-year- old
sedition case. The case against the
26 defendants has been hanging fire
in District Court for nearly two
years, since early in December, 1914,
when the deNh of Chief Justice Ed
ward c. Eicher brought about mis-
trial.
Effective at Once.
Mr. Clark gave out the letter GUST
ing Mr.. Rogge at 1890 am. today,
making the order of dismissal ef-
fective at once.
Mr.. Rogge could not be reached
for comment. He was reported
out of town.
There was no White House COM
ment other than that the matter
was between Attorney General Clark
and Mr.. Rogge. 1t is assumed,
however, that Mr. Clark talked over
the case with President Truman be-
fore acting.
The special prosecutor said in
his Swarthmore address that the
Nazis always preferred the one who
opposed President Roosevelt" He
added: They preferred, in turn,
Landon. Willkie and Dewey. They
had a strong preference for Dewey.
They did not particularly like Will
kie, but they felt that any President
would be better for their purposes
than President Roosevelt"
In 1899. Mr.. Rogge said, he learned
the German Foreign ONCE set up
IAN American Committee" charged
with beating Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr..
Rogge also told the audience docu-
ments and interviews In Germany
revealed that ''the Nazis had a fam
tastic scheme in 1940 to get John
L. Lewis to come out against the
election of President Roosevelt .
This scheme, he said, involved
Hermann Goering, a Nazi agent by
the name of Joachim Hertslet and
William r. Davis, promoter in
the oil business" Mr.. Davis, whose
German and Mexican oil connec-
tions were investigated by Congress,
died in 1941.
Clark's Letter Quoted.
In his letter of dismissal, Mr.
Clark said:
1T has come to my attention that
you have made certain statements
in a public address that could only
come from your report filed with me
in the enumerated (sedition cases
"a careful examination of those
statements and the press release
which you made to the news services
on the day of your speech disclosed
direct quotations from the report
referred to.
Having been in the Department
of Justice for over five years, at one
time an Assistant Attorney General,

law and rules applied to the Depart
ment of Justice which makes such
