Mead Calls MoyAgoin

Washington, July l2 - (UP) - Chairman James M Mead, CD., N. YD, of the Senate War Investigat- ing Committee. revealed today he has renewed his invitation to Rep. Andrew J. May, (D., Ky), to testify at the inquiry into a Midwest muni- tions paper empire.
 As the inquiry convened, Mead read a letter he had sent to May. In it he said that it should be abrndantly clear that May had not given the committee the full, com- plete and accurate facts which the committee should know" when he appeared in secret session on June 1.
 Mead noted that in testimony given by War Department officials frequent references" had been made to "interoession" by May on behalf of some of the paper empire firms under scrutiny.
 Sens. Homer Ferguson, (R., Mich.) and Hugh B. Mitchell, (D., Wash.) said that if May does not respond voluntarily to the renewed invita- tion, Congressional Legislative machinery should be set in motion to bring him before the commit tee.
 Mead stressed that May had not been required to explain these ref erenceS by War Department off, cials' when he testified in secret June 4. He reminded the House Military Affairs chairman that his statement had dealt primarily with the handling of the affairs of the Cumberland Lumber Company paper empire subsidiary.
 Dr. Henry Carson, asserted ''close friend" of May, and key fig ure in the munitions empire, is listed as president of the Cumber- land Company, for which May served as process agent in Kentucky
 May has admitted this connection but steadfastly denied that he pro- fited by so much as a penny from the venture.

Await Holiday End Army to Ask Draft or 3O- 34 Brackets

ed, once the holiday ends, to keep manpower at the required level.
 The Selective Service Act, which Congress extended until March 3l next year after eXempting 18-year- olds, permits induction of men from 19 through A years old. But the Army, saying it did not want sold- iers over 29, heretofore has refrain ed from inducting men in the 30- to-44 age group.
 Some military men reportedly wanted to lift the age ceiling to 34 as "backstop measure" in case the present spurt of voluntary enlist ments falls off by the time Selective Service inductions are possible again. Military pay increases of as much as 50 percent have been approved by Congress to spur recruiting.
 More than 100000 men have en- listed voluntarily since the Army began it's ,000,000-man recruiting program, butthe continual need for replacements in the armed forces compelled Congress to keep the draft machinery in operation.
 Army officials have pointed out that voluntary enlistments prob ably will not be sufficient to keep the Army at its authorized strength which set at 1,550000 men as of last July 1. This total is to be pared down to 100000 men by next July

Washington, July 12 - (UP) - Men in the 30-through-34 age bracket again may become eligible for Selective Service induction when the current draft holiday ends on Sept. l, it was disclosed today
 The White House announced that the Army intends to ask President Truman to lift the draft induction age ceiling from 29 to 34
 The Army, prevented by law from drafting 18-year-olds, is preparing a recommendation to that effect, but it has not yet reached the President, White House Secretary Charles G. Ross said. Although the Selective Service law permits induc- tion of men through A, change in the present policy of drafting only men in the 19-through-29 age group requires presidential approval
 Barring disapproval by MT. Tru- man the change would add addi- tional thousands of Selective Serv- ice registrants to the pool from which the Army and Navy may draw after Sept. l to supplement voluntary enlistments.
 The present two-month draft hol- iday was provoked by the encourag- ing response to intensive military recruiting campaigns. but Army and Navy officials were said to feel that Selective Service inductions of men throuaA tsaA asa oz 3A may be need

State C.I.O. Maps Buyers
 Strike Drive
Call on Consumers To Purchase Only Bare Necessities
 Call on Consumers To Purchase Only Bare Necessities

A drive to have consumers pur- chase only aboslute necessities until adequate federal price control is restored was voted by the eXecu- tive board of the Connecticut C.I.O. Council at New Haven yesterday afternoon. Plans for the drive and for series of demonstrations about the State in protest against rising prices will be completed at meeting Tuesday at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, which will be at- tended by presidents of 100 CLIO. locals, officers of C1.O. city coun- cils, and representatives of inter national unions.
 The Buy absolute essentials only" campaign will be buyers strike, in one sense, State C.I.O. Publicity Director Harold Senior said today It will not be any one day affair." he declared, but rather a continuing movement during which we will urge consumers to exercise the greatest restraint in buying. We will ask purchasers to buy only those items which are ab- solutely needed, as means of em- phacizing their protests against ris- ing prices"
 The protest campaign is contin- gent on failure by Congress to enact a real price control law" said the C.IO. spokesman, but the develop ments at Washington make it ob- vious that Congress is not planning any adequate controls at this time
 The State CIO. organization plans to cooperate with all con- sumers and civic organizations which are also protesting against price rises and are seeking a return of the OPA.
 In this connection, observers be- lieve, the C.IO. may decide to link it's campaign with consumers pro- test to be launched June B by a New York council of civic, consum- CTS, veterans and civic organizations A consumers group has already been formed in Hartford which is planning a buyers strike to begin July 23.
 Parades, public meetings and other events will be held to bring public attention to the CI.O. drive against higher prices. Demonstra- tions will be held within factories, said MT. Senior. In plants where work stoppages or other demonstra- tions are forbidden by contract, the management will be asked for per mission to allow them. If perrnis- sion is denied, workers will hold demonstrations after hours.

Hope to Beat Off Flurries Administration Feels Tide Turning on 0PA

Washington, July IF -
 UP) - Senate Administra- tion leaders, driving for a final vote today on the be- leaguered OPA bill, believed the tide has turned enough in their favor to beat off a final furry of price : increasing amendments. ... %.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley, Ky, served notice that he would seek to wind up Senate consideration of the bill even if it required third straight night session.
 The Senate, however, first must vote on proposed amendments that would postpone resumption of price controls until Nov. Is, ban all con- trols except on rents, and give dis tributors their pre-war price mark ups.
 Two Amendments Beaten
 Harried Administration forces yesterday put in their most effec- tive days work on the bill. They defeated an amendment to raise rents l5 percent by next March, and a proposal sponsored by Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R.-O0, to allow producers 1940 prices, plus increases in production costs since then.
 But the Senate approved, 5s to 20, an amendment to forbid the Federal Government from control ling rents in states such as New York which have their own rent control regulations.
 There was still a possibility that the Senate would have to weather a short-lived filibuster by Sen. w Lee O'Daniel, D.-Tex), before sending the new bill to conference with the House.
 Most senators agreed that ODan- iels filibuster would delay the vote only few hours. They said that his rider proposing a permanent Fair Employment Practices Com mission would be tabled Even O'Daniel admitted that there was little chance that his threatened talkathon or the FEPC move would get anywhere. ODaniel, an FEPC foe, proposed the rider in the hope of provoking a Southern filibustel against the FEPC-and incidentally OPA.
 Truman Evades Answer Jubilant over the hairline defeat last night of Tafts amendment by a tie 40-40 vote, Barkley now has staked his hopes for an acceptable OPA bill once more on the Senate House conference.
 Conferees on the first bill, which was vetoed by President Truman wiped out provisions calling for the removal of controls on food pro. ducts. Although the Senate has vot- ed to prevent price ceilings on meat poultry, eggs, butter, milk. petrole. um and petroleum products, soy bean and cottonseed products, Bark. ley hopes conferees will repeat theil earlier action and remove these re. strictions.

 Rep. May Nepotism Bottle Brought $20,00O Year

Washington, July 12-Congressman Andy May of Kentucky godfather of the proteers has had quite a record for sucking the nepotism bottle. Regard less of what he did did not receive from the Erie Basin contractors at time the total take from Government jobs for himself and relatives around S20,000 annually.
 Here is the nepotism card of the Government jobs held at various times by his family: Mrs. Julia c. May, wife, secretary ...... s3,O00 Mrs. Bess s. May, daugher-in-law,

 In addition, Mays son, the late Andrew J. May, IT,, and his nephew, Jack May, given jobs with the mysterious Cumberland Lumber Company, financed by the Erie Basin Company and which May apparently operated.
 Note-May received more than S4s,OOO from the Erie Basin proteers to set the lumber company but when the money returned by him last April the Erie people got back only S4O,O0O. Thus May around him spent used around 5000 which is unaccounted for. ontinued Page 6-(dERRY. GO.ROI1Nnl

causes of a crash of one of the planes near Reading, Pa, while on a training flight. Five persons were killed.
 Pan-American AirWays, trans World Airlines and American Over seas Airlines, which used the planes, struggled with smaller planes to handle hundreds of passengers who had reservations on the giant machines.
 Substitute With DC-4
 All three lines announced they would try to substitute Douglas DC-4 Skymasters for the Lockheed Consultations so that as few sched- ules as possible would be canceled.
 Approximately 42 of the aerial giants were in use by United States lines. The planes, largest land ice, carry between 40 and 50 pas sengers each, and are one of Amer lca's major long-range carriers.
 Civil Aeronautics Administrator T. P. Wright announced the 30-day emergency suspension of the planes airWorthiness certificates pending an investigation of the Reading crash. It was the third mis- hap within year for the luxury airliners which were conceived in 1889 by VIVA President Jack Frye and Howard Hughes, millionaire aviator sportsman who crashed this week while test-fying another of his products-an XF-11 photo-re- conna1ssance plane.
 Last Summer a Pan-American Constellation lost an engine over Kansas while transporting troops. Recently Pan-American pilot made forced belly landing at Will lmantic. Conn, after an engine fell of his Constellation bound for Eu- rope
 Amazed at Order
 President Robert E. Gross of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, which manufactures the Constella- ton, expressed 'amazement" at the Government order, but described it as purely precautionary" He said Lockheed engineers have gone to Reading to participate with CAA in the investigation. *..
 The mammoth plane, which has been in commercial service less than a year, was designed to carry 60 passengers on domestic routes and up to 48 on international flights. Its top speed is more than $50 miles an hour and it will fly above the weather at 3o0oo feet. It is power ed by four Wright cyclone 2,200 horse power engines, and has a gross take-off weight of more than 90,o00 pounds.
 The plane has been record breaker since it's first trans-conti- mental flight when Hughes and Frye flew one to Washington from Burbank in six hours, 57 minutes and 5l seconds, using only 65 per cent power. Last December VIVA lnaugurated Washington to Paris service with l2-hour, 57 minute crossing.
 The Pan-American accident at Willimantic was caused, CAA said, by breaking of the drive shaft by which the engine drove the cabin pressurizer. These shafts after ward were removed on CAA orders from all Consultations, including the one which crashed yesterday The Pan-American accident in which an engine was lost last Sum- ner was said to have resulted from an induction-type engine fire whose causes have since been eliminated.
