Heard byGarsson Jury

J. Nicholas Long, New York at
torney, testified today before the
special grand jury investigating the
Carson munitions combine, follow
ing a two-hour appearance by a
former personnel chief of the Chem
ical Warfare Service.
Mr.. Long was one of six witnesses

New Legion Chief Condemns
Partisan Politics mus. Policy
Relations With VA
Will Begin Anew
Griffith Declares

Paul n. Grifith, new national
commander Of the American Legion,
today urged that partisan politics
be kept out Of foreign policy"
At the first press conference here
since his election two weeks ago, Mr..
Grifan said this stand is a key part
Of the Legion's foreign policy plat
form, which also strongly supports
Secretary Of State Byrnes.
Told that Elliott Roosevelt had
made speech last night accusing
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan, adviser to Mr.. Byrnes, of
mixing politics in foreign affairs,
Mr.. Grifnth said the Legion con-
demns anyone, whether 1t be Elliott
Roosevelt or Senator Vandenberg,
who tries to mix foreign policy in
politics.
The commander also emphasized
that relations between the Legion
and the Veterans Administration
will begin anew" and promised
that personalities" will be kept on
an impartial basis. A heated clash
arose at the Legion convention be-
tween former Comdr. John Stelle
and Veterans Administrator Omar
N. Bradley on the Issue of on-the-
job training pay ceilings.
Favors End Of Ceilings.
Mr.. Grifith said the Legion will
carry the fight for outright repeal
of the ceilings to the next Congress,
and told reporters he has been in
vited to confer this week with Gen.
Bradley.
Mr.. Griffith said he will also visit
the White House for q meeting with
President Truman this week.
Mr.. Grin1th also revealed that q
newly appointed seven-man COM
mittee appointed to study veterans
housing problems, will invite Gov
ernment officials to hearings here
November 4 to 8.
The committee, all World War II
men, will make specific recommen-
dations for establishment Of an
American Legion housing program.
Another key part of the Legion's
program will be opposition to any Of
the "isms." Mr.. Grinith said the
Legion is "as much opposed to COM
munism as to facism." He said
communism might be termed "red
naziism."

cember selling at $3.50 cents q
pound, March at 80 and May at
31.55.
Heavy buying marked the reopen
ing in New Orleans. Traders con-
sidered 1t a continuance Of selling
of the last three sessions when the
market hit the $40 limit on each day.
Whether other brokers lost in the
week end liquidation of the large
operator was undetermined, as no
records were made public by the ex-
change.
Liquidated Holdings.
D. T. Manget, Jr., president of the
New Orleans Exchange, announced
last night that the operator whose
selling accounted for most Of the
break liquated his holdings over the
week end. The operator was identi-
fed only as "a single large long In
tereSt."
The exchange president said in q
formal statement that the rapid
liquidation" Of the long interest
greatly augmented" trading IN fu-
lures and that the boards Of direc-
tors of the New Orleans and New
York Exchanges decided to close the
market Saturday so that ''the means
of facilitating the liquidation Of the
remainder Of this position" could
be studied.
"Over the week end the liquida-
ton of this interest has been COM
pleted," Mr.. Manget's statement said.
Can't Justify Break.
Meanwhile, in Greenville, Miss,
a House Of Representatives subcom-
mittee on cotton issued q statement
saying that "other than activities Of
gamblers, we have been unable to
justify the drastic break which took
place in the cotton market last
week"
The statement of the committee,
composed of Chairman Pace Of
Georgia, Representatives Poage OF
Texas, Abernethy Of Mississippi and
Grant Of Alabama, urged farmers
to hold their cotton OIL the market
to correct the recent price break.
I'VE have the shortest supply In
20 years." the committee statement
said. I'VE doubt the crop this year
will exceed $500, 900 bales. We have
the greatest demand for cotton
goods in all history.
Condition Held Temporary.
This huge demand for cotton
goods has been based upon the raw
cotton prices that were prevailing
before the market break.
Therefore, the break in cotton
prices was not caused by any of the
fundamental supply and demand
factors which really determine
prices, but as a purely temporary
combination of circumstances which
developed in the future market.
This situation can be corrected
if the farmer will simply hold his
cotton of the market for the time
being. OF course. the buyers will pay
no more than necessary"
The committee was en- route to

Kent Attorney Expects
To Close His Defense
In SANDER Suit Today

william A. Gallagher, attorney for
Otis Bcall Kent, So, wealthy tax at
torney being sued in District Court
for alleged breach Of promise and
slander by Miss Margaret Buchanan,
46, a nurse, said he expects to close
his case today.

jury of a deposition by William
Spence Harvey, former Army lieu
tenant and at one time companion

The deposition described the re-
lation between Mr.. Harvey and Miss
Buchanan for some nine years after
1928. 1t quoted Mr.. Harvey as say
ing Miss Buchanan stopped seeing
him in 1887.
Miss Buchanan, according to the
paper, told him she was not strong

take care of her.
According to the deposition Mr..
Harvey divided a $500 soldiers
bonus "50-50" with Miss Buchanan
and his wife and children in 1886.
Mr.. Harvey was quoted as saying
he had not been promised any re-
ward from Mr.. Kent for his testi-
mony. He said he furnished in
formation to Mr.. Kent at the sug-
gestion Of his wife in the interest
of fairness"
Miss Buchanan became acquainted
with Mr.. Kent when she was en-
ployed in 1910 as nurse for his
Ill mother. She says she remained
lat his apartment for a while after
Mrs. Kent's death in June, 1910.
Mr.. Kent has denied that she spent
more than 10 days there overnight
during that time and also denied
he had discussed marriage with her.

EIectronic Calculator
To Forecast Weather
At lightning Speed
By Thomos R. Henry
ca. cff

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 81. -
Brains with radio tubes for gray
cells which can compute million
times faster than most mechanical
computers known today now are
possible.
This was asserted before the Ma
tional Academy OF Sciences meeting
here today by DR.. John Won Neu-
mann of Princeton University, one
of the country's foremost mathema-
ticians who had major part in
devising the calculating machines
developed by the Army during the
war
Present calculating machines are
crude compared to the new devices,
DR.. Won Neumann told the academy,
which was to have opened its meet
ings in Washington this morning but
transferred them here because of
the hotel strike.
Will Speed Weather Forecasts.
The new machines with elec-
tronic brains, he said, probably will
open hitherto undreamed-of pos
sibilities in both forecasting and
even influencing weather. Meteo-
rologists now are handicapped by
the difficulty of analyzing with
enough speed for daily, or ever
weekly forecasts, the enormous
amount of data which is available
The ultrarapid calculations, Dr.
Won Neuman pointed out, probably
will lead to- much clearer under
standing of weather phenomens
with the possibility of doing some
thing about it.
Daily data from the central part
of the Eurasian continent now is
essential for forecasting major
weather changes in the United
States, DR.. C. G. A. Roseby of the
University of Chicago, told the
academy.
Pressure Waves Discovered.
There nave recently been dis
covered, he said, pressure waves In
the high atmosphere which are
transmitted from east to west
across the European continent and
the Atlantic. They may travel with
very great speeds compared with
ordinary weather movements, which
on the American continent usually
move from west to east.
Eventually it will be necessary, he
said, to set up a network of floating
and island weather stations in the
southern hemisphere, which has
been largely neglected in weather
forecasting in the past. There is
growing evidence, according to DR.
Roseby, that conditions south OF the
equator have profound repercus-
sions on subsequent weather condi-
tions for several months duration
in the Northern Hemisphere.
