Grand Jury 10 Hear
.Garssons' Full Story,
Their Lawyer Says

Counsel for Henry M. and Murray
w. Carson said today he had ad-
vised them to tell the full story
for the first time" to the special
grand jury investigating their war
time manufacturing operations.
The two brothers were expected
to testify late this afternoon. For
more than two hours this morning
the jury questioned Albert B. Cell
man, a former Carson partner, in
| the operation of the Erie Basin
lBetal Products Corp. at Elgin, I'll.
Another witness this morning was
Edward Glazier of Chicago, whose
name was mentioned in Senate War
Investigating Committee hearings
last summer.
After conference with the Cars
son brothers this morning, Charles
j. Margiotti of Pittsburgh, their at
torney, said that when they go be-
fore the jury they will not refuse to
answer questions on the constitu-
tional ground such testimony might
incriminate them. Mr.. Margiotti
declared that this will be the first
time that his clients will have told
their side of the story.
It was recalled that Henry Cars
son refused, on constitutional
grounds, to testify before the Senate
committee in public sessions last
June. He previously had testified In
closed session with the COMMITTEES.
At that time his brother was In Cuba
and repeatedly was too Ill to come to
Washington. Mr. sMargiotti declared
today that Murray Carson was Sc
riously Ill and still Is in poor health,
but that he never refused to return
to Washington.
The jury also planned to question
several other former officials of the
Erie Basin Co. and the Batavia Metal
Products Corp, two of the main
concerns in the accompany COM
bine which the Garssons controlled
during the war.

Carey Of cIo Attacks
Lewis as Arrogant,
But Defends Miners

| John L. Lewis was termed "arro.
CANT" last night by James B
Carey. secretary treasurer Of the
CIO, and q former colleague Of the
mine leader when the United Mine
Workers Union was still part oi
the CIO.
The young labor leader told an
audience that came to hear public
forum discussion of Labor in Gov
fernment" that he had much SYM
pathy with the mine workers, but
very little for Mr.. Lewis.
His only comment on the Govern
ment's report to a court injunction
in an attempt to halt the coal
strike was to remind his hearers
that the CIO mad adopted a resolu-
ton condemning it.
Both Mr.. Carey and Frank Fen
ton, AFL director of organization
were critical Of Government policy
which, they said, keeps men from
the ranks of labor from influential
Government posts.
Urges Conservative Role.
'eThe first Secretary of Labor was
an active trade unionist," Mr.. Fen
ton said, "but today the Labor
Department is running around with
a neutral face"
He said he was not advocating
jobs for trade unionists, but that
Government should accord labor a
Consultative capacity" and not
merely advisory" He stated the
Labor Departments neutrality"
was out of place in a Government,
where the Agriculture Department
was 'profarmer" and the Commerce
Department was "probusiness,
Speaking on the same subject, Mr..
Carey said the Government gave
positions of trust to Edward Stetti-
MUS with a United States Steel
background; viii Clayton. BUSH
neSSman, and Nelson Rockefeller,
but to suggest the appointment of a
labor man is to bring special in
terest into the Government"
Differ on Government Strikes.
There was difference of opinion
on whether Government workers
should exercise the right to strike,
with Mr.. Fenton declaring, you
can't have strikes against the Gov
ernment." Mr.. Carey said the Gov
ernment should provide machinery
to adjust grievances, and where
that machinery is denied "then
Government workers should exer-
else their right to strike"
Chairman of the forum, sponsored
by the Washington Workers Educa-
tion Committee, was G. P. Van
Arkel, general counsel of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. He
traced the legal history of the labor
movement In America and then
turned the meeting over to the
labor Spokesmen.
The next session of the forum,
which meets in Pierce Hall, Six
teenth and Harvard streets NV,
will be on December 8, when Labor

Against Distributors

Seven major motion picture dis
tributing companies and the Louis
Bernheimer Theater Co. OF Wash
ington, today were charged In a
District Court civil suit with con-
spiracy to restrain trade and viola
tion OF the Sherman Antitrust
Act.

NE, and the Newton, Twelfth and
Newton streets ME, both operated

ater, opened last December 26, is a
beautiful, ultramodern theater
seating many people. in which there
is an investment Of over $500, 900. I"
The suit stated that seven and a
half. months before the haywood
Theater was opened, the defendants
took steps to insure that the Bern
heimer Theaters would have a COM
petitive preference on the pictures
they received.
This, the suit charged, is causing
a loss of patronage to the Haywood
Theater and depriving the public of
the right to see the pictures at the
earliest possible date available for
that theater.

Government attorneys conceded
that the District Court trial might
last days, perhaps weeks-and
longer than the national economy
could possibly stand the strangu-
lation of its basic fuel supply.
The contempt issue which could
result in. Jail for Mr.. Lewis and
stiff fines for him and the union
will be taken up first in the double
action trial.
Authority Challenged.
Then the court will explore the
question of permanently restrain
ing UMW's strike action which has
halted coal digging in 20 states.
The contempt count is based on
Mr.. Lewis disregard for Justice
Goldsborough's order of last week
that he rescind his termination OF
the miners contract with the Gov
eminent. In yesterdays brief hear
ing, ending with setting of the trial
for tomorrow, Mr.. Lewis attorneys
contended Justice Goldsborough had
no authority in law to issue the
order.
On the political side of the crisis
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, renewed his call for Mr..
Truman to resign, declaring In a
broadcast that the Chief Executive
cannot deal with MIR. Lewis unless
supported by "the. full authority

it was unable to do in four months.
Mr.. Brown suggested to Mr..
Spence that he meet the issue in
a logical way by asking the House
to vote a straight extension OF the
old law for six months instead of
three weeks. Mr.. Spence said he
thought it would be unreasonable
to propose an extension of that
length under suspension of the rules.
Second Veto Feared.
Mr.. Halleck wanted to know what
assurance could be given that If
Congress works out a substitute for
the vetoed bill the President would
sign that. Mr.. Spence said he
couldn't give amy assurance in ad-
vance.
aiority Leader Mccormack. who
had listened quitely to the exchange
entered the Rules Committee with
an effort to pour oil on the troubled
waters. He said the President had
exercised his constitutional power
In vetoing the bill and that the
House should be practical enough to
meet the situation as it existed with
out trying to blame any one. Mr.
Mccormack said frankly that. while
he thought the vetoed measure was
a rotten BILL" he had told the
President it was this bill or moth

II the House had taken up the
20-day extension yesterday-the day
it was introduced - two-thirds

suffice.
Meanwhile, in the Senate Chair
man Wagner of the Banking Com
mittee was trying, without success,
to get unanimous consent to start
the 20-day extension on that side,
but several voices were raised in
objection, including Senators
ODaniel, and Wherry, Republican
Of Nebraska.

objections, so that the resolution

OF the effect of the agency's death.
Senator Pepper suggested that
consumers TRY to avoid buying as
much as possible" and let their
members of Congress know their
views. While Senator O'Daniel
would not say he planned to renew
ms objection to unanimous consent
TO introduce the 2O-day extension
resolution Monday, he made it clear
ne Will continue to fight against the
re-establishment of price control.
Mr.. Truman'S veto took manv law
makers by surprise, because admin
lstration leaders in both houses had
urged their colleagues to pass the
Dill, despite its weakening amend
ments, with the fiat prediction that
they could not get through a straight
extension. On Friday Speaker Raw
burn, Senate Majority Leader Bark
ley, House Majority Leader McCor-
mack and President of the Senate
McKellar repeated the same ad-
monition to Mr.. Truman at the
White House.
Many Change Stand.
When the roll was called on the
veto in the House, some Democrats
who had voted for the bill, as the
best they could get, switched and
voted to sustain the veto. At the
same time some members of both
parties who wanted to end price con-
troll also voted to sustain the veto.
Representative Spence, in charge
of the bill, revealed to the House
that he, too, had urged the Presi-
dent to sign the bill, although it
did not go as far as Mr.. Spence de-
sired in holding the price line. Mr..
Spence informed the House, how
ever, that, since the President had
concluded it was unavoidable. he
would vote to sustain the veto and
try to get three-week straight
extension.

stock dairy herds that have been
depleted during the course of the
