missing suit brought by Policeman
Robert J., Maghan, jr., against the
District government and several
officials from whom he sought
$l5o.000 damages for alleged libel

municipality had named Commits
sioner John Russell Young, Col.

tired as police superintendent, and
Detective Chief Robert ]. Barrett.
Mr.. Maghan's suit had alleged

thorities" regarding a party given
to honor Inspector Barrett for
promotion to detective chief. Later,

spseiol Di,po,eh 10 Tn. stor

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 19.-Hans
Kinder and the National Symphony
Orchestra were welcomed back in
Augusta last night by large, warmly
appreciative audience. The concert
was given in the Municipal Audi
torium, which DR.. Kinder and the
orchestra opened six years ago.
Prolonged applause greeted DR..
Kindlers appearance on the stage.
1t was personal tribute, but the
applause that greeted completion of
the opening number on the program
and throughout the evening, was
envoked by the fine program and
by the enthusiasm and precision
with which 1t was performed.
The orchestra, presenting series
of concerts in various cities of the
South, showed no signs of strain.
1t played not only with the skill of
trained technicians but with vitality
and a remarkable sense of style.
This was particularly notable in
Hayden's Symphony No. 88 in G
Major" second number on program.
1t was played with the clarity, the
utter simplicity, and the virtuosity
of a string quartet.
OF special interest to the audi
ence was DR.. Kindler's presentation
of Chopin's "Polonaise, opus 25,"
arranged by him for the orchestra.
At its conclusion, the audience
called DR.. Kinder back to stage
repeatedly. He finally responded
with two encores, "Minuet" by
Purcall from The Persian Princess"
and Dimitri Shostakovita' satirical
Polka" distinctly Oriental in at
mosphere.
Seldom has Rimsky- -Korsakoy's
Suite Symphonique Scheherazde"

ence refused to cease applauding

before the hearings end include
Secretary of the Navy Forres-
tai, Ralph K. Davies, a former
executive vice president of Standard
Oil of California and now deputy
petroleum administrator for war
and William A. Patterson, president
OF United Air Lines.
Senator Tobey refused to say in

Andrews Backs Pauley.
Senator Andrews, Democrat OF
Florida, a member of the commit
tee, announced late yesterday he
will vote for Mr.. Pauley, declaring
Il am bound to stand by the Pres
ident," as against Harold Ickes
who resigned recently as Secretary
OF Interior after his testimony had
delivered a telling blow at Mr.
Pauley's chances of confirmation.
A few days ago influential DEM
ocratic sources at the Capitol were
predicting that they could not
muster majority in the Senate to
confirm Mr.. Pauley, and they are
still pessimistic over the outcome
In the last two days, however
some close observers of the situation
have suggested that the verbal
clash between Mr.. Ickes and Pres
ident Truman might help Mr.
Pauley, If it should cause some
Democrats to rally to the support
Of the President. This thought was
reflected in the statement of SEN
ator Andrews.
Mr.. Pauley has been preparing a
comprehensive reply to the various
complaints leveled at him since
the hearing began, but he probably
will not present that statement

suit against Edward j. Noble, former
owner of WMCA and former Under

900 damages.
Mr.. Noble purchased the property
in 1910 for $780, 900 and subsequently
sold it to Nathan Stfaus, New York
financier, for ST Use, 900. Mr.. Flamm
charged that he sold in the belief
that if he did not sell to Mr.. Noble

attention to the WMCA case.

right. We have got him scared
now, and he cannot back out this
time. If he had not agreed to sell
it might be different, but he won't
back out on us now"
He added that Mr.. Dempsey said
When Noble employed us to buy
the station for him, we told him

Job Hunters Facino
Weeks Of Waiting 10
Be Interviewed al VA

Il A Job-hunting veteran may have
to wait two weeks to a month to be
interviewed for a job in the Veter-
ans Administration, it was learned
today.
Admitting the delay at a time
when VA has been calling for more
workers, a spokesman said:
l. Rather than have veterans wait
hours to see an interviewer, ap-
pointments are made for some fu-
ture date-two weeks to a month
away.
z. Whether there's a job opening
or not, VA gives complete inter-
VleWs-advising veterans on all
thelr rights and prospects.
s. veterans are coming to Wash
ington for jobs they could get more
easily by going to VA branch officers
near their homes.
The spokesman said 18 interview
ers and 4 receptionists have been
interviewing 1900 job-seekers a
week, as compared with 325 week
last August. During January, 1900
applicants were hired through the
headquarters Office.
VA was the first Government
agency given permission to hire its
own workers because it was suffer-
ing from personnel shortage and
contended it could put people on the
payroll faster through its own
efforts.
The spokesman said hiring
speedup was expected soon. More
interviewers, he said, will be put to
work when the construction section
moves out OF its quarters in the CEN
trail office and the personnel section
expands. The move is expected to
be completed shortly" the Official
said.

The committee has been told tht

other oil groups. Mr.. Judson testi.
fed he was engaged to perform lega
work for supporters of the measure
Senator Tobey produced Cali.
fornia election law records showine
that contributions totaling $3.50 ,50(
as having been made in the 1896
conservation campaign in Mr.. Jud.
sons name. Mr.. Judson said he
made no personal contribution, and
defended the legality of the cam.
paign report, in which the funds
raised were reported in his name
instead OF being itemized.
Senator Tydings made public q
letter, addressed to Mr.. Pauley from
Mr.. Ickes, dated November IA, 1899
in which the then Secretary of In
terror expressed his regret at de-
feat of the oil conservation measure
and cited President Roosevelt's sup
port of the legislation. The Mary
lander made the point that all three
-Ickes, Pauley and Roosevelt
stood together on the issue.
Another witness late yesterday
was John l.. Akerman, Chicago
salesman for radio chain, who also
took part in the California oil con.
servation fight in 1899. Mr.. Aker-
man testified Mr.. Pauley turned be.
tween $25 900 and $4,000 over te
him in cash for use in the cam
paign, but he said he did not know
whether it was Mr.. Pauley's money
or money raised by one of the COM
mittees in the campaign. The wit
ness testified the money was used
to finance printed material in a
weekly publication.
Mr.. Akerman said that at one
strategy meeting of the group he
was working with he suggested ii
would help the cause if they at
tackled Standard Oil. He said that
idea was dropped after it was OBJ
jected to by Mr.. Davies, then execu-
tive vice president of Standard. Mr.
Akerman quoted Mr.. Davies as hav-
ing said, MY folks are not going to
stay hitched to spend their money
to call themselves crooks"
Asked by Chairman Walsh if he
ever had any trouble with Mr.
Pauley, Mr.. Akerman said he had
some difficulty in collecting money
he had spent in setting up a cam
paign Office in the 1910 Roosevelt
campaign in California.
Senator Tydings brought out that
Mr.. Pauley had not contracted the
obligation, but had later undertaken
to settle the debts for the campaign
in Southern California. Mr.. Aker-
man said his claim was settled for
so cents on the dollar.
