Arrest Two In WAA Fraud

WASHINGTON, (P)-FBI Di- rector J. Edgar Hoover, announced today the arrest of a war assets administration official and an ex- convict on charges of fraud.
 Hoover identified the men as George A. Gormley, an ex-convict and Louis V. Diooner, WAA expe- diter, and said they evolved a scheme" to obtain textiles through alteration of sales documents at a sale conducted by the WAA in Alexandria, Va. Both are residents of Washington, D. C.
 Hoover said both men are charged with a violation of the fraud against the government statute in that they caused a forged document to be presented to the United States government"
 "The investigation thus far" Hoover said, "has resulted in the recovery of textiles costing the government $144,OOO. This amount of goods was seized in New York storage firm after being traced from a terminal of tucking | firm"
 Hoover's announcement said the two men reportedly met at a Washington hotel bar last Novem- Der "and thereafter conceived g plan which assured the delivery to Gormley of more high-grade Woolen goods fom the government warehouse than he had formerly purchased and paid for" at the Alexandria sale.

In surprise declaration to q

mission, Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko de-
clared that a quota system should
be established by special conven-
ttion.
The Russian delegate, who has
differed sharply with the United
States and the majority of the
atomic commission on fundamental
issues such as the veto and strict
inspections, said he viewed the quo
ia question as one which could bring
the delegates more closely together
to q greater degree than they have
been to the present.

Tells Of Being Robbed.
A man being treated for cuts at
Providence Hospital told police he
was attacked and robbed by three
colored men whose description he
gave to police. The report went
over the teletype. The next day,
in the robbery squad ofnce, he ad-
mitted that he had had a fight with
his wife in the course of which he
had been cut, and that he made
the false report to keep from get
ing his wife in trouble. His domes-
tic troubles have turned into an
other robbery" case.
A bakery truck driver reported
that "a hours previously he had been
held up by four. colored men and
robbed of $2l5. After the report
went over the teletype, he admitted
he had made fake report to cover
my losses with the bakery" Under
previous practice, the fact that he
had waited "a hours and that it
was company money he reported
stolen would have meant an investi-
cation before a robbery report was
fsent over the teletype. This time,
however, the report immediately
went over the teletype and became
q robbery in the District.
A colored houseman reported he
was robbed by two colored men who
took $26 and his suitcase full OF
clothes. The report went over the
teletype. When he was questioned
by robbery squad detectives later,
he said the report was untrue. He
explained he had just gone to work
for woman to whom he had given
his promise he wouldn't drink.

Dewey Resumes Tour,
'48. Chances Briqhter

| SALT LAKE CITY, July II (41.-
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, his presi-
Dental stock obviously boosted dur
ing the Governors Conference,
leaves tonight on the third leg of
his vacation political tour of the
West.
The New York chief executive
will confer with Republican leaders
of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming
during a weeks sightseeing tour OF
Yellowstone National Park and
nearby scenic meccas.
Gov. Dewey's prospects of winning
the 1948 Republican presidential
nomination were enhanced, in the
opinion of political observers, during
the conference which closed last
night.
His lop-sided victory over all other
prospective candidates in a secret
poll of the Republican Governors
here indicated that Gov. Dewey had
more widespread support than even
his own advisers believed was rep
resented in the sentiment of the
State chief executives.
Prior to the poll, conducted by
the Associated Press in >co-opera-
ton with two Salt Lake City news
papers, numerous reports circulated
among the conference observers that
an anti-Dewey sentiment was form
ing among influential Republicans
from key States.
Gov. Dewey paid no public atten-
ton to the. stories and reiterated
that his attendance at the confer
ence was strictly "nonpolitical.' u
But he held more huddles with
Governors and other Republican
leaders than any other State execu-
| tive
An informed source said these
talks indicated Gov. Dewey was not
conceding any States delegation to
the opposition at the national con-
vention in Philadelphia next June.
The New Yorker met frequently
and at length with Gov. Earl War
rem of California, who finished Sec
ond in the poll with two first-choice
votes to Gov. Dewey's 10.
Because of these talks, specula-
ton persisted that he was trying to
persuade Gov. Warren to take Sec
ond place on Dewey-led ticket
| California sources close to Gov.
Warren claimed, however, that he
would take the presidential nomina-
ton or nothing. They said also that
the Californian was not organizing
to make a fight for the nomination
but almost beyond all doubt was
receptive"
Mrs. Dewey may not accompany
the Governor and their two sons.

ton of both arms last week at
