Meyers Friends
Got Contract,
Bell Testifies
Aircraft Firm Head
Says He Acted at
Generals Request
By Robert K. Welsh

Evidence that Maj. Gen. Ben
nett E. Meyers recommended
that Bell Aircraft Corp. give war
subcontracts to a Dayton (Ohio)
concern owned by friends
came out today at the Senate
War Investigating Subcommit-
tee inquiry into Air Force pro-
curement practices.
Lawrence D. Bell, president of the
aircraft company, testified his cor
poration gave $1053,500 in sub
contracts to the Aviation Electric
Corp, of Dayton, the company he
said Gen Meyers recommended to
him in 1910.
He was asked by Chairman Fergu-
son if Gen. Meyers told him whether
or not he had a financial or other
connection with the Dayton concern
Gen. Meyers did not mention that,
Mr.. Bell replied.
AS the hearing recessed for today
Gen. Meyers called reporters in the
hearing room ana announced he had
asked a court martial on what he
termed "the charges" of the Senate
group.
Air Force officers confirmed that
They said he asked it verbally in
October and was Informed that it
could not be granted.
Learned of Holdings Recently.
Mr.. Bell also testified he did not
know until six weeks ago that Gen
Meyers ever held stock in the Bell
Company. Gen. Meyers stock in the
company, according to testimony
Yesterday, was part of a total OF
2,700 shares in seven large aircraft
corporations held in 1943 by Gen
Meyers, former Air Force procure
ment deputy chief, but which he did
not disclose to his superior officers
Mr.. Bell was followed on the stand
by Mai. Gen. Oliver P. Echols, re-
tired chief of Air Force procure
ment, who said Gen. Meyers held
some stock in the Dayton concern
early in 1910, but promised to dis
pose of it.
At that time the Dayton company
had no contracts with the Govern
ment, Gen. Echols said. Gen. Ech-
OILS said he spoke" to Gen. Meyers
"as precautionary measure" and
advised him to "disconnect himself
from the company.
Gen. Meyers promised to do SC
and $50 far as I know he did, Gen
Echols testified.
Gen. Echols, now head of the
Aircraft Manufacturers National
Trade Association, was all immedi-
ate superior of Gen. Meyers during
the war
Asked About Letter.
The first question asked him re-
lated to letter sent to 10 prom
inent officers, including him and
Gen. Meyers, asking for report
of any aircraft company stock they
might have held. This letter was
sent by 1t. Gen. George E. Strate-
meyer at the direction of Gen. H
H, Arnold, then Air Force COM
mander.
Earlier, Isaiah Matlack, chief OF
the war fraud section of the criminal
division of the Justice Department
told the subcommittee he believed
the Air Force in 1945 should have
investigated charges against Gen
Meyers that we're contained in ar
anonymous letter.
That letter was received by the
FBI and referred to the Air Force

letter was filed without action by the

New York Psychiatrist
Chosen 10 Investigate
Ga||inger Conditions
Dr.. Wortis to Recommend
Corrective Action for
Psychopothie Division
By Miriom Ottenberq

Dr. Samuel 3. WOTtlS, 1ledQ VI
the psychiatric division of New
York's Bellevue Hospital, has
been chosen by the United
States Public Health Service to
make a top-to-b bottom investiga-
ton of the psychopathic division
of Gallinger Hospital, it was
learned today.
The independent investigation was
requested by DR.. A. R. Sweeney
Gallinger Hospital superintendent
who first proposed such a study two
years ago. Health Oficer George
c. Ruhland transmitted the request
to the Public Health Service.
DR.. Robert H. Felix, head Of the
Public Health Service menta
hygiene division, said DR.. Wortis
has been asked to come to Washing.
ton within the next two weeks and
to take as long as he needs to COM
plete his survey.
Recommendations Prepared.
Selection of DR.. Wortis came as
Gallinger Hospital officials were pre-
pairing a preliminary set of reco.
mendations for submission to Com.
missioner Guy Mason.
The recommendations were or
dered by Commissioner Mason as a
basis for action after The Star, in a
series of articles, pictured CALM
gers psychopathic wards as "as dis
grace to Washington. H."
DR.. Felix said he wants the New
York psychiatrist to investigate the
psychopathic wards from the stand
point of service rendered to patients
to enumerate the defects and te
make recommendations for correc.
tive action.
Experienced in Psychiatry.
DR.. Wortis, who is a consultant
in neuropsychiatry for the Public
Health Service, was selected be.
cause he heads a similar division in
New York's municipal hospital ano
has had long experience in psychia-
try, DR.. Felix explained.
DR.. Wortis is also professor o1
psychiatry at New York University
Medical College and will be ablt
to consider Gallinger's psychopatit
division from the point of view o1
what it needs to become a teaching
center, DR.. Felix added.
DR.. Felix said DR.. Wortis would &C
over the psychopathic wards from
the kitchens to the social service de.
partment. He will study patien
care, whether the staff is inadequate
in numbers and experience, whether
the staff pay is too low, whether
the budget is inadequate, whether
the atmosphere is grim and un'
wholesome and what can be don,
with existing, facilities.
!: To Report to Ruhland.
"We are calling on the best maj
we have with the experience needed
for this investigation" DR.. Fell,
said. "He will make an OBJECTIVE
study, and whatever he finds, w
will report to DR.. Rutland"
DR.. Wortis is a specialist both il
neurology and psychiatry. The 49,
year-old psychiatrist was an in
terne and served as resident physi
clan at Bellevue, where he also di
rected an experimental laborator,
in neuro-psychiatry for six years
His specialist training also included
study at the Phipps Clinic of John
Hopkins University. He has servet
on numerous boards and commits
sions, including one to study tn

Check Over Your Winter Coat
While You Have the Opportunity
by &,tta Haley

MR.. WEATHER MAN has many
w warm days stored up for us
undoubtedly, but it's still good
idea to check over your fall and
winter coats. In case you can't do
the kind of repairing and remodel
ing job you want on your old coat,
you will have plenty of time to go
shopping before the selection is all
picked over.
Many coats will give another sea-
son or two of wear if the lining is
replaced, and this should be done
before the old one is too worn to be
used as pattern.
Innings may be made of several
different kinds of fabric, but the
most popular are silk, rayon, cotton
or twill. They may, Of course, be
mixtures of any of the above named
materials.
When you are selecting a new
lining material, it's good idea to
check over the old fabrics and see
which ones give the best wear, and
then try to get one of that material.
Some lining materials tend to ravel
readily, you know, and are rem
dered practically useless when it
comes to sewing.
You'll also want to bear in mind
the sewing qualities of the material.
Taffeta was once popular, but very
hard to sew on. You also must try
to match the material of the lining
to the coat and this is most easily
done if you take piece of material
with you when you 60 to do the pur-
chasing,

If your coat has lost that touch of
newness it first had, here are some
tips on restoring it to make it look
better.
Other Alterations To
Make Coat Look Better
Give the coat thorough brushing
to restore the nap of the fabric,
steam or have it cleaned to make it
look fresh.
Lengthen or shorten the sleeves
and hem to make them fit better.
These are both rather minor altera-
tons but they probably will aid the
appearance of the coat if such
change is needed. Make adjust
ments in a full length mirror if
necessary so that you will have
good idea what you want to do.
If sleeves are frayed, turn them
up Slightly to hide the worn part
and press neatly.
Change buttons if they are worn
or discolored. Use same size so no
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1947-08-22

alteration is necessary in button
hole.
Fur also may be changed but this
is best done professionally. If coat
has velvet or other fabric trim
ming, this may be refreshed by
changing, and the job may be done
at home.
Refitting the coat may be neces-
sary if your figure has undergone a
change since last season. Do this at
home with some help if you are
competent. Sometimes it's only nee
essary to change or move the
buttons.

pleat. Measure this and allow for it
on the new lining. When you do any
cutting, observe the grain lines,
marking them, if necessary.
Cut the fabric and make marks
on new lining to correspond with
those on old lining.
Basic all seams - sleeves and
body of lining-in fact all except
shoulder seams, and press open be-
fore fitting into the coat.
Making the Lining
Fit the Coat
When you have the lining basted,
lay the coat itself on the table
wrong side out. The lining should be
placed on the coat so that the wrong
side of the coat and wrong side of
the lining meet.
The underarm seams then are
pinned and other seams tackled in
place. Use long stitches and work
on the wrong side.
If the lining seems to draw, ease
it wherever necessary, 1t should lie
fiat all over the coat.
The lining is pinned to the back
armhole, then the shoulder seams
are turned back and basted. The
fold edge over the front also is
basted.
At the back neckline about one
inch below the seam allowance pin
from each side toward the center so
that the extra fullness will become
the pleat at the center back to allow
for movement.
When the coat is basted COM
pletely, turn and try on If there is
any tightness or drawing anywhere,
check carefully, let out, pin again
and haste. Remember, you will
only be as comfortable in the coat
as your lining permits.
Select Stitch
For Fabric
When you do the actual sewing on
the lining, you will want to test the
stitch on piece of lining material.
This is very important so the seams
will not draw or quicker.
Before you remove the lining
from the coat, watch to see where
catches have been taken to make
the lining fit more accurately. The
back pleat, for example, you will
notice, is always caught at about
the waist.
The hem of the lining usually is
finished by hand after the lining is
attached. Turn the hem line one
inch shorter than the hem of the
coat, haste, press and try on to see
that it does not hang below the
coat hem. Use one inch hem on
the lining and hem. The lining hem
usually is fastened by lacking to
each seam of the coat to keep the
lining from dropping. French tacks,
which are like buttonhole loops are
used most frequently.
