papers to the effect that he was q
guest of Pan American on a trip te
South America. The Senator said
he noted with interest that this
was one charge Mr.. Hughes did not
repeat under oath today.

check to Pan American for s2,02S. 60
for that trip" the Senator con-
tinued.
He said he also had read that
Johnny Meyer was down in South
America investigating Brewster's
trip" The Senator said he received
no hospitality from Pan American
except the most casual sort" so I
think Johnny must have had a
fruitless trip to South America"
Senator Ferguson asked Sena-

thing was said in his meeting with
Mr.. Hughes about putting the in

House Commanders

BY the Asseeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. Com
munists are preventing revolt in
Hungary through network of
house commanders, contends DR..
Valentine de ALA, refugee pro-
fessor.
Every apartment house in Hun
gary is under the surveillance of a
house commander whose job is to
look after the political behavior of
the tenants DR.. De Balla said here
last night.
The commanders power is so
great that they can decide how
much food each tenant is entitled
to, he said in an address to the
2eth annual convention of the Mary
land American Legion.
DR.. De Balla, now professor of
political science at Leyels College,
fled his, native Hungary last sum-
ner. i
DR.. De Balla was introduced by

Of his stack of documentary am
munition some photographs of the
TWA place in Arlington County
and held them up for the committee
to see.
The first dozen questions put by
Mr.. Hughes all related to the So
called community airline bill and
what part Senator Brewster has
taken in sponsoring it in the Senate
Brewster Is Co-Sponsor of Bill
This is a measure now pending in
Congress. Senator Brewster is a
co-sponsor of it. The legislation
would require consolidation of all
overseas air traffic by United States
companies in one firm, giving Pan
American-the first in the overseas
feld-the largest block of stock in
the new firm.
Mr. Hughes feeling about the bill
was summed up in this question:
rs it not true the stockholders of
Pan American would end up in con-
troll of the single line resulting from
the bill, and thereby create mono
poly?'
That is absolutely not true" Sen
ator Brewster replied He went on to
insist the bill provides that the rail-
roads, the surface shipping interests
and the facilities of American air
lines overseas all would be entitled
TO a percentage share in the plan
A lively tilt between Senators
Brewster and Pepper, Democrat of
Florida. ensued. when Mr.. Hughes
asked If Mr.. Pryor maintained a
home at Hobe Sound, Fla.
Pepper Objects to Question.
When Senator Brewster said Mr.
Pryor had a modest winter bungalow
down in Senator Peppers State, the
Florida Senator interiected that's
not where I get my votes"
Il think you got a great many
votes from Pan American AirWays
in Miami Senator Brewster shot
back. adding that he had heard
Senator Pepper express apprecia-
ton for the support he had received
there.
That's correct, but I didn't vote
with them in the Senate" Senator
Pepper retorted. He said he merely
had intended to point out that the
Hobe Sound colony was not a part
Of Florida where the voters would
be for him. although some of the
Pan American Airway workers may
have voted for him. Senator Pepper
said he did not feel he could sup
port the community air line bill
when it came up in Senate COM
mittee.
Have you ever been a guest of
Mr.. Pryor in Florida?" came the
next Hughes question.
Has Occupied Pryor Bungalow.
Senator Brewster replied that in
each November of the last two years
which is before the regular Florida
season-he and Mrs. Brewster have
occupied Mr.. Pryor's Florida bunga-
low for one week at Thanksgiving
time, when the Pryors were not
there.
But hired a cook, bought all
the Notwithstanding the Thanks
giving turkey Senator Brewster
went on, and l left the pantry
stocked up with canned goods in
appreciation"
Answering the earlier questions
about the community airline bill,
Senator Brewster insisted he was
not it's only sponsor. that Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada,
was one of the first to introduce
IL. and that when a Senate COM
mittee considered it in the last
Congress. 10 Senators voted for it.

bied Mr.. Hughes" in an attempt tc
win support for the community
airline bill.
Certainly I discussed the bill
with Mr.. Hughes" Senator Brew
ster said. But there were no in
situations of improperly. I GER
tainly have never lobbied at any
time in behalf of the matter. I told
Mr.. Fulton that I gave the same
answer to Mr.. Hughes as T did tc
every one else who talked about
the bill. 1 had no interest other
than my public responsibility and
my eagerness to improve aviation.
Isn't 1t true that you have been
referred to as spokesman for Pan
American in the Senate?' another
query asked. ~
What 1 have been called by
friends and enemies at various
times in my career would fill a
book" Senator Brewster said with
chuckle. But 1 may as well 60
on the record again in saying l
have no interest of any kind in Pan
American.
Hughes, Ferguson Clash Again.
When the subcommittee recessed
until l 80 it was in the midst of an
other tilt between Senator Fergu-
son and Mr.. Hughes. The chairman
had objected to the witness state
ment that he was being cross
examined, and served notice on him
that Senators would ask him any
questions they deemed pertinent.
Mr.. Hughes replied he had no OBJ
lection to any kind of examination,
but complained that Senator Brew
ster had not been cross-exaE1ined.
Showing some irritation at the de-
lay in getting around to the Hughes
war contracts, Senator Ferguson de-
clared:

proceed. We are anxious to complete

Ohio Strike Ends.
Fifteen thousand Ohio Bell Tele-

strike last midnight, but whether
the Western Electric employees ac-
ton would halt their return to work
was still problematical. One onacial
of the Ohio Federation Of Telephone
Workers said the unions coristitu-

cross picket lines set up by afiili-
ates.
A representative of the striking
western Electric workers said his
union would set up picket lines in

The Ohio settlement was made on
the basis Of an increase Of "a a

to between 95 and 81 cents.

the strike that finally sealed the
bargain. On May 7 Mr.. Bell was

for a 80 to 81 weekly wage raise.
Ninety per cent of the WITH

the workers return to their posts.
The settlement came after Mr..
Bell unrayeled the last snag-what
| to do about three union members
discharged by the company during
the striker
Mr.. Bell proposed that the ques-
ton of proper dismissal be put up
to an arbitrator selected within 10
days from five names submitted by
the conciliator. The arbitrator will
handle the cases separately and de-
termine whether any of the employees
should be reinstated. Company Off
cials said the employees were dis
charged for conduct on the picket
lines.
The new contract will apply to
about 800 traffic employees in the
Alexandria -Arlington-Falls Church
area of Virginia and q like number
of workers at the Silver Spring,
Bradley and wisconsin exchange in
Maryland.
New starting wages for operators
will be $40 q week, graduating to $44
after eight years--the same length
Of progression as in the old contract.
Others Covered In Agreement.
In addition to operators, there are
500 cafeteria workers, $50 clerks and
SIS restroom attendants covered by
the agreement.
Clerks in groups 3 to 6 inclusive
will receive the 81 raises. The new
starting and maximum wages will
be: Group 3-$33 to $40; group f.
$50 to $52; group 5-$34 to $55; group
|6-$34 to $67.
Clerks in groups and 2 will get
So increases. Groupe will start at
$32 and advance to $50. Group 2
starts at $32 and moves up to $44.
Cooks also will receive $3. pushing
their starting scale to $sl, with a
s42 maximum.
Cafeteria workers, general helpers
and rest room attendants will get a
50 boost. Cafeteria workers will start
at $29 and move up to S34. General
helpers scale will be from $26 to $50
and rest room attendants from sac
to $34.
The company considered It's two
most important gains substitution of
voluntary checkoff Of dues for the
maintenance Of dues plan in effect
for one year, and a new form of
grievance machinery. Both Of these
changes were included in the Dis
trict Federation's new contract.
New Grievance Setup.
Under the new grievance plan, the
union must submit Its complaints
first to immediate supervisors In
stead Of directly to a company griev-
ance committee. After a week If
there is no settlement, the COM
plant will be sent to the district
traffic manager in writing, and the
union will get a written reply on |
the decision. AS q final appeal, the
union may write it's complaint to the
general traffc manager.
The employees were granted an
extra day off for vacations during |
which q regular holiday falls. Ser
vice assistants replacing manage
ment supervisors temporarily will
