sion by the Taft-Ball forces, who
wished to keep a whip hand over

If confirmed their terms would
have run for several years and they
could not have been removed except
for good cause. But under the Taft
Ball strategy they can easily be re-
moved when Congress meets again
by simple refusal to confirm.
Opposition was most bitter to-
ward Murdock, who was pro-
labor member of both Senate and
House. There was not much objec-
ton to Denham, who is recorded
as conservative.
Even before the NLRB men,
bers and the new counsel took office

them on the grill. His purpose
was to get commitments that they

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.
By the Assoeioted Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Maj. Gen.
Leslie r. Groves, former director of
the Army's atom bomb project,
today asserted that only about so
out of every 100 volunteers for our
new Regular Army and Air Force
can measure up to the high enlist
ment standards"
In addressing the first reunion of
the 18th Armored, Thunderoolt
Division. Gen. Groves asserted that
Army enlistment standards have
been raised I'm spite of our acute
need for manpower to raise and
maintain a volunteer Army of L.
000, 900 men.
"A truly modern Army requires
higher type of soldier than ever
before our Army must lead in
the caliber of it's men if 1t is to
provide adequate defense in the
atomic age"

belief that I'VE will not have to

Creation of a central procurement
agency to forecast military oil de-
mands was urged by members of
the Industry Committee.
Complaints Reported.
Meanwhile Chairman Wherry, Re-
publican, of Nebraska, said yesterday
the Senate Small Business Commit
tee has received complaints that
independent oil distributors are be-
ing forced out of business in the
Middle West through a squeeze" on
supplies by major oil companies.
In statement issued through the
committee. Senator Wherry said
major refiners have been asked to
submit to the committee at hear
ings in Chicago next Wednesday
and Thursday information about
their capacity, the amount of crude
oil processed monthly in the last
two years, and purchases for the
same period.
He said Hundreds of small re-
finers, independent oil distributors
and retail outlets have complained
to the committee that they are be-
ing forced out of business due to
the squeeze on supplies in effect
by major oil companies"
Squeeze Is Charged.
Senator Wherry contended this
squeeze" is prevalent in a 12-State
area, including Ohio, Indiana, Mich
igan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Information sought from refiners,
Senator Wherry said, includes data
on whether their crude oil pur-
chases are subject to any processing
agreements. The refiners also have
been asked to "set forth the details
of any agreement you have with
crude suppliers, entailing any obli-
cations on your part to return or
sell refine products to such crude
supplier or afnl1ate."
The reflners have been asked
whether they delivered any finished
products to other refiners. whether
they experienced difficulty in OBJ
tanning crude oil and transporting
it, and whether they have access to
pipelines for shipping oil or refined
products.
Senator Wherry announced that
witnesses will include officials of the
Standard Oil Co. of Ohio, the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, the
Gulf Oil Corp. and the Illinois Pc
troleum Marketers' Association.
He said Paul E. Hadlick, Mime
apolis, has been retained as special
counsel for the Oil Subcommittee
Of the small business group.
Dumping of Oil from ships in the
water has been outlawed by inter
national agreement.

defeat its purpose by abusing the
new authority. He said he wanted
to be sure police have bona fids
cases"
Regulation Carries Text.
Under the new law, police are au-
thoriZed to search and seize persons
suspected of carrying deadly weap-
ons upon probable cause" that the
suspect is violating the firearms law
at the time of the arrest.
The new police regulation carried
the text of the amended law and
added this statement:
Commanding officers are hereby
directed to bring this amendment to
the attention of all members of their
commands nd instruct them that
arrests, searches and seizures made
under this amendment should be
made only upon probable cause and
as to what constitutes probable cause
under the law"
Just suspicious bulge in a man s
pocket will not be enough reason
in itself to arrest man, it was in
dicated.
Two Cases Are Cited.
In talking to the commanding
officers today, Inspector Thomas
quoted from two cases to make sure
they know how the court interprets
probable cause" for arrest.
One case defined probable cause
as "a reasonable ground of suspric-
ion supported by circumstances suf-
ficiently strong in themselves to
warrant cautious man in believing
the accused to be guilty"
The other case stated that "if the
facts and circumstances before the
officer are such as to warrant a man
of prudence and caution in believing
that the offense had been committed
it is sufficient"
But with all prudence and eau
ton, Inspector Thomas agreed, po-
lice have the authority they never
had before.
He pointed out that even if a po-
liceman was told man had been
waving a pistol in a restaurant and
when he came to the scene and made
the. arrest, he did find a pistol, the
policeman had no case.
Arrests were made and cases came
to court-only to be thrown out be-
cause the policeman actually saw no
offense being committed and had NO
warrant
Now arrests can be made as in the
case of felony-which means prob
able cause is sufficient and no war
rant is necessary The violation, how
ever, is still a misdemeanor.
Policemen were reminded that If
they find narcotics on a suspect in
the course of searching him for a
concealed weapon, they cannot make
a narcotics charge stick unless they
find a weapon on him.
On the other hand, Inspector
Thomas said, if a suspect is arrested
for some other offense and deadly
weapon is found on him, he will face
two charges. While the law previous
ly provided for charge of carrying
a deadly weapon when another Of
fense was committed, he explained
the weapons charge was rarely made
Now, he said, police have the sup

Wildlife In Alaska
 Being Squandered

WASHINGTON, (P) - Angry complaints of a government biolo- gist in Alaska that Wildlife re- sources of the Territory are being squandered are incorporated into records of an interior department conservation conference.
 The fish and wildlife service bo- ologist, Charles Gillham of Jun eau, a veteran of Territorial SerV- ice, said mountain sheep-partic- ularly the prized Dall variety and other game are disappearing due chiefly to inadequate funds for law enforcement and preda tory animal control.
 Gillham resigned in l943 and moved to Illinois. He returned to the Alaska post this fall. His let ter, read at the conference, said in part:
