Service Merger Bill
Awaits House Action
With Label Of Must
By The Asxoeioted Press 1

A Senate-approved plan to
unity the Army, Navy and air
forces under a civilian secretary
of national security arrived in
the House today bearing the
must" stamp of the Republican
leadership.
Representative Hoffman, Republic
can. of Michigan. of a House Ex-
penditures Subcommittee, called his
group together this morning to dis
cuss the terms of a bill of its own to
accomplish the same purpose.
The subcommittee was not ex-
pected to reach agreement Immedi-
ately. but high-ranking House Re-
publicans said priNtely the version
which will be okay in the end will
follow pretty closely the measure
which passed the Senate by voice
vote late yesterday.
Halleck Demands Action.
Majority Leader Halleck has made
it plain that the unification bill.
which President Truman has urged
repeatedly, must be dealt with before
adjournment late this month.
The Senate gave overwhelming
approval to the plan after less than
two sessions of much milder debate
than greeted the original merger"
proposal in Congress three years
ago.
= Chairman Gurney of the Armed
Services Committee said the bill
would eliminate waste and duplica-
ton which came to light during
World Wars I and II.
Both Democratic and Republican
supporters lined up with speeches
terming the plan necessary to ma
tional defense in world where
terrible weapons pose constant
threat of blitz warfare.
Robertson Amendments Rejected.
Senator Robertson. Republican. OF
Wyoming. a last-ditch foe, spent
parts of two days delivering 75-
page opposition speech. He ac-
cused the Arny's General Staff of
leaning toward the pattern of the
"Prussian general staff" in defeated
Germany. He had prepared II
amendments to tone down the bill
recommended by the Armed Sev-
ices Committee. but sought q vote
on only three. All were shouted
down.
Senator Mccarthy. Republican,
of Wisconsin, World War II Ma
rine officer, offered an amendment
to prevent shifting control OF Ma
rine Corps or naval aviation. The
amendment lost, 50 to 10, on the
only roll-call vote after Senator
Gurney said the bill already assured
continuance of the Marine and
Fleet air arms.
The bill as approved was pretty
much the same as one received
from the White House early this
year after President Truman di-
rected Army and Navy officials to
agree on postwar plan.
The proposed new Secretary Of
National Security would have over
all supervision and control OF a
Navy Department. an Army Depart
ment and a new Air Force De-
partment composed chiefly OF the
Army Air Forces and supporting
units.
Each department would be ad-
ministered by a secretary who would
not have cabinet status.

Blind Mother Asks Return
OF House From Rubinof
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, July 10. - Mrs,
Libbie Rubinotf, IS, who is blind
yesterday asked the Allegheny
County Common Pleas Court to
cancel a deed to her home which
she signed June s, conveying the
property to her son, Dave Rubinofi
OF Encino, Calf, the violinist.
Mrs. Rubinoff charged in her
complaint that she couldn't see what
she was signing, and didn't know 1t
was the deed until she learned the
house had been advertised for sale
and prospective purchasers visited
her home.
She also asked the court for an
injunction to restrain her son from
selling the property or advertising
it for sale.
Mrs. Rubinoff said she signed the
paper after her son assured her
she would own the property as long
as she lived and that he would pay
the maintenance and tax bills for
the place.
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette
quoted the violinist as telling the
paper in a telephone conversation
from his Encino home:
This whole thing is the result OF
rather nasty family quarrel. Can
anybody In Pittsburgh believe that
II would seek to trick my aged
mother whom I have cared for and
supported all my life, out of the
house that I was glad to give her?
MY mother did sign the house
over to me- She knew what she
was doing because it was carefully
explained to her. She agreed
she would be content to spend her
winters in California and summers
in Pittsburgh in small apartment
close to her old friends. So we
decided to sell the house. That's
ali there is to It,"

Businessman 0uizzed
In StrangIe Killing
Of Former Actress
By the Associatsd Press

NEW YORK, July 10--The alibi
OF bald-headed businessman, mar
Iried and the father of two grown
children, was investigated by police
today after they questioned him for
many hours in their inquiry into
the death of former actress whose
nude, strangled body was found yes
terday in her West Fifty-seventh
street apartment.
His name was one Of many FOUND
In the woman's six address books
Police said he admitted being with
her Monday night and had given
them conflicting details.
The victim, known here as Mrs.
Sheila Mannering. 40. was found
dead, bed sheet knotted around
her neck and towel stuffed in her
mouth. by maid who entered her
bedroom yesterday. The body lay
between twin beds, one Of which had
been occupied. Police said the slay-
ing probably occurred Tuesday
afternoon.
Police Commissioner Arthur w.
Wallander. personally directing
more than 50 detectives working on
the case, said that statements had
been obtained" from two garment
center manufacturers who were
among those questioned. He did not
disclose their names or comment on
their statements.
Slayer Not = Stranger.
Because acquaintances said Mrs.
Mannering customarily inspected
visitors through a peep hole before
admitting them to her $87 7.5O-a-
month apartment, police said they
believed the slayer was not
stranger.
A neighbor living on the same
floor said a short, fat, oald man"
visited Mrs. Mannering almost every
night, Commissioner Wallander
said.
The commissioner said informa-
ton on the victims income was
scanty. She was registered as
Bessie K. True with the casting
ofiice Of First National Pictures in
Hollywood from 1924 to l941. She
came to New York shortly after
l941 and in 1916 she worked as a
radio bit actress for the National
Broadcasting Co., Commissioner
Wallander said.
Checkbooks in the apartment
showed only small deposits, but
storage checks for two mink coats
were found. police said. Several
handbags contained a total of $50.
Many pieces of jewelry we're found.
Policy Beneficiary Changed.
Deputy Chief Inspector Edward J.
Mullins said $4,000 insurance
policy, taken out in the woman's
maiden name, Elizabeth Callahan,
first had listed brother, George
Callahan of Los Angeles. as bene-
ficiary,, but was changed about a
year ago in favor of an aunt, Mrs
Ann E. Waldron. Danver
In Denver, Mrs. Waldron said
her niece left that city about IS
years ago for New York, where she
had lived most OF the time since.
Police said they were told the
woman was married in 1924 to
man named Lawrence Plateau and
that they were divorced November
Is, 1913.
Although the woman's face bore
some bruises, possibly made by a
heavy ring, Or. Benjamin Morgan
Vance, chief medical examiner, said
his autopsy showed death was
caused by asphyxia from stangula-
ton by a bed sheet around the neck
-homicidal." II
Commissioner Wallander said a
partly-smoked cigar, in an ash tray
in the bedroom, was regarded as "a
valuable clue"

Granting Of Licenses
To Send Oil 10 Russia
Branded Arrogant
BY the Associofad Prsss

Chairman Weichel of the
House Merchant Marine Com
mittee acknowledged today that
he Is stumped in his efforts to
block oil shipments to Russia.
He blasted as arrogant the ac-
ton Of the Commerce Department
IN granting export licenses that will
permit the departure of three So
viet-bound tankers now being load
ed on the West Coast.
Undersecretary of Commerce Will
liam c. Foster conceded to the COM
mittee yesterday that his Office had
granted the licenses only a few
hours after Mr.. Weichel phoned him
to insist that they be refused.
Mr.. Foster said (a) the shipments
were normal, Co the department in
tends to continue to export petrole-
um products and Co halt might
upset the world market and result
in drop in this countrys own
petroleum imports.
Sees "Chaos" in Stoppage.
He added that such a stoppage
would cause chaos and confusion
in friendly" countries. Mr.. Foster
said, however, that export quotas
will be fixed soon on the basis OF
this country's requirements and sup
plies.
Mr.. Weichel, :rate, told newsmer
There's apparently nothing we car
do about it,"
IT'S obvious" he added, that tn,
Commerce Department can't bt
trusted to take. care of this coun
try's own defense and domestic re.
quirements for OIL"
Mr.. Weichel has introduced q
resolution which would require the
War, Navy and Commerce Depart
ments to certify that future petro-
leum exports-on a shipment by
shipment basis-would not impair
the national defense nor interfere
with full domestic requirements.
But the committee, itself, has not
completed hearings on the measure
and it then would require House and
Senate action.
This seemed unlikely, If not i'm
possible, in the drive to wind up the
congressional session this month.
Critical Situation Doubted.
Meanwhile, Eugene Holman, pres.
ident Of the Standard Oil Co. OF
New Jersey, said he does not con-
slider the current oil supply situation
critical or that it will become 50.
Mr.. Holman told the House Com
merce Committee yesterday that the
industry is now operating at the
highest rate" in all it's history anc
Is engaged In major expansion pro.
grams which should soon relieve
the present pressure"
Il do not believe that the situation
is or will become critical in the sense
of affecting our national welfare. ]
am confident the industry will, as
it always has in the past, meet the
publics need" he said.
Mr.. Holman testified in connection
with the committees investigation
of oil prospects.
The Standard Oil executive saio
spot or temporary shortages" may
occur to cause some inconven-
iences," particularly in the Mid.
west, but there will be no hardship.
Mr.. Holman said only unexpected
road blocks such as an exceptionally
cold winter, a serious breakdown in
industrial output or "serious and
unpredictable" developments in the
national scene can prevent the in
dustry from meeting the nations
need in the period Immediately
ahead.

Senate Group Delays
Action onVote forD.C,

The Senate Judiciary Committee
today postponed until Thursday
morning consideration Of two joint
resolutions on national representa-
ton for the District.
Chairman Wiley said the commit
tee did not get around to considera-
ton of the subject at today's length
ly meeting.
One of the measures was intro
duced by Senator Capper, SRepubli-
can, of Kansas, and the second by
Senator Magnuson, Democrat of
Washington.
Both resolutions would give ma
tional representation to the District,
and the Magnuson measure would
extend the same rights to the terri
tories of Hawaii and Alaska.
The Capper resolution would pro-
vide for an amendment to the Con-
stitution authorizing Congress to
grant residents of the National Capt.
tai a vote for President and Vice
President and for representative. of
their own in both House and Senate.
The number of these representatives
would be fixed by Congress.
The Magnuson resolution calls
for a Constitutional amendment but
restricts representation in Congress
to two Senators from each jurisdic-
ton and to members of the House
on the same basis Of population as
that stipulated for the States.

Last years automobile license
tags for 81 states already have ex-
pired and motorists driving cars

New Hampshire, New jersey, Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ten
nessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia,
West Virginia and South Dakota.
Wisconsin tags expire in different
