Assertions similar to these
have been made by President
Philip Murray of the United

The complaint also charged
that the companies have "acted

Before the White House con-
ference started the Presidents
advisers were known to favor
controls of some kind. There
was no conclusive statement
afterward that, their ideas had
altered materially.
1t was said that if the presi-
dent asks power to impose con-
trolls on the ''if necessary" basis
he will request limited authority
to control scarce items of food
fuel and clothing so that Con-
gress will not think he is de-
manding a ''blank check"
No New Agency
His plan is said to envisage NO
new agency, such as the defunct
office of Price Administration
His advisers were represented as
feeling that the job--if Congress
authorizes it-can be done by
existing agencies.
For example, the Agriculture
Department would handle food
matters while the Interior De-
partment handle fuel. This would
avoid any resemblance to OPA.

ll6.3 Miles AnHOur At Indianapolis
Q hEVe cOUeC

INDIANAPOLIS, (P) - Mauri Rose of Chicago, a. confident lit tie guy with a black moustache and a big pipe, was down in the books Saturday as a second-time winner in the 31st annual 500- mile race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the first two places should have been labeled Lou Moore entry"
 Rose and Bill Holland of Bridge port, Conn, the No. finisher, drove identical new four-cylinder cars owned by Lou Moore of Ven tura, Calif., and called the Blue Crown Spark Plug Specials.
 The race, second fastest since the holiday event was inaugurated in 1911, cost the life of William Shorty Cantlon, veteran Indian apolis driver who finished second to Billy Arnold in 1880. Cantlon, 43-year-old bachelor and used car dealer, smacked the wall coming out of the southwest turn, trying to avoid a mixup that occurred when Holland skidded into the grass along the inside, of the track.
 The amazing Ted Horn of Pat terson, N. J., driving the Maser- ati, in which Wilbur Shaw twice won the race, claimed third money. He has never taken the trophy but his methodical driving has placed him among the top four finishers in eight straight "50O's."
 Roses winning speed was 116.3 miles an hour, second only to the late Floyd Roberts 117.2 in 1888. The seven leaders all averaged more than 100 miles an hour. other measures on a crowded House calendar.

Many Killed In
 Arkansas Tornado

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (P)-With B bodies in mortuaries, Jefferson county officials today sought an additional IS persons believed missing after a tornado ripped a 2O-mile path south here, injuring hundreds and leaving hundreds more homeless.
 Coroner E. D. DuPree, who an nounced early today 37 bodies had been recovered, said he be- lieved that was correct after a check of the various establish ments. A check of the four mor- tuaries here showed IS white per sons and IS negroes.
 The majority of the victims were children, including members of a Negro 'teen-age group attend ing meeting in a house where II persons were killed. It least 10 white children died.
 One crew blasted a hole in a dike on a damned break along Bartholomew Bayou into which several houses were believed to have been blown, then waded waist-deep in the muddy water hunting for bodies.
 The twister bounded along the 2O-mile course-10 miles wide in places-from a point approxi- mately 10 miles southwest of here to spot in the Arkansas river bottoms about 10 miles southeast of Pine Bluff. Its fringe struck the extreme southern outskirts of this community of 10000 at the northernmost tip of its course, damaging the Pine Bluff country club house. It pounded over Gri- der field, wartime army aviation primary training center, leaving the airport untouched.
 Pine Bluff is 43 miles southeast of Little Rock.

5 Killed In Plane \ Accidents

FOR1 DEPOSlI, Md. (HO - A four-engine E tern AirlineS transport plunged suddenly from ] 000 feet into a wooded ravine ""9r here Friday night, killing all 53 aboard in the nations worst commercial airline disaster.
 Eye-witnesses differed on what happened just before the big DC-4 plummeted to the ground at 45- degree angle.
 Several said they heard an ex- plosion and saw the tip-end of the tail section tear away.
 The transport was flying along smoothly at about 1000 feet when the engines suddenly roared thun- derously and the big aircraft turn ed over on it's back and started falling.
 The graphic eyewitness account of seaman 1/c Frank Welch of Tonawanda, N. Y., was typical of the statement by most of those who watched the plane fall into the woods.
 Welch said the DC-4 was flying at 1,5OO to 2,0O0 feet when it start ed to turn over to the right.
 ''The plane tipped a little" he said, land then started to nose down. The whole tail assembly disintegrated and I counted nine separate pieces falling to the ground"
 It tore into the wooded hillside, snapping off six and eight-inch trees and burst into flame with mighty explosion.
 Largest single bit of wreckage was not more than 12 feet long, apparently a section just forward of the tail. Debris and dismem- bered bodies were strewn over an area 20 yards wide and 75 yards long.
 By dawn, rescue workers had collected 52 distinguishable bodies but most of them were mutilated beyond recognition.
 They were taken over trails hacked through the woods to near by Bainbridge naval training sta ton, where investigators Satur- day morning started the grim job of trying to establish identificat- tions.
 Civil aeronautics inspectors meanwhile poked through the strewn wreckage seeking evidence which might establish the cause of the crash.
 The disaster climaxed a 49-hour series of costly air crashes around the world.
 Only the night before, United Airlines plane of the same type crashed on takeoff from LaGuar- dia Field in New York and 40 lost their lives

That means that 500 of us. fam

Packers Give Public
A Bum Steer On
Meat Prices

Chicago-FP-The big meat packers
are giving the public a bum steer when
they pretend that farmers are to blame
for current high meat prices, Presi-
dent Ralph Helstein of the United
clearinghouse Workers (CIO) charged
here.
Citing figures compiled by the ag-
%riculture department, Helstein pointed
out that while farmers during the first
two weeks of June got 50 per cent
more for their steers, the big packers
we're charging retail dealers 95 per
cent more than before. This 43 per
cent margin compares with a 2S per
cent spread between farm and whole
sale prices on June l, 1916, when price
controls were still in effect.
The wholesale market. Helstein ex-
planned, is dominated by the big pack

panies promised last fall that plenty
of meat would be available at reason.
