Police Aspirant 10 Take
Is More Stretch Treatments

Peter G.. Barrick said today he
will take Is more treatments from
a chiropractor to see if he can be
stretched out to feet inches in
height so he can be a policeman.
The 21-year-old Veterans Admin
istration clerk failed to reach the
minimum height required Of candi-
dates for appointment to the force
when he took his third examination
yesterday. He measured feet 7la
inches, loss of 4 inch over what
he was earlier in the day.
Mr.. Barrick said the chiropractor
got him out to feet "a. inches yes
terday morning. If they hadn't
made me wait around SO long I
think I would have made it," he de-
clared. Il sagged back some, I
guess"
Mr.. Barrick lives at 1918 Holbrook
street NE. and would welcome any
suggestions about how to get that
extra Il inch of height.

Steel Naturalization
In Britain Expected
To Be Delayed Year
BY the Assoejoted Press

LONDON Oct. 30.-The Labor
government published yesterday its
controversial steel naturalization
bill. Under 1t the government would
become owner in 1850 of LOT COM
panies capitalized at fl95, 000, 900
$3.50 900 ,000).
Conservatives, led by Winston
Churchill, are fighting the measure.
Labor, however, holds roughly a
2-to-1 majority in the House of
Commons. This makes adoption of
the bill almost certainty.
The government indicated the bill
will not be rushed. Political writers
predicted Parliament will debate it
for months, and that final passage
may be delayed until late in 1949.
The bill provides for nationalist
ton to become effective in May,
1850. This Is on the eve of Britain's
next general election, at which the
program Is expected to be q major
issue.
Stock to Be Purchased.
The bill proposes the government
will take outright ownership through
a stock purchase arrangement OF all
firms which produce $4,000 or more
tons of iron ore or 10000 or more
tons of other iron or steel products
per year.
Firms producing less but more
than 5000 tons year will be re-
quired to obtain government Ii
censes to continue business. Smaller
firms may operate without licenses.
The automobile industry is spe-
officially exempt from Specialization
The inclusion of some steel subsid-
larry companies, however, will put
the government into the business of
turning out such finished products
as tennis racketS, printers ink, safe
,ty1 pins and aother goods. ia Il ~
About 500 companies are engaged
in the iron and steel business in
Britain. OF these, 242 are engaged
in the basic process of digging ore,
blast furnace smelling, steel ingot
manufacture and steel hot rolling.
495,O00 Persons Employed.
In terms of capacity, the govern
ment will acquire 97.5 per cent of
ore producers, 976 per cent of
smelters, 1913 per cent of ingot
plants and 1876 per cent of rolling
mills.
The British Press Association said
the British steel industry employs
about 495 900 persons. 1t said about
100000 of these work for firms
which will be nationalized
SOcialized firms will be allowed to
keep their old names and trade
marks. The British Press Associa-
ton said existing arrangements will
remain in charge under q govern
ment holding corporation.

Truman on Michigan Ballot
BY the Associaied Press

DETROIT, Oct. 30-Democrats
fastened today-with the co-opera-
ton Of Republicans-to see to it
that President Humans name is on
Michigans ballot Tuesday.
The Democratic Party in Michi-
gan, it developed suddenly, had
failed to file its certified list of IS
Presidential electors with the Sec
rotary of States Office.
Democratic leaders here said 1t
would be attended to promptly.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Fred M. Alger, jr, who is Re-
publican, promised to keep his office
open for the formal filing.
He obliged, he said, in view Of the
assumption that the courts would
not approve the disfranchisement Of
voters because of a technical over
sight.
The law requires filing Of the list
of electors Is days before Election
Day.
George S. Fitzgerald. Democratic
National committeeman, said the
failure to file was surprise to him

Violence. Subsidinq
AS Strikers Return
To Mines in France
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The Interior
Ministry today said 301 French
police and soldiers have been
wounded to date battling Com
muniSt LED strikers in the struck
coal fields, where violence ap-
peared to be subsiding.
French miners were reported re-
turning to work in increasing num-
bers under police and military pro-
lection as government forces drove
pickets from 20 more strike-bound
pits.
The Interior Ministry report said
three strikers have been killed dur
ing the disorders and many more"
demonstrators hurt.
There were no further reports of
clashes when government forces
went into the Communist strong
hold Of Bruay this morning to take
over two more pits.
10000 on Guard in Fields.
Some 10000 police and soldiers
are operating in less than 900 square
miles OF the northern fields, which
supply two thirds of the nations
coal. Strikers will occupy about
112 pits in the region.
No figures were available as to
how many miners actually are back
on the job, but Communist
union leaders have ordered all their
followers to return to work The
non Communists claim 10000 of
Frances 335 600 miners.
Communist union leaders gave no
verbal sign of weakening as the
nation wide strike went into its 26th
day, but their followers no longer
are resisting police and troops who
ousted pickets from the pits.
This lack of organized resistance
has boosted government hopes that
the costly tieup Is nearing an end.
National Defense Minister Paul
Ramadier said the situation may be
so we'll in hand next week that
troops can be withdrawn from the
coal fields.
30 Coal Ships Tied Up.
On the other hand, the Com
munists tied up about 80 coal ships
in French ports, through a lockers
strike. Mr.. Ramadier said he
thought this tieup would be settled
shortly.
The government announced yes
terday that IAN important number"
Of passenger trains would be sus-
pended as of November because Of
the coal shortage.
Electricity has been severely ra-
toned. Stores will be forbidden to
light advertising signs or show
windows
To date the strike has cost about
4 100000 tons of unmined coal and
the lockers walkout has tied up
some 100000 tons of fuel on ships
in the main ports.

Referring to his reiterated dec

Mr.. Truman explained that the

Credit Extension Sets
New September High
As Bank Loans Soar
BY the Associated Press

Bank loans, already at a record
high, increased more in September
than in the two preceding months
combined.
And installment sale credit, along
with consumer credit generally, hit
new peaks during September despite
the return of Federal controls on
Septmeber 20 after a lapse of II
months.
These developments showed up
today in reports by the Federal
Reserve Board, which has given un-
usual stress this week to warnings
that infiltration is being pumped up
by the spending Of borrowed money.
Loans by the Nations $4,000 banks
increased 81 100000 during Sep
TENDER after moving up only $780,
100000 altogether in July and Au-
gust, the board said.
At least part of the latest jump
could be ascribed to seasonal inf1u-
ences. since borrowing always in
creases in September as merchants
build fall and Christmas season in
ventories. Also, money is needed to
finance crop movements.
Nevertheless, the September bank
loan expansion lifted these debts to
an unprecedented SAT lao, 900 900 at
the start of this month.
The report did not cover business
loans by insurance companies. The
Reserve Board has been emphasizing
the lending role of these firms, which
it is powerless to restrict.
Consumer credit OF all kinds went
up 1929 900 900 in September to a
$14, $50, 600, 900 total.
The $lS4,00O 900 rise in install
ment credit in September boosted
such total indebtedness to a new
high of $7,717,00O, 900. However, the
increase was less than the $780,
0O0, 000-a-month average climb for
the preceding IL months,

Prosecution Hinted
After Detroit Inquiry
On Campaign Gifts
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Oct. 30.-Republicans
claimed evidence today of Federal
law violations in Democratic cam
paign fund solicitations and limited
at possible intervention by the JUS
lice Department.
The claim was based on testi-
mony from % Michigan postal on =
Gals who told a Congressional hear
ing they had been pressed for con-
tributions to the State Democratic
campaign fund.
Democrats branded the investiga-
ton "a Republican smear cam
Ipaign." d.,
A House subcommittee on cam
paign expenditures spent two days
here taking testimony. The hear
ings ended yesterday.
Chairman Fellows said:
I'VE shall turn our evidence over
to Congress at the next session In
my opinion, we have ample evidence
of violations of Federal statutes to
submit. There is also ample evil
dence supporting, the need for fur
Their legislation to cover this"
Mr.. Fellows said it was probable
that Congress would hand over the
information to the Justice Depart
ment for further investigation and
possible prosecution.
Postmaster witnesses testified
they we're asked for campaign con-
tributions by a telephone caller
identifying himself as John R.
Franco. State Democratic chairman.
Mr. Franco has admitted the So
licitations but denied he was violat-
ing the law. He was not called as
a hearing witness.
Mrs. Violet Patterson, party vice
chairman, gave out a press state
ment saying the prediction ad-
journment of the hearing and the
