BY the Assoeiossd Press

amendments.
Committee members predicted
that the bill would come out OF

morrow and be presented immedi-

The bill was approved yesterday by
the House Of Delegates, rs to "A.
+ Senator Edward L. Breeder, jr., OF
Norfolk urged an amendment which
would permit President Truman to
get on the Virginia ballot without
filing q petition.
The Breedon proposal was among
nearly dozen amendments to the
Governors bill proposed at q public
hearing of the committee. All the
changes were offered by friends OF
the bill" in an effort to smooth out
some Of the new presidential elec-
ton machinery provided in the
measure.
Those at the hearing assumed that
q State Democratic convention
never would indorse the President al
Its candidte, in view of Mr.. Tru-
mans stand on civil rights.

most argument, however, to The
question Of whether Virginia Dem.

For days they had been watching

the former sergeant insisted that
he agreed to make false statements
to protect Meyers against what he
had been led to believe was . poiit-
ical investigation, but he insisted
he did not make any such agree
ment In return for any promise OF
$4,000.
Before Mr.. Mettee took the stand,
counsel for Meyers indicated they
will move for a directed verdict of
acquittal.
They expect to base their request
to Justice Alexander Holtzof large
ly on the contention that the SEN
ate War Investigating Subcommit-
tee, which developed evidence
against Meyers last year, was il
legally set up.
Mettee Tells of Work for Meyers.
When Mettee took the stand he
first testified that as chauffeur for
Meyers during the war he often per-
formed services such as getting gro
ceries, delivering laundry and wash
ing windows at the Meyers apart
ment in the Hotel 2400 here.
Mr.. Mettee was questioned about
a blue Cadillac car which Lamarre
said last October that he gave to
Meyers. Meyers has declared that
the car was purchased here for the
sole use of the Dayton company,
but MIR. Mettee testified that he
drove the car for Mrs. Meyers on
several occasions.
The former sergeant's testimony
about his personal services for Mey-
ers, such as washing windows and
running errands, apparently sur
prised Assistant United States At
torney Edward Molenof.

lenof asked, that you had to do

Injustice" to DR.. Blades.
$50, there Is no evidence to show
that DR.. Blades secured Mrs. Alloc-
cas- admission to Gallinger Hos
pital by unauthorized means, or any
means. Her name was presented
to the admitting Office in a regular
way and not by DR.. Blades. She
was transferred to the tuberculosis
department by the regular person
mel and not upon recommendation
of DR.. Blades. In the light of these
findings, I cannot see that DR.
Blades has been guilty of any OF
the charges that have been leveled
at him.
Although you have not asked me
for the removal of DR.. Blades from
the Gallinger staff, reports in the
local press indicate that in the light
of facts you had in hand to date
you believe that he should be re-
moved. I find no support for any
contention that DR.. Blades shoulc
be removed. DR.. Blades has beer
done a grave injustice by some one
who gave you partial and slantec
facts. I am certain that you, with
the facts before you, will want the
record cleared" -"
Mason Blast Recalled.
Mr.. Mason delivered his blast
Monday against DR.. Blades following
an hour-long conference with DR.
Seckinger. Obviously angered by
what the assistant health officer
had told him about the Allocca case
Mr.. Mason fatty asserted to report
ers that Mrs. Alloccas admission
was illegal" and that DR.. Blades
was to blame for it.
The Hospital Permit Bureau re-
port on the case. which had been
brought to Mr.. Mason by DR.. Seek
niger and which was before the
Commissioner as he received report
ers, seemed, however, to indicate it
was DR.. Effler rather than DR.. Blades
who had made the decision to treat
Mrs. Allocca at Gallinger.
Yesterday, apparently after hav-
ing re-read this report, Mr.. Mason
began to withdraw from his indict-
ment of the George Washington
surgeon. He was unable to recall
having said Monday he would ask
for DR.. Blades removal until four
reporters who were present at the
original interview reminded him OF
what he had said.
