Meyers who is being tried on
charges Of subornation of perjury,
also Is indicted on perjury charges
for which he will be tried later.
Lamarre has pleaded guilty to
charges of perjury as a result Of
telling the subcommittee last fall
that Meyers had no financial inter-
est in the Dayton company.
Attorneys defending Meyers yes
terday created an apparent legal
paradox by endeavoring to show
Lamarre pleaded guilty to state
ments that were not wrong or to
things he really did not say.
Bushnell Attacks Lamarre Story.
Mr.. Bushnell noted that the in
dictment charges Meyers persuaded
Lamarre to tell the subcommittee
that Meyers was not the real owner
of the Dayton company, that La
MARIE gave him $4,000 as gift"
to redecorate the apartment, and
that an automobile purchased by
Meyers with $1,000 in company
funds was for the company and not
for Meyers.
Mr.. Bushnell fred numerous
questions in an effort to bring out
that Lamarre did not specifically
tell the subcommittee that Meyers
had no financial interest in the
company. The attorney declared
Lamarre, at that time, did not use
the word gift" concerning the $10,-
900 payment. Mr.. Bushnell con-
tended Lamarre gave the correct
account when he said Meyers
bought the automobile and turned
it over to the company.
The defense counsel asked La
MARIE if it were not true that sub
committee questioners last October
put words into his mouth and
practically forced him to say things
against Meyers.
Lamarre refused to bulge from
the story he has told on the stand
since last Thursday. He insisted
that the statements he made to
the subcommittee last october were
false. He said he told the true
version about Meyers at later sub
committee hearings and at this
trial.

The Washington areas 81 ,080, ,00C
Red Cross drive was in its third day
today, with $66,237, or 6.13 per cent
of its goal, already collected.
Four of the drives 10 major
divisions reported this total at a
luncheon Of volunteer workers yes
terday in the United States Cham
Der of Commerce building.
These were the Government unit
with $31, ,755 of its $494, COO quota, OF
6.43 per cent; the General Business
unit, with $23, ,466 of $315,l00, or 7.45
per cent; the Residential unit, with
So, 400 Of $4,000, or 7.73 per cent
and the City group, with s4,524 OF
$4,000, or 8.38 per cent.
Suburban divisions, with a total
quota of $115,950, are expected to
make their first report at another
luncheon Friday. Booths, which have
an added quota of $J6,9 $50, will not
be in operation until later in the
drive.
The drive so far Is keeping pace
with tnat OF last year, Campaign
Director Randolph G. Bishop said
after the luncheon. While 8.84 per
cent had been achieved by the first
report luncheon last year, Mr.
Randolph pointed out the luncheon
was two days later and the cam
paign goal for 1947 was only $787 $50
John Clifford Folger. District

this trial and try to make the pub
lie believe he defrauded the govern
ment."
Mrs. Davis, who lives at $500 @
street NV, said Meyers retained
here in 1941 to redecorate and re-
furnish his apartment for about
$2,500 because great many i'm
portant people would see it and he
wanted it to be representative" 4"
She testified that the job went up
to $4,000 because Meyers wanted
new furniture and other equipment.
"He said he would give me check
on a little company he said he was
interested in or owned. I don't re-
member exactly which. But he said
it was known as the Aviation Elec-
trio Co., Mrs. Davis said.
All Checks Drawn on Firm.
Mrs. Davis said she received checks
totaling $4,000 personally from
Meyers at the hotel and that in
each instance they were made out
on the Dayton company. The later
redecoration job at Wright Field in
Dayton amounted to $500, of which
$500 was paid with an Aviation
Electric Co. check, she said. The
remainder was paid by Mrs. Meyers,
she added.
Before Mrs. Davis took the stand,
Mr.. Bushnell drew an admission
from Lamarre that books of the
aviation company show that only
S58, 900 of company funds went to
Meyers and that this was in repay
ment of loans.
Lamarre asserted that he and his
brother-in-1aW, Thomas E. Read
mower who was secretary treasurer
of the company turned over approx
mately $150,000 from their salaries
between 1910 and 1916 to Meyers in
addition to the $4,000 in repayment
of loans.
But, Lamarre conceded that, so far
as the company books are con-
cerned, there Is no written proof

Cabe's order, another B-25-which
cost $243,0 900 new-and which had
not been declared surplus, was de-
stroyed by Mr.. McCabe's agents."
Noting this incident and other
,eXidences- what--h called mis-
management of war surplus sales,
Senator Tobey said "all of these
charges deserve the grave consid-
Grafton of this committee before
action is taken upon thesnomina-
ton of Mr.. McCabe.'
Mr.. McCabe, Republican, is
president of the Scott Paper Co. ct
Chester, Pa. Since 1889 he has been
chairman of the Philadelphia Fed
eral Reserve Bank. He was nomi-
mated to fill the unexpired board
term of the late Ronald Ransom Of
Atlanta.
During the war Mr.. McCabe
served in various advisory capaci-
ties in Washington before assuming
the war surplus sales post. For this
he was awarded the Medal OF Merit.
Senator Tobey noted that the old
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee, when it was headed by former
Senator Mead, Democrat, OF New
York, criticized the small return
this country received on approx
mately $4,000, ,000, 900 In surplus war
goods left overseas. -.
He quoted this committee as say
ing:
With all the bargaining power
which the committee was ours at
the cessation of hostilities the COM
mittee is disappointed that we stand
to realize so little on the value
of our surplus property abroad"
Senator Tobey continued:
What is the request that is made
of us at this time? Are we asked,
simply, to confirm the nomination
of a man to be a member of the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, or are We asked
to reverse the finding of the special
Senate committee investigating the
national defense program?
These men studied Mr.. McCabes
public record and apparently found
him wanting in many respects as a
public servant"

New Grease Process
To Open in Baltimore
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-A newly
developed continuous process of
making lime soap greases will 60 into
large scale operation for the first
time early this fall at the Baltimore
refinery OF the Esso Standard Oil
Co., it was announced today.
Lime soap grease is used extern
sively as a lubricant because it is
easy to apply and is relatively un-
affected by water.
The Esso Co., principal manufac-
turing and marketing affiiliate of
Standard Oil Co. (of New Jersey
says the continuous process will rev.
olutioniZe manufacture of this type
Of grease
The key unit in the new plant
built to employ the process Is a
rapid soap cooker which in As min
utes does the Job which took the old
conventional pressure kettle three
and one-half hours to perform. the
company said.
Packaging Of the finished product
could not begin under the old
greasemaking system until an entire
batch of ingredients had been
finished. A newly developed mixer
unit, the company said, makes it
possible to carry on packaging SIM
ultaneously with production.
Another advantage claimed for the
continuous process is that 1t blends
soap and oil so well that less soap
in proportion to oil--yields an
identical grace of grease. This, the
company says. means the use of
about 10 per cent less fat-an i'm
portant saving these days when
fats are scarce.

Large Companies Glad
To See Restoration Of.
Curbs on Credit Sales
By J. B. WalIoeh

North Ansrieen Newspaper Alllones
NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-Issuarce OF
the Federal Reserve Boards new
consumer credit regulation was anti
climatic In as much as its provisions
were generally anticipated. Trade
sentiment Is mixed, but many larger
department and speciality store COM
panies believe reinstatement Of in
stallment-buying curbs Is desirable
at this time.
1t is the consensus of the latter
that high prices rather than tight
credit constitute the chief threat to
volume selling. They do not deny
that easy terms have greatly facili-
tated the sale Of certain articles, but
they long have questioned the sound
ness OF business induced by nothing
down and three years to pay" offers.
Increasing Competition Awaited.
Despite the possibility that price
spiraling in consumers durables has
not yet been checked. merchants are
looking ahead to the day when In
cressing competition or waning de-
rnand or both Will reverse the course
of the spiral. Reference to expert
ences in other price-declinins peri
ods causes them to look favorahly
on shorter credit maturities.
For some time. department and
home furnishings stores, as well as
appliance. radio and houseware
dealers, have been concerned with
the pyramiding of installment &C.
counts. Cash and 30-day account
business steadily lost ground. Many
merchants were not convinced OF
the desirability of tying up working
capital in growing proportion.
Retailers in many instances feel
they have assumed imprudent risks
at times to maintain volume more
profitable to manufacturers than
themselves. Their own shrinking
margins have received scant notice
and little, if any, relief from sup
pliers OF durables in strong demand
on easy credit terms.
Varying estimates have been made
OF the extent to which business In
goods specified by the credit regula-
tion viii be lowered. but larger
stores are far from alarmed by these
Prescriptions. They lean to the
opinion that installment sales will
be prevented from further rapid
growth, but feel that current volume
will not diminish.
Responsible credit merchants as a
whole especially welcome the termi-
nation of competition in credit
terms which, they say, have made
for an unhealthy business climate.
They comment that the new regu-
lation should not curtail consumer
expenditures beyond the reasonable
limits Of anticipated income.
