New Effort 10 Be Made
Today 10 Settle Two
Key Arms Aid Issues

The Senate Committees on For

day to settle the two most con-
troversial questions in the $1,450,-
100000 foreign arms program
how much to allow Western Eu-
rope and whether to include
China.
The House, in passing the bill,
cut the 81, ,160, 800 900 for Western
Europe in half. A majority of
the Senators handling the bill are
believed to be against going that
far, but they may vote some re-
duction.
The amendment rated the best
chance is the Vandenberg-D g-Dulles
proposal to give Western Europe
an even 100000, 900, but make
only half of it cash this year. and

Police Still Seek Link
In Shooting, Knitting
Al tB|adensburg Club

Prince Georges County police
today continued their effort to
connect the shooting of an alleged
gambler and the knitting of an
other man at a Bladensburg night
club.
Police indicated, however, that
so far they had been unable to
link the shooting of Bernard J.
Del Negro, 81. of Tunlaw road
NV. and the stabbing of Samuel
Ochs, operator of a haberdashery
at 3145 M street NV, who lives
at the Hamilton Hotel. The two
incidents occurred about $3.50 am.
Friday at the Crossroads night
club, but the investigating police
man did not make his report until
the following midnight.
Police Chief Ralph Brown said
the two incidents were linked
only "by hearsay.'
Was Arrested in Raid.
Del-Negro, one of three men
arrested last March with William
(Snags) Lewis at 4310 Forty sixth
avenue. Bladensburg, in a series
of surprise gambling raids ordered
by District Attorney George Morris
Fay, was charged at that time with
operating a numbers lottery. He
was wounded in both legs by one
of three bullets fired at him at
the Crossroads and is recovering
in Prince Georges General Hos
pital.
Ochs, police said, named his
assailant who is believed to be an
ex-convict who served a sentence
on a manslaughter charge. He
was treated at Sibley Hospital and
released early Friday morning.
Ochs, however, was quoted by
police as saying he did not want
to prosecute and Del-Negro was
said to have told police he did
not know who shot him.
Suppression Is Charged.
Chief Brown said the eX-Convict
linked in the case is known as
Harding" and that he is believed
to be in another State.
Policeman James H. Burgess,
who first Investigated the Incl
dents, did not make his report
until he returned to duty the fol-
lowing midnight because. he said,
he had not completed his inquiry.
After reports of suppression
reached higher authorities in the
police department. Detective Earl
j. Huber was placed in charge
of the investigation. Mr.. Huber
was not available for comment
this morning.

What circumstances prompted
the police chief to open the in

say the Police Department owns
no overlapping equipment and has
never authorized such procedure.

DeadIine for Report
On Steel Industry Is
Extended 10 Sept. 10
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The
fact finding board in the steel in
dustry dispute announced today
that President Truman had ex-
tended the time for submission OF
it's report to September 10.
The original deadllne was to-
morrow, but the board had to ask
for the extension because Submis-
sion of the evidence took longer
than was at first expected.
Chairman Carroll r. Daugherty
made no announcement about ex-
tension of the 60-day truce dead
line, which is September IA, but
board members said earlier they
did not believe this would be
changed.
They said privately that the
CIO Steelworkers Union and the
companies probably could decide
in a short time whether they
would accept the panels recon-
mendations.
Industry Rebuttal Begins.
Under the original procedure, as
outlined by the President. there
would have been Is days for bar
gaining on the boards report.
Industry spokesmen began their
rebuttal today. They had asked
for two days but a representative
of the companies said they now
hope to finish their presentation
oy tonight. If so. the hearings
would be completed on their 18th
day.
! The union seeks a 30-cent-an-
hour package including a 12I2-
cent wage increase and pension
and insurance benefits.
John A. Stephens, vice-presi-
dent of the United States Steel
Corp, was the first industry re-
buttal witness.
Would Negotiate in 1880.
He told the board that his COM
pany, the giant of the industry
would expect to negotiate with
the union on pensions next spring
before the present contract ex-
pires April 80, 1850.
| But he reiterated his view that
the union has no right to discuss
pensions this year. because that
subject is not included in the
contract reopening clause under
which negotiations are being con-
Quoted.
He discussed in great details
the talks between the parties when
the present agreement was drawn
up last year. Then he stated that
both sides fully understood" that
this agreement gave the union the
right in 1949 "to strike. if need be,

Alcoholic Classification
Necessary to Get Drink

Foreigners living in the city of

under its recent prohibition de-

To get the permit he must de-
clare that he considers alcohol
