Pronkster Tries
In Vain to Fly
Gasoline Truck
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Plane traf-
flc over Chicago's busy Midway
Airport came to a standstill last
night while capering prankster
ruefully learned that he could not
take off in a gasoline truck.
The prankster gave his name
as Charles Martin. %. He told
police he had been drinking. No
charge was placed against him
Immediately.
Control tower officials first saw
an Eastern Airlines gasoline truck
crash into the wingtip of an
American Airlines plane that had
just landed from Washington.
They called the police and fire
department. When they arrived,
Martin revved up the truck and
raced down a main runway. But
he had 5000 gallons of 100-octane
gas aboard and no wings, so he
failed to get of the ground. He
doubled back on another runway
and finally came to a stop with
police and flremen In fast pursuit.
While the chase was on two
airliners circled the airport wait
ing for clearance so they could
land.

today to impeach the testimony
of Mrs. Hiss by showing that she
beloned to the Socialist Party in
the 1930s.
Mrs. Hiss, repeatedly has denied
that this is so.
Telling Points Made.
Driving to tie up the loose ends
of it's case against Mr.. Hiss, the
Government produced a string of
rebuttal witnesses, most of whom
made telling points in their brief
appearances in the Foley Square
courtroom.
The old Woodstock typewriter,
which once belonged to the Kisses
and on which somebody copied
secret State Department docu-
ments for Whitaker Chambers,
an admitted ex-Communist agent,
came to life today. its keys click
ing happily for the jury under
the expert hands Of FBI Agent
John S. McCool.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiss have testi-
fed this machine was practically
unusuable when they got rid of
it, they say, at the end OF 1887.
But prosecution testimony has in
dicated the Woodstock has not
been repaired since it left the
Kisses possession, and it seemed
to work well today. ..
Party Card Presented. O.
The evidence that Mrs. Hiss
was Socialist was presented by
August Claessens, a former So.
cialist who now is executive Sec
retary of the Associated Demo-
cratic Federation.
Over defense objections Mr..
Claessens produced q Socialist
Party file card. indicating that
Mrs. Hiss applied for party mem
bership-and was admitted to the
Morningside (New York City
branch on March %, 1881.
Both the Government and de-
fense hope to wind up testimony
in the marathon trial today.
They agreed to try to accom-
plish this in a private conference
yesterday with Federal Judge
Henry w. Goddard, who has been
presiding over the case for two
months now. The tentative
schedule calls for a day off to-
morrow, which will give the law
yers time to prepare their sum-
nation speeches for Thursday.
If all goes according to plan
the case should be placed in the
hands of the jury Of eight women
and four men sometime Friday.

Company Stores Halt Credit.
In another development, the
United States Steel Corp. struck
hard blow at striking miners by
ordering their credit cut of at
company stores. For years it has
been the custom of company stores
in nearly all coal camps to extend
credit to the workers even when
they were on strike. The COM
panies did that to hold their
work forces together.

Mr.. Cross questioned Mrs. Muir

she first identified Mr.. and Mrs.

tion last November.
Was Shown Pictures.
Mrs. Murray said she was shown
pictures of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiss, add
ing that she told the FBI men
that she remembered having seen
these people before.
She fatty denied that she had
any knowledge of the Hiss case
at the time. She said the FBI
never mentioned the name Hiss
to her until after I came up here
and found out what it was all
about"
Mrs. Murray said she was
brought to this trial on the day 1t
opened, November II. and asked
to stand in the hallway outside
the courtroom and to tell the
agents whether she saw any one
she knew.
Never Read Papers.
IT stood there and looked
around and at first I didn't see
anybody in the crowd-and then,
over by the elevator, I saw Mr..
and Mrs. Hiss. and I knew them
right away" Mrs. Murray said.
The witness said it was impos-
sible that she had been Influenced
in her Identification by newspaper
accounts of the Hiss Chambers
controversy.
II never bother reading the
papers," she said firmly. II got

that they go out. We've got
plenty of cars for picket duty"
He was referring to the miners
practice Of having rowing pickets,
caravans of men selected to check
mines in the area and close them
down.
Predicts Spreading Strike.
Mr.. Ozanich predicted the strike
will spread over the entire coun-
try, adding:
Our men will never go back
until they get a contract"
A spokesman for United States
Steel said they were just follow
ing good business practice when
they cut off the miners store
credit.
Since july" he explained,
"bills have gone beyond what
would be good business practice.
We've helped the miners over the
hump many times, not only dur
ing strikes. But we have reached
a point where we can't go any
further with It,"
There were numerous signs that
the miners are hard-pressed f.
nancially and in need Of help to
buy food and other necessities.
Mr.. Ozanich telegraphed Gov.
Duff of Pennsylvania urging
emergency action by the States
Department of Public Assistance.
. the. county public assistance
Offices In Uniontown and Wayrl9s-
burg won't take bur applications
for over three weeks or more and

told the Governor.
Swamped With Pleas.
Officials of the Department of
Public Assistance said they were
swamped with applications and
just couldn't process them
promptly.
Besides the thousands of idle
miners in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, about $500 were on
strike in Ohio and Alabama, and
Kentucky reported another 5000
of the job.
The country was feeling the
pinch Of fuel shortage more and
more. Retail coal merchants in
Pittsburgh warned that con-
tinued cold weather will use ub
their stocks within 48 hours, and
in the same city. the Duquesne
Light Co. announced it will ra-
ton electric power unless the
miners return to work in a few
days. Another company threat

Mr.. Ford received permission
from Judge Holtzoff to examine
the full contents of the telephone
list finder during the luncheon re-
cess over the strenuous objections
of Mr.. Hitz.
II may withdraw the entire
exhibit rather than have Mr.. Ford
look at it," the prosecutor said at
one point in the argument.
Later he reluctantly consented
to the examination, after making
it clear that he planned to intro
duce only selected portions of the
list into evidence.
The temperance Of Miss
Franklin marked shift in prose-
cution strategy which was agreed
on yesterday as q result of set
backs suffered from hostile" Gov
ernmenC witnesses.
Mr.. Hitz has accepted a defense
stipulation that at least four Of the
Government witnesses waiting to
take the stand would refuse to
answer questions and. therefore,
he will not call them. 1t was
learned.
Seven Government witnesses
were upheld in their refusal to
answer questions at the trial yes
lterday. They said their testimony
might be, self discriminating. Judge
fHoltzoh said they asWere within
their constitutional fights in re-
fusing to answer.
Mr.. Hitz indicated the Govern

Lobby Probe Reveals
Some Irregularities
But No Violations
BY Miriom Ottenberq

A congressional investigation of
housing lobbies has disclosed some
cases of irregularity," but no Spe-
ciflc law violation, Chairman Bu-
chanan of the Special House Com
mittee on Lobbying, reported today.
The special committee, holding
its first session behind closed doors.
heard reports from its investiga-
tors on seven groups operating on
Capitol Hill for or against hous-
ing. legislation.
Mr.. Buchanan said the investi-
gators went into the operation of
the seven groups to acquaint
themselves with a typical example
of how lobby organizations func-
ton. He said the committee had
not made this study with any spe-
clflc purpose of calling the housing
group to a public hearing.
Organizations Listed.
The investigation, which took
the committee staff to field Offices
In Washington. Chicago and
Omaha, covered the following Or
ganizations, Mr.. Buchanan said:
National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards, United States Saw
ings and Loan League, National
Association of Home Builders,
Building Products Institute, Ma
tional Retail Lumber Dealers AS
sociation, CIO Housing Committee
and National Housing Conference,
Inc. The latter two, the chair
man explained, operate ION the
other side of the street" from the
first five.
At the suggestion of Representa-
tive Halleck, Republican, of In
diana Mr.. Buchanan also told
reporters after the session that
the committee intends to check
on pressure activities of Govern
ment agencies on housing. A
House Expenditures Subcommit-
tee has been working on that and
a special committee plans to work
with it.
Mr.. Buchanan said the COM
mittee has uncovered some irreg-
ularities in the housing lobby and
possible failure to register, but has
not been convinced yet of any,
thing unlawful.
I'VE are familiar with a num-
ber who are operating and haven't
registered" he added. but we
cannot say whether they inten-
tionally failed to register"
To Study Twilight Zones"
The committee, Mr.. Buchanan
said, is planning to study four
twilight zones" of the Lobbying
Act to determine who should and
should not register under the act.
Mr.. Buchanan said the commit
tee had progressed far enough to
decide that the act in its present
form is highly indefinite and the
committee wants to clarity it.
The four groups described by
Mr.. Buchanan as operating "in
the twilight zone" as far as the
act is concerned, are:
l. Lawyers paid annual retain
ers who may spend one or two
days a year in Washington testi-
Tying at a hearing or visiting in
oiviouat members of Congress as
part OF their duties to their client.
2. Public relations counsels.
3. Officers of corporations,
companies and associations.
4. The legislative reporter type
Of organizations which say they
are furnishing their clients with
information on the progress of
bills. Mr.. Buchanan listed the
Building Products Institute and
some labor and trade publica-
tions in this category.
The committee, the chairman
said, will meet in about two weeks
to determine when public hear
1ngs will start and what lobbying
activity will be taken up pub
Icly first.
