Production

With the motor car industry turning
out million cars and trucks, the auto
motive replacement market requiring
parts in large volume, and the other indus
tries we serve producing at expanded
rates, the demand for our products was
heavy through the year. We were limited
by the amounts of materials we could
procure, and despite the best efforts OF
our suppliers, it was impossible for Us to
deliver as large quantities as were desired
by many customers.
An important forward step was taken
in our production of Diesel engine bear
ings. Following a three-year period OF
research, we began in 1850 to produce
large diameter, heavy-duty Diesel bear
ings by means of our "thinwall" process,
which has proved 50 successful in pro
ducing bearings for automobile engines
On complete set of bearings for Diesel
locomotive engine, 256 pounds of metal
are saved and overhauls are greatly simpai-
fed. Many sets of these bearings are now
making remarkable records in service,
and we believe they will soon become
the standard for the Diesel industry.
Our research program has developed
several new products which are being
held in allegiance at present, but which
are ready for the market whenever suffi-
cient materials and production facilities
become available.

favor of legislative changes to
make the records available to
other agencies. There were differ

how this should be done.
The dispute came to head in
June, 1850, when Miss Virginia

assistant, Miss Claire Fagrie, re-
signed. Since then there have been
several other designations from the

Police Officer
Defended by
Wife, Divorce
Ex-Spouse Of Tovern
Keeper Denies Love
Interest at Trial

Police 1t. Charles T. Williams
was stoutly defended today be-
fore the Police Trial Board by
his wife of 81 years and the at
tractive blond ex-wife of the tav-
ern keeper who accused him of
being a love pirate.
The blond, Mrs. Janet Wright,
divorced wife of Carey Wright,
former prize fighter and proprietor
of Dukes Restaurant, 1884 Four
teenth street NV, emphatically
denied her husbands allegation
that she had confessed her love
for 1t. Williams.
It have never been in love with
1t. Williams and I'm not in love
with him now" said Mrs. Wright.
Four Charges Made.
She said her husband is
"punchy and talks in riddles" be-
cause of the blows he absorbed
while he was prize fighting. Mr..
Wright, she testified, told her
'he would make 1t. Williams
loose his job" and "all the bar
flies in his restaurant would testify
against the lieutenant"
Mr.. Wright is the principal
complainant against the police Of
f1cer who is being tried on charges
of intoxication; failure to enfore
liquor laws, making false state
ments and prejudicial conduct.
Mrs. Evelyn Williams told the
trial board Mrs. Wright is her
good friend" and she did not be-
lieve Mr.. Wright's story that her
husband had stolen his wife's love.
On the contrary, Mrs. Williams
testified, Mr.. Wright made "im-
proper advances" to her and sug-
gested that she divorce her hus-
band She said she met Mr..
Wright on three or four occasions
and continued to meet him after
he kissed her and put his arms
around her.
Il guess I was f1attered," she
said.
The love angle diverted atten-
ton from Mr.. Wright's charges
that the lieutenant came into his
tavern last November with a gun
in one hand and bullets in the
other and demanded bottle. Mr..
Wright testified he told the police
officer:
Mattresses Testify.
For two years I've been taking
this and I'm tired of it. I'm going
to put an end to this if I have to

j. Barrett, police superintendent
Several mattresses testified 1t.
Williams was staggering and in an
intoxicated condition when he
came to the restaurant on Novem-
ber 18 and August 81. Pvt. Her
bert Wright, a motorcycle police
man and brother of the tavern
owner, said he heard 1t. Williams
arguing with his brother in the
tavern and the lieutenant said
I'm going to kill that S. o. B."

testified the lieutenant was not
intoxicated on the night in
question.

a Warehouses Offered
u. ). Near District
AT S1,O8O,0OO Rental

A low bid of $1.08 a square foot
annual rental for the construction
of l million square feet of needed
Government warehouse space in
four buildings on a single site
within Is miles of Washington was
offered the General Services Ad-
miniStration yesterday by the
David Nassif Co., with Offices in
the Ring Building.
Only three bids were opened by
William A. Miller. GSA Region 3
director, but in contrast to the
number that swamped the Office
on recent unsatisfactory ware
house proposals. the new bids had
no strings attached.
In calling for fresh bids, Mr..
Miller had said all proposals con-
tingent on Government financing,
speedy tax amortization or other
disqualifying aspects would be
thrown into the wastebasket. Thir-
ty-f1ve bids for construction of
so warehouses had been offered
previously on those unacceptable
terms.
Early Action Expected.
The Nassif Company bid of
$1.080,000 was based on four
separate buildings of 250,O00
square feet each. as called for.
The location was merely given
as Approximately Is miles from,
the Zero Milestone in Washing
ton" Mr.. Miller said the techni-
cality was used to guard against
land price increases.
The Government is so anxious
to get warehouses outside Wash
ington that it is expected the bids
will be passed on in one or two
weeks. The new warehouses would
free scarce Office space in Wash
ington now housing records and
supplies. Also, Mr.. Miller said, the
Government may lease for one
year only in Washington but may
sign a five-year lease outside the
city.
Other Buildings Offered.
The Nassif Company bid, also
called for two additional optional
buildings on the same site, if re-
quired, in accordance with in
struction. Each would contain
250,000 square feet to be leased
at $780, 900 each.
One bidder from San Fran
cisco, whose bid never reached
the Office in time, probably is
"out of luck" it was said. How
ever, it may be considered, if the
Post Office Department reports
undue delay in delivery. The air.
plane by which the bid was sent
was DELAYED in flight.
