First Cuiback in Steel
For Autos Due Today;
40% Is Final Goal
Household Appliances
Also Hit by Reductions
Stortine in April
By Froncis P. DouqIos

The Government was preparing
today to announce its first cutback
order in the use of steel which is
expected to reduce the output of
passenger automobiles and house,
hold appliances by 40 per cent by
midsummer.
One source in the automobile
industry said it looks for an order
which will cut the amount of steel
used in the manufacture of pas
senger automobiles by 20 to rs per
cent in April. Thereafter. this
source said, it is expected these
cutbacks will be ordered for the
ensuing months: May. 20 to Is
per cent; June. 30 to IS per cent,
and July. 40 per cent.
Presumably the same percent
ages would apply to steel used in
refrigerators. ranges and other
household appliances.
Expected Late Today.
Manly Fleischmann, National
Production Authority's admins
traitor, was expected to announce
the steel order later today.
Earlier steel orders by NPA have
been for the purpose of assuring
supplies for defense production
and obtaining an equitable distri-
button of steel and steel products
after the military needs have been
satisfied. At the same time,
NPA's curbs on new building are
expected to save substantial
amounts of steel.
Steel production is running at
record levels, but consumption also
is at record levels. A program to
expand production is under way,
but before that brings results, steel
must be diverted from other uses
to carry it out.
It was believed that orders

Of Nations Greatest
Players, Admits Guilt
By the Associated Press

basketball's biggest betting scam
dal spread to another major school

White, who is %, is the country's
second highest scorer.
White and his two accused
teammates, Capt. Adolph Bigos,
Is, of Perth Amboy, N. j.. and Le-
Roy Smith, 81. Newark, N. j., also
colored, were charged with ac-
cepting $4,000 bribe to lose or
try to lose game between LIU
and Kansas State at Madison
Square Garden last December 2.
Eight-point favorites, Long Island
won the game, 60-59, after losing
a large early lead. Thus, LIU
bettors lost their money, but the
gamblers in on the fix, betting on
Kansas State to come within eight
points of winning, were reported
to have made killing.
Plotted on Point Spreads.
In addition, District Attorney
Frank S. Hogan said, the three
athletes plotted to arrange the
point spreads in number of
other LIU games this season.
The latest bribe scandal broke
wide open last Sunday, involving

Court Rejects
Plea Of Seven Nazis 10
Escape Execution
Tumm's Ruling Upheld;
Defense to Take Case
Before Supreme Court

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today rejected the bid ot
seven convicted Nazi war crin-
inals to escape the gallows.
The appellate court unanimously
upheld the ruling of District Court
Judge Edward A. Tamm eight days
ago in which he held the court
had no jurisdiction to review find
Iings of an American military
Tribunal acting in occupied enemy
territory.
Appeals Judges Henry w. Edger-
ton. Bennett Champ Clark and
James Proctor did not elaborate in
their decision, but the court cited
earlier Supreme Court decisions,
mentioned by Judge Tamm, which
had settled the jurisdiction ques-
tion.
Decision Will Be Appealed.
Defense Counsel Warren Magee,
who last week was asked by the
West German government to rep
resent the Nazis, said he intends
to appeal today's decision to the
Supreme Court.
Until the litigation here is set
tied, American military authori-
ties in Germany have indicated
they will delay the scheduled ex-
ecutions of the seven prisoners,
three of whom were involved in
the so-called "Malmedy massacre
of American prisoners during the
Battle of the Bulge.
The Court of Appeals left the
way open for the appeal to the
Supreme Court by directing that
its mandate (order to the lower
court) be issued Friday.
The delay means that Mr..
Magee will have time to appeal to
the highest court.
Last Nazis Under Death Sentence.
The seven Nazis are in prison
at Landsberg, Germany. They
were originally scheduled to be
hanged some time ago, but the
executions were stayed pending

Truman 5 RFC Plan

Ardor Of Probers
Open Hearings to Begin
Tomorrow; Punchboord
Loon Is Discussed
By Robert K. Walsh

President Truman's proposed
reorganization of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. went far to
satisfy Senators today but did not
dampen congressional determina-
ton to inquire into reported in
fuence on RFC loans.
The White House plan for re-
placing the present f1ve-member
RFC board of directors by single
administrator in an independent
agency was victory for Senator
Fulbright, Democrat. of Arkansas
and the Senate Banking subcom-
mittee investigating RFC.
Some Senators described it as
compromise worked out by
peace-makers. President Truman
recently termed as asinine a sub
committee report accusing a
White House aide and others of
exerting influence on some RFC
directors.
Chairman Fulbright described
the Presidents plan as "a very
thoughtful step forward" He said
he had not talked with Mr.. Tru-
man about it.
Scheduled Tomorrow.
Open hearings, scheduled to be-
gin tomorrow. will go ahead de-
spite the White House message,
Senator Fulbright announced.
The reorganization proposal meets
the "basic objective" of the sub
committees recent report and of
a bill he has sponsored, he OBJ
served.
But there was a lot of criticism
of that report" he said. People
are wondering whether the report
has substance. In other words,
the integrity Of the report is in
question and the hearings accord
lngly must go on"
The presidential plan reached
the Senate and House yesterday

committee investigators finished

ming it around completely and
throwing Mrs. Fitzgibbons from
the drivers seat to the sidewalk.
