Parity is a sliding scale, computed

The woman's condition was
listed as critical before the expert

said the auxiliary kidney func-

New Orleans Sheriff
On Perjury Charge
BY the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. III
Criminal Sheriff John j. Grosch

Of perjury.
The indictment climaxed a
grand jury investigation after a
hearing here by the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee before
which Sheriff Grosch and his for
mer wife, Mrs. Viola Grosch, gave
conflicting testimony.
The indictment, however, did
not relate to this conflicting testi-
mony before the Senate commit
tee but from Sheriff Grosch's tes-
timony before the grand jury in
its present investigation.
The indictment charges the
sheriff Ibid Intentionally and

Each Count Separate Penalty.
Under Louisiana law perjury
committed before a grand jury is
punishable by a maximum penalty
of fine of $1,000 or five years
Imprisonment, or both, with each
count constituting a separate
offense.
Although the grand jury said
the statements for which Sheriff
Grosch was indicted were made
during its investigation in rela-
ton to the commission of the
offenSe Of public bribery by him, ~
It did not return any indictments
dealing with public bribery.
At the time the grand jury
began its investigation, Sheriff
Grosch told newsmen, IT am in
nocent and the only way it can be
proven is by letting the grand
jury investigate the whole matter"
One count in the indictment

now provides that units be called
up for 81 months, but new draft
bills would raise service to 2t
months.
One high official, however, de-
clared that the policies of moi
calling more units and releasing
men at the end of their q (ol
26) months would not preclude
overseas assignment of part OF
all of the divisions. 1t had beer
reported earlier that two of the
divisions might be sent overseas
Four National Guard divisions
and two regimental combat teams
were federalized last September
and two more divisions were called
up last month.
Gen. Taylor said that at the
start of 1851, 1887 units with a
strength of about $4,000 men were
in uniform. This included GuarC
units of all size, but did not in
clude the approximately 1890
men in the two recently called di-
visions. In addition, the general
told newsmen, $4,000 members Of
Organized Reserve units and about
80 900 individual reservists were
in service.
Action on Guard Studied.
Gen. Taylor said the question is
still under study of what to dc
with the six Guard divisions wher
the statutory service limits of it,
members run out. He said il
probably would be best to return
the names of the divisions to the
States. In that case. the Army
would hold the framework of theil
trained strength. and give Regu-
lar Army designations to the non
Guard officers and men training
with the divisions.
The officials said the first of the
four Guard divisions called up
would be sufficiently trained fol-
any service by June, and that the
second division called will be ready
by next September.
When the Guard divisions en-
tered active service. they were al
about SIS per cent of combat
strength. The vacancies have
been filled largely by unframed
draftees.

poses.
Violation of any regulation I'M
der the act might mean a fine of

Neon Signs Under Control.
According to experts of the
Federal Communication Commits
sion, items would come under
control such as campus broad
casting stations, neon signs, mer-
curry vapor lamps, some types Of
food cookers and burglar alarms,
as well as many devices used for
medical and industrial purposes.
1t was pointed out that any cleo
trio motor or even an electric
light bulb in defective condition
could send out electromagnetic
radiations.
In his Stestimony Gen. Aiken
brandt admitted, IF the broad
est Interpretation of this bill were
exercised, the entire life of the
sections of the country in which
such controls were imposed,
might be paralyzed"
He added, however, that the
Defense Department, in admins
tering the law, would limit itself
to controlling only those devices
which would be a positive aid to
the enemy.
The bill must be broad. he de-
clared, ito take into account cur
rent and future developments in
the electronics guidance field"
At today's hearings there was
no clear statement as to whether
radio stations would be silenced in
case of a threatened air raid.
Gen. Ankenbrandt made it clear.
however. that no shutdown would
take place until two or three
hours before an expected attack.
Caldwell Letter Read.
Committee Chairman johnson
of Colorado read into the record
"a letter from Civil Defense Direc-
tor Willard Caldwell, jr., indorsing
the bill but expressing some con-
Germ that civil defense functions
might be hindered" under a broad
Interpretation of the proposed
law. The agency plans to rely on
radio extensively as communica-
tons system.
A second witness at today'S
hearing, George Sterling, repre-
senting the Federal Communica-
lions Commission, agreed that
authority is necessary to broaden
control over possible homing de-
vices either by amending the
present law or through new legis-
lation.
Opposition to the measure was
voiced by w. R. G. Baker. vice
president of the General Electric
Corp, representing the Radio and
Television Manufacturers Associ-
alton. MI. Baker objected that
"the powers which would be
granted if (the bilD were en-
acted are much broader than are
necessary to protect the public
and national interest"
Sees Industry Hampered.
Many of the types of radia-
ton covered by the bill cannot be
used as navigational aids" he
said. They are the result of
normal operation of industry and
commerce and to restrict them
arbitrarily would hamper the in
dustrial effort of the Nation and
Iendanger life and public safety"
Mr.. Baker recommended in
stead program of tanning, of
propagating false signals and

more confusing to an enemy than
