Junk Dealer Testifies
He Paid $4,000 for
Influence for Deal
By Jock Jonas

A New York salvage dealer told
Senate investigators today he paid
a fellow junk dealer $4,000 be-
cause he thought the latter could
influence a War Surplus sale for
him in 1948.
Sidney Land of the L. j. Land
Co., testified before the Senate
Special Investigations Subcommit-
tee that he paid that amount to
Joseph Labowitz. It represented
Mr.. Labowitz's share in proceeds
from the sale of electrical equip
ment in the former Alcoa Alu-
minum plant owned by the War
Assets Administration at Torrance,
Calf.
But Mr.. Labowitz and Mr.. Land
disagreed on the part played by
Frank Nathan, Pittsburgh and
Miami Beach promoter, who got
$57, 900 from Mr.. LaboWitz for
merely saying the equipment was
available. Mr.. Land said Mr..
Nathan was present when he
closed the deal with WAA in the
office of Administrator Jess Lar
son on July IS. 1913. Later Mr..
LaboWitz added only he and Mr..
Land were in the Office along with
MIR. Larson and his aides.
Admits Seeking Influence.
Under questioning by Commit
tee COUNSEL Francis D. Flanagan,
Mr.. Land reluctantly admitted
that he agreed to take Mr.. Labo-
WITT in on the deal because he
thought he could get some in
fuence in Washington.
Mr.. LaboWitz denied that he
believed Mr.. Nathan had any in
fiuence. He told the Senators
he paid the fee merely for the in
formation given. He said the in
formation enabled him to get into
q deal with Mr.. Land.
Mr.. Land disputed his at
torney'S testimony yesterday that
he thought Mr.. Nathan had "po-
tent connections" in Washington.
He said he didn't know of Mr..
Nathan until later when he met
him at the Statler Hotel just be-
fore his conference with Mr.. Lar
son.
LarsOn'S Aide QuizZed.
The committee today first called
Almon E. Snyder. assistant to Mr..
Larson. They quizzed him about
his association with Mr.. Nathan.
He testified that on one occasion
he stayed at Mr.. Nathan's Miami
Beach home for two nights. But,
he added, under questioning, he
never had any financial dealings
with Mr.. Nathan and had never
received any gifts from him.
After hearing the three wit
nesses, the committee recessed

Steps Taken 10 Curb
Steel Black Market
In Event Of Strike
By Froncis. P. Douqlos

Government officials predicted
today that a steel strike would
have an almost immediate effect
on defense production.
They added that the results of
Ia four-week strike would be
alarming"
They also prepared to take steps
Immediately to curb a black mar
ket in steel. This is expected to
spring up as the result of hating
the flow Of steel to makers of
automobiles and other civilian
durable goods, frozen by an order
issued yesterday.
Committee on Control.
Another step in anticipation of
"a steel strike was the setting up
of committee which will, in eff
feet. control the disposition of the
steel expected to be produced de-
spite strike at the big COM
panieS.
Some companies have signed
contracts with their workers OF
do not employ members of the
CLIO United Steel Workers. The
two major ones are the Kaiser
Steel Corp. at Fontana, Calf, and
the Weirton Steel Corp. of Weir
ton, w. Va. Production by those
concerns is expected to be or 6
per cent of normal total output.
Robert H. VIM, assistant gen.
Ieral counsel Of the National Pro-
Iduction Authority, announced the
preparations to cope with any
black market. His statement fol-
lowed issuance of the NPA order
freezing steel supplies that other
wise would 60 to manufacturers
OF consumer durable goods and for
export. He pointed out that heavy
demand and drastically reduced
supply is a condition fostering a
black market.
Applies to All Products.
This freeze applies to all steel
products on hand in any ware
house or mill. Manly Fleischmann,
Defense Production Administrator
discussing the order, said:
"A general work stoppage In
the steel industry would have an
drastic effect upon
many projects important to ma
tional defense. particularly am
the atomic emery pro-
grams, jet engine production and
the completion of new defense
facilities"
Manufacturers of automobiles
and household appliances studied
the expected effect of the order on
their production. 1t was pointed
out that they are permitted to
carry inventories of supplies for
As days production. There was
however, whether these
inventories are well balanced. If
they are ragged" it was pointed
out, production may be halted in
much less than IS days by short
ages of certain items necessary to
production.
Inventories in Good Shape.
Total steel inventories general
ly are held to be in good shape.
