1m. Sales Cut Heavily In Big Macy Store By Delivery Strike New York, July ll-(AP)-Pick-etlng stemming from a jurisdictional dispute over delivery service today disrupted sales and deliv. eries of the huge 88-year-old R. H. Macy department store which lsst year did a 132,000,000 business and there was a possibility many other New York department stores might be affected.

A Macy executive said the store operated during the day with only about 10 to 20 per cent of its sales force crossing the picket line. He added that the number of custom- era who normally visit the sprawl nv aiARi.rn m. dean. Wuhlnflon Bureau, ISS7 I'rtil Mid. rc.

m. MNrT a in Tas Washington, July 11 -Senate debate on the Tsft Amendment, to the pending bill extending the life of the Office of Price Administration was opened today by the two Senators from Ohio. Sen. Robert A. Tsft began by describing his amendment, a modified version of the Profit Formula Amendment which the President so bitterly criticized In bis radio addreas thut followed hij veto.

Talt declared that the price Increases that would result from his amendment would be insignificant when compared with price Increases which, it Is admitted, will result from decontrol amendments already adopted by the Senate. Object of the amendment, the Ohloan said, was to prevent OI'A from forcing Industry to manufacture articles at a loss. He said that many big corporations could do this, charging that It affected the "little fellows." "My amendment merely forces (he OPA to recognlim Increased cost of production," Senator Taft said. "When steelworkers obtained Increased siilurles OI'A Increased the price of steel," Taft reminded. "This produced mure than the pay rolls were Increased.

When oil workers wages were, rulsed, the price of oil was Increased 10 cents a barrel, which more than compensated for the Increased pay rolls. But they won't do this for the little fellows. When representatives of the big corporations come to Washington the OI'A officials see them at once, the little fellow waits around for a month." NK.V. JAMES W. HUFFMAN followed Taft.

He opposed the amendment. He told the Senate that the action it was taking on price control would have a far-reaching effect on our economy. He deplored the removal of price controls by the Senate. The only reason ha had for aupportlng the hill, he said, was to send It to conference in the hope that a reasonable stabilization law would be worked out. He concluded that, armed with this measure the task of the conferees appears to be well nigh hopeless.

ONK OI'A AMENDMENT today found Taft and Huffman on the same side. This was the amendment providing that where states have established rent control the OPA cannot Interfere. Both Ohio Senators voted aye. It was the only time they hsve been together on Ing Herald Square store had been cut 50 per cent, interrupting sale for the first time in the store's. Howard t.

Washington, July ll-(INS)-Tha Joint Chiefs of Staff told President Truman today that the A-bomb teat at Bikini allowed how America'! battle fleets must be redesigned to meet the challenge of flash-kill atomic war. A preliminary report on "Operations Crossroads," relrssed by the White Hoiue, asserted that the bomb dropped on the "guinea pig" fleet July 1 damaged more ahlpa than ever before have been raked by a single blast. The report, compiled from data collected by Mr, Truman's person-ally appointed Military-Civilian Evaluation Una iff.

The report declared: "The teat haa provided adequate data of a sort neceaaaiy for the redealgn of naval to minimise damage to superstructures and deck personnel from this type of bomb." CIVILIANS A 1-80 KKI'OKT. At the same time, a special Civilian Evaluation Commission, named by Mr. Truman and headed by Sen. Carl A.

Hatch, Democrat, New Mexico, infoimed the Executive In a separate report that the teat had "Justified" Ha expenditure. The Hatch commission declared JUDITH ANDERSON WED. New York, July 11 (AP) Judith Anderson, 45-year-old and Luther Greene, 34-year-old theatri cal producer, were married in City That such a man, with such a record as Garsson's, could get such a job, with its implications of great trust and honor, hardly vindicates Mr. May's gullibility. Mr.

Sabath, however, was equally naive, If so mild a word is appropriate. Herbert Hoover said he was surprised to read in the accounts of the Washington Investigation of war profiteering by Garsson's companies, under 'May's patronage, that Garsson had held a job as special assistant to the Secretary of Labor, William Doak, in his administration. In this job, Garsson was placed In a position to control tha cases of many immigrants, including prominent and high-salaried foreign actors in Hollywood and wealthy sojourners In the East. A racket had developed in Immigration which then was administered by the Department of Labor and Mr. Doak, on September 12, 1931, went on the air over tha Columbia System, to say: "I have appointed aa a special assistant the Honorable Murray W.

Garsson of New York to supervise and assist the agent we had investigating: this racketeering." ABOUT TWO MONTHS later, the Honorable Murray W. Garsson took the stand as a character witness for a relative of Mr. Doak who had been indicted on a charge of fraud in the practice of this racket. Apparently, the FBI had given the Prosecuting Attorney, William Hcrlands, no report on the Honorsble Murray W. Garsson's own character, so he was not even challenged as a sponsor of the defendant and the jury disagreed.

In the Labor Department job, Garsson had charge of a group of Investigators who were supposed to round up aliens who had Jumped ship or otherwise entered the United States illegally, persons who had made false statements In their naturalization papers and visitors who had overstayed their permits. Graft, had developed and Garsson was selected aa a man above temptation to deal with individuals who were willing to pay a great price to stsy here. In Hollywood, where he spent much time, there were alien actors who could afford to pay heavily for the privilege of remaining and moving picture companies with enormous Interests at stake on the recommendations of the special assistant. Mr. Hoover said Garsson held a minor position and that he had never heard of him until a few days ago when the Mead Committee's revelations were published.

IX AUGUST, 1926, the Rothmere owned by Arnold Rothsteln, the most notorious New York criminal of the prohibition era, sued Murray Garsson and others to foreclose a mortgage on a mid-town office building. Garsson and his associates had borrowed $40,000 and Rothsteln recovered. Rothsteln was murdered on November 6, 1928. The FBI report suggests that in 1932, when he was Doak's assistant, Garsson was concerned In an effort to stop deportation proceedings against Owney Madden, a paroled murderer, and that he also was associated with Dutch Schultz, the departed gangster. If the FBI could turn up so much by sending a rlerk to a file and a reporter In one day rould produce the additional data on Garsson here presented, the Army would seem to have been no less remiss than Mr.

May, Mr. Sabath and Mr. Doak, In its own failure to establish the character of the Honorable Murray W. Garsson. Murray Garsson, Promoter.

NEW YORK: The career of Murray Garsson, the promoter who seems to have imposed upon the sturdy but highly credulous honesty of Andrew Jackson May of Kentucky presents a delightful study, as well pursued In court records and in the reminiscences of policemen in New York aa in the meager records revealed in Washington. Mr. May, a backwoods Congressman and Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee of tha House of Representatives, knew Murray Garsson for years but knew nothing questionable about him. The outline of Garsson'i bankruptcies, his association with eminent New York gangsters of the prohibition era and his arrests, and data on his brother, Henry, have been entered in the Congressional Record. Mr.

May would seem to have been no mora careless, however, than others In times past or the Army officers who dealt with the Garsson corporations. The FBI had the records of both and Gov. Tom Dewey of New York, Ed Mulrooney, the retired Police Commissioner, and a number of otheri here had picked up their trail, particularly Murray's, now and again for years. Mr. Dewey remembered Murray as a figure In a bribery case In the Federal Court when Garsson was a special assistant to William Doak, who wa Secretary of Labor under Herbert Hoover.

THE MOST INTERESTING detail disclosed In a day's search here was a loan of $130,000 worth of stock of the 20th Century-Fox Corp, to Murray Caisson by Joseph Schenrk. Willis Bloff, the old brothel keeper who had found his social level among the aristocrscy of Hollywood, testified on his trial for extortion that Jos had loaned Garsson $200,000. A later witness, Joe Moscowitz, Mr. Schenck's bookkeeper, went Into more detail. He said Schenrk loaned to himself and Garsson which wss paid for the stocks and that 6,000 shares, worth then approximately $130,000, was Garsson's share of the loan.

Garsson endorsed the stock In blank to Schenck. Had It gone up, Garsson, apparently, would have had a profit. This point was not developed. It was later sold for $120,000. Moscowlti said Garsson got none of the proceeds.

Nor, said he, did Schenck take a tax loss. Moscowltx said Garsson was a close friend of Schenck. This loan was made In November, 1937. At that time, Garsson wss winding up a career of three years as an investigator for the House Committee Investigating corporate reorganizations and bond-holding companies with the ostensible purpose of protecting investors from fraud. There had been many reorganizations and receiverships In the motion picture Industry In which the Fox interests were Involved, and Garsson's official duties as investigator took him to Hollywood.

He was in a position to make recommendations to the committee, known as the Sabath Committee, In honor of its Chairman, the Honorable Ad Sabath of Chicago. He could favor the companies, including Schenck's, or he could, if, for any reason, he felt prejudiced against the magnates of Hollywood, turn thumbs down. The nature of his recommendations as to the Schenrk Interests I do not yet know. But I do know that Moscowitz testified that Murray Garsson got a loan of $130,000 from a man whose interests he was in a position to serve or to hsrm. Chapel today by City Clerk Murray W.
