Gunderson Also Testifies Of the total received from Boyle, Gratz said $1,261 was paid to him after Boyle became Democratic national chairman. But he said none of the money was received for work performed in the interest of Boyle's legal clients. Gratz testified after Harvey J. Gunderson, former RJ.C. director, said he discussed his chances for becoming president of the New York Stock Exchange with Republican National Chairman Guy Gabrielson only after he knew he was leaving the agency.

He said Gabrielson brought up the question late in August or early in September, 1950, two or three weeks after President Truman had refused, to renominate Gunderson.

He said he received $2,432 for compensation and $1,368 for expenses in 1946; $1,870 for compensation and $1,344 expenses in 1947; $1,220 for compensation and $1,505 expenses in 1948, and $500 compensation and $761 expenses in 1949.

The Yankees bounced back behind Easy Ed Lopat's superlative southpaw pitching today to cool the blazing Giants, 3 to 1, and square the World Series at a victory apiece. The chunky left-hander, winner of 21 games during the season, dazzled the National League champions with his soft-breaking stuff, limiting them to five singles and keeping tnem far from home plate, except in the seventh. Tomorrow the scene shifts to the nearby home of the Giants, and nobody would be surprised now if these two clubs fight it out right through the full seven games. Dipsy-Doodles Do It Leo Durocher, the Giants manager, will go with big Jim Hearn, the right-hander who pitched such a great game against the Dodgers in the play-off opener at Ebbets Field Monday. For the Yanks it will be Vic Raschi, the husky, quiet fellow who can throw a baseball through a brick wall.

Hearn has a season's rerorri of 17-9, Raschi of 21-10. Manager Casey Stengel's crew wrapped up today's triumph with a pair of runs off Larrv Giants' right-hander. two chapters. The winning tally crossed on a solo blast into the right-field stands by Joe Collins, Yank first baseman, in the second. From there on the Giants were in a hopeless chase of Lopat's dipsy-d oodles.

Only Monte Irvin, the Giants sizzling left fielder, found th Bomber southpaw no puzzle. Monte rapped three clean singles into the outfield grass to go with the triple and three singles he blasted in yesterday's opener. If he maintains anything like that pace he will, of course, break every record in the books. Lacks Some Excitement After the first two frames, Jansen fully matched Lopat's brilliance until he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh. From the time Collins connected fr his 10th of the year with two out in the second, Jansen retired 13 straight batters.

George Spencer, his relief, also sat the Bombers down in order in the seventh to run the string to 16 in a row before the American Leaguers added their final run in the eighth. The game, for all the tight pitching, lacked some of the excitement of yesterday's tense battle and the crowd of 66,018 sat on its hands most of the warm, sunny afternoon. After the Yanks punched in their two runs it was pretty obvious that the Giants would have to be extremely lucky to do much with Lopat.

Inquiry Into Death Of Dope-Ring Informer Subpoenas Actress By Tho Associated Press Los Angeles, Oct. 5. Barbara Payton, the blonde with a penchant for the limelight, has received a summons to tell a federal grand jury what she might know about the 1950 gangland slaying of narcotics informer Abe Davidian.

The radio broadcast an interview that Stalin gave to Pravda, official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It quoted him as saying: "Tests of atom bombs of various calibers will be made in the future under the plan of the defense of our country from attacks from the British-American aggressive bloc." Says Prohibition Desired Stalin also said Russia wants atomic bombs prohibited, but the United States will use them in "the event of a United States attack on our country." He declared that is why Russia is building up its atomic defense. Stalin's statement came only. three days after an announcement by President Truman in Washington that the United States had information the Soviet Union re cently exploded a second atomic bomb. The Soviet leader said the Rus sian atomic weapons threaten no one.

He hinted that conditions may be more favorable now for the prohibition of all atomic weapons. 'The Soviet Union stands pre cisely for this international con trol," he was quoted as saying. Control Attempts Recalled After the first Soviet atomic blast in 1949 there was a renewed effort in Russia to push through the Kremlin's demands for out lawing atomic weapons. However, the majority of the countries in the United Nations, including the United States, insisted that any ban on atomic weapons must be accompanied by an ironclad system of controls to make sure there was no illegal atomic production. Russia balked at this system, which would include full inspection of Soviet plants.

The U. N. majority plan, wnicn Russia has opposed since it was introduced in the U. N. four years ago, calls for control of all atomic products bombs and peacetime energy by an international com mission.

Continuous Checks Provided It also calls for spot checks by an international group whenever it choses to make them to assure that no country is illegally making atomic weapons. Russia insists that the idea of unscheduled inspections would violate her territory. Soviet spokesman have insisted that creation of an international com mission to control the development atomic energy would give "capitalist imperialism" a toehold in Russia.

Selective Service Director Lewis B. Her- shey announced today that local Draft Boards will begin reclassifying about 500,000 childless married men next week. He said some will be inducted almost immediately. Simultaneously, Assistant Defense Secretary Anna M. Rosenberg disclosed that all enlisted Army reserves recalled to active duty against their wishes will be returned to civilian life five days before Christmas.

They had been scheduled to stay in until January 1. The draft law passed by Congress in June ordered the reclassification of childless married men from 3-A to 1-A unless they qualify for deferments on some Aluminum Plants To Stay In Northwest U. S. Cancels Removal As Drought Is Broken By Tho Aasoclated Freta Washington, Oct. 5.

Mobilization Director Charles E. Wilson today announced the abandonment for the time being of studies on the removal of aluminum plants from the Pacific Northwest to the Ohio River Valley. Recent rainfall has so improved the power supply in the Northwest as to make a shift of aluminum production "uneconomical at this time," Wilson said. Asked Report 2 Weeks Azo The decision was made public in a brief statement two weeks after the mobilization chief asked major aluminum producers to report on the cost and feasibility of moving part of the industry to the Ohio River area or elsewhere. Since then, heavy rains have broken a drought which began in April and which reduced water levels in the Columbia basin dangerously.

Wilson said: "Recent rains in the Northwest have so improved the power situation in that area that studies of the desirability of moving aluminum potlines (production) from that region to other areas of the country have been discontinued by the defense mobilization agencies. 2 Potlines Are Reopened "The improvement has been sufficient to warrant reactivation of the two potlines in the Northwest that were shut down. "It also carries the prospect of power sufficiently, into the future to render the transfer of potlines from the Northwest uneconomical at this time." The aluminum companies Reynolds Metals Company, Aluminum Company of America, and Kaiser Aluminum Corporation-gave Wilson cost studies immediately after his initial request. But they opposed the transfer. The aluminum industry said it felt the cost in time, money, and lost production would be greater If a transfer were undertaken than if nature were depended on to restore normal water levels in the reservoirs of Northwest dams, fl V( m7 Shyy' Courier-Journal Photo JET-PROPELLED Flame-throwing gadgets like the one attached to the automobile being examined by Louis Bard, left, and Patrolman Ray Sweeney have been appearing here and elsewhere.

Without his testimony the Government's case collapsed and charges were dismissed against 15 defendants.

Among the defendants questioned in the Davidian slaying was Stanley W. Adams, Inverness, Cal. Adams told officers he was at Miss Payton's apartment with actor Don Cougar the day Davidian was slain. He added that he later went to a Sunset Boulevard barbershop. Three barbers denied this, but Miss Pay-ton and Cougar testified they had seen him that day.

The jury convicted Adams of perjury, and he is serving time. Couger is also in jail, serving a year for possessing marijuana. United States Attorney Ernest Tolin announced last month that a federal grand jury would reopen, its investigation into the Davidian killing, calling nine witnesses.
