Q. Sharpe said he would call a meeting, probably in July, of the Missouri River States I Committee to co-ordinate various matters affecting Missouri River development the Bureau of Reclamation, flood control and rivers and harbors bills." Back from Washington, where he testified last week before the Senate Commerce Committee on the flood control (Pick plan) bill, he told reporters: "Apparent conflicts of Interest are gradually disappearing." Sharpe, chairman of the Missouri River States Committee, said he and Govs. Sam Ford of Montana and John Moses of North Dakota had agreed on July 10 as the date for the meeting. He said other Missouri River states Governors were being polled to see if the date is satisfactory to all. He said the meeting probably will be held at Omaha or Denver.

"It is reasonably plain there isn't any irreconcilable conflict between the interests of navigation, power development and flood control," he said. "They're slowly gravitating toward a co-ordinated plan in which they all will be satisfied. Most of the agitation and pronouncements of controversy are from people other than department heads and engineers of official agencies." Senate likely to Delay Action on River Bills. WASHINGTON, June 13 (AP). Senate consideration of legislation to authorize a $1,310,000,000 postwar program of flood control and rivers and harbors work apparently will be delayed until late summer.

Senator Overton Louisiana, told the Senate yesterday it would be impossible to take up the 500 million rivers and harbors bill and the 810 million flood control bill until after the contemplated congressional recess later this month. The House has passed both measures. A permanent national policy governing sale and distribution or energy generated at Government-owned power projects may be written into the flood control bill. Members of a Senate commerce subcommittee, beaded by Overton, which is considering the measure, have expressed interest in an amendment proposed by Senator McClellan Arkansas, relating to the Arkansas and White River basins. Secretary of the Interior Ickes has indorsed the McClellan pro posal, which stipulates that energy from Government projects should first be sold to the Government if needed, secondly to co-operatives and similar groups, and finally to private distributors.

PERMIT FOR FERTILIZER PLANT UN ANULLIUA dlHttl OR AN I tU i A permit for opening of a. fer- Llilizer factory, making its product wholly from chemical substances, at 1 Angelica street, was granted today by the Board of Public Service, after a public hearing. Dewey K. Lange, representing Lange operators of the plant, said no odor perceptible outside the building would be created. Alderman Harry Stoffer objected to the granting of the permit, saying he feared there would be an odor which would offend the neighborhood.

The board refused a rehearing to Henry E. LeRoy, 4334 Vista avenue, for statement of his objections to a permit, granted by the board May 19, for permission to operate a magnesium and alumi num foundry at 4480 Hunt avenue. LeRoy charged that the board, in granting the permit, had considered only the status of Hunt avenue under the zoning ordi nances, it being an unrestricted area, and that the health of the neighborhood had not been duly considered.

RICHMOND, June 13. In vestigations looking: toward suits to recover huge sums of money alleged to have been dissipated in mismanagement of Central States Electric Corporation are to made under a decision of the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals, which upholds a demand by the Securities and Exchange com mission and the Preferred Stock holders' Committee of Central States. The Court of Appeals, In a long rulirg yesterday, reversed an or der made last Dec. 11 by District Judge Robert Pollard at Rich mond, which had confirmed a rec ommendation of the trustees oi the bankrupt Central States asrainst efforts to sue for account ings. Central States, dominated by Harrison Williams, spectacular New York financier, controlled the vast North American hold lng concern of Union Electric Co of Missouri.

Counsel for the various parties In the court proceedings have not received copies of the appellate decision and hence have not determined exactly the extent of action implied in the reversal. SEC spokesmen pointed out that the language of the concluding por tion of the decision might be in terpreted to mean either that th new investigations should bemad to determine whether recovery suits should be filed, or should be done directly in aid of prepa ration of such suits. Clause in Decision. This clause said: "We are not unmindful that the confirmation of the report and the granting of the relief asked In the petition were matters resting in. the sound discretion of the District Judge, but we think it is clear that refusing to order the further In vestigation which the records here so clearly called for, the District Judge was not exercising the dis cretion vested in him, but was proceeding on the erroneous view that he had no discretion to oraer a further Investigation In view of what he conceived to be the right of the debenture holders with re- snect to the funds in the hands of the trustees.

At all events, we think that while ordinarily the Judge's ac tion in refusing a further investi gation should not be disturbed the facts here so clearly call for further investigation and action that the order appealed from should be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceed iners in accordance with this opinion." SEC has alleged that mlsman agement cost Central States nun dreds of millions of dollars. The corporation entered bankruptcy more than two years ago, with re maining assets amounting to small fraction of its obligations In the boom days of 1929, when Central States capital securities had market value of 730 million dollars, Williams had Invested in the corporation only $2,072,000 of his own money, but he refused to sell out then because he wanted to run the assets up to a billion dollars. SEC Joined in Appeal. An appeal from Judge Pollard's order by the Preferred Stockhold ers Committee was Joined by SEC. In its brief, SEC asserted that the report of the bankruptcy trustees against further investiga tion, made last Sept.

28, contained facts which "indicate misconduct, mismanagement and irregularities on the part of the former officers and directors and the controlling stockholder of the debtor corporation, Harrison Williams." The trustees had reported that while there might be causes of action against these persons, they had been advised that such ac tions were barred by various statutes of limitations. The trus tees opposed suits on the grounds they would be barren of results and an unjustified expense against the bankrupt estate. They were supported by the Boyce Commit tee, representing $4,393,000 of 18 millions in outstanding Central States debentures, and by Eugene Casey, owner of $500,000 of the de bentures. Joining SEC and the preferred stockholders was the Reeve Committee, representing $3,600,000 of the debentures. Judge Pollard held he was not justified in incurring the expense against funds due the debenture owners over the protest of a sub stantial portion of those owners.

SEC's brief urged not only re versal of Judge Pollard's order and a further Investigation, but 'institution of such suits as may appear appropriate In the light thereof.

the Invasion! TK City. Olde.t mnd Largeit Lean Ca. 72 YEARS AT 912-916 FRANKLIN AYE. (1) Lures Major BALTIMORE, June 13 (AP). with the Baltimore Orioles these are eyeing blastin' Bias Monaco, International loop.

But the turnstiles are clicking merrily with Baltimore fans en thusiastically backing the Birds' hopes for their first pennant since the great Jack Dunn, lefty Grove, et ml, 19 years ago. Monaco is their pet and Manager Tommy Thomas isn hankering for the major uprising likely If the speedy were sold now. Today the Orioles are In first place, a half-game ahead of Jersey City, after blasting out a 12 to 5 victory over Montreal last night, while Jersey City was being DianKea by third place Buffalo. The Orioles chilled Buffalo and Rochester, two main rivals last week, with Monaco doing his best mtung. As lead-off man, he's proving a second ciean-up hitter.

Bias is whacking the ball at a .345 clip, having lifted his average 24 points in live Datue with Burralo. Ail he did was get on base 16 of 25 times, hit .529, including nine safe bingles in 17 official trips. Four of those hits were home runs, one with the bases loaded, and he drove in nine tallies. He is a witch hitter, batting right or left. Any lead-orr man who drives In 32 runs in 44 games is something.

As proof of Bias' sharp eye, he has reached base 101 times this season in 1S8 times to the plate for a .537 average there. Fast afield, he stole 41 bases last year. Jack Doyle of the Chicago Cubs haa been around Inquiring, and yesterday Ira Thomas of the Philadelphia Athletics was shopping. Baltimore bought Monaco, a San Antonio (Tex.) native, from Cedar Rapids of the Three-Eye League after the 1942 season. He is 23 now and is 4-F in the draft.

Thomas is beaming and elated over sale prospect, but he scents a pennant and is none too anxious to see Blastin' Bias go. On the other hand, under a working agreement with Cleveland, the Indians can take any two Orioles at the end of the season for $10,000 each. Now, Bias would bring a fancy price tag, but the Birds aren't selling yet. Jeff Dickson, Former Sports Promoter, Was Killed in Action NEW YORK, June 13 (AP). Army Capt.

Jefferson Davis Dickson 47, sports promoter previously reported missing, was killed In an air battle last July over Paris, France, the city in which he conducted numerous sporting events, his widow said last night. The death of Dickson, often called "the Tex Rickard of was reported in a War Department casualty list yesterday. His widow, the former Louise W. Edell Mastbaum of Philadelphia, said she was informed he was making a photographic Intelligence flight in a large bomber which was shot down. Mrs.

Dickson lives here with a S-year-old daughter, Christine Lee. The couple was married in 1938 and Dickson applied for a commission in 1941. High School Pitcher Signed by Red Sox NEW ORLEANS, June 13 (AP). Richard "Smiling Dick" Callahan, double no-hit pitcher of the Holy Cross College prep school baseball team here, changed his mind about a college education yesterday and put his signature on a Boston Red Sox contract.
