Charles W. Swoyer Is fair secretary. 5- ri -r the House Monday there are "sinister motives" behind testimony concerning him. Gen. Hardy told the committee Rep.

May sought "an equal break" for Erie Basin Metal Products, Elgin, 111., and Batavia Metal Products Batavia, 111., two of the syndicate's top companies. Other developments: 1 Undersecretary of War Kenneth C. Royall disclosed that, at his request, the Justice Department has begun a sweeping inquiry into Erie Basin and Batavia ac-tivites. He said he particularly asked the Justice Department to investigate a Government "overpayment of $1,010,315 to Batavia. 2 Committee Chairman Mead announced that the Justice Department also would be asked to study whether Washington Publicist Henry M.

Paynter committed perjury when he testified earlier this week about his work on the Garsson combine. 3 Mr. Royall revealed that Rep. May mistakenly accused him last Fall of having Mr. May investigated in connection with Erie Basin affairs.

Rep. May later told the undersecretary to forget about it, Mr. Royall related. 4 Benjamin Franklin Fields, an ex-convict who has been accused of offering a $5000 "bribe" to Democratic Senator Hugh B. Mitchell, of Washington, and a $10,000 job to a committee investigator in an attempt to have the inquiry halted, telegraphed from Los Angeles that he was coming to Washington to testify.

The committee previously had not been able to locate him. 5 An Army colonel declared that Army officers in Washington "interfered when Chicago army personnel decided they ought to make Garsson refund the -Batavia overpayment. He said the still-unrecovered money has been pilng up interest at the rate of $116 a day since June 11. David E. Will Alfred T.

Prices this week-end are expected to average about 12 to 14 cents above the old OPA ceilings.

Part of this was attributed to the elimination of the five-cent-a-pound subsidy paid under the OPA. The rest, according to trade circles, is due to the fact on-the-hoof prices were driven up in the first few days by the brisk buying sprees at the nation's stockyards which followed OPA's death. 'Supply Picture Encouraging A representative chain store said its week-end meat prices would be 55 cents a pound for round steak, 65 for sirloin, 75 for T-bone, 45 for rib roast, 43 for chuck roast, 39 for hamburger, 59 for pork chops, 43 for pork loins, 45 for fresh-hams and 49 for cured hams. These prices range 11 to 27 cents a pound above the old OPA ceiling. "If OPA stays oft another week," one packer said, "prices will start coming down and nobody will want OPA back.

The entire supply picture is absolutely encouraging and the flow of cattle here should continue to increase through August." 7US i tW Air iinsr water.

Hardy returned to the witness stand to continue his story of "influence" exerted in Washington in behalf of "paper empire" firms whose war profits are under scru tiny. The gerieral disclosed that he personally recommended an Army-Navy award for BataviaJ Previous testimony disclosed' that the award was made over repeated protests of the Chicago ordnance office.

He said he recommended the award af tr receiving a special telephoned request from Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson to consider the nomination. Shows Nomination Blank Mr. Patterson testified this week that Mr. May had called him to "inquire about the possibility" of having an awarded the munitions firm.

Mr. Patterson said he had "full confidence" in the decision of the Army Awards Board. Committee Chairman James M. Mead, New York Democrat, produced the Batavia nomination blank. He disclosed that the phrase "recommended and approved" had been stricken out by Col.

John Slezak of the Chicago office and M. H. Pettit of the award committee. "Then," he said, turning to Gen. Hardy, "the words 'recommended and approved have been typed back in over your signature." Gen.

Hardy said he didn't recall doing that but, "that is my signature." Denies Making Award "There is only one approval on this nomination," Mr. Mead said heatedly, "and that is yours. What the committee is interested in finding out in view of all the denials of responsibility from top to bottom is who gave the award." Gen. Hardy said he didn't "make" the award, he "recommended" it. Mr.

Mead asked Gen. Hardy why he didn't read the "unfavorable comments' in the report that had come to him along with the nomination. "I ordinarily didn't handle 'E' Gen. Hardy replied. "Then why did you in this case?" "This memorandum," Gen.

Hardy said, referring to one he had sent Mr. Patterson recommending the award, "says 'in accordance with your (Mr. Patterson's) telephone request'." Went, to Chicago "What happened to the linf avor-able comment?" Mr. Mead pressed. "I don't know," Gen.

Hardy replied. Mr. Mead asked if it was not "very unusual" for Gen. Hardy to recommend an award inasmuch as he usually did not handle awards. "Quite," Gen.

Hardy Earlier, Gen. Hardy had testified that was exerted on behalf of Batavia. He told of being sent to Chicago in March 1944, by Maj. Gen. L.

H. Campbell, ordnance chief, after Gen. Campbell had received a telephone call from Mr. May relaying a complaint from Garsson. Got Shell Contract Earlier testimony disclosed that after Gen.

Hardy went to Chicago Batavia was awarded an 8-inch shell contract, and Chicago officers were "thoroughly burned up" because Garsson exerted "pressure strong enough" to bring Gen. Hardy to Chicago. The General disclosed that Batavia proved to be the second highest cost producer of shells in the ordnance program. Committee Counsel George Meader hoped Garsson himself would be called to testify before the day was over. Garsson has been identified as the "mastermind" and contract-getting of the- 16-firm Illinois munitions combine.

Although Mr. Barkley would not speculate on the possibility of another presidential veto. It was recalled that the Democratic leader told Mr. Truman before he rejected the first price extension bill that "it was the best he could get." Mr. Barkley still had hopes of defeating the amendment offered by Republican Senator Robert A.

Taft, of Ohio, to guarantee producers their 1940 prices plus subsequent cost increases. Mr. Taft's new amendment has been altered little from the form it had when the President singled it out for individual criticism in his veto message on the earlier OPA extension bill. Mr. Wolcott characterized the bill now being written in the Sen ate as "worse than the bill the President vetoed." He said there would not be sufficient votes in the House to override a second veto and "there'll be no more OPA legislation offered." He said the only alternative then would be for Congress and the President to approve his pending resolution to revive rent controls.

Mr. Wolcott foresaw a possibility that -the House would instruct its confereees to substitute the initial measure rejected by the President for the new Senate bill. He suggested that the President might choose the bill he already has turned down as the lesser of two evils.

'Pants Thief Refuses to Eat A man who, police say, is Pittsburgh's original "pants thief has gone on a hunger strike in jail. The suspect, Milton Swan, 32, of Terrace Place, is being fed through the veins by City Physician Thomas Cook. Swan, credited with "pulling at least 200 pants jobs" by North Side Police Inspector Frank Ferris, has Refused to eat since his capture Tuesday by a North Side prowl car crew. Inspector Ferris said he has been already identified by four or five women who awoke in time to see him fleeing with their husbands' trousers. The Inspector said Swan, who has a long criminal record, wore three pairs of socks and a pair of rubber shoes to deaden his footfalls.

He said the suspect's technique was to climb through bedroom windows in silence, then use a tiny flashlight to guide him to his victim's trousers. He usually "ditched the pants" after rifling them, Inspector Ferris said. Swan, whose recent "hitch" in service, was marked by a corre-sponding decrease for that period in the number of pants thefts, will be given a hearing in North Side Police Court Saturday. He may slso be given "standups" in every police station in the city to give jobbery victims a chance to try and identify him. Jruman Urges Force for Peace WASHINGTON, July 11 (UP) "President Truman today told a group of educators that world peace is possible if the United Nations is given a police force sufficiently powerful to enforce its mandates.

Mr. Truman spoke informally in his office to 150 men and women attending a conference on emergency problems in higher education iere under the auspices of the Council on Education. "If we can implement the United Nations with a police force behind it sufficient to make its mandates stand up, we can have world peace," Mr. Truman said. He said international dealings do not differ from those between in-tiividuals.

"Nations represent a community of individuals and there isn't any niore reason why we can't understand each other as nations than why we can't understand each 'other as individuals." is 'ibenar IMSVAHY CIF1FEES VS TO CHOOjf mmj MAXWlU 1 tSS TIME d.LmS vnunum ice Imgrund Betty Lou Crozier Warner Virginia F.
