Chairman Homer Ferguson, of a war investigating subcommittee looking into Hughes' plane contracts at one potat threatened to cite a Hughes associate with contempt if the demanded records were not produced. Hughes' third day of testimony before the sub-committee churned up repeated clashes between him treatment while in prison. The burglaries occurred between March and November, 1946. They were arrested by Washington police last April 9, when Mont's girl friend was seen with a ring taken in one of the Soviet Scores U. S.

They started out calmly enougn. Hughes denied allegations that he hired Hollywood publicity man Russell Birdwell to seek White House backing for his aircraft, and Dietrich testified that it wasn't true that Birdwell entertained former Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones during a 1942 Washington junket. But the Meyer-records quarrels quickly shattered the dignity of the proceedings, and the Brewster-Hughes feud refused to stay buried, warning that it was a "blank check for totalitarian pow ers After hearinz Churchill assail the "It is our investment in the recovery of a world in which we can survive, just as the two hundred or more billions of dollars we spend in the last 6,000 to Train in PNG Encampment At Indiantown Gap Military Studies to Continue for 15 Days For Accusations war was an investment in sur vival."

8 (U.R) Russia bitterly assailed the United States today for charging entertainment in his Doss' oenan. Hushes flatly rejected Fergu bill as a potentially sinister Instrument of dictatorship, Commons gave it a vote of 251 to 148. It was an exceptionally light vote. The House has 640 members. The ballot of less than two to one for the government's bill was something short of a smashing victory for Prime Minister Clement R.

Attlee's crisis program. Aside from the lambasting the bill took from Churchill, the vote reflected discontent with the government's plan which had been heard on all sides since Attlee unveiled it Wednesday. After his formal speech, Churchill clashed sharply with Home Secretary James Chuter Ede in the closing phase of the economic debate. Ede told the House the government wanted the emergency powers to deal "effectively, drastically and quickly with awkward situations that may arise."

8 (U.R) The beautiful blonde wife of an Arkansas politicaj leader shot and killed -her father-in-law last night with the service revolver her husband carried at his side when he led the United States Marine invaders ashore on Bougainville Island during the war. The husband is Sidney C. Mc-Math, county prosecutor, who has been alternately boomed for governor or United States senator. He flew to his wife's side by special plane from southeastern Arkansas where he was being feted at a political rally. He said his wife apparently killed his father in a frenzy of fear after an argument over one of McMath's favorite horses.

"In the last analysis," he said, "the American people are more interested in how much their government will actually spend than they are in shifts and changes in the appropriation structure." Actual spending, according to the President's budget bureau, will run about what Mr. Truman originally asked from Congress $37,500,000,000. Political chieftains of the two parties carried the budget dispute to the voters last night in radio talks. Chairman Carroll Reece of the Republican National Committee declared (ABC) that "despite the bitter opposition of Mr. Truman and his millions of tax-eating bureaucrats, Congress slashed several billions of dollars from the President's budget." Gael Sullivan executive chairman of the Democratic National Committee, countered (CBS) with the assertion that Republicans "missed their goal by 79 per cent.

He charged that it would cause so much uneasiness and alarm as to discourage and paralyze effort. Thundering to the House that Prime Minister Clement Attlee's speech sketching the emergency program "is universally judged inadequate to the crisis," Churchill cried: "Are the government trying to make up for lack of deeds by boastful words? This is the most innocent explanation of this bill which I can find. "Why should they come forward with all these demands for totalitarian powers when nothing said by the prime minister or by any of the ministers who spoke yesterday in the debate furnished any substantial reason for their having them? "Because they want to get Parliament separated and on holiday, and then use these powers? Or is it that, having no effective plan or decision, they wish to c-ver up the vacuity by assumption of sweeping powers?"

The weather bureau said no heavy rains were in sight. Meanwhile, the cold air mass that dropped midwest temperatures as much as 20 degrees yesterday continued toward the Atlantic Ocean. It reached Ohio last night and kept on moving, bringing welcome relief to perspiring easterners. Except in the southern states, untouched by the cold air mass, the heat wave rapidly was becoming a bad memory. But in Its wake it left at least 138 deaths attributable to the hot weather.

Temperatures continued to range between 90 and a hundred from St. Louis south. The weather bureau at Chicago said the south could expect no immediate relief. Northward the reports were brighter. Farmers feared a drought would be their next 1947 trouble.

Although farm experts agreed that a drenching rain was needed, they disagreed upon the seriousness o' the need. Some Iowa farmers were comparing the situation to the droughts of the 1930's.

8 (U.R) Latest figures from government agencies showed today that prices and incomes are still on the upswing. The Labor Department reported that its wholesale market price index rose one-half of one per cent during the week ended August 2. It attributed the rise chiefly to substantial increases in steel products and some building materials. At the same time, Commerce Department data showed that the personal income of Americans reached an all-time high in June, rising to an annual rate of $193,000,000,000. This compared with an estimated $191,500,000,000 in March.

The increase was said to be due to "a continued moderate expansion of factory payrolls" and a "greater than seasonal increase in agricultural income." On the price front, farm products declined but food and all other commodities went up during the week ended August 2. The rise pushed the wholesale index for 800 commodities to a postwar peak of 513 per cent above the 1926 average. This was 21 per cent higher than a year ago. miners who are asthma sufferers.
