DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1947 Maria, Here to WedEx-GI, loses Kentucky Home Dream (Continued from page S) '42 little hat with the veil down the by Representative Andresen that House Majority Leader Halleck (R-Mich.) said even members of Congress would be subjected to scrutiny if they traded on the exchanges. A special committee will be named to pry the lid off those w-ho, as Representative A. S. Monroney (D-Okla.) put it, "plav a game of craps with human food." The House resolution, however, does not concern itself with Anderson's big-shot list. His Cards on the Table.

Testimony made public by the Senate committee showed that Anderson laid his cards on the table. He said he was faced with Sketch of proposed garage with landscaped roof planned or 64th-65th Sts. between Second and Third Aves. 19-Sfory Hemes for Car Barn Site By JOHN CROSSON Plans for a 19-story, garden-surrounded apartment house, on the site of the old Third Ave. Railway Co.

The New York Life' Insurance Co. proposes to build it next Summer, along with a garage across the Unsnarl Trucking Tangle, Or I Will, Wallander Hints back perched jauntily atop her precious hairdo, a job done by the chip hairdresser. Then it happens.

A Catholic priest, the ship's moves through the little crowd, uentiy. he takes Maria's arm and guides her to a cabin. A line official ac companies them. The reporters glance at one another. Somethin, wrong The boys heard later what hap pened in that cabin.

How the priest stood quietly by while the line of ficial broke the traffic news, now the hazel eves, first puzzled, slow went flat and dead. How the little hat trembled and fell to the floor as Maria shook her head in disbelief. Refuses to Believe it. They heard how Maria, not yet in tears, whispered from a throat pone dry: "Dead? My Jimmy, dead? No. no, no, no.

The chaplain did what he could but not even men of God can stop a heart from breaking. The chaplain and the line official saw realization creep into Maria's face. Then the tears came They took Maria to Ellis Island because they had to. The regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service say that because the man she was to have married was dead, she would have to remain on the island pending a hearing before a special board of inquiry. Out in Kentucky, Mother Mcintosh, for the sun will not shine again soon, spoke quietly to a family friend.

She would not believe that Maria might be deported. Unaware of that possibi-bility, she thought only of how she might raise the money to send to New York for the girl who was to have been her son's wife. She said: "We would be such comfort to each other now." (Other pictures on page 1) SenateVotes For Spec List (Continued from page 2) II.) and Senator Homer Ferguson leaders in the committee's attempt to extract the list from Anderson, who was under subpoena, then agreed to submit the resolution. No sooner had this hit the Senate floor than Senator Tobey (R-N. jumped to his feet and bellowed: "I think the Senate stands insulted." The Senate met Truman's accusations that there was "outrageous speculation" on the grain exchanges, Tobey said, and now it f.nds itself "forestalled by the Administration." The committee itself voted 11 to 8 to seek the joint resolution after Anderson had: 1.

Offered to give the list to the committee provided it was made public at the same time, and 2. Refused point blank to give Senators a look at it in private after they had directed him to do so by a 10-9 vote. "I will have to decline that request," said Anderson sternly. "I will refuse to turn it over in executive session." Then Senator Leverett Salton-stall (R-Mass.) asked him to keep the list bottled up until after Congress had acted on the resolution. Anderson said he did not intend to release the names until Congress passed the measure.

Sweeping Probe Voted. A few minutes after the Senate Committee's secret session broke tip, the House itself voted a sweeping probe of all government and private speculation on commodity xchanges. So broad was the resolution, a dilemma, explaining: In the first place, I cannot imagine myself in a position of refusing to give a duly-constituted committee of Congress information which it has demanded. "But the alternative is also dis tressing. My own study of the law in question convinces me that I am prohibited from disclosing some of the information demanded by the committee except under cir cumstances which do not now exist." He assured the Senators that neither he nor the President "has the slightest objection to releasing the information you desire if the means are provided for doing so in good conscience, by direction of the Congress, and not under the shadow of legal doubt." Then he tossed the committee this: "If your decision to demand the names remains unchanged, you and the public will have them as rapid ly as we can gather the informa tion and prepare the lists.

GOP Prepares Aid Plan Slash (Continued from page 2) berg (R-Mich.) was reported not yet sold on some phases of it. Representative Christian Herter (R-Mass.) headed the special House committee on foreign aid and favors aid to Europe for a limited period on the basis that this would spur the 16 nations to greater effort to help themselves, An unofficial count of noses Republican ranks has convinced party leaders that thev have enough votes to limit the aid pro gram to the next fiscal year and make at least a billion-dollar cut in any amount Truman asks for. Text Given Out Early. This new threat from a powerful Republican bloc kicked up as the Administration emphasized the importance of Truman's Marshall Plan message. The text was given out tonight in advance, whereas usually a Presidential message is withheld from the press until an hour or two before delivery.

Additionally, the State Department briefed correspondents on a batch of bulky accompanying documents, to be released at the same time as the message. The arrival of Secretary of State Marshall from London by plane tomorrow morning will precipitate more fanfare. Truman will meet him. And as a followup for Truman's message, Marshall will make a nationwide radio address tomorrow night, pointing up our increased responsibilities to Europe in view of the failure of the foreign ministers' meeting.

1,700 Spots for Public. The company would retain only 300 spaces in the parking garage, between 64th and 65th for building tenants, leaving 1,700 spots for the public.

The company would assume the cost of paving and improving the wiaenea parts or 64th and 65th Sts. The zoning regulations would have to be amended before a garage could be constructed in that neighborhood. More Projects Forecast. "This will be the first of many projects to relieve congestion in the miatown area and to aid in the rehabilitation of run-down or poorlv planned areas," Rogers and Moses said as they presented the plan.

President John Cashmore clashed with a fel-low-Brooklynite, Council Majority Leader Joseph T. Sharkey, when a Council bill to raise the cost of pistol permits to $10 came to the Board of Estimate. Cashmore, also Brooklyn's Democratic leader, criticized the Council for sending in a Dili on which an amendment is already planned for $5 renewals of the permits.

that traffic flows through this town uninterruptedly. But we must have free movement in the streets." Hugh E. Sheridan, impartial arbiter for the trucking industry here, then announced that he would meet with a 24-man truckers' committee Tuesday to discuss night hauling, a type of vehicle designed to conserve street space, development of off-street loading and unloading, and improved routing. His committee will include leaders of truckers', associations and representatives of big hauling concerns. Wallander said he will meet with truckers again on Jan.

Schrafft Gets Court Surprise (Continued from page S) left New York, her father availed himself of the right of visitation on only one occasion Christmas, Of that Christmas visit George answered, "I was a most unwelcome visitor. My subsequent attempts to see our child and the constant refusals convinced me that my former wife's efforts are directed toward alienating the affections of my child for me." George opined that Susan hadn't used any of her own dough to support Candy in September. "It is my belief that all sums used for the support of my daughter were furnished by Guinle, voluntarily without expectation of reimbursement," he said. And, despite the fact that George is supposed to come by $50,000 a year, he'said he felt that Candy "has been adequately supplied by Guinle with all the things which are needed for her care, support and education, and that he had done so freely and without intention of asking that I reimburse him." Through her lawyer.

Louis Misb- ell, of 475 Fifth Susan said this wasn't so; that since George has defaulted in his payments, she had paid for Candy's support from her own funds. Hearing on the suit was set for Dec. 29. (Continued from page S) earlier and finishing later." John J. O'Rourke, president of the AFL Teamsters Joint Council in New York, who attended, said that meant more night trucking, and turned the idea down at once.

O'Rourke told reporters that night work for drivers was called "the graveyard trick," and that his unionists claimed "it ruins a man's family life and means he has to get acquainted with his children all over again every Saturday." Besides, added O'Rourke, the cost would be prohibitive. It would mean large extra costs for heating and lighting buildings at night and paying overtime not only to haulers, but to supervisors, receiving help and thousands of others. Wants Bus Use Curtailed. O'Rourke proposed, instead, that buses be banned on Fourth and Eighth Aves. and the Avenue of the Americas between 10 A.

Lacey, president of the AFL's Central Trades and Labor Council, suggested that trucks be permitted on the East and West Side Highways during the same hours, when passenger car traffic is low. He said motor fiaulage would move faster, also, if every third, fourth, or fifth crosstown street is made an ex press truck street. Wallander did not comment on any of the union proposals, except to say that he expected coopera tion Irom all sides. Lists His Reasons. Manhattan's traffic mess, he re peated, was getting worse every day, and nine factors were respon sible.

He listed these as: Great increase of five-ton or larger trail ers and trucks coming into Manhattan; steady increase in number of registered vehicles in New York, which now has nearly 1,000,000: narrow streets and tall buildings) in the concentrated business areas; street openings and excavations for public utilities; heavy pedestrian traffic; street repair work; trucks backing onto sidewalks, or parking at right angles to curbs; double parking, and ice and snow in Winter.
