THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES: CHATTANOOGA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1947. 'BALL YHOOf.HU GHES TRUMAN PUTS 2 FORD FOREGOES SUIT PROVISION son and Sens, Cain Wash.) and O'Conor Lovett said that WPB'a action in awarding a cargo plane contract to Hughes and Kaiser "worried" him and "caused concern" on the part of the joint chiefs of staff. Another memorandum read into the record by Lovett disclosed that in 1945, Henry L. Stlmson, then secretary of war, expressed the opinion that "serious consideration" should be given to completing the flying boat, even at an additional cost of 10 per cent, because it "would provide valuable scientific information If it passed tests.

-Stlmson was writing to John W. Snyder, then director of war mobilization and reconversion and now secretary of the Treasury. BRIDGE OVER DAM HAS PR A APPROVAL may have climbed to record levels. An above average demand from lower-income families was given as an important factor. Continued shortages of some consumer durable goods were also given as factors in the meal price situation.

The department said that "spending for niest increases relatively nfore than most other foods when consumer income in the lower income brackets increases." Taking notice of uncertain corn crop prospects, the department said smaller feed grain production this year would not cause a de crease in meat production this year, but would lower the output next year. Because of the late start of the corn crop, it is possible that the quantity of soft and wet corn that is corn caught by killing frosts before it has time to mature and dry will be greater than usual. This will tend to increase somewhat the demand for cattle for fattening and pigs for feeding before the com spoils. to Washington for a conference with Commissioner McDonald. In Washington, Judge Thrasher was advised that it would be necessary for tha state highway department to prepare a survey showing the need for the bridge and how it would serve to link up through highways.

Judge Thrasher returned from Washington and went almost immediately to Nashville, where he conferred with state highway department officials and arranged for them to prepare the survey as quickly, as possible, DROP PREDICT ED IN PRICE OF MEAT From Page One the animals may be lighter in weight unless an unusually large quantity of this year's corn turns out to be of high moisture content, requiring heavy feeding during the winter to prevent its spoilage. The department said meat prices From Page One taken these reasonable, steps in regard to illegal strikes." The Ford letter pointed wit that its "good faith" proposal to the LI AW was not to be regarded am a effort by the company to evade the new labor law. "The union is asking us to include in our new agreement a provision which would in effect nullify certain provisions of the Taft-Hartley law," Ford said. "This," he added, "we cannot agree to do. We respect and obey the laws of the land and cannot be partv to placing unions above the law." He added that Ford was aware that "irresponsible factions" In the UAW could "inspire incidents" over which the leadership might have no control.

17 'I state highway department accompanied by proper engineering data. Kefauver notified Judge Thrasher that the file on the Chickamauga Dam bridge had been returned, to fhe state highway department "for completion of the application and the settlement of details." A similar bridge over the Wats Bar Dam near Spring City is also contemplated, but Kefauver notified Judge Thrasher that the Public Roads Administration said the state highway's survey on the need of a bridge over this dam had not been received in Washingtpn by the PRA. Officials of the state highway department in Nashville were not reached last night for comment as to how soon an application may be filed with the PRA, but county officials here declared they felt sure an application would be filed as soon as the necessary data is obtained and that there would be no hitch in the plans. Construction of a bridge over Chickamauga Dam has been the No. 1 project of the courjty judge's office here almost since the day the dam was built.

Former Judge Will Cummings tried for several years to get the bridge built, and when Judge Thrasher was elected county judge to succeed the late County Judge Couch, one of his first official acts was to go ON RADIOS and RECORD PLAYERS Must Make Room for New Models LCT erf 3 Prices Gut 2L D3 7 00 From Page One provided the state builds the approaches. Kefauver said "apparently the state is willing to go along on this basis."

Meyer left Paris by air today to testify on instructions from Hughes. The hearing today brought these developments: 1.

Ferguson produced a "letter of intent" contract under which Hughes is building a huge flying boat. This, the senator said, makes It clear that the Government cannot take over tha plane for four years after it first flies unless it pays Hughes an additional $2,000,000. The 200-ton flying boat already has cost the Government $18,265,970, and a former Government engineer testified the final figure exclusive of any new $2,000,000 item will run about $21,115,970. 2. Under-Secretary of State Robert A.

Lovett testified that America's military high command warned in 1942 against diverting scarce materials from war combat planes to huge cargo craft such as Hughes and Henry J. Kaiser were authorized to build. i S. Robert Edwards, former supervising engineer for the Defense Plant Corporation, declared that in 1944 Hughes management disregarded his order to stop work on the flying boat after the eon-tract had been ordered canceled. Lit later reinstated.

Can Lease Plane Ferguson, read into the record a DPC letter of intent which hej said gives Hughes the right to lease the big flying boat when it is completed. Ferguson said the letter consti tutes a valid contract under whieh Hughes would have use of the plane by paying $37,500 a month rental, as well as $50 for every flight hour and $8.25 for every hour the engines operate. The letter further provided' that the lease would run until the rentals totaled the amount of his own money Hughes has put Into the project in excess of the the Government has put up. Hughes says he has spent 000,000. but the letter fixes a $2,000,000 ceiling on expenditures for which he could collect.

Fer guson said that Under this arrangement Hughes could retain of the craft four about four years after it is first flown. The Government could cancel the rental provisions, Ferguson said, by paying Hughes the $2,000,000. Lovett, who was assistant secretary of war for air in 1942, testified the army had "an elaborate plan" for manufacture of cargo planes, but that it did not include Kaiser's proposal for mass production of huge flying bosts to thwart the submarine menace.

The I94T general education law provided, the counties must use 70 pec cent of this money for school, ouiKimg construction and mainte-manc and for transportation. A special section tn the sales tax act requires Hamilton County to turn 0 per cent of all the money It receives from the sales tax levy ver to Chattanooga. To carry out Gov.
