Sen. Hub rt A. Taft, K., O., said

The house members agreed to Join
them a half hour later to resume

The new failure to break the

EDITORIAL
The Prairies Have Caught Fire
What was at first a dim cloud on the horizon no larger
than your hand has grown to titanic proportions and now
assumes the shape of a genu ne prairie fire that bids fair to
sweep the state.
I hat fire was touched off by the appealing and courageous
fight of Dixie Gilmer, now in the throes of a runoff against
Poy Turner, for the designation of democratic standard bearer
in the general election.
Tuesday will see whether the fire has gained sufficient
momentum to land Gilmer in the nominee's seat
Much confusion has been inje ted in the picture through
what are apparently conflicting statements from the forces of
H. C. Jones, defeated candidate in the first primary.
Aff davits and covnter-affidavits have filled the pages of
the ptess and the air waves of radio stations until the average
citizen is in a whirl.
Whether or not Jones was double-crossed is just as deep a
mystery to the Herald as it is to the average voter either
for or against Gilmer. This statement is based on the record
so far revealed. If we were to conjecture, however, we would
have to say that "some fire must exist where so much smoke

a program acceptable to both senate
and house conferees Radcltffe said
the group may recommend that a
special decontrol board receive au-
thority to roll back prices on the
exempted commodities If they get
too far out of line.
Re-establishment of price ceilings
would be done by a decontrol board
already provided for In the senate
bill. Under the present legislation,
however, the board would have only
authority to remove ceilings when
supply reaches demand.
"We would merely be expanding
the Jurisdiction of the board." Rad-
cllffe said
Radcllffe added that while "no
one was committed to It," the pro-
posal probably will be brought up
today at the 14-man conference
committee "so that we can have
something concrete to work with."

SUBPOENA MAY
TO TESTIFY IN
PROFITS PROBE
Directed I o Appear
Next 1 uesday or Be
Compelled to Later
WASHINGTON. July 19 fU.P)—
The senate war profit* investigat-
ing committee today subpoenaed
Rep. Andrew J. May. D.. Ky. to
testily about hls connection with
a midwe.v munitions combine that
received $78,000,000 in war contracts
The rnmmillre asked May to ap-
pear next week, despite the im-
munity he has while congress is
in session. It notified him that
ntherwi e he would be compelled
to testify as soon as congress ad-
journs. Adjournment is expected
late this month or early next
month.
May previously appeared before
the committee in closed session.
The committee repeatedly has In-
vited him to testify in a open hEar-
I ing under oath May had replied
that he wculd not accept, unless he
1 was permitted to question other
witnesses.
Cnairman James M Mead, D,
N. Y signed the subpena after an-
nouncing that he had been author-
ized by the ccmmittee to do so.
"We expect Rep. May to appear
before this ccmmittee at a meet-
ing next Tuesday," Mead said.
Tne constitution protects a mem-
ber cf congress from subpena or
arrest while congress is in session
Sen. Owen Brewster. R., Me. a
member of the war investigating
ccmmittee said, that the immunity
lasts only during a session and for
such time thereafter as lt may take
tm member to reach hls home.
"The protection will expire wtth
the adjournment of congress," Brew-
ster said, "so that if cengress should
adjourn next week, after allowing
the congressman time to reach his
hem. the committee will have full
power to compel him to appear.
I thing Mr. May can well bear
that in inind." Brewster added.
He should also note that the
power cf this committee to compell
witnesses to appear extends to Jan.
3. 1947."
, Mead said the committee had
given May "am,o'e opportunity" to
appear and explain bix conneeo
tions with the midwest munitions
empire under investigation for al-
leged war profiteering.
We are resorting to this method
only because It Is the only thing
left for us to do," he said.
Ferguson said that ln the event
May went home, he could be ar-
rested on the order of a Kentucky
district attorney for refusing to
obey the subpena.
In this event, he said, it might
be necessary technically for the
ccmmittee to issue another sub-
pena after congress adjourns.
The subpena for May was issued
fellow ing the testimony of Sen-
ate Democratic Leader Alben W.
Barkley, Kv., House Democratic
Leader John W. McCormick,
Mass., and Chairman Adolph J.
Sabath. D„ IE., of the house rules
ccmmittee.
They all appeared voluntarily to
testify concerning previous test!-.
mony about telephone calls be- (
tween their offices and the Wash-
ington office of the munitions com-
bine.
They denied having ever inter-
ceded for tlje munitions firms.
Barkley revealed, however, that
his son had been employed by one
of the firms up to last month.
Saba'h said hts telephone calls
with the combine’s Washington of-
fice dealt exclusively with arrang-
ing for pincchie games.
Sabath was emphatic ln saying
he had nothing to do with any of
the $78.000.COO of war contracts giv-
en the munitions combine.
Saoath took the witness stand
after Senate Majority Leader Alben
W. Barkley, Ky and House Demo-
cratic Leader John W McCormack.
Mass . testified that they never tele-
phoned the combine's Washington
office.
Barkley dhclosed that until last
month his son had worked for
Batavia Mrtal Products, Inc., one
i/I the principal enmuanirs in the
16-firm combine.
When Sen. Hcmer Ferguson. R..
Mich, referring to previous testi-
mony about Freeman . "flashing
$1,000 bills," asked if the stakes
in pinochle games had beep that
high. Sabath chuckled:
“Oh. my Ood. no!"
Sabath said the most he ever
lost was “$10 or $25 "
The three congressmen appeared
before the committee at their own
request.
Mrs Jean Bates, secretary, also
repc rted telephone conversations
between her office and Rep Andrew
J May. D.. Ky . Sen. Homer E
Cape hart. R., Ind., and the office
of Senate Democratic Leader Al-
ben W Barkley, Ky.
