Dr. Thomas A. Groover, 63, lay in his apartment in the Wardman Park Hotel, and attending physicians held little hope he would live more than a few days. Dr. Groover is regarded as an au- thority in the X-ray field and is a charter member and past president of the American Roentgenological Society. He began his study of the rays’ properties in the old Emergency Hospital 40 years ago, barely five years after they were discovered by Roentgen, and the cancerous malady which now has attacked his Vlhl organs was induced by exposure to | the radiations. In the early years of his research, the tissue-deteriorating 4 | powers of X-rays had not yet been realized, and Dr. Groover thought the rash on his fingers, caused by frequent exposure to emanations in his laboratory, was eczema. The physician was forced to lose the fingers of his left hand, one by one, and finally, about 20 years ago, the entire arm. He was determined to continue his work, however, and his right hand became affected. Use of X-rays, frequently resorted to in treating maladies which destroy tissue, would be futile in Dr. Groov- er’s case, because his body's normal reaction to the radiation has been deadened by exposure to it over a period of many years.

Roberts, Justice. Johnson Demands More Dafa on Plane Sales fo Allies Senator Wants to Know How Foreign Orders Affect U. S. Air Arm | By the Associated Press. The question of allied warplane purchases was raised anew today by a congressional demand for com- plete data as to how they affect the air arm of the national defense. Senator Johnson, Republican, of California said he would insist that Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of the Air Corps, be called before the Sen- ate Naval Committee to supply the information. The committee, which is conduct- ing hearings on a bill to authorize an 11 per cent increase in the bat- tle fleet's strength, obtained Navy views on the subject yesterday from Admiral J. H. Towers. Concerned Over Army Interests. To complete the record, Senator Johnson said, he wanted to question Gen. Arnold on the extent the Army had waived priority delivery rights in order to permit the sale of Amer- ican military craft to the allies. He also seeks information on what ef- fect foreign orders have had on Arrny plane construction plans. Admiral Towers, chief of Naval Aeronautics, testified that allied purchases had not affected the Navy. The interest of belligerents to date. he said, had concentrated on land planes. The admiral upheld the joint Army-Navy decision to release the latest type military craft for export. He said both services would get bet- ter planes by waiving delivery now in favor of later models embodying improvements dictated by combat experience in Europe. Admiral Tow- ers held the policy already justified. Power to Take Bids Sought. Meanwhile, the committee consid- ered the recommendation of Admiral Samuel Robinson, chief of the Bu- reau of Engineering, that the pend- ing fleet expansion bill be amended to permit the Navy to let the ship contracts before construction funds were voted. An authorization meas- use. the expansion legislation carries no appropriation. Admiral Robinson explained that R | the 160,000 tons of fighting ships provided for in the bill were units which the Navy needed, and said the amendment would speed up their construction. 750-Mile Air Speed Expected. Admiral Towers said in reply to questions that developments ap- peared to indicate that the maxi- mum of air speed would be about 750 miles per hour. “With the rate the speed curve is going up now,” he testified, “it would seem that it might continue going up to 1,000 miles an hour, but we are afraid there is a limit to the speed of aircraft. “When you run into the situation where the plane’s speed approaches the velocity of sound, you appear to be stopped.” Brightwood Park Sessions Announced At the church school session in Brightwood Park Methodist Church tomorrow morning Harold E.

Union Leaders Go fo Trial In Trust Suit Wednesday A local labor union and five offi- cials, members of the American Federation of Labor, charged with criminal conspiracy to violate the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by al- legedly tying up building construc- tion in the Capital by violence, strikes and boycotts, will go on trial in District Court next Wednesday. Justice F. Dickinson Letts, who will conduct the trial, set the date yesterday afternoon, after a request by the Government. Attorney Joseph A. Padway, general counsel of the American Federation of La- bor, urged the court to delay the case until the Supreme Court has ruled on the Apex Hosiery Co. case, which he said involves the same issues. Defendants in Wednesday's trial will be . Drivers, Chauffeurs and Helpers’ Local Union No. 639 of the International Brotherhood of Team- sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America; Thomas O'Brien, representative of the orotherhood, and these officials of the local: Stuart M. Keyser, record- ing secretary and business repre- sentative; Charles J. Bell, president and business representative; Lin- wood A. Trainham, secretary-treas- urer and business representative, and Aubrey W. Stream, business representative. The indictments climaxed weeks of trouble in the local building fleld, growing out of the alleged demand of the teamsters for work done by members of the Operating Engi- neers Union, Local No. 77, on mobile concrete mixing: trucks. The engi- neers are also an A. F. of L. affiliate The Government charged that construction work on the Social Se- curity Bullding and the Census Building was delayed by the juris- dictional dispute. The trial here is part of a Nation-wide Department of Justice drive against labor's al- leged violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

Library Gets Carnegie Grant For Musical Recordings A grant of $41520 from the Car- negie Corp, which will enable the Library of Congress to embark on a new field—that of a sound labora- | t; tory for recording and duplicating music for radio and phonographic use and permanent preservation— was announced by Librarian Archi- bald MacLeish. The library’s music division will copy recordings of all kinds. Master recordings will be made which can be pressed and distributed, broad- cast directly from the laboratory or made into radio transcriptions for broadcasts elsewhere. With the purchase of a sound‘ truck and six portable recorders, it | will be possible for the library to record, radio, recorded in the studio. poetry read and interpreted by its authors, unpublished string quarters and other new music of a classical ype. Much of the material, Mr. Mac- Leish pointed out, stands ready for use on the shelves of the Library— recordings of American folk songs. documents basic to the history of | America and the world, musical | manuscripts. ancient and modern But only students who could come to | the Library or those who could af-; ford to have expensive copies made | have been able to use these valuable | | sources, since there was no dupli- | cating equipment. The sound laboratory will not con- | fine itself to American music. Music in the field, on discs m-lrrrom all over the world, history, material which cannot bemlernture art printing and rare | books and science will be described | The music division thus will be ln the phono-duplication service. able to provide schools, libraries | and individuals with American folk music, It is expected the apparatus will records of | require several months to install, It | Americnn is to be in operation by fall.

"Tuning In on God' On Thursday the Board of Dea-| Independent Union Defeats C. I. 0. in Edison Poll Vote Is 16,124 to 9,729, Labor Board Recheck After Protest Shows By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, April 20.—A National Labor Relations Board election among 31500 employes of the Con- solidated Edison system gave collec- tive bargaining representation to an’ independent union over the C.1.0.'s Amalgamated Utility Workers. Mrs. Elinore M. Harrick, regional N. L. R. B. director, announced the vote last night after a dispute which necessitated a 10-day check of voter eligibilities. The totals were 16,124 for the Brotherhood of Consolidated Edison Employes, to 9,729 for the C. 1. O. group. Another 2,930 ballots were cast for neither union. ‘The brotherhood was formed three months” ago from seven lpcals of the A. F. of L’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which withdrew from the A. F. of L. to form the independent organiza- tion. ’ A statement from Harold J. Straub, director of the C. I. O.s Utility Workers’ Organizing Com- mittee, charged that “repeaters” had voted $under the weird election pro- cedure agreed upon, over our pro- fest, by Mrs. Herrick and Consoli- dated Edison.” Several days after the voting on April 4-5, Mr. Straub accused Mrs. Herrick of prejudice in favor of the company and demanded a recheck of voter eligibilities. Mrs. Herrick conducted a recheck which she said showed less than one-half of 1 per cent of possible error. She said this had cost the Government about $2,000, but added that she did not regret this, since 1t “leaves the result open to no valid questioning in the mind of any rea- sonable person.” Whaling Ship Sails ‘ NORFOLK, Va., April 20.—The ‘Norwegian whaler Suderoy. accom- panied by six small killer craft, steamed out of Hampton Roads last | night bound for an unidentified port.
