This time r. shotgun blast was fired on crowded Third Street from one moving car into another, with both cars fcoing out of control and striking four other automobiles. But when the smoke had cleared and the commotion had subsided, Albert "Red" Masterson, Newport underworld character, was found in Speers Hospital, Dayton, with his face and neck riddled with buckshot pellets and Ernest "Buck" Brady, widely known police character who once drove the car' of Bootleg King Remus, was telling Newport police that he "ran for dear life, and hid in an outhouse when he hoard shots being fired." Brady is known as a former owner of the Primrose Club on Licking Pike, now being operaW as the Latin Quarter. It all began when Masterson, said to be one of the operators of the Merchants Club, 15 E.

Tidal Wave Adds To Much Damage Done Bv Heaw Tremors Two Are Dead In Dominican Republic Disaster. Cludad Trujillo, Dominican Republic, Aug. 5 (AP) New earth tremors shook this Caribbean republic today in the wake of a severe earthquake and tidal wave on Sun-flay which left a toll of at least two dead and spread devastation in at least 11 towns.

(A Pan American Airways pilot who flew from. Cludad Trujillo said today in Miami that a fresh quake truck the island republic at 8:20 a. Eastern Standard Time, and violently shook the control tower at the city's airport. He said he had been told that two towns on the north coast of the Dominican Republic had been wiped out by the quake and tidal wave on Sunday.) The government rushed aid and rescue parties to the stricken areas, which lie in the valley south of the Monte Christi Range. COMMUNICATIONS ARE CUT, Efforts to reach the towns by telephone and telegraph failed, and there was no available information on how many were injured.

Radio communications were in terrupted bv the tremors and the stricken communities were cut off from the outside world for many hours. EARTH STILL SHIVERING! Additional shocks were recorded yesterday on the Xavier University seismograph following the original shock noted at 12:56 p. m. Sunday, the Rev. Victor C.

Stechschulte, S. director of the university's observatory, reported last night. All were from the West Indies area, but not as severe as the first one Sunday. Following several shocks recorded between 9:40 p. m.

Sunday and 7:38 a. m. yesterday, another slight one was noted at 1:21 p. m. and a more severe one at 3:14 p.

m. Father Stechschulte said the West Indies area was one of the big earthquake areas of the Western Hemisphere and that minor shocks were recorded from there frequently. The one noted Sunday, he said, was the biggest in many years. The earthquake apparently was centered in the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 50 HOMESTEAD AT THE HEIGHT Morrow Rebuked By Court At Jap War Crimes Trials; two hours after it arrived here from Savannah.

S. Grantham, an engineer with the Texas Oil Anti-Inflation Path Mapped By OPA Advisory Board; Faulty In Output, UAW Official Says, In Plea For Mead Quiz. Senators To Learn Friday If May Can Be Witness Before September. Washington, Aug. 5 (INS) The Senate War Profits Investigating Committee was asked today to swing its spotlight on alleged faulty production at two plants of the Curtiss-Wright manufacturer of airplane motors.

The committee disclosed that the request was made by B. J. Thomas, Vice President of the United Auto, mobile Workers, Congress of Indus, trial Organizations, in a letter to Chairman James M. Mead, Demo crat, New York. Thomas was said to have asked the committee to investigate pro duction at the Curtiss-Wright plant at Patterson, N.

and the Wright Aeronautical Corp. plant at Lock-land, near Cincinnati. The UAW office in Washington said that "faulty materials and pro duction" were involved. MEAD TO SEE CLARK. Meanwhile, Mead arranged to confer with Attorney General Torn Clark tomorrow on all matters be fore the Senate Committee.

The Senator said he wanted to eiv Clark a "complete fill-in" on the work of the committee, including information gathered in the Garsson munitions combine case. Mead said that he also expected to receive from Clark a report on the Justice Department's own investigation the Garsson combine and "other matters" in which both the Attorney General and the committee "are interested." Indications developed that the Mead Committee may have to wait weeks before it questions Rep. Andrew J. May, Democrat, Kentucky, about his relations with the Garsson combine. TO WAIT PATIENTLY Commenting on reports that May's Prestonburg, physician had called the House member's I physical condition "the worst in 'years," Mead said he still expects a report Friday from Warren Magee, Washington attorney, on when May will be able to appear.

"We are willing to wait patiently until Mr. May is well enough to testify, but we want to hear his story when he is ready to tell it," the New York Senator said. In Prestonsburg, Dr. John Archer, May's physician, said that the Housj member "is in the worst physical condition in which I have seen him," adding that the patient would have to show a lot of improvement before he would ba allowed to sit up in bed. May reportedly is suffering from a heart ailment and poor circulation.

Committee members who went home last weekend after Congress adjourned have arranged to return September 1, and if May's illness continues it may be after that date before attempts are made to subpoena him again. OTHER TOPICS PROPOSED. At that time the committee may also decide whether to investigate wartime freight charges paid by the armed forces, an inquiry proposed by Sen. Glen H. Taylor, Democrat, Idaho.

Mead said the same consideration will be given to a suggestion by Sen. Styles Bridges, Republican, New Hampshire, that the committee look into the status of loans made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to Henry J. Kaiser, wartime ship builder, if Bridges makes a formal request for such an inquiry. Mead reset for tomorrow a conference he had intended holding today with Joseph D. Nunan Internal Revenue Commissioner.

The committee has asked for a look sons connected with it. Me.1 said he also intends to see Thomas N. McCabe, Foreign Liquidation Commissioner, about disposal of surplus materials in France, Belgium and Italy. The committee has heard, the Chairman has said, that automobiles, trucks, bulldozers and other machinery now scarce in this country have been sold abroad. r- Consumer Headwork Vital Cincinnatian The rape of Nanking was termed "a tale of horror without parallel since the days of Attlla the Hun" by Col Thomas H.

Morrow, Cincinnati judicial figure, before the international war crimes tribunal in Tokyo yesterday, according to an Associated Press dispatch. Colonel Morrow's opening state ment as prosecutor of the 27 de fendants in the China aggression portion of the war crimes trials was received curtiy by Chief Jus tice Sir William Webb, the AP story said. The Chief Justice re marked that the address contained inflammatory statements which tended to antagonize the court. "Perhaps some of such statements are facts," he added, "but it is not intended to prove them in this section of the case. I repeat, we re sent being treated as a jury." Colonel Morrow charged that all 27 defendants were responsible for war crimes committed in China the first direct accusation against all the indicted leaders now on trial.

He stated that the prosecution will prove, "Four major invasions by Japanese armed forces were made upon the territory of China and a naval blockade was imposed upon the coast of China." The Cincinnati attorney told the court that the undeclared war of aggression cost China more than 3,000,000 casualties from 1937 to the outbreak of formal warfare in the Pacific.

This early dispatch quoted Joseph B. Keenan, chief prosecutor of Jap war criminals, as the source of its information on Colonel Morrow's Imminent return. After serving three and a naif years with the Ninth Air Force in Europe, Colonel Morrow accepted a prosecutor's position in the Jap anese war crimes trials last ino vember.

Portions of the trials he dealt with concerned "Japanese propaganda and the Manchurian incident," the early Tokyo Associa ted Press dispatch stated. Colonel Morrow's son, Lt. Thomas B.

Paris, Aug.

6 (Tuesday) (INS) A tumultous triple session of the Peace Conference Procedure Committee broke up early today In an angry word-exchange marked by a hot British denial ot a Soviet charge that an Anglo-American bloc seeks to dominate the parley. The committee adjourned in complete frustration at 12:15 a. m. without reaching any agreement on the issue of whether the conference should be ruled by a two-thirds vote, as recommended by the Big Four, or a simple majority vote as demanded by the small nations. V.

M. Molotov, Soviet Foreign Minister, lashed out against both James F. Byrnes, Secretary of State, and the British, and asserted that the Anglo-Americans could amass 12 to 13 votes out of the total of 21 if a simple majority prevailed. He took Eyrnes to task for al leged "inconsistency, pointing out that the American agreed at the last Big Four meeting to the two-thirds vote recommendation but at the start of the peace conference seemed to favor a simple majority rule. VEXED AT BRITISH.

Molotov -as vexed at the British for offering a voting amendment under which the Big Four would be required to give serious considera tion to any treaty change recommended by a two-thirds vote and also to discuss, at least, anything receiving a favorable simple wa1 jority. Hector McNeil, British Minister of State, replied with sarcasm to the Molotov charge that an Anglo- American bloc could amass any 13-vote support. McNeil said if he could he would be happy, but pointed out that throughout the committee sessions he "got kicked around" such na-! tions in the British orbit as the Union of South Africa and New Zealand. At the end of his statement, Molotov suggested that countries which voted for any treaty change that did not receive a two-thirds vote might refer the question to the Big Four. Before Molotov spoke, Byrnes told the Rules Committee that he would support In the Big Four Foreign Ministerial Council any suggested treaty change that the conference approved by a two-thirds vote.

TO BACK BRITISH PLAN. Byrnes also said he would vote for a British proposal that any question could be referred to the Council by the conference as a whole on the basis of a simple majority vote. The argument was a throwback to the formative days of the United Nations, at San Francisco, ana the fight there over the power or the big five nations to veto any Security Council decision. It was a Tireview also of the fight to come this fall at the annual general UN oaeomhlv.

Hence In a way all the argument is academic because if the United States, Great Britain, itussia auu France agree, they will be the final t-H1 arm However, in the conference, the small nations are fighting to iorce the big four to consider all treaty changes recommended by a simple majority.

Most of the injured received minor hurts, six requiring hospital treatment. Four hours after the blaze eight of the 54 crewmen were unaccounted for.

Ship's officers said that part of the crew had gone ashore soon after the vessel was docked today, hampering efforts to determine whether any were lost. Witnesses said that lightning struck the 550-foot ship less than PRICE CEILINGS Raised By 0PA, Six To Eight Per Cent On Cotton Clothing. Sheets Go Up 17 Per Cent Shirts, Shorts, Pajamas Jump Twice In Week. Washington, Aug. 5 (AP) Cotton clothing prices are going up 6 to 8 per cent, the Office of Price Administration announced today, and bed sheets and other household linens soon will cost about 17 per cent more.

The reason, the agency said, is an average 16 per cent increase in cot ton textile ceilings required under the new price control law. The higher ceilings on fabrics, ordered into effect immediately, should add $500,000,000 a year to the industry's returns, OPA esti mated. Meanwhile, the agency: (1) Removed price controls on 52 miscellaneous items, many of them imported food specialties and none "significantly affecting the cost of living." (2) Authorized a retail increase of approximately $4.50 in ceilings for sofa beds and studio coucnes. OPA officials predicted that the public will begin paying more for clothing and other cotton items in four to eierht weeks. On shirts, shorts and pajamas the increases will be on top of price hikes of 11 to 21 per cent authorized last week under the old price control law.

The new law requires OPA to base textile ceilings on the market price of raw cotton, rather than on the currently lower parity price. It also requires that ceilings be based on 1939-41 prices, which were higher than the 1936-39 prices used heretofore. OPA said that in computing the new textile ceilings it used the June 23 to July 22 average price of October cotton futures 32.78 cents a pound. Under the old law the base since March 8 had been 25.75 cents a pound. Blow Kills Man, 60; Insulted Four Girls, States Assailant, 32 A man identified by papers found on his person as John D.

OF THE FIRE whose offices adjoin the Standard docks. Unloading of the Homestead's cargo had been started about an hour before the bolt hit.

Flames spurted in several spots and then began to race through the vessel. Between 25 and 30 crewmen jumped into the river and were picked up by patrol craft and row-boats. The Homestead was a comparatively new tanker and was built at a cost of $3,000,000. It was operated by the War Shipping Administration and left Houston, July 29 with 129,000 barrels of gasoline. It discharged the bulk of its load at Savannah.

The committee member said also that the committee had in mind the new Price Decontrol Board, as well as OPA and the Agricultural Department, in recommending a strong stand against premature removal of ceilings. The new board is authorized to decide whether controls should be restored after August 20 on meats, dairy products, grains, eggs, poultry and other items. The reason for the boost in prices of garments and household articles, OPA said, is the average of 16 per cent increase in cotton textile ceilings required under the new price control law. ANNAM1TES Kill 12, Grab Pay Roll And Wound 41 In Clash With French When Truck Convoy Is Ambushed By Natives. Hanoi, Indo-China, Aug.

5 (AP) French soldiers were killed and 41 wounded in a fierce nine-hour battle yesterday between French troops and Annamite forces at Bac Ninh, a village 19 miles northwest of Hanoi, a French com munique announced today. No figures were available on Annamite losses, but they were believed to be heavy. The battle, one of the costliest since the French leplaced the Chinese as occupation troops in Northern Indo-China, was started with the ambushing of a French convoy in the deserted streets of the village. The Annamites used machine guns, grenades and mortars and succeeded in capturing several French trucks, including one with a pay roll of $140,000 for the French garrison at Langson, destination of the convoy. The Annamites head the so-called Viet Nam Republican which is seeking freedom from French colonial control in negoti ations with the French.

5 (AP) The Office of Price Administration's Consumer Advisory Committee today issued a five-point anti-inflation, program, calling for a "strong stand" against "premature" removal of price ceilings on basic commodities, particularly food items. The. Advisory Committee said that, despite '-several major in adequacies" of the new price con trol law, "we believe the act can fstill serve to check inflation wisely administered and if buttressed by intelligent consumer action." The committee said this "minimum program" was necessary to make the act work: "(1) A strong stand on the part of the government administrative agencies involved against premature decontrol of all basic commodities, with immediate emphasis on foodstuffs. "(2) Immediate adoption of administrative policies and procedures which will guarantee that commodities will be recontrolled when prices give evidence of the coming inflationary. "(3) Strengthened enforcement by OPA of all price ceilings.

"(4) Assumption by the President of the important responsibility for coordinating the anti-inflation fight, a responsibility clearly implied in the new legislation. We recommend that the President take immediate steps to set up advisory committees to represent the consumer view in all agencies charged with administering the present act. (This presumably was an appeal for establishment of consumer committees by the Department of Agricul ture and the Office of war Mob ilization and Reconversion, since OPA already has such a commit tee.) "(5) As an indispensable part of the foundation for effective gov ernment action in controlling infla tion, the establishment on the part of consumers of a strong consumer organization on a local, state and national basis."

Another person was killed in San Francisco De Macoris, where almost 35 homes were destroyed and many other homes and buildings were damaged severely. Unconfirmed reports from Molina said that the sea lashed out far beyond the normal low tide point, and then rushed back, carrying a number of launches and other craft to shore. No lives were lost. In this oldest capital in the West ern Hemisphere, now celebrating the 450th anniversary of its founding by the brother of Christopher Columbus, only slight damage was caused by the earthquake to old churches and to the docks No casualties were reported. (Slight tremors were felt in Cuba, and the Virgin Islands reported a mild shock.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, there was slight damage from tide fluctuations, and the Weather Bureau there said that a major shock was felt at Trinidad.) Extensive damage was reported from the high waves borne by the quake, but no definite reports were available, nor was there any estimate as yet on the number of persons injured.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug.

5 (AP) Powerless to do more than warn the State Department of Health today expressed fear that 1946 may be another epidemic year oi in fantile paralysis, perhaps the most costly in Ohio history. "There are no control measures to take at the present stage of our knowledge," Dr. Roger Heer- inir. State Health Director, admitted as he emphasized that Ohio was in "an epidemic year" of the dread disease "unless there is a sharp drop within the next 10 days." Parents should keep their children away from crowds, make sure they get plenty of rest and not let them overexercise, ur. iieermg said.

Th official total of infantile paralysis cases for Ohio stands at 158. with four more cases reported today in Cuyahoga County. Dr. Heering pointed out that the total this year thus far had followed the pattern of 1944 when a polio record of 1,172 cases was set.
