Detroit, June 23 (U.R Negro workers returned to factories and boosted lagging war production to near-normalcy today as Federal nd State troops and city police patrolled streets in the wake of Detroit's turbulent race riots. Tension diminished considerably In the Negro district as Gov. Harry F. Kelly abolished two of six restrictions Included in his state of emergency order issued Monday during rioting which left 29 persons 25 of them Negroes dead and more than 700 injured. Kelly said after a conference with State police and military officials today that other restrictions may be lifted tomorrow, "if we get through today without Incident." He added, however, that the 10 p.m.

In addition, 2,700 State Home Guard troops are here and another 2.600 have been alerted In event of further trouble. Additional arrests were reported early today, boosting the total to more than 1 300. Thirty-four Negroes were given 90-day jail sentences yesterday and 15 others. Including the first five white defendants, received similar sentences today. A brighter production picture was reported by all major automotive concerns, which yesterday said Negro absenteeism ranged as high as 75 percent.

Kelly, describing the 1.300 arrests made since the outbreak of fighting, said "at least 75 percent of the trouble" was caused by boys 15 to 21 and that three-fourths of all persons arrested are under 21. Troopers at Ball Park Although Kelly announced that baseball and horse racing would be permitted today, he ordered dispatch of 350-man State troop contingents both to the Detroit Falr-prounds track and to Briggs Stadium, where the Tigers meet Cleveland in a doubleheader. Both a ball game and the race meet were called off yesterday. White and Negro leaders attributed the riots to fifth-column activities and the Ku Klux Klan. Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the Klan and "Nazi money" circulating here had "something to do with inciting the riots," and ex pressed apprehension over what may happen when the soldiers leave.

Admiral Kelly Hails Naval Reservists Continued from Page 1 there were a number of transports, combatant vessels, cargo vessels, Carrier and numerous destroyers. "Throughout this command the officers on these vessels were for the most part reserve officers. Manning many of the small landing craft which landed the troops in darkness through the waves on shore were reserve officers similar to you. For the valor and intre-pedity of these reserve officers I have heard nothing but the highest praise. "No matter where jou go for duty, whether it is in a PT boat or a large combatant ship or in a shore station, I can assure you that j-ou will receive a warm and enthusiastic welcome and will be given duties commensurate with your capabilities and knowledge.

The miners were instructed to work until Oct. 31 under the direction of Solid Fuels Administrator Harold L. Ickes, custodian of the mines since they were seized by the Government May 1.

Arthur V. McDer-mott, city selective service director.

The request for appointment, said to have been marie by Katz himself, also was cleared by Mayor LaGuardia. records show. Katz Is charged at present with having provided a means of draft deferment for John J. Mango, 24, of 1223 Elm who also has been arrested on a charge of stealing right record folders, including his own, from the draft board office. It was Mango's to FBI men that he paid Katz $fi5 to obtain the determent that led to Katz' arrest.

One is Francis J. Nicosia of 66 Court who specialized in ncali-cenre cases and got, into trouble whm he acquired in a bar and grill. Evidence before Official Referee Fabcr charged he induced his secretary to put a firti-tious date on an agreement she notarized. Then he drew a series of agreements and applied for a license for a new corporation he formed. The object, of all tills, the court was told, was to conceal from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board the fact that he was a partner in the enterprise because he had failed to notify he board of the altered setup of the ownership within ten days, as required by law.

'Ignorant of Law' Nicosia claimed he was ignorant of the ABC law, He first insisted the date on the agreement was accurate and then admitted it was not the correct date. "But that does not alter his moral obliquity," Referee Fabcr told the Appellate Division. Nicosia, 48, was admitted to the bar, Oct. 24, 1924. In 1928 he was Republican candidate for Congress from the 3d District.

According to Tierney the Ship Building Commission of the WLB declared the refusal to sign a contract "a willful and flagrant violation of the commission's order" and demanded immediate compliance. Meanwhile, Moran Is believed to be somewhere between Pittsburgh, Washington and Brooklyn.

Neither Moran nor Frank 13. Devlin of the New York and New Jersey Dry Dock Association, who represented the iron works in the neeotiations could be reached. It was said at the offices of th company that all the officials were out of town. a CATTLE MEM URGE SCRAPPING OF SUBSIDY PLAN Also Ask End of Curbs On Meat Quotas as Way to Aid Distributing Abandonment of the subsidy plan and lifting by the Government of restrictions on meat quotas were advanced by two representatives of the cattle Industry as a way to restore normal distribution of beef. At an interview at the Hoiel Ambassador, Manhattan, yesterday, they also stressed the surplus of beef on the hoof.

Joe G. Montague, counsel of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said, in speaking of the expected year-end surplus of 15.400.000 head of cattle, that If one-half of the surplus were slaughtered, there would be enough to supply the armed forces, the civilian population and our Allies, a total of 200.000.000 people. Robert J. Kleberg president and manager of the world-famous King Ranch in Texas, said that everything the Government has done to regulate meat production has been restrictive and no plans have been advanced to "aid production or distribution." Packing Industry Plan I'rged Mr. Montague urged adoption of a plan of the packing industry formulated at a meeting in Chicago on April 2 and 3.

"The plan," he said, "calls for recognition of the fundamental law of supply and demand. The supply is known, or at least easily determinable, by observation of the slaughter records. The demand has three factors, the armed forces' needs, the civilian npeds and the lend-lease requirements. All other factors must yield to the proper necessity to meet the reasonable requirements of the armed forces. "The civilian needs are controlled by rationing, with the point value being fixed but not invariable.

The lend-lease demands would be very flexible, being co-ordinated with the actual slaughtering; that is any surplus above requirements for the armed forces and lend-lease would be absorbed by adjustment of civilian ration points." He said that plan had been ap proved by the OPA and by Chester Davis, war food administrator, but that "the roll back and subsidy plan has been hung on the neck of the plan and it is seriously feared that such an Impediment may cause the failure of it." Report on Vegetables In Albany, a report issued by Dr. R. L. Gillett, Federal-State statistician attached to the State Department of Agriculture, said that vegetable growers were behind schedule due to an acute labor shortage and bad weather. Long Island appeared to be the mast favored producing area, Dr.

Gillett said, even to the extent of forcing the dumping of spinach for lack of a market. Green peas are being marketed from the island, and a heavy sale of early cabbage Is expected around July 1 to 15. A serious food shortage in Australia, was predicted yesterday by Albert Badman, member of the Australian House of Representatives, who arrived here from London. He said the shortages in his country were comparable to those in America and that both were due to the induction of agriculture labor into the armed forces.

patron, without permission and killed a pedestrian, The evidence brought by the bar association before Official Referee Do'ld was that Kaplan induced Mrs. diLeo to sign a lalse siate-j ment that she had allowed Brock to use her car, that he made one appearance as her attorney and then appeared as attorney for Brock and cross-examined Mrs. diLeo and offered her signed statement in evidence.

The aviation correspondent of the Daily Herald said the "Battle gin in about two weeks, the Brook-lyn Eagle learned today that following a broad search into the official acts of Commissioner of Investigation William B.

Herlands, the Councilmen will focus their attention on the city's street cleaning forces. The investigating committee also will delve into the use of city trucks and equipment to transport employes of the sanitation department and materials to Sanita Hills. However, Mayor LaGuardia recently said that he saw no impropriety in the assignment of sanitation department employes to work on the improvement of Sanita Hills. The property, the Mayor declared, is owned by the city and the department's welfare honor relief fund would reimburse the city for labor and equipment used on the job. Experts Records Councilman Walter R.

Hart, Brooklyn Democrat, who Is chairman of the investigating group, told reporters he does not, anticipate any difficulty in obtaining Commissioner Carey's records, adding that an understanding also has been reached with Commissioner Herlands. The Board of Estimate, at its meeting tomorrow, will consider a lesolution requiring the Welfare Fund of the Department of Sanitation to pay to the city $112,433 for the use of labor, materials, supplies and equipment at Sanita Hills. The resolution, offered by Mayor LaGuardia and Controller McGold-rick, Is an approval of a supplementary agreement between the city and the fund providing for payment to the city for work done on the White Wings' vacation spot. The committee held its first meeting, since it was voted Into power by the Council a week ago. behind closed doors yesterday.

And despite reports that all was harmonious among the probers, signs of friction still existed as they emerged from the session. Hart told reporters that Councilman Joseph T. Sharkey was only an ex-officio member of the committee and had no right to speak for the group. Hart declared that lt was not within Sharkey's jurisdiction to ask the Mayor for clerical help for the committee. It also was learned that yesterday's closed meetings dwelt on quarters to conduct private hearings as well as procedure and witnesses to be examined, Adopt Press Rule Among the rules adopted was one forbidding any member of the committee from making a statement to the press on any phase of the investigation before' it had been discussed at a public hearing.

Another provided for the creation of subcommittees to hold private hearings. Mr. Hart said several such hearings have already been held with good results. He said there would be no further news from the committee until July 6. when he returns from a vacation to New London, Conn.

The also voted its chairman authorization to select quarters and to employ whatever assistants and clerical help he may deem necessary. In anticipation of the Council meeting at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow to fix the tax rate, the Finance Committee yesterday questioned Con-troller McGoldrick as to how arrived at the final determination of the amount of the budget. His right to eliminate $92,000 in budget cuts was sharply challenged by Leo V. McDermott, former budget director, present at the hearing as a rep-, resentative of the Commerce and Industry Association.

Instead of denying the rharce, Mr. MrOoldrirk stated he had omitted $112,000 in budget cuts marie by the Council, contending they were effected illegally by modifying lines. He contended that the Council could override the Mayor's veto only by restoring or striking out an entire line item. Walker Holds Reds Saved U. S.

Without Paralel Republican veterans said the election of a District Attorney in Brooklyn on the tickets of the two traditionally rival political parties was without parallel In Brooklyn's political history. District Attorney Frank S. Hogan, an independent Democrat, received the Tanimany-Republican-Ameri-can Labor party-Fusion and United City party indorsements in Manhattan in the 1941 campaign after having served as one of the chief assistants to Governor Dewey dur ing the latter's racket-busting service as District Attorney. O'Dwyer, originally elected District Attorney on the Democratic ticket in 1939, recently received the American Labor party's indorse ment on non-partisan grounds.

The American Labor party leaders voted their indorsement in a surprise move without having consulted Mayor LaGuardia, the party's No. 1 New York City member. The Mayor, the Republicans and the Laborites opposed O'Dwyer's election in 1939 when, while serving as a county Judge, he was nominated for prosecutor by the Democrats to institute reforms in the Kings County District Attorney's office. After serving less than two years of his term as prosecutor O'Dwyer became the Democratic party's nominee for Mayor against La Guardia in the 1941 city campaign when the Mayor was re-elected for his third term. Republican Reaction One of the contentions advanced in Republican circles for O'Dwyer's indorsement for a new term in the District Attorney's office was that his re-election was assured, anyhow, because of his indorsement by the Democrats and American Labor party and that formal opposition would be politically fruitless.

Another wing In the Republican party has taken the position, however, that today's indorsement might return to haunt the Republicans If O'Dwyer again becomes 'he Democratic party's candidate for Mayor in 1945 campaign or next year if Mayor LaGuardia resigns under appointment for foreign service for which he has been mon-tioiwd frwruently. police she killed him in an argu ment after he had sought to prevent her from seeing his wife.
