But before leav ing the 3o-year-old bookkeeper denounced Meyers as a "liar' and a "snake."

C. 0. K.s STOP-GAP RELIEF MEASURE Warns Congrtii Swift Aid Must Be Given France, Austria Italy Washington. Nov. 22 (U.P.) The Senate Foreign Relations Committee solemnly called on Congress today for immediate approval of the $397,000,000 emergency foreign relief bill to avert "political chaos" in France, Italy and Austria.

In a report unusual in its urgency the committee said recent Communist-inspired riots in Italy and the grave Cahinet crisis in France have made it imperative for Congress to act at once on the stopgap aid measure. Stress Turmoil Abroad The current turmoil abroad. the report said, "demonstrates once again that there are forces actively at work which are us ing hunger and cold as a means of creating political disturb ances and confusion." The committee, headed by Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Mich.) warned that unless food, fuel and fertilizers are provided quickly, "The Twin spjecters of hunger and cold at tended by political chaos would threaten western Europe. The committee pleaded also for early action on the four year Marshall Plan for Euro pean reconstruction, which may cost as much as $20,000,000,000.

But it emphasized that a vote for the emergency bill would not obligate members of Con gress to support the controversial long-range plyan as well. Speed Pledged The Senate Republican leadership has pledged an all-out effort to get a final vote on the stop-gap aid bill by Thanksgiving Day. Debate will open on the Senate floor Monday. The House Foreign Affairs Commit tee hoped to send legislation to the floor early next week. In another move to speed American aid, Chairman Charles A.

Eaton of the House committee announced his group would consider granting authority for advance relief spending to the Reconstruction Finance Corpo ration. By such a step U. S. shipments could begin weeks before Congress actually appro priates money for the program. Girl Bank Picket Fined $50 for Kick Selma Remenick, 21.

of 2605 Hubbard was fined $50 or ten days in jail, by Magistrate Pisciotta in Fast New York Court, yesterday when she pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. She was arrested while picket ing during a strike last Summer against the Brooklyn Trust Company by the Financial Workers Guild of the United Office and Professional Work ers, C. I. O. She was given until Monday to obtain the money.

She was alleged to have kicked Earl Ayers, a guard at the Brighton Reach branch of the Brooklyn Trust Company. District Attorney Frank quiry separate from that of the Commission, is seeking to discover v.nether any crime was committed in connection with the fight. LaMotta, never previously knocked out, suffered a technical knockout in the ourth iound at Madison Square Garden under circumstances that made sports writers question the honesty of the fight. Hogan was expected to recall l.aMotta's manager, Al Silvani, for futthor questioning either todav or Mondav. Silvani was quest ioi'ed at length yes terday in llogan's office.

The commission will order day when Aubert and Third ficer Gunvald Gunderson also a Brooklynite, plunged into the icy waters of the mid-Atlantic, braving 30-foot, waves and gale-force wind, to save a Wac sergeant from Chicago who had been swept into sea by the storm. Some trips ago, Mrs. Aubert disclosed this morning, her hus-: band volunteered to man a life-, boat in similar weather to1 transport a badly-hurt seaman from a smaller ship to the Bal-lou which carries its own surgeon. As, reported by the Brooklyn Port of Embarkation yesterday, the Wac, Vivian O'Rourke of Chicago, was on tha shipping deck, at about 8 p.m. when she lost her balance.

Life rings equipped with lights were hurled overboard to help her and the transport slowed down and turned back, not without difficulty, to the area where the accident had occurred. The ship was then about 1,700 miles east of New York. Rescue Taken Two Hours Searchlights played over the water and a lifeboat was launched. Sergeant O'Rourke, fortunately an excellent swim mer with much training in Lake Michigan and the Mediterranean, managed to keep Aubert, a seaman, and Gunderson, who lives at 8fi4 58th jumped into the freezing water and helped her into the dangerously tossing lifeboat. In all, the rescue operations took two hours.

According to hospital attendants. Sergeant O'Rourke showed no ill effects. The Ballou is coming from Leghorn, Italy. Aubert has been in the army transport service for about five years. He toop part in the invasion of Normandy and originally came from Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Canada.

22 (U.P.) Robert Schuman, a Popular Republican leader, considered today an urgent Presidential request to accept the Premiership in the fourth Republic's worst crisis and try to win acceptance of the National Assembly, which had rejected Leon Blum. President Vincent Auriol, try ing desperately to provide the nation with a moderate governmental leader and stop the headlong rush toward a showdown between Communists and De Gaullists, conferred with one political leader after another. Will Give Answer Today Schuman, after a conference with Auriol, said he had been asked to accept the Premiership and try to get a vote of confidence from the Assembly. He said he had not given Auriol his answer but would before the Assembly convenes today. He was Finance Minister in the predominantly Socialist coalition government that resigned Wednesday.

The first two men to see Auriol were Pierre Mendes-France and. former Premier Paul Reynaud, both financial experts. Mendes-France said the "present situation is critical and demands quick decisions." Before he offered Schuman the premiership Auriol tried to get two other men to accept it. Both refused for "reasons of health. They were Andre Marie, radical socialist Minister of Justice in the resigned cabinet and Yvtm Delbos, also a radical and former Minister of State.

Communist-led strikes, which had idled at least 750,000 men in the most vital industries, began to spread rapidly in Paris. Fou rteen thousand school teachers went out yesterday. The Gare de Lyon, which handles Marseille-bound train traf fic, was closed today. The result of a showdown, as both Blum and his predecessor, Paul Ramadier, had warned, might be a bloody civil war. Speculation swept Paris that the Assembly might dissolve itself and call for an immediate election so that the people could decide the issue.

Court Reserves Ruling on Suit To Void U. N. Site Decision had been reserved to-day in the suit of the Rev. Dr. Edward Lodge Curran, president of the International Catholic Truth Society, to force the United Nations to abandon its site in midtown Manhattan.

Supreme Court Justice L. Barron Hill, sitting In Queens Supreme Court, yesterday gave opposing attorneys ten days in which to file briefs. Dismissal of the suit was sought by both the city and the U. which contended that the act of deeding small parcels of public land to round out the $8,500,000 gift of John D. Rockefeller Jr.

to the U. N. was entirely constitutional. Father Curran, pastor of St. Joseph's R.

He was referring to the President's request for measures to encourage the sale of livestock and poultry at weights which would promote the most effective use of grain. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson told Taft's House-Senate Economic Com- imittee that the proposal was tormoi poweis. He said his department had explored the possibility of us ing premium payments or penalty taxes and concluded that they were not feasible. He said he could offer no program, except price control, that would force livestock to market at the desired weight.
