While neither Director liciieral l!in"s, nor the labor leaders would make a pub ia .statcim rt concerning the day's negotiations, it was understood that 'he argument thus far had tailed to crystalline into a definite prosram.

It was not believed that the con ference woultid result in a solution of the whole wa.ee problem.

N'ot the least of their troubles was viie cloture which was invoked to cioke off debate just before the ratification vote and w hich ice President Marshall ;s expected to hold must come back alontr with thf treatv. The leaders want some sort of cloture, but they do not want so stringent a rule, under which "anv senator.; already have t h.rtsted their full rpiota of time. The method apparently most in favor for avoiding this difti:u!ty is o recommit the treaty to "he for eiiT'i relations committee, a move which parliamentary experts say woitbl .lutomatically rid it of its cloture restriction. If that is done it probably will be qualified by a stipulation that a report is to be re ctirned mimediafly.

Packed away in the bulky docu ment, examined only casually today by the committee. Col. Wagner re lated what be alleged to be the story of Muscle Shoals, built on the cost-; plus plan with wartime speed as the only consideration. I.ig items were put down with little items, running all the way from the charge that the accounting system was so bad no; business, however efficient, "couhl tolerate it and exist" to the story of the head barber in a company shop, ! who raked down S5 a day extra for changing five times that much money (lowing into a cash register. With the bold accusation that even in a national emergency pa iriotism at Muscle Shoals was for gotten. Colonel Wagner told how he had protested again-t paying .550 ,or a portrait of Fr.mkS. Washburn of Xew York, president of the Amer ican Cyanide company, the sub sidiary of which, the Air Nitrates corporation, bad the government contract for the actual building. Greatest Item, Extravagance. The biggest chapter was written under the- caption of "extravagance," with waste, inefficiency and irregu larities placed next in that order in the wholesale indictment that in cluded hundreds ot names. Touching on the broad ijnestion of extravagance, Colonel Wagner . declared the Air Nitrates corpora tion maintained a publiciiv bureau at the plant that cost '? .1.000 a ' month. 'The only conceivable reason for a private enterprise advertising a ; government-owned project," the re port declared, "is the expertation of coming in possession of the prop - erty, and having already thoroughly developed it, being in posiii&u to market its securities."
