Truman Wants Nixon Fund Checked WASHINGTON (UP)—The White House said today President Truman personally asked Attorney General McGranery to look into the acceptance by Richard M. Nixon, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, of $18,000 in senatorial expense contributions. Truman himself has declined to comment on the political uproar created by disclosure of the raising of such a fund for Nixon. The department of justice was reported earlier today to have begun a study of the whole question on the legality of supplemental funds received by public officials. Truman Asks Later, the White House press section said Truman had asked McGranery to "look into the matter." The request, it was reported, occurred after the cabinet meeting last Friday. The justice department study was obviously prompted by the Nixon furore, although the department does not say so. OTHER BALLOT BOX—Participants in The Gazette’s buy in Anaheim” campaign can get ballots with their purchase at Jackson’s Drug store. Earl Jackson, above, proprietor of the store, gives prominent display to the box where ballots are cast. VIOLENCE Flares in Aircraft Strike Market Lines as Convoy Makes Plant IN ANGELES (UP)—Violence at the El Segundo plant of Douglas Aircraft company took a striking union member to block gates. Barricade of cars parked near bumper and abandoned broken by steel helmeted deputies who made room near-way traffic. Convoy line-car convoy of 21 men proceeded into the plant. Non-striker, identified as E. Krenenberg, 28, of Santa Clara, was booked on suspicionault with a deadly weapon automobile. Deputy Sheriff Barnes said the man’s car dragged him 100 feet when he tried to slow it down going into the plant. Pickets scattered during the incident. Still Strikebound Both the Douglas plant and the larger Lockheed establishment at Burbank remained strikebound. Negotiations between the companies and the AFL International Association of Machinists have broken down completely. There were no immediate plans to resume peace talks. The union said an announced back to work movement at El Segundo met with but little success yesterday. A group calling itself the Committee for Union Democracy sponsored the move. E. Roy Blow, president of the IAM Local, claimed it was company-sponsored. Union Differs The company claimed 600 to 700 more workers showed up yesterday than last week. Blow said he doubted if as many as 100 more showed up. The plant normally has 15,000 employees. In Washington, meanwhile, the Navy disclosed that Secretary Kimball had appealed to Blow on Sunday to send the strikers back to their jobs as “soon as possible.” Kimball’s message to Blow said that“We urgently need the air-tal funds received by public officials. Truman Asks Later, the White House press section said Truman had asked McGranery to “look into the matter.” The request, it was reported, occurred after the cabinet meeting last Friday. The justice department study was obviously prompted by the Nixon furore, although the department does not say so. However, the situation appears to shape up like this: General Examination No investigation of the Nixon fund, as such, is being made. But justice department aides have begun a general examination of the statutes relating to expense accounts or other supplemental funds received by officials to determine just how far public officials might go in this field without transgressing the U.S. criminal code. The public discussion on the Nixon fund has brought public statements from other members of congress concerning the practice of supplementing congressional salaries and allowances from sources other than the government. Some said it was necessary for non-wealthy members of the house and senate to obtain outside income by practicing law, making speeches for a fee, or putting members of their families to work in their offices here.

The convention voted to leave next year's convention site to the executive committee. St. Louis and Miami, Fla., had been suggested. Mention of these two cities toched off an attack by A. Philip Randolph, Negro president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Randolph said Miami was "notoriously guilty of a low, reprehensible form of discrimination against people because of color or race." He said he opposed the selection of St. Louis as a convention site because "I have not heard that St. Louis has changed its policy so far as giving citizens of color accommodations in hotels." New Economic Deal Seen for Chinese MOSCOW (UP)—Sweeping new economic arrangements between Soviet Russia and Communist China appeared likely today in the wake of Chinese Premier Chou En-lai's departure for home after Kremlin talks with Prime Minister Stalin. Chou flew off to Peiping yesterday but left behind eight members of the delegation that accompanied him here for the conversations—including several of his top men in the economic field. These could be remaining behind to iron out such details as delivery dates and perhaps credit agreements on any new trade pact. Speaking to a farewell crowd at the airport, Chou declared that during his delegation's stay in Moscow "we successfully completed talks concerning important political and economic questions between China and the USSR."
