Issue Pamphlet 3 To Document Brownell Charge Senate Committee t Publishes 200-Page Pamphlet In Cases WASHINGTON UP — The senate internal security subcommittee today published a 200-page pamphlet documenting the dispute sparked by Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr.’s charge that former President Truman knowingly promoted- a Communist spy to high federal office. Mr. Truman angrily denied the accusation last November. Brownell. -under pressure, said he did nut suggest that the President had been disloyal. But he. stuck to his charge that the White House had ample warning before Mr. Truman nominated’ the late Harry Dexter White to be U.S. executive director of the international monetary fund. Today’s pamphlet consists of records of the subcommittee hearings bearing on the Truman-Brownell dispute, but going considerably beyond it. Subcommittee chairman William E. Jenner (R-Ind.) said the record now published would show that the Truman administration had ignored repeated FBI exposures of subversive activity by treasury department officials, none of whom was fired. “No less than 28 such reports were made' to key government officials by the FBI on Nathan Gregory Silvermaster before he was allowed to resign In 1946,” Jenner said. Silvermaster had a SIO,OOO job as a war assets administration economist. Jenner said that between November, 1945, and December, 1952, there were 24 such FBI reports on Irving Kaplan, 21 on Jacob Adler, 18 on Harold Glasser. 13 on Frank Coe, 10 on Victor Berio, eight on William Ullman and seven on White. The report also briefly covered the Alger Hiss case. Jenner said White was not necessarily the most important nor the most dangerous of the nine Individuals named in the report made public today. White died just as evidence of his activity was becoming public. Jenner said all the others, except Adler who is not in this country, have refused before authorized investigators to answer questions about their Communist affiliations. They claimed the privilege of the fifth amendment to the constitution which protects a witness against self-incrimination. This report is one of several upon which the Republicans plan to base some of their campaign speeches this year. The charge will be that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were, at the elast, lax in dealing with the Commanoist Infiltration of government.

' fET. - Reports New Small Car Well Received I Production Boost Ordered For Car DETROIT VP — Nash President George W. Mason may have solved the riddle of lyhat Americans want in a amall car. —7— If he has found the right formula with his (Metropolitan, it isn't any accident. He spent five years looking and got suggestions from more than 100,000 persons. The American "small car” was the talk of the industry right after World War 11. But it turned out to be just that — talk. It seems everyone wanted a thousand dollar small car but they wanted it to look and perform like a Cadillac. The Big- Three had small cars all ready to go if the public indicated its desire for such transportation. Those plans still are gathering dust. But tMason, a big man who barely fits into one of his 149-inch Metropolitans, wasn’t content with that decision. Somewhere in the American market, he felt, was room for a well-huilt, economical - small car. He started in 1949 — after the other makers had quit — and came up with an experimental “NX-1.” It was a one-seater Job, with little power and bargain basement finishings. He showed it around the country and asked the public for ideas on how to improve it. Theft Mdsftn drew from European talent, testing

and discarding close to 50 different models. j ••■Each had something but no one had It all,” he said. Finally, he had his own engineers and stylists design a car incorporating all the “good” ideas sifted from the public questionnaire. Then he turned to England for the engine and the actual manufacturer of the cars. The only American built part on the Metropolitan is the sealedbeamed headlight. And the only reason for this intrusion ii* that the .English don’t have such things. The net result is a sports convertible and hardtop that is only 54% inches high. 61% inches wide with an English Austin 42-horse-power engine. Nash claims 40 miles to the gallon at normal highway speeds. It has a “seat and a halt" The front seat will accornodv.ate two grown ups. The back seat is mote for luggage and packages but a couple of small youngsters would be comfortable. The response was gratifying to cigar-chewing Mason, who started up the long ladder to success as a vacuum sweeper salesman. Announcement day was a “sell out,” according to H. €.
