Marvin Rubin, of East Williston. N. Y., was threatened with perjury action Wednesday when he denied making “payoffs” ranging from SI,OOO in cash to a deep freeze to lingerie and a woman's coat. The threat came from chairman John L. McClellan (D Ark.), of the senate investigations sub committee, which is looking into ‘'charges of graft and corruption" in military uniform »procurement. Rabin made his' denial despit* the testimony of two witnesses who said they knew of payoffs by him and despite the admission of a navy employe that he got SSO a week from Rubin for three months in 1952. Julius Goldman, of Trenton. N. J., testified that he received the money from Rubin while working at the navy’s Brooklyn depot inspecting raincoats made by Ansonia Garments, one of the firms which hired Rubin. Rubin swore that he only “leaned" about S2OO to Goldman after the S6O a week inspector pleaded he needed money and appealed for a job with Ansonia but was turned down. Goldman insisted that Rubin offered him the job and kept him thinking for months that he would get it. all the while giving him SSO almost every Friday for three months, and not as a loan. Goldman was backed up by Mrs. Ruth E. Piccoult, who said the navy worker was known to her as “Mr. Samuels" when he paid weekly visits to Rubin at the offices of Bonita Originals, a New York firin for which Rubin also worked. Mrs. Picoult. Bonita’s bookkeeper in 1952-53, also said that the firm paid for a “deep freeze” and lingerie while Rubin was with it although she did not know to whom they went.

Hort, a military contracting officer in New York, a "new coat at Christmas 11 several- years ago. — Mrs. PicoulCs predecessor at Bonita, Melvin Carlin, of Scars dale, N. ¥., testified that SI,OOO was handed over to Rubin in 1952 for “government employes" who helped the firm get a contract for a million garrison caps.

Dulles Is Chided By Senator George ’ Some Evidence Os Strained Relations WASHINGTON (INS) — Some strain was evident today in relations between the Eisenhower administration and chairman Walter F. George (D-Ga.) of the senate foreign relations committee. It is not of serious proportions and no one expects it to result in an open break. But the fact is that George chided secretary of state John Foster Dulles Tuesday night for being “overtimid" in his approach toward the forthcoming Big Four meeting. And Sen. Mike Mansfield (DMont.) a member of George’s committee, complained that Dulles has failed to give George the credit Mansfield said he deserves for his contribution to the success of U. S. foreign policy. On the other hand, the administration is reported to be disturbed because George shrugged off last week’s Pentagon. announcement that’<Russia has made unexpectedly great strides in the development of its air power. The Georgia Demcrat said it might just be an attempt by the air foree to get more money out of congress. Some- administration officials also seem to think that George is over-sold on the possible benefits of the Big Four chiefs of government meeting. These officials say George’s viewpoint is the traditional American attitude toward bargaining of any kind, hut they add that the ordinary rules of bargaining do hot apply to Soviet Communists.
