SUNDAY, AUG. 24, 1052 Washington Calling—

‘Chelf Committee

died

Due to Blow Lid Off In Capital Clean-Up

By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23—Watch for sensational developments on the “clean-up” front.

ONE: Chelf Committee

(investigating Justice

Department) will hear testimony involving Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark when it holds public hearings next week. Also due for attention: Theron Lamar Caudle, former Assistant Attorney General, brought into depart-

ment by Clark.

They'll be named in a fraud case which died of neglect while Clark was Attorney General antl Caudle Chelf Committee has found notations on case papers which trace it directly to

was one of his top aids.

Clark's desk.

Case was shuffled back and forth in Justice Department until statute of limitations ran out—and government was forced to return money paid it by persons involved. Chelf Committee wants to know why. ~ Committee may call Caudle as witness. It's unlikely

to summon Justice Clark, When Clark's name came into Internal Revenue probe, Chairman Cecil R. King said he'd *invite” Justice to appear— but never sent invitation. Clark didn’t volunteer. TWO: Chelf Committee will. reopen old RFC investigation. It will ask about apparent laxity and corruption in payment of wartime subsidies to wholesale butchers. RFC was the paying bureau. - Complaints charged that gome butchers submitted inflated figures on squeeze between retail meat prices and cost of live animals to collect higher subsidies. Claims were paid, even after RFC investigators said they were fraudulent. Investigators now have evidence indicating collaboration inside RFC in falsifying reports. N THREE: Scandal in Commerce Department will be aired. It involves granting of TA-reduction certificates to defense industries—and a man who has been fired already. Story is that official offered speedy, favorable action on a company’s request for tax certificate—in return for fee. Investigation turned up another company with same story. Case has been referred to Justice Department. : FOUR: Justice Department, buzzing with its own clean-up, has uncovered new information on RFC dealings involving Rep. Frank Boykin (D. Ala.).

Named in 2 Cases BOYKIN WAS named in two cases investigated by Fulbright Committee. In one, an RFC borrower charged he was forced to take Boykin relatives into his company to get RFC loan. (Case was outlawed by statute of limitations). Another; involving loan and contract to cut timber on Boykin land, resulted in indictment of lumberman and two bank officials. Now Justice Department says Boykin relationship with RFC is “alive” again. It hasn't told even RFC about new material uncovered. Note: Chelf Committee and Justice Department now are working in. complete accord. New faces in department are credited to Chairman Frank L. Chelf and committee's former chief counsel, Stephen A. Mitchell, who’s now Democratfc National Chairman. Also, Attorney General McGranery has clipped wings of Assistant Attorney General Joseph Duggan, once designated by J. Howard McGrath as liaison between department and committee (turned out tobe a roadblock instead of liaison). President Truman has been offered some 200 jobs by companies anxious to sign him up when he leaves White House. Truman’s not. talking about any of them—even to his staff. But it's reported one offer is £250,000 a year for weekly television show. Another report, that he's signed up to do a daily syndicated newspaper column, is denied by White House spokesmen. Offers are said to include nation-wide lecture tour, weekly column, other radio and TV program appearances, contributing editorship of national magazine.

Gets New Offer

‘ANOTHER MAGAZINE has offered to finance any trip President wants to make—in return for anything he wants to write about it. There are new _ offers House mail. + Note: Mr. Truman gets no pension when he leaves office. Law providing pensions for Congressmen was not adopted till after he left Senate. Also, it doesn’t apply to elective offices in executive branch.

President will be on his own '

when he steps out. Secret Service does not guard exPresidents. Government doesn’t even provide them the aides given retired five-star generals. Don’t down-rate that meetfng between China’s Chou Enlai and Stalin, in Moscow. It may be more important to United States than October Communist Congress. Top authorities say ChineseRussian meeting may result in important decisions in Korea, Japan, Burma, Indo-China. It may not mean expansion of

/- military action. It ‘could even

mean armistice in Korea.’ _ Other possibilities: New line for Communist parties in all Far Eastern areas; repatriation of thousands of Japanese prisoners still held by Russia, now probably trained as Communists.

Russ Meetings Secret FACT IS, no one here knows what Moscow meetings mean. Note: Japanese are

all Wry satisfaction out of f ure

in every ‘White

of Western intelligence agencies to forecast meeting, or guess on meaning. They're implying they should be given a chance to get back in intelligence business. Fact is that, although they picked up many Chinese secrets when they held Formosa, they based prewar diplomacy on wrong intelligence reports that Moscow was

going to stick with Axis pact.

Local housing authorities may soon find government investigations taking a look at their books and operations. Rep. Albert Thomas (D. Tex.), who heads appropriations subcommittee handling funds for housing agencies, may send investigators out to check. Reason is that in Thomas’ home town of Houston, executive director of local agency has been indicted on 17 embezzlement counts.

Important congressional pri- |

maries coming up: In Mississippi next week, battle is between Rep. John Rankin, white supremacy man, and Rep. Tom Abernethy, thrown aganist each other by congressional redistricting. Reports give Abernethy edge. Week following, Alan Bible, Sen. Pat McCarran's law partner, bids for Nevada senatorial nomination against young outsider, Tom Mechling. Winner will go against incumbent Sen. George Malone (R.).

Other Contests Listed

ON SEPT. 9, these contests: In Utah, Sen. Arthur Watkins and ex-Federal Reserve Board Chairman Marriner Eccles battle for GOP Senate nomination. Watkins, with organization backing, seems ahead. In Arizona, Barry Goldwater, seems likely to get GOP nod to oppose Majority Leader Ernest McFarland. . In Minnesota, Sen. Ed Thye has four against him for top Senatorial nomination, but expects to come through. In Wisconsin, it’s Sen. Joe McCarthy vs. Leonard Schmitt for the GOP nomination; Tom Fairchild and Henry Reuss for Democratic. Note: Schmitt supporters are conducting intensive, nationwide postcard campaign. They're telling residents of other states that while they can't vote in Wisconsin, they can help defeat McCarthy by contributing to “Dollars for Decency.” Gen. Eisenhower will have trial run on handling what is called “McCarthyism” when he appears on same platform with Sen. William E. Jenner in Indianapolis Sept. 9. Jenner pioneered in attacks on Eisenhower's old Army boss, Gen. George C. Marshall. And he's making his campaign for re-election on his usual isolationist line. Jenner held all but two Indiana delegates in line for Taft all the way at

Chicago. Jenner's slated to speak, but not to introduce Eisenhower.

Asks Aid of Taft

FRIENDS OF Taft say Eisenhower’'s asked Ohio Senator to help in campaign. Most ef-

fective aid Taft could give,

right now, would be to help heal wounds created among Ohio Republicans at Chicago convention. They're still festering, despite strong measures by GOP Chairman Arthur Summerfield. Eisenhower strategists now think it will take

Ohio campaign speeches by Taft to do the job. Meanwhile, Taft's still in

Quebec woods, fishing. He'll return to Washington Sept. 7, to attend son’s wedding, will confer with Eis¢hhower managers then. Republican campaign headquarters is scattered over second and fourth floors of Washington Hotel here. On second floor, there are big pictures of Sen. Richard M. Nixon, candidate for Vice President, none of "Eisenhower. On the fourth floor there are large pictures of Eisenhower, none of Nixon. None of hired hands can explain.

When You Take a Header in Capital Swim

By ANDREW TULLY Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 —What you need most of all to be a success socially in the nation’s capital these days is the digestion &f a goat. And, even so, the average goat would return with relief to his regular diet of tin cans after sampling some of the exotic food our leading freeloaders have gobbled recently. Entertaining has reached a veritable fever pitch around here. One day you're eatifig Rice Under a Veil. with King Faisal of Iraq, the next you're sharing nasi goreng with the

Indonesian ambassador, or .

toying with seng sun chun over at the Korean Embassy, or sampling crabflake ravigote with the Pakistanians. = The world’s nosebag cham-= pionship-—for the week, that is —went to King Faisal. Although he’s only 17, King Faisal put on a couple of spreads that would wring shrieks of envy from a Nero—or even from a Gwen Cafritz. To kick off, King Faisal threw a stag dinner at the Iraq Embassy for the town's distinguished officials, like Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Gen. Omar Bradley and

Agriculture Secretary Charley Brannan,

” = o THE EATS started with lobster in aspic, then went on and on, through Potage Bagdad, which tasted like soup; filet of beef Rafidain; and Rice Under a Veil, which is rice with chicken in a pastry. The dessert was “Hanging Gardens,” which everybody knows is pineapple stuffed with sherbet and covered with something that looks like the spun candy they sell at country fairs. Then, only a couple of hours after downing that stuff, the guests moved on to a big reception at the Mayflower Hotel, where the king fed a bunch of less important people. Besides stuffed lamb, there were turkey, ham, chicken, lobster, roast beef and about a zillion kinds of pastries, plus several tank cars of champagne, “Most of the Americans did themselves proud in the eating department, especially Chief of Protocol John F. Simmons. Mr. Simmons is used to that kind of thing, of course and acted like “Hanging Gardens” was something he had for dessert every Sunday. It did seem as if Navy Secretary Dan Kimball got kind of wan when he came to the Rice Under a Veil, though.

zn ” on Yon GENUINE Far Eastern - atmosphere, you couldn’ beat the big Indonesian ly bassy party celebrating the Republic's seventh anniversary. In addition to the nasi goreng, which is fried rice with shrimp, Embassy staff members were always clearing a space. and going into a kiprah, or a pentjak. These turned out to be native dances, performed in costumes 80 authentic even Cecil B. De Mille might have O. K.d ’em. The kiprah is a ceremonial dance, while the pentjak is supposed to symbolize the Indonesian art of self-defense, Most of the American guests, having been hardened: by watching lady rasslers on television, weren't scared a bit, though.

World Report—

Honest, There’s Nobody Here but Us Cherubs—

Eric Johnston, the movie czar was there, and Gen. Bradley and Air Force Secretary Finletter and all agreed that sure was good stew, even If the Indonesians did call it oper.

o ” n CHAMPAGNE toasts were drunk with the seng sun chun, or fried fish, at the party celebrating Korea's fourth independence anniversary. And over at the Pakistan Embassy, 1000 guests ‘were invited in shifts to help celebrate Pakistan's fifth birthday. Feature of the Pakistan shindig was Ambassador Ali himself, who looked like something out of Arabian Nights. He wore a sherwani, or fitted, knee-length tunic of white, buttoned with gold, and with his family crest embroidered on the left shoulder. Down below, were loose-fitting white trousers and slippers embroidered with gold and silver. He also wore a hat of grey caracul, but that was okay because he's a Moslem and they haven't let their women folks foist a lot of foolish customs on them, like taking off your hat in the house. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith deesn’t act at all like the boss of our Central Intelligence Agency. Instead of spending his off hours prying secrets out

An Indian diplomat went to the auto license bureau here recently: to arrange for tags for several embassy cars. He was so pleased with the courteous treatment he got, that he wrote thank you notes to two of the staffers, enclosing a $20 bill in each. The staffers, instead of pocketing the loot, called the Protocol Division of the State Department, and asked what they should do on account of they didn't want to offend the guy. Protocol told them it would be better to accept the dough, but if they felt it wasn’t right, then to explain very carefully that it wasn't permitted. The diplomat now has his $40 back, but his bafflement over the strange behavior of Americans has increased more than somewhat. 2 o n POOR PERLE MESTA always has a tough time with

Korean War Boom Gives Japan Shot in Arm

Industry Dreads Thought of Peace

Compiled From the Wire Services The thing Japanese business dreads most these days is peace, Keyes Beech, special Times correspondent, reports from Tokyo. An end to the Korean War will mean an end, or at least a drastic cutback, in what is Japan's biggest business — supplying. war materials to United Nations forces, he says. ~Each-new peace rumor from

“Panmunjom brings on a fran-

tic wave of selling in the Japanese stock market. Speculators with heavy investments in war industries can’t unload fast enough.

The Korean War has been Japan's economic salvation, Mr. Beech says. Japanese industry has been turning out goods for the American army at a rate of $1 million a day.

In two years and one month of war the U. 8S. Army has ordered $744,297,000 worth of war goods from Japan. As a result Japan's industrial production has reached a postsurrender peak exceeded in the past only by all-out production during the Pacific War. Repeated warnings from both foreign and Japanese observers that Japan is riding a wave of false prosperity have been paid little heed, Mr. Beech stated. But, in the words of one American economic expert, “if we pulled out of here tomorrow Japan would be applying for relief the day afterward.”

Profit From GIs Official U. S. aid to Japan ended in July 1951. But Japanese business, riding the crest of a war hgom, hardly felt the difference, In addition to the flood of U. 8. war orders, Japan has profited enormously from the presence of American troops and clubs who are spending a minimum of $20 million a month here, This figure is reflected in official yen sales to American personnel. It does not include the big black market traffic in yen and dollars

NEW ‘WATCHDOG' BASES FOR WEST—The Western powers are setting up two important new bases in Turkey and Greece. As shown on Newsmap, they will anchor defenses of the northeastern Mediterranean region fronting on Russia. Izmir, Turkey, better known as Smyrna, will be the headquarters for the new Southeastern Europe Command. Salonika, main city of northern Greece, will become interim air headquarters for the eastern Mediterranean approaches. The two new bases bracket

the Dardanelles.

War Japanese industry is in a better position, physically as well as financially, than at any time since the surrender, Mr. Beech states. Plants have been expanded and obsolete or worn out equipment replaced. Lots of Barbed Wire The U. 8. Army, caught short by the suddenness of the Korean War, first placed emergency ‘orders with the Japanese because the stuff needed

could be produced here quicker

than it could be shipped from America. . Since that time the Army has discovered that the Japanese can make many items as cheap or more cheaply than the same item can be made and shipped from the States.

Washington ‘has ruled, however, that the Army must not

pay more than the U. 8. price for any item plus an additional 10 per cent to cover shipping costs.

Army purchases in Japan have covered almost every conceivable item from glass eyes and vaccine to railroad ties, napalm bomb tanks, dried fish and Bibles printed in Korean. The Japanese have supplied the Army enough barbed wire —642,000 colls—to go around the world 50 times, according to a Tokyo mathmematician. Some of the est U.S. ,purchases have been in coal,

iron and textiles, It is no longer a secret that Japan is pro- .

Most of Korea has heen destroyed and Japan, which built up the country in- the first place, may profit from the reconstruction, Mr, Beech states.

Looks Like Close | Race for Senator According to Polls

“ By The Times City Staff

DEMOCRAT HENRY SCHRICKER and Republican William Jenner are running neck and neck in the race

i S. Senator. h

at's the verdict of three separate polls conducted by professional politicians with axes to grind. No one guarantees their accuracy or honesty. They're not even

scientific.

Two were Republican samplings, one Democratic. Strangely, all three reflect a tight race. They were taken in different parts of the state. One GOP. North Side neighborhood poll was conducted right here in Marion County. Here's how it tallied percentage-wise: Jenner 45, Schricker 44, Undecided 11. In a northern Indiana community, normally Repub« lican, Democrats found this percentage: Schricker 44,

Jenner 41, Undecided 15.

Downstate in a red hot Democratic county, the GOP found this percentage: Schricker 41, Jenner 40, Unde«

cided 19. It's much too early, the professional politicians say, to measure the true sentiment of Hoosier voters. p The Times straw vote poll, which has had excellent success in gauging voter sentiment in the past, soon will bring Hoosiers the outstanding independent poll in Indiana.

Dinner Guest

MUNICIPAL Judge Scott

McDonald heard a new ver-

sion of the “Man Who Came

“to Dinner” story last week.

Elderly gent testified in court he was taking a bath when a “friend” came and invited him to dinner... Before

he could get out of the bathtub, he told the court, here's how his “friend” occupied himself: “He drank my liquor, ate my peaches and stole my gun.” “Case dismissed,” said the

judge. “You should have better friends.”

Butler on Ice?

IS BUTLER UNIVERSITY entering the ice show business in competition with the Coliseum? Question ig Current hot item in show-biz circles. Evidence all indicates Butler Fieldhouse is booked for series of dates immediately following Chicago run of Sonja Henie's ice show, which ends Oct. 5. . Barbara Ann Scott and the Arthur Wirtz Hollywood Ice Revue are due at the Coliseum for three weeks starting Oct. 9.

Butler authorities keep mum

about plans. Their alibi: “Our 1éssee forbids us to talk.” One Butler spokesman named -one James Culligan as lessee contact. That's the name of Miss Henie's general manager. IL.ocal show people wonder what gives. How come university is involved in such intrigue Or, if not involved in scheme to run sharp competition to Miss Scott and the Colis'eum, why silence? Cynics say maybe it's a new high in higher education,

‘No Rough Stuff’

WHEN CITY cops finally put the brothel of a well known madam out of commission, police received one complaint— ? “Why knock her out? She had the only respectable joint in town. Her place opened at 9 a. m. and closed at 7 p. m. She didn't cater to the rough trade.”

City-Hall Blues

CITY HALL 1s in constant uproar over who gets the few parking spots around the building. Safety Board hears many gripes from department heads. Now, the street commissioner and parking meter fund officers get choice spots at rear door because they come and

go often. Other City” Hall workers get less consideration.

Mayor Clark is untroubled

by personal parking woes. He has a chauffeur who does the worrying. = Here's how one City Hall reporter described the messedup curb restrictions: “There's a straight no parking area where anybody can park. Then there's restricted no parking where I generally park. And there's positively no parking where I might get a ticket, so I stay out.”

TV Jitters

. WFBM-TV has too much

movement in its moving pictures according to televiewers who've watched out of town stations. T TV fans claim flop-overs, jitters, blackouts and other astigma’s of locally projected films. are an Indianapolis malady and don't occur over other stations.

Private Eye MARION COUNTY almost had a private “Bureau of Investigation” to cope with crime and vice on a scientific basis. Two characters, who had just completed mail order fine gerprint course, wanted to organize agency here and play cops and robbers. County Auditor Roy T. Combs upset their plans when he refused to authorize money for their badges.

And Deputy Sheriff Fred:

Fosler refused to co-operate by giving them a job with the sheriff’s office. “Whattsa matter, sheriff” asked one ace private eye, “you afraid we'll show ya up?” ‘We're all waiting for the answer,

Here's a Boost

JULIETTA’S Daily E, MeCoy, who is seeking a $1500-a-year salary boost, already is the highest paid county home superintendent in the state. McCoy has proposed in the 1953 budget to raise his pay from $4500 to $6000, plus room and board for himself and his wife. However, at least four coun ty home directors will earn

more than McCoy, figured on

the salary per inmate,

Vice-Capades. ON ONE of Prosecutor Fairchild's daily visits with city gJgamblers in his latest “newspaper crackdown’—it “makes good reading, doesn't it—a character quipped: “Is this trip necessary?” Insiders are snickering at Fairchild's statement: “They promised me they would close down.” Fact is one of the joints he visited and called a “little hole in the wall” is operated by top level gamblers with plenty of connections, And, if Fairchild wants to take another look at this joint on W. Ohio St., he'll probably find it still operating—as it was 5 minutes after he left.

$1 Million for Waste?

WHAT'S Indianapolis going to do about increasing amounts of industrial waste, mostly paper, that has to be disposed of daily? Spend a million dollars on an incinerator, probably.

J. G. Mingle, city smoke con-"-

trol head, says waste paper is worth so little most plants refuse to bale it for sale, pay for privilege of dumping it. Dump operator burns it, but not fast enough. When dump is filled, problem will fall in city's lap. Board of Sanitary Commissioners has couple of estimates on incinerator prices. Plant big enough to take 400-600 tons of combustible waste daily will cost $800,000 to $1, 200,000 at today’s prices, Might cost more when they finally get around to it.
