COURT “SWAP” QUASHES FEAR OF CONTEMPT

Alleged Gray Market Operator Agrees to Tell Probers Where Gypsum Was Obtained Washington, Jan. 29.—A 301pound, 5 foot 4 inch building materials peddler finally agreed today to tell where he buys his gypsum—and got out from under a threat of a citation for contempt of Congress. Isidore Ginsberg of New York was the witness, before the joint housing committee. It’s trying to find out why the cost of new homes is so high. The result was a noisy, twohour session which had: (A) Congressman shouting at congressman,

(B) Congressman shouting at Ginsberg, and (C) Ginsberg autshouting them aIK What the shouting was all about takes a mite of explaining. Ginsberg had appeared before the committee last week. And when he came back today its cochairman, Senator McCarthy (RWis.), promptly greeted him as a “big time gray market operator.” McCarthy on Ginsberg: He buys gypsum—a scarce building material used as laths and partitions—and resells it at a large profit. This runs up the cost of housing to veerans. Ginsberg on Ginsberg: He buys gypsum in New York and Massachusetts, where there isn’t so much new housing. And by shipping it where it’s badly needed, he’s performing a “public service, at a modest 16 per cent profit.” When Ginsberg refused to tell the names of the firms from which he got his gypsum, McCarthy suggested that he be cited for contempt. (Maximum penalty: SIOOO fine, a year in jail.) Replied Ginsberg: “I’ll make you a sporting proposition. If the big gypsum companies will tell you who they sell to, I’ll tell you who I buy from.” McCarthy then asked for a contempt citation, but said he would wait until later to have a committee act on it. While he was waiting, officials of the gypsum companies agreed to give the committee the names of their customers—in confidence. Whereupon Ginsberg said he, too, would give his names—in confidence. So McCarthy said he’s drop the contempt idea.
