Under questioning by. Chairman Francis J. Myers, D., Pa., of the subcommittee, Condon said he "in no sense disagrees" with the need to protect the nation against subversive elements, but . he said it should be handled only by a "first rate agency." "This particular group," he said in referring to the House Un-American Activities Committee, "is" not only unfair to individuals but actually quite incompetent in the job it is supposed to do." Condon -was asked if he believed Communists have a "cani stitutional or other right" to Fei'waJ jobs. Not Lawyer "I don't know anything about constitutional la,v," replied the stocky scientist. "But my impression would be that under present conditions it would be desirable to have such an. -nterpretation so they would not.". He said that the Federal 'yydty program initiated by President Truman tw years a,o is a ' "very good thina" and t'nit .e "general policy Is certainly a good one." Condon, in addition to citing his own troubles with the UnAmerican Activities Committee, called attention to those pf Rep. Frank) R. Havenner, D., Cfll., and Dir Bernard .. Peters - of toe..

He was defeated, but later returned to Congress and has remained. "It shouldn't happen to adog but it? did happen to a Congressman and might happen to a Senator some dav," '"'jndon said. Under the reform resolution authored by Senate Democratic Leader Scott W. Lucas, 111., information on cases like those of Havenner and Peters could not be made public except in the form of a report approved by the full committee. Condon suggested that provision be added requiring that an answer by an aggrieved person be included as an integral part of the ."jport. .

These informants said the President instructed Defense Secretary Louis Johnson and Army Secretary Gordon Gray to - find out whether any military officials are linked with the "influence industry." Maj. Gen. Alden H. Waitt, chiel of the Army .Chemical Corps, and Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman, the Quartermaster General, already have . been suspended for alleged Implication in the five per cent contract racket. Vaughan Mentioned The name of Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, the President's military aide, has figured in the inquiry now being conducted by a Senate subcommittee. However, Senate investigators have refused to discuss a copyrighted story in The Washington Post linking Vaughan with a five per center and with one of the suspended Army officers.

Haymaker Predicts Democratic Victory In 1950 Elections
By Richard L. Taylor
f United Press Staff Correspondent 1 INDIANAPOLIS, July 20 1 (UP) Democratic State Chairi man Ira L. Haymaker said today n that his party'"is singularly free
of factionalism" and predicted
the Democrats would roll up an impressive victory in 1950.
"Governor Schricker and the rest of the state administration
are uouig an uuisiauuing juu, said Haymaker. "I believe that's the way you keep ' winning elections. Get in - er: 1 . t j j U
1 1 iiuue anu uien uu a guuu juu. V "I understand there are some J Democratic candidates," he said when asked about the United States Senatorial race, the choic- , est plum up for a decision by the i voters next year. But he refused to express an opinion as to who a the nominee might be. Samuel D. Jackson and Alex Campbell, both of For,t Wayne, have been mentioned most often to oppose Republican Senator i. Homer E.' Capehart. But some observers have said there was a 1 chance for a darkhorse, preferably from Southern Indiana, to r"-lip in if Jackson and Campbell
deadlock the convention.
Haymaker said the work of the Demcicratic House in the last session of the General Assembly "looked better and better" in retrospect. He said 1 the House passed every administration bill, and some of those whteh bogged
down in the Republican Senate
would provide vital campaign issues for the Democrats Next year. "In particular," he said, "the privilege tax is sure to be a red hot issue. It is a badly needed reform of the gross income tax, and is onethe common people are for." Haymaker took office last year just before the convention and successfully maneuvered Governor S-chricker's nomination. Haymaker succeeded Pleas Greenjee of Shelbyville. He parried a direct answer when asked if he would run . for another term as state chairman.
But he indicated he'd found the work at the party's helm en
joyable, and wouldn't object to a secondl two-year term. But he said he definitely wouldn't be
interested in any elective office

By Merriman Smith United Press White House Reporter CHICAGO, July 20. (UP) President Truman's re
port that Russia is running into trouble behind her iron cur-. tain today intensified speculation on whether Uhe Soviet grasp on Middle Europe is beginning to slip.
The President said as much late yesterday in a speech
before 70,000 persons at sun-baked Soldier Field. The occasion of his address was the diamond jubilee convention of the Shri,ners, a Masonic order to which he has belonged for years.
The huge crowd which heard the speech paid general
admission fee of $1 and $1.50 for reserved seats. The proceeds went to the Shriners for charitable distribution.
The President left Chicago Municipal Airport aboard
the presidential plane, Independence, at 7:13 a.m. (EDT), and arrived in Washington at 10:16 a.m. (EDT).
Declining the traditional red fez, Shriner Truman stood bareheaded before the crowd. He invited the rest of the world to join this nation's "great crusade for peace" in the face of mounting "tensions and conflicts" behind the iron 'curtain.

A non-scheduled twin engined
airliner crashed into an apart
ment building on a take-off early
today, killing six persons, and injuring 33 others, and leaving two persons trapped in the build-
mgs smoldering rums.
The plane was bound for Chi
cago.
Three of the dead were be
lieved to have been passengers on the plane. The other three apparently were residents' of the demolished .building.
Tanks Explode The 33 injured included 22 of
the plane's 32 passengers and crewmen, seven residents of the 12-room apartment building, and four firemen, burned four hours after 'the crash when a gasoline tank exploded as they sought to find the two trapped victims. Amos Hea-jock, president of the
0fAir Transports Associates which
operated tne . airnner saia tnree of the persons aboard .the ship were unaccounted for. He believed they were among the six bodies found in the wreckage of the plane and the building. He said he had accounted for 22 injured plane passengers and crewmen "and seven others who left the scene and are at the homes of friends." Coroner John P. Brill, Jr., said two bodies were found in the plane's wreckage and four others in the demolished building. Apparently one of the bodies of those who died in the' plane fell out of the fuselage. Victims Burned All but one of the victims were burned beyond recognition. The one was identified tentatively through a tatoo as a resident of the apartment. Heacock and his wife were aboard the plane, a C-46 transport, at the time of the crash. He was hailed as a hero for his quick
work in pulling and pushing the passengers . and crewmen out of the wreck before it caught fire. Witnesses said the plane's engines seemed to catch fire as it took oif from Boeing Field. As the pilot fought to gain altitude, the plane smashed through two sets of high tension wires, then ploughed into the apartment building. The upper floors of the building were sheared off.
UNDER A HOT JULY SUN at Soldier Field, Chicago, President Truman tells a gathering of 60,000 Shriners that the free nations of the world can win the "battle for men's minds" without war. The . President's address came as a climax to a six-hour, colorful parade down famed Michigan Boulevard
by the gaily uniformed Shriners, one ,of the features of the organization's diamond jubilee convention. Mr. Truman flew from Washington and speht the night in Chicago. He is a high-ranking member of the Shrine from Missouri. ' (International Soundphotos.)
Kenneth Monroe
Hurl In Wreck The condition ' of Kenneth Monroe, of Duggei. is improved at the "Mary Sherman Hospital. He was brought to the hospital
late Monday night after an accident, near Cincinnati.
It was reported that he was driving to work when he lost control of his automobile and it
went into a ditch.
He is suffering an eye injury and other injuries. '
BLOOMFIELD INSTALLING PARKING METERS Standards for 241 parking meters for the square in Bloomfield have arrived and will be erected shortly. The meters are expected within a few days. ' .
Dugger Persons Hurt In Wreck Dale Grounds, age 26, and Miss Shirley Risinger, age 17, both of Dugger, were injured in an accident near Martinsville Saturday night. Graunds is being treated at the -Freeman-Greene County Hospital at Linton. He is suffering from an injury
to the left eye and ::uts on the face, arm, and chest. Miss Risinger suffered, minor cuts and
bruises. The accident happened southwest, of Martinsville on Ind, 67 when Grounds' automobile was in collision with an automobile driven by Carl Kates, of Worth-ington.
He supplemented his statements at a nighttime banquet where ha said the United States should assume "militant'' leadership in the United Nations to offset th? USSR's "habit" of breaking in-, ternational agreements. Americans, he said, must' not. reassume the policy of "crawling into our shells and leaving the rest of the world to await the. destruction of the world." "We are assuming the responsibility which we didn't 30 years ago," he said. "God meant for us to take that responsibility." r Ribs Newspapers At a Democratic reception sandwiched in between his two , speeches, the President took occasion to rub it into the nation's newspapers for, their predictions he would lose last November's election. He. pointed out that he was "still President"- despite the widespread opposition1 from1 the press. , In his big speech in the afternoon, Mr. Truman did not mention Russia by name but referred to a "concept which now bears the name of Communism." He said the "concept" opposing democracy was trying to push smaller nations around with "lies, propaganda and hysteria" and implied that this was a smoke screen for troubles within the Soviet orbit. Within its inner structure, he said, world Communism was manifesting "the fatal weakness of all dictatorships." "Within the circle of its control today, tensions and conflicts appear to be increasing,'" he said. Peace or War In his formal after-dinner speech, the Chief Executive said the nation's problem is whether to spend five billions a year for peace or 100 billions for war. "You've got to do one or the other," he said. He deplored the fact that an "ally" since 1917, obviously Russia, was now making international treaties "for the purpose of breaking them." "It is absolutely essential that we assume the leadership of the democracies so that there will be enough force in the world to
maintain peace," he said. "That is all we are trying to do." The banquet at which he spoke was in honor .of Galloway Calhoun of Tyler, Tex., the Shrine's retiring. Imperial Potentate who was succeeded by Silent Screen Star Harold Lloyd.
