35-MiIIion Fund
For 0WIGiven
House Approval
Vote Moves Measure
Delayed by FEPC
Fight Nearer Senute
BY the Associated Press.

The Office of War Informa-
ton won a financial fight in the
House today as a move to hold
its current year funds to $18,-
100000 was beaten down de-
cisively.
A standing vote of 40 TO So, with
Republicans furnishing most of the
opposition, upheld a Senate-H House
compromise giving Owl $35,000,00
Inc compromise still requires Sen
ate approval, but that body earlier
had voted owl $39,670215.
Owls appropriation was one OF
33 items in disagreement between
the Senate and the House in a
S769, 364,8 supply bill for Is war
agencies that had been deadlocked
more than month over funds for
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee. The FEPC fight was
settled yesterday, with both
branches voting it s250,000, less
than half its budget estimate.
Still in controversy in the House
before the compromise goes to the
Senate for final approval is House.
voted and Senate-rejected provision
excluding agricultural workers from
jurisdiction of the War Labor Board.
Representative Taber of New
York, ranking Republican Appro-
priations Committee member, led
the fight to curtail Owls funds.
THE operation of the Office Of
War Information" Mr.. Taber told
the House, "and the ridiculous waste
and the enormous amount of funds
that have been fooled away
compels me to object to and oppose
the conference report"
Many of the Owls 10,375 en-
ployes, he said, "have nothing to
do" and "a great many have been
on the pay roll at large salaries
without any job or responsibility"
Congressional leaders were press
ing for action because Monday is a
pay day for most of the agencies.
Unless the bill is enacted, the agen-
cies will have no funds to pay en-
ployes' salaries Included in the
measure are appropriations for the
War Labor Board, ONCE of Defense
Transportation, Office of Economic
Sterilization, War Production Board,
War Shipping Administration and
others.

Brig. Gen. David F. Hutchinson of

storm Japan's invasion beaches.
Rear Admiral D. C. Ramsey, new

mated Japan might have 5000

throw about 1000 into the battle
over Japan.
Fighter Opposition Weak.
Only weak fighter opposition was
encountered over Tokyo Bay and a

Dulles lndorses
Charter Without
Reservations
Ratification Urged
By Labor; Hearings
Will End Today
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Adoption of the United Ma
tionS Charter without reserva-
tions was urged upon the Senate
today by John Foster Dulles
foreign affairs adviser to Gov
Thomas E. Dewey in the last
presidential campaign.
In statement prepared for deliv.
cry before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee as it approached
the end of its hearing, Mr.. Dulles
said Germany regained her military
might after the last war because the
victors fell apart, not because the
Treaty of Versailles was soft"
In the closing hours of testimony
the committee also received strong
Endorsement of the charter from
organized labor, speaking through
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor and
President Philip Murray of the Con-
greSs of Industrial Organizations
Norman Thomas, several times the
presidential candidate of the Social
list party, favored ratification, not
because he regards it as adequate
but because the United States would
be in better position to work for
peace if it is in the organization.
Thomas Urges Three Steps.
While recognizing it is not prac-
ticable to make reservations that
would throw the whole Charter back
for reconsideration by the other ma
tons, Mr.. Thomas argued that at
the appropriate time the Senate or
Congress should take three steps,
including a provision reserving the
constitutional power of Congress
over the issue of war or peace. He
also advocated a specific statement
of the right to withdraw, and the
making of quarterly reports to Con-
greSs by the American representa-
tives on any agency of the organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Dulles, a recognized authority
on world affairs for the past Is
years, said the San Francisco treaty
charts path which we can follow
joyfully and without fear" because
under it the United States remains
master of its own destiny while II
works in cooperation with other
Nations.
THE United States is at a parting
OF the ways" Mr.. Dulles declared
Either we must act to continue the
association of the United Nations or
we must let that association lapse
and go it alone. After the last World
War, the United States decided to
go it alone, Great Britain and
France decided to compete for power
on the continent of Europe. Italy
decided to expand in the Mediter-
ranean so as to imperil Great
Britain's lifeline to India. Japan
decided to make China her puppet
and to take over Great Britain's
economic and financial position in
the Far East. Those decisions, by
the Big Five of that victory, created
such dignity that Germany evaded
the provisions of the Treaty of Ver-
sailles and regained the power to
do evil.
Treaty Dismembered Germany.
There is a widespread impress
sion that Germany regained power
because the treaty of Versailles was
soft That is an illusion. 1 was
at Versailles and can testify that
the temper of the Allies was stern
then, as 1t is today. The treaty
was at the time looked

Pan-American Road
Cost S42,751,591,
Probers Informed
Eisenhower's Opposition
To Construction During
War Is Disclosed

py tHt hsSoCldIeo FIeSs.
The War Department, which
originally estimated the Pan
American highway could be con-
structed for $14,7l4,000, spent
$42,715,591 on it and dropped the
job unfinished. 1t. Gen. Eugene
Reybod, chief of Army engi-
neers, revealed to the Senate
War Investigating Committee
today as it began an inquiry
into the whole history of the
project.
He said the original estimate was
based on incomplete information, y
but that an important factor In
the high cost was lack of shipping
which resulted in delays due to
shortages of material. AS result
workers remained idle for long
periods. Work was halted in Octo-
Der, 1913.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan developed from Brig. Gen.
Kenneth Hartford of the Army gen.
eral staff that Gen. Eisenhower, as
assistant chief of staff in 1912, OPP
posed wartime construction of the
road.
Approved by Stimson.
He read into the record memo
randum in which Gen. Eisenhower
expressed the opinion that mo JUS
LITIGATION exists" for diversion of
critical materials to the project.
It was approved, however, by the
general staff and Secretary of War
Stimson. The Army Service Forces
urged the highway to assure move
ment of supplies to the Panama
Canal area. The project involved
905 miles of construction between
the Southern Mexican border and
Panama City.
Gen. Reybold acknowledged that
Gen. Eisenhower had beer right.
ut is certain" Gen. Reybold said
that if the War Department hao
known in 1912 the facts it knows
today the Pan American highway
would never have been built. In
other words, with knowledge that
the japanese menace in the Pacific
would be met as soon as it was
met, and with knowledge that the
submarine sinkings in the Carib-
bean would be decreased as they
were decreased, there would have
been no necessity to start the con-
struction of the highway as a mat
ter of military insurance.
Could Not Stop at Once.
"It is also true that If the Army
had known earlier that the strategic
situation, particularly in the Pa
cific, would improve when it did
in fact improve, the work on the
construction could have been
stopped earlier"
Senator Ferguson said he could
not understand why work was not
halted earlier. Gen. Hartford said
an order to stop work was issued
September 10, 1913.
What are the reasons you did
not stop on the day in September
when you found out it was not a

John Memolo, Scranton pa
attorney, told a House commit
tee today that he had not, "as
far as I know" paid any money
directly or indirectly to former
Federal Judge Albert w. john
son.
When, John H. Bigelow, attorney
for Judge johnson, asked Mr.
MemoIo during cross-examination II
he did not know for certain, Mr.
Memolo replied.
That is, beyond Greenes, I don't
know"
Mr.. Memolo had testified yesterday
at the House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee hearing on the conduct of the
former judge of the Pennsylvania
Middle District that he had been
splitting interim fees in a receiver
ship case with Jacob Greenes, Scran-
ton beer salesman. He said Mr..
Greenes had been able to get things
done" in Judge Johnson's court.
Relates Deal on Reversal.
When Mr.. Bigelow said Recently
you tMemolo) were tried in district
court" Chairman Kefauver inter-
posed.
THE records show that Mr.. Me-
molo was convicted in United States
District Court in Scranton of vio-
lating the income tax laws, and the
case is now on appeal to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals"
Mr.. Bigelow then asked Mr.. Me-
molo If he had requested any ia
yors from the Department of JUS
tice regarding giving testimony
here"
mo, sir, that was not even men
toned" Mr.. Memolo replied.
Mr.. Memolo said that as attorney
for Tax Collector Joseph Simon
Cell of the borough of Winton, Pa,
he engaged in deal through Mr..
Greenes with Bankruptcy Referee
P. E. Kilcullen to get a reversal from
"the court" in decision in a tax
matter involving the Mount Jessup
Coal Co. receiyership.
Turned Over $4,000.
Mr.. Memolo said he had been ''as-
sured" the referees decision would
be reversed after he agreed to split
the resulting $4,000 award. 1t was
reversed, he added, by Judge John
son.
He said he gave $4,000 to Mr.
Greenes. This was his first trans
action with Mr.. Greenes, he added
Committee Counsel M. H. Gold
schein then interjected:
"Greenes testified before the COM
mittee in Scranton that he received
the money from Memolo and took il
to Kilcullen's Office. Donald john
sons son was there. Mr.. Greenes
said he started to hand the money
to Kilcullen, who said, give it to
Don.
