Early Effect Of Loan
Will Be Varied DIET,
Commons Is Told
ey The AssceIotsd Press

LONDON, July 15.-Hugh Dalton.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, told
the House of Commons today that
the first effects of the $3.50, 900, 900
United States loan would be a more
varied British diet, but I'VE cannot
yet afford to buy all we would like
The credit, repayable over 80
years, beginning in 1851. at per
cent provisional interest. was en-
acted by Congress Saturday and
awaited only President Truman's S
promised signature.
We shall be able to authorize the
Ministry of Food to purchase food
stuffs which, if they can be obtained.
Will provide more varied diet, "
the Laborlte financial secretary said
In commenting on the loan.
Better Supply of Materials.
He added that the government
expected also to be ab1e to prepare
for better supplies of raw materials
and a limited increase in manufac-
tured imports.
Comments of British newspapers
ranged from restrained optimism to
gloomy foreboding. Some editors
professed to see the outpouring from
the United States Treasury as a new
menace to the entire British empire
Stocks were steady. The loan
caused no buoyancy on the market
Mr.. Dalton also told the House .
Commons, We cannot relax our
efforts in production. especially in
the export trade AS soon as we can,
We must balance our overseas &C
count"
Cabinet Considers Loan.
The cabinet considered the loan
earlier. Authorita tive informants
said the loan would result in high
priority for machinery, machine
tools and newsprint to allow news
papers TO increase from their cur
rent four-page sizes.
The program also is expected to
provide for new gasoline imports
which may end rationing by Christ
mas, these informants said.
While Britain can draw on her
new dollar reservoir up to the limit,
financial circles expressed belief the
government would proceed slowly to
avoid buying while prices were high.
Although there appeared general
relief over approval of the United
States loan, there was no evidence
of iubila ton. In a statement Satur-
day night welcoming the loan, Mr.
Dalton took the position that it is
business proposition that will
benefit the United States as much
as Britain-a view generally echoed
by the British press.
Some Hint of Misgivings.
British editorial comment, while
generally warm, included some hint
of misgiving. This was reflected by
the Times Of London. which said
this morning:
There is danger which it
would be foolish to ignore that pop
ular feeling in the United States
will insist upon strict application of
the conditions of the loan as they
are generally interpreted. -''
The lessons to be derived from
the experience of the last 10 or II
months underline the fact so evi-
dent from the outset. that the power
to loose or bind in freer trade ar
rangements projected for a more
expansive future will rest finally
with the United States

Il can assure Congressman MAY
that he will be given full and fair

proceedings. He will be accorded
exactly the same privileges granted
TO any other witnesses.
The invitation to appear stands
but there will be no further written

session on Saturday, instructed
counsel to examine the law as to
bringing Congressman May before
the committee by legal process. 1t

Never Saw Books of Company.
Mr.. Freeman said he never saw
any books OF the Cumberland Lum-
Der Co, or stock certificates. He
had no stock in the company him
self and assumed he was a dummy
director he added.
He said Mr. May once indicated
he was worried about failure Of the
company to deliver lumber but did
not know the Representative was
Kentucky agent for the concern. In
fact, the witnesses added, he didn't
know what the term State agent
meant.
Chairman Mead went into the
matter of about $4,000 in checks
from Erie Basin or Batavia to Mr..
Freeman, which, according to earlier
evidence, testimony. was cashed by
Sam Beard, Washington gambler
for the late Albert Levin, a local
attorney.
Mr.. Freeman said Mr.. Levin had
been a good friend, and he had
asked the lawyer to cash these
checks because, at the time, he was
having trouble with his first wife
and didn't want to put the checks
through a bank with his indorse-
ment.
Mr.. Freeman insisted that he
never heard of Beard until these
hearings started and didn't know
where Mr.. Levin cashed the checks.
Il assumed he went to the bank
and cashed them the witness ex-
planned. Il think" Senator Mead
commented. that If someone were
cashing checks for me with man
who made his living off the race
tracks or the numbers racket, Id
know about it."
Had No d. c. Bank Accounts.
Mr.. Freeman insisted that he
didn't. Mr.. Levin simply brought
him the money, usually the same
day. the witness said.

Then why. did he go to Mr.. Beard
with those checks?"

Freeman replied.

| the witness said.
In response to other questions, Mr.
Freeman said neither Erie, Batavia
nor any of the other Carson COM
panies had Washington bank ac-
count that he ever knew Of.
Mr. Freeman was asked about the
LAKEWOOD Manufacturing Co. of Los
Angeles. He admitted that his son
was head of it.

Tax Unit Study Books.
All the corporations named in the
investigation and many of their
officers have been brought under
the scrutiny of the income tax unit
OF the Internal Revenue Bureau, a

AT this time the examinations are
being conducted by area examiners
