Legislators Employed
By PauIey Company,
Witness Declares
Ad Mon Says He Hired
Two to Do Publicity
Work for Firm
By J. A. O'Leoy

The head of a Los Angeles ad-
vertising agency told the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee today
he employed two members of the
California Legislature in 1899 to
do public relations work for the
Petrol Corp, which was one of
his clients. The Petrol Corp.
was founded by Edwin w. Pau
ley, whose nomination for Un-
dersecretary of the Navy is be-
fore the committee.
Chet Crank, head of the adver-
tising agency, said he engaged John
w. Evans and Cecil King, then in
the California Legislature, from
September, 1899, to March, 1910, at
5000 a month each, and that their
salaries were charged to the Petrol
Corp. account Mr.. King is now
a member of the House.
Outside Jobs Customary.
Senator Tydings. Democrat, of
Maryland brought out by question
ing that it is customary for men,
bers of a State Legislature to have
outside employment, and Mr.. Crank
agreed, observing that otherwise
they would starve" because their
average salary in the Legislature is
only $1,000 a year.
Mr.. Crank said he also assumed
like Senator Tydings, that Mr.
Evans and Mr.. King performed this
work at time when the Legislature
was not in session, because he said
he did not see how they could be
in Los Angeles and Sacramento, the
State capital, at the same time.
Senator Tydings also brought Out
that the work for which they were
employed was solely to increase the
retail trade of the Petrol Corp.
During today's session, T. S
Petersen, vice president of the
Standard Oil Co. of California, de.
MED that a conversation he hac
with Senator Tobey, Republican, ol
New Hampshire two weeks ago was
repeated to him as soon as he left
the Senate Office Building by Harry
March, president of the Signal Oil
and Gas Co.
Knew of Conference.
Mr.. Petersen also denied tina,
when he went from Senator Tobey'.
office to Mr.. March's hotel that Mr.
March greeted him with the saluta-
ton, "Et tu, Brute"
Mr.. Petersen said Mr.. March knew
the conference had taken place ir
Senator Tobey's Office but did not
reveal any knowledge of the de-
tailed conversation.
Earlier in the hearings Senator
Tobey had suggested the possibility
of a Leak of the conversations he
had with Mr.. Petersen and Nee
Burnham, official of Standard Oil
afiiliate. The Senator indicated he
had had his Office examined to see
If it contained dictaphone.
Senator Tydings observed after
listening to Mr.. Petersen's testi-
mony that there was mo indication
that a "dictaphone, canary, pol
parrot or man behind a curtain
| had figured in the conference.
Smear" Charges Protested.
Near the close of the morning ses.
sion, Senator Tydings protested
against what he termed smear
charges that go out through tn,
press and radio, and said he won.

Soviet Troops Begin
Leaving 'Undisturbed'
Territory Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Mar. 1.-The Mos.
cow radio announced today thai
Red Army troops would start
withdrawing tomorrow from
those sections of Iran which are
undisturbed," but would remain
In the northwestern area, which
includes the province of Aver
baijan.
The Soviet government has in
formed Iranian negotiators that the
withdrawal-due tomorrow from all
Iran under an Allied agreement
will be limited to eastern areas of
Soviet occupation in Northern Iran,
where the situation is relatively
calmer," according to the broadcast
(The United States Govern
n1ent is expected by diplomatic
officials in Washington to pro-
test to Russia against the newly
announced plan of keeping Red
Army forces in so-called dis
turbed" areas of Iran. One rea-
son, these diplomats said, was
Secretary of State Byrnes' speech
IN New York last night, in which
he emphasized the need for all
countries to get their armies
nome again and stop using force
or threats of force for political
advantage.)
An autonomous government was
reported a month ago to have been
set up in Azerbaijan Province after
Red Army troops blocked off Iranian
relnforcements ordered into the
province to put down revolt. Pre-
mier Ahmed Qavam Els Saltaneh
announced February s, before he
left for Moscow to negotiate Rus
SIAN -Iranian differences, that he
would not recognize the Azerbaijan
regime.
British Troops to Leave.
The broadcast was the first def
mite indication from the Soviet cap
ital what the Russians intended to
do about the withdrawal of their
troops under the British Russian
Iranian Treaty of 1912, which speci-
fed withdrawal of all foreign troops
within six months after the end
of the war.
1t followed a statement at the
Foreign Office here yesterday that
all British troops would have been
withdrawn by tomorrow, in strict ac-
cord with the treaty. The last of
the American forces assigned to Iran
were withdrawn January /.
A British Foreign Once spokes-
man said there probably had been
exchanges OF information between
London and Washington regarding
the withdrawal as the deadline
neared.
The American Embassy said it had
no information" on any negotiatins
and, up to the time of the Moscow
broadcast, had no indication of what
the Russians would do about with
drawing.

Child Safety Is
Highway Concern

Montana's highway patrol this
week was concerned about traffic
safety for children. Sixty-seven
children under the age Of 10 have
died in traffic accidents in the past
10 years, according to Supervisor
Charles L. Sheridan. Many of them,
he says, caused their own deaths by
failure to pay attention to the cars,
but many more were innocent VIC
tins of the reckless, the careless
and the drunken driver.
This weeks jingle:
Young Jimmy watched the boys at
play.
As he gripped his clutches tighter,
Yes, his Daddy had the right of way,
So he hit that other blighter."

London Today

England suffered much during the
war. Many blocks in the heart Of
the great city of London, completely
RACED by the Nazi "Luftwaffe," re-
main unrepaired. ALI parts Of the
city sustained scattered damage
from the raids. They took much
punishment bravely, and they are
industriously setting about to repair
their country.
Perhaps it is partly Britain's prox-
unity to continental troublemakers
and the consequent disaster, al
though some of these trouble spots
have been pawn as well as threat
during her history, that gives the
people such an awareness Of foreign
relations. They have learned the
defenses that are usually provided
by a good foreign Office, and have
developed shrewd international
statesmen. There is little apparent
disunity in their foreign policy.
Nonetheless, war came to them,
and their sufferings were great. Re-
construction in Britain Is moving
slowly. A long time will be required
for complete rebuilding. even of her
damaged streets and destroyed
buildings. Materials are short, and
rationing diverts most materials
into home building, which is pro-
ceeding slowly also.
Rationing Showdown
Most Britons feel that rationing
of materials has slowed production.
The government is meticulous about
filling out FORMS" and the proper
approval must be had to obtain each
different type of building material.
Sometimes brickwork must stop
because the bureau controlling glass
has not approved and returned the
forms for buying windows.
The London press announced while
i was there that building contrac-
tors were being granted extra gaso-
line rations because of the addition
al travel required to get their nu-
rnerous forms filed out and circu-
lated to wholesalers and retailers,
which they found necessary to do
in order to complete a building.
AL rationing seems to move slow
ly. For instance, had to obtain
food points to give the hotel for the
week I was in London. Upon the
advice of the hotel manager that 1
should report at the rationing Of
fee when the doors opened at nine
o'clock, l arrived at 8:45 and found
long queue already waiting.
Eventually found myself in spe-
cial room for foreign visitors, with
only few of the waiting applicants,
and had to wait Only about an hour.
The speed of the ration clerks re-
minded me Of some of our own paid
clerks during the war: it was eyi.

Der of customers they served and
that they had no fear Of competition,
Queues and Bread
England is experiencing a greater
shortage of food, clothing, and gaso-
line than during the war, and there
fore rationing has not been eliminat-
ed. On the contrary, some items
are now rationed which were NOT
under rationing during the war,
Queues of from so to 800 people
