Scrap Dealer Charges
Outsiders Swap Steel
To Mills for Nails

A spokesman for the Institute of
Scrap Iron and Steel, representing
900 scrap dealers in the country,
declared today that outsiders"
never before in the scrap business
are buying up scrap to trade to steel
mills for steel products, including
nails. \
The statement was made by Edwin
G. Barringer, executive secretary of
the institute, as a joint congress
sional subcommittee investigating
housing costs prepared to hold a
closed hearing Wednesday on gray
markets" in scarce nails.
A committee spokesman an
nounced that the group had added
manufacturers of boxes to their list
of witnesses because this industry
was desperate" for nails. Heads Of
rs firms producing nails, including
the major steel companies, have been
called to the hearing.
Defen4s old Line Dealers.
Chairman Flanders said Saturday
there were indications that steel
firms were paying scrap dealers in
| nails in order to procure supply of
scrap metal to stay in business.
Senator Flanders said he felt that
scrap dealers may be a potential
source OF supply for the nail gray
market.
Mr.. Barringer insisted "old- line"
scrap dealers were not involved in
any such transactions.
There are a lot of outsiders,
never in the business before, who
have set themselves up as dealers
and are buying up scrap for trade
to steel mills for steel products" the
trade spokesman declared.
Advertisement Is Cited.
He added that there was very.
very negligible participation" in the
gray market for nails by established
scrap dealers.
Mr.. Barringer said he had no in
formation on smaller junk dealers.
He told of an advertisement that
ran recently in a New York news
paper in which an individual Of
fered 100000 tons of scrap iron and
steel from overseas in return for
steel mill products. The person
used only box number, he said.
The Flanders committee has
shown that nails are being offered
for sale by such concerns as a
chicken hatchery and a ladies'
clothing business.
A spokesman for one of the
Nations largest steel companies said
the industry bad not engaged in
any such transactions

Senators Seek Name
Of Ex-Cabinet Officer
In LIST Of Spectators
BY the Associoted Press

Chairman Bridges said today
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee is determined to see a
Government list of large traders
in commodities to determine
whether it contains the name of
former cabinet officer.
The New Hampshire Senator said
he has heard reports to that effect
and will renew the committees re-
quest to the Commodity Exchange
Authority, which has supervisory
authority over the Nations grain
and other commodity markets.
Witnesses told the committee last
week they are prevented by law
from giving Congress a compilation
OF big-scale traders but Senator
Bridges took issue with this stand.
Pauley Defended Action.
His group heard Edwin w. Pauley,
special assistant to the Secretary
OF the Army, testify last week about
his speculative investments" in
WIN o6oo, Ao1u dlIu OUIlCI VI OuQCCS
as a hedge" against imitation.
Mr.. Pauley, former treasurer of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, said he had sold most of his fu-
lures holdings since taking the
Army Department post under an
agreement with Secretary Royal.
He defended his right to engage in
such operations while serving as
special ambassador for President
Truman and protested against be
ing singled out" by the Senate COM
mittee.
Senator Bridge said the committee
has asked the Commerce, Treasury,
State, Agriculture and other cabinet
secretaries to make a check within
their departments on speculative
trading by officials or employees who
may have "inside" data on Govern
ment purchases that affect markets
and prices.
1--WE are going to have a show
down on these matters" Senator
Bridges said. Before we finish the
public will have the facts whether
Government officials want them
known or not"

their respective zones (the western
powers have no official reports or
removals from the Soviet zone).
2. Complete cessation of with
drawals from Germany on Janu-
airy /.
3. Restoration of seized German
assets to the German. economy, in
GLIDING the breakup of the big
Soviet trust in the Russian zone.
4. Unqualified acceptance Of the
provision that the first charge
which would be made against the
exports of unified Germany
should be for repayment of sums
advanced by the United States and
Great Britain for the maintenance
of the German civilian population.
Molotov Rejects Three Demands.
Mr.. Mototov has virtually rejected
the first three of these points
already. although he has in gen
eral accepted the fourth one.
Gen. Marshall declared that dis
cussion of the German problem was
unreal" in the absence of figures
on Russian reparations removals
and demanded that the Soviet
Union give an immediate account
ing.
The majority of the American
delegation obviously feels that it is
useless to go ahead with the re-
mainder of the agenda in view OF
the Soviet stand to date, and Mr.
Molctov's answer to Gen. Marshall's
request probably will determine
whether or not the conference con
tinues.
Gen. Marshall's statement, issued
to correspondents during a week
end cooling period that followed
Mr.. Molotov's angry charges against
the Western powers Friday, consti-
tuted an almost unprecedented &C.
ton.
1t apparently reflected a belief in
American quarters that Mr.. Molo-
TOYS repeated attacks on the United
States might be making some i'm
preston on European public opinion
and that a detailed reply was neces-
sary.
Until now Gen. Marshall has re.
fused to answer Mr.. Molotov's lone

American Proposals Cited.
In his statement yesterday, Gen
Marshall pointed out that Russia
had refused to accede to propose!
months ago that all the occupying
powers make public their policy or
financial matters and other trans.
actions in their respective zones.
He also declared:

forum on the acquisition of foreign
ownership or control Of property in
Germany.
/ 2. 1t has scrupulously carried out
in its own zone the moratorium II
proposed.
3. 1t attempted in vain to obtain
"factual statements" on the changes
in foreign ownership Of property in
each Of the zones of occupation.
4. There has not been a single
case of American acquisition of
German business property during
the entire occupation.
Gen. Marshall added that all
goods-including both coal and
timber-shipped out of Germany
from the American and British
zones have been sold at world mar
ket prices and the proceeds have
gone to buy essential imports for
the German economy"
He said these German exports
amounted to $165, 000, 900 since the
first of the year.
