Conferees Study Plan
To Outlaw Reformed
| Reds in Union Office
BY The Assseiatsd Press

The question of whether 4 re-
formed Communist ought to be per-
mitted to hold ONCE in \ labor
union went before Senate and House
conferees today trying to compro-
mise labor bill differences.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said 1t Is the view of the Senate
conferees that just because 4 man
once was a Communist is no reason
for barring him forever from be-
coming q union officer.
I'VE want to leave some room for
the man who has repented and seen
the light" the Ohio Senator said.
House conferees were reported
not too enthusiastic about defend
ing a provision in their labor bill
which bars from union ONCE any
body who 'is or ever has been a
member Of the Communist Party
The ever has been" phrase was in
serted on the House floor.
Both bills ban the certification of
unions as bargaining agents If any
of their officers is q member OF the
Communist Party cor by reason OF
support OF the policies and doctrines
Of the Communist Party can rea-
sonably be regarded" as being a
Communist or one who believes in
overthrow of the Government by
force.
Senator Taft said. he still hopes
the conferees can conclude their
work this week, but some other COM
mittee members said they doubt any

until next week. Lending weight to
their belief was word that Chairman

yesterday to put q ceiling on union

The House voted to put q $25 limit
on initiation fees. Senator Taft
guessed the Senate would accept q

not specify.

Brewster Challenges
Order 10
'Impound Some Papers
syths Associu,.d Pres,

Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine declared today a Sem
ate. committee not private in
dividuals should be the Judge
of whether to observe an order
by President Roosevelt that
some of his papers should
never be made public"
Mr.. Roosevelt SO directed In .
memorandum now In the hands of
the War Investigating Committee
headed by Senator Brewster. The
memorandum singled out as exam
pies an exchange OF letters with the
king OF England and the late Cardi-
nal Mundelein of Chicago. It gave
no clue to the subject matter.
Other Papers Cited.
1t said there were other papers
which should be sealed for as many
as so years because they may refer
to people who are still alive In
way which would be embarrassing to
them"
The memorandum was dated July
16, l943. nearly two years before Mr..
Roosevelt died. It described such
papers as part OF his famous
peoples file" which were "in effect
personal" and not to be made public.
Mr.. Roosevelt stipulated that his
papers were to be classified by
Samuel I. Rosenman, an adviser and
speech writer; Harry L. Hopkins, one
of his White House assistants, now
dead, and Grace G. Tully, his White
House secretary.
Policy Is Criticized.
Senator Brewster, whose commit
tee has been demanding free access
to the Roosevelt papers in connec-
ton with an Arabian oil investiga-
ton, told newsmen the decision on
which files should be opened should
not rest with three private individ-
uals designated in the memorandum,
but with members of the Senate
committee.
He added that the Senators off
cial capacity renders them more
capable to decide the issue of relev-
ancy Of the documents as 1t applies
to the current investigation"
The committee is inquiring into
testimony by James A. Moffett, oil
company official and former Federal
housing administrator, that the
Government rejected terms. for Per-
sian Gulf oil in 1941 and then signed
contracts four years later to buy 1t
at a far higher price.

uled to be put on the stand briefly
Says He Worked for War Effort.
The line of questioning by Mr.,
Magee since May has been on the
stand indicated an attempt. to coun-
teract the Governments charge that
May and the Garssons entered into
a conspiracy to deprive" the United
States of the services of a member
of Congress by bribing him. The
Government declares May proflted
by more than $4,000 from the
GarsSons.
Mays explanations centered on
the theme that the alleged pressure
he put on the War Department was
in the best interests of the United
States, the department itself and
the war effort.
He denied having exerted undue
pressure on other Government OFF,
cials. But he said he recalled nu-
merous instances of complaints, pro-
tests and inquiries he legitimately
forwarded to the War Department
at the request Of individual citizens
and companies all over the country.
Variety of Calls.

said, went all the way from NUM-
tions to a supposed medicine for

low down in Kentucky sent me a
lot of that medicine to recommend
to the War Department. The stuff
was still in my Office when I left
Congress.
AS for the Garssons, May ad-
mitted he had several other rea-
sons for wanting to help them get
"fair treatment" from the War De-
partment.
Explaining a call he made to the
Ordnance Department Office in
Chicago, May said:
Henry Carson complained to me
that his company was not even
allowed to enter a bid. My COM
nittee was then investigating the
subject of competitive bidding
There was competition between the
Ordnance Department and the
Chemical Warfare Service as to
who would let contracts. Carson
had been there and was not given
an opportunity to bid.
Carson said the Ordnance De-
partment officers out there were dis
eliminating against him and we're
calling him and his brother "a
bunch Of kikes.' ! certainly didn't
believe the war effort should be
held up for reasons of race, creed
or color"

Jet SQUADRON
GOES TO ALASKA
First Mass Tactical Opera
tions Scheduled For
Arctic Regions
WASHINGTON. Dec. %. :

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. -(P)
- The Air Force has put an en-
tire jet fighter squadron into
Alaska "for the first mass tactical
operation of the high speed war
planes in the Arctic outpost.
1t said today the Gath Squadron
of P-80B fighters had arrived at
Ladd field, near Fairbanks, to
begin six months training opera
tions. A fighter squadron usual
ly is composed of about "a air.
craft.
The assignment of the Gath for
the long training period in the
Arctic apparently is in line with
the air force program of COM
bining training with garrisoning
of the strategic northern de-
fenSe area.
By rotating crews and air.
planes in units of squadrons on
training assignments in the north,
the air force is able to maintain
an interim defense system, pend
ing the time when the permanent
organization reaches its full (but
unannounced) strength in Alaska.
For the last year, B-29 units as
we'll as fighter squadrons have
been given training assignment in
Alaska to familiarize air and
ground crews with problems
there.
Commanded by 1t. Col. Donald
E. Hillman of Seattle, the Gath
squadron is unit of the tactical

Because the planes will en-

they have been given special

tactical operation of jet aircraft
in the Arctic" However, it may
be assumed that in addition to
the training for air and ground
crews in servicing and flying
more than a score of jet planes
in Arctic cold, those responsible
for strategy will have definite
interest in the operations.
They will disclose, for instance,
how long it would take an inter
ceptor force of jet fighters to get
into the air from Ladd field and
fly to the northern or western
coast of the territory to engage
any enemy force approaching
from those directions. While the
flying time for an individual
plane is easily computed, strate-
gists will want to know how soon

SOUTHERN PINES, Dec. %
R-J. S. Warman, operator of a
night club near here (The
Dunes), reported to police today
that his Great Dane watchdog
was shot and killed early this
morning by intruders who were
in his house when he returned
home from the club.
Warman said the dog, which
had accompanied him home,
dashed ahead of him into the
house and was shot between the
eyes.
He said he hurried to the house
and got gun and fired at a
figure fleeing to an automobile
in woods behind the house.
Warman said the first floor of
the house was in general dis
order with drawers opened and
their contents spilled on the
floor. He said a preliminary
search failed to reveal that any,
thing of value had been taken.
Lee Phillips of the State Bu-
reau of Investigation was called

TWO PROBLEMS
FACE RAILROADS
Balance Between Outgo
And Income Obstacle
To Be Overcome

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Up
- A top man in the industry
said today railroads go into 1948
with two major problems - Ito
restore a balance between in
come and outgo," and to get de-
livery on sorely needed freight
cars.
The appraisal came from Will
liam T. Farley, president of the
Association of American Rail
roads.
On the revenue front, the rail-
roads are pressing an action be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission for a new long-term
80 per cent increase in freight
rates. A decision on this should
be forthcoming early in the year.
With respect to new freight
equipment, Farley said in a state
men THAT "every effort is be-
ing made" to obtain delivery on
the 125,395 new freight cars which
the lines now have on order.
His statement disclosed that al
though 62,500 new cars were put
into service during the past year,
the retirement of wornout cars
ran close to 10000.
The current new freight car
production rate is running close
to $500 month - approaching
the 10000 per month goal set by
the office of defense transporta-
ton for attainment last summer
ODT, with new commitments on
steel ALLEGATIONS from the Amer
lean Iron and Steel institute, is
now pushing for a 10000 car per
month output for the spring of
l948. The agency reported hope
fully today that new car deliver
les in the last four months of this
year will top the delivery total
for the first eight months of 1947.
Faricy's statement said that
Notwithstanding railroad owner
ship of $4,000 fewer cars than
in 1929, the railroads in 1947
handled the greatest peacetime
traffic in history, with the eff
ficiency never before attained"
But the AAR president added:
"Despite this record traffic and
record efficiency, the 1947 net
railway operating income of ap-
proximately $750,0O0,000 (mil-
lions )before fixed charges, was
at an annual rate of return of
only 1892 per cent. The CORE
spending figures in 1916 were
$500, 10000, and a rate of return
of 2.75 per cent.
Railroad wages and payroll
taxes have gone up about IS per
cent since 1899. Prices of the ma
terials, supplies and fuel which
railroads must buy have gone up
more than 80 per cent"
