Busbey Asks Probe
OF j. 5. Personnel 10
Weed0ufCommunisfs

IS, A demand for an Immediate and
thorough investigation" of Federal
personnel to weed out employees
with communistic 1eanings has
been made by Representative
Busbey, Republican, of Illinois.
80 Declaring he has evidence indi-
eating that some employees are Com
smunists or Communist sympathizers,
Mr.. Busbey asked that the in
.yestigation be undertaken by the
Civil Service Commission and the
,FBI.
=, His speech yesterday drew sharp
criticism from Representative Holi-
field, Democrat, of California, who
asserted Mr.. Busbey was making
charges of disloyalty without actual
proof.
when members of Congress use
congressional immunity to hurl the
charge of communism or to ques-
ton the loyalty of any one, it's a
coWardly attempt to besmirch a
mans honor unless there is sufn-
cfent evidence to back the charges" "
Mr.. Holifield declared.
Asked whether his criticism ap-
piled to Mr.. Busbey's speech, Mr.
Holifield replied: I'll let him be
the judge of his own remarks"
President Truman's special COM
mission to investigate loyalty in
the Government is expected to
submit its recommendations to the
White House within the next week
Specific legislative proposals to
strengthen the present Federal
loyalty investigative system are

it was responsible for the explosions
in Haifa harbor early yesterday
which sank a government fisheries
barge and damaged a military land
ing craft.
This sabotage" the announcer
said, was designed to show Ha-
gana's unwillingness to tolerate de-
portation of uncertified immigrants
from the shores of their homeland,
as was done with more than 900
fl ON the ship La Negev few days
ago. We express our satisfaction
with the fact the operation was
carried out without casualties, which
was according to plan
This was Hagana's first reported
sabotage since the demolition
of the Allenby Bridge, connecting
Palestine and Trans-Jordan, across
the River Jordan, last June At that
time, the organization said the
blast was to show the British can

Sister From u. S. Visits Gruner
In Cell Before Making Appeal
Mrs. Friedman Seeks
To See Cunningham
On Communication
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Feb. 14.-Mrs.
Helen Friedman of Lancaster
Pa, visited her brother, Dov
Bella Gruner, in his death cell
today but refused to make pub
lie the subject or result of her
conversation with the con-
demned man, whose plight has
increased Palestine's bitter ten
sion.
Mrs. Friedman, who flew here
from America to try to save her
brother from the gallows, said on
her arrival yesterday that she would
try to convince Gruner that he
should make a direct appeal to the
Privy Council, British equivalent of
the United States Supreme Court.
Gruner, member of Irgun Zvai
Leumi, Jewish underground organ
ization, was condemned to die after
being convicted of participation in a
raid on a Ramat Gan police station
last May He has refused to recog-
nizc British authority in the Holy
Land by taking an appeal, but law
yers acted for him at the direction
of an uncle, Frank Gruner of St
Petersburg. Fla, and New York
The execution has been postponed
by official order.
Mrs. Friedman also applied for
an audience with High Commis-
sioner Gen. Sir Alan Cunningham
to appeal for Communication of the
sentence.
At an extraordinary meeting today
the Executive Committee of the
General Federation of Jewish Labor
(Histadruth) declared in resolution
that "in fact martial law is already
working in Palestine, although it is
not formally imposed"
The resolution, protesting recent
large-scale military measures, saio
that through evictions of civilians
from their homes and other such
acts, economic harm had been caused
to many people known to be in
nocent of membership in or SYM
pathy with any terrorist organiza :
ton.

Anderson Sees Need
OF Indefinite Support
OF u. ). Farm Prices

The Government should support
farm prices indefinitely, Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson told a
meeting of the Champion Farmers
Association of America at the Hotel
Statler last night.
Speaking extemporaneously to the
more than 300 members and guests
Mr.. Anderson urged the Govern
ment support because "of small leg
islative cost and its guarantee OF
price stability for all farmers
Further" Mr.. Anderson said
Government support would go a
long way toward making new gains
for farmers through wider distri-
button in foreign markets"
Worth 80 Billions.
Pointing to the farmers prosperity
today, the Secretary said they are
now worth 100000, 100000, owing
approximately $4,000, 100000.
Noting, however, that Government
support may go off this fall, Mr.
Anderson urged the consolidation
of farmers gains to prevent any
retrogression.
World War II increased the de-
mand for agricultural products, Mr..
Anderson said, "and some thought
we would reach our equilibrium for
supply and demand in foreign mar
kets last year, but We fell short. .
He predicted it would again fall
short this year.
In another address, Harvey S.
Firestone, jr., president of the Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Co., pointed to
the close similarity of agriculture
and industry.
ITO me-" he said, "their objec-
tives are mutual and Identical. The
farmer is just as much business
man as one who runs steel mill
or a rubber factory. The farmer is
baSically a manufacturer"
Cites Service to World.
Pointing out the large program
carried out by farmers during World
War II, Mr.. Firestone noted that
during the war and in the imme-
diately following postwar period, the
farmers of America literally saved q
large part of the world from mass
starvation"
Officers of the association have
been reelected for the coming year
it was announced They are John
Hendricks, West Liberty, Iowa
champion hog raiser, president;
Charles H. Schneider, Springfield
Ohio, registered Jersey cattle raiser
vice president, and Horace D. Mill

Foundation.

annual banquet of the association,
sponsored by the Firestone COM
pany. Music was furnished by the

 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.

NEW YORK, June 5.-tR-fhere wasn't much doing along the fight beat, but Harry Markson. as usual came uD with the makings of story. He sighed a bit because he couldn't beat the 20th Century Club tom toms as he remarked:
 T think that Ike Williams-Bo Montgomery fight in Philadelphia will be very important .. SomeS one cut in. T saw them once and what fight. With ten seconds to go. Montgomery finally belted Will liams out and as he fell through the ropes his head hung over the edge of the ring apron. Looking at him from the other side it really looked as if his head had been knocked off"
 My reason" Markson continued imperturbably, lis that for the first time in about 25 years therell be undisputed champions in every di- vision"
 A checkup showed he was right. From the time Mickey Walker ab- dicated in 1926 until Tony zale cleaned things up in l94l, there al- ways was an argument about the middleweight title.
 An argument over the feather weight crown began when Henry Armstrong dropped it in 1897 and didn't end until Willie Pep licked Sal Bartolo year ago.
 The current lightweight disagree ment began in l943 after Sammy Angott retired and then changed his mind.
 A bored scribe broke up the dis cussion: 50 what?" he demanded. Maybe before they fight Rocky Graziano will knock out zale and what will the New York commission do then?"

 Out of the revoIving door known as the Pacific Coast League race the San Francisco Seals came first today
 It could have been Oakland, or Los Angeles. Eat the Seals stag gered out first.
 Last nights dizzy doings:
 The Seals through the southpaw graces of big Cliff Melton, sailed through the Sacramento Solons, 6-l. It was a four-hitter old mountain music Melton tossed at the Solons. and Joe Marty's homer was the only run for ths, Sacs. Five runs off Al Smith in the eighth broke up the southpaw duel. Dino Restelli homered for the winners.
 The Angels moved into second place, by Red Adams six-hit, 31 victory over the San Diego Padres. Adams bested Al Olsen and George Caster, who gave up eight blows, two of them homers by John Os- trowskix and Ed Sauer. The Padres scored in the ninth on a last-surge rally that missed with the tying runs on base
 Oakland, like most visiting teams at Portland, had rough night with the Beavers absorbing a pair of drubbings, 9-2 and l8-2, with merciful midnight halting the sec ond game at eight innings and sparing the Oaks further embar- lassment. The inst game was only seven frames
 The berserk Beavers clubbed Oak twirlers for 12 hits in the opener, 21 in the curfeW piece
 The fallen Oaks, losing their third straight to the Portlanders, woke up to find themselves in third position
