More than $50 persons crowded
the hearing room in the old House
Office Building and spilled over into
the corridor.
Chairman Ploeser disclosed at the
outset of the hearing that he had ap-
pointed a substitute subcommittee
on the Greenbelt investigation with
himself as chairman because the
three original members appointed
were unavailable. He explained
that Representative Howell, Repub-
lican, of Illinois originally named as
subcommittee chairman, had in
formed him of his plan to resign
from the House. Two other COM
mittee members, Representative
Hill, Republican, of Colorado and
Keogh, Democrat, of New York
have gone abroad with special COM
mittees.
Riehlman, Patman Chosen.
Accordingly, Mr.. Ploeser an
nounced he had appointed tempo
rary subcommittee composed of
himself as chairman and Repre-
sentatives Riehlman, Republican, OF
New York and Patman.
In. his opening statement, Mr.
Ploeser declared, 1T would be very
unfortunate indeed if the fact that
our hearings are opening with CO.
operatives is interpreted as an at
tempt to single out co-operatives as
either bad example of special
privilege or as the only case of spe-
cial privilege in our business system
Such an Interpretation would be
grossly unfair to co-operatives and
the chair would be the first to
resent it,"
He added that the investigation
was not a probe" a persecution" or
a witch hunt" but is a~factual
study.
Mr.. Patman, who had clashed with
the chairman in a prehearing ex-
change of statements, moved sue
cessfully to have the committee seek
the records and file of the National
Tax Equality Association.
Mr.. Patman had charged in a
statement that the association was
among a group of organizations
which sought to destroy coop
erativeS.
A large group of Greenbelt resi-
dents arrived at the hearing in a
local bus. Samuel F. Ashelman,
general manager of Greenbelt Con-
sumner Services, arranged for a CO.
operative pantry" Greenbelt's trav-
cling store, to be parked on the Cap
itol steps to provide lunches.
Patman Sees Political Aim.
Before the hearing began, Mr.
Patman charged that Republican
leaders had planned IAN inquisition
instead of an investigation" with the
purpose of destroying co-operatives
which he said are an important part
of Americas S free enterprise system.
Further, the Texan asserted, its
purpose is to make President Tru-
man and the Democratic Party the
objects of political attack.

that if dollars are sent the Unit

But another member of the
committee said he had no such
understanding of the committees

the bishops to personally inspire

original offer of $50,000 a year
but accepted in September,
1914, another offer Of $75.0 900
and "other considerations"
He identified the ''other con-
siderations" as an option to buy
10000 shares of stock in tn e
Trans World Airlines, which
Hughes held, at $23 share.
Perelle said this finally was set
tied for $250,00O after he parted
with the Hughes organization.
Perelle said Hughes also paid
5000 a month rent on a "com-
pany guest home" in Los An
geles and $4,000 for servants,
food and other home costs.
Perelle brought up the name
of Meyer, who has testified to
spending $164,0OO entertaining
guests for Hughes, by saying ne
could not find out what Meyer
was supposed to be doing for
the aircraft company.
Perelle said he joined Hughes

of the contract to produce 100

these conditions:

was only about 40 per cent COM

Perelle said he discovered
that Hughes was dealing direct

Finally, Perelle said, he put

Hughes, including a complaint
that aircraft personnel were be-

OF five motor vehicles, investi-

Federal authorities said in
Asheville they had taken war
rants charging the trio with kid
naplng and automobile theft.
The office of District Attorney
David Henderson said they had
been charged in the kidnapping
OF c. W. Crum, crippled gaso-
line station operator of near
Asheville. Crum said the trio
has forced him to take them
in his automobile to near the
Georgia line, where they stole
Sl35 and the car.
In Greensboro, Capt. J. M.

Holder admitted that he and his

Meanwhile, in Raleigh today
the State Highway and Public
Works commission refused to

Chairman A. H. Graham said
the commissioner felt the ap-

made for the sanatorium this
year was sufficient for hiring
necessary guards. The sanatori-

"all real friends of peace - and
they constitute the majority of
the people of any country - can
rely on the fact that the Soviet
Union will defend to the end the
interests of universal peace"
Urges Preparedness
(In an order of the day which
bore resemblance to the "aggres-
sion" phrase of Molotov's speech,
Marshal Nikolai Bulganin, Rus
sian defense minister, urged the
armed forces he commands to "be
in constant militant prepared
ness" against "instigators of a
new war;"
(The order, broadcast by the
Moscow radio and heard in Lon
don, cited the gains Russia has
made in the first two years of its
current five year plan and called
upon the armed services "to make
the borders of our motherland in
accessible to our enemies.")
Molotov declared the United
States and Britain were pursu-
ing a "quite different" policy
from Russia's policy of peace.
It is, however, clear that the
of military bases in va
rious parts of the world is not de-
signed for defense purposes, but
as a preparation for aggression.
1t is also clear that if, up to now,

PREVENTED RESCUE OF
JEWS, SAYS MORGENTHAU

New York (WNS) = Tens of
thousands of Jews could have
been saved in Europe if it were
not for the inaction and hostill-
ty of officials in the State De-
partment who prevented U. S.
rescue efforts, former Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., charged in an article in
the current issue of Golfers.
Mr.. Morgenthau discloses that
knowledge of Hitler's plan to ex-
terminate the entire Jewish pop
ulation in Europe came to Wash
ington in August of 1912 on the
basis of a report sent to DR.. Wise
by Gerhard Riegner, Swiss rep
resentative of the World Jewish
Congress, but that nothing was
done until January, 1914, because
of the deliberate suppression of
information and stalling by Of
ficials of the State Department.
It was only after the situation
had been made clear to President
Roosevelt by officials of the
Treasury Department, by DR..
Stephen S. Wise and by Mr.. Nor
genthau that the late President
created the War Refugee Board.
That was in January of 1914.
After President Roosevelt ap-
proved a plan to send funds to
Switzerland with a view to brib
ing Nazi officials into allowing
10000 Jews to leave Rumania
and France, the State Depart
ment thwarted the plan for five
months contenting the money
would help the Germans. 1t was
only after Secretary of State Hull
ruled that contention incorrect
that the plan went into opera
ton. The British Ministry of Eco
nomics, Morgenthau charges, also
objected to the transmission of
such funds and the British frank
ly stated that it would be diff
cult to find haven for the refU-
gees outside of Palestine.
