Rankin Urges Probe
OF Eugene Meyer as
Reserve Board Head
BY the Associated Press

Representative Rankin, Democrat
Of Mississippi, yesterday suggested a
congressional investigation of the
activities of Eugene Meyer, chair
man of the board of the Washington
Post, when he was head of the Fed
eral Reserve System.
He made the proposal in speech
to the House after Representative
Andersen, Republican, OF Minnesota
had mentioned the current Senate
committee inquiry into the COM
modify market transactions OF
Edwin w. Pauley.
Mr.. Rankin said:
Without defending Mr.. Pauley,
want to say that the Pauley matter
seems to have had one effect; it
seems to have awakened the Rip
Van Wrinkles of the Republican
Party from their 20 years of peace
full slumber.
They seem to have forgotten that
when Eugene Meyer was head OF
the Federal Reserve system he spec
ulated through stooge on the ex-
change and made himself rich;
while squeezing the currency and
wrecking the Hoover administra-
ton.
Il am told that he could not pay
his grocery bills at the close Of
the Fist World War; but when he
got through with the Federal Re-
serve System the Hoover admins
tration was wrecked beyond recov-
cry, and Mr.. Meyer was able to
buy the Washington Post to defend
himself with.
1T is now being used, and has
been used all the time, to stir up
race trouble throughout the South
ern States"
Mr.. Meyer was appointed COVER
nor of the Federal Reserve Board
by President Hoover on September
l6, 1880, and resigned May 10, 1888
He was not Immediately available
for comment in New York.

u. ). Offers 10 Share
Japanese indemnify
By the Asseeiaisd Press

The United States, in q new move
to break deadlock over reparations
from Japan, has offered to share its
allotment with other nations as part
of a general scaling down of claim.
by the Pacific Allies.
Diplomatic authorities said yes
terday the proposal was under active
consideration by the 1l-nation Far
Eastern Commission. These ofncials
said that as result there was
hope" that a nine-month stalemate
in the commission over shares in
the reparations bill to be handed to
Japan would be broken by unani-
nous agreement within few weeks
The separations issue is one of
the difficulties in the way of Japa-
nese peace treaty. which a House
Armed Services Subcommittee urged
yesterday should be drafted imme-
diately.
Under the new proposal, informed
officials said China would be given
the largest share of the indemnity
pool and the Philippines would be
granted the Is per cent it has
claimed.
China originally asked 40 per cent
OF any reparations collected, and
claims of the other Allies ranged
downward to Canada's Is per cent
The United States filed a claim OF
29 per cent-with the understanding
that reparatiOnS granted this colln-
try would mostly be transferred to
otner Allies. Russia asked for Il
per cent.

Eisenhower ellis Army to Drop
Secret Label on War Records

A study Of the order indicated
that historical information on hap

obtained only If they involve oper-
ations Of just the Army, and not of
other services or governments.
The order states that the de
classification" must be Consistent
with existing binding agreements
with other agencies, and other gov
ernments."
This apparently would impose a
bar to exploring information on
such matters as operational con-
facts with the Russians in the clos
ing days of the war or affairs en-
bracing State Department or diplo-
matte matters.
One authority suggested, however
that in questions concerning joint
operations with the Navy or in mat
ters involving the State Department
an agreement might be arrived at
by conference Of the agencies con.
cerned.
