1.-Two 20,O00-1on Liners
To Cost S2o,0oo,o00 Each

NEW YORK, Nov. pa sc, ,000,- =
900 program for construction Of two
20 ,000-ton American nag passenger
vessels to operate in the New York
Western Mediterranean service was
announced today by the American
Export Lines.
John E. Slater, executive vice
president, who revealed the decision
of the board of directors. said he
hoped the liners would be in opera
ton by mid-l950.
Mr.. Slater said the line would ask
the Maritime Commission for so
per cent construction subsidy as au-
thorized by the Merchant Marine
Act of 1886, which If allowed would
bring the company's capital outlay
to s20,000000.
Mr.. Slater said the vessels, to cost
$20,000,0 900 each, would have speed
of 221a knots and would carry 937
passengers-314 in cabin class, 318 in
tourist and 305 in third class. They
will operate between New York and
Genoa and Naples, and a Riviera
port not yet designated.
The vessels will have length OF
683 feet and a breadth of 80 feet,
with eight decks. They will each
carry a crew of about 500 officers
and men.
Each ship will make Is round trips
a year, accommodating about $4,000
passengers.

partment and Treasury representa-
tives revealed they were making in
vestigations
Continuing thesdiscussion of per-
jury, Senator Ferguson said:
The public must feel that when
those vino come before committees
raise their ri ght hand to their God
and swear that they will tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, that the people can
rely on that evidence"
The chairman called attention to
the subcommittees function as an
investigating and, recommending
group and not prosecuting agency.
1T could suggest citations for con-
tempt of the Senate but that, Sen
ator Ferguson declared, would not
be adequate punishment for per-
jury
Another aspect of the investiga-
ton was referred to the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
This dealt with the question of spec
ulation in Government bonds. Evi-
dence at the hearings showed Gen.
Meyers made paper profit of $780,
900 on a S4,000,000 bond buying
project. Howard Hughes accused
Gen. Meyers of having tried to bor-
row $250.0O0 from him for this pur-
pose while Hughes photo recon-
naissance plane contract was under
negotiation.
Arnold Denies False Statements.
Our subcommittee deals in spe-
ciflc cases as it affects officers and
Others Senator Ferguson said,
but for the overall study of that
matter and in view of legislation or
policy, the Banking and Currency
Committee should take that matter
into consideration"
Gen. Arnold began his testimony
by reading prepared statement in
which he said he wanted to deny
false statements" made about him
by Gen. Meyers. He commended
the subcommittee for its great
service to the public, to the Nation
and to the Air Force itself and all
who served in it."
The United States Air Force has
never condoned and never will con-
done such conduct as is indicated by
this evidence. regardless of ability
position or rank" He went on, "If.
to our regret, we of the Air Force
did not find rotten apple in our
barrel, we are grateful that others
have done so. If we were at fault in
not finding it, we must admit our
fault.
But we can say with all the force
at our command that we were
straining every nerve to prepare for
and win the war We thought we
had reason to rely on the integrity
as well as ability of men entrusted
with high responsibility
Gen. Arnold recalled how Gen.
George E. Stratemever, at his di-

Freedmen,s are Inadequate.

Freedmen's are inadequate.
He did not mention psychiatric
service, saying that, so far as he
knows, the present relationship of
Howard University to St. Elizabeths,
by which Negro medical students get
a brief period of instruction from
members Of the st. Elizabeths staff
is satisfactory.
One Phase Of Program.
Mr.. Ewing said the proposed ex-
pansion of the Howard medical
school through the increase in pa
tients its students could observe
Is only one phase-although one
of the most important-in an FSA
program to increase the Nation S
supply Of Negro doctors.
The situation is terrible" he re-
ported. There are many counties
in the South where there aren't
enough white doctors to take care
of the white population, and the
result is that the Negro population
is virtually without any care at
all. We have got to find means
of increasing the output of Negro
doctors"
Other Steps Listed.
Other steps to achieve this end
were listed as follows:
l. A private philanthropical
agency has been asked to provide
scholarships for Negro medical
students and has indicated its
willingness" to set up 100 scholar
ships of $1,000 year for two years
for Negro premedical students.
When details are completed, other
agencies will be asked to carry
these students through the remain
der of their medical training on
additional scholarships.
2 Governors of many Southern
States now are considering a pro-
posal to expand Meharry Medical
School in Nashville, Tenn, the Ma
tion's second largest source of Negro
doctors.
Meharry is now in serious finan-
cial straits, losing 100000 a year,
according to Mr.. Ewing. He said
the institution was losing heavily in
the operation of its hospital be-
cause the city of Nashville pays far
less than cost for INDECENT patients.
A large annual subsidy from a pri-
vate philanthropical foundation
was recently withdrawn. and Me-
harry, unlike Freedman's, cannot
draw on Federal funds.
Mr. Ewing said serious considera-
tion is being given to using Meharry
as regional medical school for
Negroes in the South, under the
Constitution requirement to provide
equal facilities for students of both
races

rection in January, 1943, wrote to
high-ranking procurement officers,
including Gen. Meyers, for informa-
ton about their stock holdings.
The reporting officers, including
Gen. Meyers, in effect, gave me their
words that their investments were
as stated and were disposed of as
stated. I think it is true that Air
Force officers having wide procure
ment responsibility have refrained
as a matter Of ethics from such in
vestments.
TT never crossed my mind, and I
am sure it never crossed Gen.
Stratemeyer's that any of these re-
ports were filed with a mental
reservation regarding stocks in
other names or transferred to a
wife We relied on Gen. Meyers
word that he no longer held directly
or indirectly investments from
which he might profit from his pro-
curement authority.
Gen. Movers had the effrontery
to state at the hearings that, after
making his report. ne verbally dis
closed the full facts to me and per-
haps to Gen. Stratemeyer; that he
received the approval of one or both
of us as to his continued indirect
holdings; that he made what he
calls verbal agreements with his
superior officers; and that told him
that the matter of sale of stocks was
one for his own judgment.
These statements T brand as alb
solute falsehoods, as does Gen
Stratemeyer'
Bond Discussion Recalled.
/ In reply to specific questions. Gen
Arnold said the only time he ever
discussed investments of any kind
with Gen. Meyers was in connection
with the Meyers plan to buy Gov
ernmert bonds.
He told me something about hav-
ing to put up $4,000 to get more
money from the banks and buy
bonds" Gen. Arnold testified Il
said, wait minute. you're going too
fast. Have you talked with Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau?'
Gen. Meyers said he had and that
it was okay.
But" Gen. Arnold added, IT de-
clined for two reasons. First, I
didn't think it was right Second,
I never had $4,000 in my life
Asked about any evidence of
wealth that Gen. Meyers had, Gen.

as captain for better than I could

out that 10 per cent of Gallinger
patients are Negroes. A 1946 survey
| by outside medical experts, spon-
sored by the Washington Metro
politan Health Council, made SIM
liar recommendation.
Opposed by d. c. Authorities.
AS pointed out last week in The
Star, the proposal has been opposed
by District authorities 'on the
grounds that Howard lacks suf-
fcient qualified doctors to take its
share of responsibility for treatment
of patients, that precedent is lack
ing for mixed medical staffs here
and that there is not enough room
at Gallinger to train three sets OF
medical students simultaneously.
A Gallinger report in Mach set
the daily average of patients, eX-
cluding the psychiatr1c department,
which is not used for teaching, at
974. Freedman's, the report stated,
averaged 418 at that time. George
town and George Washington STU
dents average 26 patients apiece,
it was said while the somewhat
smaller classes at Howard average
3.3 patients at F'reedmens S.
MIR. Ewing said he first informed
the District Commissioners OF his
intention to raise the Gallinger issue
at a conference to discuss rates at
st. Elizabeths Hospital the week be-
fore last.
The Administrator said they "ex-
pressed their entire willingness to
explore the possibility OF working
out satisfactory arrangement"
Full Proposal Awaited.
The exact nature of the FSA pro-
posal to be submitted to the Comls-
sioners must await the report OF
Howard University's medical school
dean, DR.. Joseph L. Johnson, &C
cording to Mr.. Ewing.
He said he believes Howard would
be interested in sharing the opera
ton of at least three medical serv-
ices at Gallinger next fall-com-
municable diseases, pediatrics and
obstetrics and gynecology.
Howard officials, he declared,
would limit their immediate re
quests to those services in which
they already are able to take part,
and for which the facilities at

Secretary of the Army Royal
and Secretary of the Air Force
Symington conferred at length
with other top officials of the
two departments yesterday on
the case of Maj. Gen. Bennett
E. Meyers following the con-
clusion of the Senate commit
tee investigation. A spokesman
said later that neither depart
ment would have any comment
for the present.
The spokesman added that a
statement might be issued early
this week lin view of the testi-
mony of Gen. Hap Arnold"
Earlier statement on the
Army position had been prom
ised as soon as the hearing
ended.
Whether Gen. Meyers faces
a court-martial as result of
the disclosures by the commit
tee presumably would be cov-
cred by the statement.

closing the psychopathic division.
Gen. Young said he wanted infor-
nation on which patients would
go direct to St. Elizabeths, what
facilities st. Elizabeths has for the
additional load of patients and the
psychological effect on patients of
being admitted to st. Elizabeths in
stead of Gallinger.
Representative Miller said he is
not ready to recommend closing
the psychopathic division until he
Is convinced that it is impossible
to make improvements necessary
to provide civilized treatment Of the
mentally Ill at Gallinger.
If it is permitted to continue as
1t Is now" he said, sit would be
better to close it."
He added that he thought it might
be less expensive for the District
and assure better treatment for the
mentally Ill If the patients were
treated at st. Elizabeths rather than
Gallinger.
Fowler Favors Proposal.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
said the proposal sounded good to
him, although he predicted that it
would take considerable tine to
work out the details. If the District
is going to continue its close asso-
citation with st. Elizabeths, he said,
there is no reason why all diagnosis
and treatment of the mentally i'll
should not be done in one place.
Mr.. Fowler said the buildings now
housing the psychopathic wards
could be used as center for alco-
holics or as convalescent wards.
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar R. Ewing joined DR.. Winfred
Overholser, superintendent of ST.
Elizabeths, in expressing willingness

tients.

"If the Commissioners want to send
patients direct to St. Elizabeths," he
said, we'll be glad to help out. I'm
sure we have the room. We could

DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert, head of the

that even with the present short

division of the Justice Department

matter ard will conduct the case
before the grand jury, Mr.. Clark
said
Jurisdiction Must Be Fixed.
A Justice Department spokesman
explained some decisions are yet to
be made not only as to specific
charges but also as to persons other
than Gen. Meyers who might be
involved. Still another determina-
ton must be made as to the juris-
dictions in which indictments could
be returned under widely varying
statutes. =
It is believed likely that prosecu-
ton on any of the perjury charges
would be handled in the District.
This conceivably could apply to wit
nesses who testified before the sub
committee.
It also would apply to false state
ments allegedly made in an applica-
ton for District license for an
automobile that figured in the re-
ported relationship between Gen.
Movers and the Aviation Electric
Corp. of Dayton, Ohio, be explained.
Prosecution under the statute
prohibiting Army or other procure
ment agency officials from doing
Government business with firms in
which they have a financial in
terest probably could be carried out
here in most instances, unless the
three-year statute of limitations
stands in the way.
Ferguson Attacks Perjury.
Prosecution under the income tax
laws would be in the jurisdictions
where the tax returns were filed.
Gases of that kind involving Wash
ington residents usually are tried in
Baltimore.
The problem of perjury came in
for sharp comment by Chairman
Ferguson as he concluded hearings
which reopened November 5, fol-
lowing a 12-Week lay-off since the
Howard Hughes aircraft war con-
tracts investigation began last sum-
mer.
mo court, no committee, no ma
ton can survive if perjury is the
common thing in hearings" Sena-
tor Ferguson declared. And for
that reason I think it is to be re-
GREETED that there are not more
actions against perjury. 1t seems it
is becoming current that willful
false swearing can be committed
before courts and committees.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, agreed that "the whole
structure of justice rests upon
people, witnesses, coming before
committees and courts and telling
the truth
At Senator HatCh's suggestion, the
subcommittee decided to send the
entire record of the hearings to
Mr.. Fay as we'll as the Attorney
General because what took place
In this committee room should be
called to the attention of those who
have the right to prosecute on such
acts"
Senator Ferguson noted further
that the record was being sent also
to the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Earlier in the hearings Justice De-

never heard Of the company before
this inquiry started.
When Gen. Arnold concluded with
review Of the wartime achieve
ments Of the Air Force and an as
surance that I'VE must learn from
each error and be watchful against
repetition" Senator Ferguson COM
mented:
I'VE realize and we must all real
ize that there were millions of men
in the service and that we should
not judge them by the mistakes OF
a few.
Ferguson Cites Accomplishments.
I'VE must also have in mind that
in time Of peace we must prepare
for war because we have not yet
arrived at place in the world
where we can say that peace can
be brought about and kept by peace
full means. Therefore it is impor-
tant that the public, the boys who
fought in your service, and you, feel
that all corruption is exposed to
the light of day. 1t is along that
line that we have proceeded"
The chairman observed that the
Senate committee conducted several
Investigations that went into the
legislative halls themselves" He
mentioned investigations and hear
ings that led to the trial and con-
viction of former Representative
Andrew j. May, Democrat, of Ken
lucky, wartime chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee
and the Senate ban on the seat
ing of the late Senator Bilbo, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, last January.
IF this committee can bring
about improvements that will be
made both in procurement pro-
cedures and in the setting up within
the military establishment an alert
and vigorous investigative agency
to act as an effective watchdog of
public funds, then we will have
accomplished something.
The committee feels, as you do,
that the curtains of secrecy should
not be drawn now and that we
should not stop at this particular
moment.
1--WE will continue to look into
the question of procurements so
that we may assure those men who
fought, those officers who offered to
give their lives, and those men who
spent long hours in procurement,
that all of the corruption, fraud
and ineficiency is exposed to pub
lie view so that the public will have
faith and confidence and never
lose faith in the great services that
protect the institutions of America" I"
