Committee 10 Weiqh
Move Today 10 Force
Release ofCondon File
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

A House committee today stud
led a move to force Secretary of
Commerce Hartman to turn
over a loyalty file on DR.. Edward
U. Condor.
Chairman Thomas of the House
Un-American Activities Committee
arranged to present resolution de-
manding such action to a closed
session of the Commerce Committee
this morning.
Mr.. Thomas Committee has ac-
cused DR.. Condor, chief of the
Bureau of Standards, of having
associated with an alleged Soviet
spy. DR.. Condor has denied the
committees charges.
Mr.. Hartman has refused, with
President Truman's backing, to give
the Thomas Committee an FBI re-
port on DR.. Condor. This report
is in the Commerce Departments S
Loyalty Board files.
Mr.. Thomas and Representatives
Mcdowell, Republican of Pennsyl-
vania: Nixon, Republican Of Cali
fornia; Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi, and Peterson, Democrat, of
Florida we're scheduled to go before
the Commerce Committee to ask
approval of the resolution.
Il hope we can get floor action by
the end of the week." Mr.. Mcdowell
told reporters.

Mount Pleasant Citizens
0ppose 'Anti-Red' Clause

The Mount Pleasant Citizens AS
sociation last night approved the
action of it's Executive Committee,
which had instructed the delegates
to the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations to oppose the recently
adopted "anti-subversive" amend
ments to the federation's constitu-
ton.
This stand was taken because the
committee felt the association Is IN
no position to produce certificate
of a delegates loyalty as required by
the new clause.
Because the amendment has been
approved by the federation, the as
sociation referred to the Executive
Committee the problem of deciding
how the group CAN comply with the
new regulations.
The policies of the present ad-
ministration of the association were
given vote of approval. This meas
ure was in answer to letter from
a member, which sharply criticized
the Executive Committee.
The meeting was conducted by
Arthur E. Kimberly, president, in
the Mount Pleasant Branch Library,
Sixteenth and Lamont streets NV.

Reece Urges Restoration
OF 2-Porty System in South

LEXINGTON, Tenn, April 13. (4).
Carroll Reece, Republican Nation
al Committee chairman, said today
the Nations welfare demands res
toration of a vigorous two-party
system" in the South.
In addressing the 9th Congress
sional District Republican Conven-
ton, Mr.. Reece said the Threatened
disintegration of the Democratic
Party" presents grave danger"
to Americas system of government.
He said the Republicans "of
course are desirous of victory over
the Democrats this year."
But, he added, I'VE are also anxious
that the tWo-party system be main
tanned because the tragic examples
of other nations proved that multi
party system inevitably leads to
national disaster"
And in a bid to capitalize on
Southern Democratic opposition to
President Truman, Mr.. Reece said:
Restoration of vigorous two
party system in our Southern States
would mean that the electoral votes
of the South would no longer be
counted before they were cast for
the Democratic candidate"
The result of this prediction
counting, Mr.. Reece said, is that
the South Is ignored in the councils
of the Democratic Party on the
policy-making level"

Thief Loots Apartment
After Phoning Nurse
Mother Is Hurt by Car

A thief who used the telephone to
lure his victim away from home and
then ransacked the apartment was
being sought by police today.
Mrs. Ada Markley, 50. of 1850 Mac
Arthur boulevard NV, yesterday
left her apartment to do some shop
ping. A few minutes after she left,
her daughter, Miss Lynn Markley,
81 who was alone at home, received
a telephone call from man say
ing a woman named Markley had
been struck by car.
Miss Markley told police that she
rushed out to investigate. When
she returned after finding no acci-
dent, she discovered the apartment
had been searched. A pocketbook
and a wallet containing $40 had
been taken. Another pocketbook,
containing some jewelry, had been
overlooked by the intruder.
Miss Markley, a student nurse at
Sibley Memorial Hospital, said she
did not recognize the callers voice
and was too excited to ask him any
details of the accident"
In another robbery Bernie Cole,
colored watchman at the Morning
Star Elk Lodge Home, 1886 Fif-
teenth street NV, told police he
was struck on the head early this
morning by one of three men he
surprised in the act of rifling the
music box and cigarette machine at
the home. He said the men fed.
Nothing was taken.

House Begins Search
For Profiteers in Leak
I0f Food Buying Plans
BY the Assoeiosed Press

House investigators set out

Miss Dorothy Bayles. Commerce
Department economist, told the
House committee investigating COM

But Chairman Andersen told re-
porters personally I am convinced
the leak first came out between
August 20 and September 2, and a
rather substantial amount of money
was made on it,"
He added:
I'VE have just begun to get into
this thing. We want to hear who
profited."
OF Miss Bayles' testimony, he said ::
Il am inclined to believe her story,
and while you cannot forgive her
giving the information, out, think
it was matter of friendship and
the friendship was violated"

Another committee member, Rep
resentative Jenkins, Republican, of
Pennsylvania put in:
IF I'd never in my life talked
too damn much, I might be mad. y
Miss Bayles told the committee
she disclosed the fat and oil export
quota figures to Miss Geraldine
Canning, secretary to Eugene w.
Brockenbrough, the executive vice
president of the Shortening Manu-
facturers' Institute.
Miss Canning, she said, formerly
worked as her assistant in the Com

Last September 5, she said, there
was a big jump in lard prices and,

Many residents Of the area, he ex-

John Gorrell, delegate to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
opposed the certification of dele
gates by themselves under the fed

there are no morals or ethics in

permission will be given only in
cases where speed is essential and
the national defense effort requires
| it. But some members OF, Congress
point out the commission's order Is
so broadly written that entire
agencies could throw civil service
procedure out the window in hiring
personnel until 1852.
And the question has arisen in the
House and Senate Civil Service
Committees as to whether the COM
mission has tthe right to issue the
order without specific authorization
from Congress in the way of legls-
lation. The entire order may be
illegal, some members argue.
Another thing which angers the
various committee members is the
fact that they weren't consulted by
the commission before the order was
issued. And, although the order is
one of the most important ones is
sued by the commission in years, 1t
did not see fit to issue a press re-
lease on the subject.
First disclosure of the order was
contained in this column last Fri
day, when we revealed that the
commission was applying the order
to ECA. Then commission officials
acknowledged the order would sub
sequently be applied to the military
agencies as well as any other de-
partment connected with the de-
fense effort, If the occasion war
ranted it.
The order was printed in the Fed
eral Register on Saturday, as is re-
quired by law. but many important
Government directives frequently go
unnoticed in the highly technical
register. For example, the highly
controversial so-cSlled security gag
regulations which were proposed for
all Federal agencies went unno-
ticed for more than six months after
their inclusion in the Register.
When We asked commission Of
fcials why they did not make their
order public, one of them said that
some of his colleagues did not
think that it should get any pub
licity.'
Another official gave this rather
startling reason:
we didn't want to start any war
hysteria
Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee is said to
be readying a blast at the commits
sion for its action. MI. Rees and
some of his colleagues are wonder
ing whether the real reason that

double those for the previous three
months.
She told the committee 1t occurred
to her that leak of the figures
might have been responsible for the
market jump the previous Friday.
Gave Figures in Conversation.
Later on that Monday, she said.
she made routine calls to trade
associations to tell them to watch
for a press release on the export
figures. When she talked to Miss
Canning, she said leak probably
had caused the Friday market up
swing.
Il then ratified out the figures"
Miss Bayles told the committee.
Il then asked her not to release the
information and she said she would
not. I cannot explain in the
normal course of talking to some
body, whom I may say knew very
well and trusted, the thing that
developed"
one Sdlu she Qlu IlOI learn until
some time later that Miss Canning
telephoned the figures to Mr..
Brockenbrough at the Memphis
meeting.
Thought Data Was Released.
Then I took a nose dive" she
said.
Mr.. Brockenbrough told the COM
mittee earlier that he got the i'm
preston the export data had been
released officially. He said he gave
the figures to James w. J. Stedman,
then with the fats and oils branch
of the Agriculture Department. who
was to address the institute sessions.
Mr.. Stedman read the figures at
the meeting, but when he later
learned they had not been released
he returned to explain the error.
The committee had asked Miss
Canning to to testify, but was told
she was attending her sick mother
in Bar Harbor, Me. There she re-
fused to comment.

ATLANTA, April 13.-Democratic
leaders of five Southern States ap-
piled themselves today to the me-
chanics of putting into effect an
anti Truman civil rights program.
They met yesterday at the call
of w. P. Baskin, South Carolina
Democratic chairman. and re-
affirmed that any presidential cand-
idate backing a civil rights pro-
gram must forfeit the South's elec-
toral votes.
After an all-day session behind
closed doors, they announced that
today they would get down to the
details of a basic, common course
of action
Individual conferees also took
few verbal digs at President Tru-
mans advocacy of Federal anti
lynching, antipoll tax and anti
racial discrimination legislation.
They said that If the national con-
vention insists on nominating
President Truman or anybody else
holding similar views, the Solid
South might lust go fishing on
election day"
The conferees also said they
looked with favor on the States
Rights Conference called to meet
in jackson, Miss, on May 10 to
further the cause of States rights"
