Brewster Committee
Minority Hits Finding,
In Hughes Inquiry
BY the Associoied Press

The four Democratic members OF
the old Senate War Investigating
Committee today urged new hear
ings on Air Force buying methods
and personnel.
They made the recommendation In
a caustic minority report blasting
the findings of the Republican
ma jority in the Howard Hughes air.
craft inquiry last fall.
The minority report, signed by
Senators Hatch Of New Mexico, Pep
per of Florida, McGrath of Rhode
Island and O'Conor of Maryland,
stated:
"The record in the Hughes in
quiry indicated that further inves-
tigation of Air Force procurement
personnel and practices, particularly
at Wright Field (Ohio), should be
undertaken by the Congress or other
appropriate authority"
Caused Public Censure.
The Democrats charged that the
investigating committee headed by
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, repeatedly exceeded its
power" and said the handling of
the Hughes case, whether deserved
ly or not. caused public censure and
even public suspicion of the motives
behind the investigation
What's more, the minority said,
there is absolutely nothing in the
evidence which discloses any fraud,
corruption or wrongdoing on the
part of Howard Hughes or his asso-
ciates. All the evidence is directly
to the contrary"
The committee conducted a
lengthy investigation last year into
Mr.. Hughes wartime contracts with
the Government for photo recon-
naissance planes and huge wooden
flying boat.
Those hearings led to more SEN
sational investigation of the war
time financial dealings of Maj. Gen.
Bennett E. Meyers, former No. 2 Air
Force procurement officer.
Meyers Now in Jail.
| Gen. Meyers was later tried and
convicted on charges of persuading
business associate to lie to the
committee about his sideline activi-
ties. He is now serving 20-months-
to-5-year Jail sentence.
The majority report. issued last
April IA, leveled blistering criticism
at both Mr.. Hughes and Gen.
Meyers. But the Democrats insisted
that Meyers activities were not re-
lated to the Hughes contracts.
1T would have been the better
and fairer practice not to have dis
cussed these matters at ALL" their
report added.
They said it was unfortunate"
that the committee selected the
Hughes contracts as the first to be
investigated among all of the Gov
ernment's wartime contracts for air.

Why Not Have Both !?

Why Not Have Both
HI PAST few weeks have seen considerable discussion
and controversy, about the recommendation of the Civil Aero
nauticS Boards proposal to deny the Pan American the right
to include St. Crox in. its San J%uan-to- Trinidad route. The
Caribbean Atlantic Airlnes went to great pains to inform the
public Of conditions, and Of what it thought would take place
in the event Pan Americans application was not rejected
The local line bases its position on the volume of trade, and
that with two arlnes operating out Of ST. Croix, particularly
on local runs, the Caribbean would suffer. .
M.THIS battle Of words and cross currents of opinion,
the greater interest of St Croix must be the paramount fac
tor. 1t is no secret that we face an economic crisis, and in an
effort to wrest ourselves from this most unfortunate posi-
ton, must tap every possible resource. There is no question
that the operation of both airlines out of Benedict Field
here would be the most satisfactory result, and the one from
which the greatest good would come to this Island. That,
seriously, should be the outcome for which both airlnes, St.
Croix, and the entire Virgin Islands should work towards.
With the tourist trade being considered as possible out, it is
highly important that we leave the way open for develop
ment Of air travel and Pan American may provide part Of
the answer. undnnhtedlYy there IS here in s.. Cseix one Ct
the finest airportS, with excellent runways from which the
largest commercial and military planes can take off, and
other conveniences. Why. then, should not an airline such
as Pan American, which circles the globe not use the port?
To this might come the answer that Pan American would
muscle in on the local trade, but there is no reason whatever,
why the right cannot be made contingent upon the express
service between the north and Trinidad and South America.
This would leave the Caribbean to handle the local trade
without seeing itself in the red, and finally dropping out
altogether.
ALL 81. CROIX is opposed to the recommendation Of
the examiners that ST Croix be excluded from Pan Aneri-
cans San Juan-to-Port-of Spain route. And this IS very natur-
al for il cuts at the root Of one Of our most serious problems.

The sufficiencY Of my
merit is TO know that my
merit is not sufficient"
Augustine
The death of Mr.. Gustave
Johansen, former editor and
publisher of the 81. Croix
Avis, takes away from our
midst a most quiet but at the
same time colorful figure.
Starting practically at the
foot of the ladder in the office
of the st. Croix Avis, moving
upwards by his diligence
and industry, Gustave johann
sen, who was foreman of the
office at the death Of Mr..
John T. Quinn, was by long
association with the paper the
proper person to and did sue
coed the scholarly editor and
publisher for whom he had
labored for years.
"You are an excellent prin-
ter; but that does not mean
yov can be, an editor, or even
a publisher" sarcastically re-
marked the Danish official
whose backing Johansen was
seeking. Well replied Johan
sen in a tone Of voice as
though he was but answering
an ordinary salutation. "all |
am asking for is a trial, GER
tain gentlemen manning them)
think | can do the job, and /
think SO myself" He made
good. No journalist himself,
the sufficiency of Johansen's
merit was in his knowing that
his merit as a printer was not
sufficient to run his paper.
From the outset he surround
ed himself with writers who
were careful of the facts. I'm
der his management The st.
Croix Avis changed from I'LL
ra-extra-conservatism to lib
eral-conservatism, and, be
cause of his fondpess for some
of the young intellectuals Of
the time and the freedom he
gave them, occasionally to lib
eralism.
Mr.. Gustave Johansen was
a man of sterling character.
He was truthful. He was unas
, 1948-03-16

He wanted to satisfy
his readers. Telling him that
an issue of his paper was good
made him genuinely happy.
He also possessed that some
what rare ability of showing
due consideration for his sub
ordinates, and the proper ap-
probation of their services.
Johansen enjoyed the esteem
and respect Of all, from the
highest in authority and learn
ing, to whom he was always
Straightforward, down to the
humblest, to whom he was al
ways kind.
Years ago Mr.. Ralph de
Chabert, who worked with
Johansen on the staff Of the
Croix Avis during the
days Of Quinn, dubbed the
subject Of this sketch IAN an
gel". Ralph was as near right
as he could have been. Truly,
-
Johansen's urbanity Of man
ners and mildness of DISPOSE
ton We're remarkable!
Gustave Johansen was not
the genius type. He was the
Flooding type. What Dunbar
wrote about plodders can very
well be applied to him.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, June TO-
Marathon negotiations marked ef-

Oficials of the AFL Atomic Trades

Injunction, first to be obtained un-
der the Taft-Hartley law, prevent

Although the injunction time
limit expired Monday, the Govern

solve the writ in Federal District
Court at Knoxville.
Carbide's final" oner to the
workers was for an average 10 cents

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-With
rockies taking most of the bows
last night as the New York Giants
upset the previously unbeaten Chi

The statistics we're not impressive,
for the Bears gained 100 yards on

had a ITS to 155 margin. One of

On Skins Saenz; Bans
Return Of Bagarus
By Lewis F. Atchison

Hopes that Eddie Saenz, hard.
running little Redskin halfback,
would be ready to face the Pitts
burgh Steelers in the opening game
of the season a week from Sunday
we're dashed today when DR.. Danny
Fortmann in Los Angeles reported
the player won't be available before
the third and possibly fourth game
Of the season.
And while the doctor, q former
Chicago Bear guard, was handing
out the bad news, he declined to
okay Steve Bagarus, former Tribe
back who recently drew his release
from the L. A. Rams, for another
trial with the Washington eleven.
Bagarus has badgered Prexy George
Marshall for one more chance with
the Skins, claiming the leg he broke
last year was sounder than q pre-
war dollar. But Marshall said Steve
would have to get a medical okay
and Fortmann said If Bagarus
played football right now 1t would
be strictly at his own risk.
Redskins Pareing Down.
The Redskins, meanwhile, were
pairing down to the league limit of
IS men and shining up their heavy
artillery for Sundays Variety Club
benefit game against the Bears at
Baltimore. Sal Rosato's release yes
terday means the fullbacking will be
entrusted to Ed Quirk, Jim Cas-
tiglia and Choo Choo Macioszczyk, a
solid trio. Edwards still is shuffiing
the backs, trying to find the best
offensive and defensive combinations
for the Bears and hoped to come up
with surprise for the Skins arch
rivals.
The Tribes board Of strategy saw
the Bears lose to the New York
Giants last night via television and
got good idea of the rugged COM
petition they'll face Sunday. But
Edwards has an idea his backs will
be able to run against the Bears
and If they add gallop or two to
Sammy Baugh's passing barrage the
Skins would be in the running.
Sandifer to be Marked Man.
Dan Sandifer seemed to be run
ming as well as ever in practice
yesterday and should be in top form
for the Bears. The rookie halfback
will be a marked man Sunday, but
Edwards is hoping that while enemy
backs are failing him Tom Farmer
or one Of the other backs will get
loose for touchdown or so.
Sundays game also will be the
last chance for several players, in
cluding veterans, to prove their big
league caliber. If they can't cut
it against George Halas' crew they'll
be cut, so the skirmishing should be
lively.
