was his understanding that loyalty
boards usually make a recon-
mendation which are not for
malized into findings until re-
vieWed-in this case by Secretary
Sawyer.
Commerce officials refused to
reveal what specific reasons were
the basis for the boards findings.
Such findings. it was said. usually
are phrased in language saying
there are reasonable grounds"
for questioning the loyalty of the
person involved.
Mr.. Lee is AZ and for FIVE years
has been an employe OF the Com
merce Department. He refused to
quit and said Mr.. Sawyer, in de-
manding his resignation, was mo-
tivated 'by the desire to save his
department from the trouble of a
congressional investigation"
He defended his loyalty and said
he had learned first hand some
thing of the brutalities of COM
muniSm.
1t was the second time the
board had looked into the Lee
case. On August 10, 1949, a Com
merce loyalty board, after months
of investigation, found that "rea-
sonable grounds do not exist to
believe" that Mr.. Lee was disloyal
to the United States.
Commerce officials said the case
was reopened last January on the
basis of new information received
about Mr.. Lee.
A congressional inquiry into Mr..
Lees appointment was set off by
ia February u speech by Senator
Malone, Republican, of Nevada,
charging that the official, as chief
of the Far Eastern trade branch,
had delayed shipments to the
Chinese Nationalists.
He introduced a resolution call
ing for an investigation of Mr..
Lees loyalty. He told the Senate
then that the official was Man.

posed at this time because such
a situation would dampen the
incentive of workers to increase
their productivity.
Further, the officials made it
clear they demand that any con-
trolls which prove necessary must
be administered by boards in
cluding full labor representation.
Machinists May Reaffiliate.
. The council said that because
of abnormally high corporation
profits and increases in the
productivity of workers many
employers can increase wages
without raising prices. An excess
profits tax was advocated as the
best means of avoiding higher
prices. Without such a tax it was
said the Government may be
forced to resort to consumer price
controls, rationing and other
regulation.
There were signs here that the
900, ,000-member International AS
sociation Of Machinists may soon
be reaffiliated with the AFL.
Another section of the execu-
tive council report recommended
as bar to Communist inflltration
that all unions should ban reds
from membership.

They were reported then as

Mr.. Sawyer acted quickly and
called for Mr.. Lees resignation.

clear in the annual report of the

some sort of wage controls, the
federation will insist that they be
made flexible enough to permit
adjustments of inequitieS and
rises in the cost of living.
Voluntary Methods Urged.
The council held that voluntary
methods rather than rigid Gov
ernment RECOMMENDATION would
produce the best results in any
mobilization program, whether OF
manpower or facilities.
AFL chieftains believe that con-
trolls should be clamped on prices
They said if that is done it would

House TO Vote on Plan
To Kill Aid 10 Nations
Selling Arms 10 Reds
By the Associated Press

Administration leaders today
looked to the House to kill a
proposal for shutting off economic
aid to countries which sell mill
tarily useful goods to Communist
countries.
This plan, sponsored by SEN
ator Wherry, Republican, of Ne
braska, was passed as a Senate
amendment to SIT billion emer-
gency appropriations bill to ex-
pand United States military power
and help arm friendly nations
abroad.
Over the week end. House mem
berS of a Senate-House confer
ence committee refused to accept
the amendment. They insisted on
taking it back to the House for a
vote, expected Wednesday.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee told q
reporter he is against the Senate
provision and probably will urge
the House to reject it. He said
it would be almost impossible to
administer.
Opposed by Hoffman.
Paul Hoffman, head of the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
ton, has come out against the
provision.
In a letter to Mr.. Cannon he
said: THE amendment would
create problems for us and for the
European countries"
In an earlier letter to Senator
Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois he
said the Western European coun-
tries are getting through normal
Eastern European trade channels
a number of strategic materials
like copper, bauxite, iron, steel,
coal, timber and food.
James c. H. Bonbright. deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for
European affairs, told a House
committee last Friday-24 hours
after the Senate adopted the
amendment-that the provision
would have a very damaging
effect on relations with friendly
European countries.
Senator Wherry said he is con-
fldent the House will approve the
amendment.
plain Common Sense"
IT'S nothing more than plain
common sense to keep arms and
war-potential materials from 60
ing to our enemies" he said.
During Senate debate on the
amendment Senator Wherry said
Great Britain had been shipping
Russia materials which were be-
ing made into munitions for use
against American forces in Korea.
The amendment would choke
off United States economic aid
but not military help-to any ma
ton which exported to Russia or
her satellites arms, armaments or
commodities which the Secretary
OF Defense certified could be used
in their manufacture.
The Senate-House Conference
Committee has resolved all other
major differences between the
separate emergency defense bills
passed by the two branches of
Congress. The Senate bill pro-
vided $17.192, 100000, while the
House measure contained $16,7 Ill.,
100000. The compromise puts the
total at approximately SIT billion.
The middle-ground version still
must be ratified by both the Sen
ate and the House after the House
decides what to do about the
Wherry amendment.

THE SUBS COULD LICK US

Until the problem of detection is solved,

that it's present budget is
