Senator Kefauver said this re
quest would be transmitted to
Chairman Neely and a decision
is expected before the Monday
hearing starts.
Mr.. Maloney said he felt any
hearing should be open, especially
If the committee was to follow
its past practice of having a sub
committee spokesman announce
to reporters what took place at
executive sessions.
Knew Grunewald as Friend.
Senator Kefauver said Mr..
Maloney had been subpoenaed be-
cause he had been referred to in
earlier testimony as the one who
had introduced 1t. Shimon to Mr..
Grunewald.
The Senator said Mr.. Maloney
had explained that he had known
Mr.. GruneWald as a friend for
many years. He said Mr.. Maloney
had represented Mr.. Grunewald
in New York in a number of
matters that had nothing to dc
with the subject of the present
Senate inquiry.
Some witnesses have referred
to Mr.. Grunewald as the man
to whom 1t. Shimon allegedly
made reports regarding his ad-
n1itted wire-tapping. Mr.. Grune-
wald has been described in this
earlier testimony as having served
as the link, between 1t. Shimon
and the Senate War Investigating
Committee.
In 1947. the committee, headed
by Senator Brewster, Republican,
OF Maine, conducted an inquiry
through a subcommittee headed
by Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan-into wartime con-
tracts of Howard Hughes, West
Coast millionaire plane builder.

1t. Shimon has denied any in

making reports to Mr.. Grunewald

what he overheard when he tapped
the wires of Hughes associates at
the Mayfower and Carlton Hotels

tify before the grand jury or the

Mr.. Grunewald was located
Wednesday afternoon by the FBI

jury here. He appeared before

Senators Hear Packer
Oppose Reimposition
On Meat Price Curbs

An official of a large meat pack
ing firm told Senate Agriculture
subcommittee today that the ad-
ministration should avoid reim-
posing price controls On meat.
Paul c. Smith, vice president
of Swift & Co.. of Chicago. de-
clared at a hearing on meat
prices:
"You may legally be able to
control prices for a very brief
period, but the only long time ef-
fective control is to maintain a
balance between the supplies
available for consumption and the
money people are willing to pay
for these supplies
He said the way to bring about
this balance was to prevent .nfia-
ton through taxation, credit
curbs, increased consumer savings
and other means.
Mr.. Smith warned that the Ma
ton soon would have to face the
problem of imitation, but added
that his firm did not want to
see the country going down "the
deplorably price ceiling, black
market route"
The official submitted figures on
wholesale meat prices at it's
Washington branch prior to and
since the outbreak of war in
Korea. He said price increases
on such items as hams, pork
loins and bacon were seasonal
and due to supply variations.
The hearing, which opened yes
terday on the subject of meat,
afforded the first opportunity for
the packing industry to express
Its views on Government controls.
Representatives of other packers
who testified yesterday expressed
concern over possibility of Fed
eral controls.
The committee, headed by Sen
ator Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa,
is inquiring into the spread of
meat prices between producers
and consumers since start of the
Korean aggression.
The group was told yesterday
by j. w. Christian. vice president
OF Cudahy Packing Co., that the
meat packing firm makes no profit
on beef sales.
Our markup on beef hasn't
varied over the years, he de-
clared.
Earlier in the day, Senator
Gillette questioned j. A. Ander-
son, price official of Safeway
Stores here, on why figures sub
mitted by the store showed retail
price of sirloin steak ranging be-
tween 88 cents and $1.10 a pound
while prices paid by the store on
carcass beef remained fairly
steady.
MI. Anderson explained con-
sumer resistance developed at the
higher prices. and beef loins
started piling up in it's warehouse.
Safeway then reduced the price
below level of a reasonable profit,
Mr.. Anderson added.

10 See
City Officials on
Civil Defense
Expected to Set Up
His Headquarters
In District Building

Police Inspector John e. Fon-
dahl, newly appointed acting civil
defense director for the District,
planned to confer with District
officials today on his assignment.
The main questions, he pointed
out. are how far civil defense
plans should be carried before a
permanent director is appointed
and the uncertainty of the pend
ing civil defense appropriation.
District officials said they ex-
pected Inspector Fondahl to set
up temporary civil defense Offices
in the District Building and to
carry on with the development of
an overall civil defense plan.
While Inspector Fondahls as
signment is temporary, District
officials are concerned about find
ing a permanent director If Con-
gress appropriates $4,000 instead
of the $290.000 urged by the
Commissioners.
Might Be Limited to Planning.
Although the permanent direc-
tor would get $4,000 under either
appropriation. city officials fear
they will have trouble finding a
man of the stature they want for
the job if they are stuck with
the smaller budget. The man of
their choice. they pointed out,
might not want to take the job
in which his hands were tied for
lack of funds.
If Congress appropriates only
$30,000-as approved by the House
the money would enable the
Commissioners to appoint a direc-
tor and some clerical help, furnish
an office and pay for printing
and binding of International ma
terial.
The director. city officials en-
phasized. would be limited to put
ting plans on paper rather than
getting civil defense set-up in
actual operation.
With a $4,000 appropriation,
the civil defense director could
complete a well-co-ordinated plan
bringing together some 80 diff
ferent plans developed by in
dividuals, agencies and commit
tees working on a variety of civil
defense problems. But the plan
would have to stay on paper for
lack of funds.
Couldn't Buy Equipment.
With the Commissioners, heI
could start working with civil de-
fense officials in neighboring COM
munities to develop an overall
paper plan for the Metropolitan
area but the communications set
up to go with this plan would be
missing.
He could put out some informa-
tional material to guide the public
and train volunteers to be re-
crulted some day. except that he
could not hire any one to write
oAAC SNiOollCc pdLlpIllSLS.
He could negotiate with the
District Red Cross for the train
ing of block wardens later in the
development of the plan when it
is to include a warden service.
And he might be able to get some
auxiliary police and firemen
trained If that could be done
within the present training facili-
ties of the departments. But he
could not equip any of these VOL
unteers once they are trained.
He could bring together experts
and committees working in fields
not covered by District agencies
but he could not make a thor
cugh check on all the city's pri-
vate resources in the way of skilss
and equipment because such a
survey requires some personnel and
he won't be able to hire employees
for that work.
