Mr.. Schulberg, in his testimony,
said:
1--WE feel the regulation would
be in the public interest and in
the interest of the small retailer
who is being driven to the wall"
He pointed out that direct mail
advertising of liquor prices is not
permitted nor are hand bills
permitted. The proposed ban is
consistent with these present
regulations. he said. This is a
point also made by Mr.. Payne.
Among those opposing the pro-
posed regulations were repre-
sentatives of five large liquor
dealers here and Peyton R. Evans,
representing the Washington Pub
fishers Association.
Wholesale liquor dealers, who
have been trying for several years
to get a rule banning price adj
vertising as a means of blocking
cut-rate sales, did not put in an
appearance at the hearing.
Peyton r. Evans, appearing for
the Washington Publishers AS
ISOLATION said it opposed the regu-
lations because they were con-
trary to public policy and against
the best interest Of citizens and
visitors.
Seen as Censorship.
Mr.. Evans also declared 1t was
an attempt to suppress free speech
and censor material appearing in
the press for the benefit for some
liquor dealers" He said this right
of freedom of the press could not
be suspended for these dealers.
He pointed out that Mr.. Payne
previously had been against regu-
lations to ban price advertising.
He said the Commissioners had
been given no reason by the ABC
Board chairman for his change
and would like to know what the
reasons were.
Also opposing the regulations
were Gordon M. Atherholt, repre-
senting the Northwest Council of
Citizens Associations and the
Palisades Citizens Association;
Thomas P. Scott, representing the
CJo,,or Dorly Cifi1o,oc, Accnoio tioY,

Fl. Eustis Army Officer
Arrested in Ohio in
Payroll Theft Case
By the Assoe;oted Press


MANSFIELD, Ohio, Feb. IAN
Army finance officer, who the FBI
says has admitted embezzling $12,-
900 in payroll funds from Fort
Eustis, Va. was slated to face ar
raignment in Cleveland today.
First 1t. Donald w. Spencer. 80,
a native of Somerset, Ohio, was ar
rested on a tip from the FBI. Po-
lice said he had only $2,560 in cash
on his person when he was appre-
hended.
The officer admitted stealing the
money and said he squandered the
rest on gambling and high living
since he left Fort Eustis January
81, said Ray j. Abbaticchio, jr.,
special agent in charge of the
Cleveland FBI.
The FBI tipped police on the
license number of a car Spencer
was driving through Ohio toward
Toledo. Spencer said he bought
the car February 2 in Raleigh,
N. c.. for more than 1000 of the
stolen money, Mansfield police
said. Under an overcoat beside
him in the car, police found a As
automatic pistol.
When he was arrested Spencer
was dressed in civilian clothes, DO
lice said.
A warrant charging Spencer
with embezzlement of $4,000 in
Government funds was issued in
Newport News, Va, shortly after
the officer failed to show up to pay
off members of a company at Fort
Eustis.
Spencer's wife and two children
have been residing in suburban
section of Warwick County, Va,
near Newport News.

As Directors Of RFC
Awaited by Senator'S

Senators today awaited possible
denominations of Reconstruction
Finance Corp. directors, and
President Truman apparently
awaited a chance to talk with
Senate subcommittee members
about their charges involving RFC.
The White House, however, gave
no indication that names of the
five directors would be resubmit-
ted to the Senate today.
This is the 4Oth day of the new
Congress. Some authorities say
the President must either re-
name the directors or appoint sue
cesSors, because the Senate did
not act on the nominations dur
ing the 81st Congress. The Gen
eral Accounting Office said a rul-
ing by the Attorney General might
be necessary to determine whether
RFC directors can draw pay after
today if the President does not
resubmit the nominations.
Truman May Meet Fulbright.
The possible meeting between
President Truman and the sub
committee headed by Senator
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkan-
sas, might result from a hope
voiced by the President at his
news conference last Thursday.
Senator Fulbright returned to-
day from Florida and has said
there will be no letdown in the
subcommittee investigation of
influence and favoritism in RFC
lending operations. The sub
committee reported that a White
- House aide, Donald S. Dawson,
and other outsiders Influenced or
attempted to influence three RFC
directors.
President Truman called the
report asinine. He said he would
like to talk with Senator Full
bright and other members as
soon as the chairman returned
to Washington.
Inquiry to Be Broadened.
Senator Fulbright is expected
to call the subcommittee into SEES
sion within a day or two to decide
on date for public hearings.
Some members of the subcommit-
tee have urged that they be
started this week instead of next
week, as had been scheduled.
Subcommittee sources also have |
disclosed that the inquiry will
be broader than originally |
planned.
Senator Fulbright has spon-
sored a bill to abolish the Board |
of Directors and establish a sin
gle administrator. President Tru-
man favors transferring the RFC
to the Commerce or Treasury
Department.

For India Envoy Post
BY the As,eeiaied Prs.s

Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican. of Iowa said today he is
concerned that Chester Bowles
might be "a square peg in a round
hole" as ambassador to India.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
of Alabama declared, however.
that he believes Mr.. Bowles Is
qualified for the strategic post.
The Alabama lawmaker added
that ne looks for the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to
recommend that the Senate con-
firm President Truman'S nomina-
ton of the former Connecticut
Governor and World War II price
administrator.
Senators Sparkman and Hicken-
looper are members Of the Foreign
Relations unit. They expressed
their views to a reporter in ad-
vance Of a closed meeting Of the
committee today to consider the
appointment.
Senator Sparkman headed a
subcommittee which last week
voted 3 to 2 approval of the
nomination. For confirmation
were he and two other Democrats
Senators Fulbright (Arakansas)
and Gillette Gowa). The ballots
against Mr.. Bowles were cast by
Republican Senator's Brewster
(Maine) and H. Alexander Smith
(New Jersey.
Importance of Post Stressed.
Senator Brewster has said India
is such a key area in the battle to
contain communism that this
country should be represented at
New Delhi by a trained diplomat.
Senator Hickenlooper said he
feels much as Senator Brewster
does. He said he was inclined to
oppose confirmation but could be
persuaded to vote for Mr.. Bowles
"if the weight of the evidence is
on that side"
Tomorrow the Sparkman sub
committee will turn to further
study of Mr.. Truman's nomina-
tion Of Ambassador-at-large Philip
c. Jessup as a delegate to the
United Nations.
Mccarthy to Resume.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin is scheduled to re.
turn to the witness stand to con-
tinue outlining why he is against
the Jessup appointment.
Senator Mccarthy told the SUBJ
committee last Thursday that Mr..
Jessup, long a target for the
Wisconsin lawmaker, has been as
sociated with six Communist
front organizations.
Senator Mccarthy was only
about one-quarter through his
prepared statement when the
hearing was recessed so he could
keep a series of out-of-town
speaking engagements.
