Dawson StoutIy Denies HeMode
500 Million on u. S. Goods
Says He'll Be Happy
To Testify Here on
Army Surplus DeoIs
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. Mar. 17.-George Daw-
son pictured himself today as Q
free enterpriser who had hit the
market right. He stoutly denied
allegations of a United States con-
gressional investigating committee
that he had made $100 million by
Ireselling United States Army sur
plus in Europe.
Mr.. Dawson said "I'll be happy
to fly to Washington Immediately
to tell the congressional commit
tee all they want to know about
my deals. All they have to do is
to ring up the American Embassy
in Paris and say that they want
to hear me-"
The English trader said he has
perhaps bought and sold as many
as 100000 trucks in Europe since
the end of the war. He said Army
surplus from other countries was
involved in the total.
Tells of 1850 Purchases.
He said the vehicles were recon-
ditioned and sold. Some of the
trucks were salvaged for spare
parts or scrapped. he said.
Mr.. Dawson said that in Feb
ruary, 1850, he bought about IA
900 trucks, huge quantities of
spare parts and scrap from the
German government surplus or
ganization, STEG. This equip
ment had been turned over to
STEG by the United States Army.
Mr.. Dawson said all this equip
ment had been standing in open
lots from 1916 to 1850.
Anybody could have bought
it," he said. "We got it under
fierce competition. If anybody
else had bid 100000 more than
we did, they could have had it.
We bought it fairly"
Mr.. Dawson said he paid So, ,200,-
900 for this lot. He added "if the
market had gone sour we might
have been stuck. But Korea came
along and put the heat on"
Says It Won't Touch Taxpayers.
He said he still had realized no
profit on that deal because in
1850, the American
Army came along and took back
7 900 of the best trucks and tons
of the best spare parts. The Ameri-
cans haven't paid for this material
yet but we feel We'll get fair
crack of the whip from the Ameri-
cans. 1t won't cost the American
taxpayer a penny because we'll
be paid in marks by the West
German government"

Churchill Sounds Call
For General Election
In British Radio Talk
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 1T.-WlnSt0r
Churchill moved the Conservative
Party's campaign for a general
election from Parliament to Brit
aims living rooms tonight with a
radio appeal for "a broad -baseo
government resting on a clear and
strong majority" He warned OF
1.-The dangers of world peace which
come from a weak, divided ano
largely disregarded Britain"
Mr.. Churchill spoke after a
week of Conservative harassing
tactics in the House of Commons
against the Labor government,
which has a majority of six. Con-
servative MPs have brought up
points of order and used other
devices to keep the house meeting
far into the night. Weary Labor
ties must stand by for sudden
votes to prevent defeat of the
government on any issue of con-
fidence.
1.-THE more it is plain that they
(the Laborites) have lost the con-
fldence of the nation, the more
obstinately and desperately they
cling to their Offices on the chance
that something will turn up," Mr..
Churchill said in a political broad
cast over the British Broadcasting
Company.
Says Labor Prolongs Uncertainty.
He accused Prime Minister
Attlee's government of seeking to
prolong this hateful and costly
uncertainty"
1--WE seek to bring 1t to an end"
he said.
I'VE need a government un-
hampered by narrow doctrinal
party dogma, or by interests of
any particular class. able to ad-
dress itself with a fresh eye and
calm resolution to all our prob
lens and deal with them on their
merits"
The Conservative leader said
that IAN entirely new situation
Is now before the country-the
tremendous policy of rearma-
ment."
The Conservatives favor i'm
mense rearmament," he said. But
he questioned whether the Labor
ministers were "the ones to be
trusted with it," He said they
had proved their incapacity.
However, Mr.. Churchill spared
Ernest Bevin, who resigned as
Foreign Secretary last week, from
this attack. He said Mr.. Bevin was
among the great Foreign Secre-
taries of our country" and Britain
has suffered serious loss in Mr.
Bevin's departure.
Hits Steel Naturalization.
Mr.. Churchill said Mr.. Attlee
had destroyed whatever chance
there was of friendly cooperation
in the present Parliament" by 60
ing ahead with the nationalist
ton of steel.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Churchill
said: II have no wish to be too
hard on Mr.. Attlee. He certainly
has a lot to bear. I sincerely trust
his health will stand the strain.
Mr.. Attlee Is due to enter al
hospital next week for a checkup
Mr.. Churchill said he resented
Prime Minister Stalin's recent de-
scription of Mr.. Attlee as war
monger.
Il thought this was quite un-
true" he said. ut was also un-
fair because this word warmonger
was the one that Mr.. Attlee'sI
friends and followers were hop
ing to fasten on me whenever the
election comes. Stain has, there
fore, been guilty not only of an
untruth but of infringement of
