Partisan Politics Keynotes Fight
On Admitting Spain Into Treaty

There is "a. suspicion in pro-
Spanish Congressional quarters
that the Sherman pilgrimage is
nothing more than q gesture de-
signed to induce Congress to stop
somewhere short Of insistence on
full admission of Spain to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion.
1945 Fight Recalled.
Certainly, If President Truman
and the State Department now are
in favor Of making deal with
Franco Spain, they have been very
slow in coming around to that at
titude.
In 1945, the United States was
IA ringleader in barring Fascist ma
|tions especially Spain-from the
United Nations. And In 1916,
United States representatives voted
for a resolution asking all u. N.
members to recall their ambassa-
dors from Spain until such time
as it established a democratic gov
Iernment.
AS late as January, 1850, Secre-
tary of State Acheson said the
Spanish government was "still un-
acceptable to many of the West
lern European nations as an asso-
Iciate in such cooperative projects
as ECA and the Council Of Eu-
rope"
Even after Congress declared
Overwhelmingly in favor of giving
Spain a share of United States
relief, President Truman stood out
against it.
After signing the omnibus ap-
preparation bill, in which the
Spanish-loan stipulation was a
small item, Mr.. Truman said, on
September 6, 1850. that he regard
Led the provision as an "authori-
'Ization" rather than a directive. u
He strongly limited that he was
still against any loan to Spain
i On November 2, 1850, only two
days before the United Nations
lifted its boycott against diplo-
matte relations with Spain, Mr..
Truman told a press conference
that it would be a long, long time
before the United States sent an
4 Ambassador to Madrid.

The row over admission Of
Spain to the North Atlantic De-
fense Organization is deeply
tinged with partisan politics on
both sides of the Atlantic.
For a long time. conservative
American groups - espc ccially
Catholic and veterans organiza-
tionS--have been goading the Tru-
man Administration and Congress
to adopt the Spanish dictatorship
as a blood brother.
And socialists, who dominate
Great Britain and are essential
tt continuance in power Of the
middle-ground third force in
France, are just as dead set
against anything that might tend
to perpetuate the Spanish govern
ment as now constituted.

the Kaiser interests, it said. the
principal item of collateral was

The subcommittee also express
ed some dissatisfaction with the
manner in which the second loan
was used. 1t said the original
purpose of that loan was to pro-

State Can Enforce Order
Closing Jail, Almond Says
By the Assoeio,ed Pres,

RICHMOND, July 19.-Even if
a county doesn't receive State aid
in maintaining its jail, that
doesn't mean it can disregard a
commonwealth order to close the
jail.
Attorney General j. Lindsay Al
mond. jr., ruled yesterday that the
State has the power to enforce its
jail-closing orders. His ruling was
given in the wake of Bland Coun-

when the company applied for the
first loan. Refusal to grant a loan
might have jeopardized an exist
ing $44 million enterprise that
had been started in 1945, it said.
1.-THE alternative to approval of
the first application was liquida-
ton Of tine applicants enterprise. !"
the report explained. Liquidation
would have had serious effects on
the company's employees. dealers,
distributors and suppliers and
their employees. on Henry j. Kaiser
and his associates in what are
known as the Kaiser interests.
The effects undoubtedly would
have been felt In important
American industries other than
the automobile industry. Notwith-
standing these things, the sub
committee believes RFC should
not have made the original loan." /"
The subcommittee said it be-
lieves the loans will be repaid.
But it added that repayment may
ultimately be made from the
proceeds Of defense contracts and
other operations not contemplated
by either the borrower or RFC
when the first loan was made" I"
Procedure Labeled Abnormal.
In the case Of the first loan, the
subcommittee said. RFC directors
followed the abnormal" proceed
ure Of having it reviewed by only
one examiner in the Washington
office. Contrary to usual custom,
lit was not formally considered by
the review committee. the subcom-
|mittee related. Review committee
members were polled individually
by the directors and made no re-
port in writing it was said. Never
|theless. leach member Of the COM
|mittee is said to have expressed
doubt that the loan could be
repaid from earnings" the sub
|committee said.
The second loan application met
the approval of an examiner, who
recommended SIS million instead
of the requested $40 million. But
the review committee recon-
mended that the loan not be
made because of uncertainty re-
garding the borrowers ability
to produce automobiles under It's
then financial structure" the SUBJ
committee stated. The $40 mil
lion loan nevertheless was granted
lby the RFC directors.
The third loan application for
1925 million was granted over
Washington review committee OBJ
ljections based on "the extended
financial condition of the bor-
rover and the fact that the loan
would to some extent at least ap-
pear to circumvent Regulation w,
promulgated by the Federal Re-
serve Board in its effort to combat
Imitation"
Explanation Criticized.
The subcommittee criticized
lRFC for having given a "less than
complete" public explanation OF
reasons for granting the second
loan Of SO million. The agency's
announced reasons were to help
provide employment, assist small
businesses, increase production
land promote economic stability

Mason Paid Expenses.
They also said Mason paid their
hotel bills while they were in
Washington. their train fare from
Philadelphia, and bought both of
them new clothes 'to impress the

introduce them. But. they added,
they were never introduced to any

Mr.. Katamy also revealed he
introduced Mason to the New York
priests and later learned they had
turned over to the so-called WASH
ington representative about $780,
900.
Under questioning by Francis
Flanagan. chief committee coun-
sci. Mr.. Katamy said he once ac-
companied Father Heuko to Wash

he was carrying money to turn
over to Mason. When asked if
the amount Father Heuko was
carrying amounted to $23, 900, the
witness replied he did not knUp

No Federal Officials Involved.
He said Mason met them at the
airport with taxi driver he al

into Washington they stopped at
the Engineers Building at Gravel

Mr.. Katamay said Mason went
into the building and he had the
impression that this was for the
purpose of turning over money to
officials. It was emphasized in
all the testimony that there was
no evidence whatever involving
Government officials in Mason's
activities.
Mr.. Katamay and his wife said
they got the impression that
Mason was a wealthy man. Mr..
Katamay said Mason lived at the

tip hotel employees as much as $40
