1t Doesn't Add Up

In formal testimony before a Senate sub
committee, Democratic National Chairman Will
liam M. Boyle, jr, has repeated his denial Of
any wrongdoing or impropriety in connection
with the RFC loan to the American Lithofod
Corporation
When he had finished, Republican Senator
Nixon of California said: when you contend
that you did nothing, never discussed the Ltho-
fold loan and had no influence with RFC, it
just doesn't add up." That is an appraisal of
Mr.. Boyles testimony with which most people
will agree.
This is what the record shows:
About February /, 1949, Mr. Boyle was re-
tanned at $500 month as Washington counsel
for Lithofold. He cannot remember what serv-
ices, if any, he rendered in exchange for the
$3.50 that was paid him during the 10-week
period he served as counsel for the corporation.
On February 8, 1949, MIR. Boyle became vice
chairman of the Democratic National Committee,
serving without compensation On April 20, 1949,
he became paid official of the committee, and
gave up his private law practice.
On February %, 1949 Mr.. Boyle arranged
for a conference between Lithofold officials and
Harley Hise, then chairman of the RFC. So far
as the record shows this was the only service he
ever rendered the corporation. The arranging
of this appointment was not mentioned by
Mr.. Boyle in a statement issued August 4. In
that statement he said, Il had nothing to do
with the granting of the loan"
Mr.. Boyle continues to insist that he did
not discuss the Lithofold loan with any one at
RFC and exerted no pressure or influence to
secure favorable action on it.
The proposed loan had been turned down
three times by the RFC. Three days after the
conference arranged by Mr.. Boyle, however, the
RFC approved an $4,000 working capital loan
to acknowledgements of total loan of
$565 900.
There has been no plausible explanation of
the reasons which brought about this change of
heart. Mr. Boyle insists, however, that his
appearance in the picture had nothing to do
with it, and that somehow, just doesn't add up.

The Desk Officers Case for FIqht Paw

ture commanders, would endeavor to the
utmost to avoid administrative tours of
duty. This would have the added result
Of producing flying commanders who
know nothing of administration, and ad-
ministrative officers for assistants who
know little about flying. This latter
result could, of course, be avoided by
ordering flying officers to adminiStra-
tive tours Of duty. It is obvious, how
ever, to anyone who has held super
visory position, that satisfactory work
cannot be obtained from someone who
is forced into job against his wishes.
It seems safe to assume that Senator
Douglas would prefer to have the
strongest air force possible, for the
money involved, in these critical times;
and that he would prefer that the on
GERS in the Pentagon who direct and
guide that air force be the best available
for that purpose. Under these circum-
stances. 1t is difficult to understand why
he would sponsor an amendment which
would undoubtedly lower the caliber of
the USAF officers In the Pentagon
Since the economy aspects of the
amendment have been shown to be
highly suspect, 1t must be concluded
that Senator Douglas has allowed his
ill-founded prejudice and emotions to
sway his better judgment.
Administrative Flying Officer
Editors Note: In seeking to prevent
desk officers from boarding what he
called the flight pay gravy plane"
Senator Douglas first proposed that
the minimum time in the air for flight
pay be 40 hours a month The Senate
cut this to 20 hours before agreeing to
his amendment Senator Douglas stated
that the Cove nment raid 5000 million
in gasoline and maintenance costs in
order to lay out an additional S75 mil
lion year in flight pay. He recognized
the fact that flying officers are apt
to get rusty at desk jobs. But it would
save money. in the long run, he argued,
if administrative officers did not try to
fly for pay few hours each month, but
rather were sent to refreSher flying
schools when about to be reassigned to
flying jobs. The 30-cents-a-gailon figure
for aviation gasoline, cited in the fore
going letter, does not balance with
Boiling Fields price list, quoting the
most expensive plane gas, 115-145 oc-
tame, at 22.9 cents gallon. Boiling esti-
mates it costs $37.66 an hour to operate
a CAT. 1851 for CAS-. $5513 for a
BPS. $62.92 for an F-5l and $12018
