No. were they?" Mr.. Caudle
countered.
Mr.. DeWind said that it was
his information that the liens had
been removed the day after the
Caudle telephone call to Mr.. Oil
phant. When the liens were i'm
posed and the date of the tele-
phone conversation were not
brought out.
MIR. Caudle said that in addition
to Mr.. Oliphant those going on
one or the other of the Florida
fishing trips included James Ben
nett. director of the Bureau of
Prisons; James Barnes, at one
time an administrative assistant
to the late President Roosevelt

associates.
Mr.. Caudle testified that they

man, Lou Pollock. who operated
the Royal Ponciana Apartments.
Earlier. Mr.. Caudle vehemently
denied that he had discouraged

Mr.. Caudle defended his ac-
tions in disqualifying himself from
the case of the businessman,
Keith M. Beatty, a Charlotte taxi
fleet operator. as an effort "to do
the right thing" and avoid rumors
being spread against him.
He reiterated that he tele-
phoned Mr.. Oliphant to say that
he would disqualify himself if
the Beatty case should be sent to
the Justice Department for prose-
cution.

The case was never sent 20 the

at a time when Mr.. Bertotti was
on vacation.
The Secret Service agents said
Bertotti cashed As checks worth
$4,26910 which had been made
out to Mr.. Unger.
Special Agent Joseph j. Ellis
told Commissioner Lawrence that
Bertotti had admitted participat-
ing in the fraud.
Special investigators for the
Veterans Administration, who
make periodic checks on the time
sheets, first discovered that Mr..
Unger wasn't with the VA any
more. Several times when the
investigators came to the special
insurance project they noted that
Mr.. Unger was absent, although
the time sheet showed he was at
work. Each time, however, Ber-
totti explained that the missing
clerk was on an errand, the
agents said.
Finally the investigators became
so suspicious they questioned Ber-
totti's subordlnates in the super
visor's office and learned that Mr..
Unger had resigned.
The VA investigators then called
in the Secret Service to track
down the man who was cashing
Mr.. Unger's checks.
Mr. Unger was entirely unaware
that his name was being carried
on the Federal payroll after he
had formally resigned.
VA investigators, it was learned
have been working intensively
since the fraud was discovered to
determine whether any other
persons who aren't there are being
carried on the Federal payroll.

Democratic Leader .
For Indiana Sues U. 5.
For S93,5OO Legal Fee
BY the Associated Press

Frank M. McHale, Democratic
committeeman for Indiana, who
reputedly had a hand in picking
the party's new chairman, is
suing the Government for a $685.
500 legal fee.
Mr.. McHale claims the sum is
due him for winning a $685. ,00O
award from the Government for
the Empire Ordnance Co. in a
war contract settlement case in
1949.
Empire voted him 10 per cent
OF the award for his work. But
instead of paying the award the
Army has applied it against a
$l,l63.475 bill it claims the firm
owes for excess profits on other
contracts.
Mr.. McHale's suit was filed last
December in the Court of Claims,
but came to light only when the
New York Herald Tribune pub
llshed stories on Mr.. McHale's re-
lations with Empire Ordnance.
The Herald Tribune said Mr..
McHale actively used his influ-
ence in Washington" to help En-
pire get Government contracts and
intervened frequently with Gov
eminent officials on behalf of the
company. 1t described him as "a
central figure for more than 10
years in one of the Capitals most
unsavory cases involving influence
peddling."
Mr.. McHale, who is credited
with influencing the choice of
Frank Mckinney of Indianapolis
as new Democratic chairman, told
reporters in Indianapolis yester-
day he had invested money in
Empire Ordnance but had done
only legal work for the firm.

Internal Rivalry Blamed
In Arrest of SIonsky
BY the Associated Press

American officials and Czech
exile leaders voiced belief today
the arrest Of Czech Vice Premier
Rudolf Slansky was due to an
internal struggle for power in the
Communist-run country.
DR.. Juraj Slavik, former Czech
Ambassador to the United States,
said Slansky was a rival of Pres
ident Klement Gottwald.
"Gottwald wants to be No.
alone" DR.. Slavik said. "Slansky
tried to be more Communist than
Gottwald. He lost out. That's
the way things happen in Com
munist countries"

-
Communists, and the par
ty rolls were sharply reduced.
Some 100000 were cut off the par
ty membership list as unreliable.
and there were waves of arrests.
Clements has been in Jail for
months. but as yet there has been
no trial.
The economic troubles, aggra-
waited by restrictions imposed by
the United States and other West
ern nations. grew steadily. To
build the economy. the Czech
Communists began conscripting
white collar workers and women
for work in the mines and heavy
industry.
May Have Been Expendable.
The arrest of Slansky may be
tied to Moscow diSpleasure with
the failure of the Czech Com
munists to solve their economic
situation. If it was to be Gottwald
or Slansky. evidently Slansky
was found to be expendable. even
if Moscow might not wholly ap-
prove of the move.
In removing Slansky as secre-
tary-general in September. Gott-
wald carefully pointed out to the
Central Committee that lin the
way the great and wise Stain is
teaching us. we shall boldly pro-
gresS on the road to socialism in
our country, in spite Of everything
and everybody"
Slansky has been a Communist
since 1921 and a member of its
ruling hierarchy since 1929. He
had been a power in the party for
more than 20 years. He returned
from Moscow to Czechoslovakia in
1914 as a member Of the parti-
san army's general staff and his
power was enhanced. Later he was
to use it to get rid of the Com
munists who had remained in
Czechoslovakia throughout the
Nazi occupation, or who had fed
to London-as Clements had
and established contacts with
Westerners.
Slansky played a big part in the
Red coup Of February, 1948. He
was a moving force behind the
action committees" which seized
the power.

the general proposals along the
line of those made by the United
Nations in January, 1851.
1t has been suggested that there
is a fundamental issue between
those who think that Europe is
more important and those who
think that Asia is more impor-
tant. Certainly my position is not
an extreme one on the subject OF
Asia.
Broadly speaking, my quarrel is
with those who wish to go all-out
in Europe. even beyond our Ca
pacity, and who at the same time
refuse to apply our general pro-
gram and strategy to the Fa1
East.
Says NatiOnaliSts Hampered.
In Greece we moved in with
overwhelming support for the
Greek government, even though
lit at first had strong reactionary
tendencies. We gave it hundreds
Iof millions of dollars to suppress
Communists within the country.
But in China we hampered the
Nationalist government. We tried
to force it to take Communists
into the cabinet. The State De-
partment spoke of Communists as
agrarian reformers and cut off
arms from the Nationalist govern
ment at the most crucial time.
Contrary to the whole theory of
the containment of communism,
where it could be done without
serious cost or danger, the admin
istration proposed to surrender
Formosa to the Communists and
has constantly fllrted with that
idea.
Even though we were engaged
in a bitter and dangerous war
the administration refused to fight
that war with all the means at
its command. on the theory that
we might incite Russia to start a
third world war. But in Europe
we have not hesitated to risk a
third world war over and over
again.
Constant Danger of War.
I think we have to recognize
that the policy we have adopted
OF the containment of communism
involves a constant danger that
Russia may begin a third world
war. But it is beyond our capac-
ity to invade China with Amer
lean soldiers. and such a program
is not included in MacArthur's
suggestions or any one else's
There is no possible threat to ST.
IBERIA, therefore, from anything we
may do in China.
On the other hand, in Europe
the building up of a great army
surrounding Russia from Norway
to Turkey and Iran might pro-
duce a fear of the invasion of Rus
sia or some of the satellite coun-
tries regarded by Russia as essen
tial to the defense of Moscow.
Certainly our program in Eu-
rope seems to me far more likely
to produce war with Russia than
anything We have done in the
East. I am only asking for the
same policy in the Far East as
in Europe.

Virginia Personal Property
Tax Returns Denied Public
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Dec. 12.-Attor-
ney General ]. Lindsay Almond,
jr., ruled yesterday that tangible
personal property tax returns
may not be made available for
public inspection.
H Mr.. Almonds ruling, given to
commemorative Attorney r. v.
Snead of Rappahannock County,
was based on administrative prac-
tice of the State Department of
Taxation and section of the Vir-
ginia code.
The latter provides punishment
not to exceed a $500 fine or six
months imprisonment for revenue
officers or their employees If they
divulge any information acquired
by them "in respect to the trans
actions. property, income or busi-
ness of any person. firm or cor
poration while in the perform
ance" Of their public duties.
The statutes prohibition does
not apply to matters required by
law to be entered on tax assess
ment books.
Mr.. Snead in asking for the
ruling said several taxpayers and
members Of his County Board of
Supervisors had sought to exam
inc individual returns but the
commissioner Of the revenue had
refused these requests on the ad-
vice Of the State Department of
Taxation.

Excess Scrap Metal
Freed for Industry

Commerce Secretary Sawyer is
sued a proclamation yesterday
ordering that Government-held
surplus stocks of aluminium, cop
per. lead and zinc scrap be made
available to industry. instead Of
being transferred to the strategic
stockpile.
Government agencies acquiring
such excess scrap will no longer
be required to declare the mater
ialS for the strategic stockpile.
"A lack of secondary and scrap
aluminium, copper, lead and zinc
and their base alloys is limiting
production essential to the needs
of our defense effort and our
civilian economy" Sawyer pointed
out.
1t is estimated that about 4
million pounds of non-ferrous
scrap currently in the hands of
Government agencies will be re-
leased to industry, as a result of
