Asks Sawyer for Data
On Casey Ship Deal
By Robert K. Walsh

Chairman Edwin G. Johnson OF
the Senate Commerce Committee
said today he has asked Secretary
of Commerce Sawyer for details
of a ship deal disclosed by the
Senate Banking Subcommittee in
vestigating the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Former Representative Joseph
E. Casey and several others, &C
cording to recent testimony before
the subcommittee. made profits
totaling $2.8 million from the sale
of five tankers they bought from
the Maritime Commission.
Mr.. Casey, now an attorney here,
Is to testify before the subcom-
mittee again this week. The SUBJ
committee, headed by Senator
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkansas
has criticized him and others in
| its study Of influence exerted on
RFC.
Further Action Considered.
Senator johnson said the infor-
nation he hopes to get from Sec
retary Sawyer would help his
committee decide whether to take
further action on the ship trans
action. His letter asked:
/. The names of those who ne.
gotiated the deal.
2. "The history of reported un-
successful efforts by the Standard
Oil Co. of New Jersey to obtain
the same or similar vessels" from
the Maritime Commission.
8. Whether the Maritime Com
mission knew Mr.. Casey intended
to lease the ships to Standard Oil
Mr.. Casey has explained that the
company he headed leased the
tankers to Standard Oil for about
four years before selling them.
List of Other Deals Asked.
4. A list of any other deals with
the Maritime Commission involv-
ing Mr.. Casey.
5. Whether E. Merl Young and
Joseph H. Rosenbaum ever were
connected with. instrumental in
or negotiated for any person in
the sale Of ships by the Maritime
Commission" now the Maritime
Administration in the Commerce
Department. Similar information
lis sought about L. N. Rosenbaum
and Francis N. Rosenbaum, father
and brother of Joseph Rosenbaunl.
Senator johnson also noted that
"tax benefits will accrue" to Mr..
Casey and his associates who
bought the ships. He asked Sec
Iretary Sawyer whether the COM
mission considered possible tax
benefits in fixing a sale price on
the ships.
Robertson Agrees With Byrd.
Mr.. Casey told the Banking sub
committee that Mr.. Young and
Joseph Rosenbaum were small
stockholders in the company. Mr..
Young and Mr.. RoSenbaum have
been mentioned frequently by the
subcommittee in its investigation
of influence on RFC.
Another Democratic Senator,
meanwhile. said he believed RFC
has outliyed, its usefulness.
Senator Robertson of Virginia
added, however. that a bill to
abolish the agency probably could
not be enacted over a presiden-
tial veto. Congress will have to
pass some type Of RFC reorgani-
cation, he said
He declared in an interview in
Richmond yesterday that he and
his Virginia colleague, Senator
Byrd. "are in virtually complete
agreement on the fact that the
economy Of the Nation does not
now require the RFC."

Rescue Workers
Still Seek Body
OF Drowning Victim

The body of Raymond Bowers,
aged 40, of West Leisenring, Pa,
was still being sought in Deep Greek
Lake this morning.
Bowers was in a small cupboard
motorboat with three other persons
when it overturned at 500 p. m
Saturday, about midway between
Thayer's Barn and the Deep Greek
bridge.
The other three persons were iden-
titled as Walter Shultz, Dunbar, Pa;
Edward Klippi, and Warren Rode
HEAVIER, both West Leisenring. They
were unable to swim and hung to the
upturned boat until they were rescued
by persons in passing motorboats.
Bowers was last seen going down
at the spot where the motorboat cap
sized, opposite the Karl Kahl cabin
and approximately in midstrcam.
Members of the Oakland Fire De-
partment were notified and fourteen
responded and searched until 8 O'Clock
that evening with graphing hooks
when the water became so rough that
the search was abandoned until the
next morning. Firemen spent several
hours or more there on Sunday. State
police also aided in the search.
The body sank in so or 60 feet OF
water, and old timers reported that
it was at the spot almost directly
over the old bridge that crossed Deer
Creek, before the hydro-electric dan
was built, and that the terrain there
was extremely rough, full of steer
banks and many tree stumps that
were not removed when the water be-
gan to rise.
On Tuesday the U. S. Navy was
asked to send a diver and equipment
here because of the waters depth, but
the request could not be granted.
Rough waters have hampered con-
tinuous search for the body, but
Corporal Samuel Conrad of the State
Police, who is stationed here, was
arranging for continuous effort tC
be made by volunteers from severa
fire companies in this vicinity.
1t was the first drowning at the
Lake this year. Bowers is survived
by his wife and four children.
