Senate Crime Report
Due 10 Throw Book
AT 0'Dwyer Monday
Committee Source Says
Language Is Strong
Despite Final Revisions
BY the Associated Press

A Senate Crime Committee
source said today the groups
coming report will pull no
punches" One of the highlights
will be the committees findings
on its sensational investigation in
New York.
Members of the committee and
its staff, still working on the re-
port, called another meeting to-
day after sending a sixth draft
Iof the document to Government
printers late last night.
The report is due for submis-
sion to the Senate Monday
Chairman Kefauver said today ii
would be filed then despite a de-
sire by some members of the staff
to hold it for further revision.
A section of the report dealing
with the committees New York
probe was said to use some
strong language" about William
IO'Dwyer, former New York Mayor
who now is Ambassador to Mexico.
Sting Will Be Retained.
"It really hits him with the
book" said committee source
who was unwilling to be quoted
by name. Although the New York
section has been rewritten in the
latest draft, this source told
reporter that the changes were of
a perfecting nature and in no
way took out the sting.
There was no evidence of any
political division within the COM
mittee over the report conclusions
reached during the committees
year-long,. Nationwide probe of
the underworld.
Some dissension among the
committees staff was evident,
however, to those in close touch
with the groups work.
A good deal of the report was
drafted in New York and some
members of the committees
Washington staff were understood
to have had their first chance yes
terday to read this section.
Some Conclusions Unsupported.
They repeatedly felt that some
of the conclusions had been based
on charges that could not be sup
ported by evidence.
Although they would prefer that
presentation of the document to
the Senate be delayed, they were
understood to feel that it still is,
possible to whip it into acceptable
shape by Monday.
The Crime Committees life was
extended last week until Septem-
Der l, and some members feel
that it no longer is necessary toI
meet the original April 80 dead
line for filing the report.
Chairman Kefauver, however,
plans to turn over the chairman
ship of the committee on Tues
day to Senator O'Conor, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, and is anxious
to file the groups findings and
legislative recommendations prior
to that. This is also true of
HALEY. the committees
chief counsel, who likewise plans
to quit at the end of The month.

Robert A. Vogeler said today about
his trial before a. Hungarian
court:

he told newsmen:

that I had many good friends and

Vogeler had obvious difficulty

Stassen Asks Truman
To Settle Macarthur
Feud for Good Of U. 5.
Letter Coils on President
To Extend Invitation
To Talk With General

Republican Leader Harold E.
Stassen today urged President
Truman to bring about recon-
ciliation with Gen. Macarthur
"for the good of America"
Mr.. Stassen's appeal was made
in letter he delivered personally
to the White House.
"The issue of peace and war
must be above personalities or
partisanship if America is to ex-
ercise constructive leadership
among the free nations" Mr..
Stassen wrote.
II therefore ask with humility
that you consider extending an
Invitation to Gen. Macarthur tp
meet and confer with you. I have
not spoken to him but I am Ger
tain from my knowledge of him
that he would at once respond"
To Seek G. o. p. Support.
At news conference after 60
ing to the White House, Mr.. Stas-
sen said he planned to confer with
Republican leaders in Congress to
obtain support for his reconcilia-
ton proposal.
He said he did not see and had
mot requested an appointment
with MI. Truman personally. The
letter was delivered to Matthew
j. Connolly, one of the Presidents
secretaries. Mr.. Stassen said he
discussed briefly with Mr.. Con-
nelly the background of the
spreading Macarthur controversy.
Mr.. Stassen said he had in
formed Gen. Macarthur by tele-
gram of his move.
White House Move Urged.
II feel very deeply that for the
good of America a reconciliation
should be brought about between
you and the President" the tele-
gram said. Il close with admira-
tion and respect"
The White House has made it
clear since the Macarthur con-
troversy developed that Mr.. Tru-
man would see the general only
if a request was received for an
appointment. In Milwaukee Gen.
Macarthur was quoted as saying
he would consider an invitation
as an order.
Mr.. Stassen said such a recon-
ciliation as he is urging is "the
first step" toward re-establishing
an ''unpartisan" foreign policy
along the lines consistently advo-
Gated by the late Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan.
Mr.. Stassen came here from
Philadelphia, where he is presi-
dent of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, especially TO seek support
Tor his proposal.
He planned to confer during the
day with several Republican mem
bers OF Congress. including Sena-
tor Millikin of Colorado, Smith of
New Jersey, and possibly with
Senator Taft of Ohio and Repre-
sentative Martin of Massachu-
sets.
He said he would also urge in
his conference with the Republi-
can leaders very careful con-
sideration" of speeches and state
mentS on the Macarthur contro-
versy by both Democrats and Re-
'publicans.
Mcfarland Denies Charges.
In Congress today, Republican
charges that Truman policies will
lead to appeasement and stale
mate in Korea brought a sharp
denial from Senate Majority
Leader Mcfarland.
At the same time, Senate Mi
nority Leader Wherry struck back
at a Democratic claim that the
Republicans have tried to make

missal of Gen. Macarthur.

sides awaited the start of hearings

THERE are still new worlds
