81 Million Transfer by O'Dwyer
Called Part of Lend-Leuse Deal

Exercised It's option IN accordance
with the lend-lease settlement
agreement to accept payment in
local currency for the purpose of
meeting operating expenses in
Mexico.
This check was deposited to
the credit of the Government of
the United States in the Mexico
City branch of the National City
Bank of New York.
THE transaction was carried
out by the Embassy in Mexico City
with the full knowledge and in
accordance with instructions of
the Department of State. In no
way did it deviate from accepted
practices in such cases."
Cancelled in Mexico City.
Mr.. McDermott said the original
ISL million check was Cancelled by
the Mexican government in Mex
leo City when it was exchanged
for the peso draft, with the check
never being sent to New York.
Officials speculated that the re-
port of a 81 million credit being
deposited to Ambassador ODwy-
Ier's account in New York and
then later withdrawn, might have
originated from an incomplete
version of the facts in the case.
The Chase National Bank has a
branch in Mexico City.
Mr.. ODwyer two days ago
branded the Daily News story as
AN "abominable lie." but did not
mention anything about the lease

expressed fear that such steps

bring retaliatory action against

They proposed, instead, less

conviction and urging the Gov
ernment to take all possible &C
tions to free him.
Would Sever Relations.
The proposal to get tough in
the Oats case was sponsored by
Representative Armstrong, Repub-
lican, of Missouri. It would put
Congress on record as favofing i'm

relations with Czechoslovakia. If.
within 80 days, Mr.. Oats still was
in jail, American nationals would
be evacuated with view to break
ing off diplomatic relations.

Armstrong and others argued.

Communist nations from resorting
to international gangsterism" in
the future.

and the case of William Vogeler,
American businessman recently
released from imprisonment in
Hungary, demonstrated that So
Iviet satellites may be expected to
resort to such kidnapping" prac-
tlces If they can be "appeased'' by
American concessions. Mr.. Vog-
Ieler was freed through diplomatic
action.
Chairman Richards of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee spon-
Isorlng a less severe resolution
largued that the Armstrong pro-
Iposal might jeopardize rather than
help Mr.. Oats. He told the House
ut also might result in reprisals
|againSt other Americans in Czech
Ioslovakia.
Mr., Richards urged his COL
leagues to keep our feet on the
ground"
Oats is in Jail and we want to
get him out" Mr.. Richards said
He proposed what opponents called
the kid glove" diplomatic ap-
proach.
The Foreign Affairs resolution
would put Congress on record as
being indignant and requesting
the United States and the United
Nations to take "all possible ac-
ton" to release Mr.. Oats. Its
hackers claim the weight of public
opinion eventually may persuade
the Czech government to free Mr.
Oats.
Regardless of what type of
resolution is passed, it would have
no binding effect since it would
constitute an expression of con-
gressional sentiment without re-
qulrlng positive action.

Health Officials Warn
Korea Veterans Nav
Spread Malaria in US,

A Public Health Service warn
ing against a possible increase in
malaria was reiterated today in
letters to all State and territorial
health officers.
The letters followed kilograms
sent yesterday by the health serv-
ice, pointing out several States
report returning Korean service
men have suffered attacks of the
disease.
Scientists pointed out that
Korean veterans returning with
malaria could cause spread of the
disease in areas where there are
Anopheles mosquitoes. These in
sects act as carriers from infected
persons to others.
In the latest Public Health
Service bulletin on communicable
diseases, 79 cases of malaria are
reported by the Arkansas Board
OF Health. Seven cases and two
probable ones were reported earlier
by health officials in Mississippi
Officials of the Army Medical
Center report about 60 cases of
malaria have been discovered
among Korea veterans who have
been patients at Walter Reed Hos
pltal since the outbreak of the war,
All but S per cent of these were
suffering malaria for the first time.
A Public Health Service spokes-
man said the situation is not re-
garded as critical. He said health
officials are not worried about
control of the disease, but pointed
out that every new case is a res
ervoir" for possible infection of
others.
The battle against malaria was
a long and costly one," he said
We don't want the disease to get
started again."

PHILADELPHIA. Miss, Aug
I3.-Southern Democrats will boil
the national party again before
they accept President Truman tt
head the 1852 party ticket, Gov
Fielding Wright of Mississippi
predicts.
Gov. Wright, 194S States Rights
candidate for Vice President. said
the South is opposed to the Presi-
dents program, which he termed
centralized and socialistic.
He said he did not think the
South would accept President Tru-
man as a candidate for reelection
under any conditions.
Gov. Wright made the COM
mentS last night in a telephone
interview from Jackson, Miss,
when he was asked to elaborate on
a speech earlier in the day here.
Gov. Wright forecast another
Southern rebellion if the national
party follows its 1948 course. He
said the national administration
had not soft-pedaled it's civil
rights proposals, but that a coali-
ton of Southern Democrats and
Republicans had blocked them.
Lists Likely Choices.
He listed Gov. James Byrnes of
South Carolina, Senator Russell
of Georgia and Senator Byrd of
Virginia, all Democrats, as likely
leaders.
Gov. Wright said, THE South is
opposed to the police state the

tees Commission would set up."

rect supervision of the assistant

Mrs. Miller resigned as editor of

This followed a dispute. she told

publisher of the Chicago Tribune,
which owns the Times Herald.
Mrs. Miller and Mr.. Tankersley

that portion of material" car
ried in the tabloid was a reprint
from the Congressional Record ot
Senator McCarthy'S remarks in

investigation headed by Mr.
Tydings.
"Other legislative activities OF

The State Department said to-
day that the reported transfer o1
81 million by Ambassador William
ODWyer to a New York bank from
Mexico last spring actually was
a lend-lease payment by the Mex
Iican government that never
reached New York.
The New York Daily News re-
ported recently that the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee
was investigating the transaction
The State Department said to-
day that there was absolutely
no basis in fact" for some press
reports that have created the un-
fortunate impression that the
transaction was extraordinary and
Ieven irregular
Michael j. McDermott, State
Department press officer, gave re-
porters this description of what
he said actually happened:
"On March 3, 1851, the govern
ment of Mexico delivered to the
Embassy in Mexico City a dollar
draft in the amount of ST million
drawn on the Chase Nationa
Bank, City of New York, as ar
installment payment on it's lend
lease obligation to the United
States.
Made Out to ODwyer.
"The draft was made out tc
William O'Dwyer, Ambassador OF
the United States of America, in
his official capacity.
This draft was returned to the
Mexican government in exchange
for a check in the amount OF
the peso equivalent of ST million

In particular, the committee
referred to Mr.. Surine's account
Iof the circumstances under which
he left the FBI as a special agent
prior to joining Senator Nc
ICarthy's staff. The point arose
over whether Mr.. Surine re
signed" or was separated from the
Federal service after he was
charged with violating regulations
as to FBI procedures.

Sey.
/ They reached unanimous agree
ment on the report before it was
submitted to Chairman Gillette,
who did not participate in the
hearings but concurred in the
report.
By-PaSsed Treasurer.
Mr.. Jonkel told the Senators
that he failed to report some S27,-
900 in contributions to the cam
|paign treasurer, as required by
Maryland law, but "short-circuit-
led the funds to get creditors off
my neck"
In the heat of the campaign,
he said, he cashed checks and
paid off debts with money which
never went through the account
Iof the treasurer, Cornelius P.
IMundy, Baltimore attorney. There
was no charge that Mr.. Jonkel
had diverted any sums from the
purpose for which they were in
tended.
Mr.. Jonkel knew about the chal-
Ilenged tabloid, he said, but would
have stopped the composite"
picture of Mr. Tydings and Brow
der as too sensational" had he
known of it.
The Senators reported that
many witnesses who participated
in the production of the tabloid
were unwilling to identify the
source of the idea for the publica-
ltion."
Eventually the testimony of Mrs.
Ruth Mccormick Miller, then edi-
tor of the Times-Herald, brought
out that "the idea for the tabloid
was the suggestion of Senator Nc
Carthy."
Mccarthy Fails to Testify.
The hearing panel, consisting Of
two Democrats and two Republi-
cans, extended an invitation to
Senator Mccarthy to appear be-
fore it and renewed the invitation
subsequent to the testimony of
Mrs. Miller" the report said.
Senator Mccarthy did not
appear before the subcommittee
in response to that invitation or
otherwise. nor did he avail the
subcommittee of any testimony
relative to this phase of the in
vestigation.
Members of his staff, and par
ticularly Miss Jean Kerr, his re-
search assistant, vigorously sup
ported the propriety of the tab
loid and composite photograph
in their testimony.
The evidence establishes that
certain of the photographs used
in the tabloid and certain of the
printed material appearing there
in were made available by Sen
ator McCarthy's Office staff, in
cluding particularly Donald A.

He said, however, that he thought
such a proposal would involve too
many difficulties to be ironed out
in time for the 1852 elections.
He believed there should be a
realignment of political forces,
with conservative elements of both
major parties forming one group

of both parties in the other, he

NLRb .Reverses Itself,
Rules for Clio in Case
Oxford Forge Workers
BY the Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board reversed itself today and
ruled that a CIO union is right
fully the bargaining agent fO
1850 Ford Motor Co. forge workers.
The 3-to-1 decision dismissed
the petition of an AFL union for
new workers election in Ford's
Canton, Ohio, forge division. The
AFL union had hoped to wrest ex-
elusive bargaining rights from the
CIO union.
NLRB aides said they believed
today'S action was the first time in
the boards history that it had re-
versed itself.
On July 13, the NLRB ruled
unanimously that the CIO unions
bargaining agreement with the
Ford company was not lawfully
made. This would have opened
the way for a new workers cleo
tion to determine whether the CIO.
or the AFL union should be ex-.
elusive bargaining agent.
Fears Other Pacts Upset.
The CIO had bitterly attacked
NLRB'S July 13 ruling, saying it
would upset some 1000 other CIO
union bargaining contracts
throughout the country.
Involved in the Canton case
were the CLOS United Auto
Workers and the AFLs Interna-
tional Brotherh ood of Black
smiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers.
The NLRB's July 13 ruling con-
tended that the JAWS bargain
ing agreement with Ford was un-
lawful because at the time the
national officers of the parent
C1O had not filed non-C Communist
afldavits.
C1O President Philip Murray
and other national officers did not
sign non-Communist affidavits un-
til December %, 1949. This was
nearly two months after the UAW
won bargaining rights at Canton .
by workers vote of 795 to 1875. +
The signing of nom Communist
aft1daVits by union leaders is a re-
qulrement of the Taft-H Hartley
law.
Hold Law Obeyed.
Today's NLRB decision said that
at the time of the Canton agree
ment the officers of the UAW were
in compliance with the law and
had signed non Communist affi- +
davitS.
The NLRB held that it did not
know that the national officers of
C1O and AFL also would be re-
quired to file Communist affi-
davits until the Supreme Court so
ruled on May /, 1851.
This, NLRB said, led to the July
ruling that the JAWS Canton
bargaining agreement was not
lawfully made because the ma
tional officers of the CIO had not ]
filed their Communist affida-
Wits at the time.
However, the NLRB agreed in {
It's July 13 ruling to hear further s
arguments on July %. Today's
ruling was a result of this re- r
argument.
Voting in favor of allowing the Y
JAW agreement to stand were J
