the dismissal of Gen. Macarthur
as Far Eastern commander anC
American policy in the Far East
A militant Republican grour
entered the closed meeting of the
two committees ready to insist on
Ia formal report and armed with
Ia tentative draft" said to be
highly critical of the Administra-
tion's policies in the Far East.
The Hartman report on the
background and events of the
Yalta Conference had been re-
queSted by Senator Mcmahon
Democrat. of Connecticut, during
the hearings on the Macarthur
custer.
In his statement, Mr.. Harri.
man said some people have shown
a lack of understanding of this
country's effort during the wa,
to lay foundation for a peace
full postwar world and others ZAP
peared to have profited from hind
sight"
Still others-for reasons best
known to themselves-have dis
torted and perverted the facts to
point where their statements
have little or no basis in reality. ."
Mr.. Hartman added. "As a re-
suit, a myth has grown up that
what President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill did at
Yalta has led to our postwar diff
flcultieS with the Soviet Union
IhlS myth is without foundation
in fact"
Mr.. Hartman, who was Ameri-
can Ambassador to Russia at the
tlme OF the Yalta conference, said
the discussions and the under
standings reached there were IAN
integral part" of negotiations
with the Soviets to bring the war
TO a victorious end and "to find a
way in which the United States,
Great Britain and the U. S. S. r.
could live together in peace"
Says Stain Misjudged U. S.
In blaming Stain for the post
war tensions, Mr.. Hartman said:
1T is my belief that Stain was
influenced by the hostile attitude
OF the peoples of Eastern Europe
toward the Red army, and that he
recognized that governments es-
tablished by free elections would
not be friendly to the Soviet
Union.
In addition, I believe he be-
came increasingly aware of the
great opportunities for Soviet ex-
pansion in the postwar economic
chaos. After our rapid demobili-
zation, I do not think that he
conceived that the United States
would take the firm stand against

the possibility that the pair may
have gone over to Russia.
The trip Immediately aroused
speculation that there might be
some hope on the part of Mrs.
MacLean and the Foreign Office
that her husband will seek her out
in France.
She insisted, however, that her
only purpose was to have vaca-
ton.
Three Children in Party.
With Mrs. MacLean were her
three children, Fergus, Z; Donald
4, and Melinda, 2 months old. who
was born 3 weeks after her father

Ammonia Plant Lease
In Morgantown Stirs
Influence Furor
By the Associated Press

A big Army ammonia plant at
Morgantown. w. Va, has been
drawn into the Capitol clamor
over alleged influence" welding
Senator Nicely. Democrat, OF
West Virginia, protested to Presi-
dent Truman yesterday against
what he described as an effort by
the New York State Democratic
chairman to influence the award
ing of contract for operation OF
the plant.
Senator Neely did not identify
the chairman, Paul Fitzpatrick, by
name. Instead he referred, in
talking to reporters, to a "promi-
Inent Democratic politician" and
"the New York State chairman. u

In New York. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
could not be reached for comment
After a White House call Wednes-
day he told reporters he had dis
cussed with the President a speech
he was making that night in Au-
burn, N. Y.
Senator Neely said he got word
that the New Yorker had talked
to Mr.. Truman in behalf of the
United Distillers of America, a
New Jersey corporation, which, he
said, was organized recently to bio
for the Morgantown lease.
The Senator said he didn't
think for a minute" that the New
York State chairman had been re-
tanned to represent the distillers
but he said he didn't know why
he had interested himself in the
case.
Other Side Presented.
when we learned this prom
inent Democratic politician was in
here yesterday to speak for the
United Distillers, we came in to
give the other side of the matter, u
Senator Nicely said.
Senator Neeley was accom-
panied to the White House by
Representatives Staggers, Bailey
and Kee. all West Virginia Demo-
Gratis. He said his delegation did
not ask Mr.. Truman to take any
specific action himself, but simply
presented the other side.
Senator Nicely said the Allied
Chemical & Dye Corp. had Of
fered to lease the Army ordnance
plant for $12 million a year, while
United Distillers offered only
$500.000. Allied's offer meant
more money for the Government,
the Senator stated, adding that
he wants the lease settled on a
non-political basis.
Decision Up to Army.
The leasing decision is up to
Archibald Alexander, Undersecre-
tary of the Army, Senator Nicely
said. He added that Representa-
tive Celler, Democrat, of New York
has spoken to Mr.. Alexander in
behalf of United. and that Arthur
Koontz. Democratic national COM
mitteeman in West Virginia, has
been in Washington for some time
representing the distillers.
The Justice Department, Sena-
tor Nicely continued, has asked
Allied Chemical to show that their
leasing of the ammonia plant
would not be in violation of the
antitrust law.
The Senator's delegation pro-
duced evidence intended to show
that even with the acquisition of
Morgantown, Allied would be pro-
ducing only 1877 per cent of the
country's ammonia.
