With view to a possible Sen
ate investigation, Senator Wiley
Republican of Wisconsin, has
asked the Alien Property Custo-
dian for detailed information
about the handling of corporations
seized during World War II as
enemy property.
Among other things, he has re-
quested the names of all indi-
viduals who are serving as officials
Iof each of the ten largest firms
still under the jurisdiction of the
Alien Property Office and the pay
they receive.
This will include the General
lAniline and Film Corp, the Scher-
ing Corp. and the General Dye
stuff Corp. among Others" Senator
Wiley observed.
The Senator is in Europe. His
letter. made public by his office
today, was sent to Harold I. Bayn-
ton. director of the Alien Property
Once. During the war it took
control Of property in this country
in which there was an enemy in
terest and managed it for the
benefit OF the United States.
Shortly before Congress ad-
journed Senator Wiley said there
are signs indicating that the days
OF the agency's relative immunity
from investigation are fast draw
ing to a close"
He told hte Senate there are
too many skeletons rattling in
too many apo closets" and spoke
of the fantastic financial empire
controlled by this agency"
Senator Wiley said the Alier
Property Office controls an esti-
mated 81 billion worth Of property
including patents. and pays SAL
aries OF as much as $4,000 ano
$4,000 a year to individuals ap-
pointed to operate corporations
under its control.
His remarks were made during
debate on a proposed amendment
to a resolution ending the state
of war with Germany.
The amendment, which the
Senate rejected, would have per-
mltted settlements negotiated by
the Government for property
seized under the trading with the
enemy act to be reopened for court
review.
Although the amendment was
phrased in general terms, the only
case specifically mentioned in
'volved government acquisition of
stock in the General Dyestuff
Corp. which Ernest K. Halbach of
Short Hills. N. j.. had placed in
trust for his daughters prior to
the war.

Lose Freedom Plea
by the Associated Pres.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Con-
tempt sentences imposed on four
trustees Of the Civil Rights Con-
gress bail fund have been upheld
by the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals.
The court refused yesterday to
free the four men from Jail.
Those sentenced are Millionaire
Frederick Vanderbilt Field, 8
months; Mystery Writer Dashiell
Hammett. 6 months: w. Alphaeus
Hunton, 6 months. and Abner
Green, two 6-month sentences to
run concurrently.
The four were penalized for re-
fusing to cooperate in Federal
Court and grand jury investiga-
tions into the disappearance of
four. convicted top Communist
leaders.
In refusing to reply to ques-
lions, The TOUR trustees c0ntended
that answering might tend to in
criminate them. They also re-
fused to produce books Of the fund,
which had posted $50 900 total bail
for the fugitives. The Civil Rights
Congress IS listed as subversive
by the Attorney Generals office.
The Appeals Court decision said
the questioning Of the trustees
was proper and within the juris-
diction of the United States Dis
trict Court.
The four trustees had sought
reversal of their convictions on
the ground of constitutional pro-
lection against Standardization

court had no jurisdiction to con-

ment previously offered by Sena-
tor Wiley.
Opponents of the amendment
icontended that whatever the
merits of the Halbach case, it had
no place in the German peace,
resolution but should be handled
i'm separate legislation.
Senator Wiley accused the Jus
itice Department and the Alien
Property Office of launching
smear campaign" against him and
lothers who. he said. were fighting
to secure "a procedure of justice
for an American citizen"
In his letter to Mr.. Baynton, he
asked for a listing OF the officers,
directors. counsel and similar
officials Of each of the 10 largest
firms now under the alien prop
erty Offices control.
He also requested their present
rate of salary and the total COM
Ipensation they have drawn to
date. together with any previous
positions they have held in cor
Iporations under the jurisdiction
of the alien property custodian.
And as to the management of
such corporations generally, Sen
ator Wiley said he wanted to know
how their officers are selected and
how their compensation is deter
mined and whether any limit is
set on the. number of positions
they may hold and the total pay
they may draw.
He also inquired If any effort
is made to make sure that officers
Iof these corporations "are placed
on a completely equal COMPETE
tive footing with the general pub
lie insofar as subsequent private
purchase of the corporations and
their assets may be concerned"

New York Dock Strike

have violated the Taft-Hartley
Act.

plant from the New York Ship
ping Association, an employers
group.
Meanwhile, the wildcat walkout
entered its 17th day today with
the insurgent stevedores still in
virtual control of the worlds
largest harbor. Their strike also
hit other East Coast ports.
Pickets Plug Gaps.
Several cracks appeared in the
strike front yesterday but rowing
pickets apparently plugged all the
gaps by nightfall, leaving only
military docks working normally.
The employers group charged
in the NLRB complaint that the
strikers we're guilty of breach of
contract. The charge was filed
against FIVE New York locals of
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association.
About 10000 striking stevedores
in these locals are demanding
changes in a new contract negoti-
ated between shipping and steve
doring firms and the lila just be-
fore the walkout started.
$1,000 Stevedores Covered.
lila President Joseph P. Ryan
has sided with the employers in
saying the contract was duly rati-
fed and cannot be reopened.
The new pact, covering 5000
longshoremen between Maine and
Virginia, granted a .10-cent-an-
hour wage boost. The strikers
want Is cents and other changes.
Precontract pay was So an hour
NLRB Regional Director Charles
T. Douds assigned two aides to.
the inquiry into the breach-of-
contract charge.
If the charge is upheld, the
Government could go to court for
a cease and desist order to force
the strikers back to work. Should
the wildcatters stay out, the firms
could seek damages against the;
locals in a Federal Court suit.

st. Johns, winner of 16 straight
