An administration houseclean-
ing appeared underway today with
President Truman's abrupt dis
missal of Theron Lamar Caudle
as chief of the Justice Depart
rnent's Tax Division.
Mr.. Caudle was fired late yes
terday within 48 hours after the
President requested and received
la report on his activities from a
House Ways and Means subcom-
mittee investigating far-reaching
tax scandals and irregularities.
The announcement was made
at Key West, where Mr.. Truman
is spending a vacation. White
House confldants there said the
dismissal was only the beginning
of wholesale administration
housecleaning.
One highly placed adviser in
Key West who asked that his
name not be used, said:
The President is angry over
disclosures that have reflected on
him and his administration. He
hopes that any of those whose
activities are open to question will

Probers Reported
Checking Shaver Story
OF Gambling Luck
Former Senate EmpIoye
Accused Of Taking Fees
For Aid on Looms
BY the Associated Press

His prOfeSSed luck at the poker
table and in horse race betting
was reported today an issue in a
Senate investigation of Charles E.
Shaver, a former Senate employe.
Competent sources, refusing to
be named, told a reporter Mr.
Shaver's reported winnings are
under scrutiny of the Senate Spe-
cial Investigations subcommittee.
The subcommittee is looking
into Mr.. Shaver's acknowledged
role in promoting Government
loans for certain applicants while
he was counsel for two Senate
groups created to aid small busi-
ness enterprises. Among other
things. it is inquiring whether
any fees to Mr.. Shaver were in
ivolved in the loan negotiations.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Hoey. Democrat, of North
Carolina, has seized Mr.. Shaver's
bank account records.
Dates and Names Checked.
These, the informants said, list
deposits well in excess" of Mr.
Shavers $8300-a-year salary
from the Senate Small Business
COMMITTEE for which he was
counsel until he resigned under
fire October "a.
The sources said Mr.. Shaver
has explained that "a substantial
part" of this excess was attribut-
able to consistent winnings at
poker and on horse race bets. They
said the subcommittee is check
ing thoroughly into dates, names,
and amounts involved in the pur-
ported winnings.
Mr.. Shaver refused to discuss
the bank account entries with a
reporter. He did say, however,
that he received no fees for as
sistance to any loan seekers.
$500 Payment Claimed.
One industrialist has challenged
that statement. At Miami, Henry
r. Shaffer told newsmen he paid
Mr.. Shaver $500 on June "a, 1949,
for assistance on an application
for $4,000 loan from the Re-
construction Finance Corp. for
the Aluminium Manufacturing Co.,
of which Mr.. Shaffer was presi-
dent. Mr.. Shaffer said there was
an understanding that Mr.. Shaver
would get a larger fee if the loan
were granted. The RFC declined
the loan application. and Mr..
Shaffer said he wants Mr.. Shaver
to return the $500.
Senator Hoey is expected to
announce shortly a date for pub
lie hearings on the role of Mr..
Shaver and Mrs. Flo Bratten,
secretary to Vice President Bark
ley, in interceding with the RFC
for loan applicants.

Government Workers
Nearing Their Goal
In Chest Campaign
Interior Department and
26 Other Agencies
Go Over Quotes

Government employees almost
have reached their Community
Chest goal.
Already $1.4 million is in, and
only $16S,o00 more is needed.
Leaders have good hopes of get
ting it.
Another big agency-the In
terror Department-went over the
top yesterday. Interiors quota was
$51 ,350-nearly $4,000 more than
it raised last year.
26 Other Agencies Over Top.
Twenty-six other agencies also
are over the top, including the
Navy and Post Office Department.
Several other major departments
are near there.
Hopes for exceeding the Gov
ernment quota-the drives big
gest-rest mainly on seven agen-
cies that are tagging. They are:
Army Department-now att
$126.731: over the top with $751;
900 at this stage last year.
Air Force-now at $4,000;
within two per cent of SAL 800
quota last year.
Potomac River Naval Command
now at $4,000; raised $75,SOOI
a year ago.
District Workers Lag
District Government-now att
$4,000; quota is $106,000.
Federal Security Agency-now
at $43,778; quota is $65, 900.
General Services Administra-
tion-now at $33,774; quota is
$57,415.
Veterans Administration-now
at $52.2l8; quota, $4,000.
But Government as a whole is
ahead of progress a year ago.
AS for the area-wide drive, it
stands at $3.203, ,299, or 70 per

Atrocity Killings
Are Verified
By Ridgway
Figures Not Given;
General Regrets Way
Story Was Disclosed
By the Associated Press


TOKYO. Nov. l7.-Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway today verified
the Communist atrocity killings
of United Nations soldier captives
in Korea and declared "the shock
ing impact of the brutality which
has been revealed should have
been no surprise to the American
people"
But the supreme Allied COM
mander, in his first comment on
the sensational story that shocked
the world Wednesday, expressed
regret over the way it was dis
closed.
Gen. Ridgway, in a statement,
said all known deaths already had
been reported to next of kin and
that the report had caused need
less anguish among relatives of
those soldiers still listed as
missing.
On Wednesday, Col. James M.
Hanley. head Of the war crimes
section of the United States 9th
Army. disclosed in Korea that
nearly 5000 Allied soldiere-5,5O0
of them Americans-had been
slaughtered by their Communist
captors since the outbreak of the
war.
No Figures Mentioned.
Gen. Ridgway's statement did
not mention the figures an
nounced by Col. Hanley.
Col. Hanley was brought to
Tokyo today by Col. George Pat
rick WEIGH, Gen. Ridgway's pub
lie information officer, presuma-
bly, to answer any questions while
the Ridgway statement was being
prepared.
Shortly before Gen. Ridgway
spoke out, Peiping radio entered
la blanket denial of Col. Hanley's
report. It maintained that United
Nations prisoners of war were
treated well despite difficult con-
Iditions."
Then the Chinese Communist
radio countered with its own
charges that thousands and tens
of thousands" of Chinese and
North Korean Red soldiers "who
fell into the hands of the United
Nations forces have been mas
sacred"
This ran counter to all reports
OF United Nations treatment of
prisoners. Col Hanley in his re-
port said all Red prisoners were
well cared for. Only yesterday
A. P. Photographer Robert H.
Schultz visited a large war prisoner
camp and said he found the Com
munist captives well fed and we'll
clothed.
Revelations Had Been Planned.
Gen. Ridgway's statement en-
phasized that there had been no
intention of withholding the
atrocity figures.
"It had been concluded some
months ago. that at an appropri-
ate time when the accumulated
evidence warranted and when due
coordination had been effected
with the proper authorities in
Washington, this evidence should
be made public" Gen. Ridgway
said.
That this coordination was
not properly effected at the time
of this release is of the utmost
regret to this headquarters"
Gen. Ridgway said release of
Col. Hanley's information had mo
connection whatever with the cur
rent armistice negotiations" at
Panmunjom.
The commander in chief said as
far back as October, 1850, movie
film showing recovered bodies of
26 Allied soldiers was shown to a
group of 200 United States Mayors.
He said the pictures, released
with Washington's approval,
showed bodies shot in the head
with hands tied behind their
backs.

The 60-member committee also
rejected. by a vote of 38 to 6 with
10 abstentions. a Soviet plea that
Russian peace plan presented to
the U. N. General Assembly yes
terday be discussed Immediately
after the Western plan.
Asked by Acheson.
Mr.. Acheson had asked in his
speech at the opening of the COM
mittee meetings today that the
Western proposals be discussed
first and the Russian plan be post
poned until late in the session
because it duplicates other
items" already on the committee s
work sheet.
Russia's Jacob Malik agreed
that the Western proposal should
come first, but insisted that the
plan presented by Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Vishinsky be dis
cuSsed Immediately afterward.
Mr.. Malik said the disarma-
ment proposals will brook nc
delay"
Both the Western and Russian
proposals were presented during
the Assembly's session here. The
Western Big Three called for 8
step-by- step world census of al.
weapons. including atom bombs
followed by "foolproof" controls
and progressive disarmament. The
Russians countered with their ole
peace plan calling for immediate
banning of atomic weapons and
asked for a peace pact between
the Big Five nations-the United
States, Russia, Britain, France and
Communist China.
No Veto in Committee.
It is in the Political Commit
tee that the fine points of prob
lens are debated without a time
limit. Resolutions are drawn ur
and voted on and decisions are
reported to the Assembly for rati-
fication. Every member nation ha.
one vote in the committee anc
there is no veto.
Mr.. Acheson told the committee
today the problem of internationa,
control of atomic energy should
follow the Big Three disarmament
plan on the agenda and the U. N
proposals for collective security
should come next. He said these
three items are inextricably linked
The Importance the Unitee
States attaches to immediate dis.
cussion of its disarmament plar
was shown by the fact that this /.
the first time since the U. N. wa.
founded that the Secretary o.
State has argued personally in the
committee for any item.
Mr.. Acheson told the commit.
tees first meeting another reason
for postponing discussion of the
Soviet counterplan was that it's frs
point called for discussion of {
Korean armistice. The Secretary
said this was not practical while
negotiations were going on at the
front in Korea.
At this point he interrupted hi
