Paid Party Henehman
When in Hire Of RFC
$l,26l Disbursement
To Grutz Is Disclosed
By Senate Probers
By Robert K. Welsh

Democratic National Chairman
William M. Boyle's bank accounts
show that he paid $1,261 in late
1919 to Turney Gratz, then an
IRFC employe and now a Demo-
cratic headquarters official, a Sem
ate subcommittee revealed today.
That disclosure, outlined by
Senator Nixon. Republican, of
California, came as the subcom-
mittee heard Miss Janet Boone,
former American Lithofold Corp.
Iemploye, testify that she made out
commission" statements to Mr..
Boyle long after he ended his con-
Inection with that st. Louis con-
Germ.
The subcommittee temporarily
recessed its open hearings into
stories that Mr.. Boyle received
$4,000 from Lithofold and helped
it get $685. 900 in RFC loans in
1949. Mr.. Boyle has sworn that
he received $3.50 as a legal re-
tainer early in 1949 but that it,
had nothing to do with the loans.
Tax Returns Examined.
The disclosure of Mr.. Boyle'S
payments to Mr.. Gratz resulted
from a staff examination of his
bank records and income tax re-
turns. Senator Nixon explained
that the bank records show checks
paid to Mr.. Gratz as follows: $40O
on September Is. 1949: $500 on
December 81, 1949, and 1851 on
the latter date.
In his 1949 income tax return"
Senator Nixon said, "Mr. Boyle
shows a deduction in the amount
of $1.261. which represents the
total of the above payments. He
lists $500 of this amount under
the heading fees for services and
reports He lists $761 of this
amount under the heading 'reim-

and representatives.
Senator Nixon noted that Mr..
Boyle was national chairman at
that time and that Mr.. Gratz was
AN RFC employe at a salary of
'$10,330 a year.
Subcommittee Chairman Hoey
announced that the staff will look
further into those payments and
might call Mr.. Gratz as well as
Mr.. Boyle to testify at some future
time.
More Than $4,000 Paid in Month.
There also are indications in Mr..
Boyle's bank statements that he
paid more than $4,000 to Mr..
Gratz in December, 1948, Senator
Nixon added. The subcommittee
staff has not yet been able to de-
termine the nature of those pay
ments. At that time Mr.. Boyle

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Threat-

final contest of the National
DetoiIs Of Yesterdays PIoyoff Come in
Sports Section.
Leagues frenzied pennant race
today as the New York Giants
and Brooklyn Dodgers clashed in
the third and deciding game of
a playoff series at the Polo
Grounds.
In the first inning the score was
Dodgers /, Giants, 0.
FIRST INNING.
DODGERS-Maglie's first two
pitches to Furillo were wide of the
plate. but he then famed the
Dodger batter. Reese walked.
Snider walked on four straight
pitches. Robinson hit Maglie's
first pitch into left field for a
single, scoring Reese, Snider stop
ping at second. Larry Jansen was
warming UP in the Giant bullpen.
A warm. muggy atmosphere
with a hint of rain failed to
dampen the spirit of. the thou
sands who poured into the Giants
home park to witness the down.
to-the-wire finish to determine
which National League Club will
battle the New York Yankees in
the World Series starting tomor-
row.
Heavy clouds darkened the skies
over the Polo Grounds and after
noon thundershowers were fore.
cast for the neighboring West
chester area but none over the
playing field.

Series Forgotten
The World Series was forgot en-
for the moment. though, with
both the Giants and Dodgers pre-
pared to go all-out in today's
game. Both clubs were starting
top pitchers with Brooklyn using
big Don Newcombe,- who carried
a 20-9 record into the game. The
Negro righthander had beaten the
Giants five times in seven starts.
The Giants countered with
swarthy Sam Maglie. also a right
handler, who had a season record
of % wins and six losses. He had
won five of six previous starts
against the Dodgers this year.
The bookmakers strung along
with Maglie, installing the Giants
6-5 favorites to win the game and
their first pennant since 1887.
The Giants won the first game
of the playoff series, 81, at Eb-
bets Field. but Brooklyn bounded
back with 100 conquest yester-
day at the Polo Grounds.
Walker Catching.
AL (Rube) Walker, who went
behind the plate for Brooklyn
yesterday as replacement for
injured Roy Campanella, was
named to catch Newcombe today.
Walker contributed three hits to
the Giants attack yesterday, in
Guiding mighty home-run blast
over the right-field roof.
The gates at the Polo Grounds
swung open at 10 am. A half
hour later 5000 bleacher and 35.-
600 unreserved seats were placed
on sale. The crowd of 38,6O9 yes
terday was a big disappointment
to officials of both clubs. but in
dications were that today's crowd
would be the largest of the play
off series. The clubs split the re-
ceipts fifty fifty, with players be-
ing paid only for three days work.
The customers were late arriv-
ing, however, and only a scatter-
ing of fans sat in the center field
bleachers two hours after the
gates opened.

The need for additional money
for the city's public assistance
program also was noted. The

crease of $500, 900, much of this
to cover the increased costs ot

respect.

Iran Premier Appeals
To Grady 10 Persuade
Britain 10 Cooperate
By the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, June 19.-
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
appealed to American Ambassa-
dor Henry F. Grady today to try
to persuade the British to CO.
operate in Trans naturalization
of oil.
The ailing premier called Mr..
Grady to his bedside for a talk q
few hours before what may be the
peak of the oil crisis in this sensi-
tive spot at Russia's side door.
| London reports said the British
owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. will
come forward tonight with an
offer of G10 million ($28 million)
in answer to Trans cash demands.
This is short of Trans demands
for rs per cent of the oil profits
since March. plus a deposit of the
remaining Is per cent to meet the
company's possible compensation
claims. AIOC negotiators meet
with government officials at 8
pm, the deadline Iran set for
satisfaction of her demands.
But at Abadan, DR.. Mossadegh's
right-hand man, HosSein Maxi,
declared Britain must meet Trans
full demands or I'VE will shut of
the valves" to AIOC's customers
and take over" AIOC tomorrow.
Hope for Eventual Settlement.
British officials at Abadan, site
of the worlds biggest refinery, said
they felt this is the day on which
the fate of AIOC is settled.
The British felt that if noth-
ing final is settled at the meeting
tonight the back Of the crisis will
be broken and way open for
eventual settlement.
But if Iran rejects the British
cash offer outright, and attempts
to seize the plant, British sources
said privately they would with
draw all their skilled oil workers
from the country at once. The
West would lose control of Persian
oil, Europe's chief source.
Ambassador Grady, acting as an
unofficial go-between, was working
Ito prevent a decisive blowup at
Itonight's meeting. He said he told
IDr. Mossadegh he hoped the
IIranians would not break of ne
Igotiations even though they found
the British offer unacceptable.
The Ambassador said he was mot
lat all pessimistic.
Under Tremendous Pressure"
DR.. Mossadegh's reply to Mr..
Grady's advice not to act hurriedly
was that he was under "tre-
Imendous pressure because the peo-
Iple do not want any delay"
Even if DR.. Mossadegh really is
in a mood to compromise he faced
a problem of combating extremist
elements among his own sup
Iporters.
A change in the naturalization
law voted by Parliament last
March would be necessary if Iran
settles for less than all of AIOC
profits. But there are growing
signs of willingness to compromise
lin Parliament.
Deputy Abdul Hossein Radji
said today. eff DR.. Mossadegh be-
lieves any changes in the nations
alization law are required, then
the Premier himself should pro-
pose such amendments because he
is the author of the law"
AIOC negotiators received final
instructions from London this
morning for the crucial meeting.
No details were known. The offer
of a cash payment was believed to
be part of a general counter-pro-
posal. Presumably it accepted the
principle of some form of nation
alization.

day.
Mr.. Healy, of the Newark News

Carrier Benefits Increased.
Surveying the work of the as
sociation in the last year. Mr..
Healy said it had encouraged in
dividual newspapers to increase
benefits for carrier boys. Many
papers, he said, employ a full
time athletic director for the car
riers with summer recreation pro-
grams and educational scholar
ships.
The association itself, he con-
tinued, has $3.50 graduate study
scholarship and recently has de-
cided to set up three $3.50 scholar
ships for senior university stu
dents in journalism or business
administration. The three stu
dents to receive the new scholar
ships will be selected by the edu-
cation committee of the associa-
ton on the basis of 1,000-word es-
says on subjects to be determined
