Mob Violence Against Jews
Denied by Iraqi Officials
BY the Assoeiated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Mar. 14.-Re-
ports of looting of Jewish property
and mobs violence against Jews
in Iraq were described by Iraqt
officials yesterday as entirely un-
true"
The Jewish Telegraph Agency
reported from Tel Aviv Monday
that the lives of $4,000 Jews re-
manning in Iraq were in jeopardy
from uncontrolled crowds swarm
ing through Baghdad. The agency
quoted immigrants arriving in
Israel from Iraq.
Officials here said air trans
portation of Jews to Israel con-
tinued normally and those Jews
remaining in Baghdad were not
molested.
The property of all Jews who
relinquished their Iraqi citizen
ship by registering for emigra
ton to Israel has been frozer
and put under control of a spe-
cial government agency.
Approximately 10000 Jews ir
Iraq have refused to relinquist
their citizenship. These Jews
are to be treated as ordinary
Iraqi citizens with all the same
rights, the officials said.

Name of Joseph Major Bobs Up
In 'FWe-Percenter' Inquiry

specifically criticized by the five
percenter committee in its interim
report in January, 1850, and GSA
established its new standard of
conduct in September, 1850.
At the same time, however, Mr.
Larson frankly admitted that "We
have failed to exercise the dill
gence and concern for the en-
forcement of our published regu-
lations that they deserve"
AS the Senate investigation S
subcommittee renewed its inquiry
into men who trade on their
influence to get Government con-
tracts, Mr.. Larson complained
that many small businessmen
have been handicapped in getting
Government contracts because
they feared being publicly con-
demned if they hired legitimate
representatives ito bring thei1
product to the attention of proper
Government officials"
Mr.. Larson reported that many
Government contracting Offices
have not made the effort to in
form themselves and therefore
cannot advise small businessmen
on Government policy regarding
legitimate agents.
Progress Reported.
The civilian procurement chief
said, however, that the Govern
ment has made great progress
toward making it easier for busi-
nessmen to deal with the Federal
Government.
Il can report to you," he told
the Senate investigators, that the
trading road between the busi-
nessman and his Government has
been shortened, and it has been
Strengthened"
Mr.. Larson pointed out that
the new procurement regulations
require contractors to state
whether they paid any one other
than a fulltime employe for help
in getting a contract. If they
did. they must spell out the de-
tails of the arrangement, Mr.
Larson said. He said the first
IGSA regulation on this score left
lit up to the individual agency to
decide what was to be done with
the information by the successful
bidder.
In the case of one agency. he
reported. it was decided nothing
should be done.
| Obviously, he added. this did
not meet the needs of disclosures
! and so the regulations have been
revised

Minimum Bill Loses.
The bill which failed to get ap-
proval was the Nicely measure to
extend the provisions of the Dis
trict minimum wage law for wom-
en- and minors to men. This
failed by tie vote, 6 to 6, and one
additional adverse vote was reg
istered, by proxy, for Senator Case,
Republican, of South Dakota
However, Committee Chairman
Neely did not take the vote as
final and announced that absent
members of the group would be
polled.
Senator PaStore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island strongly argued for
approval of the measure, saying it
was intended as protection for
women and minors, by preventing
their replacement in jobs by men
willing to work for less than mini
mum wages set for women and
minors.
In an effort to get committee
approval Senator Pastore recon-
mended an amendment to elm
mate requirement that the
standards" of employment for
men could not be less than those
for women. This would leave the
bill requiring only that the wages
and hourly rates for men could
not be less than those for women
and minors.
But even the amended bill was
strongly opposed by Senators

lima, and Butler, Republican OF
