Chairman John D. Small OF the
Munitions Board was to consider
today advice that he dishand i'm
mediately an Advisory Committee
lof 20 prominent members, most Of
them from big business.
Alfred L. Scanlon, assistant
counsel of the board, announced
yesterday he would advise Mr..
Small to take such action.
/ His announcement came toward
the close of a congressional hear
ing in which J. Anthony Panuch,
who held responsible positions in
Government for a dozen years. was
urged to resign forthwith" as
counsel to members of the COM
mittee.
The committee in question is the
Industry Advisory Committee on
Military Contractor Relationship.
headed by Frederick C. Crawford,
president of Thompson Products,
Inc, of Cleveland. Mr.. Panuch
told the House Monopoly subcom-
mittee that he has been counsel
for II members of the commit
tee individually since June /,
1850.
Celler Advises Resignation.
! The resign forthwith" advice to
him was given by Subcommittee
Chairman Celler. Speaking of Mr..
Panuch's employment, he said:
In my humble opinion it was
a mere .subterfuge, and you had
no right to be employed by men,
bers of the COMMITTEES They en-
lployed you to do indirectly what
you could not do directly"
Mr.. Celler did not make clear
just what he had reference to, but
he said that Mr.. Panuch's COM
lpensation was paid by companies
which had contracts with the
Government. Mr.. Panuch said that
was an unfair inference.
Mr.. Panuch testified h was re-
tanned at $4,000 a month COM
pensation plus $1,000 a month for
expenses and $4,000 for a year
to defray the expenses of a staff
and office-a total of $4,000. But
as it turned out his compensation
was $2,875 month.
| Salary Caused Discussion.
The amount of the salary was
the subject of discussion between
Cornelius Lynde, Munitions
Board official who was Govern
Iment representative on the Ad-
visory Committee, and H. Struve
Hensel, a committee member. Mr..
Lynde is no longer with the Mu-
nitions Board. Mr.. Hensel, a New
York attorney, was formerly AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy.
E. Ernest Goldstein, counsel to
the subcommittee, read into the
record a letter dated June Is, 1850,
from Mr.. Hensel to Mr.. Crawford
In it, Mr.. Hensel said he had
talked to Mr.. Lynde who was con-
cerned that the proposed $4,000
month compensation for Mr.
Panuch was too high and was
worried about what Drew Pearson,
Icolumnist, might say about a
"highly paid lobbyist" d"
Mr.. Hensel wrote that he
thought the job was worth the
amount mentioned, or more. He
went on to say he took the posi-
tion with Mr.. Lynde that I did
not understand any worries about
what Drew Pearson might do be-
cause Pearson is no more effec-
tive than yesterdays newspaper. .

Gen. Marshalls statement fol-
lows;
THE passage of the universal
military training and service law
represents a step of historic sig
nif1ance. It will enable us to
face the uncertainties of an ex-
plosive military situation with the
knowledge that we can be strong
militarily without having to i'm
peril our security economically,
no matter how long the present
world tension may continue. And
1t will permit us thereafter to
continue strong militarily In keep
ing with our great purpose of pro-
noting the peace of the world.
my visit to the Far East battle
area has left me more firmly con-
vinced than ever that our best
hope today for restoring peace lies
In convincing the Communist
forces of Russia and her satellites
that they cannot win. BY estab-
fishing this enduring base under
the structure of our defense, We
serve notice on the world that we
are prepared to continue strong in
all the elements of our great power
Our armed forces, our industries,
our farms, our scientific labora-
tories and our educational system.
Objective Within Grasp.
"The law does not contain all
the provisions the Defense Depart
ment would have desired, but /
am confident that Congress will
enact the necessary supporting
legislation to carry into actual
effect the historic principles uni
fed in the bill. The objective Of
n universally shared obligation for
the defense of our country on a
basis that we can support is now
within our grasp; for the first time
since George Washington began
the pursuit of this goal century
and a half ago."
