Smyth Declares President

President Truman asked him to
resign before Smyth was fired as
tax collector for Northern Cali

however. the Associated Press

twice by others about quitting.
His denial came after Mr.. Tru-

Smyth to resign before reported

Smyth was suspended from Of

This years Christmas season

|WhyWos McGrothKeptin Dark
On Truman Probe of CuudIe?

But yesterday the President told
a news conference Mr.. Caudle had
been under investigation by the
executive branch of the Govern
ment before his name turned up
in the congressional investigation.
The President said the Truman
administration was wise to Mr..
Caudle long before the committee
checked on him and that Mr..
ICaudle would have been fired even
If the committee had not stepped
in.
What the President left unex-
|plained was this.
Just who in the Truman ad-
ministration was wise to Mr..
lCaudle before the committee went
to work on him? Certainly not
Mr.. McGrath who only two days
before said he has had no doubts
iof Mr.. Caudle till the committees
work began.
But since the President said the
administrations investigation had
begun before the committees
why wasn't Mr.. McGrath told? ?
No one could have had more in
terest. or bigger stake, in such
an investigation than the At
torney General.
Why Was Action Late?
And why didn't the administra-
ton act before the committee
started its work?
A strange sight: The Attorney
General "a top man in the Truman
administration, never told about
an investigation of one of Mr.
McGrath'S top men.
And who made the investigation
for the misunderstanding FBI?
II so-Since Mr.. McGrath by his
own admission didn't know about
such an investigation-this is an
equally extraordinary sight.
If it wasn't the FBI, then il
might have been the Treasury
Departments investigators who
checked on Mr.. Caudle.
Even so, that doesn't answer the
question: Why should Mr.. Nc
Grath be kept in the dark about
something which involved one OF
his chief lieutenants?
Quizzed little about this, the
President said he doesn't keep Mr.
McGrath's books. He also said he
has no plans to fire Mr.. McGrath.

Service and others involved by the
FBI were arrested on charges of
conspiracy to commit espionage.
A District Court grand jury re-
fused to indict Mr.. Service and
two others. but did indict Jaffe

charge - conspiracy to remove
Government documents illegally.
Jaffe pleaded guilty and was fined
$500.
Nothing Harmful to Security.

the State Department board noted
that "the documents in question

The department board added
that it believes Mr.. Services ex-
perience "as a result of his indis-

him far more than normally

By Jones MorIow
Associoted Press S,oft Writer

We now have the extraordi-
mary picture of the Attorney Cen
eral bypassed and ignored in one
of the most critical situations in
volving the Justice Department in
a generation.
That was the investigation Of
IT. Lamar Caudle, assistant at
torney general, by a House sub
committee and by the Truman ad-
ministration itself. The President
fired Mr.. Caudle.
The story behind the picture
starts when the House subcom-
mittee investigating the tax scam
dals began investigating Mr.
Caudle, who was in charge of the
Justice Department tax division
Right in the midst of this con-
gressional investigation the Presi-
dent fired Mr.. Caudle from under
Mr.. McGrath'S nose.
Digging deeper into Mr.. Caudle'f
activities, the committee ques-
toned Mr.. McGrath who, any
time he pleaSes. can put the whole
machinery of the FBI to work or
any case, since the FBI comes
under the Justice Department.
McGrath Testimony Cited.
Mr.. McGrath told the committee
|. He never had doubts about
IMr. Caudle. and never saw any
reason to have them. until after
the committee had begun investl-
eating him.
Q. He had always considered
Mr.. Caudle a good man in his job
so much so that he never even
took the trouble to look at the file
on Mr.. Caudle's background pre-
pared years before by the FBI.
3. Whatever it was the COM
mittee found out about Mr.. Caudle
when it began its investigation
Mr.. McGrath wasn't told. II
was the President who got the
news and fired Mr.. Caudle sim
ply by telling Mr.. McGrath he
was going to.
| Mr.. McGrath made those state
ments Tuesday. They were a
plain admission he was bypassed
on critical information involving
one of the key men in his de-
partment.

Unanimous RFC Vote
On HurrY-Up Loan
To Suits Disclosed

Senate investigators said today
that the $455 900 loan obtained
from the Government by w. P.
Suits. Alabama lumberman now
under arrest for misapplication of
bank funds, was approved by
unanimous vote of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. board on
the same day the application was
received.
A spokesman for the Hoey SEN
ate Investigating Committee de-
scribed the l949 transaction as a
"hurry-up loan" in which Suits
was assisted by the then acting
director of RFC for the Birming-
ham region and Representative
Boykin. Democrat. of Alabama.
Suits. president of the Suits
Lumber Industries in Alabama,
and two officials Of the Thomas
vile (AlaD Bank & Trust Co.
were arrested Wednesday on the
charges of. misapplying bank
funds
RFC officials disclosed that the
Suits Lumber Co. has a timber
cutting contract son property
owned by the Boykin family.
For months. both Senate and
RFC investigators have been
studying a complaint that an of :
Ificial of the Mobile Paper Co. had
been forced to turn over stock
;untrol to some members of the
Boykin family in order to get an
IRFC loan several years ago. Mr..
Boykin has denied any wrong
doing in that matter and ex-
Iplained that he introduced Suits
to former RFC Chairman Harley
Hise only to help a constituent.
According to the Hoey commit
tee spokesman, the alleged bank
shortage at Thomasville was dis
covered when suspicion was
aroused by the hurry-up loan.
The shortage. reported to ap-
proximate $500, 900, was discovered
after w. Stuart Symington be-
came head of the RFC last Sep
tember. Mr.. Symington told re-
porters 1t seemed to him the S455,-
600 loan was used to bail out the
Thomasville bank. FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover reported that
Suits appeared to have received
the benefit of about 100000 of

Lawmakers 10 End
Hearing on Practices
In Arms Jobs Today
by shs Asseeias.d Pres,

DETROIT. Dec. IA con-
sressional subcommittee winds up
It's week-long hearings here today
with big and little businessmen
pleading for continuation of the
Governments present defense pro-
curement system.
Any radical change, they con-
tended. might upset 50-year-old
practices in the auto industry as
well as hamper the defense pro-
duction effort.
Representative Hardy, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, still questioning
the role Of the middleman in the
scheme Of things, summonded wit
nesses from Americas biggest
producer - General Motors and
medium sized and small firms.
Middleman Gets Slice.
The middleman, according to
Mr.. Hardy, is any one who takes
q slice of profit over and above
that of the actual manufacturer
The name has been applied in the
hearing to firms like General Mo-
tors and Chrysler. for distributing
parts for their vehicles manufac-
tured by a supplier, as well as to
manufacturers agents and ordi-
nary "5-percenters."
Testimony already has shown a
considerable share of defense con-
tracts has gone to companies or
individuals with few or no manu-
featuring facilities. for subcon-
tracing or sub-Subcontracting to
others.
One of the most vigorous de-
fenses of the present system was
voiced yesterday by Earl j. Bush.
president and general manager of
the Diamond T Truck Co. of Chi
cago.
Wants No Changes.
"All we ask" said Mr.. Bush, "is
that the time-proven competitive
methods Of handling parts be not
disturbed or changed by Govern
ment edict."
Mr.. Bush contended it is eco
nomically sound for so-called "end
producers" such as Diamond T to
distribute replacement parts made
for their vehicles or suppliers.
Mr.. Hardy has questioned
whether it would not be more
economical for the Government
to get vehicle replacement parts
from the firms which make those
parts than from the companies
which assemble the vehicles.
Denies Sitting Competition.
Mr.. Bush. Executive Vice Pres
ident John Keplinger of Hercules
Motor Co. and Assistant Controller
Frank Misch of Chrysler Corp.
all denied they had done anything
to discourage their suppliers from
submitting competitive bids on
parts contracts.
MFR. Bush's statement that 1t is
industry practice for the assembler
of trucks to handle the replace
ment parts business drew fire from
Representative Meader, Republic
can. Of Michigan.
He asked If that didn't amount
to a kind of subsidy which industry
has been receiving and wants con-
tinued, rather than going out in
rough-and- tumble competition toI
keep alive"
