Canadian Wheat
Sale Under u. ).
SubsiidyProbed
U. S. Officials to Check
For Conspiracy in
81 Million Export Deo
By Ovid A. Martin
Associated Press Stoff Writer

The Agriculture Department
has turned over to the Justic,
Department case involving thu
unauthorized sale Of some So mil.
lion worth of Canadian whea'
abroad under the United State!
export subsidy program-limitee
by law to United States wheat.
The question for the Justic.
Department is whether the Cana.
dian wheat was exported under
subsidies inadvertently or in {
deliberate effort to collect hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars Of
subsidies Illegally; and, if de.
llberately, whether Agriculture
Department employees were in.
volved in a conspiracy.
Agriculture Department official.
disclosed today that the findings
in the departments own investi-
cation have been sent on to tbs
Justice Department. They woulc
not say the total amount of sub
sides involved, but said S212. .OOc
OF subsidy payments already has
been returned voluntarily.
Probe Findings Listed.
These officials. who did not
want to be quoted by name, said
the departments nvestigation
turned up these findings:
About one million bushels OF
low grade Canadian wheat
brought into this country for live
stock feed-was moved to Cult
ports early this year, where it be-
came mixed with high grade
United States wheat and was
shipped abroad.
Some of this mixed grain was
sold under an ational wheat
agreement program providing fol-
a Government subsidy averaging
around IS cents a bushel. The
subsidy is limited to United
States-grown wheat.
One flour mill has returned q
subsidy payment of about $1O0 ,O00
on flour exported under the SUBJ
sldy and milled from Canadian
wheat.
Another mill has returned $112,-
600. Both explained that they
voluntarily returned the money
after discovering that wheat they
had bought for milling was of
Canadian origin.
Officials Action Studied.
The departments Investigation
included scrutiny of the action
of some of its officials in issuing
shipping permits which allowed
the Canadian grain to be moved
to ports. The grain was intended
for use as feed in inland areas.
Mixing Of Canadian grain and
United States grain for domestic
use, or for export without subsidy
is permitted. Officials said ex-
porters who claimed a subsidy on
exports Of mixed grain could be
prosecuted only if it could be
shown that they were involved in
the mixing or knew of it.

No. l Problem Is Finance.


ocratic National Committee, now
headed by Stephen A. Mitchell.
No. 1 Problem Is Finance.
The Governor agreed with a
reporter that the No. problem
of the Democratic national organ
ization now is to get funds to wipe
out deficit of more than half a
million dollars.
Gov. Stevenson came to WASH
ington last night to attend the
cabinet dinner President Tru-
man is giving tonight, and to take
stock of party conditions in the
wake of the November victory Of
Gen. Eisenhower.
A guest at the White House
overnight, he was invited to at
tend the customary staff confer
ence this morning. Chairman
Mitchell. Clayton Fritchey, his
top assistant, and Democratic
National Committee treasurer
Dwight Palmer also attended.
The Governor agreed to see re-
porters after the meeting broke
up. and he was brought into the
White House press Office by Acting
Press Secretary Roger Tubby, who
said that the Illinois executive
"has put himself at your disposal"
Talks "Most Informative"
Asked at the outset to discuss
his meeting with the President,
the Governor, with a smile, said
that he had had his first expert
ence sitting in at staff confer
ence, and that after the regular
business discussion was ended,
there was some sort of desultory
discussion around the room
mostly jollif1cation."
The Governor said he had had
some political discussion last night
with President Truman. He said
they had talked over Congress, the
Democratic program, the state of
the Union, the condition of the
world, party finances. and party
1T was most inform
ative to me-" he volunteered.
He said later he did not know
anything about reports that for
mer Price Stabilizer Michael v.
Disable would take over a high
post in the Democratic National
Committee.
The Governor was asked If he
and the President had discussed
the congressional situation in so
far as it concerns Southern Dem

Compaign Advancing
To Retain Bridges as
6. 0. P. Senate Leader
New EneIonder Indorsed
By SchoeppeI; Taft Hurt
BY Blost at Durkin
By J. A. OLeory

The movement to have Sena-
tor Bridges of New Hampshire
remain as Republican floor leader
to avoid a party fight gained i'm
petus today.
Senator Schoeppel, Republican,
of Kansas. who supported Sena-
tor Taft of Ohio for the presi-
dental nomination last summer
said today that if Senator Bridges
wants the leadership post, he will
support him.
"On the basis of Senator
Bridges record as leader at the
last session, am going to be fol
him if he wants it," said the
Kansan. II think he did an ex-
Icellent job"
Senator Bridges is on vacation
and was not available for COM
ment, but a source close to him
told the Associated Press in Con-
cord, N. H., today that Senator
Bridges has never closed the
door" on serving another term as
floor leader.
The source said that although
Senator Bridges desired to pass up
the floor leadership in the next
session. he would be willing to take
1t in the interest of party har-
mony and unity in the Senate"
Blast at Durkin Hurts Taft.
Reliable sources at the Capitol
said the pressure on Senator
Bridges to remain as leader is
building up. 1t has appeared
more likely since Senator Taft
openly criticized President-elect
Elsenhower's selection of Martin
P. Durkin, a Democratic labor
leader. to be Secretary of Labor.
Asked to comment on the Dur
kin appointment, Senator Schoep-
pei said he realizes a President
can name anyone he wants to
serve in his cabinet. AS to Mr.,
Durkin, the Senator said the ap-
polntee was reported as having
been for outright repeal of the
Taft Hartley labor law. The
Senator said that if the new La
Dor Secretary recommends out
right repeal that is one thing !
would not go along with" The
kansan said he would support
some changes, and indicated he
would be guided by Senator Taft's
views on revisions.
Taft Gets Reaction.
Meanwhile. Senator Taft told
the Associated Press in a tele-
phone interview that his state
ment on the Durkin appointment
was not a haSty action.
I took great care in writing it.
and ! think it speaks for itself "
said the Ohioan.
The Senator said he is getting
reaction from all over the coun-
try. but did not indicate the
nature of it. Asked what effect
his action might have on the
Republican Party as a whole, the
Senator said, those are matters
that haven't arisen yet"
Senator Bridges let it be known
soon after the election that he
would like to give up the floor
leader job for the less arduous
post OF President pro tempore of
the Senate, which would leave
MIN more time for his important
assignment as chairman of the
Appropriations Committee. The
President pro tempore presides
only when the Vice President is
out Of the city.

facturers' 57th annual convention
by DR.. Harley L. Lutz. He is pro.
fessor emeritus of public finance
at Princeton University and tai
consultant to the NAM. DR.. Lutz
said:
THE stories out of Washington
about the wasteful employmen,
conditions in many departments
and agencies are far from funny
they are tragic"
Consideration Expected.
The NAM expects the program
to be considered by the incoming
Eisenhower administration. It
was presented today to a women S
meeting at the convention-seem-
ingly an odd forum. But NAM
officials explained that it was felt
women could do a lot about the
program. a feeling strengthened
by the November 4 election. Also,
it has been presented to the men,
bers generally in printed form.
The cornerstone of the pro-
gram as presented by DR.. Lutz is
to turn back to the States various
services and functions that can
be performed there. At the same
time the Federal tax load would
be lightened so that State and
local taxes in their stead would
permit the local governments to
pick up the tab for their enlarged
ltobs.
Steps Are Outlined.
DR.. Lutz gave this outline OF
steps to carry out the program:
l. The Fe deral Government
should get out of the lending field
entirely. He challenged the Gov
ernment's right to take money
from the people and lend it back
TO the people.

grants to the States.

tions where it is in competition
with its own taxpaying citizens.
4. It must reduce its personnel
It now employs thousands who
could be more productivity en-
ployed in private industry.
S.. There must be a genuine re-
organization of remaining depart
lments and agencies with a posi-
tive elimination of duplicate or
multiple agencies doing the same
thing"
Freedom for Other Matters.
DR.. Lutz said that carrying out
this program would leave Congress
and the executive free to give
more attention to defense and for
eign affairs, would eliminate the

GU2-MiIe Team Head,
For Coast Hoping 10
Race IIIini Friday

Georgetown University's two
mile relay team leaves by plane
this afternoon for the Coliseum
track and field games to be held
in Los Angeles Friday night.
The Hoyas hope to tangle with
Illinois in their race. but Coach
Frank Sevigne of GU has no
definite word whether the Illini
will compete. Illinois was the
team that set an American record
in beating the Hoyas in 1915 in
the Drake Relays. The two previ-
ously had split wins in two indoor
races last winter.
Illinois has a dual meet Satur-
day but there's a chance the two
mile team might fly to Los Angeles
for this fourth meeting with the
Hoyas.
Making the trip for Georgetown
are Tom Voorhees,, Charlie Capoz-
zoli, Carl Joyce and Joe LaPierre.
Coach Sevigne plans to run Cap
ozZoll as lead-off man instead of
Voorhees, as usual.
The rest of Georgetown's track
team is staying behind to COM
pete in dual meet with the Bal
timore Olympic Club Saturday at
the Hilltop. In charge of the meet
here will be two of Sevigne's star
trackmen, Frank Sowa, who can
pot compete because of a pulled
muscle, and Dave Boland, who is
out because of book trouble.
Other important track events
for Washington area teams this
week end are the Southern Con-
ference championships at Chapel
Hill in which Maryland is en-
tered and the Ivy League cham
pionships at West Point, which is
attracting Navy.
Maryland is defending cham

Heads Opening Card
AT Rosecroft FRIDAY

Drawings today by Racing Sec
Iretary Jim Lynch will fill out the
card for Friday nights eight-race
program opening the Rosecroft
Raceway harness season.
The inaugural program will be
built around the $4,000 Symbol
Gantle trot for which 10 horses
already have been named. There
will be three other mile trots and
four mile PAGES on the program
starting at 8:15 pm.
Lynch says he will have no
trouble filling Friday nights card
with good horses. The barns at
Rosecroft already are nearly full
and more top-notch racers are
coming down from Yonkers Race
way.
The likely favorite for the Sym
Dol Gantle feature is Famous
Song. The 6-year-old black trot-
ter holds the Maryland mile rec
ord of 2:05 set at Baltimore Race
way last summer.
Famous Song will be asked to
tackle such other good ones as
Flower Song, Jim Gallon, Hit Pa

and Ann Volo. Flower Song has
trotted a mile in 2:0325.
Other entries for the SIS, 900 trot
are WidoWer, Baron Rosecroft and
