According to Police 1t. John l..
Sullivan of the sex squad, Merat
had first called the attractive
Government worker in June, when
she advertised for a female COM
panion to share a room. The
caller identified himself as Ed
ward Edwards
The girl. who is in her late 20s,
complained to the police, 1t. Sui
livan said. He said they asked
the girl to work with them and
urged her to try to make a date
with hun. Merat called 1.-TWO or
three" times since, but it wasn't
until yesterday that she made a
date over the telephone, the de-
tective said.
Arrested at Meeting.
When Merat approached the girl
and said he believed he had a
luncheon date with her, Detective
Sergt. Frank Ashley and Proba-
tional Detective C. A. Mackie
stepped in and arrested him. He
is charged with disorderly con-
duct.
I'VE have had numerous COM
plants over the past several years
about these 'Kinsey Report calls"
1t. Sullivan said. Already one
other complainant has identified
Merat's voice as the one that
asked her intimate questions
about her sex life, and police say
they are talking to other COM
plainants who have notified them
of being called by voice with
an accent"
Detective Mackie said the girl
told police the caller had ''men-
toned something about Kinsey."
Merat, at present. a writer
for the Bureau of Ships and
Docks. admitted he had called the
girl about something in the
paper" but he denied he had
mentioned the Kinsey Report to
her or any one else.
Studied at Columbia.
Speaking with an accent. Merat
said:
Il vigorously and emphatically
deny this charge. I am sure that
I am the victim of mistaken
identity. / shall take every action
to clear my name. I have re-
quested, and I will continue to re-
quest, that I be submitted to a lie
detector test and I am sure that.
under our American law and JUS
tice, shall receive a fair trial. I
believe that truth is indestructible,
that it is sometimes trampled upon,
but, in the end, its voice will be
heard and I, an innocent party to
this case. will be absolutely
cleared. I ask my friends not to
PREJUDICE me until I have had a
chance to be heard in our courts" :"
Merat said he came to this
country from Iran in 1926 and
studied at Columbia University.
He also said he taught sociology
at George Washington University
during the summer of 1912.
Merat said he and his wife are
separated and that he called the
girl because he wanted female
companionship.
Il don't see any crime in calling
a girl for a date" he told re-
porters. Il am lonesome"
He posted collateral and said he
would 'go to court and prove my
innocence"

Rayburn Promises
1An-0ut Texas Drive
TO Elect Stevenson
BY the Associated Press

BONHAM, Tex, Sept. 19.-Texas
Democrats who want Adlai Ste
venson for President had a pledge
today from Speaker Sam Rayburn
that every county in the State
would be organized for a Novem-
Der victory.
AS Mr.. Rayburn made his pledge
for an all-out Democratic drive
yesterday, former Attorney Gen
eral McCraw at Dallas denounced
two Democrats who say they won't
support Governor Stevenson.
To Seek Separate Claim.
Elsewhere:
l. Price Daniel, attorney gen.
eral and nominee of both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans for the
Senate, said he would introduce a
bill in the Senate to press apart
from other States the Texas claim
to offshore lands.
2. DR.. Louis Buck of New Braun
fels, Tex, chairman of the Young
Republican Federation of Texas,
said Senator Nixon, G. o. p. vice
presidential nominee, would arrive
in Amarillo for a speech Septem-
ber 26 at 6 pm.
Mr.. McCraw referred to Gov.
Allan Shivers and Mr.. Daniel as
"our presently bewildered and be-
fuddled public officials"
Speaker Rayburn's appointment
Ito head the national Democratic
nominees campaign in politically
turbulent Texas was announced by
Stephen Mitchell, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee in
Washington.
Will Enter Every County.
Mr.. Rayburn told the Associated
Press, Il think we're going to carry
Texas and elect Adlai Stevenson
President. We will set up organi-
cations in every county of the
State"
The speakers staunch party
stand is at odds with the stand
taken by Gov. Shivers and Mr..
Daniel who have announced they
cannot support the Illinois Gov
ernor for President because he ad-
vocates Federal ownership Of the
tidelands.

Gov. Stevenson would not con-

Sporkmon's Stand
On Civil Rights Cited

A President has great influ-
ence. Next year the President
will control the expenditure Of
probably $85 billion. He has
unlimited appointments at his
disposal. But a President has
no more right to use the inf1u-
ence of his Office to force a
change in the rules of the Sem
ate than he has to use such in
fiuence to force a change in the

rules of the United States
courts.
At the State convention I
read what Senator Sparkman,
the Democratic candidate for
Vice President, said to his con-
stituents two years ago, that he
had always been against the
civil rights bills and always
will be-" Now he says his views
are exactly like those of Mr..
Stevenson, who favors all OF the
civil rights program.
For several years I have been
opposed to many policies OF the
present Democratic administra-
ton. If President Truman were
a candidate for reelection, I
could not support him because
of his policies. When Gov.
Stevenson was nominated, be-
cause I preferred to support the
national Democratic ticket and
because of my personal regard
for him, it was my hope he
would disassociate himself from
the policies of the present ad-
ministration. He has not done so.
Mr.. Stevenson is permitting
President Truman to share the
role of candidate. Only few
weeks ago Mr.. Truman said he
was the "key to the campaign"
The press associations carried
this statement:
Explaining what he meant
by being the key to the cam
paign, Truman said the Demo-
cratic Party has to run on the
record of the Roosevelt and Tru-
man administrations. That is
all it can run or"
From this statement Mn
Stevenson did not dissent.
There is a marked distinction
between the Roosevelt admins
tration and the present admin
istration. President Roosevelt
did not advocate socialized
medicine or the Brannan plan.
He did not assert an inherent
right to confiscate the property
of the steel industry or Of other
citizens. In his administration
there was not the corruption
and unethical conduct of Of
ficials in the departments and
agencies Of the Government
that have shocked the Nation
during the last two years.

Adams Describes Job
with Eisenhower as
lone Of Coordination

AS the $40, ,000-a-year assistant
to the President, Gov. Sherman
Adams of New Hampshire will
have one of the most important
and influential positions in Gen.
Eisenhower's administration.
President-elect Eisenhower an
nounced yesterday the selection Of
Gov. Adams for the post currently
held by John r. Steelman.
His role. Gov. Adams told a
news conference after the an
nouncement, will be that of a CO.
ordinating officer responsible for
general supervision of the execu-
tive Offices and also as a liaison
officer between the White House
and various executive Offices, and,
to some extent, with Congress.
Speculation Dismissed.
He dismissed as "too specula-
tive" a report that as assistant to
the President he would become a
sort Of secretary-general with far
flung authority over White House
personnel as well as independent
agencies in the executive branch
Of the Government.
Gov. Adams also made it clear
that he does not consider his
prospective position as primarily
that of a trouble-shooter or a
super confidential aide whom the
President might send on missions
in this country and abroad.
He promised there will be no
sudden or violent face-lifting of
the independent agencies. But
he emphasized that a better con-
troll and coordination can and
will be effected"
Process of Evolution.
Explaining that the process will
be one of evolution, the Governor
said major changes can be ex-
pected not merely in personnel,
but in the agencies themselves
and in their respective functions
and responsibilities.
Such studies already are we'll
under way, he told reporters.
These, he pointed out. embrace
many previous recommendations,
including the 1949 Hoover Com
mission proposals.

hover as a sort of "chief of staff
