Jury Expected
Probe Leaks
On Cotton Deals
Former U. S. Official
Accused of Giving
Doto to Eeyption
By jones (. Roper

JuSClce department. OFFICIALS SAID
today the case of Clovis D. Walker,
former Agriculture Department
official. probably will go before a
District grand jury in the near
future.
Mr.. Walker is accused of leak
ing secret Government informa-
ton to his good friend" Egyp-
tian cotton dealer Loutfy Man
sour.
Investigators for the Senate Ag-
riculture Committee say Mr..
Walker tipped off Mr.. Mansour
about American plans to stock
pile long-staple Egyptian cotton
for military purposes. This in
formation allegedly enabled Mr.
Mansour to make staggering prof
|its-perhaps running into the mil
lions-on the sale of the special
cotton to the United States.
Mr.. Walker was head of the
Agriculture Departments Cotton
Branch. He resigned May S after
the Senate committee held pub
lie hearings on the case.
Denied Wrongdoing.
In his letter of resignation, Mr.
Walker denied all wrongdoing, but
said he felt his usefulness to the
Agriculture Department was
ended.
Mr.. Walker. it was learned, has
sold his home at 401O Warren
street NV. He and Mrs. Walker
planned to leave today for Flor
ida on what they regard as a
permanent vacation.
Mr.. Walker owns a home in
Florida and an Oklahoma farm,
which nets him about $4,000 an
nually. The Senate hearings pro-
duced no evidence that Mr..
Walker profited financially from
his association with Mr.. Mansour
Mr.. Mansour apparently did
better. After receiving advance
information that the United States
was about to buy long staple cot
ton. he obtained a near-corner on
the Egyptian supply.
The price shot up. Then he
sold the United States $37 million
worth at the high prices. He pre-
pared some of his successful offers
in the office of Mr.. Walker-after
Mr.. Walker knew what offers
other dealers had made.
Indictments Possible.
Grand juries may or may not
hand down criminal indictments
Laws provide punishment for any
one disclosing Government secrets
The fact that the United States
was buying Egyptian cotton for
stockpiling was a military secret
The amounts purchased and the
exact prices paid are still so secret
that the Senate committee cannot
get the information.
Investigators, however, said that
in at least one case Mr.. Mansour
knew details of Agriculture De-
partment purchases within a few
hours after they were made.
The Agriculture Department in
vestigated its entire cotton branch
and made some of the resulting in
formation available to the Senate
committee. This information was
the basis of the Senate hearings
The committee, however, never
has obtained the complete report
made by the Agriculture Depart
ment investigators.

Carey Says Big Firms Help
Union Led by Reds to Survive
CIO OfficioI Singles Out General Electric,
Calls Stund on UE Close to Treason

determination charges. After a
bitter fight, the CIO set up an
opposition union, the International
Union of Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers, which Mr..
Carey now heads.
The witness charged that "mul-
ti-million dollar corporations of
our industry" have committed
something very close to treason"
in assisting the survival of UE."
Singles Out General Electric.
Mr.. Carey named no other cor
porations, but said General Elec-
trio has used communism as the
decisive force with far greater sue
cess than any other major cor
|poration." He added:
II am aware that perhaps to the
average American it may ap-
pear absurdly paradoxical that
such towering pillar of capital
ism as General Electric would en-
courage communism - capital
ism's deadly enemy. But there is
no absurdity in the calculated
manner in which GEES encourage
ment of the Communist United
Electrical Workers has paid off
UE has been, and still is, worth
untold millions Of dollars to Cen
eral Electric in money not paid
out in wage gains and other con-
tract improvements"
Mr.. Carey opposed legislation to
attack the problem of Red-domi-
mated unions. Instead. he proposed
an administrative solution by the
Munitions Board, which handles
defense contracts.
The witness proposed that the
board set up a committee to rule
on questions of Communist domi-
nation. If the committee found
any union to be so controlled. he
said, the board should refuse to
grant contracts-or revoke exist
ling contracts-to any employer
bargaining with that union. If no
other manufacturing facilities are
available, the contractor should be
enjoined from dealing with the
union. he said.
Small's Warning Recalled.
Munitions Board Chairman .Iohn
D. Small warned the committee
two months ago that some defense
contracts involve unions DOM
mated by Communists. He cited
plants where the UE is the COL
lective bargaining agent.
AS Mr.. Carey took the witness
chair. he said he wanted to waive
any rights of constitutional i'm
in connection with his tes-
timony.
He then cited numerous inves-
legations of the UE and recounted
GE activities which he said backed
up his charge that GE has sup
ported the union. In 1948, he
said, GE plant managers looked
the other way" as UE leaders ig-
nored union matters to campaign
for the Henry Wallace presidential
try. After the election, the UE-
management relations were in
such a mess that nothing in the
world could straighten them out, "
he declared.
The witness charged also that
GE showed a preference for UE
"at critical juncture of IUE-
CLOS uphill battle with UE." This
played a part in preventing IUE
from completely eliminating UE
from the General Electric system,
Mr.. Carey said.
The CIO leader said GE faxed
neutrality" during the bitter union
struggle. He said a GE newspaper
advertisement in 1948 damned
with equal fervor Communism and
anti Communism, democratic un-
ionism and totalitarian unionism." I"

6. 0. P. Charges Point

By Gould Lincoln
cxor S&o|

NEW YORK, June 13.-As Gen
Eisenhower headed for his Gettys-
burg farm and a meeting with
Pennsylvania delegates today, q
terrific battle, with no holds
barred. was shaping up between
the Taft and Eisenhower forces
in the Republican national con-
vention.
Statements made here by both
Senator Taft of Ohio and Sen
ator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Eisenhower campaign manager
clearly indicated this.
The Ohio Senator, replying tc
charges by the Eisenhower forces
that Taft supporters had stolen
delegates to the national conven-
ton in Texas and Louisiana ano
by Steamrolle: methods had
brought about the selection of pro-
Taft men for officers of the con-
vention, said:
80 far as ruthless treatment is
concerned. the Eisenhower people
have used their power wherever
they had it to the fullest extent
as in the election of delegates in
Rhode Island and Kansas.
Il see no reason why the Taft
people shouldn't do the same
thing, so long as they stay within
the rules of the party"
Senator Lodge came right back
at the Ohioan. He said that the
'Reece ingalls, Hallanan team"
to make a "rabid Taft
partisan"-Walter S. Hallanan,
Taft campaign manager in West
Virginia-temporary chairman OF
the national convention. A parti-
san temporary chairman, Senator
Lodge pointed out, would be in
position to rule arbitrarily on the
seating of contested delegates and
other vital questions.
The Senator added the Eisen-
hover forces may make their first
challenge Of the Taft streamroller
methods by putting up a candidate
for temporary chairman against
Mr.. Hallanan.
THAT is q matter of tactics tc
which we will give consideration
between now and the convention,
Senator Lodge said. 1.-The Com
