Support in House Fighl
For Subpoena Power
By GEORGE Beveridoe

Chairman Celler Of the House
Judiciary Committee today took
strong issue with q Senate COM
|mitteee's refusal to give Newbold
Morris subpoena powers and said
|he is going to fight" for such a
grant on his side Of Capitol Hill.
The controversy over the sub
|poena question heightened. as Mr..
Morris announced distribution of
1896 questionnaires to top Justice
Department officials. They are the
first Of thousands of the forms he
Iplans to send out. seeking extern
lsive data about income sources Of
|high-level Government employees.
At a press conference late yes

Aid From President.
Reminded later that he has said
|he needs the subpoena authority in
order to conduct q successful in
|quiry. Mr.. Morris said he still feels
|he needs it. But he added:
Since I made that remark, the
President has acquiesced to every
request have made as far as the
Executive Branch is concerned.
II think performance is required
|by the American people. and I'm
going to do the best I can"
The Senate committees action
was to scrap a bill containing Mr..
Truman's request Of specific
powers for Mr.. Morris. Instead.
it voted unanimous approval of
"a substitute measure taking "a
new approach"
The new bill would:
/. Authorize the President to
appoint new investigator-and
up to five deputieS-who would
have the subpoena powers, but
whose appointments would be
subject to Senate confirmation. It
would set a $4,000 salary for the
chief appointee and $18.000 for
each Of the deputies.
Could Obtain Documents.
2. Give congressional investi-
gators the right to subpoena
documents obtained by the clean
up director from any source. /"
Mr.. Truman. however, would be
empowered to withhold any docu-
ments necessary to 'the interest
of national security"
Asked If the original bill, which
named Mr.. Morris, was dead,
Chairman McCarran told re-
porters:
eyes. but it is not yet inferred. /"
While no vote was taken on, the
original measure, the chairman
said, the group was "quite in ac-
cord that powers could not be
granted to this specific investiga-
tor"
Senator McCarran and other
members of the committee, invoic-
ing objection to the original bill,
protested against Mr.. Morris ex-
plosive testimony las week before
the Senate inquiry of surplus ship
deals.
Celler Says Morris Cleared.
Mr.. Celler said his House COM
mittee also had held up action on
the subpoena question until Mr..
Morris explained his part in the
tanker deals. But he said he was
convinced Mr.. Morris was cleared
|of wrongdoing." He added:
$50 far as I can see, he merely
acted as a lawyer, and nothing OF
moral turpitude was attributed to
him"
Asked for comment on the Sen
ate action. Mr.. Celler said he did

Drilling Rig-on
kendrick Land
Changing Location

Recent developments in oil
drilling activities of the G., j.
Greer estate in~the Nine Mile
area reveal that the No. l well
on the Kendrick land, located
on Sc Sc SW Sec. a., IN, 34E,
is a "shot" hole at near 5000
feet, and the rotary rig is being
moved to a new location in the
area.
From fragmentary reports it
appears that several of these
wells will he drilled to test
upper formations, such as the
Dakota and Sundance, before a
deep test to the Ordovician is
attempted in this section.
Drilling of the preliminary
tests will involve considerable
expenditure, costing $4,000 to
$4,000 each. A test to the Or
dovician in this section will
cost more than $150,O00.
Attempts to get oil produc-
ton in the upper formations
will reveal strata information
which will be useful in deter
mining the location or the deep
test.

RippHng
of the Rivers

Before you neglect to vote, on
the grounds that your one vote
doesn't mean anything, consid-
er the following:
Thomas Jefferson b e C anne
President by a one-vote edge in
the electoral college.
John Quincy Adams likewise
achieved the presidency by one
vote. E.-.
Rutherford B. Hayes got in
to the White House by one
vote. His election was contest
ed and once again he won by a
single vote. The man who cast
the deciding vote for Hayes was
a congressman from Indiana,
a, lawyer who was elected to
Congress by a margin of one
vote. And that one vote, was
cast for him by a client. who
insisted upon being carried TIC
the polls, although desperately
ill. @%53
Just one vote gave statehood
to California, Idaho, Oregon
Texas and Westinghouse that
all the millions now living in
those five states are Americans
by just one vote.
And if you think all this was
so far in the past that it does
not have any bearing upon
modern conditions, remembel
that as late as, 1941, the law
extending military duty for 9
large part of our Army passed
the House by one vote, just be-
fore Pearl Harbor.
