Arms Order
Won't Go 10 Plants
With Red Unions
Defense and Security
Officials in Agreement
On Contract Policy
Nv lohn A (.iIes
By John A. Giles

The military services have
started to place contracts for the
production Of weapons in Eu-
rope, favoring those plants whose
unions are free Of Communist
domination"
Approximately $500 million has
been set aside for the overseas
production program by the three
armed services this fiscal year.
The announcement Of the pro-
gram by the Defense Department
yesterday apparently brought to
an end a split between the Mutual
Security Administration and the
Army on policy governing the
awarding of contracts abroad for
goods manufactured under the
foreign aid program. The issue
was whether contracts should be
given to low bidders or non-Com-
muniStS.
Agency's Policy.
The agency adopted the prin-
ciple that such overseas con-
tracts should not be awarded to
plants in which the trade unions
are led by Reds.
The Army, which handles q
large part of the actual procure
ment abroad, contended contracts
must be awarded to the lowest
bidder on the basis of long stand
ing department regulations. The
Army said that it would be inapos-
sible to let any contracts in GER
tain European countries such as
France, If the Communist ban
were followed, and pointed out
that no such check was being
made on domestic contracts. Top
procurement officers said that It
would be virtually impossible to
obtain some items II contracts
were let only to plants whose
unions are not Red -dominated.
Two Reasons Listed.
The Mutual Security Agency
said that contracts should be
withheld from Communist-union-
lied factories because ID security
might be in jeopardy II influential
and responsible union officials on
an important defense contract
were Reds. and ca because Com
munists would be getting work
while non Communists might re-
main unemployed.
Each contractor under the pro-
gram win be required to state
that he win abide by the labor
laws and regulations Of his coun-
try.
Prices paid must be justifiahle
In comparison to similar procure
ment in this country.

If Morris Gets Immunity Powe,

Prosecution for Serious Wrong Doing

with the greatest danger, regard
less of the high character of the
individual vested with such great
power" He added:
ITO authorize such a temporary
assistant to hold blameless for
even criminal wrong doing a pub
lie official under any circum-
stances which Mr.. Morris person
ally deems sufficient, is too far
reaching power to be granted
by this temporary measure"
Mr.. Truman's proposal would
give the broad powers to Mr.. Nor
ris, special assistant to Attorney
General McGrath, only until the
end Of this year.
The administration argument
for the immunity power is aimed
at getting testimony from wit
nesses who might refuse to answer
questions on the basis of the
constitutional guarantee against
Standardization. Under the
White House proposal, such wit
nesses could not refuse to testify
on this ground. But if they testi-

tutional right-Mr. Morris could
give them immunity from future
prosecution.

On Tax Case
Ex-Commissioner
Put Under Subpoena
By King Committee
BY the Associated Press

A congressional investigation of
a Midwest brewery tax case and
Joseph D. Nunan, jr., former In.
lternal Revenue Commissioner, APP
peared in the works last night.
Conflicting accounts had arisen
over whether Mr.. Nunan had,
after leaving Government service,
represented the brewery or ac-|
Icepted fees from it. Mr.. Nunan
said he had not.
He has been put under subpoena
by House Ways and Means sub
committee headed by Representa-
tive King of California. for an
appearance here. possibly this
week, committee source said.
The King committee has been
conducting a lengthy inquiry into
the scandal-struck Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau.
Questioned Previously.
The committee previously has
taken testimony from Mr.. Nunan
in closed session about the activi-
ties Of James B. e. Olson, former
lily Of the New York Alcohol Tax
Unit.
This latest fiareup was touched
off by Senator Williams, Republic
can, Of Delaware, when he reported
lin a Senate speech that Mr..
Nunan was given special permis-
sion to represent the now defunct
Indianapolis Brewing Co. Mr.. Will
liams also questioned whether the
Government got what was due it.
MIR. Nunan promptly denied he
ever represented the brewery, or
accepted fees from it. He said he
did not recall ever asking per-
mission to represent it.
Waiver Report Verified.
The Internal Revenue Bureau,
agreeing with Senator Williams
on one point, said waivers were
issued to Mr.. Nunan to represent
the brewery and eight other firms
in tax cases shortly after he quit
his Government job in June, 1947.
Federal law bars certain Gov
eminent officials from represent
ing clients in tax cases against the
Government within two years
after they leave Office. However,
they may obtain waivers In some
circumstances.
Lawrence p. Bardin, former
general manager Of the Indian
|apolis brewery, said In Houston,
Tex, Mr.. Nunan had represented
him. but not the firm, in a tax
case. He said Mr.. Nunan still
represents him.

Iranian Oil Settlement
Must Not ENCOURAGE
Seizures, Wiley Says
Senator Fears Proposed
World Bunk Plan Would
Influence Other Countries
BY The Assoeioted Pres,


Senator Wiley. Republican, OF
Wisconsin cautioned yesterday
against any settlement Of the
Anglo-Iranian oil dispute which
would encourage confiscation OF
other rich Oil properties in the
world.
Senator Wiley. top-ranking Re-
publican on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, raised this
issue in a letter to Eugene Black
president of the International
Bank for Reconstruction and De-
velopment.
The World Bank now has mis-
sion in Iran seeking to arrange
for resumption of Iranian oil pro-
duction. shut down in a dispute
with Britain over Trans national
ization Of the industry. The mis-
sion has proposed that the bank
operate the industry until Iran
and Great Britain agree on a
settlement. The industry was
seized from British control.
Mossadegh to Try Again.
Iranian Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh declared today mo way
lis left for agreement" with the
bank mission, but he later agreed
to make another effort. He was
under reported pressure from
Iranian Senators.
The bank delegates spent 81
hours at the bedside Of Mr.
Mossadegh yesterday but reported
no progress in the conference
They agreed to meet him again
today for what one informed
Irania1l source said may be the
last time.
Senator Wiley said in his letter
to Mr.. Black that he is deeply
concerned that the contemplated
action of the bank in Iran would
encourage governments every
where in the world to embark upon
ia policy of conf1scatory action in
violation of their contractural OBJ
legations"
The Senator also expressed
doubt that the bank "has au-
thority under its charter to take
control of the Iranian oil indus
try"
Senator Wiley said the bank
offer to operate the Iranian oil
industries could create more
problems than it solves"
Russian Threat Seen.
"a very real danger does exist
that the British oil installations
in Iran may fall under Russian
control" Senator Wiley said.
THAT possibility must never be-
come q reality"
Senator Wiley said the bank
must be certain that the terms
of arrangement it proposes to
make with the Iranian govern
ment do not encourage the gov
ernments of a score of other oil
producing countries to confiscate
or appropriate the properties Of
Oil producing companies there. "
Irresponsible political elements.
often Communist groups, are
pressing for confiscation Of all
foreign operated petroleum COM
panies," Wiley said. "Such con-
fiscation, by depriving the free
world Of its principal sources Of
petroleum, would create problems
far more serious than the exist
ing dangers in Iran.
I'm swerving to avoid the Rus
sian menace in one part Of the
world, let us look first to see that

ests everywhere else"

Agree To Drop Phrase.
The Federation agreed to
dropping inspection "by au-
thorized persons" from the word
ing Of the resolution as presented
originally by the Public Welfare
Committee and its chairman.
Chester F. Bletch.
Mr.. Bletch explained the res
olution was the outcome Of ac-
ton by the Petworth Citizens AS
ISOLATION. which wanted the relief
rolls open to inspection on the
ground that taxpayers are en-
titled to know how their money
is being spent.
The chairman pointed out that
under the resolution inspection
of the relief rolls would not be,
open 10 every one. There was no
discussion on whether the press
was to be among those authorized
to inspect them. Mr.. Bletch said
that in 1851 relief rolls totaled
and averaged 1886
cases.
Some speakers claimed that
opening the rolls to public inspec-
ton would permit creditors to
gain information.
Kaufman Opposes Move.
The fight against adoption was
led by Joseph A. Kaufman, who
told the Federation that landlords
would refuse to rent to people on
relief rolls. He commended pub
licity would not deter that small
segment not really entitled to re-
lief; inspection should be limited
to authorized agencies and con-
tended good people needing relief
would be starved out, If their
names were to be made public,
because Of pride.
Others who supported this view
included: DR.. M. Virginia O'Neil,
Thomas B. Scott, who commended
no charge had been made that
the administrative body supervis-
ing relief had failed to do ito
job. and Mrs. Leslie B. Wright.
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard told
the federation that the citizens
want the relief rolls open to the
public. Others said that reliefers
were not paying their rent and
discussion brought out they could
not be compelled to do so. under
the rules.

Reds in effect the United Nations
command would accept the pro-
posal If the Reds in turn would
agree to the Allied Interpretation
of it.
A pooled dispatch from PAN
munjom said Admiral Joy made it
clear the Allies still wanted the
scope Of the conference limited to
Korean problems.
The full dress meeting Of Allied
and Red negotiators lasted a total
of only 10 minutes. Staff officer
sessions were to begin later.
Another plenary session was
scheduled for tomorrow.
In yesterdays session, Allied
delegates nominated Switzerland,
Norway and Sweden as neutral
nations to help police the truce.
The Reds indicated acceptance.
Then, after the brief plenary
session on a postwar political con-
ference, North Korean Col. Chang
Chun San proposed abruptly that
the Soviet Union, Poland and
Czechoslovakia be the other three
neutrals invited to supervise a
truce.
Reasons Called Obvious.
Col. Don o. Darrow, the SEN
ior Allied staff officer. replied
promptly: -.
II am authorized to state that
Poland and Czechoslovakia are
acceptable to the United Nations
command. The Soviet Unien is
mot acceptable"
Col. Chang showed surprise,
Saying, "We fail to find any reason
why your side should oppose our
suggestion.
Col. Darrew reminded him that
both sides had agreed to invite
only those nations which have
not participated In the Korean
war;" and added:
II should think it would be OBJ
vious to your side why the Soviet
Union Is not acceptable as a
neutral nation"
