BY the Associoted Press

Testimony was presented in
Alexandria District Court yester-
day that three members of the
Maritime Commission approved
transfer Of the surplus tanker
Meacham to a company financed
by Chinese aliens.
The Meacham was one Of eight
tankers sold by the Maritime Com
mission in 1947 and 1948 to a
group headed by former Repre-
sentative Joseph E. Casey, Demo-
crat, Of Massachusetts,. It figured
in a recent Senate committee in
vestigation Of quick profits on sur
plus Government ships.
The Government claims forfei-
ture of the Meacham on the
grounds that it was transferred to
a company controlled by Chinese
in violation Of a shipping law re-
quiring ownership of American
flag vessels by American citizens
Houston H. Wasson, New York
attorney for. United Tanker Corp,
Testified that Chinese interests
provided the financing but held
minority voting stock interest in
1.-THE corporation which acquired
1.-THE Meacham from the Casey
group.
Mr.. Wasson is a law partner of
Newbold Morris, who served
briefly as the Governments chief
corruption hunter and who heads
China international Foundation, a
charitable organization to which
the stock of United Tanker subse-
quently was donated.
Mr.. Wasson testified that E
Stanley Klein, an associate of Mr.
Casey in the National Tanker
Corp, which acquired the Mea-
cham from the Government, in
formed him that three members
of the Maritime Commission knew
and approved the arrangement for
charter of the ship to United
Tanker with an option to buy all
the stock of National Tanker.
Mrs. Casey testified earlier in
the trial that the stock of National
Tanker, representing an original
investment Of $1,000, was sold to
United Tanker for $450,000.

For Woman Ministers
Oy the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va. June 20.-
Women ministers in the Church
of the Brethren will be on a par
with men-provided certain "ifs''
are met.
Women hereafter may be en-
titled to the church's full minis
terial privileges if
They are already classed as
pastors.
The district ministerial board
gives its approval.
The local congregation approves
too.
No sooner had the suggestion
that women be given a higher
status in the church come before
the 166th Brethren Conference
here than a lively floor debate was
under way.
Opponents said there was nc
authority in the New Testament
for giving women such privileges
In addition, they argued that
equal rights would impose an un-
duly administrative burden upon
the women.
Advocates of equal rights
stressed the need for more min
listers and asserted that sex
should be no bar to equality,
provided qualifications are good
The conference finally voted to
give the women equal status
with the provisional ifs-by a
margin of 820>to SIS.
In other business at yesterdays
session, the church elected DR.

A mountain of wastepaper, said
to house an army Of rats, Is caus-
ing heap of trouble for all con-
cerned out in Northeast.
And unless it starts making like
a molehill before June 28, the
courts may be called on to assist.
According to Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Clark King, about
1,500 tons of the stuff are piled up
beside the railroad tracks at
Fourth and Morse streets NE. He
said it comes from the waste
baskets of Government buildings
and has been there since October.
The Fire Department says the
mountain is a fire hazard. and has
ordered it removed.
The Health Department says it
literally Stinks and provides ritzy
living quarters for rats, besides.
Citing the Union Market nearby,
they too have ordered the noun
tain to move.
Ofhcials of the Penn Paper and
Stock Co. of 1916 lexington place
NE, which lays reluctant claim
to the monster, would say nothing
to reporters.
But Deputy Fire Marshal Ray A,
Warf1eld would. According to him,
the firm buys from the Govern
ment, and usually sells the paper
to plants in Pennsylvania. For
some reason, he said, nobody seems
to want to buy right now.
The District incinerator and
dump refused to take over, he said,
so the company has had to start
hauling it to a farm in Virginia.

to look at the mountain himself

Angus Ward Raised
To Ambassador Rank
For Afghanistan Post

Angus Ward, American diplo-
mat who was Jailed by Com
munists in Manchuria in 1949,
today was named Ambassador to
Afghanistan.
President Truman also sent to
the Senate the nomination Of
Phelps Phelps, Governor of the
Pacific Island of Samoa for the
last year, to be Ambassador to
the Dominican Republic.
Mr.. Ward, 60, a veteran of q
years in the foreign service, has
been consul general at Nairopi
Kenya Colony. for nearly two
years.
Put in Jail for a Month.
While consul general at Muk-
den. Manchuria, he was jailed for
a month by the Chinese Com
munistS there in the fall Of 1949
on charges of beating two Chinese
laborers.
The Communists convicted Mr.
Ward and four others of his staff
on what the State Department
called trumped-up charges. They
got sentences varying from three
to six months, but these were
commuted to deportation.
Mr.. Ward and his consulate
staff had been detained under
house arrest in the consular COM
pound for a year before the jail
ing incident. The Communists
had continually refused permis.
sion for them to leave until after
the deportation orders. Mr.. Ware
returned to the States early ir
1850 in poor health. He was or

assigned to Nairobi.
Post Called Important.
There were charges at the time
that the Nairobi assignment
meant he was being put in the
"dog house." but State Depart.
ment officials insisted it was ar
important post.
The Afghanistan assignment,
promoting Mr.. Ward to the rank
Of Ambassador, is considered more
lin line with his experience and
abilities. however. He will be ex-
Ipected to check there on reports of
Russian effort sat subversion. Mr..
Ward served in the American En-
