fund he was handling.
The agent was identified as

His case was aired in a public
hearing by the House Ways and
Means subcommittee headed by
Representative King, Democrat, OF

mittee in the New York area.
Ash i'm Hospital.
Mr.. Ash himself was not pres
ent. The special agent testified
that he is in New York's Beth

ture company that entertained
Mr.. Ash in one of Los Angeles
swank hotels as the Universal Pic
lures Co., which claimed the $40
million refund of excess profits
taxes for the years 1924.
The agent said an investigation
revealed that Universal paid the
hotel bill for Mr.. Ash, his wife and
son at the Beverly Wiltshire Hotel

that the company paid for plane
tickets for Mrs. Ash and the son
to Los Angeles shortly before

that. in. the 1946-5O period Mr..
Ash spent $62,300 while his in

During the same period, it was
brought out, the agent also in
creased his bank deposits, annu-
tiles. United States Bond holdings
and stocks and reduced his mort
gage by approximately $4,000.
Settlement Still Pending.
Mr.. Giunta testified Mr.. Ash
wrote a report which would have
given Universal, if it had been
adopted, approximately the full
amount of the refund being
sought.
He added, however, that the
company's claims for base earn
ings for the 1924 period were
reduced by about IS per cent
when the agents report was re-
viewed. Final settlement of the
case is still pending.

Asked what would happen If

Mr.. Mckinney said:

finished"
The chairman said that 1t was
generally agreed" that If the
President does not run he will
make his position clear in plenty
| of time for other candidates to
| get in their build-up.
Mr.. McKinney''s statement took
on added meaning as q result of
an abrupt telegram from him
which plunged a coalition Of Cali
fornia Democrats into confusion
last night.
Mr.. Mckinney wired them-ob-
Iviously on direct orders Of the
lPresident--to take Mr.. Truman's
name out Of that primary. Sena-
tor Kefauver of Tennessee now Is
the only Democrat entered there
but Senator Russell of Georgia
told a reporter he is considering
making it contest.
Doubt Strengthened.
Mr.. McKinney's action strength
ened the belief in many quarters
here that Mr.. Truman has finally
decided he does not choose to run
again.
! Mr.. Mckinney, who is leaving
Key West today aboard his So
foot cabin cruiser after a two-day
visit at the Little White House, -
told reporters that he had no more
idea now whether President Tru-
man would run again than he did
before he came down here. He
has his own opinion, he stressed,
but he would not express it.
If the President does not run,
he said, he will not attempt to
name his successor.
HE does not seek to be king
maker-nor do T." the chairman
said.
While Mr.. Mckinney expressed
hope that the trouble in Korea
would be resolved" soon, he adj
mitted that it was more <"wishful
thinking" on his part, than any
thing else. He said that every
body seems to think. that this
thing can't be dragged out"
Asked If absence of a settlement
in Korea could hurt the chances
of the Democratic presidential
candidate, he said that it could.
Following Own Thinking.
/ Asked why he thought that q
settlement in Korea would per-
suade the President not to run,
Mr.. Mckinney said he was simply
following through with his own
thinking under similar cir
lcumStanceS.
What other worlds are there
Ito conquer?" he asked.
j Chairman Mckinney said, too
that In his opinion the Korean
war is the paramount issue
lin the minds Of the people. He
has come to this conclusion after

ltinued.

"You know, there is lot of talk

Hartman termed the Point Four

said that it was must, regardless
of the communist menace, because
it does give helping hand to peo-
