1ide|ands Lease Plan
Abandoned by U. s.,
Chapman Disc|oses
BY the Associated Press

The Government has abandoned
a plan to lease offshore oil and
gas lands under authority of the
Surplus Property Act, Secretary
|of Interior Chapman disclosed
yesterday.
He told the Senate Judiciary
Committee that "the President
Iconcurred in a recommendation
that I made to the effect that nc
further consideration be given to
the possibility of such a leasing
program.
He told the committee presi-
dental approval would have been
necessary for him to act under
authority of an undated order
signed by General Services Ad-
ministrator Jess Larson. The
order was never made effective.
Mr.. Chapman said recent public
discussions of the situation would
adversely affect the Governments S
interest regarding leases. He
added that this was the reason
the President thought the plan
should be dropped.
Mr., Chapman said he was
amazed" that Senator Holland,
Democrat, of Florida, had not
heard of the proposed move and
submitted to the committee photo
static copies of newspaper stories
and correspondence he has had
with numerous Congressman stat
ing such a program was under
consideration.
The inquiry was called at the
request of the Florida Senator,
who said he had been refused
permission by Secretary Chapman
to see official correspondence on
the subject between the Justice
and Interior Departments.
Senator Holland charged before
the committee that until he had
brought the subject up, there had
been no disclosures of the full
facts. ....
He accused the Interior Depart
ment of trying to bypass" Con-
greSs, which has refused to pass
legislation giving the Federal
Government control of the tide
lands.
Now awaiting action in the
Senate is the question of over
riding or sustaining a presidential
veto of legislation giving the States
clear title to the submerged
coastal lands.

Einstein Denounced
By Soviet Professor
AS Contrary 10 Marx
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, June ia Soviet
Iacademician assailed the physicist
Albert Einstein, today on the
grounds that DR.. Einstein's theo-
ries are contrary to "dialectical
|materialism," the guiding theory
of Marxism.
Writing in the Soviet navy news
paper Red Fleet, A. A. Maximov
said DR.. Einstein had dragged
physics Into the swamp of ideal
ism" DR.. Einstein, he said, was
guilty of "subjectivism.' while the
thesis of "objectivity of material
nature" is basic to dialectical ma
terialism.
The article then denounced GER
tain Soviet physicists for holding
view similar to those of DR.. Elm
stein, singing out Y. I. Frenkel
and L. I. Mandelshtam as ''propa-
gandists for Einstein's work"
Prof. Maximov then complained
that Soviet theoretical achieve
ments in physics Jagged behind the
practical attainments, and called
for overcoming such backward
materialism" by more bold crea-
tive work from Soviet physicists. !"
William L. Ryan, Associated
Press foreign news analyst, writes
DR.. Einstein's theories actually
have been taught in Moscow Uni
versity, and even the SovietS-
since they are known to have the
atom bomb-must have used the
Einstein approach, which is gen.
erally acknowledged to have been
the starting point of the atom
bomb.
The article obviously is meant
to be read not by scientists but
by the sailors and officers to whom
Red Fleet is directed. The tenor
of the article is suspiciously anti
semitic, since it singles out not
only DR.. Einstein but two Soviet
scientists with apparently Jewish
names.
This same approach has been
used in other fields against sue
cessful Soviet persons OF Jewish
origin.
The terms "subjectivism" and
"objectivity Of material nature" in
relation to dialectical materialism
cannot but be gibberish to the
sailors who read Red Fleet. The
real intention Of the article seems
to be other than scientific dis
course.

Senator'S Reject Plan
For Active Admiral
AS Maritime Director
BY the Assoeiated Press

Senators disclosed today that
they had rejected an informal ap-
proach by President Truman to
make Vice Admiral William M.
Callaghan head of the Maritime
Administration.
The admiral is on active duty,
so special legislation would be
needed before the Senate could
pass on his nomination.
Causes ClOakr0om Comment.
The Presidents unusual maneu-
yer of first sounding out Chairman
Russell of the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee about chances for
the legislation has caused cloak
room comment.
1t was learned that Senator
Hunt. Democrat, of Wyoming. as
acting chairman, brought the
Truman letter up at a closed-door
committee session yesterday and
a poll of the committee brought a
negative answer.
This is civilian job. and we
feel it is wrong to make exceptions
for active duty officers in the reg
ular services" one Republican
committeeman told a reporter.
Previous Plea Denied.
Two years ago the President
tried to put 1t. Gen. Laurence
is. Kuter of the Air Force on the
Civil Aeronautics Board by max
ing direct request for special
legislation allowing him to retain
his pay and military rank while
serving in the civilian job.
The request was rejected. Gen.
Kuter now is deputy chief of the
air staff in charge of personnel.
Admiral Callaghan now heads
the Military Sea Transportation
Service. the unified service ocean
transport agency.
Senators said the President is
seeking a replacement for E. l..
Cochrane, retired vice admiral,
as head of the Maritime Agency.

bauman Describes
Barrett as Shocking
And Sorry Spectacle

The atmosphere surrounding
events revealed by the Senate
District Crime Committee "be-
speaks a certain arrogance-a
kind of contempt for public reac-
tion." Committee Counsel Arnold
Bauman said last night.
Mr.. Bauman spoke during the
annual meeting of the Central
Suffrage Conference.
Still Hard to Believe.
II still find it difficult to believe
that the former chief of police
availed himself of the privilege
against self determination in talk
ing about finances, but that is
just what happened" he declared.
In the light of such leadership
it is understandable that some of
the other top officers of the de-
partment might find themselves
unable to make explanations for
their own affluence."
He called former Police Chief
Robert j. Barrett's refusal to talk
about his personal finances a
"sorry and shocking spectacle"
Mr.. Barrett, called before the
committee Tuesday, said he would
refuse to answer questions CEN
tering on committee charges he
spent $17,400 more than his ad-
mitted income during a 33-month
period.
Others Remain Silent.
Other top officials had not been
able to explain heavy expendi-
lures and cash transactions. In
Spector Albert I. Bullock could not
say where $4,000 came from dur
ing 30-montf period, and In
spector Beverly c. Beach could
not explain $4,000 in cash de-
positS over a similar period. Both
have been suspended.
1T indicates to me a sense of
security which did not admit the
possibility of purposeful investi-
CATION" Mr.. Bauman said after
reviewing the revelations.
He expressed the hope that the
Commissioners will deal prompt
ly. fairly and firmly" with the
situation.
