Afternoon.

NATO. headed by w. Avere1l Har-

Senate Unit Disc|oses
Casey Group S Profit
On Surplus Tankers
I $3:25 Million Figure
Tops Previous Estimates
As Open Hearings Begin
By Robert K. Walsh

A firm set up in 1947 by former
Representative Joseph E. Casey of
Massachusetts, and two others
with an initial outlay of only
81 200 bought surplus war tankers
from the Government and sold
them at a $3.50 900 profit in 1850,
Ia Senate subcommittee disclosed
today.
The eventual total capitaliza-
ton of the American Overseas
Tanker Corp. was $101 900. The
subcommittee, at the start of open
hearings on the complicated trans
action involving the Maritime
Commission, brought out that Mr..
Casey Julius c Holmes, now Min
lister at the. United States En-
bassy in London, and E. Stanley
Klein of New York. each put $4OO
in that company when they estab-
lished it in August, 1947. Later
there were other stockholders, in
cluding the. late Secretary of
State, Edward R. Stettinius, jr.,
and Fleet Admiral William F.
'Halsey.
Concerns Eight Tankers.
Senator Hoey. Democrat. of
South Carolina, chairman of the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee, said the study to date has
shown the need for further in
|quiries into the sale of Govern
ment-oWned tankers to various
corporations" For the present
the inquiry will examine only the
purchase and resale of eight
tankers to the Casey group, with
particular reference to five of the
tankers which were operated un-
der Panamanian registery.
The subcommittee, Senator
Hoey announced. also was to de-
termine" particularly whether
taxes were avoided by any of
the persons or corporations in the
transactions.
Paid No Income Tax.
Testimony by William A. Leece,
assistant counsel for the subcom-
mittee. indicated the American
Overseas Tanker Corp. paid no
United States income taxes. The
corporation chartered the vessels
to the Greenwich Marine Corp,
a company having the same stock
holders. and the tankers then
were subchartered to the Panama
Transport Corp.
The parent company's books
showed an annual operating loss
largely because of depreciation,
Mr., Leece' explained. He noted
that the second company showed
an operating profit, but as a
foreign concern. did not have to
pay United States income taxes.
Mr.. Leece pointed out that on
the day after it was incorporated
by Mr.. Casey, as president, Mr..
Holmes as vice president and secre-
tary. and Mr.. Klein, the tanker
company applied to the Maritime
Commission for purchase of 20
surplus tankers. The commission
authorized the sale of eight four
months later.
Traces Details of Loan.
Mr.. Leece traced in detail the
complex moves by which a loan
of So. zoe, 900 at 3 per cent interest
was obtained from the Metropoli-

Parents of Youths

Widespread arrests of teen-age
boys have solved % housebreak-
ings and is auto thefts, police said
today.
Four more of the juveniles
were brought in for questioning
today, bringing the week end
roundup to IA.
AS the roundup and question:
ing continued. parents of several
|of the suspects blamed pinball
machines for gobbling up their
sons spending money and driving
them to steal.
In one case. police said, one Of
the youths entered house while
the owner was away, carried of
Ia 75-pound television set, put it
IlR the owners car and drove
away.
More Arrests Possible.
Eighth precinct police, already
investigating the wave of house
breakings in recent weeks, went
into full action late last week
when two members of the loosely
knit gang staged five robberies
within an hour.
The cases aren't closed by any
means, police say. They may
still bring in more suspects.
They minimized reports that q
youthful master mind" may be
behind the "thrill-seeking" ex-
ploits, although they admit that
at least two of those held by
juvenile authorities have police
records.
Parents of at least two of the
suspects denounced pinball ma
chimes, declaring their sons were
lsquandering money on them. The
parents also discussed possibility
OF getting civic action against the
devices, police said.
Statement by Corning.
From School Supt. Hobart M,
Corning came a statement that
L believe the schools are doing
what they can and certainly so
in the case of Woodrow Wilson
High School,"
The suspects range in age from
IS to IT.
This matter is entirely out OF
the hands of the schools" he said.
we undertake at the schools to
supply as many activities as we
can, both to broaden the children
and to occupy their time 81, IL
These activities are designed to
fill the afternoon hours after
school. The children are supposed
to be studying at night and we
feel the parental responsibility
for that study is very strong. I
do not. however. wish to imply
severe criticism in these cases. for
the parents involved certainly
have very large and difficult
burden to bear"
Capt. John Ryan, head OF the
juvenile squad, said the biggest
task now confronting police would
be to determine which of the Il
youths now held are responsible
for which robbery.

Three of the youths were picked
up yesterday, although they have
not been charged. The rest Of

Truman Seeks
$3.50 Million
For Pay Raises
Supplemental Sum
Would Cover Boosts
Approved Lost Year
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today askec
Congress for a supplemental ap-
preparation of $36O,248, ,3o6, tc
cover the 10 per cent pay increase
voted for Government workers
last year.
The President also asked that
$12 million of the money be allo-
Gated to so-called "ungraded en-
ployeS" and that in the case of
these, their increase also be made
retroactive to July 8 as was that
OF the other workers.
In addition to the money, the
President asked for supplemental
appropriations totalling $12,-
273,000 for the Commerce, De-
tense, Interior and Labor Depart
mentS.
Needed for PayrolIs.
Most agencies need the money
to meet their payrolls between
now. and June 80 when the fiscal
year ends. Without additional
funds, the agencies say they
would have to lay off thousands
Of employees.
The October pay raise law gave
an average increase of 9.4 per
cent to the Governments classi-
fed employees and minimum
$400 boost to postal workers. The
increases were retroactive to last
July 8.
Since Congress passed the leg
1slation in the closing days of
last years session, there was no
time to vote the actual funds to
pay for the increase. Admins
tration officials expect the funds
will be voted without difficulty.
Says Savings Can Pay As per cent.
The President explained in a
statement covering requested pay
appropriation that the total cost
Of the increase is $69S, 1922 ,889, of
which $311,158,938. or As per cent
"can be met by saving arising
from adoption of the graduated
leave law, other savings possible
by administrative action, increases
in limitations on administrative
expenses and trust and revolving
funds, and transfers of funds from
one account to another within
the same agency"
The President explained that
the remaining 1853, ,9O6, or SIS
per cent of the total cost will re-
quire supplemental appropriations,
but $27 AIS. 800 is covered in sepa-
rate submissions, leaving the bal
ance to be provided in the request
going up today.
The President explained that
the money covers legislation ap-
proved last October for employees
under the Classification Act and
other groups in executive, leglsla-
tive and judicial branches; the
Postal Service and police, firemen,
teachers and other employees in the
District, Federal and Canal Zone
governments.
Request for Ungraded.
In covering an increase for the
$1,000 ungraded employees, the
President said this "is to provide
equitable treatment" for those
workers whose compensation is
fixed by administrative action,
rather than by wage boards.
The President said that these
"ungraded" salaries are generally
comparable to those of classified
employees and customarily have
been raised when the latter were
increased.
In the Departmental supple
mental money asked by the Presi-
dent. he included $1.4 million for
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton for the operation of jet air
craft on Federal airways to obtain
data looking toward development
Of jet transport planes.
