MayDivide Michigan's S
1OAt-Larqe Delegates
BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT. April 5.-Repub-
lican leaders were reported agreed
today on a slate of 10 at-large
delegates to the national conven-
ton about evenly split among
supporters Of Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower.
The at-large slate, assembled
under the leadership Of National
Committeeman Arthur Summer
field. was ready to go before the
State convention which also will
ratify choices of 36 district dele
gates.
The district delegates were
being chosen in caucuses and
hackers of Gen. Eisenhower and
Senator Taft both claimed they
would come out on top in the
46-vote total.
Thomas E. Coleman Of Madison.
Wis, Midwestern manager for
Senator Taft. said his group was
satisfied that the at-large slate
consisted of six persons publicly
neutral in the presidential nomi-
mating race. two for Senator Taft
and two for Gen. Eisenhower. AS
for the district delegates, Mr..
Coleman said: I'VE are doing all
right"
Vandenherr Agrees
Arthur Vandenberg, jr., an OFF,
c1al OF a national Eisenhower
movements agreed with Mr.. Cole
mans analysis of the at-large
slate, but disagreed with the Taft
mans view Of how the district
races will come out.
I'VE are going to have a ma
jority, I feel confident" MIR. Van.
denberg said.
Besides Mr.. Summerfield. Sena.
tor Ferguson and former Gov.
Harry Kelly were among those
reported placed on the leadership's
at-large slate. Mr.. Summerfield
and others have been seeking to
keep the Michigan delegation pub
llcly uncommitted to any candi-
date in order to be in a strong
trading position at the July Chi
cago nominating convention.
There remained the possibility.
that some enthusiastic Eisenhower
supporters would try to kick over
the traces to obtain a convention
Endorsement for the general. How
ever. Senator Taft's leaders said
they are confident they can pre-
vent any such blitz.
Mr.. Summerfield pleaded for an
uncommitted group which might
provide the balance of power"
in the selection of a Republican
nominee.
"Discounting the claims from
rival campaign headquarters,
believe that the national conven-
ton still is wide open," Mr.. Sum-
merf1eld said in prepared ad-
dress.
Convention Ratification.
The convention will ratify the
choice of 36 district delegates and
pick an at-large slate of 10 for a
46-vote total. Mr.. Summerfield
and other party organization lead
ers believe this vote may be tell
ing in the choice of the next pres
idential nominee.
Although supporters of Senator
Taft seemed inclined to go along
with Mr.. Summerfield's proposal.
some Eisenhower hackers were re-
ported planning to kick over the
traces.

Three Men Indicted,
Another Gets ) Years
In Grain Storage Case,
By james E. Roper

A Government drive against ir-
regularities in the farm shortage
program hit top speed today.
Grand juries indicted three
warehouse operators on criminal
Icharges and a Federal Court sem
Itenced another operator to three
years Imprisonment.
This was the stiffest penalty
handed out so far in the current
agricultural scandals.
The legal action come on these
fronts:
/. A Federal Court in Amarillo,
Tex, sentenced Herman Dawson.
sociatlly prominent grain dealer.
to three years in prison and fined
him $4,000 for selling 100000
worth of grain he was storing for
the Agriculture Department. He
had put the grain in makeshift
buildings at an old air base and
ordnance plant near Amarillo.
He claimed he had to sell the
grain quickly because it was de-
teriorating.
Two Firms Indicted.
2. A grand jury at Sioux Falls
S. OAK, indicted the Sheldon F.
Reese Elevator and the Dewerd
Milling Co. on charges of fraudu-
lently, selling Government flax
seed and then replacing it when
prices fell. The firms allegedly
made a profit Of $4,819 but
violated their storage contract
with the Government.
3. A grand jury at Denver, Colo,
indicted o. w. Robinson of the
Robinson Produce Co. on charges
Of illegally disposing of $33,102
worth of beans he had stored for
the Government. The Agricul-
ture Department simultaneously
began a civil suit to recover the
loss.
The Agriculture Department
now has started legal action in
20 cases involving shortages of
about STA million. Since Janu-
ary, when Congress began
prodding Agriculture and the
Justice Department to Jail viola
tors, the prosecutions have
steadily stiffened. ,..-..,-'.,
Decrease in Storage.
The irregularities developed in
the Agriculture Departments pro-
gram to store farm products and
thus help keep prices up. The
department either buys the prod
ucts or makes loans against COM
modities that are put in storage.
The department reported yes
terday that it has $1.8 billion OF
commodities in storage. This rep
resented a drop Of about $23 mil
lion from a month earlier.
The largest reduction was In
wheat, which the Department has
been selling as the result of firmel
prices. A number of the grain
storage shortages were discovered
only after the Department called
for delivery of the grain.

will read them or not" he told
reporters.
Mr.. McGranery's announcement
that the FBI would handle any fu-
ture cleanup job recalled that such
a move was widely predicted in
January. Later. however. the job
OF heading an independent inves-
tigation unit was offered to Fed
eral Judge Thomas F. Murphy of
New York. When he refused, Mr..
Morris ended up in the job last
February /.
Mr.. McGranery said any one he
suspected of criminal wrong
doing would be indicted and
tried in the courts"
I'VE will use due process and
not conduct any witch hunts"
DeSpiseS Hyp0crites.
Asked about the possibility of an
investigation of the Justice De-
partment itself, Mr.. McGranery
said he wanted to know what the
FBI thinks about that and what
their reports show"
It any wrongdoers are found in
the department, he said, I'll act
against them faster than anybody
else, because I despise hypocrites. "
Obviously referring to Mr.. Tru-
mans charges that he has been
let down by some appointees, Mr..
McGranery added:
Il think the President is a great
man and those fellows who let
him down with their hypocrisy
and crookedness ought to be
prosecuted. I wouldn't hesitate
a moment to do it, no matter who
they might be-"
"Whitewash" Charged.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Velde said Mr.
Nc Granery's handling of the
Amerasia case was lone of the
most shocking whitewashes of all
time"
The six persons arrested in the
case were charged with conSpir-
ing to spy. Eventually, two of the
six were fined-not on the spy
conspiracy charges-but on lesser
counts. Accusations against the
remaining four were dropped.
Since then the Amerasia case
has been brought up repeatedly
in Capitol Hill Investigations. A
special committee, headed by Rep
resentative Hobbs, Democrat. of
Alabama, was set up to study it
in 1916. But it reported that
"few. if any. of the identifiable
classified documents involved had
any real Importance in our ma
tional defense or our war effort. "

IFBI Takes Over Last Remains
of Morris Corruption Inquiry

The FBI has taken over-in five
one-by- -two-foot packing cases
the last remains of Newbold Nor
ris' corruption inquiry. ~
In the cases are the Morris
organizations relatively meager
volume of legal documents, official
records and correspondence. They
were packed and carted away by
two FBI agents yesterday. as the
investigative headquarters was
being converted into two more
floors of empty Government space.
While Mr.. Morris was making
his departure from the Washing
ton scene, the only cleanup ac-
Itivity at his operations base in
the old Washington Post building
was of the housecleaning variety.
Most of his former employees spent
the day emptying file cabinets,
destroying worthless papers and
collecting personal belongings.
Is Top Aides Quit Jobs.
OF his SIS former employees, an
official said, 13--his top aides
left the project with Mr.. Morris.
Another 10, on loan from other
agencies, were instructed to report
to their old jobs Monday.
The remaining %, mostly wom-
en- clerical workers, still don't
know where they stand. When
they took their jobs with the
cleanup campaign. they were put
on the Justice Department pay
roll, just as was Mr.. Morris. But
when he was fired, they weren't.
Miss Anne Jeffreys, 10, of 5000
Calvert street NV, said the group
was instructed to report back to
their empty desks Monday, in the
hope that some word would be
in from the Justice Department
by then.
Wanted to Be In On Probe.
Like Miss Jeffreys, most of the
'23 already had been Government
employees when they signed up be-
cause they wanted to be in on
the probe of wrong doing in Gov
ernment.
II thought it would be exciting,
and it certainly was" Miss jeff
|reys said. "The only thing I'm
sorry about is the way it ended"
Miss Alice L. Kupferman of New
York. one Of the three lawyers on
Mr.. Morris staff. said everyone
was shocked by that"
"The amazing thing to me-" she
added" was the way the entire
group got along so well. And we
were making progress"
Miss Kupferman said she helped
prepare plans to convene a grand
Jury next week, which would have
had powers to subpoena witnesses
and documents. But the probe
never would have built up full
steam. she said, until the group
began to get back the searching
financial questionnairs Mr.. Nor
ris wanted filled out by former
Attorney General McGrath and
sos other top Justice Department
Officials.
It was Mr.. McGrath's challenge
lof the questionnaires' propriety
that blasted into the open the
feud that swept both him and Mr..
Morris out of Office.
In preparation for handling the
Iquestionnaires, however. the Nor
ris group had set up a never-used
security area" where it was
lplanned that a staff of about so

American 10 Inspect
Iranian Oil Refinery
And Aid in Dispute
BY the Assoeioted Press

TEHERAN. Iran. Aug. 26.-
American Gilman w. Alton Jones
left for the South Iran oil center
of Abadan today to inspect the
long idle, giant refinery once
owned by the British.
Mr.. Jones, who is president Of
the Cities Service Co. of New York,
was accompanied by four asso-
ciates who arrived from the
United States on Saturday. An
Iranian government spokesman
had described Mr.. Jones' as
|sistants as high caliber experts"
Announcing the party's arrival
in Iran. the Iranian spokesman
said yesterday Mr.. Jones had come
Ito discover what assistance can
be made to put the Iranian ma
tionalized oil industry into oper-
alton" and ito advise Iranians
how to continue working and adj
ministering the oil industry"
To Mediate Dispute. .a
In New York, Cities Service Of
flcials said Mr.. Jones had gone to
Iran only to mediate in the long
dispute between Iran and the
British who formerly operated the
Icountry's oil industry.
Their company, these -ofiicials
said, had mo ak to grind any,
where" and Mr.. Jones wouldn't
touch this matter on a selfish
basis"
The State Department In WASH
Iington said the oil executive went
to Iran in a private capacity. not
as a Government representative.
and so far as they knew the Brit
ish had not asked him to take q
hand.
Dispute Break Seen
Mr.. Jones' visit stirred wide
spread speculation that q break
is near in the oil dispute which
fshut down Trans most lucrative
export industry soon after Par
lament voted naturalization Of
the British properties Is months
ago.
The loss Of oil royalties has
plunged Trans government into
an ever-worsening financial and
economic crisis and raised the
grave threat of a Communist take
over. Ailing Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh, who led the success
full fight for oil naturalization,
repeatedly has turned over nearly
all other national problems to
deputies in order to concentrate
on the oil question.
Informed sources said in Lon
don yesterday that Britain soon
might make new proposals for
negotiations with Iran. The Brit
ish repeatedly were being spurred
10y official American pressure as
well as by Mr.. Jones' visit.
