John Flynn, Author,
Says Conant Backed
|Morgenthau Plan
By ]. A. o'Leory

The nomination of DR.. James
B. Conant. outgoing president of
Harvard University. to be High
Commissioner of Germany, was
opposed before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee today
by John T. Flynn, newspaper
man and author.
Chairman Wiley told reporters
that in the closed session, Mr..
Flynn based his opposition on
the following grounds:
That in 1914 DR.. Conant sup
ported the So-called Morgenthau
plan for holding postwar Ger
many to an agricultural econ
omy.
That in 1943. the Harvard
president wrote an article which
Mr.. Flynn described as plea for
a radical party in the United
States.
That in April, 1852, DR.. Conant
delivered a speech to the Amer
lean Association of School Ad-
ministrators which the witness
said described private schools as
a divisive force in this country.
This same argument was raised
in an editorial in the Catholic
Standard of January %.
Won't Discuss Character. /
Chairman Wiley quoted Mr..
Flynn as saying he knows Moth
ing against DR.. Conant's char.
acter as scientist and educator.
or as citizen whose loyalty and
competence is uhchallenged. The
witness contended. however, that
DR.. Conant is not the man for
this assignment in Germany.
Only one other witness is watt
ing to be heard against the APP
pointment. She is Mrs. Beatrice
Brown, chairman of the Wom-
ems Committee for Clean Gov
eminent.
Dawson to Testify.
One witness is scheduled to be
heard in support of DR.. Conant.
He is Joseph M. Dawson, execu-
tive director of the Baptist Joint
Committee on Public Affairs.
In answer to Mr.. Flynn's argu.
ments that the Conant appoint
ment would not be popular in
Germany, Chairman Wiley said
he read statements from several
German newspapers, showing it
would be well received.
DR.. Conant was present today.
and will be invited to testify after
the other witnesses have been
heard.

Doctor Transferred
As Private in Army
BY the Associated Press

FORT DEVENS, Mass, Feb. 2.
"A Connecticut doctor who Is
in the Army as private rather
than as an officer because he re-
fused to list the organizations
to which he belonged left the
Fort Devens induction center to-
day for the medical replacement
center at Camp Pickett. Va.
He is Pvt. Charles A. Nugent,
Yale medical school graduate
and staff physician at the New
Haven Hospital. He said he app
piled for a commission as a doc
tor and "signed dozens of loyalty
statements that I am not now
and never have been a Com
munist."
He added, however, that he
baked at a statement requiring
him to list the organizations with
which he had been associated
as too broad for any man to be
expected to sign"
Although the signed statement
is required of all commissioned
officers, DR.. Nugent said he re-
fused under the 5th Amendment
of the Constitution under which
a person cannot be compelled to
testify against himself.

$2.54 a share in 1851. Operat-
ing revenues of the company,
however, had increased more
than 81 million over the preced-
ing year. This gain was absorbed
by the higher cost of natural
gas, Mr.. Boothby stated in pre-
liminary report. He also pointed
out that the third increase in
the pipeline cost of natural gas
will become effective in March,
clearly indicating" he warned.
the need for higher retail gas

last November.

ing of Washington Gas Light Co.

Boothby's preliminary report on

nues of $27.416,834 for 1852
against $23,476,094 the previous
year; general taxes Of $1,719, 242
as against $1,508, 678; and provi-
sion for Federal income taxes

to Panmunjom by Mr.. Dean.
It was understood, however,
that the allied representatives
agreed to try to seek to arrange
for the political conference to
begin approximately a month
after agreement on the arrange
mentS is reached at Panmun-
JON. If arrangements can be
agreed upon in a week of talks
at ~Panmunjom, this would put
the political conference start at
about December /.
Wants Early Conference.
Secretary of State Dulles ex-
planned at a news conference
yesterday that the October %
date for the political conference
was only a recommendation in
the armistice agreement and
that it was possible to hold the
conference at a later date with
out violating the armistice terms.
The United States still wants the
conference to begin as early as
practicable but considers it would
take about a month to make de-
tailed arrangements at whatever
site was agreed upon.
The allies are standing by an
earlier proposal that the con-
ference meet at Honolulu, San
Francisco. or Geneva. But Of
dcials said this position was f1ex-
IDLE, and Mr. Dean would con-
slider almost any site outside of

Tavern at Silver Hill
Held Up by Two Bandits

Two holdup men got away
with between $50 and SIS from a
nearby Maryland tavern early
today after ordering the bar
tender to lie on the floor behind
the bar.
Prince Georges County police
said the money was taken from
a cash register at Uncle Toms
Liquor Store on Branch avenue,
Silver Hill, about 1870 am.
The two men, both colored,
entered the place while the bar
tender, IgnatiuS Bellaven, was
alone. One of them asked to
buy a fifth of whisky, while the
other reached for a bag of po-
tato chips. The latter man then
wheeled around brandishing a
blue-steel, .32-caliber revolver
and demanded the money.

Eisenhower Defends
Benson Strongly in
Answer 10 Critics
Asserts 1t Is His Job
To Decide on Advisers,
At News Conference
By jones (. Roper

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son, who has been under fire in
farm areas, was defended
strongly today by President
Eisenhower. The President de-
clared he did not intend to be
critical of the cabinet officer be-
cause he can't produce a mi
raculouS one-line solution for
farm evils.
The Presidents statement
came at a news conference. A
reporter had asked Gen. Eisen-
hover to comment on the de-
mand of Senator Young, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota, that
Secretary Benson resign.
Rather caustically. Gen. Eli
senhower replied that he be-
lieved that it is the President of
the United States who decides
who his advisers and assistants
are to be.
DeulcdIeu W WeltdTc'
He said that no one is more
dedicated to the public welfare
than is Secretary Benson.
Gen. Eisenhower said the peo-
pie he talked to on his just
completed swing into five States
were less concerned than were
some of the peopel who called at
the White House.
He said that conditions bred
by the drought were very serious.
He said this is recognized every
where. But he declined to give
a categorical yes or no on
whether the farmers were happy
or sad.
He said that the crop and
cattle growers are taking things
in stride. Farmers are very
happy that practical farmers
have a part in the work of the
presidential commission which
is studying farm policy for the
administration, Gen. Eisenhower
said.
The President expressed graft
f1cation with his meeting in
Kansas City last week with
drought State Governors and
their agreement to cooperate
with the Federal Government in
working their way out of the
difficulty. He pointed out. too,
that a special session of the Mis-
souri, Legislature had just been
called by Gov. Phil M. Donnelly.
Lists Help Given.
Gen. Eisenhower licked off a
list of some of the things the
Government had done to aid the
drought country and said to list
everything would make an i'm
pressive display.
Asked if he attached political
significance to a Democratic
victory in WiSconsin's Ninth
Congressional District, the Presi-
cent said he would let reporters
reach their own conclusions.
Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont, reported, meanwhile,
that the administration may ask
Congress to extend for two years
the present farm laws that sup
port the price of six basic COM
modities at 80 per cent of parity.
Senator Flanders spoke out
after a 30-minute White House
