Two major projects at the Army's Port of Whittier are causing nationwide attention as contractors prepare to submit bids to the Alaska District Corps of Engineers.

Widow Regoins $427, 900,
But SwindIe Reports Pour In

An 86-year-old Washington
widows story of how she lost
and recovered 427,O0O in a con-
fidence scheme was followed up
today by number of other COM
plants from persons possibly
swindled by the same oper-
atorS.
Capt. Joseph w. Shimon of
the general assignment squad
was told by one man that he lost
$4,000 in the same kind of
Kentucky oil stock scheme in
which the widow was involved.
Capt. Shimon said several other
persons also had stories to tell.
The police confidence game
expert told the story of the
widows plight as warning to
others who might get involved
in the same racket.
Only the fact that the woman
finally told her attorney of the
strange transactions saved her
from heavy losses, Capt. Shimon
said.
1t was then that the conf
dence ring, apparently fearing
the law was closing in, returned
a number of deeds and money
taken from the widow.
Capt. Shimon said a man
boarding at the woman's home
first obtained $4,000 on the
pretext of putting it into Ken
lucky oil leases. Later the man
left and another arrived, repre-
senting himself as a friend of
the first.
He found the widow was wor-
ried about her $4,000 and
promised to assume that obliga-
ton and arrange a deal that
would assure her a steady in
come. The outcome was a fan
tastic series of deed transfers,
including a 100000 District
property. her home property. an
orange grove in Florida, some
lots at Nags Head, N. c., and a
$21.00 first trust.
While the new boarder sup
posedly was negotiating for Ken
lucky oil leases, woman agent
of the oil company arrived to ap-

participation, evidencing the
right to such fractional shares.
The bank will appoint trustees
to issue certificates for fractional
shares ranging from 1s to 70 in
elusive. Shareholders may dis
pose of these certificates on the
open market or buy enough to
round out their holdings to whole
shares in the merged bank.
Certificates aggregating one or
more whole shares must be pre-
sented to the trustees at the con-
solidated banks main Office, 1903
Pennsylvania avenue NV, for
exchange for whole Riggs shares
not later than 2 pm. November
Is. Riggs shares will be ex-
changed for stock in the merged
institution on a share for share
basis.
The Riggs and w. L. g. T.
officials first discussed merger
plans early in May.
Unknown to them, Equity
Corp. was interested in buying
w. L. & T. to merge it with
Union Trust Co., already con-
trolled by Equity.
Surprise Comes.
The surprise came when Equity
offered $3.50 a share for w. L.
& T. shares and found that
Riggs already had made a pro-
posal. Three days later. Riggs
and w. L. & T. terms were an
nounced and they amounted
to about $52.83 a share for
w. l.. g. T.
In the middle of a competi-
ton it had not anticipated,
Equity declined to raise it's bid
and finally returned all stock
rendered on the expiration of it's
offer on September 8. A few
days lated it disposed of a block
of w. L. & T. stock it had ac-
quired prior to it's offer. This
was snapped up by interests
supporting the merger with
Riggs.

Senator Jenner said. the Sen
ate knew his committee was
making a "diligent" study OF
rules changes to govern con-
gressional Investigations and
that he didn't think the Senate
would act on the proposals OF
the special committee. He said
the Rules Committee would sub
nit it's report before the next
Congress meets.
In addition to the count in
volving alleged contempt of the
Elections subcommittee itself,
the special committee recon-
mended that Senator Mccarthy
be publicly and officially rebuked
for denouncing members of the
subcommittee in language sun

"inexcusable" and "reprehensi-
BILE" abuse of Brig. Gen. Ralph
w. Zwicker at a hearing in New
York last winter.
Mccarthy Broadcast Set.
The Senate is to reconvene
November 8-the week after the
congressional elections-to take
up the censure charge.
Senator McCarthy's friends
in the Senate have indicated
they intend to put up a deter
mined fight. Senator Jenner
predicted that many words will
be spoken" -
Senator Mccarthy, who has
been in seclusion since the COM
mittee report was issued Mon
day, is scheduled to discuss it in
an NBC television show C'Meet
the PreSSD on sunday.
Although Senator Jenner de-
clined to say how he would vote
on censuring Senator Mccarthy.
he earlier had issued a statement
describing attacks on the Wiscon-
sin Senator as part of the Com
munist strategy.
Senator Morse, Oregon Inde-
pendent, predicted in San Fran
cisco last night that the Senate
would vote to censure Senator
Mccarthy by an Overwhelming
majority"
He also said the censure vote
probably would result in Senator
Mccarthy being deprived of his
Senate committee chairtnanships
even should the Republicans win
a congressional majority in the
November elections.

Jenner Plans TO Quiz
Watkins on IMAM
Censure HEARING
BY the Assoeiafed Press

signs OF q gaCner1ng SGOrm
over the proposed censure of
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin became clearer to-
day as Chairman Jenner, Re-
publican, of Indiana, of the Sen
ate Rules Committee disclosed
he intends to call Senator Wat
kins. Republican, of Utah for
questioning.
Among other things, Senator
Jenner said in an interview, he
wants to find out why Senator
Watkins conducted a one-man
hearing" as chairman of the
special committee of three Re-
publicans and three Democrats
who unanimously recommended
Senate censure of Senator Nc
Carthy for certain aspects of his
conduct.
Watkins Has No Comment.
This was reference to
closed hearing at which Senator
Watkins questioned the Senate
parliamentarian, Charles L. Wat
kins. about the validity of a SEN
ate Elections subcommittee
which issued a report critical of
Senator Mccarthy on January
2. 1858.
Senator Watkins sent word to
neWsmen that he had no COM
ment on Senator Jenners state
ment.
One of the counts on which the
special committee recommended
Senator Mccarthy be censured
was that he was "contemptuous,
contumacious and denunciatory"
toward the elections subcommit-
tee in its 1951-1952 Investigations
of his financial affairs.
Questioned in Office.
In one of his main lines of de-
fense against the censure
charges, Senator Mccarthy chal-
lenged the legal status of the
elections subcommittee. It was
agreed to put the question up to
the Senate parliamentarian.
Since Parliamentarian Wat
kins-no relative of Senator
Watkins-had been i'll, the COM
mittee and Senator McCarthy's
lawyer, Edward Bennett Will
liams. agreed to submit set of
questions. However. the parlia-
mentarian later was questioned
in Senator Watkins Office.
Mr.. Williams subsequently
protested that the questions
asked by Senator Watkins went
beyond the scope of those agreed
on in advance. Mr.. Williams
asked to cross-examine the par
Humanitarian and his request
was granted.
Senator Jenner has been con-
Quoting hearings on proposed
''codes of fair play" for Senate
investigating committees. He
said he wants to question Sena-
tor Watkins as part of that
study.
In it's report recommending
that Senator Mccarthy be CEN
sured, the special committee
urged four changes in Senate
rules. The group suggested they
take effect next January with
the start of the new Congress.
One-Man Hearing Proviso.
Under one of the proposed
rules changes. no witness would
be required to testify before fewer
than two members of a COM
mittee unless the committee. by
majority vote, had authorized a
one-man hearing.
Other recommendations would
bar the questioning of witnesses
