Trevor Gardner, whose con-
firmation to be Assistant Secre-
tary of the Air Force was blocked
in the Senate last week, will con-
tinue at his old task as a special
assistant for research and devel-
opment.
Air Secretary Talbot said to-
day that ''Mr. Gardner is con-
tinuing in his present assign
mert." There was no further
amplification. Mr.. Gardner has
been Mr.. Talbott's special as
Sistant for about q year.
His confirmation as Assistant
Secretary for research and de-
velopment, q newly created post,
appears to have heen sWamped
in the backwash Of the Open
heimer case.
Senator Hickenlooper. Republic
can, of Iowa, said that he blocked
the confirmation but would not
discuss his reasons.
Friend Of Scientist.
Mr.. Gardner, who was closely
associated in scientific work with
DR.. j. Robert Oppenheimer first
at the California Institute of
Technology and then while
working on development of the
atomic bomb at Los Alamos dur
ing World War II. is said by as
sociates to make no effort to
hide his admiration and friend
shin for the scientist.
Thomas A. Morgan, former
chairman Of the Sperry Corp.
and a member of the special
Atomic Energy Commission Sc
curity board that ruled against
DR.. Oppenheimer by a 2-to-1
vote. reported Mr.. Gardner APP
preached him before the hear
ings opened last April IL. He
evidently regarded this an act
of intercession In DR.. Open
heimer's behalf.
Mr.. Morgan was said to have
notified Roger Robb. the attor-
ney who served as. counsel to
the panel, who in turn reported
the incident to the Justice De-
partment. The Defense Depart
ment has not said whether it
received a copy of the report.
Attended Luncheon.
However, Mr.. Gardeners name
came up in the published tran
script Of the panels hearings.
DR.. Lee A. DuBridge, president
of California Tech, testified that
Mr.. Gardner attended Cosmos
Club luncheon before the hear
ings at which q number of
friends Of DR.. Oppenheimer dis
cussed raising funds for his de-
Tense.
Neither the Pentagon nor the
White House questioned his fit
ness to serve as an Assistant
Secretary where he would handle
much of the same work he ham
dies now but would have more
authority to sign contracts. etc.

that Mr.. Gardner would be given

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A New

ate probers today a group OF
Brooklyn cooperative apart
ments returned 81 million to
builders who had invested $l5,-
600.
Alexander p. Hirsch, VINO also

"windfall' profits were derived
only after he and others made
very substantial loans He said
the capital risk in the $40 million
project was more than So mil

can. OF Connecticut is conduct
ing the hearing at the Hotel
Astor.
$22 Million Mortgage.
William Simon, committee
counsel. brought out through
questioning of Mr.. Hirsch and
Abraham Traub of Brooklyn. an
associate of Mr.. Hirsch,s, that
although the Farragut Gardens
Apartments cost slightly more
than $18 million they were able
to get an FILA mortgage of al
most $22 million.
Mr.. Simon said stockholders
IN the corporation which built
the apartment, Newsstand Realty
Corp. divided $3,158, 900. He said
this was the difference between
the FILA mortgage and the &C
tual cost Of construction.
With other profits in connec-
ton with the project, stockhold-
ers divided more than 81 million
in excess of the cost. Mr.. Hirsch
said.
Senator AssaiIs Witness.
MIR. Hirsch said his role was
simply that of investor and that
he did not know why the con-
struction costs were so much
lower than the amount of the
FILA mortgage or the estimated
cost of construction. He said he
had been In only one Of the
apartments once.
I'D like to say this, Mr..
Hirsch." Senator Bush declared,
II think you've come very badly
prepared. ! don't think you have
been cooperating very well. You
have failed to answer questions.
-. This committee is very much
displeased with how you have
failed to cooperate. This is a
very important matter"
Mr.. Hirsch, a thin. ay-haired
man Of about so, replied: We've
tried to cooperate by giving
counsel everything he asked for"
Senator Bush concluded the
exchange by declaring: You
have failed to cooperate by show
ing an ignorance about this mat
ter. / don't know if you are
ignorant.

that the capital stock invest

When the. time came for the

their seats for livery important
business" Every one did, ex-

DR.. Fry. who was presiding
then announce 6nat a member
of the German delegation wanted
to postpone the election pending
a reconsideration by the Nom
mating Committee of a layman
for one of the presidencies.
Immediately the huge hall be-
came silent.
Then DR.. Niemoeller, famed
Lutheran pastor who defied Hit
Ter and spent several years in q

form and asked why a layman
had not been nominated.
Honor Refused by Layman.
DR.. Fry interposed at this
point and explained that the
committee had approached q
prominent layman and asked
him to accept the nomination
The layman, whom the presiding
officer did not name. refused the
honor.
DR.. Niemoeller then made his
motion that the nominations be
postponed for "a hours so thai

After the motion was APP

make it clear that what we have

to reconsider the whole slate. ;
