He said that between the first

the total output of goods and

But, DR.. Burns emphasized; Fed

DR.. Arthur F. Burns, chairman

DR.. Burns gave his views on

High Court 10 Hear
BrambIeft Appeal
In 'Kickback' Case
Pleas in Doctor Druft
Action and Complaints o
Comboy Actors Refused
By Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court announced
today it will review a Justice
Department appeal from a lower
court order here setting aside
the congressional payroll "kick-
back" conviction of Representa-
tive Ernest K. Bramblett, Re-
publican, of California.
Judge Walter M. Bastian.
then in the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia,
temporarily set aside last April
the conviction so that the case
could go directly to the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Bramblett was found guilty
by a jury last year on seven
counts charging he made false
statements to the Government.
These charges declared he falsi-
fled his Office payroll and re-
ceived about $4,000 in "kick-
backs" from woman listed as an
employe. Judge Bastian set
aside the verdict because he be-
lieved there was a reasonable
doubt that the false statement
statute under which Mr.. Bram-
blett was indicted could legally
apply in this case.
In another order the court re-
fused to review a case challeng-
ing constitutionality of the doc
tor draft law. The appeal was
brought by DR.. William r. Ber-
telson of Neponset, H., 80
year-old physician who served in
World War II in the Navy and
now is married and has three
children. DR.. Bertelsen was
drafted into the Army in May,
1858. He contended that this
Disseminated against him. He
also contended that the doctor
draft law was unconstitutional
because. it constituted discrimi-
nation against one group of citi-
zenS.
The court also refused to re-
view separate complaints brought
by Roy Rogers and Gene Autrey,
cowboy movie stars, against the
commercial telecasting of old
pictures in which they appeared.
They contended that the Repub-
lie Pictures Corp. and the Holly
wood Television Service, Inc.
had no right to use or distribute
such films without permission.
Federal courts in California
ruled in favor of Republic Pic
ltures and the television.

Dispute on U. 5. Aid
To Korea Believed
Nearing Showdown
Hull Informs Rhee
ROKs Must Meet
Minimum Conditions
BY the Assoeioted Press

SEOUL, Oct. GA showdown
neared today on the continuing
dispute between the United
States and South Korea on the
$700 million United States eco
nomic and military aid program
for this war-ravaged country.
Gen. John E. Hull, United
States Far East commander, was
reported ready to fly to Seoul to
lay a package aid bill before
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee on a take it or leave
it" basis.
Sources here said Gen. Hull
has given Mr.. Rhee a memoran-
dunn listing several demands that
must be met before the aid pro-
gram for the 1954-5 fiscal year
can start moving. The demands
include:
/. The Koreans must establish
a realistic exchange rate between
the hwan and the dollar.
2. They must supply the United
States with information on dol
lar holdings in the Korean
treasury.
3. They must reach a settle
ment on areas of procurement
obviously in relation to trade
with Japan.
4. They must make positive
moves to combat imitation.
Exchange Controversy.
The present legal exchange
rate between the hwan and the
dollar is 1901. The black market
rate is 600 to 800-1. The United
States wants at least 254-1. The
South Koreans want it to remain
at 180.
Because of the deadlock on the
exchange rate, South Korea
stopped selling hwan to the
United States forces October 1.
The 9th Army says it is unable
to pay some 100000 Korean en-
ployes because of the cutoff.
Involved in the dispute is
the delivery of gasoline to the
South Koreans. ROK officials
say the Americans are shutting
off the supplies, causing a threat
of economic chaos"
An American diplomatic Of
fetal said the Korean conten-
ton is sheer nonsense" and
declared they bungled in esti-
mating their needs. Authorize :.
tions for new gasoline and oil
shipments, he said, are beilIg
prOcessed ih Washington.
Under orders from Gen. Hull,
the 9th Army offered to sell pc
troleum supplies to a semi-gov-
ernmental cooperation for re-
sale to the public.
"The sale to the official Ko-
rea agency will be made initi-
ally at the hwan-dollar rate OF
BIOL" a spokesman for Gen,
Hull said.
Prime Minister Pyun Yung Tai
declined to tell a news confer
ence what the ROKS will dc
about Gen. Hull's offer. Other
ROK officials were equally reti-
cent.

Ex-FHA Official
Rebuffed Queries,
Probe Jury Says

A special grand jury investi-
eating Government housing scam
dals today asked that Clyde l..
Powell. ousted assistant commits
sioner of the Federal Housing
Administration. be punished for
contempt.
The jury reported that Mr..
Powell had refused to answer
questions when he appeared be-
fore it.
The jurors made their pre-
sentiment before District Judge
F. Dickinson Let's. Judge Let's
set the issue for arguments at
10 o'clock Wednesday.
Refused Probe Quiz.
Today's action was a sequel to
events of last Monday. Then the
jury went into court with Mr.
Powell and complained that he
had refused to answer questions
as to whether he had taken
from his Office when he was
ousted last April his official
diaries or desk calendars.
Judge Let's at that time di-
rected Mr.. Powell to answer the
questions.
That afternoon. Mr.. Powell
was recalled before the grand
jury. The jury's presentment to-
day disclosed that again he re-
fused to answer questions con-
corning his desk calendars for
the years 1916 through 1854.
Cites Self determination.
His reply was, according to
the document filed with the
court, II respectfully refuse to
answer. My refusal is based
upon my constitutional protec-
tion against being compelled to
be a witness against myself"
Time in which to prepare a
defense against this action was
askeds by Mr.. Powell's attorney,
Daniel B. Maher. Max H. Gold
schein, Government attorney
assigned to the investigation,
offered no objection.
The penalty for conviction of
contempt of court is at discre-
ton OF the judge. In some cases
in the past a from now -on"
sentence has been given, the
imprisonment to terminate when
the prisoner purges himself of
the contempt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 18.-
Here in the very heart of the
farm belt of America. three
States - Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska - are electing three
Senators and 81 Representatives.
In all of them lower farm prices
and the Eisenhower Benson flex-
ible price supports are lively is
sues and threaten to reduce the
Republican total vote.
Nebraska and Kansas are tra-
ditionally Republican territory.
Missouri, on the other hand, is
traditionally Democratic, tn e
home, indeed, of Harry S. Tru-
man. the last Democratic PreSi-
dent. Fortunately for the Repub-
licans, the senatorial contests
this year lie in Kansas and Ne
braska--two in the latter. And
unless there should be wide
Democratic swing, the Republic,
can candidates will win all three
Senate seats. This will not mean
gains for the G. o. P. in the up
per house but merely holding
the line. Indeed, should the Re-
publicans lose even one of these
Senate seats. the party control
of the Senate would almost GER
| tainly pass to the Democrats in
! the 84th Congress.
Republican Favored.
In Kansas, Senator Schoeppel,
Republican, is running for re-
election against former Senator
! McGill, Democrat. Mr.. McGill

braska Republicans are present.
ing two new senatorial candi-
dates, one to run for the, seat
made vacant by the death of
| the late Senator Griswold. and
the other for the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Butler.
Both are members of the House.
Representative Carl T. Curtis.
a veteran of 16 years srevice in
the House, is one. The other
is a freshman member, Repre-
sentative Roman L. Hruska. All
signs point to their election, al
though some Democratic lead
ers suggest there may be a sur
prise in store for the Republi-
cans.
This is the "offest" of off years
| in Missouri. No President, no
Senator, no Governor is to be
elected. The contest revolves
around the elections of IL mem
bers of the House. the State
Legislature and one Statewide
Office holder. There consequently
is little interest manifested here
and the general feeling is the
vote will be light.
Truman "FeeIs" Victory.
In the present Congress, the
Democrats have seven House
seats and the Republicans four.
No less an authority than Mr..
Truman himself feels the Demo-
Gratis will carry all but one of
these four Republican-held dis
tricts. Mr.. Truman, however.
does not make election predic-
tions, nor is this to be considered
a Truman prediction. Admitted
by Republicans as well by Demo-
Gratis, however, is the fact that

and Cole in the 9Th district, are
