tended there had been no GRIM
|inal intent.
Mr.. Croland insisted that he
had not meant to do anything
wrong or unethical. He said that
lat the time he did not know that
any Of. the money he paid out
went to men who In some in
stances apparently were con-
|nected with labor or manage
|ment insurance programs FOR
|employes.
He declared that he had To
make the administrative pay
|meuts In order to get and keep
the insurance business. He ex-
planned that he did so on In
lstruction Of Jacob j. Levey, a
Newark lawyer who died last
August.
Unaware Of Move
In the complicated insurance
arrangement, Mr.. Croiand until
recently was an official Of the c
II, Simons Corp. In Newark. prin-
Icipal agent for the Continental
Assurance Co. Of Chicago. On
lcials Of the Simons company and
lof Continental testified yesterday
that until recently they were I'M
aware that Mr.. Croland had
withheld any premium payments
They said he confessed the trans
actions. They reported that the
premium payments shortage has
been fully made up.
Chairman Douglas, Democrat
lof Illinois, and Senator Al
lott, Republican of Colorado
seemed far FROM satisfied
They sharply questioned the
explanation Of Mr.. Croland
They remarked that Charles
j. Simons, president Of the
Newark firm. apparently never
supervised Mr.. Croland's ac-
tivities and even now con-
tinued to keep him as a partner
Mr.. Croland asserted that
none aof the men to whom he
made payments had brought
union welfare fund insurance
business to him.
Found No Evidence
In this connection, Frederic T.
Suss, a subcommittee ir1vestiga-
tor. testified he found no. eyi-
dence that any of the money
went back to unions or union
officials as such. He added, how
ever, that the payments could
accurately be called "payoffs" OF
"kickbacks."
When Attorney Greene OBJ
jected to the word "embezzle-
ment." he was invited by Sena-
tor Douglas to suggest some
other names for it." Senator
Allott was even more emphatic
in telling Mr.. !Croland:

BY ROBERT X. WALSH

A case involving repeatedly
missing records of a. distillery
workers union welfare fund was
on tap for Senate subcommittee
inquiry today.
Chairman Douglass Of the La
Dor Subcommittee has announced
that q belated offer to testify on
the part Of an AFL-United Auto

him OF contempt charges voted
against him by the subcommit-
tee. Angelo Inciso. who failed to
answer a subcommittee subpoena
to appear last Monday has now
wired the Senators that he was
prepared to come II assured Of
protection ITO insure failure Of
attempts upon my life" !,
Senator Douglas replied BY
telegram informing Mr.. Inciso
that he was still under citation
for contempt and assuring him
that police officers are always
present In the Capitol and the
committee rooms.
But first the subcommittee
planned to finish hearing wit
nessee this morning on q case
which yesterday produced occa-
sionally spectacular scenes.
These resulted from testimony
that william H. Croland, former

agency. withheld 1854. 900 in pre-
MUM payments on Is union To-
cal fund accounts in the Newark,
Jersey City and New York City
area. $3.50
Admits Money Gifts
Mr.. Croland admitted he gave
the money to at least seven out
siders. Some of those who re-
ceived sums ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 between 1851 and
1854 were identified by subcon-
mittee Investigators as union
officials or attorneys associated
with welfare funds of te4nster
and other union locals.
Verbal fireworks came later in
the day when Mr.. Croland's at
torney, Israel B. Greene. Of New

ap operational wing Of B-52s
atomic bombers as early as June
and to have the giant strato-
fortresses rolling OF the produc-
ton lines at the rate Of TIA
month within two years. it was
learned today.
There are SO B-52s in wing.
One squadron Of 10 planes al
ready Is In existence.
A 80 per cent speedup of pro-
duction Of the B.52 was an
.nounced last June after the Rus

: The eight-jet B-52. which can
reach speeds Of at least 800
miles an hour and has q ceiling Of
10000 feet. Is produced at Boeing
Aircraft Company's plant at
Seattle. A second source Of
Boeing production at Wichita,
Kans., has been announced and
the first model to be built there
, is scheduled to roll OF the line
this week.
After the bomber speedup was
revealed the Air Force announced
that production Of two super
sonic fighter planes also would be
speeded up. And yesterday it
said that contrary to claims by
Senator Symington, Democrat Of
Missouri, is was carrying out It's
production, speedup Of the F.

forms but are paid by the Air

What to do about this arrange
ment has been o matter Of top
level discussion ever since the
Air Force became q separate

Army and Air Force secretaries
approved q plan to transfer them
directly to the Air Force and put
them In that services uniform
However. this plan was not APP
proved by the once Of the Sec

Hoover Home
 Dedicated as National Shrine

NEWBERG, Ore, R-Herbert Hoover left here late Wednesday after seeing his boyhood home dedicated as national shrine. He headed for his favorite fishing stream, the Mckenzie River in southwestern Oregon.
 Hoover celebrated his 81st birthday at ceremonies dedicating the house where he came as an orphan to live in this quiet town TO years ago.
 He spoke bareheaded in the hot afternoon sun to crowd estimat- ed at 5000. Some of them includ- ed persons who had known him as a child
 Although he did not remember many of his former neighbors-he was IS when he left Newberg for nearby Salem-he mingled with the crowd, greeting everyone who approached him.
 At the ceremonies, he told of his early days in this area and he praised the heritage left by the builders of Newberg and the small towns over the nation.
 The former President praised the lives of his aunt and uncle, Dr. and Mrs. Henry John Min thorn, to whose home in this Quaker community he came after the death of his parents. He said the spirit of Minthorn, country doctor and religious educator, lives on in the nation.
 The Minthorn house was re- stored to it's original condition by friends and admirers of the ex- President, who organized the Her bert Hoover foundation. The Ore gon legislature invited him here for the birthday dedication.
