Senator'S Hear
How GIN Began
Diesel Output
By J. A. OLEARY

GHIOlQ Ia I4dAitltOt1S q kEtAAC0
vice president Of the General
Motors Corp, told the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly SUBJ
committee today GIN got into
the diesel engine business during
the 1880 depression because there
was not enough venture capital
available in the companies which
were trying to pioneer in that
new field Of railroad propulsion.
Mr.. Hamilton formerly was
president Of Electro Motive Co..
one Of the two independent con-
Germs General Motors bought
about 1890. The other was the
Winton Engine Co.
The witness related how. from
the end of World War / until
1880 he and others had been
struggling to develop first q gas
electric and later q diesel en-
gine suitable for the railroads.
He described the many difiicul-
ties that were encountered and
said that by 1880 he reached the
conclusion that 1t would take
IS million 70 rengineering re-
search and possibly another IS
million for tooling II the re-
search was successful
Built Boat Engine
"I doubt If there was that
much venture capital in the
whole diesel engine business at
that time" he said.
According to Mr.. Hamilton the
circurnstaces which brought him
and the owners Of the Winton
Co. together was that about 1880
several of the officers Of General
Motors were having the Winton
Co. build diesel engines for their
private boats.
Mr.. Hamilton's aid. George
Codrington, head Of the Winton
Co. at the time, told him there
was Q possibility General Motors
might be interested in buying
the Winton Co.
He said he and Mr.. Codring-
ton decided that General Mo-
tors had what they needed-re-
search Laboratories and plenty
Of capital.
The subcommittee, in the
course Of q general study Of the
size Of General Motors, is seek
ing to md out how it became
the dominant factor in the die
sci engine business in recent
years.
"A representative of General
Motors told reporters today that
the company developed an en-
tirely new diesel engine after it
bought out the Winton and Elec-
tro Motive IS years ago.
Firm Restricted
william r. Lewis. vice presi-
dent Of ALCo Products, Inc,
formerly the American Locomo-
tive Co., testified yesterday
that his company was .re-
stricted by the Governments
material ALLEGATIONS during the
war period to the manufacture Of
diesel switchers.s = while General
Motors '.was given the assign.
inent by the Government 10 turn

high production level"
Bruce Bromley, counsel for
AECO. told Senator O'Mahoney,
chairman Of the subcommittee,
81 the afternoon session yester-
day. = think we should make it
clear We have no complaint about
Hhe wartime orders
I'VE think 1t was III the public
interest TO help win the war. ." Mr..
Bromley added. because the
MC0 company had the expert
ence In building switcher en-
Aines.
Statistics presented to the sub
committee yesterday showed that
while the railroads had begun
using diesels for switching pur-
poses before World War II. ii

Bond Issue Pending
/ Still pending before SEC is an
application by Dixon Yates for
approval of a bond issue to
finance construction by Missis-
Isippi Generating Co.. a new corn
pany formed to build the West

Representative HoIifield, Dem
Iocrat, of California, an opponent
Iof Dixon Yates, said disapproval
Iof the transmission line money
Iby the subcommittee. if upheld
by the House, could influence
SEC action in that case.
"It would cast great deal of
doubt upon the justification for
| q plant of that size at the loca-
| ton and the SEC undoubtedly
would take that into considera- =
| ton in acting on the applica-
Ition," Mr.. Holifield declared.
| Representative Evins, Demo-
Icrat, of Tennessee, a supporter
Iof IVA who had spanked the
move to cut out money for the
transmission line. said the pro-
posal for a line leading from a
non-existent power plant which
may never come into being be-
cause of litigation, was fantastic

son. at the peak Of a question.

Olson weighed 1914 pounds
and Robinson 1894 at the noon
weigh-in. Olson was stripped
for the weigh-in as it had been
expected the champion might
have trouble making the 160-
pound limit.
The chief reason for this In
Iternational Boxing Club-spon-
Isored bout is that Olson lost con-
siderable prestige in his third
round knockout by Moore for the
Interchangeable championship
last June % and that Robinson
made a quick return from Q

Olson was knocked out as Q
22-year-old by Robinson in
