Probers Recall Dixon
For New WenzeII Quiz

Imony of Mr.. Dixon and Mr.
Wenzell. On motion of Senator
LANCER, Republican of North
Dakota, the subcommittee referred
all the testimony to the Justice
Department.
Mr., Dixon's attorney, Daniel
James, declared that I'VE have
no objection to sending the
testimony anywhere-we have
no fear of that"
Mr.. James said Mr.. Dixon's
testimony had been consistent
throughout.
Denies Budget Role
Mr.. Dodge told the subcom-
mittee Mr.. Wenzell had no part
in Budges Bureau policy deci-
sions that led to the Dixon-Yates
contract.
MIR. Dixon said he did rely
on advice Mr.. Wenzell got for
him on two occasions, "but he
was not important to me and
my company in relation TO this
situation"
It never occurred to him, he
said, that there might be a con-
tiict of interest in Mr.. WenZelps
relations with the Budget Bu-
reau and First Boston, but the
thought did go through his mind
that someone might claim there
was"
Mr.. Dodge said Mr.. Wenzell
left the Budget Bureau on April
10. 1854, and the proposal that
formed the basis of Dixon Yates
contract negotiation was sub
mitted after that.
Protests differences
Meanwhile, SEC Chairman j.
Sinclair Armstrong strongly pro-
tested as entirely unwarranted
and unfair" any differences that
he was coached by the White
House in what testimony to give
to the subcommittee investigat-
ing the Dixon-Yates contract.
In a letter to Senator Ke-
fauver, Mr.. Armstrong said the
Senator's questions clearly infer
that" Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams and others
coached him in what to testify.
Nobody coached me at any
time with respect to my testi-
mony, and I want the record
clearly to show this" Mr..
Armstrong wrote.

to Federal employees who retire

prevail is considered certain.
Enactment of the bill In the
final hours of this years session
of Congress climaxed an uphill
battle by Federal retirees to OBJ
tain q pension raise. While the
amount of the increase proved
to be considerably less than what
retired employe leaders felt was
needed to insure adequate living
standards for retired workers and
their. survivors, it was regarded
as better than nothing at all. In
fact, until q week or two ago
prospects for any kind of pen
sion increase seemed dim.

Edgar H. Dixon. focal point OF
charges and denials that his
testimony warrants Justice De-
partment scrutiny for possible
perjury, was recalled today by
Senators investigating the Dixon
Yates power contract.
At the heart Of the dispute Is
a contention by Senator Ke-
fauver, Democrat, of Tennessee,
that Adolphe H. Wenzell served
dual, conflicting role as a
Budget Bureau consultant on
Dixon-Yates and as vice presi-
dent of First Boston Corp,
which later became one Of the
Dixon Yates financial agents.
Former Budget Director Joseph
M. Dodge testified yesterday that
he once suggested Mr.. WenZell
get out of the Budget Bureau If
there was a possibility that First
Boston might take part in f.
nancing the project which ul-
timately became Dixon-Yates.
Mr.. Dodge was budget direc-
tor at the start Of the Dixon
Yates negotiations. He now Is
a special assistant to President
Eisenhower and has been told
by the President to give the
entire Dixon-Yates story as he
knows it.
Contract With Acc
The Dixon-Yates contract was
with the Atomic Energy Com
mission. 1t called for erection
of a power plant at West
Memphis, Ark, to feed electricity
into The Tennessee Valley Au-
thority system to relieve the
drain of Acc power require
ments from IVA.
Mr.. Eisenhower ordered the
contract cancelled after the. city
of Memphis, a iva customer,
decided to build its own power
plant.
Mr.. Dixon and Eugene A,
Yates had formed a partnership
to build the West Memphis
plant. Mr. Yates has not been
called for questioning.
