Republican State convention to
oppose Senator Wiley who is
seeking a fourth term.
Another of the men identified
in the statement issued a state
ment in Milwaukee last night.
He is Walter HarniSchfeger, an
industrialist, who accused Sen
ator Wiley of repeatedly using
my name as one of the indi-
IvidualS who supposedly under
wrote Mr.. Davis campaign in
the amount of $4,000"
"A United States Senator"
Mr. Harnischfeger continued
should possess greater response
bility than to make accusations
on a matter on which he has nc
evidence. 1 just want to say
that I have not agreed to under
write anyone's campaign funds.
Senator Wiley is a hacker Of
the Eisenhower administration
and a firm supporter of the
President. Mr.. Coleman is a
former State Republican Party
chairman and was floor manager
for the late Senator Robert A
Taft in 1852 when the Ohio Re-
publican made his last bid for
the Republican presidential NOM
nation.
In his second telegram to SEN
ator Wiley Mr.. Coleman de-
clared:
There is only one isSue-do
you or do you not have proof
OF the false charges which YOU
have made in the Senate where
you can say what you please
without the risk of any legal
action?"
In an earlier letter and his
first telegram Mr.. Coleman said:
OF course no such agreement
was made. He added that it
could be in violation of the
law for Mr.. Davis and myself"
Senator Wiley inserted Mr..
Coleman'S first telegram and
letter into the Congressional
Record Thursday along with the
statement in which he refused
the requests.

Giant Swoth in Woods
Shows FotoI Plane Path

FORT DIX, N. j.. July IA (F9.
The lights glowed brightly on
the scene, but they showed no
cheer-only mud and runty trees
and death in a Swampy wood
land.
Only a few hours before. As
persons had been killed here and
81 injured when a military
transport plane plunged through
the rain and moved into the wet
pines in a remote corner of this
military reservation.
From the eckage had
crawled one man-Pvt. Thomas
F. Kiley of Lawrence, Mass
who walked a mile until he
found help in the form of mill
tary policemen.
But now the dead and injured
had been removed. The rescuers
had gone. Night had fallen. And
80 armed security guards pa
trolled the scene under the light
produced by generators.
Col. John Williams, command
err of the 1611th Air Transport
Group, of which the fallen plane
was a part, was showing a dozen
newSmen the crash scene.
Here. waving in a tree, was a
bit of torn cloth.
Over there were a couple Of
crumpled life RATS.
A giant swath 300 yards long
and 80 yards wide lay across the
battred trees.
Near its beginning lay the
wings, on opposite sides.
Midway down was the major
part of the tail section.
Another 100 yards away was
the fuSelage-in two pieces, one
twisted and bent, the other rest
ing against sturdy tree.
Col. Williams pointed out that
it looked as if the plane had been
on a straight course and hadn't
tried to turn back.
At this point, ne said. the
plane should have been from 500

Fired Emp|oye
Charges Job
|Ldxity0Verseas

A dismissed civilian employee
of the Army who plans legal
action to get his job back claims
that he was fired not because he
had attitudes inimical to the
Army" as charged, but because
II wrote the truth about working
conditions overseas"
Robert S. Triplett, jr., 38, Of
2801 Quebec street NV, re-
cruited by the Army for engi-
Ineering work in Italy, was sepa-
rated from the service after he
wrote several personal" letters
to a civilian personnel officer of
the Pentagon complaining that
he had virtually nothing to do"
because most of his duties were
given to two Army captains.
At the same time he wrote an
official" letter setting forth the
same facts which was never for
warded to the Pentagon. The
personal" letters, which he de-
scribes as being "a little candid"
were sent back to the overseas
command headquarters.
1t was then, Mr.. Triplett
charges, that the Army "fabrl-
Gated" the charge that he had
attitudes inunical to the Army.
Maryland Contract LapSes
Since his separation 10 months
ago, Mr.. Triplett, most recently
mathematics instructor at
Maryland University, has not
been able to get comparable
Federal job. And his contract
with the University, which ex-
pires with the end of the sum-
mer school session, was not re-
newed, after Mr.. Triplett was
told by a member of the faculty
that he had not told the faculty
member of his Civil Service
problems overseas"
The CSC appellate board sus-
tanned the Army's action in sep
arating Mr.. Triplett from his
$11 ,000-a-year job.
Mr.. Triplett, who was sent to
Rome as chief of industrial &C.
tivitieS in the Army's procure
ment or ordnance from foreign
makers. found he had virtually
nothing to do. One of the men
given his engineering job, he
says, was an Army lawyer. When
he protested he was transferred
to Milan for an indefinite stay,
where he had "even less to do"
When he protested again, he
says. he was denied the use Of
the Department of Army griev-
ance procedure overseas.
Cites Explosives Case
Among Mr.. Triplett's griev-
anceS was that he was ordered
to bring some explosives from
Milan to Genoa so that an Army
captain who had been given his
job could take it to Paris as his
personal baggage.
1t was a violation of both the
laws of Italy and France, Mr..
Triplett says, and he refused to
do it.
The Army. moreover, lost all
Iof his personal baggage, in
GLIDING his whole collection Of
notes and records, he said.
Mr.. Triplett says he still has
the greatest admiration" for
the defense services and would
like to work for them again. He
says he is being punished for
taking his protest over being
treated like a Turnkey" to a per-
sonnet officer. He says there are
"other instances" of high-rank-
ing civilians being sent overseas
and having their job duties
taken away from them by uni
formed personnel.

Dazed Man Told
Of Wreck First

FORT DIX, N. j.. July IA (P),
"A chance encounter with a
dazed and bleeding survivor
brought the first word of the
disastrous air transport crash
yesterday in a remote storm
dashed sector of this military
reservation.
A soldier. driving along an
isolated dirt road in binding
rain. heard the muff1ed sound
of the crash above the thunder
and stopped to investigate. He
said he found the survivor wan
dering in woods.
Pfc. Rudolph A. Johnson, %,
of Norfolk. Va, said he was
taking some mail to troops in
the area, driving in a rain so
hard he could barely see, when
he heard "spluttering noise"
above the storm.
Rain Terrific
Then I heard a big noise in
the center of the woods" he
said.
He stopped and got out of the
car. 1T was a terrific rain. There
was thunder and lightning, too,
but not much wind" he said.
About 100 yards from the
road l saw a man staggering
around in circles trying to find
his way out of the woods.
His uniform was cut in small
pieces. 1t was bloody on one
side. He kept repeating plane
crash-10 minutes in air-get
me to a DOCTOR"
Mr.. johnson said he got the
injured man into the car, and
drove him to the provost mar
shalS Office three miles away.
From there. the survivor, identi-
fed as Pvt. Thomas F. Kiley of
Lawrence, Mass, was taken to a
hospital.
Police Led to Wreck
Mr.. johnson then led military
police to the scene of the wreck,
a swampy pine forest where the
doomed plane had ripped down
a long swath of tall trees.
1t lay in shattered fragments.
many of its victims still strapped
to their seats.

Aid Funds Bill
Fight Shifted
ToSenate Floor
BY J. A. O'LEARY

| Inc ADMINISTRATOR Will nave
to fight in the Senate next week
to nail down the foreign aid VIC
tory the President won IN the
Appropriations Committee yes
terday.
Except for two minor cuts, the
committee gave him the au-
thorized limit of $4,017 900. 900
in new money. 1t also continued
available more than $240 million
in unobligated balances and $87.5
million that was authorized but
not appropriated last year.
If the full amount could be
held on the Senate floor and in
conference with the House. Mr..
Eisenhower would have $4.3 bill
lion, which is about what the
administration planned to spend
in the next IL months.
Compromise Required
But even if the Senate agrees
with committee action, a COM
promise will have to be reached
with the House, which voted
$3.50 million less than is now in
the bill.
This means the President prob
ably will wind up with about 81
billion in new and old money.
The vote in the Senate COM
mittee was 1873, with two alb
sentees given the right to be re-
corded today. Five Democrats
rallied behind the Presidents
plea to put it over, while two
Republicans voted against the
bill. The vote follows:
For Q3)-Bridges, Saltonstall,
Knowland, Thye, Mundt, Mrs.
Smith, Dirksen and Potter, Re-
publicans; Robertson, Holland,
Clements, johnson and Hayden,
Democrats.
Against (8)-Russell, Chavez,
Ellender, Hill, Mcclellan, STEM
mis-, Democrats; Mccarthy and
DWorshak, Republicans.
Fight to Cut Tito Aid
Although they went along on
increasing the bill, Republican
Leaders Knowland and Bridges
led a fight to curtail aid to
YugoSlavia because of President
Tito's recent reconciliation with
Moscow.
! The committee beat a move
by Senator Knowland to halt de-
livery of planes already in the
pipeline for Marshal Tito. But
it made an indirect cut in any
future economic aid to Yugo-
slavia by earmarking $50 mil
lion for Spain out of S71.2
million lump sum for defense
support in Europe. This had the
effect of reducing the amount
available for YugoSlavia.
The foreign aid authorization
bill, which Congress has sent to
the President for signature, al
ready provides that aid to Tito
shall be cut off unless Mr.. Eisen-
hover within go days rules that
it would be in the interest of
the United States to continue it.
The most important move the
Senate committee made was in
restoring $3.50 million Of military
aid, which brought the House
total up from SIG billion to the
$22 billion ceiling in the author
ization measure. Most of this
money is used to support the
armies of allies in Korea For
Imosa, the Philippines and Eu-
rope.
/ Senator Ellender is expected
to lead a fight on the Senate
floor next week to go back to the
House figures. But the fact that
Democratic Leaders johnson Of
Texas and Clements of Kentucky
threw their weight to the Presi-
dents side may influence enough
Democratic votes to sustain the
committee bill.
The only items on which the
committee trimmed the author
lied limits were for the U. N.
refugee fund, a 100000 cut to
$1.8 million, and in the cost of
administering foreign aid, a Sill
million cut to $33 million.
