for the premature leak.
Two of them. Representatives
Jonas, Republican of North Car

Michigan. aired their complaints
on the House floor yesterday.
The other two, Representatives
Hoffman, Republican of Michi-

of Ohio, told newsmen they con-
Cured.
Mr.. Jonas said the staff report
presented "a one-sided view of
the controversy" over admins
tration policies.
He said witnesses during the
subcommittee hearings were
solicited" and "briefed" by staff
members and "only adverse wit
nesses" were permitted to testify.
Mr.. Dawson said the news
leak of the document had vio-
lated the faith and confidence
under which the House group
had agreed not to allow pre-
mature release. He said also it
was an incomplete document"
A report containing substanti-
ally similar charges against In
terror Department officials was
approved by the committee and
made public two months ago.

White, Coe Tried to Stop
Gold to Chino, Diary Says

A reported move by Harry
White and V. Frank Coe to stop
delivery in 1945 of 5000 million
in gold to the Chinese National
lists was blocked by Former Sec
Rotary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI.
This disclosure was made
yesterday by the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee in max
ing public previously unpublished
portions of Mr.. Morgenthau's
diary. 1t came out in conjunc-
ton with testimony pertaining
to charges Of espionage concern
ing the two former Morgenthau
aides.
The subcommittee has de-
Scribed White, now dead, as a
Communist agent. Mr.. Coe has
denied that he ever spied, but
has refused to say whether he
ever was a Communist.
The subcommittee made pub
lie protest which Mr.. Morgen-
thau voiced in a 1945 staff meet
ing that this country was not
giving the Chinese Nationalist
anything that they really need
to help them in the way of
fighting"
This was a stenographic re-
cording of the staff meeting
contained in his voluminous
dialy-at which Mr.. Morgen-
thau vetoed reported move by

Law Violation
Laid Airline;
Probe Asked
BY the Associated Press

Alexander C. Hardy. senior
vice president of National Air
lines. yesterday accused North
American Airlines, a non
scheduled carrier. of fragrant
and continuing" violation of the
Civil Aeronautics Law.
Mr.. Hardy asked the House
Judiciary Subcommittee on Mo-
Inopoly to investigate his accusa-
tons because, he said. lit dis
tresses me that this committee
is not demanding that North
Americans illegal activity be
stopped now and that law and
order be preserved"
His complaint was that North
American operates on a sched-
uled basis even though it is a
non-scheduled line.
Charges Denied
A spokesman for North Amer
Iican, which now operates under
the name TranSamerican, said:
"Mr. Hardy's statement is a
baseless and irresponsible TRADE
designed TO divert attention from
the 18-year-old closed sky pol
icy of the CAB. The fact re-
mains that no new carrier has
ever been permitted to compete
with the major airlines. We will
ask the Celler committee for an
opportunity to set the record
straight"
Mr.. Hardy asked the commit
tee to obtain list of North
Americans attorneys and lobby
lists.
Such a list" he said, would
show North American Attorneys
Hardy McClay and William c.
Burt to have been top-level law
IyerS at the CAB. Also, the list
would show Senator Joseph P.
O'Mahoney, Democrat of Wy
Ioming. as a North American lob
byiSt, lawyer and director.
1.-THE list will show the name
of Laurence Henderson. formerly
staff director of the United
States Senate Small Business
Committee Henderson is now
North Americans executive in
charge of congressional affairs.
Also, he has acquired a new as
Sistant with excellent connec-
tons. a MI. Bill Sturtevant :"
Others Mentioned
/ Mr.. Hardy also mentioned
Maurice Rosenblatt, who he said
is campaign director of the Ma
tional Committee for an Effec-
tive Congress. and Gardner
Jackson, described by Mr.. Hardy
as IAN effective lobbyist and a
top office holder in the Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action"
Among others he mentioned
were Murray Chotiner, one time
campaign manager for Vice
President Nixon and RAYMOND
BowleS. whom Mr.. Hardy de-
scribed as having once been as
ISOLATED with the Republican
National Committee.

Chesterfield Rise

NEW YORK, May % (P).-
Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. has
called off a price boost on Ches-
terfleld cigarettes.
The announcement yesterday
gave no reason for the cancel
lation of a wholesale price in
crease of As cents per thousand
cigarettes. The increase, an
nounced last Thursday, would
have figured out to about a pen
ny a pack at retail for both
regular and king sized Ches-
terfields.
Other major cigarette pro-
ducers sat tight over the week
end and failed to go along with
the rise. Industry sources said
the refusal of competitors to
raise their prices might have
prompted Liggett & Myers
change of mind.

manufacturing and selling costs
as making a price boost neces-
sary.
