had opened up new fields of
regulation beyond the intent
OF Congress. or had become
subservient to the industries
they were supposed to regu-
late. 1t was a fertile field Of
investigation and the sub
committee was we'll financed.
Subcommittee Chairman
Morgan Moulder selected a
young New York University
law professor, Bernard
Schwartz, as counsel Of his
committee. Mr.. Schwartz is
young. brilliant and jealous
OF public righteousness. He
promptly dug into reports of
pecadillos among FEC mem
bers. prepared a memoran-
dunn on the evidence he pro-
duced, and presented it to
the committee.
1t dealt with substantive
matters, such as the fact that
the FEC apparently judges
cases on criteria which may
vary from case to case. But
among the charges were
some involving what Schwartz
deemed personal misconduct.
such as the acceptance of
favors from the communica-
tons industry and, in the
case of Mr.. Doerfer. of charg-
ing the Government for ex-
penses which he had already
received from the industry.
Some members Of the COM
mittee hit the ceiling. There
was q high-powered effort to
lock up the report and force
the subcommittee on another
track. Inevitably the report
was slipped to the press and
printed in detail. From then
on the hearing became GER
tain. congressman who had
been accused of an attempted
whitewash were forced to
give in. The officials who had
been accused we're forced to
demand a hearing.

reau of the need for a higher
payment so 1t could be reflect
ed In the budget which goes to
Congress next January. Mean
while, he said, Congress should
also be urged this year to es-
tablish a more realistic pay
ment formula.
Sees TwO-Star Rank Justified
On the matter of the Engi-
neer Commissioners term, Gen.
PrentisS noted that a three-year
term would be the same as that
OF the two Civilian Commits
sioners. He said one problem in
establishing a fiat term Of serv-
Ice is that Engineer Commits
sionerS often have been trans
ferred In order to promote them
to two-star rank. He said this
could be overcome only II the
Army recognizes that the Engi-
neer Commissioner Job justifies
q two-star rank.
In an address, Representa-
tive Hyde. Republican Of
Maryland. explained procedural

vice chairman.
Mr.. Hyde said he was not
certain whether the study
could be completed by the
January. 1859. deadline set by
Congress or that funds Coma
gress has authorized will be
adequate. If not. he said, he
will urge a time extension and,
possibly, look to revenue

Turmoil Expected to Prevent Inquiry
Into Operations on High Level

Behind the dais in the
hearing room of the House
Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce there is a
mural. the main feature of
which is a flight of angels
beneath the golden words
"On Earth Peace" 1t was
the only peaceful item as the
acrimonious hearing finally
began into charges of mis-
conduct on the part of a ma
jority of the commissioners
of the Federal Communica-
tons Commission.
The case of FEC Chair
man John c. Doerfer was
first on the agenda. The
Subcommittee on Legislative
Oversight was beginning as
inexorably as fate an exam
ination of what Speaker Sam
Rayburn has contemptuously
called Fly specked" scandal.
Minor scandals in high
places may not be to the
Speakers taste. His real OBJ
lection is that such matters
are likely to obscure more
serious underlying charges.
But they are to Washington's
taste and the hearing room
was packed with reporters,
FEC officials, representatives
OF the extensive broadcast
lobby. and the plain curious.
They we're rewarded, as Mr..
Doerfer's blood was Spilling
almost visibly over the for
est-green carpet.
The oddly named subcom-
mittee was established with
the Speakers special bless
ing to look into charges that
the powerful agencies which
Congress set up to regulate
transportation, communica-
tions. utilities and the like.
were too much under the
thumb of the executive
branch of the Government,

Ex-Presidents Comments on Eisenhower
And Macarthur Held Not Full Story

The facts were stated by Gen.
Macarthur in February, 1856,
when he issued q statement
replying to similar charges in
the Truman Memoirs" The
general said:
This belated claim Of In
subordination is made by him
not as q public ofiicial but as
a private citizen. In making
1t, he conveniently ignores the
fact that the members Of the
Joint Chiefs Of Stan. my mil
itary superiors in the conduct
of the Korean War, specifi-
cally, categorically and unan-
imously denied under oath
before the Joint Senatorial
Committee investigating the
reasons for my relief that I
had ever been guilty Of insub-
ordination, and the Joint
committee members them
selves in the report made at
the conclusion Of the hearings
were in complete agreement
upon this point"
Mr.. Truman, in his tele.
vision speech last Sunday,
also said that Gen. Mac
Arthur had sent IAN article"
to the magazine U. s. News
g. World Report and did
not send a copy to the White
House or to the President and
that he found q copy in the
press room of the White
House and suppressed It,"
The fact is that it wasn't
an article" for this particu-
lar magazine. but it was the
text Of q message sent at the
request Of the commander
in chief Of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars for delivery at
its meeting in Chicago in
August. 1850. The message
had been distributed In adj
vance. as is customary, to the
press in this country. The
magazine in question OBJ
tanned on a Friday from the
press relations office Of the
Chicago convention an "auto-
matte release" for publica-
ton Of the Macarthur mes
sage in the issue coming out
on the following Monday.
When Mr.. Truman saw a
copy Of the message on Sat-
urday morning, it is true it
was discussed at q meeting
Of high ofhcials, and, on in
structionS Of the President,
an order was sent to Gen.
Macarthur directing him to
withdraw the document from
publication. The general
promptly obeyed the order

DORIS FLEEsoN
Probing Regulatory Agencies

TemperS were hot when the
hearing began. Mr.. Doerfer,
under understandable emo.
ton. kept demanding to make
q statement to answer what
he called "innuendoes" in the
press. He had to be gavelec
down repeatedly. Republican
members kept breaking in
with Interruptions, to Chair
man Moulder's annoyance.
Representative John Ben
nett Of Michigan was in
sistent until he had read into
the record a part of
Schwartz m m ora n dun
which was not in evidence
which indicated that if
charges against Chairman
Doerfer proved true, he
would be guilty of a felony.
To the interest Of the press,
Mr.. Bennett therefore made
the Schwartz statement libel
proof.
The hearings are now COM
mitted along the present lines
until their doubtless bitter
conclusion. The FEC will be
a violently shaken agency.
The subcommittee and its
stan may continue in a
turmoil which would prevent
the high-level investigation
which almost all observers
believe is needed into the
operations Of the quasi
judicial agencies.
Not mentioned yet, and
perhaps never, will be the
basic trouble of these vastly
influential bodies. President
Truman complained often
that he was unable TO attract
men Of the highest ability
and character 10 Government
positions. The erosion Of
these qualities which began
then has continued without
let up during the Eisenhower
years. Today it is rare for an
appointment 70 any of the
regulatory commissions to 20
to q person Of both deep ex-
perience In the field and a
truly national standing.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Former President Truman
didn't give the American
people the full story of the
episodes concerning Gen.
Eisenhower and Gen. Mac
Arthur which he told to q
television audience on Sum
day. Neither did he give ac-
curately the facts in what he
did say-due either to faulty
memory or to carelessness.
When Mr.. Truman deals
with the regulations of other
public mel. he admittedly
fancies himself always In the
political arena where any
thing goes.
Thus. for instance, Mr.,
Truman said that in 1945 he
discouraged Gen. Eisenhower
from seeking the presidential
nomination and argued that
"a man at the top with q
military reputation" shouldn't
do it because he could only
have that reputation smeared
If he went into politics"
In the book by Gen. Eisen-
hover, published in 1948, he
relates that at Potsdam in
= 1945 Mr.. Truman told him:
General, there is nothing
that you may want that I
won't try to help you get.
That definitely and specif-
ically includes the presidency
In 1919"
Mr.. Truman in 1945, of
course. wanted to be a can
didate to succeed himself in
the l948 election. Everything
he says about the alleged
position Of Gen. Eisenhower
occurred before the 1913
campaign.
Mr.. Truman stated that he
has in his possession a copy
Of a letter which the general
wrote to a New Hampshire
newspaperman. giving rea-
sons why a military man
should not be President. Mr..
Truman gave the impression
that this letter has never
been made public. Actually,
its contents were published
when the letter was written
In January. 1913. long before
Mr.. Eisenhower decided in
January. 1852, to accept the
presidential nomination il it
were offered him.
Another striking error in
Sundays television talk by
Mr.. Truman was his claim
that Gen. Macarthur was
fired because he was "insub-
ordinate" and because "he
disobeyed orders directly"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-04

security, were apportioned
equally among all recipients.
This resulted in allies such
as Turkey. Pakistan and
Korea being made to feel
that they were poor relatives.
They received sermons when
they suggested that they
needed more economic help
because of the heavy expendi-
lures for their armed forces,
amounting to some so per
cent of their annual budget.
The second category in
cludes such countries as Ger
many, Denmark, Norway, the
Lowlands and Italy. Most Of
them can be described as de-
Serving-despite the reluct-
ance of our small NATO allies,
Denmark and Norway, to &C
cept our guided missiles. But
they no longer need American
tax dollars except for minor
items. They have not only
recovered from the wounds
Of the last war but are at
a peak of prosperity exceed
ing that in the days before
World War II.
1t is in the third category
Of nations which need Amer
lean assistance and are re-
ceiving it but do not deserve
it that a pitched battle be-
tween Congress and the adj
ministration is expected. The
nations in this group are
YugoSlavia, Poland, India
and IndoneSia. The case Of
Yugoslavia is most illustra-
tive. Marshal Tito has re-
ceived from this country in
the last 10 years. well over
$l.3 billion in military and
economic aid. 1t may be more
than this estimate, because
the actual figure is a secret
kept even from Congress.
Throughout the time he
received our aid Tito has
not shown himself in single
instance to be friendly to
America and what this coun-
try stands for in the present
gigantic struggle with Com
munist imperialism. We
found him in the Kremlin's

WE'RE FRANK TO ADMIT we've done our share
of complaining about the unfair treatment
Americas railroads have been getting in recent
years. We have even been labeled "cry-baby"
at times, by some of our severest critics And
perhaps unwittingly we have been, too, in our
enthusiasm for self-preservation.
We believe we've had, and still have, good
reason to complain. So, we will continue to
speak out against unhealthy, unfair conditions
in the transport industry as long as they exist.
But we don't intend to be "cry-baby" about it.
What we want is more freight to haul. And
