How 1t Began

The chain of events that led
to last weeks spectacular head
lines began last spring when the
House voted $250,000 for an in
quiry into the conduct of the
Federal regulatory agencies. A
special subcommittee was set up
to do the job and was designated
the Subcommittee on Legislative
Oversight. Representative Morgan
Moulder, a Missouri Democrat, let
it be known that he would like to
run the investigation and was
given the job of chairman.
BY August, a staff had been
assembled. with DR.. Schwartz as
chief counsel. The professor, on
leave from his New York Uni
versity post, Immediately tackled
the tasks before him with a some
what f1amboyant determination.
He was keenly disappointed
when the subcommittee denied
his request for subpoena powers.
As time went on he began to
suspect that his zeal was not
matched by that of some of his
aides che was not allowed to hire
or fire staff memberS) and some
members of the subcommittee.
These suspicious eliminated in
his public declarations that he
found he could not trust certain
members of his staff, that his
telephone conversations were not
private and that spy" on the
staff reported his movements to
some members of the subcom-
mlttee. AS a result of all this, he
said, he became convinced that
a majority of the 11-man sub
committee wanted not an hon
est" investigation of the regulator
agencies, but safe" one.
Nevertheless. DR.. Schwartz con-
tinued with his investigation. en-
PERTAINING, he said 1.-The delusion
that positive evidence of wrong
doing would persuade this sub
committee to go forward with full
hearings"
The delusion, he said, was shat
tered early last month when the
subcommittee RELOCATED to
the wastebasketS" staff memoir
andum proposing hearings into the
misconduct" OF members of the
Federal Communications Com
mission.
THE only practical way of en-
surfing that such relegation would
not be permanent was to make
this memorandum public through
the means of a free press" DR..
Schwartz said last week.
This was the course he followed.
leaking the contents of the memo
randum to The New York Times,
which printed it on January %.
Hints Of what was in it had al
ready been published by a syndi-
Gated columnist.) Publication Of
the staff paper, according to DR..
Schwartz, did force the subcOm-.
mittee to schedule preliminary
hearings on Federal Communica-
tions Commission misconduct"

Battle of the Files

That night, DR.. Schwartz took
a suitcase and two boxes of EVIL
dence to the apartment of Oregon
Senator Morse, who had asked
the Senate to start its own in
vestigation into DR.. Schwartz al
legations of misconduct in Fed
eral agencies. Senator Morse and
several of his aides stayed up all
night going through the material
and then returned it to Mr.. Harris.
The subcommittee counsel ex-
plained-to the press. not to Mr..
Harris-that he had shown the
files to Senator Morse because
he feared that if he let the rec
ords leave his possession, he would
not have the evidence TO support
his charges.
DR.. Schwartz's charges against
the subcommittee became more
bitter. He appeared before it
and accused its members of hold
ing kangaroo court" that made
the "star chamber the very model
of Justice" He also said that
majority of the members had
thwarted his plans Ito bring to
light the Vaccinations of the
White House clique in controlling
decisions of these agencies"
Among those he named as part
of the clique" were Sherman
Adams, President Eisenhower's
chief assistant; Secretary Of Com
merce Sinclair Weeks: Gerald
Morgan, White House counsel;
Col. George @. Moore, brother-in-
law of Mrs. Eisenhower, and
Thomas E. Dewey.
The subcommittee subpoenaed
DR.. Schwartz to come tell 1t
everything he knew about mis-
conduct in the agencies. in effect.
to put up or shut up" On Thurs
day he began to put up.
He swore before the subcom-
mittee that Richard A. Mack. a
member of the FEC. had accepted
$3.50 from a "flxer" hired by
the successful contestant for
lucrative Miami television chan
mel. A year ago, Mr.. Mack was
among the four-member FEC ma
jority that granted the Miami IL
cense against the Recommended
ton of an FEC examiner.
DR.. Schwartz said Mr.. Mack adj
mitted receiving the money but
claimed 1t had been "loans," some
of which had been forgiven" by
the "fixer." The ex-counsel pro-
duced for the subcommittee cam
celed checks from the television
applicants representative to Mr..
Mack.
Mr.. Mack on Friday denied the
charges. Schwartz Is a liar. He Is
lying In his teeth. He Is testifying
contrary to the information in his
possession" he said. He asked for
an early opportunity to answer
the charges.
In the meantime. Attorney Cen
eral Rogers ordered an FBI inves-
tigation into the accusations.
DR.. Schwartz viii return to the
witness chair tomorrow to con-
tinue testifying-under oath-on
charges he has aired to the press.
After he was fired. DR.. Schwartz
said that "'safe' lawyers and safe
investigators will go through the
motions OF a safe investigation.
safe hearings will be held and
eventually a safe report will be
written" However. 1t was obvious
as the week ended that the hor-
nets nest stirred UP by him would

MEMPHIS-A 15-year-old Wood.
sock Training school student, who
volunteered to substitute for her
mother on a house-cleaning job
after school, reports, she was rap
ed last week by her white em-
ployer, who threatened to kill her
if she did not keep quiet about
the incident.
Arrested and held to the state

OF consent was Julian Yancy,
white, of 3745 Overton Crossing
I'd, who entered a plea of not
guilty.
According to the victims moth
er, she had two housekeeping
jobs scheduled for the same eve-
ming, and was already working on
one job when the man came to
her home to transport her to his
house to work. Her daughter
said. I'll go in mama's place,
because it's too hard for her to
make both jobs
DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT
Her daughter, she said, worked
for the man, for whom she herself
had already worked on three oc-
casions for three evenings, and
that nothing unusual occurred to
indicate that the man was any
thing but gentleman during that
time.
Last week. she said, Yancey
came to the house to get the girl,
and had some other men in the
car with him. She said that her
son-in-law told her that the man
didn't look right, and appeared
to be intoxicated.
The girls mother said that her
daughter was kept at the mans
home much later than usual, and
that when she did not show up
after 8 p. m, when she was sup
posed to have come back at 7:30,
she went to a neighbor's home and
called Yancey.
