Services Subcommittee into
the use being made Of Indian
Head Powder Factory.
The Navy has an investment
of 1884 million in facilities OF
the Aerojet General Corp. in
California which manufactures
its Polaris guided missile, it
was testified.
House probers have wanted
to know why more Of this work
couldn't be done at Indian
Head.
Witnesses told the group that
the decision to embark on the
Aerojet program was sound and
| the only practical one in view
of the time available for devel-
opment of the missile. The
subcommittee will hear Aero
jets president tomorrow. He
is former Secretary Of the Navy
Dan Kimball.
Demands a Review
Mr.. Hardy demanded a re-
view of the policy of Govern
ment- -owned, privately operated
plants.
Eventually, he said, "the per-
son or persons owning the land
will take over the buildings ano
equipment and the taxpayers
will be left with nothing"
Mr.. Gavin said that he would
like to know what results We
get from our investment"
The Navy witnesses said thai
the contracts with the manu-
facturers generally varied bui
contained an option to buy the
land. Twenty per cent of the
investment in Aerojet has beer
for basic research and the bal
ance for development, witnesses
said.
Rear Admiral w. F. Raborn
who has charge of the Polari'
project, said the Navy origi.
nally had $6 million invested il
Aerojet property.
In order to get the Polari'
program underway as fast a!
possible, another $l8 millior
was invested over a three-yeal
period, he said.
What kind of deal is tina
when you build on somebody
else's land?" demanded Repre-
sentative Gavin.
"Complicatedr' Arrangement
Assistant Secretary Fred A
Bentz admitted that the ar
rangementS were "compli'
Gated" but maintained thar
the Navy was right in its de-
ciSion.
The subcommittee is opening
an investigation into why the
armed services pour millions o.
dollars into privately -operateC

lows its own facilities to grow
up in weeds. The facility

THE rope was attached to
a telephone pole and the moose

them the fact that he was an
American" Col. Brannon told a
crowded news conference.
"The group (of Russian
civilians) then paused for a
discussion. It was at this time
that the Soviet military police
arrived and took him into Gus

Colonel Beaten
Col. Brannon said five of the
nine airmen aboard the trans
port received rough treatment
from the local population after
they bailed out of the burning
plane.
MY hands were tied behind
my back and / was beaten in
the face by fists and later
kicked in the body when placed
aboard a truck for transport

non said.
The four crewmen who land
ed with the plane and were
picked up by Soviet soldiers
were not molested, he said.
Maj. Shupe. who parachuted
from the burning plane, said he
was badly beaten up by the
peasants who captured him.
He added:
Later when they tried to
hang me on a telephone pole
shouted New York Chicago
to make them understand was
an American. While hanging
preparations were still going
on one man shouted something,
I don't know what, but it
stopped them"
Held eor 3 Hours
The five airmen who were
roughly treated by Russian
civilians said they were in the
hands of the peasants for two

handed over to military au-
thorities. Those who received

Army Historian With An 8O-VoIume Project
By MARY TANHAM
Special Writer for The Star

Many of these men had helped to make the
history they were writing about. For early in the
war teams of historical officers were trained for
duty with combat units overseas. They interviewed
soldiers from the front and interrogated prisoners
The battle narratives they wrote were spontaneous
and dramatic, and are the nucleus of the great
80-volume venture.
Contrary to popular belief, the historians have
access to all significant records Of World War II,
including those dealing with high policy.
In some cases, few ofilcial documents exist.
The bulk of precious records from the Philippine
campaign mysteriouSly disappeared during the war
en- route to the United States The story largely
reconstructed from interviews, unofficial papers,
captured reports, diaries and memoirs.
To insure complete and reliable history, COM
manding generals have also turned over their war
diaries and papers. Gen. Eisenhower opened his
personal files to Dr. Greenfield and the authors.
At OCMH today, buried behind maze Of filing
cabinets the scholars sft through these staggering
piles Of materials. Facts are never altered by
opinions, and authors enjoy unconditional freedom
of writing.
Finished manuscripts take months of research
and subjected to professional and military
review in a series of panels and seminars
Fashioned after Dr. Greenfeld's graduate
course at Johns Hopkins, the seminars usually
include important battle participants.

SEATTLE, June 4 (R.-The

which has endured attacks
from within and without for

brink Of oblivion today.

administer the coup de grace to

At that time the board un-

NIT Stanford to Jump the con-
ference and line up with Wash

Washington set the Pee up
for the kill yesterday when the
university's Board Of Regents
said, yes, Washington can quit
the Pee, II Washington can
form a new alliance with Cali
fornia, UCLA and Southern
California.
The action was taken on the
apparent assumption that
Stanford would go along with
the proposed new alignment,
which would take the back
bone from the Coast Confer
ence.
The only remaining members
Of the Pee, as Of July /, 1859,
would be Washington State,
