Navy Reports
300 Possible
Conflict Cases
But Gutes Sees
No Violations
OF Criminal Law
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Stafi Writer

Deputy Defense Secretary
Thomas S. Gates, jr., disclosed
to a House Armed Services
subcommittee today that the
Navy has found about 800
cases Of possible conflicts of
Interest involving retired mill
tary officers employed by COM
Ipanies doing business with the
Pentagon.
He reported, however, that
none of the approximately
3,400 replies received thus far
to a Navy QUESTIONABLE sent to
about 4,600 retired officers in
dicates any criminal law vio-
lations.
Mr.. Gates, former Navy Sec
retary. emphasized that the
Navy is following up the 300
doubtful replies but cannot say
now whether any of them in
volve serious breaches Of ethics
or poor judgment.
Waiting Findings
Chairman Hebert, Democrat
of Louisiana, told reporters he
expects the Navy to give his
investigating group the results
of its separate examination.
AS the subcommittee opened
hearings on the problem OF
private employment of retired
military and Federal civilian
personnel holding jobs par
ticularly with defense con-
tractors, Mr.. Hebert said more
than 80 per cent of 5000 of
the subcommittee own queS-
tionnaire have been returned.
He reported that the COM
mittee has received no out
right refusal to provide in
formation. He added that
some QUESTIONABLE recipients
might refuse or fail to return
the requested information.
But" he declared, I'VE are
determined to get the answers
either in replies to those ques-
tionnaires or in replies from
the witness chair"
Big Names Included
While declining to name wit
neSseS in advance, Mr.. Hebert
dropped a broad hint that Gen
Douglas Macarthur might be
among them. He also indicated
that Admiral Arthur w. Rad
ford, former Joint Chiefs of
Staff chairman, and Vice Ad-
miral Hyman G. Rickover, the
Nays atomic energy pioneer,
would be included.
He quoted testimony in which
Admiral Rickover recently told
another House subcommittee
that pressure seemed to have
been put on him occasionally
by "higher-ups" in the Defense
Department. Mr.. Hebert quot
ed Admiral Rickover as saying
that he resisted apparent pres
sure by some retired military or
naval officers in past years but
that in some instances they
appealed to his superiorS in the
Pentagon.
Mr.. Gates said he knew of nc
such pressure on Admiral Rick
over. He commented that the
Admiral may have mistakenly
thought that his superiorS triec
to pressure him while they were
merely diSagreeing with his
views.
Conflict Question
Mr.. Hebert asked Mr.. Gates
whether he thought any con.
f1ict of interest might exist
when a retired military mar
who never previously worked
for a private company sud-
denly became the chairman Of
its board of directors.
Mr.. Gates conceded that the
president or chairman of q
company might, in effect, be it,

between a contractor and De.

Arms Aid Cut

Republicans Seek

Star stan Writer

Senate Republicans, who
have spent most of their time
this year trying to prevent
increases in the Presidents
budget, found themselves fight
ing today to head off Demo
Gratis who want to economic
on military foreign aid.
Senator Ellender, Democrat
of Louisiana, was prepared to
offer three amendments to the
mutual security authorization
bill, which would:
Cut $3.50 million from the
$1.6 billion of military aid; cut
$685. million from the 1885 mil
lion of defense support, and
trim $50 million from the
Presidents $3.50 million con-
tingent fund.
Line Holding Seen
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said he believes the
Senate will hold the line
against these deep slashes
But there is a possibility some
smaller reductions may be
made before the voting is over
tonight or tomorrow.
Two prominent Democrats
Senators Mansfield of Montana
and Sparkman of Alabama
said they thought the bill
could stand some reduction.
The three Ellender amend
ments would chop a total Of

Senators Sparkman anc

heat your home!

On March 10, President Eisenhower by executive
order limited the amount of residual fuel oil that may
be imported into the United States as of April l. This
restriction imposed on the advice of both the
Cabinet Committee on Crude Oil Imports and the
Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization after months
of serious study and consideration 1t is in the best
interests of economy and national defense How
ever, many people in and out of the government-not
familiar with residual oil and its uses-have misunder-
stood the reasons for this order. This message is
designed to clarity any confusion on this point.
What is residual fuel oil7
When crude petroleum is refined, gasoline and the
lighter oils are drawn off, leaving a thick, viscous
residue. Reneries in the Caribbean area have been
shipping these "leavings to our East Coast for use
primarily by electric utilities and heavy industrial
plants. These imports have been increasing yearly
7ome-owners cannot use this oil
Residual oil is extremely thick and gummy that it
will not flow at ordinary temperatures 1t must be pre-
heated to high temperatures before it be burned
For this reason only certain plants and institutions
that can afford special pre-heang equipment can use
this fuel Residual oil has been used for heating
homes. Any limitation residual oil imports has no
bearing whatever on home heating whether you use
coal, gas or oil!

normal times. You must understand that the coal
industry has not asked for complete elimination of
residual fuel oil imports. Coal has always welcomed
and met fair competition But have fought for the
control Of erceSsue imports. This will not deprive
energy consumers of an adequate supply of fuel at
reasonable prices but it wiH tend to maintain our
domestic economy on a stable basis.
In 1858 alone, the residual oil imported into this
country displaced millions of tons of coal However,
its effects more far-reaching than just the coal
displacement Thousands of miners had to be laid off
Thousands of railroad workers lost their Jobs because
of cutbacks due to diminished coal-hauIage revenue
Many other workers employed in plants that furnish
goods to coa-producing and railroad communities are
idle because of the lack Of purchasing power In add
ton, local. state and Federal tax revenues suffered
as result of this unemployment and loss of business

A sound defense measure

If we depend on foreign sources of industrial fuel
oil, we place our national security in jeopardy In
World War II, when submarines almost eliminated
oil tanker traffic the coal industry was able to increase
production to meet the tremendous military and
industrial demand for energy But increased residual
oil imports in recent years have contributed to de-
creased coal production closed mines, dispersed
manpower, neglected equipment. If this debilitation
we're to continue, future emergency with our foreign
fuel supply cut off could find the coal industry unable
to meet the demands that would be made on it. The
new import restriction helps assure our strength in
such a case Er
