this statement in response to a
question from q Minnesota
newspaper about the possible
Importance Of the Strauss votes
OF Senators who may be seek
ing party nomination In 1860.
"One OF the principal argu-
ments implied in the choice of
a member of Congress for the
Presidency or Vice Presidency
is that as an experienced menu
Der Of the Legislative branch
he has a clear concept of the
relationship of Congress and
the Executive branch, and of
the balance of power among the
branches OF Government" the
Senator continued.
After summarizing the two
reasons for his own opposition,
Senator Mccarthy added:
"A vote in support of Adj
miral Strauss could, in my
opinion, be fairly interpreted
as approval of unwarranted ex-
tension Of executive secrecy
and the independence OF the
Executive branch in determine
ton of policy and the admin
istration of laws passed by
Congress-"

required to dlvest himself Of
his railroad holdings II he
should be appointed.
Certainly, II he had a per-
sonal conflict. ne could not
take the job" Mr.. Allen replied.
Mr.. Allen said he had dis
cussed the study with Mr.. Erpi
last February but no action
had been taken because Of the
delay in confirming Mr.. Strauss
as Secretary.
He said the study had been
going on in the department
under his direction with regu-
lar departmental employees and
Others brought in from the
academic world.
Attacked by MCGEE
Meanwhile. Senator MCGEE,
Democrat Of Wyoming, who
voted against Mr.. Strauss In
the Commerce Committee, said
today that the nominee at
tempted to deceive that group
by "a falsehood."
Senator MCGEE, in a Senate
floor speech. said Mr.. Strauss
was asked on May ii If he had
tried to get data on DR.. David
Inglis. an Atomic Energy Gem
mission employe who testi>.
against the nomination.
Senator MCGEE said Mr..
Strauss replied Il have never
asked for anything on Mr.. Inglis
in my life.'
Senator MCGEE said a letter
from John A. McCone, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Strauss as Acc
chairman, reported Strauss
personally asked for informa-
ton on DR.. Inglis' and that
later one of the aides to Strauss
in the Commerce Department
asked Acc about DR.. Inglis'
security clearance and was told
it was adequate.
In another statement, Sem
ator Eugene Mccarthy warned
Senatorial aspirants for Presi-
dent or Vice President to think
carefully before voting on the
confirmation of Mr.. Strauss.
The Minnesota Democrat said
he felt the vote on the Strauss
nomination could be a test of
how Senators view the balance
of power between the Execu-
tive and Legislative branches of
Government.
He explained he was making
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-28

very interesting and very
strange" material regarding
MFR. Erpf and his Arm.
He said the material linked
Mr.. Erpf with transactions In
uranium in Colorado. He also
said he understood there was
a link between Mr.. Erpf's firm
and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., with
which Mr.. Strauss was once
connected.
Senator Anderson was asked
III the Erpf matter would have
any effect on the confirmation
OF Mr.. Strauss. II would hate
to answer that. That question
is already settled negatively
However, Senator Anderson
said the matter might influence
the votes of some Senator's who
have been undecided.
Senator Smathers' comment
that the matter should be
looked into very carefully was
made as he left the committee
hearing during which he Ques-
toned Mr.. Allen on whether
there would be a conflict OF
interest In having MI. Erpi
direct the study.
He read from published news
paper reports indicating that
Mr.. Erpf's firm holds more
than $40 million of railroad
securities.
Objectivity Questioned
Senator Smathers asked il
Mr.. Allen considered that any
one having a great interest in
the welfare of the railroad in
dustry would be qualified to
direct an objective study in
volving the trucking industry
and other forms of transporta-
ton.
Senator Smathers inquired
whether Mr.. Erpf would be

The bankruptcy case inyoly-
ing Phillips Television and APP

The Phillips company operated

Mr.. Bresnahan allowed Attor-
lney Leon M, Shinberg. who
acted for the creditors trustee
in the case, a fee Of 500 ,085,

Mr.. Shinberg noted an OBJ
lection to the fee he was al
lowed.
Mr.. Bresnahan. in determine
ing the smaller amount, said
the law cautions that fees
should not be excessive or ex-
horbitant and should be paid
only for professional services.
Creditors had objected to Mr..
Shinberg's inclusion Of hours
spent in collecting the firms
assets. They said this should
have been done by the trustee
himself. The trustee for the
creditors was Isadore Brill, an
attorney. Mr.. Shinberg had

than 300 pages showing ais es-

the case.
Creditors said that in some
instances his estimate showed
charges as high as SIS per
hour. Mr.. Bresnahan also re-
duced the fee requested by the
Phillip firms attorneys, Samuel
Greenbaum and David Horn
stein, from $28.800 to $4,000.
The president Of the Phillip

Mr.. Strauss, sharply criticized
the reported move to name
Armand @. Erpf. a partner in
the New York firm of Carl M
Loeb, Rhoades 81 Co.. to direct
the transportation study.
The Erpf choice also was
questioned by Chairman Mag
nuson of the Senate Commerce
Committee and Senator Sma-
theirs, Democrat of Florida, a
member of the committee.
Allen Is Quizzed
TT is something that should
be looked into very carefully"
Senator Smathers said.
Senators Magnuson and
Smathers brought up the Erpf
matter during a committee
hearing on the nomination Of
John J. Allen, jr., as Under
secretary of Commerce for
transportation.
Mr.. Allen was asked If Mr..
Erpf, who has large holdings

mo. I think not" Mr.. Allen
replied. But he was unable
to give assurance that Mr.. Erpf
would not be appointed. Earlier.
another Commerce official said
Mr.. Erpf still was the leading
prospect to head the study.
Linked to Uranium Sale
Senator Anderson likened the
appointment to the Dixon
Yates deal in which he said
MIR. Strauss had brought in
Adolphe Wenzell of the First
Boston Corp, one of the A.
nancing firms, to handle the
negotiations.
The New Mexico Senator said
