Shoe On Other Foot For Morris
. .
. InQuiz About Oil Tankers
* BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washingten Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) --Newbold Morris In
his first Washington public appearance accomplish
ed the unusual feat of leaping from his own fires of
investigation into a Senate frying pan. The particu
lar skillet on which President Truman’s six-foot
New York Republican investigator of corruption in
government now sizzles is North Carolinian Sena
ator Clyde R. Hoey's committee probe of huge
protits om the resale and chartering of U, S. sur-~
plus ships %0 Chinese trading companies. . ... .. ..
Mr. Morris cane before the Hoey committee with
& note from his wife, to which he constantly refer
red. B said, “Keep your shirt on.” But there was
some gquestion at the end whether he did.
“There is nothing worse than a lawyer on the
.witness stand,” said Mr. Morris. He proved that,
all right, Under questioning by the senators and
their chief counsel, Francis Flanagan, Mr. Morris
got all tangled up in his own answers.
First he said a newspaper interview was abso~-
lutely right in quoting him as having said he never
got a single dollar out of the tanker deal.
Then under questioning by Senator Karl Mundt
of South Dakota, .Mr. Morris admitted that he
shared — perhaps to the extent of s3o,ooo—in the
$158,000 fees which his law firm had received from
United States Tanker Corporation over four years.
AGUES WITH INQUISITORS
“You said you didn’'t make a dime out of the
deal,” Senator Mundt charged. “It wasn't a dime—
it was $30,000.”
Morris was then challenged by Senator Joe Mc=
Carthy of Wisconsin: “You're sending out question
naires to government officials, asking them about
their income. Will you be satisfied with answer like
that?”
IMr. Morris ducked it. “They’ll have two weeks to
prepare their answers,” he said. “You want an
an-wer in 10 minutes.” "
He was asked if he considered his answer forth=-
rig ht.
“I'mr not known as an unforthright man,” he
countered. He proved that to the committee mem=
bers by breaking in on their questions, arguing with
them, giving long circumlocutions for answers.
Finally Senator Mundt told him, “You go ahead
end give your answer, then I'll ask you the ques
tion later.”
Throughout his first morning's testimony, Morris
scemed to be trying to put over the idea that the
only reasonshe was of interest to the committee was
because he had been named to head up President
Trunran's investigation into government corrup
tion.
“You started out to investigate the Casey tanker
deal,” he complained. His reference was to ex-Con
gressman Joe Casey of Massachusetts who had
cleaned up $450,000 by re-selling ships to United
Tanker. *Now they've become the Morris tankers,”
he said.
Morris was president of China International
Foundation, a philanthropic corporation supposed
to receive all the profits from United Tanker.
United Tanker chartered the ships to China Trad
ing Corporation. It was a Delaware corporation
which in turn chartered the ships to China Petro
leum, a Nationalist Chinese government corpora
tion.
MUNDT TERMS IT “INTERNATIONAL PIRACY”
1t was under this daisy chain of holding-company
operation that the tankers had carried petroleum
products to Red China. Senator Mundt called it “in
ternational piracy.” \
Committee records indicated 26 cargoes were
shipped to Communist China after war broke out in
Korea. Morris insisted he knew only about four. He
suggested recalling his partner, Mr. Wasson.
Commrittee Counsel Flanagan assured Mr. Mor
ris that his name had been cn the list of important
witnesses to be called in this case, ever since last
August. So he wasn't being persecuted just because
he had another important clean-up job in Washing«
ton.
Close relationship between China Trading Com«
pany of Hong Kong and other China Trading out
fits all over the world is shown by Hoey commit
tee records. The whole operation indicates possible
Chinese Communist control at the bottom, or else
an unsuual willingness on the part of Chinese Nat
ionalists to do business with Red China.
In this trade the American Associates and law=-
vers were either innocent victims, naive dupes or
willing partners with full knowledge of what went
on. The committee investigation hasn’t shown which
it was, yet. But that may come out in its final re
port,
The sentiment of nationalism is usually good, but
this same sentiment can also find expression in an
unbridled frenzy, which is one the less formidable
to deal with because it is so often a cloak for do
mestic failure, . . . This is conspicuously true of the
Middie ¥ast—Anthony Eden, British Foreign Sec
retary.
Congress Must Use Great Care
In Pa?ring Foreign Aid Program
One of the sure things in this unsure world is
that President Truman will not get the $7,900,000,-
000 he asks for foreign aid. Congress has cut the
President’s foreign aid requests every year, and it
is a foregone conclusion the same response will fol=-
low this time.
Indeed, even if Mr. Truman had fared better than
he has on this issue in the past, there are reasons
why this year his chances of getting the full bill
allowed would be pretty slim.
Obviously in an election year Congress will be
reluctant to spend any more money than it has to.
An economy showing is always good campaign fod
der. But since the pressures against really severe
cuts in the domestic programr are continuous and
powerful, the axe usually falls in the foreign de
partment, French or British citizens cannot penal
ize an American congressman at the polls.
Secondly, there is among American lawmakers,
as among many people in Western Europe and else
where, a greatly lessened fear of the Soviet Union
in 1952 as compared with the years just behind us.
The element of urgency in the arms aid program
has dinrinished, and nothing Mr. Truman can say is
likely to restore it:
The Russians themselves could revive it at a
stroke. But they have been laying lok. Since they
egged on the North Koreans to attack in 1950, they
have indulged in no further overt moves. There is
nothing new in their assistance to the Red rebels in
Indo-China amd Malaya, and they have not begun
an assault on the hated Tite in Yugoslavia.
In the meantime, the West's relative gains in
strength, plus a downward revaluation of Soviet
war potentialities, have further cemented the no
tion in Western thinking that war is not really so
close as was earlier thought.
Inevitably this has made strong impact on con
gressional minds. But there is still another factor.
A substantial group in Congress always has wished
to place aid to the West on a performance basis. In
other words, we would pay out in accord with the
degree of Europe’s progress in rearming itself, set=
ting its economic house in order, and developing
projects for political and ecohomic unity.
This view has never actually prevailed, but it is
now more widely held than ever. Many lawmak
ers are distressed at what they consider the falter=
ing steps taken toward adoption of the Schuman
coal-steel unity plan and the six-nation European
army. They are also distressed over the failure to
put meat on the skeleton of the Council of Europe,
the organization symbolic of wider federation
among the Western powers.
Put together disappoiniment with Europe’s self=-
starting progress, a declining fear of the Soviet
Union and the need for an economy demonstration
in election season and you have a fairly stout array
of arguments to weigh upon lawmakers’ minds.
Europe To Reap Travel
.
‘ Dollars Again
' Steamship companies and airlines in U.S.-to-
Europe service report the heaviest advance reserva
tions in a long time for this spring and early sum
mer. Some bookings are still open for May and
August. June and July schedules are almost com
pletely filled.
European travel dropped from 302,000 passengers
in 1950 to an estimated 270,000 for 1951—about 10
percent. Dollar value volume was down, too—from
$225 million to about $202 million, Steamship com=-
panies carried about 65 percent of the traffic, air=-
lines 35 percent.
Heavy advance bookings indicate 1952 volume
may be up to new records. American travel is a
great dollar earner for European countries. Big
trouble is that Ewrope doesn’t have enough modern
hotels to take care of the influx. There has been
little new hotel construction in Europe since before
World War 1.
Reds Infensify Voice Jamming
Soviet government is now spending twice as
much to jam “Voice of America” broadcasts as the
U. S. puts into its whole infornration program. This
is the statement of Wilson Compton, former presi
dent of Washington State College, now head of the
State Department’s new International Information
Administration.
In spite of jamming, Dr. Compton says 25 to 75
percent of “Voice” programs get through.
Latest efforts of Communists to stop listening to
the “Voice” makes it a crinre to pass on its news
reports. “Czechoslovakia has such a “protection of
the peace” law, with a 25-year penalty for “war
mongering,” by relaying outside news. Ln Bulgaria,
the electric power is turned off during hours when
the “Voice” is on.
I think we have created so many committees and
commissions to deal wjth these problems (European
defense) that people are stumbling over each other
rather than trying to get together in a room and
decide something.—Senator Richard B. Russell (D.-
Georgia).
I feel we talk too much about raising the spirit of
people through material means. We have the sophis
ticated, cynical observation that, “The most sensi
tive nerve in the human body is the pocketbook.”—
General Dwight Eisenhower,
If a great battle is lost Parliament and the people
can turn out the government, If a great battle is
won crowds cheer the King.—Winston Churchill.

To evaluate the progress that is {
being made in conservation of the
natural resources of individual
states throughout the Nation,
Friends of the Land plan to -con«
duct a new series of state conser- |
vation meetings, and the first of
these was held in Cleveland on
March 12 to appraise and evaluate
the progress of conservation in
Ohio. |
It is planned that authorities in
conservation and related fields in
each particular _state will be asked
to address these meetings. At the ‘
Cleveland meeting James D.'
Wells, Assistant Director of Ohio’s |
Department of Natural Resources, |
appraised the progress that has:
been made in the conservation of |
Ohio’s forest resources. |
Mr. Wells told the conference
that intelligent appraisat of Ohio’s |
forest resources must be predi
cated on an understanding of the
geology and soils of the State. i
Partial glaciation of Ohio thous
ands of years ago is responsible
for the pattern of land use and
soils capabilities existent in the
State today. Forestry has a proper
and waluable place in our total
agricultural production, but the.
kind and scope of forest products

On this premsse one can honestly

On the other hand, Mr. Wells
added, the dollar profit from well

the intangible values of such
woodland in climatic benefits,
wildlife habitat, water and similar
factors, indicate that existing farm
woods interspersed through good

“The increasing volume of wood
