Mundl Asks End
Os Cohn's Feud
With Kennedy
Democrats' Adviser
Says McCarthy Aide
Threatened Jackson /
By Allen Drury
Senator Mundt today de
manded that two Senate Inves
tigations subcommittee staff as
sistants put an end to a bitter
personal feud which almost led
to a fist fight after yesterday’s
session of the Army-McCarthy
hearing.
The latest flare-up occurred
when Roy M. Cohn, chief coun
sel of the subcommittee, walked
up to Robert Kennedy, counsel
for the Democratic members of
the group, and threatened to
“get” Senator Jackson, Dem
ocrat. of Washington, because
the Senator ridiculed a plan for
anti-Communist psychological
warfare prepared by Pvt. G.
David Schine. A sharp verbal
exchange followed.
Senator Mundt, acting chair- |
man of the subcommittee, said
in an interview that there has
been “a feud . . . going on for
a long time between Kennedy
and Cohn.” He added:
"I don’t know why and I don’t
care why. It is something that
has no place in the hearings and
it isn't going to have a place in
the hearings. They are just
popping off and they can stop
it.”
Possible Answer to Demand.
This statement by the acting
chairman seemed to be an an
swer to Mr. Cohn’s demand that
he be given the right to ask ques
tions Monday. He asserted this
procedure “might develop the
true facts” about some of the
things Senator Jackson had said
during questioning of Senator
McCarthy about Pvt. Schine.
Here are the accounts of the
Kennedy-Cohn fracas as given
by the two combatants:
As Chairman Mundt recessed
the hearing, Mr. Cohn left the
witness-stand where he was
seated beside Senator McCarthy
and walked behind the commit
tee table where Mr. Kennedy was
picking up his papers and pre
paring to leave.
According to Mr. Cohn's ver
sion, he askejl Mr. Kennedy if
he thought some one who had a
personal hatred for one of the
principals in the case should be
advising the Democratic mem
bers. He said Mr. Kennedy
turned away angrily.
This was not the same episode
seen and heard by half a dozen
newsmen. Nor did it conform to
Mi\ Kennedy’s version.
Kennedy’s Version.
Mr. Kennedy told it this way:
“He came up to me as I was
picking up my papers and said,
’You'd better tell Jackson we’re
going to get him on Monday.
We’re going to bring out stuff
on him being favorably inclined
to Communists. We’re going to
bring out stuff that he has writ
ten favorable to communism.’
“He was mad. He was speak
ing as though something was
about to explode within him. He
was calm and speaking through
his teeth.
“Mr. Kennedy said he told Mr.
Cohn he had ’a hell of a nerve
to threaten me.’
“I told him he had tried it
on the Army, and he had tried
it on the Democratic Senators
on the committee, and now he
was trying it on me. I told him
ii he had any threats to make
to Senator Jackson to carry it
right to Senator Jackson.
Shouldn’t Be Adviser.
“He said I shouldn’t be on the
committee advising the Demo
crats as long as I had a personal
hatred for one of the principals.
He said, ‘you hate me.’
“I told him. ‘if I dislike you,

Representatives Agitated Over Proposal
To Slice Federal Payment to City
Three Representatives, long
time friends of the District, were
expected to lead an assault on
the House floor on Monday to
restore the full authorized Fed
eral payment to the city for
fiscal 1955.
Urgent telephone discussions
between the Capitol and the
District Building have been go
ing on since Thursday, when the
House Appropriations Commit
tee recommended a sl6 million
payment—s 4 million below the
amount authorized by the re
cently enacted public works con
struction bill.
Indications were that city of

on the avowed interest of Chair

of a greater Federal share in

Knowland Criticizes Suspect in Kidnaping
Motion by Flanders Is Jailed, Identified
To Curb McCarthy In Lineup by Victim
Adoption Would Disrupt
Orderly Procedures of
Senate, He Declares
By Gould Lincoln
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland today criticized as “a
mistake” Senator Flanders’ reso
lution to strip Senator McCarthy
of his committee chairmanships I
unless he “purged” himself of |
financial charges brought 1
1 against him.
Senator Knowland said in an
interview that adoption of the
Flanders proposal would open a
“veritable Pandora’s Box” and
break down orderly procedures
in the Senate.
“I told Senator Flanders, Re- j
publican, of Vermont, it was a
mistake to introduce a resolution
of that kind in the Senate at
this time without any consulta
tion with the leaders of that
body,” Senator Knowland said.
“I do not believe it is the pro
cedure which should be followed.
I do not believe that the motion
is justified. It is contrary to the
usual procedures in the Senate
and opens the door to disruption
of orderly Senate procedures.”
Won’t Predict Outcome.
While Senator Knowland was
unwilling to predict the fate of
the Flanders resolution, an im
pression prevailed at the Capitol
; that there would not be sufficient
votes to put it through.
While many Democrats who
oppose Senator McCarthy might
wish to support the resolution,
it was said, the probabilities are
that it would not receive support
from a sufficient number to as
sure its adoption. Furthermore,
it was suggested that chairmen
as standing committees of the 1
Senate would be reluctant to vote
for such a proposition, since it
could cause them trouble in the
future.
Senator McCarthy, Republi- |
can. of Wisconsin is chairman
of the Government Operations
Committee and its Investigating
subcommittee.
Senator Knowland said he be
lieved Senator Flanders should
have waited until after the pres
ent hearings in the Army-Mc
i Carthy row had been completed
and a report filed, before intro
ducting his resolution to take
away Senator McCarthy’s chair
manships.
Motion Offered.
In introducing the motion
yesterday. Senator Flanders said
Senator McCarthy was in con
tempt of the Senate because he
had ignored a Senate report
criticizing his receipt of SIO,OOO
from the Lustron Corp., and |
I raising the question whether
money given him to fight Com
munists had been diverted to his
own personal use.
Senator McCarthy called the
allegations “a smear.”
It is Senator Flanders’ con
tention that unless the Wis
consin Senator is willing to
answer the charges and permit
a thorough investigation he
should not be allowed to con
tinue in his chairmanships.

Unemployed Welder, 41,
Won't Admit or Deny
Arizona Abduction
By tho Associated Pross
PHOENIX, Ariz., June 12.—A
41-year-old unemployed welder
with two children was jailed for
Investigation of kidnaping today
after Mrs. Evelyn Ann Smith
identified him as her abductor.
The suspect, Daniel J. Marsin,
refused to admit or deny his
guilt.
He grinned broadly when Mrs.
Smith, 23, wife of a Phoenix in
dustrialist, picked him from a
police lineup of five men.
“That’s him,” said Mrs. Smith.
“There no question about it.”
Prosecutor Accuses Him.
William Mahoney, Maricopa
County attorney, closeted him
self with Marsin for several
hours and later announced;
“He gave marginal details of
the kidnaping, but would neither
admit nor deny the act without
full advice of a competent at
torney. But, this much I know
—he’s the guy.”
Marsin, who has lived in
Phoenix with his wife and chil
dren since 1951, refused to make
any statement to police. He
would not discuss whether htf'
was the man who kidnaped the
young mother at gunpoint
Wednesday afternoon and held
her captive for 24 hours until
$75,000 was paid.
No Clues on Money.
Police admitted they had no
clues to what happened to the
ransom money which the vic
tim's husband, Herbert Smith,
said he left as directed at the
Superstition Mountains, 45 miles
east of Phoenix.
When Marsin was arrested
five miles from the payoff point
late Thursday night, he had only
17 cents in his pockets.
He was naked to the waist
when he stumbled into a ranch
house pleading for a drink of
water. Sheriff’s deputies who
were questioning the home own
ers booked him as a possible
suspect.
The deputies said Marsin
them at that time he had been ;
prospecting and ran out of
water, then tore off his shirt
and undershirt when he became
delirious.
Police said he made “several
statements last night which con
flicted with his original story.”
Last night he was placed in
police lineup with four men who \
looked somewhat alike, and Mi's. j
Smith promptly pointed to him.
“I won’t say whether I’m
guilty or not,” said Marsin Piter

FHA Identifies
70'Windfall'
Profit Projects
Report Lists Five
In District Area;
Builders Explain
By Hector McLean
Albert M. Cole, Federal Hous
ing and Home Finance Agency
administrator, has identified 70
apartment house projects in
sured by the Federal Housing
Administration—including nearly
half a dozen in the Washington
area—in which he said builders
had “windfall” profits.
He released a report, in which
more than 200 corporations were
named, from William F. Mc-
Kenna, deputy Housing and
Home administrator, who is
handling one of several investi
gations of the FHA.
Other probes are being pressed
by the Senate Banking Commit
tee, under the chairmanship of
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, and the Joint Com
mittee on Reduction of Nones
sential Federal Expenditures
headed by Senator Byrd, Demo
crat. of Virginia.
Referred to Justice Dept.
A Housing and Home state
ment quoted Mr. McKenna as
saying all of the 70 cases are
being referred to the Justice
Department for such civil or
criminal proceedings as ynay be
indicated.
“Windfall” profits occurred
when builders constructed apart
ment developments for less than
the value of mortgages guaran
teed by FHA under its Section
608 program which expired in
1952.
The Housing and Home state
ment said Mr. McKenna’s re
port covered only the 608 cases
reviewed by investigators through
June 4, 1954—in which sponsors
had • received windfalls of ap
proximately S4O million.
Os this, the report said, $31.7
million had been distributed to
stockholders.
Other Profits Not in Report.
Mr. McKenna said that in
many of the cases other very
substantial windfalls were real
ized which were not reflected in
his figures.
The report indicated the
Washington area projects had
windfalls of more than $3 mil
lion, resulting from investments
of less than $35,000.
The report said sponsors of
the 70 projects invested $4,141,-
390, had got insured mortgages
of $277,593,500, had built for
costs reported at $239,374,770
and had total windfalls of $39,-
539,833. Os this, the report said,
$31,755,000 had been distributed
to stockholders.
“This investigation has already
demonstrated beyond question,”
Mr. McKenna reported, “that
certain promoters were aided
and guided by former top FHA
officials in the windfall prac
tices.”
The McKenna report listed
{the name of the project, the
principals, paid-in capital stock,
mortgage loan, reported cost of
project, windfall and amount of
distribution of windfall.

Young Wins Fight
To Control Central
By Broad Margin
Million-Vote Advantage
* Reported in Tally to
Be Released Monday
By tho Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 12.—The j
future of the Nation's second j
biggest railroad, the New York >
Central, lay today in the hands j
of Robert R. Young, Texas-born
financier.
Mr. Young won the bitter fight
for control by a margin of 1,070,-
000 shares out of the Central’s
grand total of 6,447,410, an au
thoritative source who declined
to be named said yesterday.
The official results, which may
vary slightly from this figure,
are to be announced at 10 a.m.
Monday by the election inspec
tors at Albany, N. Y„ where the
count of shares has been in
progress since the stockholders’
meeting May 26.
But there was no doubt about
the outcome. In Los Angeles,
Mr. Young’s wealthy Texas
friend, Clint W. Murchison, con
firmed the victory.
Texans Are Chief Factors.
It was Mr. Murchison who,
with his fellow Texan, Sid W.
Richardson, bought the long
contested 800,000 shares which
were the backbone of Mr.
Young’s victory.
“Yes, we have won the Central
fight—the Young group, that is,”
said Mr. Murchison t “it’s in the
bag, even without those 800,000
shares.”
No comment was available
from the defeated Central, board
headed by William White, Cen
tral president.
Mr. Young’s likely choice to
take over Mr. White’s Job as
president is Alfred E. Perlman,
51-year-old executive vice presi
dent of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western Railroad.
Last April 14 Mr. White said
he would resign as president if
Mr. Young won the proxy battle.
Mr. Young’s triumph ended an
85-year reign by the old banking
powers of the East over the af
fairs of the Central system—a
10,700-mile road second only to
the Pennsylvania in revenues
and to the Santa Fe in route
miles.
Scored in Wall Street.
A breakdown of the count by
the unofficial source showed that
Mr. Young increased his lead by
scoring heavily in his old stamp
ing grounds, Wall Street. He
carried the huge block of 2,750,-
000 shares held in brokers’ names
by a margin of about lV'a to 1—
getting a plurality of roughly
475,000 shares. This margin in
cluded the 200,200 shgres Mr.
Young and his old-time asso
ciate, Allan P. Kirby, own per
sonally.
Brokers hold this stock on be
half of an estimated 10,000 to
15,000 individual owners.
On top of this, Mr. Young had
the 800,000 shares owned in the
names of Mr. Murchison and Mr.
Richardson. These two Texans
were among some 41,000 other
stockholders.
Among the bulk of these stock
holders, the source disclosed. Mr.
White was the favorite. Indi
vidually, their proxies went for
Mr. White by 2 to 1 and by
shares Mr. White led Mr. Young
!in this group by 200,000. But
this edge was completely erased
by the massive holdings of the
opposition.

Eisenhower-Dulles Speeches
Dismay Geneva Bargainers
Allies See U. S. Shift Against Intervention;
Fear Talk Harms France, Indo-China
By Crosby S. Noyes
foreign Correspondent of The Star
PARIS. June 12.—1 f there was
ever a time when daily speeches
by Secretary of State Dulles
were unhelpful that time is now. i
It has nothing to do with the
Secretary’s qualifications as a
U. S. Attention Turned to Overall Threat
es Reds in Asia. Rage A-3
speaker, nor with the rightness
or wrongness of what he says.
It’s simply that there are times
for talking and times for keeping
quiet. And to the extent that
the United States has an inter
est in the present world crisis, a
gag for all top public offiicals is
urgently indicated.
In the past few days state
ments by Mr. Dulles and Presi
dent Eisenhower have gone far
toward destroying the one small
reserve of bargaining power that
the allies had at Geneva. And in
the present French political
crisis these same statements
have complicated severely the
almost impossible struggle for
survival of a government heart
ily devoted to the goals of Amer
ican foreign policy.
Ironically enough Mr. Dulles
seems to be intent on destroying
the very thing which he worked
so frantically to create in the
last days before the opening of
the Geneva Conference; the
situation of potential strength
in Southeast Asia from which
J the allies could bargain with
some hope of success. It can
scarcely be denied that the ad
ministration deliberately set out
to sell the idea to the American
public that Indo-China was vital
to American strategic interests—
that the country, together with
its allies, should be ready to
fight to prevent the area from
falling under Communist domi
nation.
Policy Reversal.
Today the machine is in re
verse. Both the Secretary and
the President seem to be saying
now that the United States has
no intention of intervening in
Indo-China. And they are saying
it more clearly every day.
Admittedly a good part of Mr.
Dulles’ original plan fell through
when the proposal of interven
tion was cold-shouldered by our
< major allies. Perhaps, as has been
said, there was a certain element
of bluff in all that tough talk,
i Perhaps American intervention
in Indo-China is in fact impos
sible militarily, politically and
morally.
Admitting all these things, It
is still a mystery why Mr. Dulles

and Gen. Eisenhower consider
it wise to broadcast them official- ;
ly. Up to this time there has
•been exactly one thing that of
fered some hope of curbing the
implacable ambition of Com-
I munist negotiators at Geneva.
In France there was one thing
that gave the government some
reason to continue the heart
breaking diplomatic and military
struggle. This was the possi
bility of American intervention.
Once that possibility is gone,
the Communists have nothing
whatever to worry about. And j
the French have nothing to look
forward to.
Even those Europeans who
looked forward with the greatest
misgivings to the possibility of
j American intervention in Indo-
China admit this disastrous es

1 position. “From now on,” says Le
Monde, “the most menacing talk
may well be taken as pure bluff.
The time of greaest danger for
world peace will be the day when
i the bluffing ends and precise
j intentions are misunderstood in
! the other camp.”
Indo-China Lost?
From here the Secretary’s
speeches can be explained onty
in one way: The United States
is now absolutely convinced that
the Geneva talks will lead no
; where and that Indo-China is
inevitably lost to the Commu
nists. If that is true, then per
haps it is more merciful from
everyone’s point of view to throw

Juror in Beall Case
Is Ruled Ineligible
By tho Attocioted Bran
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio. June
12.—A member of the grand
jury which indicted Edward
Beall, former manager of Mont
gomery County, Md., was de
clared ineligible yesterday.
Judge James W. Lang jr., in
Scioto County Court, dismissed
four indictments returned by
the May grand jury against Rob
ert L. Yates, 34, on the ground
that one juror was not a regis
tered voter in the county, and
therefore was ineligible for jury
duty.
Mr. Yates was indicted for
statutory rape of girl inmates
of the county children’s home
where he was supervisor of boys.
The same grand jury indicted
Mr. Beall, former Portsmouth
city manager who resigned his
Maryland post after he was
charged with responsibility for
fund shortages at the city-run
Portsmouth hospital.
At his home here today, Mr.
Beall said he had not been tn-
I formed officially of the new de
velopment but considered it
“very interesting.”
“If the whole work of the
grand jury were to be thrown
out on a technicality like that.”
said Mr. Beall, “and it would
j have to reconvene next fall, that
i would be most harassing to me.”
Mr. Beall’s attorney. Ernest

Assembly Vote,
But May Stay
French Deputies
Defeat Premier
In 306-293 Tally
By the Associated Pross
PARIS, June 12.—The French
National Assembly today de
feated Premier Joseph Laniel on
a vote of confidence. 306-293,
and Mr. Laniel submitted his
resignation to President Rene
Coty. Mr. Coty did not accept
the resignation immediately but
promised a reply on Monday.
The Assembly vote was short
of the absolute majority of 313

for Geneva Parley. Page A-5

Indo-China. Page A-5
necessary to make Mr. Laniel’a
resignation mandatory under the
French constitution.
In practice, governments have
resigned if put in a minority on
a vote of confidence, even if the
opponents do not rally the abso
lute majority.
Mr. Coty’s action leaves
France with a half-in and half
out government over the week
end. It also leaves the Geneva
conference in suspense. If the
resignations are accepted, a long
crisis may follow and the Geneva
conference may have to disband
for lack of a French representa
tive with power to act.
Tricky Proposal.
Today’s vote of confidence was
on a tricky and negative proce
i dural question. Early Thursday
morning, the deputies refused to
adopt a resolution endorsing gov
ernment policy. This had gov
ernment approval and was in
tended to wind up the four-day
debate on Indo-China policies.
After his own resolution had
been rejected, Mr. Laniel posed
the confidence question on re
jection of three sharply critical
opposition resolutions. By its vote
today, the Assembly agreed to
; go ahead and consider these res
; olutions, against the govern
ment’s will.
Although the vote was on the
conduct of the Indo-China war,
many of the deputies probably
voted against the government be
cause of feelings about the Eu
ropean Army issue (EDC). De
Gaullists in the cabinet insisted
shat nothing should be done to
move ahead the legislative proc
ess toward a ratification debate.
The Popular Republican Move
ment (MRP) was just as firm in
pushing ahead with the project.
Mr. Laniel, as the umpire, simply
could not placate the irreconcil
ables.
Support Plea Fails.
In his brief address at the
start of the debate this morning,
i Mr. Laniel said his government
should be kept in office unless
“a new team can be formed im
mediately with a large and faith
ful majority.”
Mr. Laniel said that he did not
believe that the Assembly was
ready to accept an "Asiatic Mu
nich,” by agreeing to give up its
fight on honorable terms in
Indo-China and he did not be
lieve that a majority of the As
sembly was willing to vote down
the Atlantic alliance.
Mr. Laniel said that those who
had accused the government of
not seriously seeking peace in
, Indo-China at the Geneva con
' ference might be destroying all
chances for such a peace by
i throwing him out of office.
