Grain Trading

A congressional employe who
acknowledged a number of trans

a senate committee inquiring into
speculation today that he never

for the library of congress, told
a senate appropriations subcom

a dozen oats and wheat trans
actions during 1947 and that he
suffered a net loss of $1,744.75.
Rose, whose name appeared on
a list of traders made public
about week ago by the depart
ment of agriculture, told report
ers he bought and sold 1,000 bush
els of wheat futures last Septem
ber 20 while working on a re
port for the Herter committee on
foreign aid. He said he made a
small profit, but added that he
saw "nothing unethical" in the
transaction.
William Yandle Elliott, chief
director of the house foreign af
fairs committee, said the disclo
sure that Rose was in the com

he was working on the Herter
report "came as quite a surprise
to me." He said that Rose helped
to prepare statistics and some of
the text of the portions of the
Herter committee report dealing
with grain and fertilizers.
Most of the figures he worked
with, Elliott continued, were not
confidential but some of the ma
