Crawford. Who hitherto has en

Argentina May
JHelp India
NEW DELHI UP) - Argentina
which played an important part
in helping Indian's 1951 famine
fight, may play an even bigger
role in the current year.
Food ministry officials indicated
that India might ask Argentina to
provide more than the 512,500 tons
of wheat exported under a barter
deal in 1951. The exchange in
cluded Indian shipments of 60,000
tons of raw jute.
India has already arranged for
the open market purchase of more
than two million tons of grain dur
ing 1952, none from Argentina.
The final one million tons of the
American wheat loan will also
reach India in 1952.

has been hospitalized
for the past several days.
mission, Casey told the Senate la
vestigations Subcommittee, and
from then on things moved so fast
that "I was puzzled by it too."
Casey is an affluent Washington
lawyer and former Democratic
member of the House from Massa
chusetts. He testified that it was in the
New York office of Houston W.
Wasson, Morris' partner, that he
first learned that substantial pro
fits were possible, and that a deci
sion was made to launch the com
plicated transaction.
Subsequently, he said, the Com
mission authorized the sale of
three war surplus tankers to a
corporation headed by Casey be
fore the new firm actually was
incorporated.
3-Month'i Option
Questioned by Francis D. Flan
agan, subcommittee counsel, . Cas
ey said his group organized the
National Tanker Corp., which in
turn gave the United Tanker Corp.
a three-months option to buy its
rights in the vessels at $150,000
apiece.
United Tanker was a company
financed by Nationalist Chinese
interests. It was technically con
trolled by American officers, how
ever, and Wasson was its legal
representative.
Casey put $300 into National
Tanker. Julius C. Holmes, minis
ter at the U. S. Embassy in Lon
don, added another $300 and E.
Stanley Klein, a New York busi
ness, put up $400.
One of Two Deals
The 450 to 1 profit made in the
agreement with United Tanker was
one of two deals Casey and his
associates made in surplus ships
obtained from the Maritime Com
mission. It has been testified that with a
$100,000 investment in five other
tankers they realized $2,800,000
over a comparatively short period.
But Casey expressed regret Wed
nesday that the ships were sold
before the outbreak of fighting in
Korea.
"Nobody regrets that more than
I," he told reporters at the end of
his testimony. "Had we kept them
they would be worth 16 million
dollars now

probably in June, to express an
opinion on present liquor laws
and on the sale of spirits by tne
glass hi cocktail bars.
At the opening of the Legisla

On 'Promise'
WASHINGTON (JP)-Sen. Morse
(R-Ore) Wednesday challenged
the accuracy of a statement by Sen

promised to help Morse get t

Morse wrote Taft the statement
"does both yourself and me an

veracity between us should arise
in the public mind.
Taft told a reporter he had not
had an opportunity to read Morse's
letter, but he added "I certainly
never did" promise to help Morse
eet a foreign relations post.
In his letter to Taft, Morse said:

arisen as a result of the reported
comment you made in regard to

Mysterious
Noise Alarms
Portland Area
PORTLAND (iP)-A long, rum

west of the city Wednesday night
Police began an investigation, but
the cause of the noise was not
determined at once.
Heard over a wide area, it
sounded like thunder. The
Weather Bureau said that if it
was thunder, it was a freak, for
conditions did not indicate thun

Some residents reported seeing

day meeting here.
McClure, Master of the Oregon

law to provide proper allocation
of ground water. He also urged
for better farm public relations.

ebb" at present.
Opposition to any federal con
trols that would destroy food crops
was strongly expressed Wednes
day night by Herbert Rolph, speak
ing to the 130 Farmers Union
members at the annual banquet.
"With the modern storage facil
ities there is no excuse for destruc
tion of food as a control measure,"
Rolph told his listeners as he re
minded them that there "always
comes a lean year in production."
'Fair Returns' Sought
The national officer urged full
production but hoped for a "fair
means of providing the farmers
adequate returns. He reminded
them that increased crop produc
tion lowered parity basis, and that
the lower partly would set the pat
tern for the next 10 years. He
also pointed out that production
had already been greatly increased
during the past 10 years. In 1942,
he said, one average farm family
produced sufficient to feed five
families; today that family pro
vides food for 15 additional fam
ilies. Harley Libby, Jefferson, was

February Gale
Brings Snow
To Midwest
By The Associated Press
A February storm brought more
snow, sleet and strong winds to
upper areas of the mid -West
Wednesday.
Three days of snow brought
highway travel to a virtual stand
still in South Dakota. Strong
winds piled a foot of new snow
into huge drifts.
Main highways in Central Min
nesota were blocked. Winds drifted
up to 14 inches of new snow. Rain
and sleet glazed the southern part
of the state.
An estimated 250 schools were
closed in Minnesota. Some 200
vehicles, most of them semi-trailer
trucks, were stranded at Royalton,
Minn., about 75 miles northwest
of Minneapolis.
Hits Burled Car
At Bar Harbor, Me., strucx tr
one of the worst snow storms of
the century early in the week, a
snowplow bucked a drift and hit
a buried car. The crew opened a
car door and out reeled Paul V.
Delaney, 20, of Staten Island, N.
Y attached to the U. S. naval
radio station at Winter Harbor,
Me.
He said he had been in the car
since early Monday morning. He
was hospitalized but his condition
was reported as not serious.
A belt of freezing rain extended
from Northern Ohio northwest
ward through Southern Michigan
and Southern Wisconsin.
Light snow fell in the Central
and Northern Rocky Mountains.
Sub zero cold chilled parts of
Montana and Wyoming. Havre,
Mont., had a low of -12 and Big
Piney, Wyo., -29.
Into Sierras
A heavy storm sent snow swirl
ing down onto the Sierra Nevada,
again blocking the main transcon
tinental highways and setting an
81 -year snow depth record.
The Weather Bureau said 22
inches of new snow fell overnight
at Soda Springs, not far from
Donner Summit on U. S. Highway
40. Total depth on the ground to
day was 215 inches almost 18
feet. The old mark was 202 inches,
measured on Feb. 14, 1938.
U. S. Highways 40 and 50 were
blocked.
But the storm itself was taper

streamliner "City of San Francis

WASHINGTON (JP) - President
Truman, "seriously concerned
about the recent wave of airplane
crashes, set up a special commis

them, with the famed flyer James
H. Doolittle at its bead. i
The action came in the wake of

of the big Newark airport. :
Mr. Truman directed the com
mission to pay particular atten

location and use." .
He said in a letter to Doolittle,
a retired general who led the carrier-based
air strike at Tokyo in
World War II: - i
"For some time now I have beem
seriously concerned about airplane
accidents, both commercial and
military, that have occurred In the
takeoff and landing of aircraft,
especially in heavily populated
areas. ... ,
"I have decided to set op a tem
porary President's Airport Com
mission to look into the problem of
airport location and use." -s
