By HERBERT FOSTER
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UP) Sen. Jos
eph R. McCarthy Wednesday ac
cused Harold E. Stassen of "per
jury" in statements before the
Senate - Permanent Investigating
Subcomittee.
The Wisconsin Republican de
manded that the foreign aid chief's
testimony be sent to the Justice
Department for 'possible prosecu
tion. . i
Stassen just smiled at McCarthy.
McCarthy said Stassen "lied un
der 'oath" when he told the sub
committee that two subcommittee
staff members in 1953 made trans
scripts when they conducted pre
liminary questioning of staff mem
bers for the Foreign Operations
Administration which Stassen
heads.
Question Contract
. The flare-up came as the sub
committee questioned Stas
sen about his agency's handling of
a contract for grain elevators in
.Pakistan with VJS. funds.
Stassen had just told the sub
Committee he will, reject all bids
on the disputed contract and start
over again. It had been charged
tha the bid had been awarded tp
the highest of five bidders.
When Stassen insisted that trans
cripts were made, of preliminary
questioning during the subcom
mittee's 1953 investigation of East
West trade, McCarthy charged
that Stassen "has just perjured
himself ... No transcripts were
made." '
i! "His case should be referred to
the Justice Department even if he
does hold the position he does."

Sue Estate of
Oil Promoter
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) One
hundred and ten angry Californi
ans brough suit Monday against
the estate of a high pressure "oil
land' promoter who allegedly
swindled them out of $120,000 be
fore he died four years ago.
The suit was brought against
the estate of" the late Robert Rus
sell Sidebotham, who was killed
in an automobile accident in Ida
ho four years ago at the age of 63.
Morris Lowenthal. attorney for
the plaintiffs, told Superior Judge
George W. Schienfeld there were
actually "233 victims in the swin
dle, but some still refuse to be
lieve Sidebotham cheated them.
Other suits are pending in Colo
rado and Idaho.
Also named as defendants were
Dennis Hutaball, 46, a partner .in
the promotion who claimed he
merely acted ' as an employe of
Skiebotham's and is innocent of
any attempt to defraud, and W.A.
Robinson, San Francisco public
administrator, I who handled Side
In his opening statement Lowen
thal said Sidebotham "began his
swindle" in 1946 when he sold
leases on land adjoining the Elk
Spring and Rangely areas of Col
orado, site of some of the world's
largest oil deposits.
Lowenthal charged that the pro
moter acquired leases on land ad
joining the oil fields for from 50
cents to $1 an acre. However,
some of the i land was actually
more than 100 miles from the
drilling sites, Lowenthal said.
He went on to say that Side
botham would then charge his
victims" $350 an acre for each
lease.
TM attorney said Sidebotham
promised his : clients they would
become "millionaires." ' but they
received nothing for their-' money.
Since the leases were actually
trusts, he said, the sales were
swindles and the victims should
get their money back, i
Sidebotham : died Dec.' 15, 1951.
He left no will, but a code book
was found containing 20 aliases
under which he had bank accounts
and safe deposit boxes. So far
$149,000 in cash has been found in
deposit boxes on the Pacific Coast
alone.

"Pinf-size" refineries help
Folks who like a bargain don't have to look any farther
than the gas tanks of their cars. For despite a steady
increase in quality, gasoline prices have remained low
and Standard Oil Company of California's table-top
refineries are one good reason why.
They are pint-size laboratory pilot plants that en
able our scientists to develop cost-cutting manufac
turing methods for each new gasoline before iwe put
it into productionJ With the aid of these rubber and
glass forerunners of multi-million gallon refineries,
we've worked with car manufacturers to perfect bal
anced gasolines designed to bring out more efficiency
and economy from today's higher compression engines.
We've 'learned how to squeeze more gasoline from
