Deception Charge
Hurled in Probe of
Dixon-Yates Case
WASHINGTON Some of
President Eisenhower's key offi
cials were accused of "deception
and -concealment" and "contempt
of Congress" Sunday by three sen
ators who have been investigating
the Dixon-Yates power contract.
The senators, Kefauver D
Tenri). O'Mahoney D-Wyo) and
Langer R-ND, said their inquiry
hasraised questions of 'honesty
and uprightness in government"
and, added:
"The investigation is not com
plete." In a "10,000-word interim report,
the-three senators criticized Eisen
hower's top assistant, Sherman
Adams, and the heads of several
federal agencies, saying:
"One of the shameful things
about the Dixon-Yates deal is the
way the President's staff appar
ently has played fast and loose
with the facts even where he (the
President) is concerned."
Ursarpatioa
Kefauver is chairman and
O'Mahoney and Langer are mem
bers of an antitrust and monopoly
subcommittee of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee.
"The Dixon-Yates deal was a
usurpation of congressional respon
sibilities and functions," the report

said. "It was a deliberate effort
to reverse power policy in the Ten

and improper administrative prac
tices, f
"Misuse of independent agencies,
suppression, concealment, half
truths and misrepresentation have
followed as chain consequences,
each misstep leading to the next.
'Contempt Attitude j
"Documents before the commit-j
tee, as well as specific actions to
circumvent Congress and to keep
information from Congress and
the public, indicate an attitude of
contempt toward Congress, and to
ward democratic processes and
the fundamental rights of citizens
in a democracy which is politically
unhealthy."
The subcommittee' noted that itj
already had asked Atty. Gen.
BrowneH to take action on "con-
flicts in testimony of Mr. Edgar H. ;
Dixon," of the Dixon-Yates group.!
It also asked Justice Department I
role in the transaction, involving
conflict of interest," which is pro
hibited by federal law.
The report stressed Wenzell's
post as a government consultant
on Dixon-Yates and other power
matters while on leave as an offi
cial of the First Boston Corp.
"The First Boston Corp. is a 285-million-dollar
New York invest
ment banking house which handles
large amounts of utility financing,
the report said, including the pro
posed Dixon-Yates project.
Added Testimony
The subcommittee said it would
insist on additional testimony,
when hearings are resumed, from
Budget Director Rowland Hughes;
Ralph Demmler, former chairman
of the Securities and Exchange
j Commission: Chairman Lewis
' Strauss of the AEC: Gen. Herbert
j Vogel. chairman of TVA; and Jer
ome Kuykendall, chairman of the
Federal Power Commission.
The report reviewed much of the
public testimony taken at congres
sional probes of Dixon-Yates and
made a blanket charge of a "plan
of concealment" against federal of
ficials and others involved in the
Dixon-Yates proposal.
It said the project, if carried out,
would admittedly cost the

BERLIN m An American

of the Soviet Union Sunday urged
similar exchange visits in other
fields to break down suspicion and
encourage good will in the interest
of peace.
Eleven farmers, educators and
newsmen flew here from Moscow
Sunday afternoon after a month
long look at Russia. The leader,
Dean W. V. Lambert of the Uni
versity of Nebraska Agricultural
School, told correspondents:
"I'm sure we made some friends
in Russia and the tension we first
felt when we went there did not
exist when we left. Similar ex
changes would be desirable, to
break down the barriers.
"These people are tremendously
isolated and anything we can do
in this direction would be helpful.
They have the most to gain by
exchanges now but later we might
gain considerably."

Yes, it's a long way from this processing plant in
Oregon to Los Angeles, or Chicago, or Cincinnati
...or to virtually all of Oregon's larger markets.
'The load on this farmer's truck, and the load in this
refrigerated trailer, are a very small part of the
great volume and variety of Oregon farm products
that are trucked daily to distant population centers.
! Two dominant factors have worked vogether to
overcome the penalties imposed by distance to mar
kets. One, of course, is the "Blue Ribbon" quality
of Oregon-grown meats, fruits and vegetables. The
other is the superior quality of truck transportation
developed for those products. .Trucks provide the
swift, dependable refrigerated service from farm to
market that is so vital to preserving peak flavor
and freshness.
For example, last year Consolidate J Freigbtuayt
mot td more than 18 million pounds of fresh, per
ishable farm products from Oregon to California
alone and much more than that to other marketi.
Consolidated Freightways is only one of the many
reliable motor freight carriers that serve the Oregon
farmer. The trucking industry is a good neighbor
to the farmer and to all other segments of the state'a
economy... serving agriculture, industry and busi
ness everywhere in Oregon... helping Oregon grow.
