Shah Turns Down
Rosalind Russell
Loa Angeles, Dec. 8 (U.P.) The
Shah of Iran turned down a date
with Actress Rosalind Russell
Monday, sticking to his policy of
avoiding movie star entangle
ments. The Imperial Majesty's advis
ors announced "with regret"
that the 30-year-old Persian po
tentate couldn't accept the invi
tation from Carl Brisson, Dan
ish father-in-law of the star.
The Shah, continuing his cold
war tactics against the glamor
capital, stuck to his statement
he came here to inspect the
Lockheed plant in suburban Bur
bank, main stop on his itinerary.
After entertaining Iranian edi
tors in his party at lunch to
day, he flies to Sun Valley, Ida
ho, Wednesday for skiing, his
favorite sport. He expected to
stay a week, while the rest of
his party will continue to Wash
ington, D. C, Thursday.

INFLUENCE COSTS MONEY
Lobbying by Six Big Groups
Gets Attention of HouseGroup
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
Washington, Dec. 6 ff) Six big groups may be the initial tar
gets of a special house committee getting ready to investigate
lobbying.
While the committee, headed by Rep. Buchanan (D., Pa.), has
charted no fixed course and probably won't for several more
weeks, Buchanan told newsmen
It may be guided largely by a
Library of Congress report on
lobbying.
This report prepared by W
Brooke Graves of the legisla
tive reference service, says:
"Some of the fields in which
lobbies have been or are now
especially active" Include "the
tariff lobby; the natural resour
ces lobby in its various forms:
the real estate group, battling
against any kind of public hous
ing program; the air lines lob
by; the agriculture lobby; and
the dramatic struggle between
the representatives of the dairy
interests and the oleomargarine
manufacturers."
' Other active lobbies, the re
port continued, include those in
terested in business, education,
health, labor, military and vet
erans legislation.
During the first six months of
1948, the report said, more than
$3,500,000 was spent on lobby'
lng activities. The heavier out
lays were said to have been made
by groups interested in displaced
persons legislation and in bills
to repeal the tax on oleogmarga
rine, and to provide a govern
ment medical service program,
During that period, the report
said, nine group or organize
tions had lobbying expenditures
exceeding $100,000 each, while
eight others spent between $50,
000 and $100,000 and 20 between
$25,000 and $50,000.
"According to their own pro
fesed beliefs, as get forth in the
atatements made on the registra
tion forms," the report contin
ued, "practically none of these
corporations are engaged in lob
bying work.
"It would appear that all of
them sit in their offices or in
their hotel rooms and mediate,
thinking pure thoughts, but nev
er for a moment descending to
anything so common and . ordi
nary as lobbying , . . part of
these protestations are a pose;
many of them are obviously ex
aggerated, if not actual deliber
ate distortion of the truth."
The Congressional Library re
port did not mention the so-called
"postal pay lobby." Buchanan
declined to say whether his com
mittee would give early atten
tion to this group. Its members
literally swarmed through the
halls of Capitol Hill during the
days the pay raise bill was under
consideration and it was gener-

Auto Desiqned
San Diego, Calif., Dec. 6 (U.R)
A lightweight car which will re
tail for about $500 has been de
signed by T. P. Hall, San Diego
development engineer.
The car is about the size of
a postwar British Austin and
has a top speed of 45 miles an
hour and gas consumption of 45
miles to the gallon, Hall said. . It
has been tested, he said.
The machine is 153 inches in
overall length, has a 100-inch
wheel base and 50-inch wheel
tread. It is powered by a 10
horsepower engine, which drives
through a fluid coupling.
It is built largely of aluminum
alloy and plastic material and
weighs 775 pounds.
Hall said there are several
cars now in operation and the
various prototypes have been
driven several thousand miles
in tests.
Hall was chief development
engineer at Consolidated-Vultee
