The committee's chief counsel, Francis D. Flanagan, disclosed Friday that Nathan received $92,000. Nathan To Be Called Nathan, self-styled "maker of deals," will be called before the committee next week to explain what services he performed to earn the fees. The three transactions were the sale by the War Assets Ad ministration of a government owned aluminum plant at Tor rance, Calif., a refinery at Cot ton Valley, La., and a surplus metal processing equipment at ! Canonsburg, Pa., in 1948 and 1949. Fees Paid By Purchasers Flanagan said Nathan re ceived a $57,000 fee in the Tor rance sale, $30,000 in the re finery case and $3,000 in the Canonsburg case. The fees were paid by the purchasers. Jess Larson, former head of the War Assets Administration, told the committee Friday he did not know of Nathan's inter est in the three cases until late last year. Larson, now General Services administrator, requested the committee inquiry after news paper stories criticized the Tor rance transaction and linked him I with Nathan, a key figure in tax . scandal hearings conducted by a House ways and means subcom mittee. Nathan Persistent Larson described Nathan as a "very persistent" man who was trying to get in through the back door, front door, window or kitchen." Larson said he put Nathan's name on a confidential "watch list" after he received word from the Justice Department late in 1948 that Nathan claimed to be a close friend of his. He said he had no financial transactions with Nathan.

Equipped for A-Bombs Many of the planes in the 10 additional combat wings will be equipped to deliver atomic bombs. But informed sources in dicated that U. S. atomic bombs will continue to be stored only in this country, at least for the time being. Atomic service squadrons are being trained to fly A-bombs im mediately to Europe in case of an emergency. Under this plan, atomic bombs would be avail able within about 24 hours for use by U. S. bombers based in Europe. Sent When Bases Ready The additional U.
