MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVX IPirobe of Anr Secretary's Business Ties SfiBO pen (Despite (Offer To Quit Firm Friday, July 22. 1955 Investigation ot Talbott's Business Ties 'Still Open' Washington (U.R; Sen. John L. McClellan said today the in vestigation of Air Force Secre tary Harold E. Talbott's business connection is "still open" despite Talbott's offer to leave the firm. McClellan (D-Ark.) said his Senate Investigating Subcommit tee will meet soon to consider testimony in which the dapper secretary denied he used his Pentagon post to promote his business. Talbott insisted he was "clean but offered to give up his $60,000 a year partnership in Paul B, Mulligan and Co., a New York management engineering firm, if the subcommittee thought he should. Publie Hearing The subcommittee speedily held an impromptu public hear ing at Talbott's request after publication of photostats and ex cerpts from its files. The letters were from Talbott and dealt with Mulligan and Co.'s business. Talbott said he never used his official position to solicit busi ness for the partnership, though he admitted he might have spoken to a number of his old friends, those he knew on a first name basis, among corporation executives about the clerical sur veys Mulligan and Co. conducts for large firms. Air Force General Counsel John A. Johnson refused to dis cuss with a reporter a portion of - Talbott's testimony concerning him. Talbott said he talked with Johnson about the refusal of the giant Radio Corporation of America to renew its Mulli gan contract without approval of the attorney general. Special Partner The secretary swore he had not violated the letter or spirit of his statement to the Senate Armed Services committee in 1933, when he said he had divest ed himself of his other corporate cannections in order to win con firmation. He said he told sen ators then that he would retain his interest as a "special part ner" in the Mulligan firm. Talbott told the committee he and his partner, Mulligan, agreed that if the firm ever served a client whose business was "predominantly" Air Force contracts, the profits would be segregated and Talbott would get no part of them. But he said this agreement was never put into effect, be cause Mulligan never considered that any of the firm's clients had enough Air Force business to warrant using it.
