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.
STOCKING FRILLS AGAIN
New York (U.R) New dar
ing in the nylon hosiery field
comes in the guise of knee-highs,
topped with old-fashioned garter
like frills of lace and ribbon.
The hosiery is as washable as
regular nylons.. (Aberle, Inc.,
New York).
Washington (U.R) Sen. Paul
Douglas has served notice he
will fight to include Puerto Rico
in a one-dollar-an-hour minimum
wage bill which was passed by
the House yesterday. He said
he would do this when the
House measure is brought before
a Senate-House conference com
mittee to be reconciled with
another Senate bill of which he
is the chief author.
THERE'S AFFABILITY HERE A rare side to the Geneva Big Four conference is the
affability and apparent good nature of the Soviet delegation, unknown until now to
Western 'powers. Here, Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev. Premier Nikolai
Bulganin, Foreign' Minister V. M. Molotov all smile broadly for cameramen. Puss in
background couldn't quite make the grade.
Yacht Crew Says
Craft Never Lost
Honolulu (U.R) The crew of
the yacht South Wind claimed
today their craft was never lost
despite a two-day air-sea rescue
search which was' begun when
she failed to report her position
in the transpacific yacht race.
Capt. E. R. Gallasch, skipper
of the 39-foot ketch, said yester
day he stopped transmitting
position reports Monday because
his radio went dead.
Gallasch, of Monterey Park,
Calif., and his six member crew
maintained they were never lost
and could hear rescue vessels
circling around them.
An Air Force search plane
sighted the South Wind 55 miles
from the Diamond Head finish
line early yesterday. The ketch
crossed the finish line unevent
fully later in the day.
The South Wind was the 39th
boat to complete the race. The
Sea Mist, the last entry, is due
here Saturday.
