FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November 25, 1955 emocrats Deman in Prosecutions Dixon-Yates Contract Controversy Kefauver Plans Additional Probe Of 'Wrongdoing' Washington U.PJ Demo crats today kept alive the Dixon Yates issue by demanding prose cutions in the controversy and cromising additional investiga tions. Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler demanded that the administration prose cute officials responsible for what he called the "now-admitted wrongdoing" involved in the abandoned power contract. Vould Provide Test Butler said the Dixon-Yates matter would provide a "real test of Republican promises to deal vigorously with any mis conduct in government. His statement was prompted by the Atomic Energy Commis sion's announcement Wednesday night that it considers the con tract invalid. The AhC said there was a possible violation of the conflict of interest law in negotiating the contract and that it would pay -no cancellation costs 0:1 it unless ordered to do so by a court. Kefauver Pledges Probe Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn ), chairman of a Senate subcom mittee investigating the Dixon Yates matter, said that the AEC's action is "not the end of the fight." He said his group will "continue our investigation of the connection between the Eisenhower administration and the private power lobbies." The AEC said the possible vio lation involved the activities of Adolphe H. Wenzell, New York investment banker who acted both as consultant to the gov ernment and as an official of 1 the firm which handled Dixon Yates financial arrangements. Butler said that in view of the AEC's finding the administra tion should explain why Presi dent Eisenhower and Budget Di rector Rowland Hughes said they regarded Wenzell's role in the contract negotiations as proper. Butler Hails Opposition Butler said "the two-year fight of the Democrats to stop the Dixon-Yates deal is a spendid example of how a visi tant opposition can serve the public interest. "Blocking the deal saved the taxpayers more than $100,000. 000 in excess power costs, and now there should be another S4.000.000 or $5,000,000 saving of cancellation fees because of QUICK RELIEF FROM MOST ARTHRITIS RHEUMATISM PAINS -OR YOUR MONEY BACK!

It feeds, clothes and shelters its inhabitants with facilities that include banking service, medical and dental clinics, post office, barber shop, uniform and tailoring shop, shoe repair shop, railway and airline ticket office, dry cleaning and laundry shop, florist, bakery and jewelry store. Feeding employees in its many restaurants, cafeterias and snack bars is a tremendous task they consume 60,000 pounds of food and 30,000 cups of coffee a day. This huge hunk of steel, con crete and glass has 65,000 light fixtures which require 1,000 bulbs as replacements each day. Operation and maintenance of the building uses the services of the investigation which un covered the conflict of interest violation." Under the Dixon-Yates con tract, the private power com bine was to have built a power plant at West Memphis, Ark., and to have supplied power to the Tennessee Valley Authority to replace TVA power furnished AEC installations elsewhere. The project was dropped when the city of Memphis, Tenn., which was to have re ceived much of the Dixon-Yates power, said it would refuse to accept the private power and would build its own municipal power plant to serve its grow ing needs. 600 persons, including carpen ters, painters, electricians, lock smiths and mechanics. Security Sections Cleaning the five acres of i windows employs a crew of 10 washers a day. It takes them about one month to clean every window in the place, and then they start in all over again. Security precautions restrict many segments of the Pentagon to the general public. This in cludes the place occupied by the joint chiefs of staff, which is about the closest guarded sec tion in the building. Over 170 security officers roam the hall ways, carefully screening and escorting visitors. The nerve center of the Unit ed States, the Pentagon has led a stormy life since it was com pleted in January, 1943. It is still the butt of jokes and is consid ered by many to be a "white ele phant." Critics of this five-sided build ing predicted that after World War II it would become useless and a financial drain on the gov ernment. Now filled to over flowing, it is said to be the most efficiently used government building. It is estimated that it will pay for itself in six to 12 years, based on the rental of an equivalent area of Washington office space.

Its history dates back to 1941 when the old War Department was spread out in 68 different buildings. Congress was talked into, voting about $35,000,000, but wartime labor and material costs almost doubled the orig inal appropriation. The superstructure was com pleted in less than two years with thousands of workers main tained at a 24-hour schedule. Some 300 architects worked on the designing alone. Erected at an estimated cost of 873,000,000, it has three times the floor space of the Empire State building in New York City. In fact, the national Capitol would fit into any of its five wedge-shaped sections. PARADE! SANTA IN PERSON! DISPLAYS! HIM 1 3 Invite YOU To Attend the Canada's official emblem, is the maple leaf.
