s o o Uncomfortable Summer Seen Ahead For University of Oregon President By A- ROBERT SMITH ' Mail Tribune) Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Ar thur S. Flemming's 7'? hours In the witness chair of a Sen- j . y J last week ap- ("t pear to be 1p ft 1 on only the be ginning of an .mcomfortabie summer in the nation's capi ta 1 for the p r e s ident of the University aWW- I!'.'-. Smith of Oregon headed by The committee Sen. Stuart Sy- mington (D-Mo ) plans to re call Flemming in June-"after school is out, when he will have more time to devote to this lalter' ard C. Cbur explained Hich , the chief coun sel of the stockpiling subcom piittec. When Fajmming offered at one point during the hearing to take a Ovo-)gonth leave of absence from the university helm in order to research all the- available govern m e n t files, it seemed to observers in the hearing room that the offer spr;os 'cm annoyance over being asked over and over again to remember meet ings and conferences that had long since vanished from his mind. Committee aides doubt thai this will be necessECi'. Nevertheless, Coburn said that Flemming will be recall ed Tor 'further questioning, possibly on stockpiling poli cies rclal; to such other metals as aluminum and Sick el as well aS copper, the sub ject of this past week's ques tioning. As director of the COice of Defense Mobilizatiri lrom the advent of the0Eisen howcr administration in Janu ary. 19d3 until March, 1957, Flemming played a key role in determining gnd executing policy governing the size of the stockpile of Wrategic ma- Icriii, programs for purchas ing raw materials, these priliminary hearings O o I'. La- ami . . ... showed, deferring pi cancel- ling deliveries from suppliers I this would make the govern - which led to the disputed i ment a trader in the market ' windfall profits" which under investigation. "We are going to have a good many hearings in May devoted to all kinds of aspects of this stockpile," explained Coburn, who heads a small squad of attorneys and gov ernment investigators who are pouring over bulky files made available by order of Presi dent Kennedy. Considerable Curiosity The implication is clear that the staff assumes Flemming may be asked to answer for other policies or practices of the government in that period There is considerable con gressional curiosity about the stockpile program because Kennedy decided it had be come overly large, but also because it had theretofore been shrouded in governrnt secrecy. Kennedy ordered the wraps taken off. O Flemming's chief problem with the committee was his inability to recall detailed conversations with other gov ernment officials during the copper crisis of 1955, seven years ago. While this is embarrassing, especially after the same ques tions are repeated by a chief counsel who. says he hopes to refresh the witness' memory, Flemming held his ground with his personal brand of vigorous equanimity. As a vc'o cran of many past congres sional hearings, he was any thing but cowed by the steady stream of questions. Often he replied with such verbal forc9 thai little clRids of moisture' burst from his mouth. When he approached the committee bAch from time to $ne to be handed a document for exam ination, Flemming crossed the roci)i looking like an eager exclamation point. Thus far, at least, the In vestigation has opened 0 a policy battleground. FrJ e in- and, a5ming has vigorously defended his overall policy of not sell- for T 1. 1 ( j ing from the stockpile because place. SymmgtMl has saia "reasonable men can differ," and he obviously is one who does differ on this. Republican Flemming can expect, at best, to be criticized by the Demo cratic majority of the commit tee when its writes its final report - criticized for policy differences. This will be no new ex perience for Flemming, who has survived many contro versies, including the great cranberry flak of 1959 when as secretary of health, educa tion and welfare, he warned the public just before Thanks giving that some cranberries had been contaminated by an unsafe weed killer. No one has challenged Flemming's honor nor even appeared to suspect that he is less than a man of high in tegrity and dedication to the public interest. But the com - mittce members have chal lenged several acts which they feel need more explana tion than the witness was able to provide from memory. 0The senators are not un sympathetic with Flemming's problem. When they asked him about one meeting of the Defense Mobilization Board on March 30, 1955, and handed him a cony of the minutes tu refresh his njpjnio, Flem ming observed wryly that the minutes shuwed this to be the 66lh meeting of that boaSi and he found it impossible to sort that meeting 9iut of his memory instantanectislyP May Review Files For his own Botection. not for the purposes of the Symington investigation, Flemming may have to spend tie this summer reviewing files before taking the witness chair again. 0 This investigation is being conducted in a relatively low key by some past congression al standards.

OREGON : bad guys have appeared Sy mington is such a good guy thai he apologizes when he upsets the witness. Counsel Coburn, a stately white hair ed gent who clears his throat with grandfather solemnity, never pounds the table de manding the truth. But both the senator and his chief counsel are from Mis souri, the "show me" state, and both appear determined to get some answers to the questions left unanswered bv Fleming's initial appearance before the committee.
