Action Follows Heated Debate in Closed Session Washington -ft'PD- A Senate committee overrode Republi can protests today and voted to let its stockpile investi gators examine income tax returns filed by former Treas ury Secretary George M. Humphrey's mining compa nies. The 9-4 vote of the Armed Services Committee was on strict party lines with Repub licans casting all of the oppo sition votes. The action came after a heated debate at a closed door session of the com mittee. The move was expected to set up a return clash between Humphrey, 73, who headed the Treasury Department dur ing the Eisenhower adminis tration, and Sen. Stuart Sy mington (D-Mo.) chairman of the stockpile Investigating subcommittee. In an earlier appearance by Humphrey, Symington all but called the Ohio financier a war profiteer. Humphrey charged in return' that the Democrats were attacking him because they feared to attack former President Dwighl D. Eisenhower directly. Profits The. Issue At Issue were profits made on nickel stockpile contracts between the government and firms formerly controlled by Humphrey. Sen. Prescott Bush (R Conn.) led the GOP opposi tion to the tax return exami nation at today's meeting. Joining him were Republican Sens. J. Glenn Beall (Md.), Barry Goldwater (Ariz.) and Leverett Saltonstall (Mass.). The Symington subcommit tee's Investigation of the Hanna contract is part of a Study to find out why the gov ernment piled up stockpile surpluses totalling $3.4 bil lion. ' . By Its vote, the Armed Serv ice s Committee authorized Symington's investigators to look Into tax returns and re lated documents of throe com-, panies formerly controlled by Humphrey. The authorization also cov ered the personal tax returns of Jess Larson, former Presi dent Harry S. Truman's last General Services administra tor. Larson was among those who signed contracts with Humphrey's companies four days before the Elsenhower administration took office in January, 1953. Can Examine. Records President Kennedy prev iously had authorized the com mittee to allow its stockpile investigators to examine the confidential records of the In ternal Revenue Service. Information gleaned from the tax returns of the Humph rey interests undoubtedly will be used when hearings into the nickel stockpile contracts resume next month. Symington said the Investi gation "certainly" would be resumed before election day. But he has promised a non partisan inquiry. Permission to examine tax flics covered the M A. Han na Co., Hanna Mining Co. and the Hanna Nickel Smelting Co., all of Cleveland. Humph rey is honorary board chair man of M.A. Hanna, the par ent firm. The investigators also were given the right to look In to the books of Humphrey's charitable trust, the George M. & Pamela foundation, also of Cleveland, and the Oregon Nickel Smelting Co., San Francisco, owner of nickel property near Riddle. Ore., which was leased to Humph rev's mining firms. Finally, the authorization Included the personal tax re turns of Melville C. Robinson, Pompano Beach, Fla., a tired government contracting officer who helped negotiate the controversial contracts.

Weatlnghoule 26, Younsatown 73 ;, First Survivors of Sea Tragedy Reach Ireland London -ttlPli- Two Royal Air Force helicopters today brought 17 injured American survivors of Sunday night's North Atlantic plane ditching to shore for medical treat ment. Pvt. Robert Hawkins, 23, Birmingham, Ala., said as his ambulance helicopter landed in Cork, Ireland: "We are lucky, oh, so lucky, to be alive." A doctor in Cork examined the first seven arrivals and told United Press Internation al two of them "are very bad." Most of the 17 survivors brought to shore from the freighter Celerina that res cued them had burns from floating in the gasoline filled water around the ditched charter airliner. Despite his injuries, one survivor, Pvt. Frank Bazell, Van Nuys, Calif., said: "I feel fine. I don't know why I should, but I do. I feel fine and all I want now is to sleep - sleep, sleep, sleep." Suffer From Burns The first man lifted from a helicopter, Sgt. Ralph E. Bates, moaned as Cork Air port ambulance crewmen low ered his stretcher. "No blankets ... no blan kets, please . . . they hurt my legs," Bates said, pointing to his exposed and burned legs. Bates is the son of Mrs. Nel lie Bates, Wurtland, Ky. Bates and six other men formed the first human cargo of the two helicopters that flew out to meet the Swiss freighter Celerina west of Ire land. - The Celerina had 44 sur vivors aboard, including the pilot of the ditched plane, Capt. John D. Murray, 44, who had earlier been reported aboard the other rescue ship, the Canadian aircraft carrier Bonaventure. Seventeen of those aboard the freighter were considered in bad enough condition to be flown to shore hospitals. Murray was not in jured in the ditching. All four survivors on the carrier were reported in good enough condition not to re quire airlifting to the shore. The RAF crewmen of the helicopters told UPI the Cel erina is "urgently" in need of more medical aid and food supplies for the rest of the survivors. It is expected to arrive at Antwerp, Belgium, Thursday. The injured wore only fragments of the uniforms in which they were clad when their Flying Tiger Lines Su per Constellation ditched at sea shortly before midnight Sunday with 76 persons aboard. ' A rescue official said "we believe the burns on at least the first batch of men brought in here were due to high oc tane petrol (gasoline) fumes." Also sailing toward Ireland for a meeting with ambulance helicopters was the Canadian aircraft carrier Bonaventure carrying the other four sur vivors and 12 bodies. An air sea search for the remaining 16 passengers and crewmen was abandoned at dusk Tuesday night with no further hope of finding them alive. EASTER PARADE?

Treasury Agents Smash Montana Counterfeit Ring Missoula, Mont. - IUPD Treasury Department agents Tuesday night smashed what appeared to be the center of a multistate counterfeiting ring headquartered in Mis soula. A Missoula man, Robert Duane Robinson, 31, was taken into custody and nearly $40,000 In bogus $20 bills plus printing supplies were seized. Police indicated there were other suspects in the case although treasury agents had no comment. Robinson was picked up as he got out of a car carrying money near a warehouse on the south side. He was ar raigned before U.S. Commis si o n e r J. E. Brodie on a charge of making, transport ing and possessing counter feit money. Regional Edition Medford Page 2-A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1962 Robinson was being held at the Missoula county jail in lieu of $15,000 bond.
