Flemming With Integrity Unchallenged By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington (Special) Ar thur S. Flemming has sur vived, three days of thorough questioning by the Senate stockpile investigations sub committee, perhaps with his reputation for being a de manding administrator a trifle blemished but his integrity unchallenged. The president of the Uni versity of Oregon was a model of self-disciplined equa nimity as he withstood hour after hour of questions about the decisions he had made as President Eisenhower's de fense mobilizer which result ed in a massive government stockpile of commodities which cost the taxpayers sev eral billions and, in some in stances, proved profitable to a number of private concerns.

Survives Questions tion of corruption in the clas sic sense: a government of ficial rendering decisions in cahoots with a private inter est for mutual gain. But throughout the line of questioning there was an ef fort on the part of Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) and his chief counsel, R. C. Coburn, to show that the Eisenhower Administratis was too soli citous of the demands made by private interests who gained by Flemming's decis ions respecting government buying of chromite, lead, zinc and copper. Flemming handled all such cross-examination with a standard disclaimer of any primary intent to aid an in dustry. Always, he said, he acted in harmony with the president's policies, which were to safeguard the na tional security through acqui sition of critical materials as a hedge against the possibil ity of another war. Siskiyou Teachers Affend Convention Siskiyou County - The California Teachers' associa tion, northern section, con venton held in Sacramento recently was attended by three members from the Sis kiyou county group.

Flemming, in a word, was Christian gentleman who saw no evil, heard no evil and now would speak evil of no one. He even spoke well of his inquisitors. Mr. Coburn is very fair," he said after the second da v. "I have a real regard for Sen. Symington." Exerting great sclt-re-straint, Flemming was mag nanimous throughout the hearings to avoid arousing Symington's temper, which exploded sensationally last summer when former Treas ury Secretary George Humph rey apepared before the com mittee. If the noted educator failed to impress his investigators with his modus operandi among the great titans of the business world, Flemming loft a lasting impression that only the best intentions motivated his execution of the stockpile program. The Symington subcommit tee now retires to draft its findings, and its recommenda tions for disposal of surplus materials. It seems likely to score the effect of some of Flemming's decisions and to contend that a national security program was used to aid certain in dustries and the economy of certain areas, such as mining sections. But It is not likely to men tion that many members of Congress representing these interests were also urging Flemming to do substantially what he did.
