FOR OUTSTANDING VALUES
to the committee was conveyed to
Senator Coon In a letter from
Houfe Minority Leader Joseph W.
Martin Jr., and confirmed by
Representative Walter Norblad ol
Oregon, who la a member of the
House Committee on' committees.
Rep. Martin wrote Coon, "that
the indications are now Uie next
House will be Republican. If that
should materialize, I am quite
sure we will be able to place you
on the Committee on Agriculture.
The NorUiweit is entitled to the
place. -
Rep. Norblad wrote Coon, "to
please be assured that upon your
election lo congress, mat aa a
member of the Committee on Com
mittees, I shall do everything Pos
sible to try to obtain you a place
on ine committee on Agriculture. "
Birong support of Coon for the
appointment emanates from his
long experience and Interest In the
problema of Oregon Agriculture
ana irom ine job ne aid as cnatr
man of the Senate Agriculture
Committee during the last session
of the Oregon legislature, was the
opinion expressed by , Republican
leaders,
up as security for the loan.
The company said the stock was
delivered to the government only
as securny.
This net off a transcontinental
court battle that aaw Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer cited by the
U. a. Appeals Court here for con
tempt. Bawyer not Into the picture
as chief government administrator
ol the line. The Appeals Court
upheld a District Court order that
Sawyer turn over the stock to the
Dollar Interests, Bawyer refused
and appealed the contempt charge
to the Supreme Court.
The high court never got around
to a ruling. The agreement between
Sawyer and the Dollar Interests
last June to sell the government
held stock made a Supreme Court
ruling unnecessary.
The sale agreement provided:
1. The stock would be sold
through competitive sealed bidding.
2. It no bid reached 14 million
dollars the government and the
Dollar Interests would split the
stock 50-50.
3. The government and the
Dollar interests will split the pro
ceeds ol any successlul bid 50-50,
the government share to go to the
U. 8. Treasury.
4. The Dollar Interests may
enter a bid, or Join In a bid.
R. Stanley Dollar, San Francisco
shipping executive who headed the
Dollar Line, haa , said hia group
wants to bid lor the President
Lines. Another West Coast llrm,
headed by the Blair Holdings
Corp., has also announced It would
bid. Other shipping firms, such la
Ihe Grace LIiicb and the American
Hawaiian Lines, may also bid.
Bidding closes at 11 a.m. (EST)
today.
U.N. Members Await Red Reply
To U.S. Charges in Korea War
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. W-The
United Nations waited in suspense
today for Russia's Andrei Y. VI
shlnsky to answer the massive
American Indictment of his coun
try's part in the Korean War. His
aides said the Soviet foreign minis
ter wouldn't be ready before tomor
row. - .
Debate on Korea In me oenerai
Assembly's key Political Commit
ter ha been, susrjended since last
Friday, when V. S. Secretary of
State Dean Acheson delivered1 a
three-hour "oral white book" ac
cusing Russia of planning, arming
and toucmng on me Korean agrea
sion. Delegates to the 60-natlon com
mittee met briefly yesterday, but
adjourned two minutes later when
no speakers came forward. All
other countries preferred to wait
until after the Russian has spoken.
The next committee meeting waa
set for tomorrow afternoon.
There was speculation that VI-
shlnsky may have wanted to con
fer with th Kremlin on some of
the major policy points In his ex
pected rebuttal of the Acheson
charges.
The American delegation, mean
while, scotched persistent reports
that talks are going on behind the
scenes, or are being arranged
through Intermediaries, between
the U. S. and Soviet bloc repre
sentatives on the Korean issue.
