STASSEN REVEALS
“FAVORITISM” IN
FOREIGN AID BIDS
WASHINGTON, (jP)—Harold E.
Stassen said yesterday a Senate
investigation has disclosed an
“effort to play favoritism” in
awarding a foreign aid contract
and he has barred those involved
from another chance to bid for
the work.
Stassen said the ban applies to
Robert H. Pinner, the fired proj
ect engineer for the job; Pinner’s
friend, Alfred E. Poulsen, Los
Angeles; the Agricultural Con
struction Co., of which Poulsen
is vice president; and any firm
with which either Poulsen or
Pinner is connected.
Stassen, outgoing chief of the
Foreign Operations Administra
tion (FOA>, made his statements
in testimony before the Senate
Investigations Subcommittee.
He protested at one point that
his agency has been caught “in
the middle” of pressures from
rival groups of Congress members
interested in the project, a grain
storage job in Pakistan.
But he quickly said the con
gressional intervention was “in
all instances in a proper manner
. . . there wasn’t anything wrong”
with what the lawmakers did.
The subcommittee is investigat
ing FOA’s handling of negotia
tions for the project. The inquiry
ranges around a complaint from
Sen. Symington (D-Mo) that Ag
ricultural Construction was cho
sen for the job despite the fact its
$2,400,000 bid was nearly a mil
lion dollars above the offers of
two Kansas City firms.
Indiana Governor Scores
Sen. Jenner for ‘Neurotic’
Criticism of Eisenhower
WASHINGTON, MV—:Republi
can Gov. George N. Craig said
yesterday Republican Sen. Jenner
“does not speak for the people of
Indiana” in what Craig termed
Jtoner’s “neurotic” criticism of
Eisenhower Administration for
eign policy.
The Indiana governor got out a
statement taking Jenner to task
for what he said was Jenner’s ac
cusation that unnamed officials of
the Eisenhower Administration
were following a policy of “ap
peasement” in the Far East.
“I am shocked,” Craig said,
“that, a member of the United
States Senate should utter such a
neurotic statement; I am bitterly
disappointed that this senator
should represent the State of In
diana.”
Craig called Jenner a “Johnny
come lately” to the field of “self
styled experts” on foreign affairs
and said the “spectacle of Sen.
Jenner second-guessing President
Eisenhower is not unlike an ele
mentary school pupil second
guessing Einstein.”

i Georges Enesco, Romanian
| Composer, Dies In Paris
PARIS, (£*) — Georges Enesco,
73, Romanian composer, conduct
I or and violinist, died today after
a long illness. A stroke last July
left him partly paralyzed.
He lived in France more than
50 years but never acquired
French citizenship. The Roman
ian embassy in Paris appealed
vainly to him several months ago
to return to his Communist
homeland.
Among Enesco’s compositions
were “Romanian Rhapsodies”
and the opera “Oedipe.”

Device, Set as “Gag,”
Scares Off Burglars
With Electronic Shouts
CHICAGO, Ub—The burglars
who broke into the Michigan
Electronics, Inc:, plant were
greeted by a' pleasant male voice:
“Good evening, gentlemen, We
remind you that this place is
electronically guarded. We sug
gest that you turn around and
disappear.”
There was a brief pause and
the male voice, not pleasant,
shouted:
“Help, police, Police! Thieves,
Burglars! HELP! POLICE!”
Next came a woman’s shrieks:
Call the police, help, HELP!
Call the Police.” Then a siren
wailed and alarm bells set up a
loud racket. 1
Nearby residents summoned
police but the burglars had fled.
Paul Grossi, engineer for the
company, which manufacturers
pocket size tape recorders, said
Monday he and another engineer
rigged up the device “largely as a
gag.” The burglary attempt Sat
urday night was its first test.
First Red Migs Make
Appearance at Matsus
TAIPEH, Formosa, — Chi
nese Communist Mig jets today
made their first appearance near
the Matsu Islands and tangled
with four Nationalist propelloF
planes, the Air Force reported.
The clash off the coast 50 miles
north of the Matsus came as Na
tionalist planes attacked three
gunboats across Formosa Strait
near Quemoy, 175 miles south
of Matsu. The Air Force said all
three were damaged, one heavily.
The air force did not claim any
of the Migs damaged in the Mat
su area clash. It said all four
Nationalist planes returned, to
base.
There was no speculation as to
where the Migs came from, but
the Communists have been stead
ily moving their airpower south
ward closer to Matsu and to For
mosa.
